Tips On Accommodation For Short Term Rental For Business Trip

By Adriana Noton


There has been a huge rise in the demand for accommodation for short term rental for business trip purposes. The hotels industry that was used to providing all the accommodation for business and leisure purposes has seen a downturn in the use of their services for business. That downturn has mainly been due to the many specialist accommodation management providers who have appeared. They provide accommodation world-wide for professional travelers who want more than the standard hotel room.

Knowing what an individual need or wants is fine if you are booking for yourself. However, taking the time to find out what a colleague needs or wants in their accommodation is crucial if you are booking on behalf of someone else. Particularly, if that individual has a disability, which may not always be obvious, so it is always best to ask if they prefer a bath or a shower, and if they have a problem with stairs or lift, etc.

The location of the apartment in relation to the places they need to visit and determine whether there is good public transport and road links, etc. Is the accommodation based in a respectable area that has easy access to shops, restaurants and other facilities. Obtaining a street map or a local guide book is a useful source of reference and information.

Using the internet to search and compare accommodations and the services offered by the provider is the best way to find out what is available. If there is the opportunity to view the accommodation in the local area, it is easier to judge the standard. If viewing is impossible due to geographical location you should request references. Read any online reviews and request recommendations from the clients being visited and speak to others who have visited the location.

Many of the more modern accommodation providers will ensure that clients have access to administration and secretarial services for hire and the use of communications equipment. Office space and meeting or conference facilities can also be hired by clients. Access to their own leisure facilities or the use of another close by is often included in the package.

A 24 hour reception facility or emergency contact arrangement needs to be in place in case of a medical or some other type of emergency. In addition, facilities for car hire, or taxis and other services may be provided at the clients request, usually at an additional cost.

The hotel industry recognized the need to plug the gap in the market for professional travelers. In order to keep themselves in the business market many are providing individual apartments for short term rental for professional trip clients. The apartments can be serviced to meet the clients needs and can be situated within the main hotel, or sometimes in building nearby.

Individuals and groups using a short term rental for business trip purposes have the option of which services and leisure facilities they want to be included in the package. The accommodation providers are keen to build on their clients experiences in their furnished apartments Mississauga and encourage them to repeat business.
