How To Feel At Home When You're Between Homes

How To Feel At Home While Staying In A Hotel

Moving into a hotel for an extended stay might feel like a setback or a failure. It doesn’t have to be that way. You can make the most of your stay by making your room more comfortable. 


Many amenities are included in your hotel stay. Enjoying the perks of your stay and adding your own personal touch will improve your experience. Small changes will make your temporary house feel more like your own space.



Preparing Your Temporary House For Comfort


As a guest at Economy Hotel, you can create a comfortable environment by making small, personal touches and organizing your hotel room to your liking. Unpack your bags, add your own decorations, and change the sheets to something that you feel more comfortable with. Adding your own touch will make you feel more at ease and relaxed in your surroundings. 


Try to enjoy the little things each day. Hang your clothes up, put your food away in your fridge, and turn on some music that you enjoy. Your new home can be a place for peace with a community of people that you can get to know. 


Our staff is always there to help you with your needs or any questions you might have. The other guests might become friends with whom you can spend your time. Temporary housing can be more than a hotel. It can be a home for as long as you need it.



Establishing Daily Routines While Between Homes


One step to begin your stay in temporary housing healthily might be to create a schedule that you stick to each day. Begin your day with a walk around the hotel. Enjoy your breakfast in the common area, and plan your day around productive activities that might better your future. 


Whether you’re going to work, the gym, or just staying in your room, staying busy is a great way to create a sense of normalcy when you’re in between homes. Make sure you keep up with your laundry and clean your room as often as possible. Since you’re in a small space, it’s easy to make a mess.  If you don’t clean up regularly, the mess can become overwhelming. Try to create a self-care routine that is manageable. Make the most of your temporary stay by being as productive as possible.





Making The Most Of Your Hotel Amenities


Economy Hotel includes a lot of great hotel amenities in your stay. Some amenities include free Wi-Fi, an on-site laundry facility, and a microwave to support comfort and convenience during your stay. There’s a chance that you won’t have a room with an oven or stove, so a great tip for living in a hotel room is to meal prep or buy meals that can be reheated in a microwave. 


You can wash and dry your clothes in your transitional housing hotel for just a few dollars for each load when you use our on-site laundry facility. Enjoy our free Wi-Fi for work or entertainment. Our amenities will save you time and effort when you’re in between homes.



Personalizing Your Space For A Sense Of Home


Small adjustments, like decorations, pictures, lighting, and organizational items, will make your hotel room feel lived-in, homey, and welcoming. Although it is temporary housing, you don’t have to settle for the simple decorations that come with your room. 


Add a personalized touch to your space by incorporating your own decorations that speak to your style and creativity. At Economy Hotel, every guest should feel comfortable when they lay their heads down at night.
