I understand you can use in OR at when talking about a place. I can work in the hotel OR I can work at the hotel.
When speaking generally about a place of work which one would you use and WHY? I need the rule to explain to a student. Thanks in advance. |

Use AT with a place of work, studying or rest in general - at a restaurant, at school, at the beach/
Use IN when the object is in/inside the place ( not necessarily working there ) - in a restaurant, in the school, in the garden.
