Many airports now have rooms-by-the-hour


In early '900 many cities in Italy had one or more "albergo diurno"
(lit. "day hotel"), near stations or in central locations, which
provided rest rooms, toilets, showers, barber shops etc. Later they
remained with just toilets and barber, then disappeared.
