Finding a weekly home is a little tricky. You need to find a well-maintained extended stay hotel so you can live, but afford it so you can actually stay.

Just like everything else in life, the more money you pay, the better the quality you get.

1. Security (neighborhood, security)

Do your research. Check if the area around the hotel is walking, especially if you don't have your own car, need to buy groceries, go to work/school, etc., and check the safety of the hotel. Is there a history of intrusion or other criminal activity? Cheap motels and hotels are usually located in unremarkable places, so although the cheap price may be attractive, put your safety first.

2. clean

Cheap hotels may not have the best health and wellness standards. Problems like bed bugs, cockroaches, mold, and dirty furniture are not only annoying, but can also cause some health problems. Take some time to read reviews from past tenants. If possible, check to see if this place can be tolerated.

3. Convenience (close to restaurants, shopping, etc.)

No matter why you want to live in an extended stay hotel, convenience is often an important factor. You may want to find a place closest to your job, a grocery store, or any other place you plan to visit frequently. This is especially important if you don't have a car. Being able to walk to where you need to go can save you a lot of money for commuting.

4. Conveniences

Some contracts include free breakfast, room service, free parking, and facilities such as a fitness center and swimming pool. Think about whether this is necessary, or something that you are willing to spend extra. Please read these rules carefully before booking your accommodation to avoid any unforeseen expenses.
