The motel, or motor inn, is the latest kind of place in which people who are away from home can stay. The first motel opened, it is said, in 1901 in Arizona. It was called Askin’ s Cottage Camp. Later it was known as Askin’ s Auto Camp, and the motel is still in operation there.
    It is believed that the word was first used in 1925 by the Milestone Motel. When the owner was painting the name of the place on a sign and saw that he had not allowed enough room on the board to have "Milestone Motor Hotel", he changed it to "Milestone Motel".
    Front the early days when a ten-room court was considered large, motels have grown. Today there are many with hundreds of units. Moreover, motel owners provide more and more for the guests’ comfort and pleasure--such things as a choice of free radio or television, swimming pools, free parking and telephone service in every room.
