Introduction

A hotel is rest place that provides paid lodging on a certain-term basis. The provision of basic accommodation consisting only of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a washstand has largely been replaced by rooms with new and improved facilities, including bathrooms and air conditioning . Others common features found in hotel rooms are a telephone, a clock, a television, a mini-bar with snack foods and drinks, and facilities for making tea and coffee. In Luxury features have bathrobes plus slippers, a pillow book, twin-sink , and bathtubs. Larger business hotels may provide extra guest facilities such as , swimming pool,childcare, fitness center,a restaurant, business center,  conference halls and social interaction function services. Hotel rooms are usually numbered ( named in smaller hotels and B & B 's) to allow guests to identify their room. hotels also offer meals as part of a room and board arrangement as guest status. In the United Kingdom, a hotel is required by law to serve food-drinks to all guests within short stated hours. In Japan, small hotels provide  narrow amount of room space and shared facilities.
