Upgraded Points recently conducted a comprehensive analysis comparing the average nightly costs of Airbnbs and hotels in 100 of the largest cities in the United States. The study provides valuable insights into the accommodation trends and preferences of travelers across the country.
“Hotels have long been the go-to choice for travelers seeking comfort and convenience, but Airbnb has grown in popularity as an alternative, offering unique stays and a taste of local life,” said Keri Stooksbury, editor-in-chief at Upgraded Points. “When choosing between comfort and uniqueness, cost plays a huge role, and we wanted to find just where you could find the best accommodation deals.”
Study Methodology:
In order to compare the cost-effectiveness of staying at an Airbnb versus a hotel, Upgraded Points conducted an analysis of the average nightly prices of Airbnbs (entire places) and hotels in the 100 largest cities in the United States. Airbnb data was obtained directly from Airbnb, while hotel data was sourced from Kayak. The analysis considered average nightly costs for each city, with hotel prices based on a single room for two adults. Any nightly cost exceeding $1,000 was excluded as an outlier.
