The Hidden Costs of Booking Hotels for Long-Term Contractor Projects

At first glance, hotels might seem like a convenient option for short-term work trips — everything is taken care of, right? But when you're working on a longer project or contract assignment, those little conveniences can quickly turn into big expenses and everyday frustrations.

Let’s break it down. 👇

🛏️ No Kitchen = Daily Takeaways

Most hotel rooms don’t include a proper kitchen. That means eating out becomes the norm, not the exception. From breakfasts on the go to nightly takeaways, the food bill skyrockets over weeks or months — and you’re left with little control over your diet or your spending.

With Jesswood Properties, every home includes a fully equipped kitchen 🍳 so you can cook your own meals, eat healthier, and save money daily.

🧺 No Laundry Facilities = Inconvenience & Cost

Imagine working 10+ hour days in high-vis gear and not having a washing machine nearby. Most hotels offer laundry as a paid service — and it’s not cheap.

Our homes come with in-unit washing machines and dryers, so you can throw a load in after work without relying on overpriced services or wasting time hunting for laundrettes. 🧼

🚐 Parking Charges & Vehicle Headaches

Hotels often charge for parking per night, and many restrict vehicle sizes. That’s a serious problem if you’re a tradesperson arriving in a van, or if your team has multiple vehicles with tools and equipment onboard.

At Jesswood, parking is included and tailored for professionals who need space for work vans or multiple cars — no hassle, no surprise bills. 🚧

😴 Lack of Privacy or Space

Let’s face it: hotels aren't built for working professionals who stay for weeks at a time.

From thin walls, shared hallways, and limited room layouts, it’s tough to focus, unwind, or get proper rest — especially if you’re working night shifts or long hours.

Our homes offer full living rooms, separate bedrooms, private gardens, and dedicated workspaces. You can truly switch off when your shift ends. 🛋️🌙

🧾 The Hidden Costs Add Up

All of these things — meals out, laundry, parking, lack of comfort — slowly chip away at your project budget and team morale. Over time, hotel stays become not only more expensive but less practical for working professionals.

That’s why smart teams choose Jesswood Properties.

We provide spacious, cost-effective homes that allow you to live well, work efficiently, and rest properly — all while saving money. 💡

Don’t let hidden hotel costs eat into your project budget.
