Why Booking A MINNeSTAY Vacation Rental Is Cheaper and Better Than A Hotel

Today, traveling is one of life's greatest joys but choosing where to stay can be a daunting decision. While hotels have long been the traditional choice for your vacation, a vacation rental are increasingly becoming the go-to option for savvy travelers. Why? Because vacation rentals often provide better value for your money. There are also superior amenities and a more personalized travel experience.

Let's explore why staying at a vacation rental can be both cheaper and better than booking a hotel.

The cost of a hotel in downtown Minneapolis can vary widely depending on the time of year, the type of hotel, and the amenities offered. On average, a mid-range hotel in the downtown area typically charge between $150 and $250 per night. If you are looking for luxury accommodations, they can easily exceed $300 to $500 per night. Especially during peak travel seasons, major events, or conventions.

Additionally, hotels in downtown Minneapolis often include extra fees, such as parking charges (which can range from $20 to $45 per day), resort or facility fees, and taxes, further inflating the overall cost. For travelers seeking affordable options, these expenses can quickly add up, making alternatives like vacation rentals an attractive and cost-effective choice.

Vacation rentals often cost less per night than hotel rooms. Take our Sable Luxury Condos for example, for the price of a one room hotel, you can have luxury condo with full kitchen and high-end amenities. When you're traveling with a group or staying for an extended period, the Sable Luxury Condos offer plenty of space for your entire group with more room to spread out.

Hotels are notorious for hidden costs, such as resort fees, parking fees, mini-bar charges, and even Wi-Fi fees. Vacation rentals, on the other hand, tend to be more transparent about pricing, and many include amenities like parking and internet at no additional charge.

Yes, A MINNeSTAY vacation rental is cheaper than a hotel. Why go with box with a bathroom in a vast hallway when you can have an entire home for a comparable price, with so much more. Here is a list of the many reasons it is a better choice for most travelers.

One of the biggest advantages of vacation rentals is the ability to cook your own meals. Dining out every day can quickly add up, but having a fully equipped kitchen saves money and allows you to enjoy home-cooked meals. This is especially beneficial for families or those with dietary restrictions.

Vacation rentals typically offer more space than hotel rooms. Instead of being confined to a single room, you'll often have access to multiple bedrooms, living areas, and sometimes even outdoor spaces like patios or gardens. This is perfect for families, groups, or anyone who values their privacy.

Many vacation rentals come with washers and dryers, which can save you money on laundry services at hotels. Plus, having clean clothes on hand means you can pack lighter and avoid airline baggage fees.

Vacation rentals often feel like a home away from home. Unlike the standardized experience of a hotel, vacation rentals are unique and reflect the local culture and charm of the area. You can choose from many different styles of vacation homes including funky cool places or historic homes in historic neighborhoods. They provide a more comfortable and personal atmosphere, which can make your trip even more memorable.

If you're planning an extended vacation or working remotely, vacation rentals are far more practical than hotels. Many vacation rentals offer discounts for weekly or monthly stays, making them even more cost-effective. Plus, having access to a full home gives you flexibility and comfort to settle in for a longer period.

MINNeSTAY offers a variety of longer-term corporate rental options for business travelers.

Vacation rentals often cater to families and pet owners, offering kid-friendly features like cribs, highchairs, and fenced yards. Many also allow pets, which is a rarity for hotels. This means you won't have to spend extra money on pet-sitting or kennel services. MINNeSTAY offers many pet-friendly properties with access to local parks perfect for your 4-legged family members.
