the dirt cheap ones that are actually just a room or bed in someone's hosue or apartment are also still around and useful last I checked. But honestly only really worth seeking out in places where all other options are really spendy. I spent a few nights in a creepily decorated bedroom in San Francisco once in the past few years and it was by far the cheapest option, and seemingly all it was doing was keeping a spare bedroom occupied in this older lady's apartment (idk what you'd call it, I think she owned it but it wasn't a standalone building). Probably the only way she could afford to stay in SF tbh. But that situation is the exception, most consumers don't seem to be willing to go for that and want a whole (fancy if possible) place to themselves, and most landleeches won't stop at renting out a spare bedroom.
