What is another word for run-down boarding house?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈʌndˌa͡ʊn bˈɔːdɪŋ hˈa͡ʊs] (IPA) 
A run-down boarding house could also be referred to as a dilapidated inn, shabby guesthouse, deteriorating lodge, or decrepit hostel. These synonyms allude to the poor condition of the establishment and lack of upkeep. Other terms that could be used to describe a run-down boarding house are seedy accommodation, grubby lodging, simple hostel, or a nondescript bed-and-breakfast. It is important to note that while these words all convey the same idea, the connotations and nuances associated with each differ. For instance, "seedy accommodation" might suggest a place with a reputation for less-than-reputable clientele. In contrast, "nondescript bed and breakfast" might describe a place that is simply unremarkable or forgettable.
