Whether the lodgings are hotel-like or not shouldn't affect tax deductibility if your stays are clearly temporary and your tax home remains elsewhere. Temporary away from home lodging can mean up to a year or two in one place if you return to your tax home afterward. For that length of stay, most people would choose an apartment or even house over a hotel.
