Hotel stars are a rating system that evaluates the features and amenities available at a hotel. The Hotel Star rating system helps to know what to expect in terms of safe and reliable lodging and food services. The star symbol is a registered trademark, which means that only star-rated licensees can display star ratings.
Two Star hotels provide the essentials accommodation needs such as a room, a bed, and a bathroom. They also offer a few more extras like in-room television, phone, and closet. Some 2 Star hotels also provide on-site dining and snacks for guests at a fee. Other amenities include clothing racks or closets and quick detours off highways.
Unlike 1 Star hotels that are mostly privately owned, 2 Star hotels are often part of a larger chain and therefore have brand recognition. One Star hotels generally only have one location. However, 2 Star hotels are usually available in multiple locations in various parts of a country or worldwide. For this reason, guests know what to expect every time they stay at a 2 Star hotel under a common brand name.
Apart from the amenities and comfort, the hygiene essentials, services, and decoration at a 2 Star Hotel are usually of a higher quality and appeal compared to that of a 1 Star Hotel. Two Star hotels are mostly preferred by economy travelers who want comfortable lodging with a few more extras than the basic amenities and service standards of a 1 Star hotel.
Some examples of 2 Star hotels include Eastgate Hotel, Ghana; Allure Continental Hotel and Suites, Benin; Carlton Tower Hotel, Kuwait; Royal Infinity International Hotel, Nigeria and Hotel Victoria, France.
Hotel star ratings are very important to both hotel owners and customers. It can influence customers’ booking decisions by providing them with insights into what to expect from a hotel. While a higher star rating is an indication that a hotel offers a better experience, it also means that customers would have to pay more to patronize it. Hotel Stars, therefore, help guests to make informed decisions to choose a particular hotel over another.
