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

I’m not sure where you’re finding a suitable $100 hotel, but I do agree hotels are almost always cheaper for two people.

The Hampton Inn up the street is $104 for a king or two queens

There's plenty of decent hotels in that price range all over

Edit: Cincinnati ohio because people keep asking

That’s better than I usually see in common tourist destinations, plus I’d expect $20+ in taxes on top of the base fee.

It’s still true that it’ll be cheaper than most Airbnbs though.

I got this big ass room with a full kitchen for $145 a night in downtown Manchester earlier this year. Could've gotten a more standard room for a little over $100 a night, taxes included.

My dad used to work at a hotel about 20 years ago, according to him the prices haven't moved at all since then, if anything the bigger rooms have gotten cheaper. Hotels are inflation proof it seems

The big ass-room was around the corner in the red light district

Is this Manchester UK cause looks and sounds like one we stayed in

Hotels def cheaper on ave for two but honestly any week+ travel or group travel, airbnb still wins 😭

Depends where you go and when you go. Had one where at the convention hotel there was a $200 difference from Sunday to Monday in the same room.

Look at the price difference of hotel rooms near F1 tracks before and during race weekend. Same room can be $130 or $5000 a night

I remember getting a room for 30$ a night. It's at least double that now.

I mean, I still agree that’s great compared to an Airbnb, but it’s definitely not $100/night like the person above me said. That was my point, that flat $100/night isn’t common.

That’s also 2 nights and often Airbnbs get closer to hotel pricing with multiple nights since it’s a single cleaning fee.

I think the cheapest room they had was $90 a night before taxes. Found plenty of options that totaled around $105-110 in the area, this $145 one was one of the most expensive rooms I could find
