Question

What is the difference between an Hotel and Motel?

Answer 1

very little these days, but originally a hotel had an entrance you went through to get to your room and a motel was a 'motor hotel' where you entered your room directly from outside (i.e. the parking lot)

Answer 2

about 25 dollar

Answer 3

A hotel all the rooms are inside of a building. You enter your room from inside the building. In a motel the doors to the rooms are accessed from outside. You park right in front of your door and go in.
