I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Extended Stay America (East Syracuse, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
Weird lady who wouldn't give eye contact so it was very awkward She Really didn't ask a lot of questions she just stood in the air like a Alien until I got hired
there's a face-to-face interview with the general manager then they do a background check. Corporate does the background check to make sure you don't have a criminal record for stealing.
Other than the twenty-minute wait in the lobby, it was a fairly quick interview. The manager cuts to the chase but remains respectful of boundaries and such. I was told I was hired the day after.
