A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging, usually
on a short-term basis. Hotels often provide a number of additional guest
services such as a restaurant, a swimming pool or childcare.
Some
hotels have conference services and meeting rooms and encourage groups
to hold conventions and meetings at their location. Hotels differ from
motels in that most motels have drive-up, exterior entrances to the
rooms, while hotels tend to have interior entrances to the rooms, which
may increase guests' safety and present a more upmarket image.
