Even have grills out there you can use to grill if you like.
For me the biggest issue with extended travel is eating fat and salt in restaurants so a good kitchen really helps.
Homewoods are more upscale than Staybridges , I feel. Staybridge also has free dinner Mon-Thu, I think , plus a full kitchenette. And in general, Homewoods are more expensive than Staybridges.
