Either lower your expectations or stay in better hotels. There might be an exception is you're traveling to remote areas of developing countries where nothing else is available, but then you might want to question whether you really need to visit such places. If someone else (your employer or perhaps a conference organizer) is picking such hotels, you need to renegotiate terms.
