Hotel industry runs on the essentials of proper management at its every stage. For everything to function in the right order a record needs to be maintained in an organized manner. As the hotel business expands, the task of data organization and maintenance becomes even more cumbersome. This is where Hotel Management System comes to rescue. They are computer software that takes control of the data corresponding to the various functioning aspects of a hotel.

The software is an integration of various modules, which cater to the different aspects of hotel management. For example hotel staff management, hotel reservation and hotel accounting are taken care of by the various modules in a single software entity. Many software companies have put together more areas of hotel management into their software. Hence, the software is referred to as Property Management Software(PMS) since many other features are clubbed within the basic hotel management chores.

Motel

A motel is a hotel designed for motorists, and usually has a parking area for motor vehicles. Entering dictionaries after World War II, the word motel, a portmanteau of motor and hotel or motorists' hotel, referred initially to a type of hotel consisting of a single building of connected rooms whose doors faced a parking lot and, in some circumstances, a common area; or a series of small cabins with common parking. As the United States highway system began to develop in the 1920s, long distance road journeys became more common and the need for inexpensive, easily accessible overnight accommodation sited close to the main routes, led to the growth of the motel concept.
Motels / hotels with low rates sometimes serve as housing for people who are not able to afford an apartment or have recently lost their home and need somewhere to stay until further arrangements are made. Motels catering to long-term stays often have kitchenettes. Basically motels are built for the travellers and comparing to other hotels it provide less facilities.
