Small Lower Priced Hotels

Like I categorized them according to price and services provided and other basic factors so I start looking them in the same order starting from the cheapest ones .

Motel

A motel is a hotel designed for motorists and usually has a parking area for motor vehicles. As large highway systems began to be developed in the 1920s, long-distance road journeys became more common, and the need for inexpensive, easily accessible overnight accommodation sites close to the main routes led to the growth of the motel concept.

Motels differ from hotels in their location along highways, as opposed to the urban cores favored by hotels, and their orientation to the outside (in contrast to hotels, whose doors typically face an interior hallway). Motels almost by definition include a parking lot, while older hotels were not usually built with automobile parking in mind.

Star Lite Motel in Minnesota

So what we found common in all these motels is that they are typically constructed in an "I"-, "L"-, or "U"-shaped layout that includes guest rooms. A motel was typically single-story with rooms opening directly onto a parking lot, making it easy to unload suitcases from a vehicle.[

Capsule Hotels or Pods

A capsule hotel is a type of hotel developed in Japan that features a large number of extremely small "rooms" (capsules) intended to provide cheap, basic overnight accommodation for guests who do not require the services offered by more conventional hotels.

Hostel

Hostels provide budget-oriented, sociable accommodation where guests can rent a bed, usually a bunk bed, in a dormitory and share a bathroom, lounge and sometimes a kitchen.

Different from Hotels:

• Informal environment.

• Budget oriented

• Self catering

• More areas to socialize.

Guest House

A guest house is a kind of lodging. In some parts of the world a guest house is similar to a hostel, bed and breakfast, or inn where in other parts of the world, guest houses are a type of inexpensive hotel-like lodging. In still others, it is a private home which has been converted for the exclusive use of guest accommodation.

Major Benefits are:

• Healthy and Home made food

• Personalized attention

• Quietness

• Inexpensiveness.

Now after going through the couple of small/medium sized hotels it was kind of mandatory to look at the other side also with all the glamour and money. So I started looking at the types and distinguishing characteristics of the high class and expensive chain of hotels.
