"Extended stay" places have at least limited kitchens. I often stay at them for the typically more comfortable sitting area but having a fridge can be useful too. I mostly don't use the kitchen though.
AirBnB did make renting vacation homes and the like more convenient. Even if hotels aren't really broken, the vacation rental services were very fragmented and mostly not great.
A lot depends on what you're looking for. On vacation, I do sometimes like something with a bit more "character." TBH though, most of the time I just want reliable with a 24 hour desk, the ability to leave luggage before I can check in or after I check out, etc.
