AirBNB is great for when you're staying in center-city. I've found the nightly rates to be $100s of dollars cheaper than a hotel in many cases. I haven't used it in at least 5 years though so my guess is it's gotten more expensive.

quote:

I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing out on by being fairly utilitarian about my hotel accommodations... like, other than I guess the bed being a bit softer, a bigger room, and maybe a continental breakfast or more expansive (and wildly expensive) room service, what's the advantage? If we're mostly planning on being out and about during the day, is it just nicer surroundings to come back to? Just doesn't seem to justify the multiplicative increase in price.

I don't think you're missing out on accommodations by being utilitarian, the nicer hotels are all about convenience. Some people prefer the 24/7 front-lobby, gym, pool, business center to print out your boarding pass, shuttle to airport, etc. Travel can be very hectic and stressful for people, and having conveniences like these puts a lot of people at ease.
