1. Utilities + WiFi (Clarity Beats Guessing)
For 30+ day stays, you want predictable monthly costs and reliable internet. Confirm what utilities are included and whether there are any usage limits.
2. Laundry + Kitchen: The Quality-of-Life Upgrades
In-home laundry and a full kitchen keep routines normal. This is one of the biggest differences between a true furnished home and an extended-stay hotel.
3. Workspace + Quiet
If you're working remotely, studying, or charting, a dedicated workspace matters. Quiet evenings matter too—especially for early shifts.
4. Parking + Access
Downtown can be fun, but daily parking and traffic add up. Many extended-stay guests prefer a northside base with easy interstate access to reach hospitals and employers across the metro.
