However, the discounted accommodation comes with a caveat: the cost of the stay is equivalent to $3,000 per month, which is similar to the local rental rates. This means that employees who opt to stay at the office hotel for the entire month could potentially spend over $6,000 on accommodation. Additionally, Google specifies that the promotion is not approved for business travel and should be funded by individual employees.
The offer has received mixed reactions from Google employees. Some view it as an interesting opportunity to save on commuting time and expenses, while others find the offer lacking considering the price point. Comments on Google’s internal discussion forum have highlighted that the deal could be more attractive if it were even more affordable or included additional services like food and housekeeping.
