It seems like hotel costs have increased recently. What you got for $100-150 last year is now $150-200. When things are bad, especially if they seem dangerous, i ask for a discount.
I used to travel for work full time and always stayed in Marriotts. Never had any complaints.
Most sheridans in hyatts are going to be well maintained. Hiltons as well. If it's a brand used for corporate travel it's typically in good condition.
Hyatt is the one who kicked off this whole process. We started with them and were very disappointed.
Motels? Probably not, but most 4 star hotel shouldn’t be in disrepair. As generic as chain hotels like Mariott and Hilton are, they tend to be well maintained.
I'm at a Red Lion right now and it is not well maintained. But Google isn't telling me how many stars it has, it only brings up reviews. How do you tell how many stars a hotel has?
Traditionally, stars as in 2 star hotel, 3 star hotel means what services a hotel/motel provides, not whether they're actually good at those services or have well-maintained facilities.
Red Lion is owned by a company that primarily focuses on budget hotels.
Almost always, any hotel outside of the budget pricing is substantially better.
It’s unfortunate the hotel you’re at isn’t at your standards but this is generally the case with the least expensive places.
Sure, but you'll be paying well over $100 a night for anywhere nice unless it's in the middle of nowhere or the off-season. Even some places that seem sorta decent can have shoddy cleaning and bedbugs, though. When I've stayed frequently in an area it can take a few tries and careful review reading to find my favorite establishment in terms of cleanliness, noise, safety, and new-ness of rooms/furniture combined with prices.
Yup. I’ve found Holiday Inns to be rather nice. It’s on the “pricier” side of budget hotels, but they’ve generally all been pretty clean, updated, and breakfast included.
