I think I'm coming to the same conclusion.

Currently on a 2.5wk trip around Europe, only two nights of which are in a proper hotel. I previously had great and unique experiences with Airbnb, but lately, I'm paying what's probably more than a hotel, and the experiences have been... Awkward and sometimes kinda skeezy. The one thing I really want is a convenient washer to do laundry, which almost every Airbnb I've stayed in has. Not so much in hotels.

Hotels in the US often have washers and dryers but yeah, they won't be in your room.

Not with that attitude!

I once got bedbugs at a hostel in Argentina. They were kind (?) enough to refund my money, but then I was left uncomfortably itchy and roomless. Plus I was freaked out that there might be bedbugs in my clothes and backpack. I bought some detergent and booked a room at the Hilton, put every belonging I had in the tub and filled it up. I've wondered at times what kind of gross stuff happens in hotels, but on this night, I was the gross one.
