How to stay in an express hotel for a long time and it’s cost-effective?

You need to inform the hotel in advance how long you are going to stay and let them find a way for you. The hotel will give priority to some guests who have stayed for a long time. For example, they will inform you about membership, monthly rent, etc. You can arrange a room according to your budget. You can go directly to the hotel to negotiate the price, or you can stay in some B&Bs. For people who stay in hotels for a long time, it is better to stay in B&Bs. Fortunately, the prices are low and the rooms are large. You can stay as long as you want, it's more relaxed and free compared to a hotel. You can check out AIRBNB, Tujia, Ant Short-term Rental, and Xiaozhu Short-term Rental.
