The prices for both of them are within pennys of each other for the same
class room, starting at about $65.

The reviews you quoted were 2 1/2 years old.  The more current reviews
which are listed under the name Homestead Studio Suites are much more
favorable. Both H.S.S and E.S.A get a mixture of good and bad reviews.

In fact, the average rating for H.S.S is a slightly higher than the
average for Extended Stay (3.1 of 5 on 7 ratings versus 3.0 of 5 on 11
ratings).

Both of them are fairly far down in the overall trip advisor ranking,
but the higher ranked ones cost twice as much and more.

All in all, I think it is a toss up between them and will wait for
Michael to give us a report from the local viewpoint.
