Is this Bait and Switch from NYC hotel listing on AirBNB?

[Rajesh132]

I booked a hotel room on AirBNB and prepaid. The hotel canceled the reservation a month in advance of my stay and offered to give me a new reservation at a higher price.

They said they have no record of my AirBNB reservation although I have my confirmation number, confirmation email and AirBNP host message of reservation confirmation.

Is this a bait and switch?

Are hotels listing their rooms on AirBNB simply to cancel the bookings to offer the same room at a higher rate?

Did you make the booking with the hotel or a third party host @Rajesh132
