Small Family Hotels: Hotels are generally grouped in four main categories: commercial or transient hotels; resort hotels; residential hotels; and motels, or motor hotels. In the United States about 75% of the hotel rooms (excluding motels) are in commercial hotels, 16% in resort hotels (both summer and winter seasons), and the remaining 9% in residential hotels. About 80% of the American motel rooms are in commercial establishments and the remainder in resort motels.
The Old Beach and New Beach,both being hotels of top quality at Monte Carlo's small but elegant strand, are summer members of the luxury family. All of the above except the Metropole are under a single management. The Monte Carlo Palace is the most widely known hostelry, partly because of its superlative cuisine and its well-stocked wine cellar.
My children attended schools there and it was cheap at that time, dirt cheap, which explains why we could stay there. We saved a lot of money as against living at home. We could secure two double rooms, enough to shelter the four of us, for two dollars a day in small family hotels. We could secure good nourishing meals for twenty-five cents apiece. Metro fares were one cent. So I and my budget were spoiled.
