Hi
Council are currently doing a lot of storm water drainage works in our area
so various roads will be closed off for some time (several months).
Probably a silly question I know, but I'm not assuming :-), but will

In the USA, we would also assume a motel offers free parking. Hotels may
charge extra for parking, especial if located downtown or next to an
airport.
Is this also the case in Europe and Australia?

The major difference between a 'hotel" and a "motel" originally was the
configuration of the building with respect to parking. At a traditionally
designed motel, the cars are parked outside the units, which typically open
to the outdoors, not to a hallway, so that patrons of
Thank you for bringing this up bkil, as it raises a problem that I have
noticed, but not discussed, myself.
At least in Australia, & possibly other places?, we have several
classifications of hotel &/or motel.
We have "International" hotels eg

Unfortunately, if we only included the objective criteria based on a high
interaction between the parking lot and the rooms, then the number of
motels in Hungary for example would be near zero. As two of you have raised
concerns regarding this change, I've reverted it and moved the text to my
own
I would go one step further, an say that there is essentially no functional
definition of the difference between a generic "motel" and a generic
"hotel". In fact many of the "hotel"s I have stayed in, mainly in the USA,
were "motel"s according to the criteria given in the proposal.

Hello Niklaas,
I have written my own arguments - I have not copied anything from
Wikipedia, I wrote every sentence of the text you see there myself. I've
actually came up with my own arguments first based on limited local
experience and only then double checked in Wikipedia whether I was way off.
Thank you for asking.
I go a lot to either motels or hotels and I also think that the
difference between a motel and an hotel is mainly based on the design of
the place, not on the number of nights, the proximity to tourist
attractions or major highways or the cost of the land. Consequently I

Thank you for the insight, I'll try to figure out a better wording there.
I'm also considering to improve the wording of the guest house and hotel
articles in the future, though I'll need to find a way to do this without
adding too much redundancy.
Well, what I wanted to convey in those sentences

The one concern I have is the new sentences that suggest that hotels are
“typically not [booked for ] single night” while motels are usually booked
for 1 night.
I have certainly stayed for 2 to 3 nights at a “Motel 6” and other motels.
And I have never encountered problems booking rooms for a

Recently I've noticed there is `tactile_paving=contrasted` tag.
I want to specify "uncontrasted" tactile pavings also.
