AAA

The AAA Diamond Program helps travelers by providing an independent, consistent evaluation of hotel quality based on standardized inspections conducted by trained professionals. Unlike user reviews—which vary widely in opinion, expectations, and personal experience—Diamond designations reflect objective assessments using uniform criteria across all properties. The program helps travelers set clear expectations before booking. A guest choosing a Four Diamond hotel knows to expect upscale accommodations and attentive service, while someone selecting an Approved property can rely on receiving a clean, comfortable stay without elevated amenities. The addition of the Inspected Clean standard further enhances traveler confidence by offering scientific verification of housekeeping effectiveness. Overall, the Diamond Program allows travelers to efficiently narrow their options, avoid uncertainty, and reduce the risk of unpleasant surprises upon arrival.
