Hi,
1: In “Neither of the lights”, “Neither” is the real subject, which is singular.
2: Extended Stay Hotels is a name, hence singular. First alphabet of each word is capital, making it a name. If it were Extended Stay hotels, it would have been a plural noun.

1. As Doer01 mentioned, I think they're looking at Extended Stay Hotels as a name. This is very strange, as a lot of hotels are categorized as "extended stay", in which case we'd definitely go plural. Maybe they've just set this (contrived) example up to drive home the overall message?
2. Here neither acts as a pronoun, but the rules that apply to some of, any of, most of... don't apply to neither of (neither of can be followed by only a plural noun). Neither of + plural noun takes a singular verb. Although this is changing rapidly, it is what you should apply on the GMAT.
