Cultural Tip
In Italy, *stanza* is the generic word for any room, while *camera* is preferred for hotel rooms. When giving a room number, Italians usually say the full number (e.g., *trecento quindici*) rather than “three‑one‑five”. Also, pointing with your hand while saying the number is common to avoid confusion.
