The availability of adequate lodging and related services is a significant issue for military personnel on temporary duty. Given that many military bases are located in far-flung parts of the country, finding a decent hotel room for rent within your budget can be a challenge.
Military crashpads are an excellent alternative for military members that are looking for comfortable yet affordable lodgings. Most crashpads offer some degree of added service, but when booking a military crashpad, there are some specific amenities to keep in mind if you want to ensure a hassle-free and memorable lodging experience.
Here’s what you should look for:
Proximity to the Military Base
The first thing you must keep in mind is where the military lodging is located. If you’re going for an off-base option, you want to make sure that the commute is as short as possible, so you’re not wasting any time on the road. For instance, Freedom TDY Crashpad is conveniently located just a few minutes away from Randolph AFB and Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston.
Cleaning Facilities
Professional cleaning facilities are a must when you’re looking at the list of amenities. After a long day of training, the last thing you want to do when you return is to clean up or do the laundry.
Most crashpads do offer housekeeping and laundry services, but they might charge you extra for it—so keep an eye out for additional costs when choosing crashpad housing.
Entertainment Options
After a grueling day of exercises, we understand that you might want to kick back and unwind. For this purpose, you’ll need some entertainment options. Look for places that offer different activities, such as gaming consoles, theater rooms, Wi-Fi services, and outdoor amenities such as barbeque pits and grills.
Dedicated Workspace
If you’re looking for a quiet place to get some work done or if you’re planning to study for an upcoming exam, a study room is essential. See if the place you’re looking for offers a library or private workspace with equipment, such as a desktop, printer, and other office supplies.
