Hotel is a room, Airbnb is a home. The difference in amenities is important and when, historically, Airbnb was cheaper, it was often superior to a hotel. Nowadays, Airbnb often costs more than a hotel, and so it’s a trade-off: pay more to have a kitchen? Another aspect is per-person cost: a hotel room is typically limited to 2 people, whereas an Airbnb can be dozens, so with higher capacity requirements Airbnb can still work out cheaper.
