But Choice Hotels already has Mainstay Suites to rival Towneplace and Candlewood. They have Suburban Extended Stay as their bottom of the barrel extended stay brand. Why else would they do this? They don't even have a Homewood Suites/Residence Inn/Staybridge Suites/Hyatt House rival, which is stupid. I've seen a Woodspring here in Asheville, NC-it's more on the level of Extended Stay America (and ESA is crap).
