Extended Stay America

Charlotte, N.C.-based hotel company Extended Stay America (ESA) began its franchising program just last year, opening up a brand that had been entirely corporate owned since 2007. The midscale extended-stay company currently owns 599 of its properties, with a further 27 franchised. ESA recently launched an associate-focused mobile app, MyESA, designed to strengthen the hotel’s relationship with its team members by offering exclusive content and reward opportunities. The app is able to quickly disseminate information to more than 8,500 associates across its U.S. hotels.
