Has anyone taken a motel and did STR with any success?

This motel is not an urban motel that is ridden with crime. This is a motel in the mountains and typical guests are economy travelers. Units are about 200-300sqft and I'm thinking about putting in a tiny kitchenette, a breakfast table and chairs for two, and a murphy bed, and TV. I haven't seen any STR units that are as small as a motel room with very little amenities. At that point, I'm afraid that the guest might not find value above a traditional motel. The value that I can provide a guest above a traditional motel might be - better unit finish and furnishings, better clientele in the community, and more personalized service. Also, all units will be STR, and no motel guests.

Curious as to hear if anyone had any success doing STR in very small spaces that may not offer much more than a traditional hotel/motel.
