stayAPT Suites has signed a franchise agreement with Capstone Stay to develop five new locations, expanding its presence in the Midwest.
Capstone Stay will develop hotels in Rossford, Ohio; Evansville, Ind.; Gardner, Kan.; Wentzville, Missouri; and Liberty, Missouri. The initial focus will be on the first two locations in Rossford and Evansville. The expansion adds to stayAPT Suites’ pipeline, with 40 hotels expected to open by April 2025.
Each stayAPT Suites property features apartment-style accommodations with full-size kitchens, living rooms and separate bedrooms. Guestrooms include kitchen islands with seating, sleeper sofas and digital key access. Properties also offer an outdoor courtyard with a grill station, fire pit and seating, as well as on-site fitness and laundry facilities.

DeLapp, president and CEO of stayAPT Suites. “This partnership will help us bring our unique and high-quality hotel experience to new markets, offering our guests the comfort and convenience they desire while delivering a streamlined development process for our franchise partners.”
Capstone Stay’s modular construction model is designed to shorten project timelines while maintaining the brand’s design and operational standards. This method aligns with stayAPT Suites’ focus on delivering consistent guest experiences while supporting franchisees with efficient construction processes.
stayAPT Suites continues to expand in the extended-stay segment, positioning itself as a key player in the apartment-style hotel category. The partnership with Capstone Stay strengthens its ability to scale operations while maintaining its core accommodation model.
