Where you choose to stay can make or break your vacation experience. But even the most experienced travelers may not know the difference between the two main types —hotels and motels.    36   The answer isn't as simple as you'd think.
These two types of lodging(住宿)have the same basic purpose—a place for travelers to sleep.______37______ For instance, they came to be for different reasons, and at very different times.
The word “hotel” dates back to the 1600s and comes from a French word, hôtel. That word, just like the English one, referred to a place that provides lodging, meals, entertainment, and other services to travelers.    38   This word dates back to the 1920s and combines the words “hotel” and “motor.” As America's major highway system developed, so did motels, filling the need for roadside stops for motorists traveling cross-country.
   39    Hotels tend to be built for longer stays, while motels are intended more for one-or two-night stops along a journey. Because of this, hotels are much more likely to have offerings like lounges(休息室), gyms, and entertainment.
   40    Want the place you stay to be just as much a part of your travel experience as anything else? Choose a hotel, Just need a place to pop in and out of to shower and sleep? A motel might be the better choice.
  • There are many secrets that hotels won't tell you.

E. Besides their first letters, is there any real difference between them?
F. So, in the end, it comes down to what you want from your trip and from your lodging.
G. There are also other differences that can help you figure out which type of place you're in.
