• Wikipedia - motel

Entering dictionaries after World War II, the word motel (from MOtorists' hoTEL) referred initially to a single building of connected rooms whose doors face a parking lot and/or common area or a series of small cabins with common parking. Their creation was driven by increased driving distances on the United States highway system that allowed easy cross-country travel. The concept originated with the Motel Inn of San Luis Obispo, constructed in 1925 by Arthur Heinman. The motels are also found along highways in rural and urban areas across Canada.
