6 Reasons to Choose Midterm Rentals Over Hotels

When it comes to deciding between a midterm rental and a hotel, there are numerous factors to consider. Leah from Gumball Properties shares insights on the distinct advantages of opting for a midterm rental. Here's a breakdown of why a midterm rental might be the better choice for your next stay.

Cost Savings with Midterm Rentals

One of the major benefits of choosing a midterm rental over a hotel is cost savings. Unlike hotels, where the price is set, midterm rentals offer the flexibility to negotiate prices, especially for longer stays. At Gumball Properties, we are open to discussing price points to ensure you get the best deal for your stay.

Space and Flexibility

Renting a home or apartment provides significantly more space than a typical hotel room. Even a one-bedroom apartment can offer more room to spread out and make the space your own. This is particularly beneficial for groups or digital nomads who prefer to stay together in one place rather than being split across multiple hotel rooms.

For example, a group of digital nomads can rent a house and enjoy the shared living space, kitchen, and outdoor areas, making the stay more personal and comfortable. This flexibility allows for activities like group meals or barbecues, enhancing the overall experience.

Pet-Friendly Options

Traveling with pets is often easier with midterm rentals. Many of our locations at Gumball Properties are pet-friendly, allowing you to bring your furry friends along. While there is usually a pet fee to cover additional cleaning, this option is generally more accommodating than hotels, which can have strict pet policies.

Cooking and Kitchen Benefits

Another significant advantage is the presence of a full kitchen in midterm rentals. This feature allows you to cook your meals, saving money on dining out and providing the comfort of home-cooked food. This is particularly useful for those traveling for work or digital nomads who may prefer a home-cooked meal after a long day.

Laundry Convenience

Midterm rentals often include in-unit laundry facilities, a convenience not commonly found in hotels. This allows you to manage your laundry needs on your schedule without the hassle of finding and using a coin-operated laundry facility in a hotel.

Living Like a Local

One of the biggest perks of staying at a midterm rental with Gumball Properties is the opportunity to live like a local. We aim to help our guests immerse themselves in the local community, supporting nearby businesses and enjoying local events. This local experience can be missed when staying in a hotel, which is often geared more towards tourists.

Conclusion and Contact Information

Choosing between a hotel and a midterm rental depends on your specific needs and preferences. Midterm rentals offer several advantages, including cost savings, more space, pet-friendly options, kitchen facilities, laundry convenience, and the chance to live like a local.
