Building with rooms

A hotel is a commercial establishment that provides lodging for travelers, typically offering private rooms with beds, bathrooms, and various amenities.

Hotels range from budget accommodations to luxury resorts and are distinguished from motels by their interior hallways and fuller services.

We booked a hotel near the airport for our layover.
