These ladies have done it again!!!
The hard working ladies work hard every day to maintain the level of excellence that I and the guests demand. There work never goes unnoticed or unrewarded. đź’Ş
AAA did a surprise inspection of the hotel and award us the "Blue Diamond".
------------
Hotel operators tend to treat an AAA inspection as something to prepare for. The data suggests the harder problem is what happens after you pass. A study of AAA rating changes over ten years found that among properties whose designation changed, roughly 2.7 lost a Diamond for every one that gained. Designations are lost far more often than they are won.
That happens because AAA hotel inspections are unannounced and run annually. There is no date to prepare for and no advance notice. A property is either holding its standards on an ordinary weekday or it is not, and whatever the inspector sees becomes the score.
Key Takeaways=
AAA hotel inspections are unannounced and annual, and only a sample of guest rooms is assessed.
Housekeeping and maintenance are graded separately from design and amenities, which is why Best of Housekeeping is a distinct recognition.
Losing a designation is more common than gaining one, and research links sustained performance to continuous investment rather than one-off upgrades.
Hotel audit tools like GoAudits let hotels run the same condition and cleanliness checks across all properties on a set schedule, so standards hold between annual inspections rather than being rebuilt before them.
Great job ladies! We are in line for another "Gold Award" this year!!! Keep up the good work!
