Holiday accommodation or lodging is offered at select places in Merlin. This is basically a place to stay while on a non-permanent visit here. The accommodation offers shelter, a place to sleep and store luggage, as well as access to standard amenities. They may or may not offer catering. Some places are self-catered, which means they do not provide food but have cooking facilities. The kind of accommodation one desires in Merlin is based on the length of stay, budget and the location of the lodging.
Generally, accommodation options include a hotel, hostel or hostal, a private home (commercial, i.e. a bed and breakfast, a guest house, a vacation rental, or non-commercially, with members of hospitality services or in the home of friends), in a tent, caravan/camper (often on a campsite). This is usually used by tourists while visiting places, as well as people on business. This sector is a part of the tourism and hospitality industry. One must book early during vacation season, especially if one is visiting popular tourist destinations such as Los Angeles, New York, Washington, Florida, Las Vegas, San Fransisco, California, and Hawaii. The charges for this service depend on location as well as the amenities offered; five star accommodation with extensive services are typically expensive.
