Will likely be in the ~$150 USD per night range.

Most hotel rooms will have a hotel-sized fridge, but I can't recall seeing microwaves in any of them. Food is so readily available and reasonably priced, there doesn't seem much demand, especially with good lounge options.
Is this related to dietary restrictions or something?

For week + stays in Thailand, I have left Marriott and just rent a condo locally. I am usually in the Pattaya area and for ~$50 USD there are nice, high-quality options with full kitchen, great pools, walkable to beach, etc.

I am sure similar options exist in other popular areas.
