You're thinking of budget hotels, but there's a smaller market of higher end "bed and breakfast" or "inn" style hotels that offer more amenities like an Airbnb but with less regulatory discretion. Those used to be way more expensive than airbnbs but now they're pretty similar. I imagine this is heavily regional though since community-level short term rental legislation is obviously driven by the desires of the specific community advocating for it.
