Take a look at what Marriott is planning.

The idea, which is still in the design stage, would be rolled out in 23 Element hotels which is the chain’s eco-conscious, extended stay brand.
Guests will have their own rooms to sleep in, but they will share a kitchen, dining room and lounge area.
Bottom Line
How do you feel about this idea? At first glance at this idea, I was like what? A stranger? No. But, after reading further, I can see this being very beneficial for groups of people who know each other and are traveling together for a purpose such as a large family or a business meeting. What do you think?

Just a cheaper way to provide a full kitchen and living area, which was the original plan of Residence Inn, Homewood Suites and Element. I get that the kitchen is used perhaps 1% of the time but I really find this cringeworthy.
