Which would be 100% of the hotels I've been in over the last 5 years.
The last hotel I was in that had a microwave available to the guests
was a SleepInn in Beckley, WV - there was one in the lobby/snack area.

All the rest have been those towering, downtown monstrosities that are
so often frequented by professional conferences. Coffee pots in the
rooms, but no microwaves. Of course, if I wanted to pay more for the
room....
