YOUR HOME AWAY 
Looking for a way to make your business trips a little more comfortable. With work, travel, luggage, and flights all demanding your attention, trying to manage a comfortable lifestyle can get hard. But rest assured it is not impossible.
With the help of smart packing, preparation, and an extended stay hotel, you’ll finally begin to feel at home wherever you are.
If these tips to stay comfortable sound like your dream come true, keep reading to learn more about stress-free business travel.
After a long day of work and business travel, the last thing you want is to stress about where you’ll be staying. Let’s be honest, at this point all you want to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the night in. You want the kind of relaxation most hotels cannot guarantee.
Extended hotels, on the other hand, were made for this. They have homey rooms, ready-to-use full kitchens, self-serve laundry, gyms, pools, and many other amenities regular hotels overlook. They even have free WIFI for any remote work you may need to perform.
The best part about all of this is you can stay here for as long as you want for a cheaper price than an average hotel stay.
This homey and affordable accommodation is a necessity for your next business trip. If you’ve never stayed at one, book a couple of nights and see how amazing it all goes.
As stated earlier, preparation is key when it comes to having stress-free travels. One of the best travel areas to prepare for is your hotel. Getting all the details figured out early will save you from doing it after an already long day:
It is no secret that you cannot feel comfortable in an uncomfortable hotel room. Seriously, it’s not possible. The best way to make sure you are walking into exactly what you arranged is by doing your research.
Look up pictures of the potential hotel and read customer testimonials. Chances are your experience will be similar to the ones you read about and your hotel will look like the images online.
Do not wait until the week or day of to book your extended stay hotel room. Waiting until the last minute will lower your chances of getting the room or hotel you desired. It also gives hotel management less time to prepare and make sure your room is in the best condition.
Book your room as soon as you learn the details of your latest business trip. This will ensure you’ve done everything needed to get the cozy room you can’t wait to get back to.
Another thing you should do before your hotel stay is called a day in advance. When you do this, go over any specific request you put in for your room. Some of these may sound like: bed size, room location, extra sheets or toiletries, or check-in times. This quick reminder will help hotels staff give you the right room.
It will also make sure there were no scheduling mishaps that occurred in-between booking and now.
If you are staying at an extended stay hotel for a while, there are a few extra items you should bring from home. You can’t bring your favorite reading chair or luxury bathtub, but there are a few items that would make your stay a little more comfortable. Just make sure you have room in your carry-on for any extra items:
It is normal for young professionals to be scared of the dark; it’s nothing to get ashamed of. Some hotels have dim nightlights in restrooms or entrances, but this just isn’t enough for some people. If this is a common issue for you, bring an extra nightlight to plug into the wall.
This is an easy way to make sure you’re comfortable when bedtime rolls around and have all the extra light you need.
If you plan on using the laundry services at your extended-stay hotel, keeping your clothes all in one place will make this process much easier. The best way to do this is by bringing your own hamper along for the ride. When laundry time comes around, all you’ll have to do is pick up the basket and go.
Just remember to bring one that is collapsible and travel-friendly. If you aren’t a fan of this hamper style, you can also opt for a hamper sack. These are mesh sacks that you can easily fold up and slip into the side of your bag.
After a day of business, both you and your feet will be tired of dress shoes. Once you get to your room, nothing will sound more comfortable than a soft, fuzzy pair of slippers. Already have a favorite pair of slippers? Great, just throw them into your luggage and you’re good to go.
If you’re more of a bare-foot type of person, buy yourself a budget-friendly pair of travel slippers to keep around during your business travel. Your feet will thank you later.
