subject: Why To Choose A Hotel Over A Motel [print this page] There are many who wonder why to choose a hotel over a motel. Among the main reasons is comfort. Decorators are chosen that spend time choosing the furnishings that will be used in every room. It is selected not just for looks but also for comfort. Sleeping snugly at night makes the stop worthwhile.
This does not always seem to be the case in motels. Furniture appears to be thrown together and not always of good quality. When it's time to wake up it is with a feeling of relief. The mattresses never seem to be quite right. They are always either too soft or too firm. Another feature that is scarce would be bath tubs. Not everyone is a shower person.
A consideration for many who have stayed at both types of accommodations would be the cleanliness. In a motel maid service is available at check out times but scarcely seen in between. During a stay at a hotel they are not only in sight but working. One would think they are always on the lookout for dust. And the thought of insects of any kind never crosses the mind.
For those who are concerned about security they will be able to relax. In order for anyone to access their room they would have to pass the front desk. And there is the added comfort of fire alarms that motels do not offer. In many locations parking garages are also available for added safety.
An unstated feature that is appreciated is the feeling of luxury. A motel is a place to stop for the night to break up a trip. But with a hotel there is the feeling of being pampered. With the delicate little soaps and the bottles of shampoo there is a feel of gentility. And there is the offer of the turn down service in the evening.
When a family goes on vacation places to visit can be chosen by the type of accommodations they will have to stay in. What type of restaurant is offered might be a major choice for many travelers. Relaxing in a spa could be a big incentive after a day of driving. And they know that they will be able to relax while they stay for several days. The place was chosen for all of the best qualities. For a great vacation a hotel is always better than a motel.
