Or there is not and the "Walmart of Hotels" is already the goddamn Holiday Inn.

And AirBnB is discovering what every "disruptor" is discovering: the system existed for a reason. The rules were there for a reason. Things cost what they cost for a reason. And the only way to come in under those prices is to cheat someone somewhere.

Walmart of hotels is motel 6. Holiday inn is like a target or something.

AirBnB has become a flee market and is cruising on past merits, just like Amazon.

I guess the main problem is that they make so much money while diluting their brand before customers realize

That's called when a legacy hotel puts their spare inventory for the day on an aggregator for a fire sale. It's like buying at Nordstrom Rack.
