Why Renting a House Beats Hotel Rooms for Teams
1. Shared Common Space & Team Bonding
In a house, teams can gather for meals, strategy meetings, or post-game relaxation. A hotel often forces everyone into separate rooms and hallways.
2. Cost Efficiency
Multiple rooms in one house often cost less per person than booking many hotel rooms, especially if meals can be cooked or shared.
3. Flexible Scheduling
You won’t be bound by hotel check-in and check-out times. Houses typically allow more flexibility, which helps for teams arriving early or leaving late.
4. Reduced Logistic Stress
Managing one property is easier than coordinating many hotel rooms across floors. Fewer keys, fewer check-ins, and one point of contact.
5. Better Sleep & Focus
With fewer shared walls and more control over noise, teams often sleep better and show up stronger on game day.
A Real Team Housing Example
Imagine a basketball team of 15 players, plus 3 coaches. In a hotel, that might require six to eight rooms with adjacent hallways. In a large short-term rental home you can all stay under one roof, share meals in one dining area, review footage in a living room, and support each other through the schedule.
That level of cohesion builds team spirit and reduces friction.
