343 Motel

These buildings are three stories or less, and consist mainly of sleeping units without kitchens. Motels also include offices, lobby, and some coffee shop or restaurant and meeting rooms commensurate with the size and the quality of the facility. For Class A or B structures, use one of the Hotel occupancies, 594 (Hotel, Full Service) or 595 (Hotel, Limited Service).
