Here I save all of the hotels I’ve stayed in with their overall ranking, as laid out in my rubric.
Remember, I see overall ratings as following:
| Stars | Numerical | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ★☆☆☆☆ | 0 – 1.5 | Avoid, not a good hotel stay and not worth the stay |
| ★★☆☆☆ | 1.5 – 2.5 | Under-whelming, likely to avoid but good if the price is right and sub-categories align with your needs |
| ★★★☆☆ | 2.5 – 3.5 | Very solid hotel, would recommend staying here. Satisfying hotel stay and fulfills requirements. |
| ★★★★☆ | 3.5 – 4.5 | Exceeded expectations and worth a special stay. Elevated offerings, atmosphere and service. |
| ★★★★★ | 4.5+ | Stunning hotel, worth a trip in and of itself and would stay again. Worth any price to stay and is near-perfect. |
