A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging on a short-term basis. The provision of basic accommodation, in times past, consisting only of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a washstand has largely been replaced by rooms with modern facilities, including en-suite bathrooms and air conditioning or climate control. Additional common features found in hotel rooms are a telephone, an alarm clock, a television, and Internet connectivity; snack foods and drinks may be supplied in a mini-bar, and facilities for making hot drinks. Larger hotels may provide a number of additional guest facilities such as a restaurant, a swimming pool or childcare, and have conference and social function services. Hotels rooms are usually numbered to allow guests identify their room.

Some hotels offer meals as part of a room and board arrangement. In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food and drinks to all guests within certain stated hours; to avoid this requirement it is not uncommon to come across private hotels which are not subject to this requirement. In Japan, capsule hotels provide a minimized amount of room space and shared facilities.

In the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and Ireland (and rarely in some parts of the United States), the word may also refer to a pub or bar and might not offer accommodation. In India and Bangladesh, the word may also refer to a restaurant.

How do you find a hotel that will accomondate 7 people?
Q. Me and my husband are taking the kids on vacation and we are looking for a hotel that will let us bring our 5 children along with us as a family vacation. So far none of the hotels allow that many kids. Does anyone know of any hotels that are kid friendly? We are from Texas and planning a trip to the Houston Galveston area,

A. I think that the hotels that you are looking at don't want 7 people all in one room. Try requesting two rooms side by side with an inside door connecting the two so you can divide the number of occupants in each room. That is probably the only way they will let all of you guys stay.

Is the hotel Contessa a good place to stay in san antonio on the river walk?
Q. I am planning to visit in march and would like to stay at a nice hotel on the riverwalk.
Asked by BoBos - Wed Jan 9 18:53:24 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I have walked past it and even dined within awhile back. It is quite beautiful. It's right on the river near Market Street. I have played tourist in my city, but quite honestly, if I am going to spend that kind of money to stay at a hotel, I go out of town. So, since you are visiting...have a blast. It has wonderful reviews. Look at the Hotel Valencia as well. It is beautiful. One of my college students works there and tells me he has many return clients. ***New news: I went to Mexican Manhattan yesterday, a really nice outdoor patio restaurant upstairs across from the Holiday Inn. So after that adventure, we checked out the Drury Inn across the street. Very very nice old bank and now a luxury hotel, but short on a few amenities, [cont.]
