If you are planning to stay in a foreign city for more than just a few days and nights, extended stay motels offer a number of obvious advantages. First and foremost, they help clients avoid crowded hotels and get some much needed peace and quiet. Not surprisingly, extended stay motels were extremely popular with travelling businessmen, since very often businessmen are not certain about the duration of a trip. These residences, which are more commonly called serviced apartments, also offer superior room rates for long stays. On average, a guest should expect to pay up to forty per cent less than at a hotel. But before you book a room sight unseen, it is always a good idea to go online and peruse a few extended stay motels along with some customer reviews. Since these residences are often home to international travellers for several weeks or months, the reviews will likely be far more comprehensive than those on a regular hotel review site. What should you look for? Just like a regular apartment, it is important to find out if the apartment includes all of the comforts and amenities that you will need to do your work and enjoy your stay. For example, the apartment should offer high-speed internet access, a fully equipped kitchen, and onsite laundry services. Reviews should also give you a good idea of how much you should expect to pay for an extended stay. Typically, these motels will offer lower rates the longer you stay. A stay of a month or more will allow you to save quite a bit of money over a hotel.
