Do you prefer an Airbnb or a hotel when traveling?

[Dhaval Taylor]

Since the pandemic hit in late March, many are not sure how they feel about staying at hotels or short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and Tripadvisor Rentals. Airbnb, with 7.7 million active listings, is a strong competitor against the 16.4 million hotel rooms worldwide. Cleanliness, safety, and price are all factors we take into account when booking our trips. 

-What amenities do you like or would like to see when staying in an airbnb? (Hair-dryer, Stocked fridge, water bottles, etc)

-Over the past year have you utilized hotels or platforms like Airbnb more?

Any feedback is appreciated

I prefer to stay at a hotel.  Call me old fashioned, and I know what I'm getting when I book at a certain hotel brand.  It makes for a more uniform and predictable experience.
