Frequently asked questions
Is an extended-stay hotel insured like an apartment complex?
Not necessarily. Actual operations, licensing, guest agreements, services, stays, amenities, and policy classifications should be evaluated rather than assumed.
Why do kitchenettes matter?
Cooking appliances and longer occupancy can change fire, housekeeping, maintenance, water, and guest-use exposures.
Coverage descriptions are general. Eligibility, availability, limits, deductibles, valuation, exclusions, and policy terms vary by operation and insurance market. Actual policy documents control.
