     This Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment No. 1") amends and restates the
initial statement on Schedule 13D, dated December 19, 1995 (the "Statement"), of
George D. Johnson, Jr. relating to the common stock, par value $.01 per share
(the "Common Stock"), of Extended Stay America, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"). The Statement is amended and restated in its entirety as set
forth below.


ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

     This Statement relates to the Common Stock of the Company. The principal
executive offices of the Company are located at 450 E. Las Olas Boulevard, Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida 33301. All references in this Statement to Common Stock,
including prices per share, reflect a 2-for-1 stock split effected as a dividend
on July 19, 1996.


ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

     (a)-(c) and (f).  This Statement is being filed by George D. Johnson, Jr.
("Mr. Johnson") and GDJ, Jr. Investments Limited Partnership, a Nevada limited
partnership (the "Limited Partnership"). Mr. Johnson's principal occupation is
as President, Chief Executive Officer, and director of the Company. Mr.
Johnson's business address is 450 E. Las Olas Boulevard, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
33301. Mr. Johnson is a citizen of the United States of America. Mr. Johnson
owns 99% of the limited partnership interests of the Limited Partnership. The
remaining 1% is held by the Limited Partner's general partner, GDJ, Jr.
Investment Corporation, a Nevada corporation, of which Mr. Johnson owns 100% of
the issued and outstanding capital stock.

     (d)-(e).  During the past five years, neither of the Reporting Persons has
(i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial
or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result was or is
subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or
prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities
laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.


ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     The descriptions set forth below of the S.H.J. Trust Loan Documents, the
D.G.J. Trust Loan Documents, the J.C.J. Trust Loan Documents, and the S.B.J.
Trust Loan Documents (all as hereinafter defined) are qualified in their
entirety by reference to such documents, copies of which are attached as
Exhibits 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively, to the Statement and which are
incorporated herein by reference.

     Concurrently with the closing on December 19, 1995 of its initial public
offering of 10,120,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Initial Public Offering"),
the Company sold to its existing stockholders on a pro rata basis, for $25.0
million, 4,135,650 shares of Common Stock for $6.045 per share, such price being
the Initial Public Offering price per share less underwriting discounts and
commissions (the "Concurrent Offering"). In the Concurrent Offering, Mr. Johnson
purchased 504,342 shares of Common Stock with his personal funds and the
following shareholders each purchased 7,894 shares of Common Stock: the Stewart
H. Johnson, Jr. Trust (the "S.H.J. Trust"); the David G. Johnson Trust (the
"D.G.J. Trust"); the Jamie C. Johnson Trust (the "J.C.J. Trust"); and the Susan
B. Johnson Trust (the "S.B.J. Trust") The S.H.J. Trust, D.G.J. Trust, J.C.J.
