Why Short-Term Rentals Are Better Than Normal Hotels For Travelers

There are more options than ever for travelers, including corporate travelers, families and other vacationers. In the past, normal hotels were the only choice for accommodation. Now, short-term rentals such as Airbnbs offer an alternative option that many travelers see as a big step up from traditional hotels. Here are just a handful of the reasons why short-term rentals in Scottsdale, AZ are better than normal hotels for travelers.

Kitchen Facilities

Unlike hotels, short-term rentals give travelers the option of cooking their own meals in the unit. While sampling local cuisine is often an integral part of every trip, sometimes dining out for every meal is cost-prohibitive, inconvenient or simply not an option due to time constraints. It doesn’t have to mean home cooking a five-course meal. Just being able to prepare a few simple dishes is a big convenience that hotels don’t offer.

Affordability

It used to be that large metropolitan cities were the only places where hotel room charges were excessive. Now, though, hotels are pricey no matter where you travel to. Since most travelers–even corporate travelers–are looking to save money, short-term rentals just make more sense. With monthly rates that are deeply discounted compared to hotel nightly rates, this is one of the best reasons to choose short-term rentals over hotels.

Flexible Checkout Times

Check out times at hotels are typically either 11 AM or noon. If guests stay over by as little as 15 minutes, hotels automatically charge for another night. But when you book a short-term rental, you get to stay for a longer period of time, with no need to worry about checking out the next day. Also, if you need a little bit of extra time to pack your belongings and clean up after yourself, most short-term rental owners are understandable and flexible.

Personal Touch

When you stay at a hotel, you’re paying a corporation for a service, and it’s very impersonal. When you stay in a short-term rental in Scottsdale, AZ, you enjoy a guest experience, where there is more of a personal touch. Short-term rental owners are more vested in your satisfaction as a guest, as opposed to a giant corporation who only sees you as a number.
