A motel, sometimes called motor home motel or roadside motel, is typically a small hotel designed especially for drivers, often with each room directly outside of the main parking lot for larger automobiles. More about these hotels are built-in recreational centers complete with all necessary amenities such as restaurants, bars, swimming pools, and other attractions for travelers. Motel rooms offer the traveler more privacy than does a traditional hotel room because they are located so closely to the activities in the rest of the park. Although many hotels are privately owned and managed, most motels are managed by a franchise or chain. There are several different types of motel including single family motels, large multiple unit hotels, host families, and themed motels.
