I don't find Homewood to be any more "upscale" than a Staybridge. I've stayed at both plenty of times. The Las Vegas Staybridge Suites - since it was built to a timeshare that never opened - is more upscale than any property of either chain.
So, would you think that Staybridge is more comparable to Homewood rather than the Home2 ?The Home2 is a very new product and I am not sure how popular it is.

But one upscale extended stay that I think is very contemporary and cool is the Element by Westin. But they dont seem to be much popular unlike the well established names like Homewood, RI or Staybridge.
