Why You Should Consider A Microhotel For Your Next Trip

When my youngest child moved out, I was left living in a large home by myself. Weekend visits from the grandchildren only filled the space part of the time. The home became more of a burden as each day passed. It was not until I was working with my real estate agent to sell my home and find a smaller home did I realize that there were so many others in the same position. I created this blog to help other empty nesters explore their options for downsizing and to provide guidance on finding a new home that fits in more with their lifestyle.

Why You Should Consider A Microhotel For Your Next Trip

Whether you travel for work or recreation, you've probably spent your fair share of time in hotels. Unfortunately, after spending a lot of time in hotel rooms, it can seem like all of the rooms are pretty much the same. When you're looking for a different hotel experience for your next trip, you might want to consider a microhotel. Here are some basics you should know about these hotels and their unique rooms.

What Is A Microhotel? 

Like traditional hotels, microhotels rent rooms by the night for travelers of all sorts. They cater to both business and personal travelers, so there is something for everyone. What sets them apart from traditional hotel rooms, however, is the size of the room. A microhotel is so named because the rooms are substantially smaller than your typical hotel room. Most microhotel rooms are smaller than 200 square feet, allowing for at least three rooms in the same square footage as two traditional hotel rooms.

Why Book A Microhotel?

With microhotels offering rooms that are so much smaller, you might wonder why you should consider such an option. After all, what is the benefit to booking such a small room when you can get a larger one with more comfort?

The truth is that microhotel rooms do have some advantages. Especially if you're not traveling with the intent to spend a lot of time in your hotel room, there's little reason to pay the extra cost for a larger room. Microhotel rooms still have most of the same amenities, including a television, drawers, a table, and more.

In fact, since microhotels don't have to spend as much creating their rooms, they can focus their financial investments on other features, like installing luxury showers for a unique hotel shower experience.

In addition, microhotels realize that guests are going to be looking for recreational space when they book a smaller room, so they offer common areas with amenities that help to encourage guests to mingle and interact. Promoting these connections can help people with networking skills, which is great for business.

Finally, when it comes to your travel budget, a microhotel room will save you money on your accommodations. This can make it easier for you to invest in your travel experience, perhaps spending more on your experiences when that money isn't tied up in your lodging.

As you can see, a microhotel may provide you with a unique and enjoyable travel experience. Consider booking one of these rooms for your next trip.
