What is a motel?

The English words "motor" and "hotel" are taken from the front and the back respectively, and combined into a new word, which means motel. It is convenient to write and read in this way, and the meaning is clear at a glance. Generally speaking, when people go to hotels to stay, they all stay in hotels, and cars are placed in garages near hotels. But motels are different. You can drive directly into the hotel room and check in without getting off. This hotel has a parking space connected to the guest room, a garage on the first floor, and separate stairs and elevators leading to the guest room on the second and third floors. The single-family design is very safe and secure for the driver. At present, there are not many motels and hotels in China, which are still in the development stage. Well-known motels include Six-Star Motel (Shenzhen) and a portal website covering the entire motel industry chain, providing themed hotel reservations and other information.
