## What qualifications do AAA hotel inspectors have?

AAA hotel inspectors are trained professionals who complete specialized education in hospitality evaluation before conducting inspections. Their training covers AAA’s detailed inspection criteria, evaluation procedures, and the standards associated with each Diamond tier. Inspectors learn to assess cleanliness, service quality, amenities, and the overall guest experience using a consistent, standardized methodology. They also receive instruction in ATP testing procedures as part of the Inspected Clean program, ensuring accurate and uniform cleanliness verification across all properties. This standardized training ensures that a Three Diamond hotel in California is evaluated using the same criteria as a Three Diamond hotel in Florida, providing consistency across regions. Inspectors typically have hospitality industry knowledge and are expected to evaluate all properties objectively—regardless of brand, location, or price point.
