noun

"Waiting room" is a place where people can spend time waiting, typically before a scheduled event or appointment, such as in a medical facility or public transportation station, airport, hotel, or other similar locations. The waiting room provides seating, tables, reading materials, television, refreshments, and other amenities for individuals to occupy themselves during the wait, which may range from a few minutes to several hours. Additionally, waiting rooms may have bulletin boards or screens to inform individuals of the progress of exams or procedures.

Example

1. My flight was delayed, so I spent two hours in the airport waiting room.
2. The doctor's waiting room was full, and I had to wait for an hour before I was called in for my appointment.
3. The hotel's waiting room was comfortable and had a great view of the city, so I didn't mind waiting for my room to be ready.
