English term or phrase: Motel
AB Motel is a BUDGET 'No Frills' Motel and I got fantastic value for cheap rate. Got a clean, simple room with 2 huge beds, nice shower (no toilet paper coz they provide spray to wash!). We were 5 seconds from the beach, 2 minutes walk to Cenang beach's trendy eateries (including my fav Red Tomato Cafe) and shops.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The word فندق صغير could probably be an explanation to the term but can we seriously use it every time we come across it in the context?
