CHATEAU MOTEL
Route 177, Westport Mass.

20 spacious rooms, fully carpeted, tile bath, heated
free TV, near beaches. Open year round. Phone

"We now feature a giant pool, restaurant, cocktail
lounge, and free continental breakfast. (AAA)"
The word motel was coined in California 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.
