Hotel or whole home?
When a hotel wins
Hotels fit 1–2 night trips for one couple. Past that, a whole home almost always beats booking multiple rooms.
When a whole home wins
Whole homes are the right call for families and groups. Real kitchens cut down on eating out. Extra bedrooms and bathrooms reduce friction. Yards and pools help with kids.
