extended stay hotels Extended stay hotels serve a broad market among travelers, long and short term. Extended stay hotels typically offer living suites, kitchen areas, and separate bedrooms, so they attract people who want to do some of their own cooking while away from home and have a little more leg room than a standard hotel room. They also appeal to retirees who like to go to warmer places in the winter without having to rent an apartment for three to six months, or buy a permanent home in a location they will visit for just a few months every year. These retirees enjoy the room service and on site amenities that extended stay hotels usually offer, like DVD and book libraries.

When I was traveling a lot for business, I would always choose extended stay hotels over the typical hotel because I liked to cook my own meals, which helped me keep my weight in check. My favorite was in Troy, Michigan, where my room even had a gas fireplace which I enjoyed a great deal, while I worked at night. If you have a long trip coming up, check into extended stay hotels which may enhance your time away from home.
