So I’ve traveling and tried a few and they all seem to have stopped maintenance. Chipped pain, walls that desperately need paint, things that have been cleaned but just not thoroughly.

    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.

      Most hotel booking sites will tell you their star ratings, the original one came from Forbes. For example, Expedia lists their criteria here, so you could look at what your hotel looks like in their registry (assuming their listings work where you are).

      I usually do 3-star hotels and it’s a mixed bag, usually they’re nice but some have been pretty disappointing.

      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.
