That's an excellent point. I had an extended stay at a Summerfield Suite back in 2002, and they had a VCR in the room, which is an excellent feature I haven't seen replicated at any other extended stay hotels. I know they want you to buy their overpriced movies and all, but I think a VCR / DVD player would be better recieved by guests, especially those with kids.
