Passive voice of "Stay"

What would be the passive voice of "passengers stay in a hotel".

The whole sentence would be "passengers can be forwarded to their destination in a new flight, or (be kept) in a hotel". "Kept" is not a word I want to use for humans :)


You can only form a passive out of a transitive verb. To stay when used transitively does not mean the same thing as used intransitively.

The word you might be looking for is lodged. People can be lodged in or at a hotel.


Besides tchrist's suggestion of lodged, you could also say

Passengers can be sent to their destination on a different flight or be housed at a hotel.

(In this instance, house has the definition of: to give shelter to; harbor; lodge

Or you could say:

Passengers can be sent to their destination on a different flight or be put up in a hotel.

Or you could say:

Passengers can be sent to their destination on a different flight or can be provided with a hotel room.


The term checked-in to a hotel is often used, especially when the airline or agency is making the arrangements.
