The hotel development history of motels

As early as 1925, there were motels in America. That's because with the popularity of cars, there is a need for hotels that can both park and rest. The original motel only provided parking spaces, and passengers spent the night in the car. Later, it became a hotel with a parking lot, which is convenient for motorists to stay. The guest didn't sleep in the car, but lived in the guest room. So in the United States, motels are mostly near expressway. Motels are usually located in the suburbs of cities because they need large parking lots.

Motels are also for car-free passengers. They are very common and popular hotels. I stayed in motels in America and Australia. Usually, motels don't even have a star. How can a motel in Taiwan Province Province be more elegant than any five-star hotel, and even be called a "super six-star hotel"?

Moran Motel is the first top motel in Taichung. Not long ago, Liu Changle, director of Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite TV, led a delegation of mainland real estate developers (dubbed "the mainland rich group" by Taiwan Province media) to stay in this motel. Several love TV dramas in Taiwan Province Province were also filmed here, which made Moran Motel famous.

So, under the guidance of GPS, in the thick night, I drove to the municipal road in Xitun District of Taichung City. Along the way, I saw several motel signs with the words "motel" flashing. My eldest daughter-in-law told me that there are motels in Taipei, Kaohsiung, Keelung, Tainan and Hualien in Taiwan Province Province, among which Taichung and Taipei are the most.

Pay attention to absolute confidentiality and cell phone signal shielding.

Motels in Taiwan Province Province pay according to the room size and time. The so-called "time period" means two hours or two and a half hours as a time period, because tourists who stay here rarely stay for 24 hours. The price is the most expensive after midnight. The price during the day is cheaper than at night. It costs more than NT$ 2,500 (about 5 16 RMB) every two hours. Overnight rooms are often more than 10 thousand Taiwan dollars (more than 2,000 RMB), and extra-large rooms are more expensive.

The toll lady only reported the room number and didn't give the door key. The car drove in, just like entering the parking lot of the apartment. All garages are locked with metal shutter doors, and there is a luminous number above the garage, which is the room number. One of the garage doors is slowly rolling up. When I look at the number, it is the room number we booked.

When the car enters the garage, press the button and the garage door will slowly droop and close. The garage communicates with the guest room, and now the door of the guest room has been automatically opened. When I entered the motel, I didn't meet any waiters except the toll lady through the window at the entrance. Absolute secrecy is the most important thing here, and monitors are not allowed to be installed. The most surprising thing is that when entering here, the mobile phone is blocked and the outside phone can't come in, so as to eliminate "interference".

There is a big bed in the room, a double bed more than two meters wide. 46-inch HD LCD TV, big air conditioner, big sofa, big chandelier, big refrigerator. The most surprising thing is that the bathroom is very big, almost as big as the bedroom. The walls and floors of the bathroom are covered with beige marble, and the square marble bath is the most eye-catching, about 4 square meters.

Motels in Taiwan Province Province are characterized by "high-quality goods, fashion and leisure" and spare no expense in luxury decoration. Because of this, motels in Taiwan Province Province are also called "boutique hotels". Motels in Taiwan Province Province have various styles, including oriental style, Indonesian Borneo style, European French romantic style, Moulin Rouge, Vatican Temple, Norwegian forest, blue and white Greece, mysterious Egypt, Mexico and American style. There is also the style of imitating the first class of the American blockbuster Titanic. All the decorations and furniture are 19 10 British style. Another theme is "Shanghai Night". The furniture in the room is Shanghai style in 1930s, and posters of movie stars such as Hu Die and Zhou Huan are hung on the wall.
