KTDC or Kerala Tourism Development Corporation has created a brand; “Aaram” meaning ‘comfort’ for the Motels that are strategically developed on the principle national and state highways for the benefit of road travelers.

The Aaram Motels dot the major road routes and are equipped with a big sized restaurant that caters to various cuisines, clean toilets, rooms and dormitories for overnight stay and some even have a centre to get basic medical aid. Some Aaram Motels also have a beer parlour that serves beer and some alcoholic drinks. The restaurant serves breakfast as well as lunch and dinner and an array of snacks to satisfy both the local and the foreign traveler.

These facilities are provided in the day between 7AM and 10PM. The large restaurant can also be booked for parties and private functions. The best amenities found in all Aaram Motels are the clean toilets that all travelers look for.

Another brand of Motels called Vazhiroram was started in 2007 but did not gain the popularity of Aaram Motels.
