I have the opposite experience. After several bad experiences with hotels I 'm mostly using Airbnb. Fewer issues.



What sort of issues do you have at hotels that you don't have at Airbnbs?


One time a hotel - which I had fully paid for a week earlier - kept badgering us for money throughout our stay. They said that we had been given too low of a rate due to some error. The rate wasn't even low, they were just trying to scam us. Furthermore, they had our booking for 1 week and they chose not to contact us about the issue until we arrived (making it really infeasible to change hotels on such a short notice).

Another time our hotel room was smelling like a sewer and the hotel refused to fix the issue or move us to another room.

Just two examples there. Hotels are generally awful.
