Has anyone successfully negotiated not checking out of a hotel at a price close/equal to what you would pay m-th? I've heard it's doable. Any tips on how to get on that. I miss my corporate apartment.

Like keep the same room long term? My very first project out of school did that. You had the option of booking m-th every week or booking 6 full weeks (M-sun) and the cost was almost exactly the same. Hotel liked the guaranteed nights. I will tell you, people booked straight through got fucked for weekend work because we didn't have to spend extra to keep them onsite (in fact, we saved an airfare).

If you stay in a hotel mir than 30 days, you don't pay tax (or some of the tax) it might be prudent to do a 31 day stay, see if the rate drops

@M1 -I can see how that can set you up for weekend work. I wasn't planning on telling my lead if it costs the same. What chain was it? And where ?

@A1- thanks for the tip- I'll look into it

This was the Hilton in downtown Atlanta. But it was 6 or 7 years ago.

Some hotels have a specific number you call to negotiate long term stays, ask the front desk or call their corporate office and see.
