Top 10 Extended Stay Hotels

Any employee who has been assigned by their company for an extended stay away from home knows how quickly the novelty of travel can wear off. The next time your boss tells you to pack your bags, consider lobbying for a stay at one of these top extended stay hotels.

Extended Stay America

Extended Stay America is one of the largest and best known extended stay hotels, offering glitch free sign in and painless billing. While Extended Stay America is geared toward budget travelers, their facilities include all of the accommodations that an extended stay guest needs, like a full kitchen, plenty of workspace and fairly cozy furniture.

Doubletree Extended Stay Suites

I've never been disappointed with any of my stays at Doubletree, and their bonus programs for frequent guests keep many business travelers coming back. Some of the amenities offered by Doubletree's Extended Stay Suites include a two-line telephone system with voicemail, WiFi internet, full kitchen and complimentary business center.

Hyatt Summerfield Suites

Hyatt Summerfield Suites offers a little more style and comfort than some extended stay hotels, with stylish furniture and fresher layout of the suites, at least to my tastes. The spacious suites come with a sofa sleeper that's a comfortable spot to unwind or look over some last minute work. The flat panel television comes ready to plug and play portable DVD players and other entertainment devices. For more information, visit Hyatt Summerfield Suites.

Hardage Group Hotels

The Hardage Group offers the Woodfin and Chase extended stay hotels, both of which are well known for catering to the expectations of upscale business travelers. While Chase Hotels feel more like home, Woodfin Hotels are designed to the tastes and needs of high end corporate travelers. For more information, visit Hardage Group Hotels.
