What's the difference between a Hotel and a Motel?
99791
A motel is more for short term stays and traveling motorists.  You access the room from the parking lot.  \n\nHotels are more equipped for long term stays.  They often have conference rooms and you have access to your room from inside the building.  \n\nGenerally, if you get into your room from a door that is outside it is a motel.  If you get into your room from a door that is inside the building, it is a hotel.

Take the Bus. Mgt., I've been in the Hospitality Business for 20 years, and I turn 36 next month, I've worked at golf resorts, hotels, restaurants you name it I've done it and you don't need a specified hotel/motel degree, I'm a manager now at a restaurant and it isn't that great, I've bartended food and beverage manager, it's knowing the right people, making friends and connection, and working hard, being diligent at whatever you do, and given time, the right people will notice and by the way honesty works real well, my connections will soon make me a lot of money. Last thing, get your degree and learn all you can about money, the rule of 72, compounding interest, everything.  I was a microbiology major and later became a financial analyst and that taught me what I needed to know.\n\nPlease respond if you have further questions, always happy to help someone!

Hotels are going up everywhere and there are so many different jobs that you can get in the hospitality field.  The main thing to think about when considering hotel management is to start getting experience in many entry level positions so that you have a working knowledge of many departments within the hotel industry.  For example, you might consider working at the front desk for a little while, housekeeping for a little while, accounting, night auditor position, and then eventually qualify for a front desk supervisor, assistant general manager, and then up to a hotel manager.  But, you might consider getting experience in order to be in the upper levels of management that provide a decent standard of living.  It depends on where you may want to live as well.  If you are someone who does not mind travelling and is willing to relocate virtually anywhere, then hotel/hospitality is the industry for you.  There is always something fun, new and happening in hospitality.  It also depends upon what kind of hotel you may be looking to manage.  There are budget hotels like Microtel, Fairfield Inn, etc. that have a limited number of positions-housekeeping, front desk, manager, etc., but when you get into the full service hotels such as Hilton, Marriott, etc., you will also have a restaurant which provides many more positions.  In order to be a manager of a hotel, you will need to have some experience in these areas.  Another thing to keep in mind is that a hotel operates 24/7.  It never closes...and you have to consider that when planning for holidays, etc.  It's not a 9-5 job...you pretty much have to make yourself available 24/7 in case there is an emergency.  I'm not discouraging you from trying hotel management, I'm simply trying to help you understand some of the realities that I have encountered during my hospitality employment.

yes and no,  hotel staff with proper reason, maintaince or house keeping may enter a room. If they see something in plain sight and report it, police can enter ( they will normally get a warrant but in some states they can enter with the motel permission

The hotels  have as much right as about any other business.\nThey do have some extra liabilities.\n But these are VERY state specific.\nFor example Hotels might be responsible for well being of their occupants, and even to some degree for property of occupants.

Seems to me hotel customers might often also be rental car customers.....so your hotel degree might easily be applied to a car rental business.  After all, good business is all about the customer....I recommend a good, growing car rental company as a complimentary career with your hotel degree.\n\nSuccess to you...

Well, what kind of job in the hotel do you want?  There's so many options, from human resource manager to general manager to restaurant worker to maid to spa person- tons of things.  If you are young and just want a job, some good jobs for boys are set up- like if you're strong.  Room service is fun because you get lots of tips and talk to tons of people and see some very interesting things in the rooms.  A hotel is a great place to work because there's such a variety of jobs and so many employees you probably won't meet everyone.  They are so interesting, cops get called, all the time there usually is stuff going on, they are the funnest place to work usually, and if you get bored, you can wander the halls, play in the game rooms, you usually get discounts on rooms and the pool is free to you- just like I said, if you just want to work there and don't really care doing what, apply (it is a normal application like everywhere else, and when it says position, write 'open', and in the interview they'll tell you what they have open and you can choose).  Just know though that if you have family or friends staying there, you can't usually go to their rooms or parties and drink. But anyways, it's tons of fun cause if you don't like your department, you can always change to another..

Well, I went to school for Hospitality Management for Hotel and Lodging. There are alot of benefit in this career but it takes alot of hard work to get to where you want to go. Basically, you have to be available 24/7. However, you get great benefits, medical, dental, hotel *it all varies by the company* I hope this info will help you out. Check this site.

First: a hotel\nSecond: a license to operate as a hotel in the state you wish to provide services in.\nThird: Extra cash to pay bills, employees, etc.\nFourth: Employees\nFifth (and this is the hard part): customers\n\nYou should probably also have a business plan, financial advisor or accountant, a degree in hospitality from a university, and a mentor or two (potentially your investors) who know how to run a hotel.  It might not be a bad idea to start off as a hotel employee, learn the ropes, move your way up and then set out on your own.\n\nPS: Don't forget to vote for best answer.  It doesn't look like a lot of folks are interested in giving you much help in this catagory.

A hotel has more than one story. A motel is only one story high.

Do you mean regionally? Country wide? City? A specific hotel? A chain of hotels? It depends on the property you talk about?\nLet's use a Holiday Inn (worked in one) There is a department for housekeeping, restaurant, front office, maintenance, and of course managers for those departments, sales, catering, and the above all manager, the General Manager.\nOf course, there are hotels that don't have all those departments. If it's a chain, then you also have the regional manager, CEO and so forth.\nI worked for a really fancy hotel for some years, best suite going for $700 a night (and yes people did get it) and we did not have half of those departments. It changes from hotel to hotel. Really, but the immediate top manager at just about any hotel is the GM (general manager)

If you are alone, in-room dining usually is more profitable (compared to dining at the restaurant of the same hotel ). You know exactly, what you want to order, ( you know the prices - spend decent time to research on costs ), and then order. If you are alone and go to the hotel restaurant, you typically end up ordering for more than what you can eat, and end up paying more.

To the guest:  You know upfront how much the room and food will cost.  You don't have to worry about saving enough money one day to enjoy a night out in the restaurant the next.  Plus they usually have a lot of included activities, although excursions and special services, e.g. massages, are extra.\n\nTo the hotel: A more predictible cash flow, since both the room and food are booked in advance.  Plus, you are a captive audience; this is more literally true on cruise ships but still it is often not easy to go "off resort" to book excursions, whereas they make it real easy to do it through them.\n\nFor the staff:  A wealthier clientele (people who book all-inclusive vacations tend to have more disposable income if I'm not mistaken.)  On cruise ships there is also the chance to develop a more personal relationship, i.e. your room steward is your room steward for the week, your waiter is your waiter for the week, etc.

Some hotels have "data ports" on the sides of the phones in the rooms to plug into to DIALUP internet (local charges may apply). Other hotels may have in-room Ethernet jacks to plug into high-speed internet, but most charge a service fee. The best idea would be to call the hotel that you have you reservations at and consult thier customer services.
