Hotel Keys of Hope Program

In 2013, with a passion to support a charitable cause so close to the hearts of its employees, Extended Stay America created Hotel Keys of Hope program to support the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge program, forever changing the lives of those in need of lifesaving cancer treatments away from home.

To date, Extended Stay America has donated over 85,000 hotel stays in locations throughout the US, and helped more than 12,000 patients and their families overcome the financial stress of travelling for treatment.

The Hotel Keys of Hope program has pledged a total of 150,000 free or deeply discounted rooms so that an estimated 15,000 cancer patients and their caregivers can save over $5 million in lodging cost and get access to potentially lifesaving cancer treatment.

Over $5 million in lodging cost savings to an estimated 15,000 cancer patients while getting potentially lifesaving treatment from cancer.

“Taking care of people is what we do best,” said Tom Buoy, Extended Stay America's Executive Vice President, Marketing and Revenue Management. “So we are truly delighted to be able to give back to the many communities in which we operate by providing the Hotel Keys of Hope program to cancer patients, thus creating a stay that makes a difference.”
