Extended Stay America, Inc.

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida 33394

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                      REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1

     We have represented Extended Stay America, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the preparation of a registration statement
on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement"), filed under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, for the purpose of registering 1,725,000 shares of common
stock, $.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (the "Shares") to be
sold by the Company to a group of underwriters pursuant to an underwriting
agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement"), which Shares include 225,000 shares of
Common Stock which may be issued by the Company pursuant to an over-allotment
option granted to the underwriters. In this connection, we have examined
originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of
such documents, corporate and other records, certificates and other papers as we
deemed it necessary to examine for the purpose of this opinion, including the
Registration Statement, the form of Underwriting Agreement and pertinent
resolutions of the board of directors of the Company.

     Based upon such examination, it is our opinion that the Shares are legally
authorized and, upon issuance and delivery thereof to the underwriters in
accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the receipt by the
Company of the purchase price therefor, will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

     We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the references made to us in the Prospectus forming a part of
the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are
within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the
Securities Act of 1933.

                                       Very truly yours,


                                       /s/ Bell, Boyd & Lloyd
