Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: هتل بین راهی
Greetings,

Please, what is the exact equivalent of "هتل بین راهی" (hotel-e beyn-e raahi)?

They seem to be situated outside large cities.

Is بین راهی only used here, or does it have other uses?

Best wishes, and many thanks,

roadside hotel/motel
Explanation:
This is not necessarily "motel"...we have many roadside hotels that are not called motels. And we have motels that are not roadside...that is, not situated very close to a highway, which is usually what roadside means.
