New for the 2017 NEC:

210.12

New for the 2017 NEC:

I believe its when your AHJ adopted the 2005 NEC, without AFCI amendments.

2005 NEC
210.18 Guest Rooms and Guest Suites

Guest rooms and guest suites that are provided with permanent provisions for cooking shall have branch circuits and outlets installed to meet the rules for dwelling units.

2005 NEC Part I, 210.12(B) only required AFCI in bedrooms. Same for 210.18.

2005 NEC Article 100
Guest Room. An accommodation combining living, sleeping, sanitary, and storage facilities within a compartment.

Guest Suite. An accommodation with two or more contiguous rooms comprising a compartment, with or without doors between such rooms, that provides living, sleeping, sanitary, and storage facilities.

There is a difference between what you are quoting and what Infinity is quoting. Read carefully.

There is a difference

2017 210.12(C) requires AFCI for all outlets in Guest Rooms, not just the 210.18 bedroom.
