Theres been only a couple times in my life where I considered an AirBnB over a motel/hotel.

Every time I ended up staying at the Hotel/Motel, because it ended up being cheaper.

I remember looking at an airbnb that was like 25 dollars a night, and went to check out.. and had to do a fucking comic book double take because the 25 dollars a night (was only needing it for one night) ended up being like 250 dollars thanks to bullshit cleaning fees and other exploitative, hidden bullshit.

So if that 25 dollar a night place is now being displayed as 250 dollars a night.. then I forsee AirBnB bookings plummeting.

the motel I ended up at instead was only 75 bucks all in, just as point of reference.

  • Are you traveling alone? If so, that makes a ton of sense.

    I've had a really good experience w/ airbnbs, but we generally go as larger groups (i.e. 2-3 families, so 10 or so people). We check the fees and whatnot before signing up so there are no surprises, and generally speaking, it ends up cheaper for us vs a hotel.

    For me it was about the tiny houses attched to the back of peoples properties in the forests and mountains. Hotels can’t compete with finding a spot out nature way.

    But after finding out about the DOGE shit i wont eber be using them again.
