Extended Stay Hotel

After AirBNB, we turned to extended stay hotels. We stayed for a week and a half at a Staybridge just outside of Napa. This method has all the luxuries of a hotel and with an extended stay hotel you also have a kitchen.

We found the hotels to be along the same expense as the AirBNB, which is why we opted for them. The bonus to a hotel is multi-fold. First, you don’t have to make your bed or clean your room! The extended hotels typically offer breakfast as well as a complimentary happy hour/dinner in the evenings. Not having to factor in the expense or hassle of cooking breakfast was a plus, although the options are pretty limited and not nearly as healthy as we typically eat. Also, while we didn’t really utilize the dinner options, we did go for a couple of beers and enjoyed having the option. We also had complimentary wi-fi, and our room happened to be a two room suite, which allowed me to work in one room while Matt did whatever unemployed people do during the day. The kitchen was another huge plus for us. We really enjoy cooking and, although it was a little more difficult to cook on a single cooktop, we were able to make some very tasty meals.

The biggest con for us was that the hotel was in a business district, which didn’t have a lot going on around it. This may have been due to the area, and there are surely better options, but we didn’t really love having to drive to get dinner. The plus was that we were right across the street from a grocery store so we were able to easily get supplies. The other main con, was that it was loud and we could hear people upstairs. This was only truly bothersome one night when there was a large group partying all night, but it is still a common occurrence in hotels. We also found that traveling with a dog often meant staying in the pet-approved suites; not altogether terrible, but they are typically on lower floors which contributes to the aforementioned noise.

 Extended Stay Hotel 

 After AirBNB, we turned to extended arrest hotels. We stayed for a week and a one-half at a Staybridge precisely outside of Napa. This method has all the luxuries of a hotel and with an extended arrest hotel you also have a kitchen. 

 We found the hotels to be along the like expense as the AirBNB, which is why we opted for them. The bonus to a hotel is multi - fold. First, you do n’t get to make your bed or houseclean your room! The extended hotels typically offer breakfast equally well as a complimentary happy hour / dinner in the evenings. Not hold to factor in the expense or fuss of cooking breakfast was a plus, although the options are pretty limited and not nearly as goodly as we typically eat. Also, while we did n’t really utilize the dinner options, we did go for a couple of beer and enjoy having the option. We also had complimentary wi - fi, and our room happened to be a two room suite, which allowed me to work in one room while Matt act whatever unemployed people do during the sidereal day. The kitchen was another huge plus for us. We in truth delight cooking and, although it was a little more unmanageable to cook on a individual cooktop, we were able to make some very tasty meals. 

 The boastful con for us was that the hotel was in a business district, which did n’t have a lot going on around it. This may have been due to the sphere, and there are surely better options, but we did n’t really love having to drive to catch dinner. The plus was that we were right across the street from a grocery store so we were able to easily get provision. The other main con, was that it was brassy and we could hear people upstairs. This was only truly annoying one night when there was a large group partying all night, but it is however a common happening in hotels. We also found that traveling with a frank often meant last out in the pet - approved suites; not altogether terrible, but they are typically on lower floors which contributes to the aforementioned noise.
