“Surely this is a commentary on our times.”

Not to be a naysayer, but “no it isn’t”.

Motels, hotels, and Holiday Inns have always tried (or “tried”) to recreate some of the comforts of home, as those comforts between more ubiquitous in actual homes. Witnesses the oft-seen signs on motels for:

“Telephone”
“TV”
“Color TV”
“Free HBO”
“Free high-speed Internet”
