Historically, motels were much more convenient that rurally located hotels. In an era where the major highways became “Main Street” in every town along the way, motels were always near car lots, gas stations, amusement parks, roadside diners, theater and many other roadside businesses.

If the budget is a top priority, then a motel is almost always a better choice than a hotel. Motels are not built on expensive pieces of land located in prime spots in big cities. Because of that, the prices at hotels are generally higher than motels.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, which created a 41,000-mile interstate highway system throughout the country. The highway system was intended to create roads for safe travel and quick evacuation routes in the case of atomic attack - a major concern during the Cold War years of the 1950s and 1960s. An unintended consequence was additional motels to be available for the motoring public on long trips.

In the early 1900s, the earliest automobile owners who wanted to discover the country were not interested in hotels. These were located in the middle of the city, usually next to the railroad station. Eventually, cities built free auto camps to help auto travelers.

California architect Arthur Heineman coined the term Mo-Tel out of the words "motor" and "hotel," but it was more of an accident than anything else. Heineman's reason for shortening the name? The full name he wanted for his establishment, the "Milestone Motor Hotel," wouldn't fit on the sign.

People have been traveling since the beginning of time, and that means they’ve had to have somewhere to sleep overnight. Hospitality services like motels go back as far as biblical times, and perhaps even further. As long as people have places to go, they will also need places to sleep.
