    In my experience over the last two years hotels are either same price OR less expensive due to AirBnBs bait and switch pricing. The taxes, cleaning fees, and random add ons are absurd.

    In a recent example, staying at some Yurt for three days was $248. After taxes and fees it was around $515. Like wtf?!

    I’m at the point where even if the pricing was flat, a hotel is 10X less hassle to deal with than AirBnB.

    In the meantime I’ve been using Memmy for Lemmy. It’s pretty good especially given how new it is. I came over from Apollo as a reference point. Definitely vastly improved my experience and made me miss Reddit way less

    Edit** also using Mlem which is still in text flight. Figured I’d see where they both land.
