hostelry
Place for wayfarers
A hostelry is an inn or hotel—a place offering lodging to travelers.
The word is old-fashioned and literary, evoking roadside establishments from earlier centuries: We stopped at a rustic hostelry for the night.
Modern use tends toward the quaint or deliberately archaic.
