    4 years on the road for work. Best thing learned if I am driving instead of flying. Do not use suitcases. Use containers .You will be able to carry much more.

    I'm a senior citizen and don't want to leave a lot for my children to deal with when I pass away. I love long hotel stays. Finding a place that's pet friendly and has nice amenities is all I need. No home maintenance, no property taxes, no yard work - these are worth paying for a hotel.
    Thank you for this great video!!

    FYI...most extended stays let customers use the address hotel..to cut down on clutter you can find a self storage to keep your extra belongings...as far as the room that you are "borrowing"..if you are in a small room..investing in a shelf to fit behind the bathroom toilet helps a lot,the small plastic drawer shelves are good for clothing..at WalMart..they run about 30 bucks...and the key for this type of room is STACKING..shelves&drawers are VERY helpful and can also be used for tables..with the economy being so screw
    ed
    up..MASSES of people are living in those type of hotels and some temporarily while seeking permanent homes,apartments,land etc...hope this little tidbit helps as well..thanks for the vid ❣️

    I know others have said this, but your advice was very helpful! At least now I know some things to plan in advance. My husband asked me today, "what will I eat?" Not yet knowing if we will have a fridge, I at least now know some things to get. I also now know to plan how to make the room appear to be more home-y and welcoming, and ask lots of questions, like can I use the lobby's microwave!
    Thank you for doing this.

      I currently stay in Michigan and I didn't want to be homeless or on the street, so I stay in a hotel. I been doing it for 7 years. My parents don't understand why I would stay in a hotel and not an apartment.
      I pay $1600 a month , apartment would be $2000-2500, and that's not including lights and water.
      Every year I get my taxes back I said I would get an apartment, but because I don't have history, I can't. Other people that would rent me a place wants $1900.
      I'm going to school so I can make more money and get an apartment. I plan on moving to Orlando in June!

    Tried this. Kept being "gassed". Turned out, some group of nomads(very tribal) was living there. If you checked in, they'ed gas the hell outta ya till you checked out and moved. Maybe I just had a bad experience, but, never tried again. Now, with rent so high, I'm reconsidering.... IMHO....
