Answer 1

Your "model" should actually be a controller, which is the type of class that serves content to the frontend or adminhtml areas. Models are for dealing with data.

Try this for your controller:

# File: app/code/local/Quinchy/Demo/controllers/HotelController.php
<?php

class Quinchy_Demo_HotelController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        echo "Hello Quinchy";
        exit;
    }
}

BTW, you'd access this via /magento/quinchy/hotel/index

Answer 2

Your controller should be in the 'app/local/Quinchy/Demo/controllers/IndexController.php' file. And the class name should be 'Quinchy_Demo_IndexController' ( class Quinchy_Demo_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action ).

Your extension should look like this: app/etc/modules/Quinchy_Demo.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Quinchy_Demo>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Quinchy_Demo>
    </modules>
</config>

app/code/local/Quinchy/Demo/etc/config.xml :

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<config>
    <modules>
        <Quinchy_Demo>
            <version>0.1.0</version>
        </Quinchy_Demo>
    </modules>
    <frontend>
        <routers>
            <quinchy>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Quinchy_Demo</module>
                    <frontName>quinchy</frontName>
                </args>
            </quinchy>
        </routers>
    </frontend>
</config>

app/code/local/Quinchy/Demo/controllers/IndexController.php :

<?php
class Quinchy_Demo_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        echo "Hello Quinchy";
    }
}
