@IBBtravel A1 - Shockingly, I prefer hotels because I can earn/use points!

replying to @JustinLaurenXO A1: I love trying them all! Love me a boutique hotel or a place with an apartment any day of the week! We even stayed in yurts in New Zealand, that was a lot of fun! #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel A1: hotels. while Airbnbs save money and provide more space, hotels have extra amenities like free breakfasts, fitness centers, and the ability to switch rooms if something isn't up to snuff #InspiretoWander

A1 #InspireToWander I tend to go with chain hotels. Overseas, I prefer @Accorhotels just because they have good quality control.

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel @inspiretowander A1) I haven’t really explored the realm of hostels yet although I know plenty who I have. When I lile to treat myself - I like bed and breakfasts - and otherwise hotels particularly if they come with a nice continental breakfast or coffee. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A1. When I did my backpacking excursion I did hostels/couchsurfing b/c I was gone 3.5 months was trying to save money & it was quite an experience couchsurfing as a solo female traveler! Had to be very careful in who I chose to stay with #InspireToWander @inspiretowander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel A1: Depends on my travel buddy or group. Typically airbnbs with a big group 👨👩👦👦 or my hubby 👫 Hotels for business 👩🏼💻Hostels for budget travel with a friend👯♀️ #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A1: When we aren't Couchsurfing, @Airbnb is our favourite for booking stays because you get to feel like a local! You can blend right in and get to know what it's like to live in the area you're visiting. #InspireToWander

A1. I prefer boutique hotels when w/ 1 friend or solo. AirBnB for larger groups #inspiretowander

replying to @SterlingTravelr @SterlingTravelr @IBBtravel #inspiretowander A1 It depends on the length of the trip and the destination. Sometimes there is no Airbnb.

A1 I LOVE staying at hostels because of the atmosphere. It's such a great place to meet fellow travelers and share stories! And The Crash Pad in @chattanoogafun is the best hostel I've ever come across. #inspiretowander

A1 @inspiretowander #InspireToWander I love hotels for the loyalty programs and consistency and @Airbnb for the unique accommodation offers. We are presently enjoying a great family ski vacation with a very comfy AirBnB in #Tremblant

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A1. My #1 is to stay in our RV. Own space, own things around me. Second best is a hotel. Again, you have your own space. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A1: Airbnbs especially for travel abroad - I'm selective about the hosts :) and I like to be able to read the reviews #inspiretowander (being a host myself)

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A1: Hotels, hostels, Airbnbs, or homestays? What’s my preferred way to stay and why? Usually hotels and B&Bs b/c they contribute to tourism dollars. Haven't tried hostels - no bookings through Airbnb b/c of the ID requirements, not secure #IMHO & won't chance it. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A1 #InspireToWander Now that I travel so much, hotels are my favorite. I like the convenience.

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel A1: Done all except homestay & don't think it might be for me as I'd feel like I'm staying with relatives & feel mighty uncomfortable. I wanna be cleaned up after on vacation not act like I'm at home in real life. Prefer hotels outta the lot. Lol. #inspiretowander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO A1. I prefer Hotels, but I've loved staying in great hostels (albergue) on the Camino de Santiago, from tiny 8 bunk bed accommodations to the one in Roncesvalles, Spain, where the only hostel in town has capacity for 350 people and is full during the busy season. #InspireToWander

replying to @JustinLaurenXO @JustinLaurenXO a1 usually @Airbnb for me these days , need a kitchen and gives you more space to stretch out #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel A1) Hotels - I prefer the setup of a hotel, facilities and service etc. #InspireToWander
