Is there ever a scenario where it makes sense to book a hotel room using Airbnb? IME, not really. Hotel web site first, then Airbnb if I'm staying in a place where there are no hotels. Third choice is booking.com, which has the ability to book motels in some small towns I frequent that don't show up anywhere else, and the motels use booking.com as their sole room management system.
