Countryside Motel

When you are going on a road trip, you don’t always have time to plan for stops, and sometimes it is difficult to choose where to stay for the night. Be sure to pick a warm, welcoming, and trustworthy motel!

The original motel in San Luis Obispo had several furnished private apartments, each with its own parking spot, indoor bathrooms, and showers. At the time, many motorists had to use camps during overnight stopovers, which were much less comfortable.

Just about every motel room in the country has a working phone, and you may have noticed that a lot of those phones may look very similar. That is thanks to the Teledex Corporation, who introduced phones specifically made for hotel and motel rooms in 1986.

Know why the snooze alarm on clocks is set for nine minutes? It is because, when this feature was first added, it had to coordinate with existing gears, meaning at least nine-minute intervals or those longer than ten. Studies showed that snoozing for more than ten minutes made people groggy, so nine minutes became the standard. If this is more than you wanted to know, you can use our wake-up call service.

Wondering what the difference between a motel and a hotel is? It has everything to do with access to your car. At a motel, customers will always have plenty of space to park, and will have direct access to the parking area from their room.
