Editor's Notes
- In a Hotel building various vertical and horizontal circulation can be identified, but in case of motels, two key circulation spaces exist; Corridors, and Stairs which is due to its economical construction and maintance
- The lobby lounge should serve as an informal gathering place which allows guests to relax or work outside of their guest room. The lounge should be located near the front desk as well as the main entrance. The area should include private seating groups to allow for private conversations
- The front office is very tightly planned and organized to minimize unused space. Individual rooms are avoided in favor of an open office plan.
- This diagram presents the various size ranges and seating capacity for the office administration. In a space of 80 sq. ft, equipped with all the necessary devices, 3 staff members and operate
- Ballrooms are used for large events such as banquets, conventions and wedding receptions. Ballrooms can range in size from 4,000 sq. ft. to over 30,000 sq. ft. The benefit of these large spaces is the flexibility of subdividable space
- The kitchen layouts shown are examples of efficiently laid out plans of kitchens serving their respective restaurant and banquet areas. Considerations should be taken when deciding the overall size of the kitchen with respect to the restaurant function. Layout (a) has an area of 1000 sq. feet followed by Layout (b) having an area of 1500 sq feet and Layout (c) at Smaller kitchens may only handle one meal a day while larger kitchens may handle all three with multiple turnovers.

Layout (a) has an area of 1000 sq. feet followed by Layout (b) having an area of 1500 sq. feet and Layout (c) at 2000 sq. feet Smaller kitchens may only handle one meal a day while larger kitchens may handle all three with multiple turnovers.
- This is a suggested zoning diagram. Kitchens are attached to the restaurant but should also be located as close as possible to the banquet areas. Large banquet areas should have a smaller kitchen directly linked to itself.
- The R1, or Budget Room, is a room that would be considered slightly below baseline. It has the most basic of amenities. Layout (a) includes only a bed, a dresser, a TV and an added arm chair. Whereas layout (b) would include an additional writing desk. The bathroom in R1 room type consists of just three fixtures; tub-shower, sink and toilet.
- The R2, or Standard Room, is a room that would be considered a baseline room in most motels. This room includes basic amenity packages that would be sufficient for a comfortable short stay. This type of rooms provide similar amenities as budget rooms but have larger square footage area of 125 to 180 sq ft per occupant.
- The R3, or Pleasant Room, is slightly above average in terms of square footage per occupant, ranging from 180 to 220 sq ft. This room contains the same basic furniture units the difference being that these items can be spread out over a larger floor area resulting in a spacious room. If climate permits, a balcony of up to 30 square feet per person may exist. A R3 bathroom, will have a bit more space to comfortably walk between fixtures. Additionally, there will be a separate shower stall so that two people can bathe simultaneously.
- The R4, or Suite, has a large enough square footage per occupant. Typically an R4 will separate the living area from the bed area to allow separate activity to occur in these rooms. An R4 will have a distinctively better Bed/Living space and, includes a designated kitchenette or pantry. The R4 also can include a balcony area averaging 60 sq ft per person
