I always see this view about hotels being cheaper but this has never been the case for me. I use Airbnbs all the time because they are cheaper (though I do like hotels better in a lot of cases). For example I am planning a road trip through CA, NV, UT, AZ and not once has a hotel room been cheaper than an Airbnb. Also the case in Australia where I live, the hotels are super expensive, easily > 150 a night for pretty low level.
