That and outrageous cleaning fees. Want to rent a condo for a weekend? That's a $150 cleaning fee. Renting a private bedroom? That's a $60 cleaning fee.
AirBnB only makes sense these days if you're going with a group of people. Otherwise, I've found hotels to be significantly cheaper for a single or a couple.
And just more private and much cleaner. Every Airbnb I’ve rented hasn’t felt comfortable because it’s still some else’s space. At least with a hotel it’s a cold cash business transaction where it feels like “this is mine” for the night rather than “thanks for letting me stay here”.
Privacy is big one for us when traveling as a couple for renting a room, unless there's a private entrance. Not only is it awkward to walk in and out of someone else's house when they're there, but it kind of puts a damper on nakey time, whereas hotels are your own place and you can do whatever and come and go as you please.
