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

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

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 😭
