I'm guessing you don't travel most weeks. Being asked regularly to give up your precious weekends at home for a Saturday night stay over gets old very quickly.
Not to mention it can make getting to your next location tricky, unless you are happy to not go home at all between trips.
Don't get me wrong, I do this from time to time when it suits me and the company, but they understand that it's an occasional favour rather than a requirement.
