For large groups I suppose airbnbs are more reasonable, though it's honestly not that big of a difference in pricing for vacation rentals.

Housekeeping is easy, just put the little do not disturb sign up, they won't bug you.

I don't have an opinion on the other stuff though.

    I also didn't mention a massive difference here: full kitchen. That goes into the cost as well, since now I can cook at the rental instead of eating out.

    Hotels are fine, and we use them sometimes, but I definitely prefer airbnbs.

    Long term/ extended stay hotels exist that will provide these things. But the vast majority of people don't even consider those. They rely on what they can search up on Google for the area and algorithms don't take into account that you need to bring your dog, want a separate set of bedrooms in the same suite, or that you're looking for a kitchen.

    I see this every time AirBnB is mentioned and every time I wonder if people even know extended stay hotels exist.
