As the cold weather sets in and you set off on your winter getaway, the last thing you want to do is scrimp on home comforts. Motels offer the warmth and cosiness of home along with self-contained options, making them a convenient and fun choice for winter travel.
Motels are typically self-contained, which is perfect for the independent traveller. You don't have to leave your room for meals, as you usually have kitchen facilities - perfect for those chilly nights when venturing out for dinner doesn't appeal.
Motels also offer privacy without the communal hallways, lifts, and lobbies of large hotels. Great for coming back to after a day skiing or snowboarding; most motels near ski fields have drying rooms and easy drive-up, park-up accommodation to avoid the hassle of carting wet, snowy gear through the corridors.
Spa, sauna and heated-pool facilities are a common feature of motels, and are a must-have for travelling in winter. Imagine relaxing in a hot spa pool after a day out in the winter weather- pure bliss. You might even have a spa bath in or just outside your motel room - even better!
