Beauty Rest Motel

Did you know that 1 our of every 2 U.S. motels are owned by an Indian-American? Around 70% of those Indian-owned motels are owned by Gujaratis who have roots in Gujarat, a western state of India. Out of these Gujaratis, 75% share the last name Patel!

At a hotel, the staff can easily include doormen, parking valets, the cleaning crew, chefs, bellhops, and more, all of them driving up costs. Motels, on the other hand, tend to keep staff to the service desk technician and cleaning crew, which helps keep your costs lower.

An advantage our motel has is that our staff can give you more personalized service, since we have fewer guests to attend to. This also means motels are generally more quiet to stay at than your standard hotel.

At the beginning of the 1900s, everyone traveled by train, which meant accommodations for stops were all along the rail routes and near the stations. When cars took over and offered more flexibility to travelers, it was only a matter of time before motels were invented.
