What is the difference between hotel and motel?

If you stay at a hotel, you'll get more than just a room or suite to sleep in. You may also benefit from a restaurant, swimming pool, fitness center and spa. A motel, on the other hand, typically doesn't offer amenities. It is solely designed to give you a place to sleep and free of “extras.”
