While extended stay apartment hotels, a relatively new feature in the hotel industries, effectively serves your requirements of vacation apartments, you should be aware of the facilities they ordinarily provide before you select one for your extended stay.

At present there are twenty seven chains of such extended hotel apartment rentals in North America. There are no less than two thousand such apartments where you may have your extended stay. The facilities provided are not available in standard hotels. However, the rates and facilities provided by these apartment hotels vary quite substantially and it may be prudent to have a look at them and compare their terms and conditions before you step into one.

Since one of the major concerns of most of the visitors is the affordability, economy chains of Vacation Apartments are the ones that attract most of the customers. Typically, these apartments may provide you with semi permanent residential facilities. Other common facilities provided are self-serving laundries and cooking facilities.
