Home Sweet Hotel: The rise of extended-stay living

Extended-stay hotels have become an option for many who need temporary housing from home displacement, can’t afford an apartment, or business travelers placed in Memphis for weeks or months for projects.
The amenities offered for most extended stays include free WiFi, cable, utilities, breakfast, weekday dinner, cocktail receptions, daily laundry service, gym, pool and parking.
Inside the furnished room, there is more space than a regular hotel, including a separate seating area similar to a living room and a full kitchen with silverware and dining ware, making it easier for families to make dinner at “home.”
Most extended-stay hotels are also pet friendly.
