Seeing an inn signifies the worldly dwelling, since travelers lodge there, and may also signify the departure of grief. For a sick person, seeing an inn where travelers stay signifies death. The source extends the same symbolism to a hotel: one's body, name, honor, or home; an unknown hotel signifies travel, and moving from one hotel to another signifies migration. It also gives several other readings for an inn or hotel, including a prostitute, loss, safety, embarking on an affair with a bad outcome, rest after fatigue, and decline in rank.
