Cultural Tip
In most Spanish‑speaking countries, "cuarto" is the everyday word for a hotel or dorm room, while "habitación" sounds a bit more formal. Remember that the article must match the gender of the noun: "el cuarto 305" but "la habitación 305". When you give a room number, keep the article (el/la) before the numeral, even though the number itself is gender‑neutral.
