I was at an Extended Stay hotel so it was like having a little apartment. And it was much cheeper then a "real" apartment". Twenty dollars a night--which included the electric, the water, parking, tv/cable and (if I had a my lap top) wi fi internet. There also was a laundry on site.
And it came with everything! 2 spoon, knifes, forks, plates, coffee maker, small fridge, cook top (no oven), they cleaned the sheets. It was very nice but very small.
It did make me feel like this house is quite big!
