Airbnb May 2022 Release

I stayed in literally hundreds of hotels and that never happened to me.

Sure, it can happen on very rare occasions, but what a hotel will do then is "walk" you to a hotel in the vicinity of the same category or better.

They don't put you on hold for hours.

And when they walk you, they pay for your stay elsewhere and for transport to and from. And usually other perks like snacks or rewards points or hotel credit.

And a half decent hotel will call you or email you in advance to notify you of the situation so you do not waste much time.

Happened to me a few times. The hotel booked me a room in a different hotel a few blocks away, refund my entire stay, and provide points for the troubles.
