The ones I see around here[1] specifically advertise having full kitchens. Both on their local signage and on their website.

Those are relatively nice weekly/monthly hotels. That's not where the desperately poor go. There are ~$30/night extended stay motels but the quality is what you'd expect. No fridge, no cooking, heat/AC doesn't work, very filty.
