6 Reasons Airbnbs are Better than Hotels

In This Article:

Hotels are a pain in the butt. They're expensive and it's hard to find one that has a great location plus everything you need at a great price. It's time to ditch the hotels and start using Airbnb.

1. Price

For the price of a hotel you can rent a whole house. Why pay more for a room when you can get a whole house? Also you can rent a bedroom at a house usually between $30-$50 which is way cheaper than even most motels.

2. The Amenities

At a hotel you sometimes get a dinky hair dryer and a coffee maker. If you're really lucky you might get a microwave or minifridge. With Airbnb you can rent a place that has a whole kitchen you can use and a hair dryer that won't take you all morning to dry your hair with.

3. Personalized Filters

Hotels are pretty standard when it comes to what they have to offer. With Airbnb though you can personalize your experience and find a place that usually fits all your needs and desires. With all the different filters you can apply to your search it is so much easier to find the perfect place to stay at.

4. You're Helping Everyday People

Staying at a hotel you're only giving money to someone who already has so much. By staying in an Airbnb you're helping a family be able to make extra money or help a college kid afford their basic needs. It's like shopping in a local store rather than a nationwide chain store.

5. Check In Is A Breeze

There is no waiting in lines, there's no waiting for a room to be ready, at most places you just show up and that is the extent to checking in. It allows you to relax and get down to business a lot sooner than most hotels.

6. There Usually Aren't Other Guests

With Airbnb you can choose to book at a place where it will just be you staying there. It's very relaxing to be able to come back to a place and have it feel like you're basically at home.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
