rooms
Quarters within buildings
Rooms is the plural of room—enclosed spaces within buildings.
Beyond physical spaces, rooms extends to capacity or opportunity: There's rooms for improvement.
In lodging contexts, rooms means accommodations: The hotel has rooms available.
To room is to share living quarters: We roomed together in college.
Someone who rooms with you is a roommate.
