Corporate Housing May Provide Alternatives for Those Stranded by Covid-19 Travel Restrictions

The spread of the coronavirus is changing the world as we know it every single day, including travel restrictions being imposed that have left misplaced corporate executives looking for a long term rental for at least a few weeks, if not months. As the world collectively practices social distancing and outings are largely discouraged, the need to for a business traveler to be comfortable and at home in their place of lodging is more crucial than ever before, and Murphy’s Corporate Housing Associates stands ready to serve.

How can Murphy’s Corporate Housing Associates help those stranded away from home?

With sudden travel restrictions put into place and growing fear about traveling even domestically, many stranded business travelers in Texas find themselves stuck in a hotel for the foreseeable future. However, without an in room food preparation center or in room laundry facilities at a hotel, guests may struggle to live comfortably, especially they are confined to their room for the purposes of social distancing.

Those who find themselves in this predicament should consider the benefits of choosing Murphy’s Corporate Housing Associates for their stay, including:

24/7 Service

Around the clock service

While 24/7 customer service is a plus for normal business travel, it can be an especially welcome benefit during times of social distancing. If during your stay you require customer service, our representatives can assist you.

Accents of home

Murphy’s Corporate Housing Associates apartments are fully furnished and exude an airy and soothing atmosphere that can mimic the comforts of home.

Our kitchens feature modern appliances such as ovens, stoves, dishwashers, and refrigerators. In addition, Murphy’s kitchens are stocked with the necessities such as can openers, toasters, cookware, coffee makers, corkscrews, cutting boards, hot pads, kitchen towels, vacuums/brooms, trash cans, dishes, silverware, and glasses. An in house kitchen enables guests to eat and cook at any time of day, especially during a time when restaurant services may be limited.

Pet services

All of our properties are pet-friendly and will welcome guests and their pets. This prevents guests from spending money on additional temporary housing for their pet and it may even add to their comfort as they spend quality time indoors with their furry friends.

Bed and Bath Linens

In house washer and dryer

If stranded in Texas on business due to traveling restrictions, chances are you may not have enough clothes with you to comfortably make it through a couple of weeks without doing laundry. To better assist you with those needs, our corporate apartments offer an in house washer, dryer, iron, ironing board, and laundry detergent.

WiFi and Cable

Modern technology or a solid work from “home” solution

Our corporate apartments feature high speed internet, cable, water, gas, electric, phone, and trash services. Both the living room and bedroom are equipped with large flat screen televisions for entertainment and relaxation.

Bath Amenities

More space

While standard hotel rooms typically confine guests to one room, a corporate apartment can allow a guest to spread out between one or more bedrooms, a bathroom, a living area, a kitchen with full sized appliances, and a separate dining area. This space is an asset when sheltering in place as it permits guests to move throughout the apartment while experiencing an occasional change in scenery.

Travel toiletries

When a guest moves in to a Murphy’s corporate apartment they should receive (based on availability) two trash can liners, dish soap, coffee and filter, two rolls of paper towels, bottled water, a small snack basket, and travel size versions of body soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste, and a toothbrush.
