Extended Vacations

January 23, 2007 | Permalink

Business travelers going to vacation-friendly destinations may find their extended stay accommodations busier than usual.  Extended stay lodging was originally developed for business travelers or those looking for a long term hotel stay due to relocation or other temporary housing needs.  However, these suites are also becoming increasingly popular for leisure travelers as well.  A recent Newsweek report notes that this may be part of the reason for a 5% jump in the demand for extended stay lodging during 2006.

What is drawing so many travelers to accommodations such as Extended Stay Hotels?  It may be the extra space which is ideal for a long stay or for a family.  It could also be the kitchen, offering more options and a budget alternative for eating while traveling.  There are also helpful amenities such as laundry facilities.  All these touches designed for long term visitors can be perfect additions for shorter trips.

So whether you're traveling for business or pleasure, keep Extended Stay Hotels in mind.
