hospitality
Lodging facilities with rooms for short stays, usually offered on a day-to-day basis.
Hospitality usages are places that behave more or less like hotels, with rooms available for short-term stays, usually on a day-to-day basis.
Guests use the rooms for temporary stays. A place where occupants establish an extended residence can have a different lodging or residential usage even when it offers hotel-like services.
Access can be open to paying travelers or restricted to an invited group. A guest house retains its hospitality function when admission depends on an invitation or particular purpose.
