Doubt.
Quick google search shows quite a few hotel rooms under $100/night. Divide that with 1 or 2 other people and you're talking about having a clean, safe place to stay with no other headaches for the night for roughly the cost of a reasonable meal.
And yet it happened...
We were sleeping with 5 of us, at that point you simply can't beat a cheap AirBnB for price.
Frankly I trust my real-life experience literally doing it over your quick Google search.
I can believe you - people when travelling are so used to hotels they're stuck in that "Hotel Room" mindset, which is great if it's 2 people, or 2 couples that share a room. I don't think many people have looked into "larger accommodations" so the "economy of scale" as it were can kick in. And I can see renting an entire house if you've got enough people going, for long enough, to be more economical. I know it has been for 1week or so. It's hard to compare most hotels where people tend to stay for less than 5 days IME, and have less than 4 people to larger group trips.
