Now operating 393 properties in 38 states, Extended Stay ranked last year on the Forbes magazine list of the 100 fastest-growing companies in the United States.

The company reported it opened 30 properties during the year ended Dec. 31 at a total cost of about $256 million or an average of $8.3 million per hotel.
