My wife and I will be doing the digital nomad thing starting in November. Of course our default idea was staying in AirBnbs.
Since last June when things started getting back to normal and I started traveling for business, we have been traveling between business and personal about once a month, staying in hotels - mostly Embassy Suites.
We stayed in an Airbnb for 3 weeks in May to both take care of some personal business (finding our winter nesting place) and to see how we liked the experience.
While the experience was fine and it was easy enough, we realized that we would like mid range extended stay hotels like Homewood Suites, Home2Suites and Hyatt House/Hyatt Place better.
- we deal with a business and professionals and not amateurs
- we get more consistency and we have someone on site if things go wrong.
- we know that the hotels are legally allowed short term stays and they are set up for such.
- the hotel and credit card loyalty programs actually make hotels cheaper because of all of the free nights you can get.
- we don’t have to go through all of the hassle of reviews, cancellations, cleaning up when we leave, discrimination etc.
- housekeeping
- onsite gyms
