The difference between this and hotel room is that you are not stuck in a hotel room. Another difference between this and another shoebox condo are facilities. Yes, to some people they are useless, but to others they offer the opportunity to escape the tiny room and perhaps give the illusion that they are somehow less confined.
On the other hand this may be a good rental opportunity. The less things there are inside, the less likely are things to break. This is particularly a maintenance free rental which I wish it existed in Canada. However, people need to be realistic, This is not 5k a month rental..... maybe 2.5k rental.
