For reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33286238 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33286238 > Standard rentals are too inflexible for long term (month long) travellers and the hotel industry is either too expensive or not designed for long term stays. Most of the major hotel brands have chains intended for long term stays. My wife, son and I stayed at one for five months a few years ago when we moved out of our apartment and decided to get a house built at the last minute. We didn’t want to pay month to month rates. I’ve already booked rooms from November 1st through the end of next October in about 30 different hotels - mostly Hyatt Places, Home2Suites and Homewood suites. We are staying in hotels for 265 days between that time and our own vacation property/investment property the rest of the year. We are taking real “vacations” for a few days in more expensive places using points we accrue. I made it my goal to keep our lodging expenses for the year the same as the all in cost of our current mortgage+utilities.

Yeah, we've stayed in accommodation like this as well. Often very shitty experiences in business aparthotels. Always good to have a list though.

  I work during the week. I like business “aparthotel”. I know I’ll usually have a comfortable desk in the room with an adjustable chair. Decent “premium Wifi” at Hiltons (Diamond member) and a level of consistency.

  I used to stay at Hyatt House pretty regularly, and it was a great experience Lately it's sucked just like every other hotel, since they don't clean the rooms and the employees are all overworked and stressed out. Still better than having to deal with all the huge fees and shenanigans from AirBNB IMO

    Unfortunately, there are relatively few Hyatt Houses in the US.
