I suppose we also lack a way to distinguish extended-stay hotels which are designed for 1 week to multi-month stays;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apartment_hotel " There are currently 27 extended stay chains in North America with at least 7 hotels, representing over 2,000 properties.[*citation needed <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>*] There is substantial variation among extended stay hotels with respect to quality and the amenities available. Some of the economy chains attract clientele who use the hotels as semi-permanent lodging. Extended-stay hotels typically have self-serve laundry facilities and offer discounts for extended stays, beginning at 5 or 7 days. They also have guestrooms (or "suites") with kitchens. The kitchens include at a minimum usually: a sink, a refrigerator (usually full size), a microwave oven, and a stovetop. Some kitchens also have dishwashers and conventional ovens. Extended stay hotels are aimed at business travelers on extended assignments, families in the midst of a relocation, and others in need of temporary housing." -- Joseph Eisenberg On Mon, Dec 14, 2020 at 12:14 PM Paul Allen <pla16...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, 14 Dec 2020 at 19:41, Jmapb <jm...@gmx.com> wrote: > >> >> At least In the rural USA, there's a continuum between motels that have >> an array of rentable rooms in one or two buildings and those where each >> room is an individual cabin, or sometimes half of a duplex cabin.
