Hotels Motels Inn- Which Is Best For Your Vacation

Introduction

When you decide to embark upon a trip, accommodation is a very important factor to take under consideration. The three options that are available are motels and hotels. Each has varying features, prices and benefits. In this article I will explore each avenue and make a summary of what accommodation suits what type of traveller.

Step 1

Motels: Motels or motor hotel is type of accommodation which is seen as designated for motorists. The typical layout of motels is either in a U, L or l shape and it may have a pool or/and diner. Additionally, some motels have a specific theme like the eighties or western, which can be a fun extra quality. Motels are typically a cheaper accommodation option, which could be an attractive trait for the frugal or if you need to stay for a longer period of time. The cost is usually an hourly charge. Motels would be a good option for those who wish to save money or have limited financial resources. Also if you are looking to stay for a longer period of time, motels could be seen as a sensible option. In summary the frugal long term traveller would benefit from motels.

Step 2

Hotels are another option for travellers and sometimes a more pricy variant of accommodation. This type of accommodation is normally for a shorter time duration, making it ideal for business and for special occasions i.e. honeymoon. Hotels offer a wide range of amenities such as Wi-Fi access, complimentary breakfast and newspapers, access to a pool and exercise centre, valet, laundry service and an in house dining option. In the room itself many hotels provide flat screen televisions, luxurious spa baths, bar fridges, coffee makers and iPod docks. There are also some hotels which cater for your pets, so if you don’t want to leave your four legged friend behind this is an attractive feature. The cost of hotels are usually determined by amount of days stayed. Hotels are a type of accommodation that would be best suited for business travel and for special occasions. Honeymooners would benefit from a stay in a hotel, with some even offering Romance suites.

Step 3

An Inn is a place of residence that is usually found out of cities, normally along a highway or in the country. An Inn is quite similar to motels, in the sense that they are mainly aimed at motorist travellers. An Inn typically is an inexpensive accommodation option, offering only the bare necessities like food, a comfortable bed to rest on and a bathroom to clean up in. The cost of an inn is usually determined by a hourly rate. An Inn would be a good choice for travellers who do not want to spend too much money, nor do they wish to stay long.
