Extended stay

A long stay (several weeks or more) with terms and services designed for extended periods. Hotels and corporate housing providers often offer reduced nightly rates and added amenities — such as laundry or kitchen facilities — for stays beyond a certain length. It's a common accommodation choice for long-term assignments, relocations or extended project work.

Extended-stay properties range from dedicated extended-stay hotel brands to aparthotels and serviced apartments. Rooms typically include a kitchenette, a work area and more storage space, and many properties offer weekly housekeeping, laundry facilities and grocery services. Rates usually decrease as the length of stay increases, and longer bookings may come with more flexible payment terms, such as weekly or monthly invoicing.

For companies, extended stays raise specific questions: what budget per night is appropriate for a long assignment, when a traveller should move from a standard hotel to an extended-stay property, and how to handle changes to the end date. Daily allowances may also be adjusted for long stays, since employees with kitchen facilities incur lower meal costs. Clear rules help keep long-term assignments comfortable for employees and predictable for the budget. Longer stays abroad may also raise tax or immigration questions that HR should review in advance.

Tumodo offers access to more than 3.5 million accommodation options, from budget to premium, and lets companies set policy rules such as a maximum price per night by location, property categories and meal plans. Daily allowance rates can be configured for domestic and international trips, with exceptions for specific cities or countries. For longer or more complex arrangements, Tumodo's 24/7 support team and dedicated account manager are available to help.
