I usually prefer hotels too, but I’ve never had this issue. What I don’t like is the extra fess they add though. Makes it hard to compare prices since “per night” has almost no reflection on how much total cost of the stay.
When I was in Rome I had a beautiful apartment for $70 per night with a terrace garden, a balcony, a grill, a full kitchen, a private laundry room, locals cafe, locals bakery. You don’t any of those things with a hotel, and yet mediocre rated hotels in that area were like 5x more.
That said, it cost 300 million to makes and 5 years to develop. Getting a return in the billions after 10 years is expected, otherwise they might as well save all that time and energy, and massive financial risk, and just buy conservative ETFs with that 300 million and sit at the beach.
