An "Extended Stay" refers to a type of accommodation designed for guests who need to stay for longer periods, typically a week or more. These facilities often provide amenities like kitchenettes, laundry services, and spacious living areas, making them suitable for business travelers, families, or individuals relocating. Unlike traditional hotels, Extended Stay options focus on providing a home-like environment. They are often more cost-effective for long-term stays, as guests can prepare their own meals and enjoy additional space. Popular brands in this category include Extended Stay America and Homewood Suites.
