I can guarantee you can get a pretty nice hotel for less than that without bullshit fees. Anyone still using Airbnb or any of the other short term rentals deserve what they get.
Sure, but this is 2 guests unless they’re planning on lying about it. In which case, double whammy when they get hit with another fee for extra people.
Sorry it wasn’t a rebuttal. Rather, I was agreeing thatvfor situations like this a hotel is better, bit it’s hard to match AirBnB when you want to sleep lots of people in one place.
Lots of hotels tack on “amenity fees” or “resort fees” separate from those. It’s pretty obnoxious, especially since they don’t show them to you til you’re halfway through booking.
Parking (at a remote resort with no other reasonable way of accessing) comes to mind as one of the bullshit’ish fees I’ve had to pay, but most of the rest are usually fees passed up from the municipality etc
Around 2004-5 I regularly stayed at a large chain hotel near Tucson airport (something like Doubletree, but I’m not sure if it was that one). They charged a daily fee for the phone in your room. Not for using it, mind you, just for the phone being there. And no, they did not have rooms without phones.
Last week I stayed in a hotel for 3 days at a said and done price that was still about $100 cheaper than this 2 night Airbnb’s base price, not even adding in their fees.

The major thing that keeps me from trying Airbnb is the fact that you have to clean up after yourself. I go on vacation to relax, not clean.
Also bedbugs.
Why clean, if you’re gonna pay a cleaning fee anyway? Do they send the AirBNB police after you?
In general, AirBnB is where we get places where we want to sleep 10 or 12 in one place.

Not for this one but when you say anyone… families get a better deal with Airbnb than hotels generally.
Are you kidding? It’s totally common for hotels to charge 50 bucks a night in bullshit fees
I have never had a hotel charge bullshit fees. Rental rate and tax are all I have ever paid.

Big city mandatory valet comes to my mind.

Ok? That tells us nothing without comparing location, etc.
