The distinction between hotels and rental condos in resort areas is fading.

May 16, 2011 - PRLog -- This trend appears likely to continue as vacationers seek new options for meeting their travel needs and property managers evaluate their alternatives for increasing revenue.

The availability of condo hotels includes the potential for improving local economies as destinations offering rental condos through booking engines may attract business from other markets.

Unlike most hotel accommodations, rental condo units frequently offer multiple bedrooms and bathrooms along with fully equpped kitchens. This additional capacity along with the option of meal preparation may actually decrease total vacation expenses while increasing overall vacation quality.

Although facilities do vary, the checking process for many rental condos is similar to checking into a traditional hotel.
