**** 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. Once I was getting the run-around on the published sale price and what I was being charged for a room at a national chain rated by AAA. I paid but told the hotel clerk that I am going straight to AAA about it. Shortly thereafter I got a call in my room, with apologies, and a refund. 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, you would expect it , at the very least, to have similar amenities, even though it could reasonably be argued that that they ought to be much better, considering what that amount of Rupees can buy in the local marketplace.
