I worked for a weekly hotel company which made millions on this concept. Its slogan was pay only for what your need. For instance, supposed you were coming to Phoenix relocating with a job. Chances are you may need a place for a week or a month until you find the location you want to live at. SO if you are driving into Phoenix and put your sheets, towels, etc in the trunk. Basic rate without linen and dishes was $169 per week. Want linen add 20 per week, dishes add another 10, etc For total package with linens and dishes and microwave and maid service it was like 239 per week. Vast majority took the lowest rate and that is what we to keep our expenses down.
