Hotel vs. Motel

Ever wondered what the actual difference was between a hotel and a motel? Or even, where the words hotel and motel came from? Here are a few facts you may or may not have known about these terms of lodging.

The English word hotel comes from French, where the world also means residence. It is derived from the Old French term hostel.

The word motel, is a blend of motor and hotel or motorists' hotel. It is a type of hotel consisting of a single building of connected rooms whose door faced a parking lot.

We recently wrapped up a hotel project in Leland, NC. The West Gate Best Western is now open for travelers looking for a place to rest and relax and enjoy that beautiful North Carolina weather!
