Part of the reason for the rise of AirBnB is that hotels suck too:

"Your $225 per night hotel", oh sorry, all those rooms are booked, we do still have these $250 per night rooms though...
Oh, you didn't want to be next to the ice machine and hear that crunch sound all night? There's another room here but that will be $275...
Not next to the elevators? Well, there's this $300 room down the hall
Yes, the room has a mini-fridge. Oh, we didn't tell you but it's 100% full of overpriced things, and if you touch one you bought it. No, there's no way to put your own things in the fridge.
Oh, you wanted to use the TV? Well, we have HotelTV and every time you turn it on it goes to the HotelTV channel, you can get all the local TV stations too. HDMI? No, sorry, we don't have that feature.
Of course we offer a free "continental breakfast", it's offered between 4:35 and 5:20 AM, and consists of reconstituted dehydrated eggs, malk, cereal, taste-free muffins, and pancakes. We're out of pancakes.
Internet? Of course we offer Internet. Just sign on to this captive portal and you can use Google. Send emails? You should be able to get to gmail... Play games? You mean like backgammon? I think we have a backgammon set in the back here. VPN? That sounds like hacking...

None it's this is remotely true of the vast majority of hotels. I stay in hotels 30 to 40 nights a year and, yea, just no. Most of it's the opposite. Oh this room is booked, here is a nicer room for the same cost. Oh we have plenty of rooms, here is a huge discount. A mini fridge, cool. Place to put your left overs. Very few have in room anymore, unless it's like a Vegas resort. And even most of them don't any more. And cost wise, your still high. I stay in Orange county near Laguna Beach multiple times a year. The last place I stayed was 155 a night, for a nice room 20 minutes from the beach. They upgraded me to a double room suite the last 2 nights for free because the toilet stuffed up. I stay in Montana regularly and the place there is 260 a night, but it a King suite with a hot tub in the room. So, worth it. Yea, there are times I slum it and pay 40 or 50 a night, and it isn't great, but on average I think I pay around 125 a night in almost every state in the West. Hell last year I spent a week in Atlanta and it was 85 a night. Great place too.

Not to mention that AirBnB doesn’t give me “points” to stay nights for free. So if you travel for work especially you basically squander your money away. AirBnB only makes sense if you’re a group of people and even then my last trip with them ended up being one where I regretted just not paying for me and my friends to stay in individual hotel rooms because it would have been cheaper and more convenient for parking and amenities.

Oh God yes, I get rooms free all the time.
