EY peeps, has anyone been on an extended out of town engagement (10-12 weeks)? Did you stay in a hotel the whole time or did the firm set you up with a corporate apartment?

I have been, and I always stayed at hotels. I'd try to find ones with suites though. Residence Inn was nice because it had a little kitchen with a full fridge so I could grocery shop for myself and make my lunches, etc. I like to find hotels with hot breakfasts in the mornings too 👌🏼

Always a hotel for the points, residence inn may be nice but you only get half the points as most other Marriott brands

Don't be upset about the hotels; you get tons of points and you don't have to worry about keeping two apartments clean. Maybe look for a hotel that has a kitchen in the room so you can buy groceries instead of eating takeout everyday.

I was on a project out of town for 6 months and I stayed in a hotel@the whole time. My only recommendation is don't forget to take advantage of alternative travel though, you'll thank yourself later.

^I am definitely not upset about staying in a hotel. Looking forward to racking up another 300k Marriott points. Racked up 300k since August and it looks like I'll be in a hotel every week from the start of April until the end of August

I did a long term engagement in high CoL area so my hotel points were off the chart. I also got sick of the same room/neighborhood so I moved hotels once a week to keep things fresh. I ended up coming out with a ton of hotel points that are still paying for hotel stays years down the road (obviously still earning points in the meantime.)
