The Courtyard has the smallest hotel rooms I have seen in the US, and tiny lobby, and is just cramped all the way around.
A lot of this also has to do with the brand construction standards, which change almost every year depending on what emotion is running through the brand.

I remember back in the day, Hampton Inn was going to make an economy brand that only had a stand up shower and no tub and cut the size of the room by 1/3. Obviously, it never made it into production.
