extended stay hotels

If you're planning to stay somewhere away from home for more than 3 days, might I suggest extended stay hotels? If you're unfamiliar with the concept, extended stay hotels are lodgings designed for the long-term stay that offer a refrigerator, kitchen, larger rooms, and a more homey array of amenities, like including pots and pans in the kitchen, or kitchenette. Many extended stay hotels also have 24-hour-a-day gyms and offer laundry service through the hotel. This last feature is one of the best aspects of extended stay hotels, in my opinion, because it allows travelers to pack lighter because they can reuse all of their clothes as soon as they're washed. Extended stay hotels also feature larger living quarters in several different configurations. For instance, some of them offer a range of room sizes and prices. The cheapest rooms are studios, which are your basic one-room lodging that includes a kitchen. Then there are the one-bedroom lodgings that have a separate bedroom to offer a more home-like feel, and the most expensive extended stay hotels offer you a two-room suite that has the biggest square footage, and a larger, sometimes full kitchen with stove, microwave, dishwasher and the like. This last feature is very convenient and economical because it allows travelers to cook more meals at "home" instead of always eating out at restaurants.
