Grilling on the Road: Making the Best Meals at YourSpace Hotels Chesapeake

Grilling on the Road: Making the Best Meals at YourSpace Hotels Chesapeake

Traveling for weeks or months at a time doesn’t mean giving up the simple pleasures of home—like cooking outdoors and sharing a great meal. At YourSpace Hotels Chesapeake, our outdoor grilling area was designed to give extended-stay guests a place to relax, prepare fresh meals, and enjoy the kind of connection that only comes from gathering around the grill.

Why Grilling Matters During Extended Stays

A Taste of Home

For many travelers, grilling is more than just cooking—it’s a tradition. Whether you’re flipping burgers after a long shift, grilling fish for a healthier option, or preparing kabobs with your family, outdoor cooking brings a sense of home and comfort to life on the road.

Healthy and Cost-Effective Dining

Dining out for every meal quickly adds up. Grilling your own food gives you full control over ingredients, portion sizes, and flavors, helping you stick to your budget and maintain healthier eating habits during long stays.

Relaxation After a Long Day

Our grilling area doubles as a space to unwind. Instead of heading to a crowded restaurant, guests can enjoy a laid-back evening outdoors—cooking, laughing, and recharging for the next day.

Making the Best Meals While on the Road

Simple and Quick Favorites

• Burgers and Hot Dogs – Classic, crowd-pleasing, and easy to prepare.
• Grilled Chicken Breasts – Perfect for meal prep; great in sandwiches, wraps, or salads.
• Vegetable Skewers – A fresh, colorful option that pairs well with any protein.

Healthier Options

• Salmon Fillets or Shrimp – Lean, flavorful proteins that cook quickly on the grill.
• Turkey Burgers – Lower fat without sacrificing taste.
• Grilled Portobello Mushrooms – A hearty vegetarian option packed with flavor.

Make It a Full Meal

Pair your grilled entrée with easy sides you can prepare in your in-suite kitchen:

• Fresh salads
• Rice or pasta dishes
• Roasted or sautéed vegetables
• Fruit bowls or grilled pineapple for dessert

Pairing with YourSpace Amenities

The beauty of our grilling area is how it connects with the rest of your suite experience. Cook proteins outdoors, then finish side dishes in your fully equipped kitchen. Store leftovers safely in your suite’s full refrigerator or pack them up for work the next day. And when the night’s over, your in-suite washer and dryer makes clean-up easy—no worries about smoke lingering on clothes.

A Place to Gather and Connect

Our grilling area isn’t just about food—it’s about community. It’s a space where construction crews can gather after a long shift, families can enjoy dinner outdoors, or military travelers can share a taste of home with fellow service members. In a world where travel can often feel isolating, these moments of connection make all the difference.

The YourSpace Difference

At YourSpace Hotels Chesapeake, we’ve redefined extended-stay living to include the small but meaningful experiences that improve quality of life. From outdoor grilling spaces to in-suite kitchens, washers/dryers, and our 24/7 Micro Market curated by Trolley House, we give guests more freedom to live their way while on the road.

Whether you’re here for work, relocation, or temporary housing, you don’t have to sacrifice the comfort of a great meal shared outdoors.

✨ Cook. Connect. Relax. That’s the YourSpace way.
