>>Should that define the general standard of hotels and motels across >>the USA?
May be or may be not. check this .... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11916682/ Also check the numerous blogs on hotels ... does not look too good. My experience in US says that the standard of hotels have degraded rapidly over last 10 years or so. >>Incidentally HOJO is owned by desis if I am not mistaken. >>That might explain it Where did you get this piece of info ??? As I understand it is owned by Wyndham Group and the CEO is Stephen P. Holmes .... does not sound an Indian Name nor does he look Indian. HOJO Franchisees are owned by various people. The one I am talking about is owned by some hispanic person ... but does that mean HOJO will shrugg off all responsibility ... I mean is it the American way of doing business. >>BTW, did you report it to AAA? Oh yes ! and they sent me a nice letter ... we have forwarded your complaint to the local AAA Inspector ! >>I won't try to compare the US quality of motels and hotels with >>Indian ones. It will not be fair to do so. But when an Indian hotel >>charges prices like US hotels, Hmmm ..... where did it charge prices like US hotel. As I said, first find a hotel in a Major US city where it charges $30 that too for walkin customers!! Two years back, I visited Kanyakumari ...hotel was 3 star (as claimed by them and might be true) Rs1500 per night (< $40)for a sea facing room and was excellent. I had earlier experience in Goa (Tourist Dept hotel) in Calengute Beach (on the beach) where a suite was Rs1600 . I will not say it was a Star facility but clean and fantastic location (you can see the sea from your bed). Try finding a sea facing hotel in a Tourist location in US for that price !!!! > >BTW, how about comparing the Star hotels ... the >hotel in Orlando (HOJO) is a 2 star hotel as rated by >AAA >>**** How about it? >>Should that define the general standard of hotels and motels across >>the USA? Incidentally HOJO is owned by desis if I am not mistaken. >>That might explain it :-). BTW, did you report it to AAA? It does >>make a difference.
