I was amazed at the type of motel I stayed in back in 2008 when I went to Canada. Kitchens and balconies or decks. Pretty much unknown in the U.K.
Of course I’d had plenty of experience of self catered accommodation on holiday - sometimes purpose built but mostly normal cottages that were simply rented out.
Airbnb and similar systems just reduced the friction of finding and transacting self catered accommodation, and the increasing trend for city breaks delivered a growing market.
