Do you need a HH for the kitchen aspect? Because like you, I work remotely, with more restriction, and I live out of hotels. Currently at the HH in Lansing, MI. But many HHs are only doing "mini fridges" in studios now. I am in a 1bd. Frisco, TX has an exceptional staff and has negotiated a long-term rate with me (and others). Manchester, UK is my favorite place, probably ever.

I track prices carefully, and I watch for sales. I managed to get the HH Chicago Medical District for 55 nights for $81 a night (no taxes after 31 days, so they all go back as a credit). Fantastic deals when you find them. I found this one because it's Lansing--a college town--and I had a 34 night stay in July until very early August. Tax exempt in MI too, and slower time due to school not being in session.

Not all states have a tax-exempt after a month(ish) rule anymore.

Chicago in winter (if you like that--I do), Dallas year round, Houston too, and other major urban areas with hotel competition are more likely to have deals.
