"the hotel cartel is intent on short-sheeting the middle class so they can keep price-gouging consumers,"

Well... maybe. After staying in about 10 airbnbs total, I'd generally prefer a hotel room.

* Hotels are generally clean. I still always check them before I get into them, but I've yet to find a hotel with "gross" sheets. I don't worry much about the showers either

* Hotels have parking! This is nice for the driver in me

* Hotels are safe. The door locks and general consensus that cameras are not good help me sleep better

* Hotels are generally somewhat flexible with room changes if they have availability

That all said, you're going to have to pay >$100/night to get that level of service from a hotel but that works for me




It's really what you pay for.
