The word motel was coined in California in 1925, as a portmanteau contraction of "motor hotel". 
A motel is a hotel designed for motorists and usually has a parking area for motor vehicles. 
Cadillac Blue Car Icon 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.
