Suite hotel or whole home
Suite hotels suit a night or two, and many include breakfast and a pool. For larger families or longer stays, a whole house gives everyone their own bed and more room to live.
| Typical family suite | The Whitby House | |
|---|---|---|
| Bedrooms | 1 room, 2 queens and a sofa bed | 4 bedrooms, 4 beds plus a bunk bed |
| Bathrooms | 1 | 3.5 |
| Sleeps | 5 to 6 | Up to 7 |
| Kitchen | Kitchenette | Full kitchen with gas range |
| Laundry | Shared guest laundry | Washer and dryer in the home |
| Dining | Small table | Separate dining room |
| Outdoor space | None | Fenced backyard with patio |
| Parking | Hotel lot | Free private driveway |
| Meals | Breakfast buffet at many hotels | Home-made meals to order |
When a hotel still makes sense
For a single night on the road, or a couple travelling light, a hotel is often easier. For two nights or more with kids, grandparents or hockey bags, a home usually wins.
