Inn

"In fact, I highly recommend [the inn], particularly if you find your HP (Heart Points) running low. Just drop on INN! Ho ho!"

- Toadsworth

An Inn is a place where Mario and his Partners, for a small fee, can go to sleep so they heal their HP, FP, and, in the Paper Mario series, SP. The price varies by location; inns later in the game generally have higher prices. They appear in most of the Mario RPGs and games with similar elements.

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the inns at Marrymore and Nimbus Land offered extra services (usually a rare item or chance of getting one) in exchange for an additional fee.

Similarly, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Super Paper Mario feature several inns which throw in an item as a bonus.

Paper Mario's Toad Houses served the same function, with the main difference being that they were free of charge, and in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the player could stay for free if Mario had an Inn Coupon in his possession.
