"Although the hotel employees were friendly and helpful, the location wasn't convenient to nice restaurants or entertainment. The room smelled like mold, and there was mold on the shower curtain. The windows didn't open for fresh air. The whirlpool wasn't that clean. Renting bicycles is a fun and affordable way to see many local attractions.2017-10-29"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
