A single person living alone in their apartment may come home after a tough day at work and sigh, “Ah, home sweet home!” If they love their apartment they might also say: “There’s no place like home.”

There’s no place like home is a famous line repeated over and over by the character of Dorothy in the classic American movie “The Wizard of Oz.”

She learns that she did not need to leave her home in order to find what she was seeking. Dorothy’s adventures ended right back in Kansas, where she was from.

But what about those people who must stay away from their homes for a long time? They still want to feel connected to a place they can depend on.

Hotels know this about travelers. Many advertise that they will be a home away from home. This expression describes a place where everything is familiar and comfortable.

Friends can also give you a home away from home. When you visit them, they may say to you: “Make yourself at home!”

This common expression means someone wants you to feel relaxed and welcome.

3. Do hotels feel like a "home away from home" to you?

 Because I used to be not comfortable while I was staying at Hotel.

-Summary-

People who are living alone in an apartment desire to feel comfort like “Sweet home” and “There is no place like home.” 

Even if a single person come back home when they are tough at work and sigh, they depend on their own house. 

In the other case, hotels advertise for travelers that the place is very familiar and comfortable.

This common expression means that people want to feel relaxed like home.
