Hospitality Properties

Buildings in this category specialise in providing personal and entertainment services. You build these properties with the intention of letting most of the rooms and apartments out for a profit. You may, however, reserve one standard room or apartment for your personal use.

Bars & Food Shops	Every town and city (but not villages) has its Bars and Food shops. Perhaps even as many as two or three per district. Most low cost accommodation (except in villages and hamlets) is cramped and doesn’t have a kitchen – the working classes have to get out, and eat, somewhere. The bars sell cheap booze, while the food shops, mainly, sell basic food(*) that people can take away with them. They aren’t listed in the Hospitality purchases list - because they don’t make enough profit to be significant.
Taverns & Eating Houses	There isn’t really a lot of difference between these two. Both sell basic food (to eat in) and sell locally brewed ales and wines. Eating houses are more geared towards customers who come in eat, and then leave. Taverns are more interested in drinkers who stay all evening but want a meal while they are on the premises. Taverns will often let customers sleep on the floor of the common room for a few coppers per night – eating at houses don’t.
Restaurant	Most restaurants have a menu that includes both common and good meals. There is also a better selection of ales, wines and spirits – and no sleeping on the floor.
Roadhouse / Small Inn	Basically, a tavern with three or four small rooms attached. These are often just a 10×10 room with two sets of bunk beds and can sleep four people. Normally built to support travellers, they are found along trade roads and in merchant or dock districts of town and cities. You can take a single bed, or the whole room - and if you are down on your luck, you may well be allowed to sleep on the common room floor.
Inn	An inn follows traditional lines. Restaurant quality food and drink with a number of rooms attached. They range from the four-bunk mini-dorms of the roadhouse, through even smaller single rooms and small doubles. Some inns might have as many as dozen rooms available.
Hotel	Hotels are much like Inns, and have similar bar and restaurant facilities. However, they might have thirty or forty rooms, and that generally includes a small suite or two.
Grand Hotel	Grand hotels aren’t all that much bigger than ordinary hotels, but they are more expensive. The restaurant only serves good, and banquet quality food. They have a wide selection of drinks, and the rooms are bigger and better appointed. Most have a couple of large suites for their wealthiest guests. Service is to a high quality, and covers most things that guests ask for.

(*) Basic food consists of simple dishes such as bread, baked potatoes, baked onions – and stew - normally offered as Meat, Fish or Vegetable. For a one silver you might get a chunk of bread with a baked onion or baked potato. For three silvers you can get a chunk of bread and a bowl of stew.
