I have weekly rates and they come up automatically when you try to book for that long. We sometimes get guests for up to 2 weeks at a time. Had one for 17 nights and yes... a different breakfast every single night. They get one extra bonus, we do a load of laundry for them. For me, it's a lot less work, we only change the sheets once per 3/4 day. Plus we don't have a departure/arrival to deal with. Most of my long requests are off-season, though we do get some during the season including some guests we are rather fond of..
Same here.Eric Arthur Blair said:I have weekly rates and they come up automatically when you try to book for that long.
My weekly discount works out to 7.5% on top of my online booking rate, so 16.75% off my rack rate, plus the load of laundry.This is a great question! We had someone call today about a 2 week stay. Our owner only approved a 10% discount on a long term stay, but that doesn't make it affordable for most and I really wanted us to rethink it.
I guess there are plenty of pros and few cons to long term guests.
Could y'all please give an idea of what kind of discount you offer % wise? I was going to post a question about this anyways.....
For me it depends on what kind of mess I can expect - office type vs pipeline welder and what they expect. It is a negotiated agreement. For me it is usually room cleaned & sheets changed once a week. There is always the possibility of a shared bath - because it is always the room with the full-size bed that gets long-termed. The regularly $99 + tax per was given at $300 per week w/no breakfast - I put it on the books as $100 per night for 3 nights and comp the rest of the week for my bookkeeping. That way if she got laid-off, she was already paid for the week. She felt that was fair since she did not quibble. She liked the safety factor, the feeling of being at home, the someone to talk to and bum around with if she wanted to (she did). She was invited and went to some dinners and functions we had in town while she was here so she really was like family.This is a great question! We had someone call today about a 2 week stay.
