Extended Stay Hotels
Any recommendations on extended stay hotels?
I have been advised about extended stay america but that sounds a bit expensive. There are a couple cheaper alternatives that I found like InTown Suites and Value Place but I don't have any prior experience of them and they sound a bit dodgy. I am concerned about quality and security of these places.
Any opinions?

Re: Extended Stay Hotels
I will be in Chicago. Extended stay America seems to have a good presence around Chicago suburbs but none of their hotel is close to a station which makes commuting to downtown Chicago a nightmare.
And yes, the security of these cheaper Inns is not satisfactory.

Re: Extended Stay Hotels
Have you checked out TripAdvisor? Pretty much all the hotels in my area are extended stay (military town) and varying in quality. We stayed in a shabby Extended Stay a few years ago but it has now been refurbished and is very well rated.
Plus TripAdvisor reviews always cheer me up

Yes I have checked the hotels at the time of trip. They provide the facilities according to the charges. The more they will will provide facilities, more they will charge.

I used Airbnb to book a stay in Baltimore in the summer, that worked out ok.

....and in Chicago specifically, I'm staying here for three weeks when I first arrive:

..and I'm reliably informed it's nice (hope it is, anyway).

Re: Extended Stay Hotels
Your company's managers may have a place where they like to put long-term visitors (it isn't always a single hotel room, it could be a furnished flat). Ask some managers who require their teams to travel a lot.

Re: Extended Stay Hotels
I think they do but you need to contact them directly.....my new boss has booked it for me. You can also lease the units as furnished apartments, so I'm guessing they can accommodate most requests.

Re: Extended Stay Hotels
We're in a furnished apartment in Evanston for home leave - got it through VIPcorporatehousing.com
Parking spot in the garage included in the price and right next to Purple Line Main station.
Edit to add - great gym in this apartment building.
