In this episode, we sit down with Michael Schlottman, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Extended Stay America, to explore how ESA has become a trusted housing resource for travel healthcare professionals across the country.

Michael shares details about ESA’s exciting new partnership and their availability on the Marketplace, making it easier than ever for travelers to find reliable, comfortable housing while on assignment. He also reflects on ESA’s 9-year legacy at TravCon—as the first hotel chain to ever exhibit—and why the company continues to show up for the traveling healthcare community year after year.

We also dive into what makes ESA a great fit for travelers, including flexible stays, nationwide locations, and traveler-friendly amenities like full kitchens, on-site laundry, pet accommodations, and more.

Stick around for a fun “This or That” rapid-fire round to get to know Michael on a more personal level—and find out whether he prefers early check-in or late check-out!
