Motel Monday: Colonial Times

co·lo·ni·al  (k-ln-l)

1. Of, relating to, possessing, or inhabiting a colony or colonies.

2. often Colonial

a. Of or relating to the 13 British colonies that became the original United States of America.

b. Of or relating to the colonial period in the United States.

3. often Colonial Of, relating to, or being a style of architecture and furniture prevalent in the American colonies just before and during the Revolution

These motels mainly center around the architectural meaning. While not flashy, these really scream "down home" and I bet that's what the moteliers were trying to convey.
