When I visited NY recently I found that hotel pricing was competitive with AirBnB.

Some people prefer AirBnB so they can feel like they live in the cities they're visiting, this certainly sucks for them.

This didn't used to be the case, so you can thank Airbnb in part for finding a reasonably priced hotel room.

Indeed!

No it's not. Given equal pricing, I unequivocally prefer hotels.

But hotels in NYC are insanely expensive. Please tell me where I can find a hotel for <$60 a night that is not infested with bedbugs/rats/cockroaches/smoke.

And that's the key, isn't it, "competitive with..." Now the hotels won't have to compete anymore. I think you know what happens next.
