Except that an AirBnB now typically costs more than a hotel for basic travel (a private bedroom & bathroom with wifi and maybe some basic kitchen supplies for coffee).

AirBnB also uses a bunch of dark patterns (service fees and taxes are not listed in the default nightly rate...) and you don't always get what you thought you were getting. I've been burned enough times with deceptive AirBnB listings to not trust the sticker price (hotels are typically less hassle).

I can attest to this. My wife and I are planning to rent our house out for a couple of years and become “digital nomads”. I was looking at AirBnbs in different cities. The decent ones weren’t any cheaper than a 3 star (middle of the road) Homewood Suites.

With Homewood Suites, we get a full kitchen, a gym, a pool, and a crazy amount of Hilton Points when we use their highest end credit card.

On top of that, we know what to expect.
