Motel : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Motel

The word motel is a blend of two other words: “motor” and “hotel”... The lexical origin of the word implies that this type of hotel was originally meant to offer a «one-night» accommodation for motorists halfway through their journey. They first appeared in the 1920's, in parallel with the development of the US' highway system which allowed people to drive on longest distance.

As opposed to a hotel, whose business mainly rests on its ability to provide its customers with many extra services (tiny soaps, breakfast time) in a warm and friendly atmosphere, a motel hasn't been built for comfort and does not offer any particular conveniences.
Motorists, mostly truck drivers, check in a motel only when their eyes begin to strain from driving for a too long period of time. They want cheap rooms and fancy no big stuff.

Motel



Hotels are for families in holidays who booked in advanced and want to feel like home. Motels are not!

Standard motels are scattered along a highway and feature flashy neon signs to attract the driver's eye. These places are made for the driver to rest and put no big emphasis on the welcome approach. Rooms are small individual cabins overlooking the parking lot. When you check in, you usually pay in advance, because the desk is not necessarily on the way to the rooms. There might be a dining room in some motels, but consider that a motel is like chain fast-food restaurant: stays must be quick, you can drop in any time you want, and the registration process is fairly simple.

Sometimes people stay longer than usual. The night spent is cheaper than in a hotel, and the doors orientation really keep people minding their own business: doors don't face an interior hallway, but are oriented to the exterior. All these factors make people with low incomes who can't afford to buy a house to stay for a long-term period.
Because they make anonymity easier, motels have been the shelter of many fugitives. In the past, you could pay cash for your overnight stays and register under a bogus name.
