Airbnb vs. Hotels: the Reverse of the Anna Karenina’s Principle

All hotels suck alike; each awesome AirBnb is awesome in its own unique way!

Who uses hotels anyways? Why?

I can only think of several corner cases:

• Beach — often no Airbnbs there
• Last minute motel
• One night only — easier to check in into a hotel

In every other way a properly chosen Airbnb is strictly superior option. Plus, arguably (and I am of that opinion), Airbnb is good for the community.
