Group Lodging for Construction Crews in Central Michigan: A Smarter Alternative to Booking Multiple Hotel Rooms
You’re about to find rates as low as $35/person/night. Keep reading!
If you manage construction projects, utilities, or infrastructure crews, you already know one of the biggest ongoing challenges: finding enough reliable accommodations in the right location — at the right price.
Whether you’re coordinating short-term projects, rotating crews, or long-term regional work, booking individual hotel rooms night after night is often expensive, inefficient, and frustrating.
The Ovid Inn offers a simpler solution — a flexible, affordable group lodging option in central Michigan designed for teams who need dependable accommodations without the constant headache.
The Common Problem: Finding Enough Rooms for Construction Crews
Construction managers and project coordinators face the same challenges again and again:
- Limited hotel availability in rural or small-town job areas
- Rising nightly hotel rates
- Crews spread across multiple properties
- Inconsistent check-in and checkout schedules
- Little flexibility when crew size changes
- Time wasted coordinating bookings and invoices
When projects run for weeks or months, these issues compound quickly — creating unnecessary stress for the people responsible for logistics.
A Better Option: Block One Private Property for Your Entire Crew
The Ovid Inn was designed to function as a centralized lodging solution for groups. Instead of reserving scattered hotel rooms, you can block one private property that comfortably accommodates large teams.
Crews can arrive and depart as needed, making it ideal for rotating schedules, staggered start dates, and changing manpower needs.
- Sleep up to 25 team members
- Private, dedicated space — no shared hallways or strangers
- Flexible check-ins for rotating crews
- Simple group billing
- Repeat booking-friendly
Major Cost Savings Compared to Booking Individual Hotel Rooms
Booking hotel rooms one-by-one adds up quickly, especially when crews stay multiple nights. Between nightly rates, taxes, and limited availability, costs can escalate fast.
At the Ovid Inn, groups typically average as low as $35 per person per night, depending on group size. That rate includes lodging for the entire group in one location. (Best rate is calculated for Monday-Friday group bookings for 25 people.)
Compared to traditional hotels that often cost $120–$200+ per person per night, the savings can be substantial — especially for longer projects.
For project managers responsible for budgets, this difference can translate into thousands of dollars saved over the course of a job.
Designed for Flexibility, Not Just Overnight Stays
Construction schedules change. Weather shifts. Timelines move. The Ovid Inn is designed with that reality in mind.
Crews can:
- Come and go on different days
- Rotate team members without rebooking multiple rooms
- Use shared spaces to relax after work
- Prepare simple meals or bring in affordable local food
- Stay together for better coordination and morale
This flexibility eliminates much of the friction that comes with managing accommodations for active job sites.
