The main difference between the two is the quality level. Hotels are generally higher quality for the price than motels. The other major difference is that motels are generally designed to be near major thoroughfares so as to bring in those travelling by road. Hotels on the other hand are higher priced and generally cater more to those who travel into a city by air, or by car if it is their final destination. Motels also tend to have the look and feel more like a small bedroom in your house, though they aren't necessarily homey like your house would be. Also, Hotels tend to have multiple stories while motels are usually one or two stories at the most. These are most of the major differences between the two.

Motels are commonly in a U shape and feature single rooms that face a parking lot of courtyard. Hotels, on the other hand, normally have enclosed rooms and pools.
