I've been using hotels instead of Airbnb for a while now, and it's most often cheaper or similar price, and better service.

I have seen this too. From my experience mainly USA. For example 1 night in Destin FL $150, with $100 or $150 cleaning fee. Colorado is the highest I have seen with $200 cleaning fee.

Canada and Mexico $30 cleaning fee lol. It really depends on the location errrr country.
