So, I've done this before when changing jobs and hadn't secured permanent housing. If you're paying on your own, don't forget to take a look at some of the "lower end" properties to be just fine. I've done at least a month in both an Extended Stay America and a Candlewood Suites. At least at the Candlewood you can earn IHG points. They can be significantly cheaper than the Residence, Homewood, etc. Look for reviews on the property and take a drive by, if you have the opportunity, to make sure you have no issues.
