Yes, transient houses are generally cheaper than hotels, especially for families and groups, because the cost is spread across multiple guests sharing a single property rather than paying for individual rooms. A transient house that sleeps 8 to 10 guests may cost significantly less per person per night than booking equivalent hotel rooms, while also providing more space, a full kitchen, and a more private setting. The overall value is higher for longer stays as well, since many hosts offer discounted weekly or monthly rates.
