AAA describes as follows:

"Hotel-full service. Usually high-rise establishments, offering a wide range of services and on-premise food/beverage outlets, shops, convenience facilities and recreation activities.

Motel-limited service. Low-rise or multi-story establishment offering limited public and recreational facilities."

And another that looks like a cross between....

"Motor Inn-moderate service. Single or multi-story establishment offering on-premise food/beverage service, meeting and banquet facilities and some recreational facilities."

They also describe: Country Inns, Resorts, Bed & Breakfast, Condominiums, Complexes, Lodges, Apartments, Cottages, and Ranches. Whewwwwwwww.
