How to use 旅馆
旅馆 is a common word for a hotel or inn, often a modest or mid-range one. It usually takes the measure word 家 (jiā). Example: 我们今晚住在一家小旅馆。(Wǒmen jīnwǎn zhù zài yì jiā xiǎo lǚguǎn.) We are staying at a small hotel tonight.
旅 (lǚ) means to travel, as in 旅行 (lǚxíng), and 馆 (guǎn) is a building for a purpose, as in 图书馆 (túshūguǎn). A travel building is a 旅馆, a place where travelers stay the night.
Common mistake: Learners often say lǔ instead of lǚ. Keep the lips rounded for ü, or you get a different syllable. Also do not confuse 馆 (guǎn) with 官 (guān, official). 馆 has the food radical 饣 on the left.
