That looks like a Magnavox "Guest Matic" motel set from the early '80's. Probably uses the NAP designed 19C3 or the GTE designed E32 chassis. In the late '70's/early '80's, there were some GTE-Sylvania "Guest Matic" motel sets. NAP bought the Sylvania and Philco consumer electronics brands from GTE in '81 and, for a while, some Magnavox branded sets contained a Sylvania designed E3x or E5x series chassis.
If this set is still in a motel, I'm surprised to see a rotary tuned set still in motel use. The only exception might be in some low end "rent by the hour" motels. The last knob tuned sets that I saw in a motel was back in '97 when the local motel 6 was replacing them with remote controlled Magnavox sets. The old knob tuned sets were General Electric "PC" chassis TV's and I bought 20 of them for $5/each. I managed to fix 19 of them and I sold them for $50-$75/each.
