What is Swift Lodging?
Swift lodging specializes in furnished housing for short- and long-term stays; often, those that are too long for a hotel stay and too short for a traditional apartment lease.
Extended stay housing is convenient and cost effective for:
- Corporate consultants or travelers
- Government workers
- Traveling healthcare professionals
- Contract workers (refinery turnaround, attorneys)
- Families renovating or building a new home
- Professionals relocating to the area
Essentially, corporate housing is the perfect solution for those who prefer the comforts of home while they are away. We work with individuals, companies and groups. For specific details please contact us.
