As expected, since complying with fire and other safety codes, taxes, zoning rules, brand standards, and other business costs exist.
Kitchens are offered in various brands by Hilton/Marriott/IHG. I haven’t had Airport hotel land issues in big cities, but most other places restrict hotels from being in areas by restricting zoning... since residents in these places don’t want to be near hotels.
My point though, was that the hotel market seems to be operating pretty efficiently, with plenty of good choices available for consumers. Price might be higher, but most societies have decided it’s worth it to enforce certain standards upon them. This is different from how the taxi market was, where online booking, payment, and rating vastly raised the standards for everyone.
