Uncle Roger's Rating System

I enjoyed my stay at all of the places I've listed. But, some were better than others. AAA rates hotels based on the number of amenities a facility has. But conference rooms, weight rooms, etc. does not necessarily add up to a good night's sleep. So how do I rate them? It's a combination of five things: The quality of the room, the quality of the service, the cleanliness of the facility, and the quality and quantity of the other amenities (such as pool, hot tub, breakfast, ease of room access, security, and so on) are combined to make up most of the rating. The cost is factored in relative to the other factors, and a final rating is determined based on how the first rating compares to the cost.

Most of these facilities are very reasonable. But some are quite cheap, and others are rather expensive. But the cheap ones are even more of a bargain, while the expensive ones are worth every cent.

All of these places will offer a good night's sleep. But when faced with having to choose between two, an idea of how different your life will be after staying at each would be a great help. With that in mind, here's a general description of each rating.

* Adequate, acceptable, but nothing more. If all you're looking for is someplace to sleep, this'll do.
* * If you can't get into one of the other places on this list, stay here. Good value, clean, a nice place to stay if you're not at home.
* * * This is a good choice. Worth sticking around in the morning and lazing about. A good choice if you plan to stay more than one night.
* * * * Top notch lodgings. You may even find yourself returning here earlier in the evening than you expected. Good for longer stays. Better, even, than sleeping in a Land Rover.
* * * * * The ultimate -- may even be the best part of your trip. A destination in and of itself. Getting laid here may seem redundant. Your home is a filthy, decrepit hovel in comparison. You won't want to leave.

For them what wants to know what unit of measure is used in this rating system, it's "Beddie-Bye," as in "one Beddie-Bye" through "five Beddie-Byes." Of course, you recognize the picture from the cover of Pink Floyd's Memoentary Lapse of Reason.
