For me to consider a hotel "good," it should:
1. be clean
2. be very near great sights
3. have courteous staff
by Nasiswand on September 17th, 2008
Staff ready and waiting to meet your needs. I was in tears at the last hotel I went to because I was there with my baby and all the milk/food that comes with it and there was no refrigerator in the room. They actually brought one up for me to use. It made my stay that they went to the trouble.

The kind of clients or customers that frequent the hotel! The Westin!

A good staff who care's about their jobs & puts a full 100% into their work. Cleanliness and Friendly service will go a long way in making a good hotel. Plus the area its located at, also can make a big difference. And then last but not least is the cost per visit......

Cleanliness, for sure. Affordability and comfy beds (even if everything else about the place sucks, I want a comfy bed, dang it!), too. Also a nice restaurant and good ambience/decor are good if you can get 'em :)
by Compusoft Technologies on September 8th, 2009
I think its service. I found great services at http://www.shirdihotel.in

One with a lounge.
by Sharona Life is a Tale Told by an Idiot on August 25th, 2009
Ambience ambience ambience. A beautifully appointed, clean room rife with flowers, beautiful comfortable funishings, overlooking a gorgeous scene and great service. Nice accesories in the bathroom like shampoo (good kind), and privacy.

Being a retiree my criteria would be affordability (most of all), cleanliness, well located (where snacks are easily available), politeness of the staff, with internet facility.

by pikeroderick on December 10th, 2009
A good hotel is not just clean facilities, but warm staff that treats you like a special person and not just another occupant in the big hotel. It means that while you are in a foreign land, you can still feel comfortable, safe and important.

Thanks - safety hadn't come up before (+)
by Piggle on September 18th, 2008
I've taken a look at some hotels that seemed unsafe to me, with doors open to the public, or windows that open to the street??? I don't think so! I appreciate security and things like fire safety. good maps inside each room to show me where the exits are in case of fire or a problem. Thumbs up for those kinds of places.
by Galeanda on September 18th, 2008
Thanks - I always make sure I know where the fire exit is and the bigger the hotel the more important it is.
