Guest room refrigerators, microwaves, coffee makers, cooktops, and other appliances can present usability challenges depending on their location, controls, door operation, installation height, and surrounding cabinetry.

Hotels should consider how guests will reach, open, operate, and understand the appliance within the completed room, not simply whether the appliance physically fits the specified space. This becomes especially important in extended-stay rooms and suites where guests interact with appliances much more frequently.
