About this book

Taking their name from an amalgamation of the words motor and hotel motels were conceived in the 1920s as roadside lodges for motorists who increasingly set out on vacations by car. As such the motels development has largely paralleled that of the automobile. Michael Karl Witzel examines the evolution architecture and decor of the motel in all its forms.
