How to use 旅店
旅店 refers to a small, usually simple place to stay, like an inn or a guesthouse. It sounds a bit more modest and old-fashioned than 酒店 (jiǔdiàn) or 宾馆 (bīnguǎn). Example: 我们在山下找了一家小旅店。 (Wǒmen zài shān xià zhǎo le yì jiā xiǎo lǚdiàn.) We found a small inn at the foot of the mountain.
旅 (lǚ) is the travel character you know from 旅行 (lǚxíng), and 店 (diàn) is the shop or establishment character from 商店 (shāngdiàn). A 旅店 is simply a "travel shop": a place where travelers stop to stay the night.
Common mistake: Learners often write 旅 (lǚ) as 族 (zú, clan), since the two look alike. Also, lǚ uses ü, not u, so do not type or say it as lǔ.
