Benefits of Extended-Stay Hotels for Family Vacations
Vacations should be relaxing, but cramming into one small hotel room with the whole crew can quickly become stressful. That’s why stayAPT Suites is a great choice for vacations with children. Extended-stay hotels are ideal for family vacations, with spacious suites, full kitchens, and amenities that make traveling with kids easier and more affordable.
Why Extended Stay Hotels Are the Best Choice for Family Vacations
Extended-stay hotels boast apartment-style accommodations that offer several benefits for family vacations. To choose a hotel for a long-term stay with children, look for these features:
- Ample space and privacy, especially when compared to traditional hotels
- Kid- and family-friendly amenities, including full kitchens, separate living and sleeping spaces, and on-site laundry
- Cost savings, so your vacation budget goes farther on the fun stuff
Let’s explore how each of these characteristics makes vacationing with kids easier—and how stayAPT Suites delivers on all of them.
Kid-Friendly Suites Offer Extra Space and Privacy
One of the best vacation lodging tips is to choose accommodations with plenty of space. Nobody enjoys being cramped into a tiny hotel room—and most average out at around only 330 square feet. Tight shared spaces become an even bigger problem on long vacations, when overcrowded conditions can fray the family’s nerves.
Extended-stay hotels ease this issue by offering more square footage and better family-friendly layouts than traditional hotel rooms. At stayAPT Suites, the bedroom is down the hall from the dedicated living room, giving every family member the privacy they need. Whether Dad wants to watch TV after the kids go to bed, Mom wants to prep dinner in peace, or the youngest wants time to calm down from a tantrum, these kid-friendly suite layouts ensure each person can do what they need without disturbing others.
Family-Friendly Amenities Make Vacations With Kids Easier
Parents know that the right amenities can make or break a family trip. That’s why stayAPT Suites and extended-stay hotels offer more robust amenities than other travel lodging:
- Full-Size Kitchens: Each kid-friendly suite includes a full-size kitchen stocked with cookware and appliances, so it’s easy to store food, prepare snacks, and make quick meals to please picky eaters.
- Laundry Facilities: Family vacation hotels with on-site laundry facilities mean parents can pack lighter, clean dirty items during their trip, and avoid bringing home piles of dirty clothes.
- Outdoor Courtyards: With grill stations, picnic tables, and firepits, our outdoor courtyards offer everything you need for a memorable family evening. Enjoy dinner outside, or relax around a fire.
- Wi-Fi and TVs: Each stayAPT suite features high-speed WiFi and two 55-inch TVs with premium entertainment packages. This means Mom and Dad can stay connected and the kids won’t miss their favorite shows.
These family-focused features add up to less stress for parents—and more fun for kids.
Cost Savings Stretch Your Vacation Budget
Extended-stay hotels offer discounted rates for weekly and monthly stays, but that’s not the only reason staying longer at a hotel can actually help families save money on their vacations. Choosing an extended-stay hotel for your family vacation offers cost savings across the board.
- Kid-friendly suites with full, in-room kitchens mean families can store snacks and cook their own meals, avoiding the high costs of dining out.
- For a small daily fee, stayAPT Suites allows pets (up to 75 pounds) to join your family’s extended stay. This is often much less expensive than boarding or hiring a pet sitter back home.
When the essentials cost less, you can reinvest the money you save in memory-making experiences—visit more theme parks, explore more museums, or shop your way through the city.
