Handy tips

How motels score over hotels

Motels are usually small establishments that offer basic services, such as meals and a room for travellers. They are convenient, cheaper than hotels and may even offer comparable amenities. Here are a few reasons to book motels on your next vacation.

Personalised services: They typically have a few rooms, usually less than 20. Due to their small size, motels can provide personalised and attentive service, making your stay memorable.

Affordable prices: Their prices are lower as compared to hotels. This makes them an ideal option for travellers who are looking for a bed and a meal for a short amount of time.

Easy accessibility: They usually have an open-plan setting, making all rooms accessible. Often, you can pull your vehicle right up to the front door of your room to easily carry your luggage.
