Frequently asked questions

Who typically books extended stay hotels in Chicago?
Extended stay hotels in Chicago are popular with crews working on local projects, employees relocating or on temporary assignment, people attending training programs, and anyone on a longer business trip. These hotels offer the amenities and space that make a stay of a week or more more comfortable than a standard guest room.
What makes a hotel an extended-stay property?
An extended-stay hotel offers apartment-style suites with in-room kitchens or kitchenettes, giving travelers a way to prepare meals and settle in for longer than a few nights. The rooms are designed with more space and the layout you need when you're staying put for a week or more. Brands like Residence Inn, Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Extended Stay America, Staybridge Suites, and MainStay Suites specialize in this format.
How is an extended-stay hotel different from a standard hotel for a long trip?
A standard hotel room is built for short stays, with a bed, desk, and bathroom. An extended-stay suite adds a full or partial kitchen, separate living and sleeping areas, and often more closet and counter space. For a stay of a week or longer, that kitchen and extra room make a real difference in comfort and cost.
What amenities do these hotels usually include?
Most extended-stay hotels offer in-room kitchens with a refrigerator, microwave, stovetop or cooktop, and dishware. Amenities like on-site laundry, free breakfast, parking, and wifi vary by property, so it's worth comparing what each hotel includes when you book.
What should I compare when choosing an extended-stay hotel for my team in Chicago?
Look at location relative to the job site or office, the kitchen setup in each room, parking availability, and amenities like laundry and breakfast. For a stay of 9 or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking; for 8 or fewer, you can book self-serve on Engine and compare rates, availability, and features across the hotels on the list.
