YOUR HOME AWAY 
When it comes to extended-stay hotels, the benefits of a full, stocked kitchen are almost endless. With a hotel kitchen, you’ll save money on dining out, be able to prepare your own food, and enjoy all the conveniences of home.
If you’re wondering what’s included in your extended stay hotel rates, we’ve got you covered. This guide has a few of the many reasons why having a hotel kitchen is a great asset to your health and pocketbook.
Whether you’re relocating or staying in an extended stay suite for business, the last thing you want to do is pack kitchen supplies. Especially if you’re moving and your kitchen gear is already packed for your big move. Take the stress out of taking an extended stay and enjoy everything you need.
Your kitchen will have pots, pans, cooking utensils, and silverware. There is no need to bring any necessities with you while you stay. You also won’t need to waste any money on disposable kitchenware. Save the environment and save money on the plastic silverware and paper products you may have needed at other hotels.
Eating out can add up. $10 spent on lunch and $20 spent on dinner can cost you a lot of money over a short period of time. One of the many benefits of extended-stay hotels is that you can save a ton of money being able to cook for yourself.
With a well-stocked kitchen, you’ll be able to cook like you would at home. You won’t need to order take-out or go through the drive-through if you know you’re able to cook in your home away from home. There’s also a full-sized refrigerator to you can stock all your favorite drinks and food. No need to pay for vending machine drinks and snacks.
Just because you’re staying in a hotel, doesn’t mean you can’t brown-bag your own lunch. In an extended stay hotel, you’ll be able to make your own lunches for work. If you buy your lunch from a restaurant, you may be spending more money on lunch than you realize. If you spend $10 a day on lunch, that’s $2,600 a year.
Ordering lunch every day can also wreak havoc on your diet. Save money and your waistline by preparing your own lunches in your extended stay hotel. This is a huge cost saving compared to a regular hotel that may not even include a refrigerator.
If you enjoy your own coffee, being able to prepare it yourself is a huge win. With a fully stocked kitchen, you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite cup of joe while you’re away. You can bring your own coffee, creamers, and sugar to prepare it yourself. There will be coffee cups in the kitchen as well so there is no need to pack them.
You will also save money on coffee-to-go. You can make your own coffee and bring it with you to meetings and the office. No need to spend money in an expensive coffee shop.
Being able to meal prep is almost impossible in a traditional hotel. In a hotel with a full kitchen, you’ll have everything you need to meal prep. You can chop fresh fruit for snacks or cut vegetables for dinners that week.
Just because you aren’t at home, doesn’t mean you can’t plan your weekly or monthly meals as you normally would. An extended stay kitchen will have a cutting board, and all the pots and pans you need to meal prep.
If you stay in a traditional hotel, chances are, you’ll need to eat out or order room service. These foods tend to come in huge, unhealthy portions. With your own kitchen, you can make sure you’re cooking the same healthy food you do at home.
With a full-sized refrigerator, you can also keep fresh snacks handy. Instead of reaching for an over-priced mini-bar, you’ll have healthy snacks available whenever you need them.
With a full kitchen, you’ll be able to have a co-worker over for dinner. Your kitchen and dining area are stocked with everything you need to entertain a guest. After a long day, it’s nice to be able to enjoy a meal and a drink with a colleague.
If you have a breakfast meeting or training, you will also have plenty of space to set up a meal for you and a teammate. You can put on a pot of coffee and serve a quick breakfast as you would at the office or in a conference room.
When you’re paying for a long stay in a hotel, you want to make sure you’re getting the most for your money. When you pay by the week or for extended stay monthly rates, you can rest easier knowing you’re making the right choice. An extended-stay hotel kitchen will come with everything you need to prepare your own meals, snacks, and coffee.
You and your business partners will enjoy all the comforts of home without paying for expensive room service or meals out. You’ll keep your checkbook and your waistline in much better shape. For more information on booking your next extended stay, fill out the contact form here.
