There was no apartment for temp use where I got married or at least nobody told us about a place. And neither of us lived there. A nice safe hotel is perfectly appropriate and normal. Many hotels people used to get married in included a room as part of the package.
But the funny thing is you reminded me of a story. Our friends (considerably younger) married in a large community where there is some sort of basement apartment that couples could rent for short amounts of time while their apartment was being readied. Turns out the place was gross. As I recall they were navigating newlywed time time and mold + bugs. So we ended up with a newlywed couple moving in to our basement for about 2 weeks while they relocated.
