transient hotel

A transient hotel primarily serves guests who are not permanent residents, meaning at least 75 percent of its clientele are temporary visitors. The term "transient" itself describes something that is temporary or passing quickly. In the context of hotels, a transient guest is someone who stays for a brief period. These hotels typically offer rooms with private baths, telephones, and televisions, along with services like laundry. Larger establishments may also include dining rooms, coffee shops, and lounges. This contrasts with residential hotels, which are more akin to apartment buildings offering maid service, or resort hotels, which cater to vacationers.123
