> It's not like there's zero chance of negligence at a proper hotel, but yeah the odds should be better. If you're staying at the Sheraton, there may be negligence but you can be confident that there will be proper insurance. Much more common than a fire would be theft. My friend was staying at the Shangri-La in Paris for his honeymoon. The porter took his bags while he was checking in, and their bags were stolen right out front the hotel. The hotel apologized profusely, upgraded them to a very nice suite, and they got something like EUR 5000 for their belongings. He had a camera but mostly it was just their clothes (and suitcases) that they had to replace. Hotels are like the opposite of Comcast or United. There is a lot of competition. They are literally called the Service Industry. AirBnb's offer a lot that hotels don't (charm, locations, potentially cost), but security and consistency is not it.
