Some of my favorites are CUU, TYR, and GRK and theres something for everyone. I hate the typical hotel by the highway with a gas station and nothing else we tend to stay at.
I agree that location does matter. But my point was we left a very nice hotel that gave crews everything they'd want for a 'nicer' hotel at the same location that gave crews nothing.
As far as your examples go? CUU, that's in Mexico. The fridge/microwave thing is kinda a moot point when traveling through TSA. But they do have an AWESOME free breakfast and I have no problems with the van. Gym kinda sucks but the location makes up for it (I end up doing a lot of walking anyway). TYR, no problems at all. Has all I want and in a good location. GRK? I've done a lot of turns there. I don't remember if I've ever overnighted.
