From my personal experience, Airbnb's tend to be a minimum of 15-20% cheaper than 3 star hotel prices. Often times those Airbnb's will offer a 5 star experience.
I enjoy hotels, and the convenience, but I prefer nice Airbnb's for the following reasons:
1) full kitchen
2) more privacy
3) much cheaper
4) often times helped by host
5) get a taste of actually living in a neighborhood at your destination
