I prefer hotels too, for much the same reasons you mention. I've had a couple of bad experiences with AirBnBs, including one with no smoke detectors and the wall opposite the fuse box feeling hot to the touch. Hotels are a more consistent experience and there is a baseline of quality and service that you can rely on. Refunds or room exchanges are easier when there are problems (the AirBnB resolution process is stressful when there is the potential for conflict with the host), plus you get charged when you checkout, not having to pay the full amount in advance when you book.
