Suite hotels have all that except maybe the washing machine and are often pretty comparable in price to "regular" hotel rooms. Those tend to be my preference although I use the refrigerator more than the rest of the kitchen.

I have not found this to be the case at all. Getting a suite with a kitchen usually involves paying a large premium to a regular hotel room.

They don't mean upgrading to a suite at a "regular" hotel; there are chains specializing in renting out "home-style" rooms ("extended-stay" is the industry term, I believe), and I've seen them referred to suite hotels sometimes.

The biggest chains have these sub-brands in the space, based off three minutes of googling/wikiing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staybridge_Suites

https://www.hyatt.com/development/ourbrands/hyatthouse

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homewood_Suites_by_Hilton

I never stayed at one, so can't comment how accurate the OP was re/price.

I was thinking of those options too. I do tend to look for them when I'm searching for hotel rooms.

I've never seen an extended-stay hotel in a neighborhood that I would visit for leisure. They're usually in pretty ugly, utilitarian spots - off a cloverleaf or behind a strip mall - serving business travelers.

Right. Residence Inn is one of my goto brands. Not always certainly but I tend to be staying at mid-rangeish hotels anyway and Residence is usually in that band, especially outside of downtowns.
