The word motel is derived from two words - motor and hotel. It had its origin in the
early days of motoring; a traveller tired and weary after a day's journey sought some
shelter for the night in a farmer's stable and was willing to pay a small fee for the
accommodation. Today the roads of America are lined with motels, and millions use
them every night. Often they run on both sides of a road leading into a town. But
they are also found in isolated
any
settlement
There are many kinds of motels. Some of them are imitations of "English villages"
with thatched roofs. Some are attractive log cabins of American origin. Some are set
up in the style of Spanish estates, some look like Eskimo igloos. Motels can be simple
shacks with bare floors and rudimentary furnishings, or luxurious places offering 10
accommodation of the standard of a Five Star Hotel. In the Far West, where they have
reached their highest development, many are located around palm-clad swimming
pools and have their own restaurants. Some have facilities for doing the traveller's
laundry while he sleeps, and servicing his car during the night. Most have attractive
gardens with tables and chairs under trees, where the motorist spends a pleasant hour
before going to bed.
In most States, roadside tourist camps are strictly supervised by the local authorities
who ensure that high standards of cleanliness and comfort are maintained. The cabins
themselves
may
be small: one-room affairs or four-room houses large enough to put
up a whole family. Some have kitchens with refrigerators and cooking pots and pans. 20
In the West, almost all are air-conditioned, so that they are fresh and cool when the
temperature outside is rather high; and in the winter they are centrally heated. A great
many offer television sets in every cabin.
