If you have to be at a hotel for an extended period of time, you need to find accommodation that is comfortable and pocket friendly. Usually people need to stay at a hotel for long periods on extended vacations, when they are moving or remodeling their homes or even due to employment demands. In such cases, extended stay hotels become the best option for various reasons:
- Most of them usually offer kitchenettes. With these, you are able to save on your food budget because you don't have to eat every meal out. Simply purchase supplies form a grocery store like you would at home and cook your meals. This in itself reduces your overall budget as well making it very cost effective.
- They are cheaper. You will find that these hotels usually have lower rates for people who will be staying for a longer period of time. In fact, the amount paid is not very much over what one would pay should they decide to rent a home for more than a year.
- They are comfortable. Most extended stay rooms or cottages are made to feel homely. They will have a living area, the bedrooms and the kitchenette. You can be sure that even though it is not your usual aboard, the feel will be more homely than that of a regular hotel room.
- Close to local amenities. Unless you have chosen to vacation away from everyone in an isolated place, they are strategically located close to local amenities. Not only can you get to and from your work place if you are there due to work reasons, but you will likely have a grocery store nearby, a pizzeria so you can order in if needed, some entertainment nearby and even a taxi service.
- Great Services. You can be sure that there will be a front desk usually manned around the clock in case you need something. You will also have the benefit of a maid service that will come in to clean for you when you are out. Linens are changed on a regular basis as well. Some may avail you garage space for your car while others offer breakfast as part of the deal and then you get to cook your other meals.
- Fully Furnished. You can expect that extended stay rooms will be fully furnished including utensils, furniture, a bed and everything else that you will need. Some even come with a shelf loaded with books for you to enjoy. There's also cable TV available for your enjoyment.
Next time you are traveling to one area for a long period of time, make this a consideration.
