Because for the same quality, hotels are easily 3x the price. Consistently.

This has not been consistently true for me. Maybe for long-term stays (week+), but certainly not for for a day or two after adding in all of the cleaning fees, etc.

It may be true if you have a large family and stay for a while. A 4-5 bedroom house would be a lot cheaper (and more convenient) than 4-5 hotel rooms.

Of course, large families are the exception not the rule nowadays.

Personally I don’t have a large family and the inconsistently with Airbnb means we don’t use it often at all.

I traveled extensively in 2021 and routinely I can find weekend stays on Airbnb, for the entire place, between 250 to 350. Two star Hotels (la quinta, HIE, etc) routinely want 400-600+. It's total insanity.

Where are you traveling that hotel rooms are that expensive!? Up and down the US east coast, there are plenty of perfectly good two-queen-bed rooms for under $100 per night. I recently stayed in downtown Boston in a boutique hotel for $130/night and the surrounding hotels were all under $175/night.

What hotel is this? If you don't mind me asking.
