I have to agree with the tiny room issue ...
I once remember spending the night somewhere in the French countryside, in a hotel from a chain starting with "I" ... The hotel wasn't expensive, but that wasn't the only small thing.. The TV was something like 17'', the bed was for 2, but as small as possible. The pillows were smaller, the bathroom sink was 1/2 the size of what you'd expect. Even the tub, you would only be able to take a bath inside if you're 5ft or less...

And of course, the rest went with it: terrible breakfast, and it was located along the freeway.

While there was no restaurant there, there was one next door. The food wasn't quite edible, but, when you're hungry...

I also have memories of a very distinctive hotel in Lausanne, Switzerland. While it was definitely outdated, it was kind of interesting... From the colors and equipment, I'd date it 1979 (I was there last year). Pink carpet with black dots, pink walls, the radio was a fixed, brushed aluminium unit, with 3 preprogrammed stations ! Of, and I nearly forgot the "Made in USA" bottle opener attached to the bathroom's wall !
