You can book the cheapest rate online; I do not think you need to inform them in advance but it helps if you give them a heads-up because they can prepare the large yellow bin with lots of towels and bed sheets as shown in one of my review pictures. Housekeeping staff will not enter the room during the entire 14 days but they picked up used towels left outside the door of the room once a day. They also provided trash bags for us to discard our rubbish outside the room.

Regarding food we bought an electric pan online which was delivered to the hotel in advance of our stay. Many of our food deliveries were actually from grocery stores rather than a restaurant and we could have home cooking for many days of the stay. The hotel gave us dish soap, plates, and cutlery which we washed ourselves every day rather than ask them every time for clean ones. They were helpful at every step of the way for all miscellaneous requests.

Indeed, it worked much better than having to call them every 2-3 days to ask for new items!
