A gentle reminder -- this is a hotel. If you are the kind of person who can regularly spend nearly 1/3 of your nights living in a hotel where you don't have a kitchen, a (real) fridge, carefully selected and arranged furniture, wardrobe, game console/musical instruments/etc, good for you, maybe should even consider a job as a consultant. To most people it is a horrible idea.

Funnily enough, Google offices provide these to employees.

A lot of people used to live out of hotels. During the gilded age, a lot of rich people would do that, like Tesla (well, he wasn't rich by then, but had a rich benefactor). Short stays in inns probably weren't common until the 20th century.
