Freeway Hotels and Motels

Freeway hotels and motels came into prominence in the 1950s and 1960s. As Americans took to the open road, they needed a convenient place to stay that was reasonably priced with few frills. Guests could sim­ply drive up, park outside the office, register, rent a room, and park out­side of the room. Over the years, more facilities were added: lounges, restaurants, pools, soft drink machines, game rooms, and satellite TV.

Motels are often clustered near freeway off-ramps on the outskirts of towns and cities. Today, some are made of modular construction and have as few as eleven employees per hundred rooms. These savings in land, construction, and operating costs are passed on to the guest in the form of lower rates [1, 103].
