What is the difference between hotel and a motel?

A motel is a hotel providing travelers with lodging and free parking facilities, typically a roadside hotel having rooms adjacent to an outside parking area or an urban hotel offering parking within the building.


A hotel is a commercial establishment offering lodging to travelers and sometimes to permanent residents, and often having restaurants, meeting rooms, stores, etc., that are available to the general public.What is the difference between hotel and a motel?
Motel is short for motor hotel. The difference between the two, is that you can drive directly to your door at a motel. At a hotel, you must enter the building to access your room door. Some motels now have two of more floors, but the doors are still on the outside of the building. Definitions:What is the difference between hotel and a motel?
a hotel offers more ammenities such as food, pool, multi floors and better service
There is no much difference between the two. The word ';Motel'; is derived from the term ';Motor Hotel';. In 1950s the hotels used to provide motor parking facilities to rest as an additional comfort. Instated of calling this service as Motor Hotel they start to call MoTel.
A Hotel consists of one building with many rooms stacked on top of each other, the rooms are accessed by a hallway via several floors.


A motel consists of individual buildings containing a few rooms each. Most Motels are layed out so guests can park their cars right at the front door to their room. Motels are usually only 2-stories tall.
The SPELLING ofcourse some thing else also differs
Hotel and motel appears to be similar in meaning. Both are undertaking commercial activity. Hotel is one, where there are number of rooms with all facilities for the stay of travellers, permanent residents etc, having restaurants, gym,club, swimming pool. Motels are situated on road side with small room independent unit with free car parking facility. Of course the charges are more in hotel and less in motel.
Basically you access a motel from the outside. They either have one level or two, and you have to go along a walk way to access your room. You can get maid service if your a resident of the motel long enough, but generally they dont bother until you check out. Tipping is appreciated by the cleaning staff. No food service is available, but, usually there is a food establishment close by so that you can get what you need, either in the next building or down the road.





In a Hotel all rooms are accessed from the inside, either via elevator for different floors or escalators or stairs. Maid service is often provided once a day or every other day. In a posh motel, you may have room service, but it comes with a high cost of delivery and often is charged to your credit card. Tipping is always appreciated. In most hotels, there is a complimentary breakfast or brunch being served in the lobby or off the lobby area.





Parking is generally adaquate at both a motel and hotel as each room must have so many parking spaces alloted to the hotel now..(Industary standards).





A motel will ';usually'; not have a pool (unless your in a vacation resort area), but a hotel has a lot of amenities such as pools, saunas, workout rooms and gyms.





Motels are just a room to stay at, where a hotel has enough to make you want to stay.


Both have televisions and phones available in rooms. (Motels often charge you for outside calls). You must present a credit card when checking into either a hotel or motel.





I wish you well..
