The Amenities Corporations Should Require From Short-Term Rentals

A poll asked what readers viewed as the most important amenity during a hotel stay. Free WiFi received a large percentage of the votes out of a list of 33 items. The tally made it the top choice as a necessary amenity.

Modern life requires people to have online access or work and communication can become nearly impossible. Many restaurants and cafes offer WiFi for free to their customers, but people do not always want to work or have personal conversations where anyone can listen. They also may not feel comfortable spending several hours a day in a cafe.

Visitors who live too far away from their home to commute will not usually have a membership at a local gym in an unfamiliar area. People may also feel uncomfortable jogging around a strange neighborhood. A fitness center on-site at the rental location makes it simple for health-conscious guests to stay on their routine with no discomfort or extra fees.

Between 2005 and 2017, the number of laundromats in the United States dropped by about 20 percent. People may struggle to find a place nearby. When the individual finds a location, the process is not always convenient. Some may not wish to tote their laundry baskets around town and spend hours in the facility while their clothes wash and dry.

The average length of stay in corporate housing is 86 nights. The time spent at the rental unit often extends too long to make it reasonable for people to dine out and order takeout meals. Guests will usually want more than sandwiches and microwaved dinners.

Some guests may also need to bring their family members along due to the length of stay. The opportunity to enjoy private family dinners could benefit them socially and financially. Rental choices need to have full kitchens that include the same quality and size of appliances people usually have in their homes.

A bucolic rural setting appeals to the senses but can also become overwhelmingly isolated. Conveniently located rentals enable people to have access to all the services an apartment cannot offer. Guests who have entertainment, grocery stores, and medical services nearby will feel more comfortable in a new place.

Apartments a short distance from the corporate location will also make the commute in a new area less confusing. If nothing near the business is acceptable, look for places with adequate public transportation. The service can reduce the concern of driving in an unfamiliar town and gives the guest the opportunity to avoid rental car fees.

Corporations need to consider the cost of the housing they offer to their employees and guests, but the cost means nothing if people do not feel comfortable.
