room assignment
Where you're staying
A room assignment is the allocation of a person or group to a particular room, typically in institutional contexts like hotels, dormitories, hospitals, or conferences.
The term implies an authority making the decision: I got my room assignment for freshman year.
In hotels, guests receive room assignments at check-in; in schools, housing offices distribute them before the semester begins.
