 What Does a AAA Rating Mean?
According to TIA, a property’s AAA rating is one of the top considerations smar travelers use when determining what hotel to stay in. Location,
comfort, past experience, quality service from staff, special discount, reputation,
complimentary breakfast, amenities, overall style, and AAA ratings are
top considerations for travelers when selecting hotel
accommodations. No other rating entity makes the list of top 20
considerations.
