Answer Extended-Stay Questions Before They're Asked

Long-stay guests need more information before booking. Give them everything they need to commit—instantly.

About This Hotel Type

Extended-stay guests approach booking differently. They're not choosing a place to sleep for a night—they're selecting a temporary home for weeks or months. Before committing, they need detailed information: kitchen equipment, laundry facilities, workspace setup, what's included in weekly rates, cleaning schedules, and neighborhood essentials like groceries and gyms. This research-intensive process often involves back-and-forth emails that delay decisions. An AI chatbot transforms this journey, providing instant, comprehensive answers about apartment amenities and services, helping potential guests visualize their extended stay and move confidently toward booking.
