Phaedrus Stays places pre-qualified, extended-stay guests directly into partner hotels — without OTA commissions, without channel dependency.
For every extended-stay guest booked through an OTA, your hotel pays 15–25% in distribution commission. On a $1,500/month room, that's $225–$375 per room, every month — gone to the platform.
| Factor | Via OTA | Via Phaedrus Stays |
|---|---|---|
| Distribution commission | 15–25% | 0% (no OTA) |
| Fee paid by hotel | 15–25% commission | None — zero cost to hotel |
| Who pays Phaedrus | N/A | The company (not the hotel) |
| Guest relationship | Owned by platform | Direct with hotel |
| Billing | Platform collects, remits | Hotel invoices directly |
| Channel reporting | Platform reported | Off-channel |
| 30-day lodging tax exemption | Complex via OTA | Clean, under written agreement |

Five steps. No complexity. No platform dependency.
We sign a simple partnership agreement defining room allocation, agreed rate, and non-circumvention terms. No exclusivity required. No cost to the hotel.
We identify companies with extended-stay needs and match them to your property based on fit, availability, and rate.
A written agreement is executed between the company/employer and the hotel prior to arrival. This establishes the 30-day stay and qualifies for the applicable lodging tax exemption.
Your hotel collects the room rate directly from the guest or employer. No platform intermediary. No delayed remittance.
Phaedrus Stays invoices the company directly for the placement fee. The hotel's arrangement remains clean and direct.
These placements operate entirely outside OTA channels. Your property retains full control over how these rooms are classified and managed internally.
The guest relationship belongs to your hotel — not to a platform. Repeat placements flow back through Phaedrus, not through an OTA re-booking.
In many states, stays of 30+ consecutive days are exempt from lodging tax under a written agreement from Day 1. Phaedrus structures every placement to qualify.
Extended-stay guests provide predictable monthly revenue — not per-night volatility. Plan your occupancy, not just your rack rate.
If your property has rooms available for extended-stay placement, we want to talk.
