Both
variants are correct and can be used as the verb to
enjoy requires either a noun or a gerund after it.
In the first sentence stay is a noun, in
the second one staying is a gerund. There is
just a slight difference in meaning: stay means
the fact and staying
means the process of being somewhere.

I almost agree with daisy, except for the word "your" in the second one. Yes, it would be correct to say "I hope you (not u. THis is not a text message) will enjoy staying here", but adding "your" changes it. Bruce |
