Outside design sure looks very *W element like. Interior kind of *W aloft like. Rooms look a little too small for an extended stay to me. Overall kind of a disappointment when compared to the *W element Extended Stay concept IMHO.
Agreemens have been signed for hotels in New York City, N.Y., Baltimore/White Marsh, Md., Charlotte, N.C., Jacksonville, N.C., Gadsden, Ala., Alabaster, Ala., Elko, Nev., and three hotels in San Antonio, Texas.
