Living in a Hotel With Family: What You Need to Know

What To Look for in an Extended Stay Hotel for a Family

When you are staying for more than a few nights, look beyond the standard hotel basics. Think about what your family will need for meals, sleeping, laundry, work, school, and everyday routines.

Look for:

• A suitable suite layout: Check the bed configuration and available space before booking.
• A kitchen: Preparing meals can reduce the need to eat out every day.
• On-site laundry facility: Family laundry can build up quickly during a longer stay.
• Free Wi-Fi: Helpful for work, school, entertainment, and staying connected.
• Free parking: No more extra costs for parking.
• Weekly rates: Look for pricing designed specifically for extended stays.

When comparing value, consider what is included in the rate as well as the price itself. A furnished suite with Wi-Fi, parking, a kitchen, and housekeeping can mean fewer additional arrangements and costs during your stay.

Make Family Meals Easier With a Kitchen

Food is an important consideration when living in a hotel with kids, especially during a multi-week stay.

InTown Suites provides kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, microwave, and two-burner stovetop, giving families the option to store groceries and prepare meals in their suite.

For a longer stay, it can help to:

• Plan simple meals before grocery shopping
• Keep breakfast and snack staples on hand
• Buy groceries for several days at a time
• Use the full-size refrigerator for fresh food and leftovers

Kitchen items are not provided, so remember to bring or purchase the cookware, dishes, and utensils you expect to use.

Keep Up With Laundry and Housekeeping

Laundry can build up quickly when the whole family is away from home.

InTown Suites provides on-site guest laundry facilities, so registered guests can wash and dry clothing without finding an off-site laundromat.

Weekly housekeeping is also included, helping families keep their suite manageable throughout a longer stay.

Keeping a laundry bag in the suite and choosing a regular laundry day can make it easier to stay on top of clothes during the week.

Make the Most of Your Suite Space

For families living in hotels, sharing a smaller space can take some adjustment.

Keeping the suite organized can make everyday routines much easier:

• Store suitcases and less-used belongings out of the way, with underbed storage in upgraded and premium suites. 
• Give children a designated area for toys, books, or schoolwork
• Keep frequently used items easy to reach
• Avoid bringing more belongings than you need
• Rotate toys and activities instead of keeping everything out at once

Maintaining familiar routines around meals, schoolwork, bedtime, and time outside the hotel can also help your family settle into a temporary space.

For a longer stay, look for nearby parks, playgrounds, libraries, and other activities so everyone has regular opportunities to get out of the suite.

Why Choose InTown Suites for a Longer Family Stay?

For families, value is about more than finding the lowest room rate. It is also about having the everyday essentials you need without arranging them separately.

InTown Suites provides furnished extended stay accommodation with a kitchen, free Wi-Fi, free parking, weekly housekeeping, and access to on-site guest laundry facilities.

There is no need to furnish a temporary space or arrange separate Wi-Fi and utility accounts before settling in. Weekly stay options also provide an alternative to committing to a traditional long-term rental when you do not know exactly how long you will need temporary accommodation.

This can make InTown Suites a practical option for families who are:

• Relocating
• Between homes or leases
• Waiting for a new home to be ready
• Dealing with home repairs or renovations
• Staying temporarily for work
• Visiting an area for an extended period
