Instead of buying a house in the suburbs or an apartment in an apartment building in the city center, many people are starting to purchase apartments that are in a hotel. Unlike a traditional apartment, in these their neighbors change each day. This could be a problem at the height of tourist seasons as hotels fill with loud, boisterous guests. Yet, the reasons why they would prefer such arrangements differ with each person. Many are no doubt drawn to the luxurious furnishings which are provided for them. Others may like the fact that the decoration is managed by the hotel staff. Another good reason is the service that a hotel provides. You have maids to keep the house and repaimp3en to fix your broken furnishings. Management is there to provide the same service that it would for any short-temp3 guest. However, none of these really explain why people buy a hotel room to be the family apartment. The design of the hotels is not intended to become pemp3anent apartments, but the attractions may outweigh the disadvantages. These disadvantages, such as tight living spaces and different neighbors might not be important, as more people are beginning to do this.

许多人开始选择在酒店购买公寓，而不是在郊区购房或在市中心公寓楼购买公寓。和传统的公寓不同，在酒店他们的邻居每天都会换。在旅游高峰期这就是个问题，因为酒店里满是喧嚣、聒噪的游客。当然，人们选择这种住所的原因因人而异。毫无疑问，许多人是冲着酒店为他们提供的豪华家具而去的。另一些人则可能是因为装修会由酒店员工负责。还有一个很好的原因是酒店所提供的服务。你有服务人员来清理房间，有维修工人来为你修理坏家具。那里的管理人员为你提供的服务和为任何一个短期游客所提供的服务是一样的。这些原因没有一个可以真正地解释为什么人们要买酒店房间作为自己的家庭住房。酒店并不是按照永久居住的公寓而设计的，但它的吸引力可能会超过它的不便。这些不便，比如紧张的居住空间和不同的邻居也许并不那么重要，因为有越来越多的人开始选择购买酒店式公寓。
