RESORT HOTEL
Resort hotels are frequented by the customer on vacation. They may feature amenities that will permit their clientele to relax and have fun. Popular amenities may include: spas, pools, beach or mountain locations, on-site kids’ activities, restaurants, pool bars and babysitting services.
Concierges are often available to help patrons find restaurants or book sightseeing tours. Patrons often stay a week or more. Resort hotels, because of their many amenities, often attain high star ratings.
Airport hotels are designed to have clean rooms and are booked because of their close proximity to the airport. Often, they offer shuttles to and from the airport. Many airport hotels offer business amenities and restaurants for guests. Airport hotels may have a high turnover of guests staying for short durations of time, and are often located in cities.
Economy hotels provide limited amenities at reasonable rates. Sometimes, economy hotels provide guests with a complimentary continental breakfast. Economy hotels in resort areas may be off the beaten path, or in a slightly less desirable location. Economy hotels offer basic room accommodations, and many do not have full service on-site restaurants. More recently, some economy hotels have adjacent chain restaurants within walking distance, often sharing the same parking lot.
Conference centers and commercial hotels are designed for business clientele. Conference centers feature multipurpose rooms that can accommodate seminars and business programs. They have banquet facilities that can serve and accommodate large parties, and also offer equipment and acoustics suitable for speakers and visual presentations. Some conference centers and commercial hotels are located in resort areas, but they still focus on the business needs of clients and companies.
Suite hotels appeal to business people that prefer a separate work space or families that want one room, yet also want some room separation from children. They often feature multiple rooms, and may have a pull-out bed in addition to the main sleeping area. Suite hotels have a broad range of amenities, and can be classified as high as a luxury hotel, or as a basic economy hotel, depending on the location and the services offered
HOSTELS
Hostels provide budget-oriented, sociable accommodation where guests can rent a bed, usually a bunk bed, in a dormitory and share a bathroom, lounge, and sometimes a kitchen. Rooms can be mixed or single-sex, although private rooms may also be available.
Hostels are generally cheaper for both the operator and the occupants; many hostels have long-term residents whom they employ as desk clerks or housekeeping staff in exchange for free accommodation.
A motel is a hotel designed for motorists and usually has a parking area for motor vehicles. Entering dictionaries after World War II, the word motel, coined as a portmanteau contraction of "motor hotel", originates from the Milestone Mo-Tel of San Luis Obispo, California (now called the Motel Inn of San Luis Obispo), which was built in 1925.The term referred initially to a type of hotel consisting of a single building of connected rooms whose doors faced a parking lot and in some circumstances, a common area or a series of small cabins with common parking. Motels are often individually owned, though motel chains do exist.
