There are a few mini-hotels - properties with more than one room. How many are corporate owned is undetermined. This guy is just bitter about something, perhaps rightfully so.

Or maybe just vote manipulation.

Incorrect. Most of AirBnBs profit comes from units that do not have the owner present. Aka a hotel.

Not only is that not the definition of hotel, you seem to think this carries a negative connotation?

Yes, that's a hotel. You have "home-sharing" and hotels. Just because it's a single house does not make it less of a hotel.

More than a few. Check out AirBnB listing in Miami Beach, for example.
