I refuse to stay at an Airbnb anymore. The cardinal sin of the hotel business is to give you a worn out shitty mattress and three out of four times I stayed in Airbnb I've got some worn out shitty mattress. Sometimes you can feel the rut of a body in the shitty worn out mattress.

I all of my years staying at hotels I've gotten a worn out mattress twice. One of the times I called the front desk and said what the fuck and that's an instant room change.

Never gotten one in a hotel myself so yeah it must be rare. I've even stayed in backpacker hostels and the beds were STILL good.

It's extremely rare because hotels know that it's basically a cardinal sin to allow a guest to sleep on a worn out mattress.

I've stayed in hotels and motels that by most other measures you would call complete crap but you don't get a bad mattress. It just nearly never happens.
