8.20.020.140 Hotel.

“Hotel” means “resort hotel” as defined in Section 8.04.010 of this code, except when the term is used in conjunction with a specific license which lists the number of rooms required. “Hotel,” if not a “resort hotel,” is distinguished from a motel in that a hotel contains not less than one hundred guest rooms in a single or connected structure, access to which is controlled through a foyer and hallways; rooms are let or hired out only to transient guests on a day-to-day basis and do not contain provisions for cooking in individual rooms or suites. A “motel” may be composed of more than one structure providing five or more sleeping rooms to transient guests which provide guest rooms with access doors opening to the outside. (Ord. L-232-05 § 30, 2005)
