Hotel v.s. Furnished Apartment
Making traveling plans for a business trip can sometimes be a hassle as you try to decided what kind of accommodations are best for you and your company.
Generally any trip under a week or so could be nicely spent in a hotel, but anything longer and you will begin to want more than just a hotel room.
So, for the serious business trip, a furnished apartment can be a wonderful alternative. Still if the duration of your trip is more than a week or so
and less than a month you may need help deciding which is a better fit for you, the furnished apartment or the hotel? Below are some things (Question &
answer) to take into consideration and may help you make a good decision about where to stay. http://www.easylodge.net/faq
Q31, Price: At first glance a furnished apartment may seem more costly than a hotel, but in the long run you will pay less and get more for your money by staying
at a furnished apartment for your long stay, rather than a hotel. Again for the short trip a hotel room is better for your trip, but for a longer stay, Easy Lodge will
offer more for your money than a hotel room. At a hotel you will need to go out every day for your meals, but at a furnished apartment you can purchase your
own food and save a little money. At Easy Lodge, your rent will include things like cable, high speed internet, local phone, a fully stocked kitchen and much more.
The lowest price apartment at Easy Lodge Vancouver for single room only $308/week, Studio/Bachelor, $498/week, But hotel price, $150/day to $450/day.
Q32, Service: At a hotel, you can be waited on hand and foot. There is of course the daily maid service, but you can also have every meal brought to your room
and each article of dirty clothing taken away and cleaned. But keep in mind that each meal brought and every shirt washed will add to your bill. This can be all well
and good if your stay is short, but after a week or two, the little extra services can add up. At furnished apartments, like Easy Lodge, you may not have room service,
but instead you have a fully equipped kitchen ready for you to make your favorite meal day or night. Full apartment cleaning and laundry machines are also part of
the service you receive at Easy Lodge. Furnished apartments give you the same freedom and comfort you feel at home without the weekly chores of cleaning.
Q33, Location: Hotels are everywhere; you can find them downtown, uptown, to the east and west or next to the airport. This is convenient for many business
travelers who want locations close to their destination or the airport, but may be ill suited for you if you are in town for a longer length of time. Finding a furnished
apartment hotel at the exact location you want may be more difficult as they are generally out numbered by hotels, but now things changed, many are still located
in business or downtown districts and are close to public transit systems than can help you get to your destination. Easy Lodge Vancouver is one of them.
Q34, Reservations: Many hotels will let you check in the day you arrive without a reservation, which is helpful for the last minute business traveler. But,
for longer stays, a reservation is best so that you can be ensured of your room upon arrival with best rates. Before you make your reservation, check with the hotel
or furnished apartment to see if there is a minimum stay requirement. So, do make reservations if you know you will be in town for a longer period of time.
Whether you are in town for just a few days or a couple of months, you want to be smart about your accommodations and choose someplace that will provide
you the service and comfort you desire. Each choice has its pro’s and con’s, but what is most important is that you are pleased and enjoy your stay
while you conduct your business. http://www.easylodge.net/faq
