WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham
WaterWalk Extended Stay by Wyndham franchises upscale extended stay hotels that offer a mix of furnished and unfurnished studio, one-, and two-bedroom units with hotel-like services, amenities such as a fitness center, game room, outdoor space, and a proprietary sundry shop. The business model involves licensing the WaterWalk System—including proprietary marks, operational standards, training, and reservation systems—for both new construction and select conversion properties. It targets conventional extended stay guests and the temporary housing market as an alternative to rental apartments and other upscale lodging options.
