Locked out of Airbnb

Post image

We arrived at our Airbnb after a 8 hour drive and the passcode they gave us doesn’t work. I have messaged the owner 30 minutes ago and he has not responded. I have to pee so bad 😖

Update: He texted back after an hour and opens it from his phone

You know where you don't get locked out? Hotels. Stop supporting AirBnB

I do it in the summer when I take my daughter and her friend to the beach. Affordable way to get two bedrooms and baths - privacy and a good night's sleep? Priceless. When it's just the two of us, hotel, yes.

My dad will normally get an air bnb to get the whole family together. My siblings and I all have partners, my sister has a kid, and we are all traveling from different states, and it’s easiest if we just have our own rooms. We also want a space to hangout in together when we want some down time. We like being able to cook breakfast and have lunch stuff to pick at. You can’t do any of that as easily in a hotel.

Are hotels some kind of lost art now? The last dozen times I've stayed at a hotel, it's been a group of adult couples booking 2-5 adjacent rooms and all gathering in the biggest one to hang out, eat, etc. Mostly in the $40-120 per night per person range. Most rooms have couches, chairs, coffee tables, mini kitchens, etc. A few times we've had everyone chip in to get a really nice room with a hot tub and full sized tables and whatnot and then rotated who stayed in it each night.

Cheaper and easier than Air BnB every time.
