Motels, 1930s

(1)

Motels (or Motor Hotels) were designed with the traveler in mind, usually allowing for the patron to park their vehicle right outside of the door to their quarters. Rooms included large radios, phones with long cords that reached across the room. Apart from the amenities, the style of motel rooms has changed very little.
