| One alternative that is often unnoticed is the possibility of staying in rented apartment rather than a hotel room. The difference is that a hotel room usually will have a refrigerator that is mostly filled with overpriced drinks and provides no facilities for cooking a meal and often no facilities for washing clothes. Nowadays hotels have a "bar refrigerator" that is equipped with sensors and is fully stocked with things that you have to pay for, if anything is moved.
Rented apartment will ideally have a fridge that is completely empty for you to store food. It will have a kitchen supplied with all the necessary where you can cook a meal. Some apartments are equipped with a washing machine and a dryer, but it is common to have communal facilities for doing the washing. Anyway, there will be some option for washing clothes that does not cost much.
Another significant difference between apartments and hotel rooms is the layout which is mostly determined by the size. Rented apartment may have walls partially or completely dividing it into separate rooms. For example, some apartments may have two bedrooms, a kitchen area, and a dining area separated from the rest of the apartment. This makes it possible to arrange a business meeting in the dining area while someone is sleeping in one of the bedrooms. There is a considerable difference between inviting a business associate to the dining area of rented apartment and inviting them to a hotel room.
Rented apartments often are usually more expensive than hotel rooms, as they are more spacious because of the kitchen area. However, by preparing food in the kitchen of an apartment you can save a great deal on restaurants and mini-bar drinks. Another way to save some money is to use some inflatable camping beds for four tenants to sleep in an apartment that is designed for two. Yet, landowners try and discourage this by solely having enough cutlery for two people and not having extra blankets, towels, etc. In contrast, hotel rooms frequently provide spare towels and blankets, since it's easier to stock every closet with them than to deal with requests from customers at night.
