What is the biggest difference between a hotel and a motel?

By breakfast I mean anything from really small to really big.
And by motel I mean something that doesn't rent rooms by the hour. (motel 6 or super 8 motel for specimen)
We're visiting California this summer and have most of our lodging figured out, but for a few days we still need to find something.
Preferably not too expensive, hence my question :)
Are motels always cheaper and less well maintained than hotels?
Are motels poor places one should avoid?
The answers to your last two questions are no and no. You cannot generalize about prices, to a considerable extent of upkeep or cleanliness about motels and hotels. Some motels are very well maintained and clean while some hotels can be run down and sleazy.
You can generalize about the following though:
1. Most motels are older and not parts of a public chain. National chains (systems) do not name their lodging facilities "motels" any more simply, I garner, to avoid the misunderstanding such as raised in your questions.
2. Most motels are near a highway or a main road. However, this is to be taken with the sympathy that what used to be a highway may have been replaced by a newer highway and is now just a road through town.
Since you sound like you may be from another boondocks, I'd advise to make reservation with a national chain to assure a certain level of quality (Holiday Inn, La Quinta, Hilton, Sheraton, Marriott...). You can find logical rates through those chains as they have different levels of hotels but at least, you know in advance what you're going to get. Individually-owned hotels and motels can change so widely in quality you can never be sure.
