Extended stay lodging in California is an ideal arrangement for a lower cost family vacation. Rather than paying for a hotel for the whole family then having to eat out 3 meals a day you could find short stay lodging that would enable you to not only have plenty of room but also, more than likely a kitchenette or even a full kitchen. Buying groceries is much easier on the budget than the whole family eating out 3 times per day.
Consider cabins, vacation rentals and even by the week motels for your California vacation. The money that you save by paying for a week at a time with all the amenities of home including a kitchen can be put to better use to do things the family would enjoy. After all California has some great tourist destinations and you want to be able to enjoy them rather than spending your vacation budget on 2 or 3 individual hotel rooms and dining out. Whether you're going for a weekend or week, or even month long trip lodging can be one of the most expensive aspects of a vacation, wouldn't you rather enjoy a more all-inclusive sort of lodging plan?
