Cooktops vs Ranges for Extended Stay Property

I have a 30 unit motel that is currently all long term tenants. I'm planning on doing updates to the kitchen as tenants leave and possibly doing more short-term rentals. The rooms currently have standard 30" (and a few 24") electric ranges. I noticed that other local extended stay places only have 2 burner cooktops. 

Would you keep the ranges or switch to cooktops during renovations? I figure the cooktops would be easier cleanup + less cooking residue but I may detract from long-term renters in the case I keep things as long-term.
