Halfway House (Term)

A rest stop, like a motel or caravansarai in half way between major destinations.  Such hostels often double as the local tavern and general meeting house for the scattered, rural populations. 
(Source:  Index card file.  House of Zeor)  The only safe place for Hugh and Klyd to spend the night on route to Iburan --- they reach it well after sundown.  A converted mansion apparently constructed around a pre-war frame.  Has a large central parlor, separate dining room, rooms upstairs with a common indoor bathroom.
Will serve Householders and Companion --- many customers stop by in hopes of seeing one of the perverted freaks.  Seven hour ride to Iburan.
