Frequently asked questions
What makes a hotel an extended-stay property in Columbus?
Extended-stay hotels offer in-room kitchens or kitchenettes, typically in apartment-style suites with more space than a standard room. Properties like the Sonesta Simply Suites Columbus Airport Gahanna and Candlewood Suites Polaris include full kitchens so you can prepare meals during a longer stay. These hotels are designed for guests staying a week or more, whether for a project, relocation, or temporary assignment.
How far in advance should I book a longer stay in Columbus for my crew?
For a crew or team needing multiple rooms, book as early as possible, especially during busy periods or if you need rooms near a specific site. Availability at properties like the Hawthorn Extended Stay by Wyndham Columbus West can fill quickly for room blocks. Booking early gives you more options and better rates.
How do I book a block of rooms at extended stay hotels in Columbus for my team?
For a stay of 9 or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve through Engine's platform. Engine offers consolidated invoicing, pre-negotiated rates, and no membership fee for either option.
What amenities do these hotels typically include?
Most properties on the list include in-room kitchens or kitchenettes, free wifi, and parking. Amenities like on-site laundry, free breakfast, and weekly housekeeping vary by property. Brands such as Home2 Suites, Homewood Suites, and MainStay Suites generally offer these features, but it's worth confirming specifics when you book.
What's the difference between an extended-stay hotel and a standard hotel for a long trip?
A standard hotel room has a bed, a desk, and a bathroom, but no kitchen. For a stay of a week or more, a suite with an in-room kitchen saves money on meals and gives you more living space. These hotels are built for longer visits, with layouts and services that make a multi-week or multi-month assignment more manageable.
