If the people in the place in question don't live there but are merely de visita, or guests (huespedes), as in a hotel the better word for them would be occupant (occupante).  |
Hi Vicente,
ocupante could not be used in Spanish (over here at least) as the okupas, normally spelled with a k, are people who occupy a house or building illegally!
I thought, a resident could be somebody living permanently in a place, an inhabitant not necessarily so permanently. Thanks for your input, Vicente, as I can see they are quite interchangeable.
I support mem's translation.
