  The word motel was coined in 1925, as a portmanteau contraction of "motor hotel".
Motels are designed to accommodate motorists, and in many cases of single-level motor lodges, have parking spaces placed directly outside each tenant's room.
   As large highway systems began to be developed in the 1920s, long-distance road journeys became more common, and the need for inexpensive, easily accessible overnight accommodation sites close to the main routes led to the growth of the motor lodge concept.
