Extended Stay and Corporate Housing
How to avoid hotel room blahs on long business tripsBy Betty W. Stark, Business travel consultant and columnist Stark Consulting When out-of-town projects mean you'll face long stretches away from home, even the spiffiest hotel room can become boring, costly and a drain on your productivity.
If you dread lackluster hotel rooms and crave a few creature comforts, there are lodging alternatives out there that will:
- Save you money over standard day rates
- Offer studio apartment-or-larger lodging options with homey features
- Give you and others in your company flexibility to come and go as needed.
Define your needs. Staying a few weeks; months?
The extended stay concept makes sense if you want added features in a studio or suite setting and you can sign on for a minimum one-week stay. For longer stays (a month or more) or an open-ended lease, fully-furnished corporate housing is the way to go.
