In todays world for many different reasons you need to change your accomodations frequently. Some of you work from home, some like to travel for work and leisure. There are many options that come to mind, the two most popular ones are extended stay hotels and temporary housing. Both options have their benefits and drawbacks. Let us discuss if an extended-stay hotel suits you more or a long-term accommodation rental. 

Long-Term Accommodation

Advantages:

•  It gives you the homey feel and comfort with a spacious interior, actual kitchen and rooms, and balcony—all amenities like washing machine, kitchen appliances, ironing board, furniture in place. 
• It has the convenience of living in your own home. You can lock and leave the place with the assurance that no one will invade your privacy. 
• You can maintain a healthy lifestyle of your choice with a fully furnished kitchen and pantry. 
• Expect to enjoy a standard living routine while away from home. Work on a desk, serve food at a full table, rest on a couch, watch TV in the living room, and sleep on a bed – not confining to one room like a hotel!
• It provides you with the sense of living in a residential place with a quieter environment, resident privileges, safety of won home, and privacy. 
• You will save on services with no added fees like booking, housekeeping, and parking.

Disadvantages:

• Finding a suitable rental apartment takes a longer time in the search.
• You will have to sign a long term contract and pay at once.
• You may not have essential laundry, room cleaning, continental breakfast, and ready meals.
• It requires a long minimum stay requirement and security deposits, so not suitable for a shorter stay.
• You may get deprived access to some bonuses like a jacuzzi or fitness gym.

Extended Stay Hotels

Advantages:

• You can find deals and promos on a long-term hotel stay and pay monthly.
• Many extended stay hotel options are available online with ratings and reviews. You can book and pay online.
• Hotels are located close to convenient transportation like shuttle service to the airport. 
• A lively and happening ambiance and private and silent space in the room.
• No extra spending on appliances, furniture and amenities like WiFi, microwave, refrigerator, desk, and bed in a personal space.
• Room service and house keeping is available.
• Hotel services are handy, like laundry service, fitness centre, meeting rooms, a pool, and continental breakfast. 

Disadvantages:

• You do not have the freedom of customizing an extended stay suite. Kitchen appliances may be limited. You may need to sacrifice either function for a deal or comfort for function.
• Hotels are shared spaces, and it may affect your schedule of using the meeting room, laundry room or fitness centre when other guests are using them. 
• Extended stay hotels are often situated away from the city’s centre, close highways. This remote location may deprive you of a sense of safety and privacy but now portals like www.roomdaddy.com are offering hotels for extended stays in prime locations with easy access of public transport.
