Hotels are great if you need 1 bed and nothing else. But hotels get expensive fast if you need an extra room for a kid. Or you take a pet. Or you need to wash your clothes. Or you would like a kitchen.
The kitchen is usually the big one for me. Finding a hotel with a kitchen (and not $$$$ prices) is hard. Heck, some hotels won’t even give you a fridge (and when they do give you a fridge, it’s probably the tiniest possible). AirBnB absolutely can have some extra bullshit sometimes, but they’re usually considerably cheaper than a hotel and it’s standard to have a kitchen.
Extended Stay is really good for that if you want to stick to hotels. The one I have stayed at had a decent kitchen, a living room, a dining space, and a breakfast.
AirBNB is fine if you are just looking for a place nearby tourist sites that you don’t plan to spend much time at.
Hotels are great when you need the extra features, a concierge, laundry (I have never worked at a hotel that did not have laundry services and/or dry cleaning), restaurants, and the like.
Kitchen I could see being tricky, but if you need a kitchen I assume you might be doing more a long-term stay anyway, in which case a lot of hotels will have those options as well.

Breakfast is standard in my province at least.
I almost see it as the opposite.
