I have more mixed experiences. The space is indeed usually bigger than a hotel. Whether it's cleaner and nicer is mixed. I would say housekeeping is not as consistent as a good hotel chain, though it is not usually too bad. Non-sleeping amenities are usually a bit better (good chance of some couches, decent kitchen, etc.), while bed is usually a bit worse. However the part that is really more of a hassle (in my fairly limited experience, again) is check-in and check-out: you really have to be much more diligent about exchanging phone numbers, arranging meet-up times, and double-checking everything, to avoid showing up at a location where there's nobody waiting for you. Whereas with a hotel you can just show up and there's a front desk.
