Extended Stay calculateur

Four weeks in Phoenix in a mid-tier extended-stay suite costs about $2,929 in 2026 — versus $5,248 paying the hotel night by night: the $520 weekly rate becomes $2,341.46 after the 12.57% lodging tax, plus $540 of grocery cooking (the kitchen saves $180/week off the eating-out baseline) and $48 of laundry — while 28 hotel nights × $125 at the same tax are already $3,939.95. Four weeks = 28 nights, and the gap is $2,318 (44%) in favor of the weekly rate — a 41% discount off seven nights that saves money after 5+ nights.

Stay style

An extended-stay suite with a full kitchenette: the weekly rate, in-room cooking and a coin-op guest laundry on every floor.

Suite tier (weekly rate)

Budget $400 / mid $520 a week — selected $520.

Food: cook or eat out?

Groceries instead of restaurants — the city's kitchenSavingsPerWeek comes off the food line (suites only). This city saves $180/week. Baseline eating-out food: $45/day ($315/week) for one person — the default for hotel stays with no kitchen. Cooking in a suite kitchen swaps most of that for groceries: the city's kitchenSavingsPerWeek comes straight off this line.

The selected weekly rate is a 41% discount off seven hotel nights and saves money after 5+ nights ($520 ÷ $125 = 5). Rule of thumb: it saves money after 5+ nights.

Combined transient-lodging tax applies to the weekly rate too — it is NOT a nightly-only fee. In several states, stays crossing ~30 days can also qualify for lower/reduced lodging tax; that varies by state and is not modeled here. · Figures are for one person — the extended-stay use case (relocation, contract work, travel nursing, between-homes). The room is one suite or one hotel room; food is one person's.

Extended-stay brands typically require a 7-night minimum for the weekly rate; some markets also add a 30-day cap on consecutive weekly stays before a lease-style rate applies. Check the property's weekly-stay policy when booking.

FAQ

How much cheaper is a weekly rate than nightly in 2026?

Across these 10 cities: an extended-stay suite weekly rate runs a 30-45% discount off seven nightly-rate nights — Phoenix as the example: a mid-tier suite at $520/week versus $875 for seven hotel nights ($125 nightly average), about 41% saved before tax. Regular hotels give a smaller weekly discount (10-15%) because their market is nightly by design — so the kitchen-equipped suite is the consistent winner for long stays.

When does a weekly rate save money?

After 5+ nights — that is the real break-even: divide the weekly rate by the nightly average (Phoenix: 520 ÷ 125 = 4.16, rounded up to 5 nights). Below a week the nightly bill still wins because you never collect the full discount; from a week on, the weekly rate pulls ahead and the gap widens with every extra night. Practical rule: any stay that might pass five nights — ask for the weekly rate before booking.

What does 4 weeks in Phoenix on a weekly rate cost?

About $2,929 for one person in a mid-tier suite ($520/week): lodging $2,341 after the 12.57% lodging tax, food $540 cooking (the $315 eating-out baseline minus the $180/week kitchen savings) and $48 of laundry. The same four weeks at a hotel by the night = 28 nights × $125 × 1.1257 + eating out + laundry = $5,248. The gap is $2,318 (44%).

Does cooking in the suite kitchen really save money?

Yes — it is the second-largest line after lodging: eating out runs about $45/day ($315/week) for one person, and cooking on groceries replaces $160-190/week of that in these cities — roughly $640-760 a month. In a kitchenless hotel the option does not exist: food sits at $1,260 over four weeks, while the cooking Phoenix suite holds it at $540.

Is the tax charged on the weekly rate too?

Yes — the combined transient-lodging tax (12-17% in these cities) applies to the weekly bill in full; it is not a nightly-only charge, and this calculator applies it to both sides so the comparison stays honest. One legal note: in several states, a stay crossing about 30 days can qualify for lower, reduced or exempted lodging tax — the rule varies by state, so check it for month-plus stays.

Extended-stay suite or regular hotel for a full month?

The suite wins a full month on three counts: a cheaper weekly rate ($520 vs the $760 hotel week in Phoenix), a kitchen that brings $180/week off food, and a guest laundry on every floor. The hotel's only edges are daily housekeeping and location — and if you need those, book the hotel on its own weekly rate (a 10-15% discount only), never night by night.

What does an extended-stay weekly rate include?

The 2026 norm: a full kitchen with cookware, wifi, utilities, free parking and weekly housekeeping (daily service has been cut or made paid by most brands). Laundry stays on you: coin-op washer and dryer, about $11-12/week for one person. The weekly rate normally carries a 7-night minimum booking at most brands.

Do hotels offer weekly rates?

Yes, but the discount is modest: hotels sell nightly inventory, so a typical weekly rate is 10-15% off seven advertised nights (Phoenix: $760/week versus $875 nightly). Furnished hotels in longer-stay markets quote deeper monthly rates, but that is beyond the weekly window. Bottom line: one week = the hotel is an acceptable call; multiple weeks = the extended-stay suite wins by a wide margin.
