First, choose a hotel with the right amenities, such as one with a kitchen so you can cook at home, laundry services, high-speed internet, housekeeping services, and other perks. Don’t be afraid to negotiate a lower rate if you’ll be staying long-term. Make sure the hotel is in a convenient location close to where you work or will be visiting regularly. You should also bring your own food and prepare your own meals if possible. Consider what you’ll be saving by living in a hotel, such as utilities, TV, internet, furnishings, and other costs.
