Same here.
For some reason, I trust the cleanliness of Airbnb's more than hotels. Maybe this is baseless, maybe not.
Also, the amenities: you can never get a hotel room with a washing machine and a stove, so you either need to pack a lot of clothes or go to the laundry shop (if there's any). And you cannot cook anything, you cannot even heat up leftover food. Hell, there aren't even any cutleries.
Also, most of the case Airbnb wifi worked for me better than hotel wifi. Even if slow as hell, it's still stable. But in a hotel... good luck with using the internet for anything.
You might want to check into extended stay hotels like Candlewood or Home2. You get a refrigerator, stove top, dishes and cutlery, a lending locker with things like toaster ovens and crock pots, laundry facilities, a small gym, etc.
Stay away from the cheap ones like Value Place and you're usually good.
The guests tend to be blue collar types doing industrial work.
