I don't think tourism=chalet fits that distributed motel cabin model.

I'd expect a motel to be set up to handle very short duration (one or two
day) at very short notice (turn up and ask for a room) and to offer
meals unless there are diners/restaurants nearby.  Groups of
holiday cottages are generally longer duration (minimum one week
except by special arrangement) and generally longer notice
(usually months, although there may be last-minute deals
if they have a cancellation).  Holiday cottages are self-catering.
You can go to a restaurant or diner but you have fairly
comprehensive cooking facilities (more than just a microwave).

I know that there are blurry edges to everything, but I can't
fit a group of holiday cottages into my mental model of a hotel.
Take a look at https://www.canllefaes.com/ and note the
requirement that occupancy start/end on a Saturday,
that the cottages have kitchens, etc., and tell me if
that fits into your model of a motel with distributed
cabins.
