Hotel definitions continued

Some asked "what's the difference between a motel, hotel and a bed & breakfast. I define a motel in a previous post.

A hotel is frequently described as an establishment that provides lodging with their sleeping rooms opening into inside or interior corridor. Single female travelers, school groups and other guests enjoy this feature as it provides enhanced security and is common request. Hotels also generally provide meals or have a restaurant located on the premises. Other guest services provided by hotels can include meeting and conference facilities, swimming pool, game or exercise room, secretarial services, cocktail lounge plus many additional ones.

A resort hotel has many of the above features plus it’s a place frequented by people for relaxation or recreation. This means that resort properties may offer a casino, a water park or water sport activities, golf course, tennis courts, indoor/outdoor pools, spa treatments, horse back riding or hiking trails, skiing, gourmet dining and so forth.

In my next post I'll define the bed & breakfast for you.
