that I'd trust AirBnB any more than a motel, and it might be possible to work with a motel owner who would appreciate having the same guests in one place for a week. You could negotiate to not have to need housekeeping for the entire time, maybe just change out the towels every few days or so. And I would imagine that most chains have instructed their franchisees on how to disinfect a room these days.

Also, aren't most AirBnB's in more urbanized areas? For the multi-day trip across the country, I'd feel safer in a town in the middle of nowhere, and the motel owners there would probably be more accommodating in making special arrangements as I've suggested above.

All the best to your son and daughter-in-law, I was adopted myself, and I know what kind of special people it takes to be adoptive parents.
