Why Corporate Housing Beats Hotels: a Top 5 List!

Corporate housing vs. hotels… companies debate the two every time they must send someone on a long out-of-town assignment. But is it REALLY a debate? Charleston Corporate Housing says that, when you take a closer look and compare living space, cost, conveniences, security, and comfort… extended stay housing wins hands-down! Let’s take a look at the advantages of a long-stay corporate apartment…

MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!

You’ll save a BUNCH of it. A typical 200 square foot hotel room costs $150/night. The typical 700 sq ft. furnished apartment costs less than $89/day.

And let’s not forget meals. Let’s say that you are in town on a job assignment for three months. Do you plan on eating out 270 times? If each take out meal costs $15-$25, then your food budget will be approx. $4050-$6750. If you purchase your groceries and cook your own meals at your “home away from home”, you could save $2,000-$4,000. Plus, who knows how many calories you will save?

SOUND MIND and BODY

Speaking of cooking, making your own meals in your fully equipped kitchen is almost always healthier than the rich, saucy, breaded, fried, extra-big-portion meals you get at a restaurant.  And being able to relax in a spacious, homelike apartment – instead of staring at four very close walls – is good for your mental health. Your body and mind will thank you!

NEIGHBORLY NEIGHBORS

When you stay in one of our corporate apartments, you’ll feel at home. Most likely, you will see the same folks coming and going each day. It’s a community of neighbors, and neighbors look out for each other.  It’s just not the same in a hotel or motel; it’s a revolving door to the left, right, above, below, and behind.  Who will it be tonight? A class trip? A vacationing family with four kids? A bachelor party? Wouldn’t you prefer to be around folks who have to go to work in the morning – just like you?

WELCOME HOME

And at the end of that workday, when you arrive in your beautifully decorated and furnished apartment, you will appreciate having so much space to stretch out and unwind. You’ll appreciate walking into the fully stocked kitchen to start cooking your favorite meal. And you’ll DEFINITELY appreciate being able to walk into the stocked laundry room and put your clothes in your private, full-size washer and dryer.

FLUFF and FOLD

Did we mention the full-size washer and dryer?  All of Charleston Corporate Housing’s apartments come with them, as well as an iron, ironing board, laundry detergent, and so much more.

Your alternative is a handful of quarters and a wasted evening!
