Decrypts the aparthotel versus traditional hotel equation for extended stays and business travel, analysing when the cost calculation flips at four-plus nights, which amenities actually enhance month-long stays, and how business hotels either support or sabotage work performance. The research examines truly usable kitchens versus cosmetic ones, workspace adequacy, housekeeping assumptions, corporate rate value, and the layout decisions that maximize livable space. The purpose: provide business travellers and extended-stay guests with practical frameworks for accommodation decisions that affect daily productivity and comfort, not just nightly lodging.
