Airbnb is much better for families whereas hotels cater to everyone else basically.

Air BNBs all the way! I just got back from one in NC mountains. We rented a lodge right next to a river with a cow pasture literally next to the house. Besides a washer and dryer...It had a hammock, fire pit, grill, farm fresh eggs, sweets from a local bakery, plus milk and orange juice and a stocked coffee bar. Then there was also a basket of decent snacks.
The Airbnb before had the same attention to detail but much smaller. They owned most land near the house so they built 2 little cabins near them to rent. This one came with a "free" bottle of whiskey. It also had a Blackstone and fire pit as well.
All hotels offer is the same shitty breakfast foods and coffee. Much rather be enjoying my vacation even if we wanted to spend half the day home at an Airbnb. Can't beat the perks. Just need to do your homework, not all Airbnb's are shitty rented side rooms. For the last 5 years my extended family and I had rented several houses big enough for the 9 of us. All with plenty to do around the house when you need a break from driving, hiking, restaurants and shopping.
I'm glad you had a good time. My experience with Air BNB has been very different. I've never used their services but I've been 'evicted' from two affordable rental properties that are now Air BNBs by the property being sold to new owners. They're very nice homes to rent for a weekend, I should know I lived there for years until I was kicked out for people like you.
I'm not saying that home had someone who was evicted to make it a hotel for you, but it happens to a lot of people. I'm not alone. Property owners kick people who are paying their rent, out onto the street because it could make more as an Air BNB. But that's just capitalism baby.
