I came here to say this and you beat me to it. I'd rather pay a few extra bucks a night, get a free breakfast, and not have to worry about doing a bunch of crap like loading a dishwasher before leaving (lest I get a poor rating). In some cases, I'm finding hotels are actually cheaper. My experience is mostly in the US, but I also stayed at a few hotels in England (shoutout to the Holiday Inn next to Luton airport) and was happy with those as well.

Absolutely. Airbnb is great if you want a really unusual stay. Like a treehouse in the Scottish highlands. It should corner that market.

But if you just want an apartment, go stay in a nice hotel.

I stayed at https://another.place in the English Lakes and it was delightful, and only slightly more expensive than an AirBnb in the same area. And like you say... I got breakfast included. Maybe hoteliers will see this as a sign that the pendulum is swinging back if they up their game.

When I live somewhere for three months, I need a kitchen.

If a hotel offered a kitchen be fine, but they do not.

Hotels and AirBnB are only interchangeable if you're looking at a hotel-length stay.
