AAA

Hotels that complete major renovations may see their Diamond rating change during their next inspection. When a property upgrades its facilities, amenities, or service levels, it may qualify for a higher Diamond designation if the improvements bring it in line with the standards of the next tier. Hotels can notify AAA of significant renovations and may request an expedited re‑inspection. Conversely, the annual inspection cycle ensures ratings remain current. A property that fails to maintain its facilities or experiences a decline in service quality may receive a lower Diamond rating—even without a specific renovation event triggering the downgrade. The system is designed to provide travelers with accurate, up‑to‑date assessments that reflect a hotel’s present condition and performance.
