Extended Stay Chain Files For Bankruptcy, But That Won't Affect You

June 15, 2009 at 1:52 PM | by Jenna | 0 Comments

Today in hotel industry bummer news: Extended Stay Hotels — they of the really funny and sometimes creepy-gross commercials — has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

There are over 650 Extended Stay properties in North America, but even though the bankruptcy has been splashed across headlines all morning, the company (operated by HVM) promises the proceedings will have no impact on operations of the hotel chain and its brands, including Extended Stay America, Extended Stay Deluxe, Homestead Studio Suites Hotels, StudioPLUS Deluxe Studios and Crossland Economy Studios.

So it's all good from the guest side: reps say "all hotels are open and welcoming guests as usual," and there are no plans to either close or sell any of the hotels. Everything is still open and available for you to lick.

The New Extended Stay Hotels Ad is a Gas

September 16, 2008 at 1:52 PM | by Jenna | 4 Comments

Good lord. The Extended Stay brand is at it again.

Remember the chick-licking-everything-in-the-room video that was supposed to imply that an Extended Stay guestroom is exceptionally clean?

Behold their newest foray into gross-out advertising: the one minute and three second fart joke that is the latest Extended Stay Hotels commercial.

The words "hotbox" and "dutch oven" come to mind, but do you know what doesn't come to mind? Comfort, now that we can clearly visualize the chick in white PJ's who slept in this bed before us farting straight into the pillow we're resting our pretty faces on. Vom.

How Many Licks Does It Take To Get to the Bottom of an Extended Stay Hotel Toilet?

August 6, 2008 at 11:30 AM | by Jenna | 4 Comments

Oh, ew. Also: oh, AWESOME. Extended Stay Hotels has apparently produced the all-out creepfest masterpiece above, which manages to simultaneously achieve the titles of the greatest and most foul hotel commercial we've ever come across.

So many questions! First: WTF? Second: creepy, right? And third: the thought of licking a hotel room remote is roughly on par with the thought of licking a toilet seat. Oh wait, she did that too.

Like we said, tip your housekeeper just in case hot girls licking every surface in a hotel room becomes a trend.

Also, something interesting was pointed out by one of the BoingBoing commenters: "Notice that her hair, which falls in the bowl, is still dry when she raises her head. That leads me to believe that it is a new, never used model that is just a prop." Great. But somehow we still feel kind of skeeved.

So, we hope this satisfies that MSNBC columnist who complained about how boring hotel ads have become. Are you happy now?
