No,  it's not optional, because it is part of the association's name.

Thanks, Nona.

I mean, aren't hotel and lodging about the same in meaning? If yes, are they redundant?

Fairmont Hotel and Motel 6 are in the same business which mainly is to provide a facility for travelers to spend a night or two. But the target customers are of different economic classes. A hotel and a lodge don't have the same level of amenity and comfort. So they are not the same and thus not redundant.

Thanks, Anon.

 

What are the differences between a hotel and a lodge in the context?

Hotels have bellhops to help you with your bags to your room whereas a lodge is self-serviced. When people decide to go with a lodge, they don't expect a lot in the ways of luxury and amenity but a clean bed and a hot shower should be provided. Anything comes on top of that is a bonus.

Hotels have full service restaurants, launges and room service among other serivces. A lodge has none of that; maybe a vending machine in the lobby or hallway that is if you are lucky.
