I don't really like the home away from home concept, otherwise it would be more cost effective to go with an Executive Apartment which I have for some projects.
It is always a choice between Residence Inn and Staybridge for me. They are pretty comparable. I am pretty sure that Staybridge Suites have outdoor grills too.
Yes, Candlewood is a very budget product. Plus, no breakfast for an ext stay makes no sense. The thing about RI or Staybridge - I have seen - is that the product is pretty consistent in every state and the customer service also is consistent unlike other budget products.
The new Home2 is just starting - so I havent seen or heard much about them. I maybe worong, but the # of Homewoods I fell are less than RI's or Staybridges. Is Staybridge as well know as a hotel brand compared to the RI or Homewood ?
