The word motel originates from the Motel Inn of San Luis Obispo, first built in 1925 by Arthur Heinman. Entering dictionaries after World War II, the motel (aka the motor hotel) referred initially to a single building of connected rooms whose doors face a parking lot and/or common area, and their creation wasthe outcome of the creation of the United States highway system which predated the Interstate highway system and allowed easy cross-country travel.
There is no hard and fast rule differentiating motels from other hotels, although a motel is clearly suggesting that it is aimed at motorists. This may simply mean that it is a hotel with good access to the road network (on a motorway or ring road) so that a long car journey need not be interrupted for long by town-centre traffic. In other cases the designation is simply an attempt to make the most of a poor location inconvenient for town-centre services and attractions. Classically, though, a motel is a hotel which is made convenient for people who, for whatever personal reason, wish to be able to have quick access from the outside world (especially from their parked car) to the hotel room - without passing the scrutiny of a receptionist or fellow guests. This is usually arranged by having rooms (sometimes in individual chalets or even trailers) arranged around the car park with room doors opening directly to the outside rather than to an internal corridor.
The word hotel derives from the French h么tel, which referred to a French version of a townhouse or any other building seeing frequent visitors, not a place offering accommodation (in contemporary usage, h么tel has the meaning of ';hotel';, and h么tel particulier is used for the old meaning). The French spelling (with the circumflex) was once also used in English, but is now rare. The circumflex replaces the 's' once preceding the 't' in the earlier hostel spelling, which over time received a new, but closely related meaning.

The only difference between Motel and hotel is that motel has resorts and place where you can stay and have food too but in a hotel you can only have food and there is no place to stay like resorts and stuff u noe
HOTEL: a commercial establishment offering lodging to travelers and sometimes to permanent residents, and often having restaurants, meeting rooms, stores, etc., that are available to the general public.
MOTEL: a hotel providing travelers with lodging and free parking facilities, typically a roadside hotel having rooms adjacent to an outside parking area or an urban hotel offering parking within the building.
i hope these definitions help =]
I believe a hotel is much nicer and desirable than a motel. A motel may not take as much pride in cleanliness or amenities. Although, there are of course some exclusions.
I have found that hotels are nice when I am ready to splurge and have a nice place to stay, however, motels get the job done if you just need a place to rest your head and you're not actually spending much time there besides sleeping.
Hope that helped!
A motel is more simple, you have your own outside entry door. Hotels usually have a lobby with hallways leading to your room. Motels have usually not more than an electric coffeepot with a package of instant coffee. Hotels have usually a coffee shop, and frequently a breakfast is offered.
Also....a Hotel is high in the air (multiple stories high). A Motel is usually one level (sometimes 2).
I think that in motels you have some places to prepare your food, it's like a room with a place to cook, while in a hotel you're supposed to go there just to use the bed and the bathroom...
