Airbnb Is in Midlife Crisis Mode

I have three kids. We prefer to stay in hotels with suites where the kids can sleep in a separate room. I prefer the fact that they have on-site staff. All hotels that we've stayed in for the past few years include a breakfast buffet.

The kids generally prefer hotels because they have pools.

We've found plenty of professionally run "resorts" where the space is like a small apartment, with a full kitchen and multiple bedrooms. These tend to be right in ski areas where we could walk to the lift if we were staying during the ski season. We did stay in one that was AirBNB-like because it was privately owned but the ski area handled the reservation and any issues that came up while we were there.

As I pretty avid skier its my experience that at most ski towns airbnbs cost about 50% more than hotels but have about 3x the square ft for the cost. Yea I can pay 4 grand a night for 4 hotel rooms or whatever setup youve got, or I could pay a half of that for a 3 bedroom airbnb with an outdoor hot tub. Easy decision for me
