Top 5 Reasons To Choose Extended Stay Hotels vs. Apartments

Top 5 Reasons To Choose Extended Stay Hotels vs. Apartments

Choose an InTown Suites extended stay hotel as an apartment alternative when relocating to a new city, for business travel, or for any temporary housing need. Our comfortable, affordable apartment-like hotel suites provide studio amenities without the hassles of traditional apartments. Weighing the benefits of a hotel versus an apartment makes it clear an extended stay hotel provides an easier move-in, more practical room amenities, a convenient location, and flexible reservations at reasonable rates. Let’s dive into this list of reasons our guests choose InTown Suites extended stay hotels time and again:

  1. Moving is easier with extended stay hotels.
  2. Extended stay hotels offer amenities apartments don’t have.
  3. Extended stay hotels are conveniently located in town.
  4. Enjoy lease-free living in an extended-stay hotel.
  5. Apartments are typically more expensive than extended stay hotels.

Bonus – Renovated rooms and suite options!

1| Moving is easier with extended stay hotels.

When you’re seeking a new place to live, short- or long-term, you must consider many expenses, including moving your furniture (or buying new furniture) and set-up costs for utilities. All of these are eliminated when you book at an InTown Suites extended stay hotel versus an apartment.

Guests at InTown Suites won’t need to:

  • Buy or move furniture
  • Submit to a credit check
  • Set up or transfer utilities
  • Sign a lease agreement

Every suite at InTown Suites is furnished and includes an in-room kitchen. There is no need to worry about buying or moving a new bed, kitchen table and chairs, dresser, HDTV, or extra seating (like a sofa or recliner chair). InTown Suites provides these essentials to make living in your extended stay hotel comfortable, whether you’re with us for a week, a month, or longer.

Each in-room kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator, a two-burner stove top, a microwave, and plenty of cabinet space. We even offer fully renovated Premium Suites featuring refreshed kitchens with newer appliances, cabinets, and countertops, updated bedding, and extra storage. (See #6 at the end of our list for more details!)

When you select an InTown Suites extended stay hotel versus an apartment, we won’t check your credit, charge you a separate deposit for utilities, or ask you to sign a lease agreement to move in. You will pay for your first week’s or month’s stay upon check-in, and you’re set until you renew for your next week or month.

You won’t need to make extra arrangements when you arrive at your apartment-like suite. Our convenient weekly or monthly rate covers your accommodations and includes:

  • Water and electricity
  • Local calls with voicemail services
  • An expanded TV channel lineup

2| Extended stay hotels offer amenities apartments don’t have.

The added amenities extended stay hotels provide for long-term guests might be something you haven’t considered. Beyond their fully furnished suites with an in-room kitchen, extended stay hotels offer more perks than you’ll find at an apartment complex.

Extended stay hotels also provide:

  • Bed linens
  • Towels and washcloths
  • Bundled utilities
  • Weekly housekeeping

InTown Suites also offers on-site laundry facilities, high-speed internet access, and free parking.

Suite with an open closet and a sleeper sofa by the wall, there is also a TV by the sofa

3| Extended stay hotels are conveniently located.

When it comes to choosing an extended stay hotel, be sure to consider location. Most short-term housing options are located in suburban areas, removed from the conveniences of town. Our guests appreciate easy freeway access and proximity to local necessities and businesses.

Extended stay hotels are conveniently located within a short walk or drive of:

  • Public transportation
  • Grocery stores
  • Pharmacies
  • Big box stores
  • Beauty salons
  • Shopping complexes
  • Healthcare facilities

The convenient locations of InTown Suites are more reasons to choose our extended stay hotels over apartments. Our nearly 200 locations across the U.S. have been strategically positioned to provide convenient access to essential shops and specialty stores.

4| Enjoy lease-free living in an extended stay hotel.

Most apartments require you to sign a lease agreement committing you to that location for a specified amount of time. This can be inconvenient for anyone who needs more flexible arrangements when traveling for business or relocating to a new city. Extended stay hotels don’t require you to sign a lease, and you can renew your stay easily online, making InTown Suites a convenient pay-by-the-week apartment alternative.

5| Apartments are typically more expensive than extended stay hotels.

Upon comparing the rates of apartments to extended stay hotels, you may be surprised by the cost of leasing a property. Landlords don’t typically check competitor prices to offer the best rates possible like InTown Suites. After you factor in the value of living in an extended stay hotel with practical amenities, free parking, and affordable rates, you might have trouble finding a pay-by-the-week apartment with equal offerings for less.

An extended stay hotel will save you money on:

  • Utilities like cable, gas, water, and electricity (because they are bundled into your rate)
  • Furniture costs (because the apartment-like hotel suites are furnished)
  • Linen costs (bed linens, towels, and washcloths are provided)
  • Weekly housekeeping (saving you the time of cleaning and the money for supplies)

*Bonus| InTown Suites features renovated accommodations.

Other reasons you’ll appreciate our extended stay suites over apartments (and other extended stay hotels) include our renovated suites and selection of rooms for any budget. InTown Suites extended stay apartment-like suites are available in three styles: Traditional, Upgraded, and Fully Renovated Premium Suites.

Our Upgraded Suites have been partially renovated with added comforts and more storage space.

Modern kitchen with microwave, two-burner stove top, and full-size refrigerator.

Our Premium Suites have been completely renovated from top to bottom with new kitchens, furniture, flooring, and more.
