For one reason or another, you may find yourself living in a hotel for some time. For some, this is a permanent arrangement, as they are more comfortable in a temporary space, while others are there for only a month or two, while they find a house to purchase or while their home is being repaired, etc. The important thing is to find a place that works for you and is comfortable. You will also want it to provide some of the same amenities you would find at home such as a fully equipped kitchen, laundry service, linens and such.
The Neighborhood
The first thing to consider is where you’ll be living. Many live in hotels have a bad reputation for being in the wrong part of town. If you’re new to town, take a look around before committing to one place. Choose a hotel that is in a decent area, where you won’t be afraid to look out the window at night.
You will also want to be near local transport such as the subway, if you don’t have a vehicle. Proximity to supermarkets, a place to do laundry and other conveniences is also a good idea. Some hotels may even provide a laundry room on site.
Choosing the Room
Since you’ll be living in the one room or suite for a while, it’s a good idea to choose one that is comfortable, doesn’t have odd smells and which you feel comfortable in. Most people don’t need too much space, but it’s a good idea to have a dresser or closet to store your clothing. If you wish to cook, then look for a room that has a kitchenette where you can prepare your own meals, preferably with the basics, pots, pans, dishes, etc. already available. Some rooms will offer a table or desk where you can work, as well.
For anyone who is moving into a hotel with children, a suite with a separate room for the kids can be a huge blessing. You’ll be able to get them down at a decent hour and still enjoy some television or hanging out with your significant other or friends.
Pricing
Your best bet when it comes to renting a hotel is to look for a short term rental option. Hotels that offer this will give you a better deal for staying a week, a month, or longer. This is often a considerable discount on the nightly price, so it’s worth looking into. Also, hotels that offer these rates are comfortable with having longer term guests and probably already have some. You will be able to talk to other residents and get a feel for the place.
Many people find that short term rentals are ideal for those shorter stays. Whatever your reason for needing a place to stay for a month or two, you can also opt to rent a house or furnished apartment for such a short length of time.
