You get what you pay for. Motel 6 vs Hyatt or Four Seasons. On this particular trip we stayed in 4 airbnb properties. Toronto. A full 2 bedroom house with living, dining, full kitchen with outstanding appliances, bottle of wine and bowl of fruit on arrival, heart of downtown Toronto, cost $200 per night. It was 10 star. Another, suburb of Montreal, minimalist, all white, swimming pool, king size bed, full kitchen, $100 per night..also 10 star. Third one, Rivère du Loup (smallish town like Edmundston), ½ a house, main floor, three bedrooms, huge kitchen and dining room. Each bedroom with ensuite bath...10 star again...$125 per night.
This was the poor and distant cousin that deserves 1 or 2 stars maximum. This apartment is old, tired, stale, not a salubrious apartment. We got there late, checked in, went to bed and left. When the host has a note on the wall asking the guest to leave a 5 star rating, then with absolute certainty they're not going to get it from me. I've stayed in many accommodations over the years and have my own airbnb. Five stars is earned. I know what five star looks like and this is not close by a mile. Like comparing a Motel 6 to a Four Seasons. It's beyond me how anyone could give this 5 stars. If it was three it would have been honest. It's overall high rating makes absolutely no sense to me.
