What is the difference between hotel and motel in hotel management sector ?

Motels employ a comparatively small number of employees, typically receptionists and housekeepers. For very small motels, receptionists also might perform housekeeping and laundry duties.

Hotels can contain hundreds of rooms and several floors; they generally have staircases, elevators and internal corridors that lead to the rooms. Motels commonly have a one- or two-floor layout and guests access their rooms directly from the parking lot.Some hotels, especially those in the luxury-accommodations realm, exhibit specific styles of architecture and design, such as the Waldorf Astoria of New York. Motels typically have a more utilitarian construction.

Hotels, for example, might have receptionists, concierges that offer advice and directions to local sites of interest, and bellhops that bring luggage to guest rooms. They also might employ chefs, housekeepers, parking valets, doormen and elevator operators. A manager, or several, might be on duty to supervise employees and help resolve problems.

In general, hotels offer a wider breadth of services. These might include room service, an on-site restaurant and cocktail lounge, laundry and on-site recreation and relaxation such as indoor swimming pools, exercise equipment and spa services, such as hot tubs and masseuse service. Some hotels double as resorts, offering their guests extensive entertainment options such as casinos and theaters. Motels traditionally offer fewer services, but some have swimming pools and a complimentary light breakfast.

Hotels and motels also differ in price and often in the duration of stay for guests. Hotel accommodations commonly cost more, though location is key; a four-star hotel in a small or mid-sized city might cost far less than a lesser motel in a more expensive area of the country,

Motels, by design, offer shorter-term accommodations: Many are located in remote areas and provide travelers with a place to sleep for a night or two. An exception would be a long-term motel guest — someone, perhaps, who lost a home to fire or is new in a particular city. He might live there for several weeks or months while arranging for a more permanent home.

Accommodation sector

The accommodation sector is responsible for providing people with a suitable place to stay and includes hotels, motels and motor lodges, resorts, bed and breakfasts (B&B), caravan parks, hostels and serviced apartments. Each of these establishments provides a different level of service from luxury to self-service. For example:

• hotels provide accommodation and food and beverage services. Rooms are cleaned daily and in most large hotels, the front desk operates24 hours a day to satisfy guest needs.
• resorts provide a range of entertainment and activities as well as accommodation and food and beverage service. Resorts are often popular with families as they provide entertainment which is suitable for the whole family.
• hostels provide accommodation and cooking facilities and are often dormitory style to suit young backpackers who are on a budget.
• caravan parks provide accommodation, some cooking facilities and will often provide entertainment facilities such as swimming pools and children’s play areas.
