Do you know SRO buildings? I wish they would build more of those. I think so many people would be interested in that if it was profitable to the builders.

I don’t what are they?

It is a single room occupancy. It means it is just a room in a building that is rented out. Usually you share a bathroom and kitchen.

dormitory or hostel

Hostels are a bunch of beds in a room, right? SROs are similar to dorms, I guess.

or Bed and Breakfast type

Hostels lack the prestige of Motel 6.

Single room occupancy is fine if you are in college or early 20s.

Shared bathroom is a dealbreaker for me. I don't like sharing a bathroom with family lol

usually 4 beds in one room

Otherwise it resembles NHS ward in England
