Word origin
旅 (lǚ, "travel") + 店 (diàn, "shop or business") forms a name for a business that receives travelers as temporary guests.
Usage tips
- When discussing a reservation, 晚 (wǎn, "night") measures the stay, so 住两晚 (zhù liǎng wǎn, "stay two nights") describes its duration rather than the place.
