Innkeeper (vendor)

Innkeepers run a variety of establishments as well as the traditional inn: roadhouses, flophouses, hostels, caravanseries and way stations, to name a few. They provide food, lodging, stabling, fodder for animals, laundering and personal services. Within a community, they act as gathering places and often include public houses that are either adjacent or part of the innkeeper's establishment. Services are provided by the innkeeper and spouse, their children, one or two servants, a stable-hand and a gong labourer.

The best lodging is to be found along avenues, wide roads where the best shops are located, which the wealthy frequent and which are best protected by the town guard. Side lanes connect to avenues and often feature privately funded street lamps and are dependent upon a town watch rather than the guard. Back lanes connect only to other lanes, have no light or watch and are appreciably squalid and slumlike.

Prices shown are for lodging located in and around the city of London, England. Other markets worldwide will have different prices, depending upon their access to transport and location of resources.
