Esp. in Houston. Unless you get some $300 a night executive suite @ the Hilton, Marriott or Sheraton you're stuck with a crappy room . I stayed @ a Hampton Inn in Houston last night %26amp; the room had none of that so I couldn't bring home my leftovers from my restuarant %26amp; had keep my sodas on ice which gets VERY messy.
Why can't refridgerators be a standard feature like the hair dryers %26amp; irons/boards. They;re not THAT expensive :((

You are looking at the wrong kind of hotel.
You need the "businessman" or "extended stay" type of hotel. These ALWAYS have fridge, micro, stove, sink, dishes, utensils, etc.
Try Spring Hill Suites or Hilton Garden. They are just a bit more expensive than Fairfield Inn or Hampton Inn, but they are better suited to your needs. Also Extended Stay America and Residence Inn.
Oddly enough, some low-cost motel chains are adding a small fridge and micro to all rooms. Knights Inn's are budget oriented. Their rooms are basic but clean. Also check out Microtel and Baymont.
My wife and I have been travelling together for nearly 40 years. We've been to all 50 states, and continue to travel. We like to have a fridge and micro in our rooms, too.

Yes, but people trash them all the time. Only the expensive places can afford to keep them up and replace them often. Refrigerators may not be much money but they do use a lot of energy too. I just wish the cheaper hotels would wash their comforters every time someone checks out and buy some decent sheets and pillows. Gross!

They probably want you to eat in their restaurant.
In just about any motel, if there isn't a micorwave oven in the room, you can use the one where the continental breakfast area is.

Unfortunately, if hotel rooms contain fridges and microwaves, they stop becoming hotels, and become self catering apartments. Hotels want you to use their restaurants, so no microwaves.
Try looking for self-catering apartments. You may find something more to your liking.

It comes down to the Star rating of the hotel. 1-star and 2-star motels/hotels generally have fridges. Before making a reservation, call and ask. Mariott Fairfield Inn's always have fridges/microwaves (or at least one) along with Howard Johnson hotels.
3-star and above --- unless it's a wet bar fridge, they want you to order room service, use the hotel restaurant, etc.
These are additional avenues of profit to the hotel. It also cuts cost by allowing maids to clean faster; along with potential hidden food odors.
