lodging houses
Rooms for rent
Lodging houses are establishments offering rooms for rent, typically by the night or week.
The term suggests modest accommodations—a step above a flophouse but below a hotel.
Historically, lodging houses served transient workers, travelers, and the urban poor: He spent his first months in the city at a lodging house on the Lower East Side.
The term is now somewhat dated, replaced by rooming houses, hostels, or residential hotels.
