Brief description:
Ancient inn period:
Many people have seen Longmen Inn, right? Then, you should know that the composition and structure of the inn are very simple. Of course, compared with modern hotels, it was already very good at that time. Due to the needs of society at that time, inns and hotels appeared thousands of years ago in order to meet people's basic survival problems such as eating, drinking and sleeping. By the late Middle Ages, with the development of commerce, the rise of travel and trade, the number of missionaries, believers, diplomats, believers and businessmen who went out surged, increasing the demand for inns. Because the means of transportation at that time were mainly walking, horseback riding or taking a mail car, most of the inns were located near ancient roads, chariots and horses or post stations. Actually, it's equivalent to a motel now. Early English inns were places where people met, exchanged information and settled down. The earliest inns had simple facilities and only provided basic accommodation. They are just a big house with several rooms, and each room has some beds. Passengers often sleep together and have no more requirements. Of course, there is really no entertainment because of the few service items and poor service quality. In the15th century, some inns had 20 to 30 rooms, and some better inns had wine cellars, tea rooms and kitchens to provide drinks and food for guests. There are also some inns that begin to pay attention to their surroundings. There are gardens and lawns in front of and behind the house, and there are banquet halls and dance halls in the inn, which have begun to develop into multi-functions. Generally speaking, the inn at that time had a poor reputation and was considered as a low-level industry that made a living by living. Guests feel insecure in the inn, and robbery and other illegal things happen from time to time.

In the 1920s, the hotel industry developed rapidly. Large, medium and small cities in the United States raise funds to build modern hotels through various channels, and motels have also sprung up all over the United States. In the 1930s, due to the Great Depression, the tourism industry faced a crisis, and the hotel industry was inevitably in trouble. Almost all hotels opened during the boom period closed down, and the hotel industry suffered great setbacks.
During the period of commercial hotels, cars, trains and planes brought great convenience to transportation. Many hotels are located in the city center, and motels are located on the roadside.
