Travellers who decide to book a budget hotel in Miami have a high risk of being disappointed, according to a survey by CheapHotels.org, which compared 30 destinations in the USA based on the quality of their 2-star hotels.
Specifically, the survey compiled hotel ratings awarded by guests, after their stay, on the hotel booking site Expedia over the past year. These ratings, which run from 1 to 5, were then categorised into positive (4 or 5), neutral (3) or negative (1 or 2).
In Miami, 34 percent of budget hotel clients were disappointed with their hotel stay and awarded the establishment a negative rating. That?s by far the highest disapproval rating of all destinations considered. For comparison, in Las Vegas, which ranks penultimate on the survey, 25 percent of all reviews have been negative.
On the other end of the spectrum, Seattle?s budget hotels have achieved the best ratings. In the Emerald City, 62 percent of all visitors have been happy with their hotel, 20 percent have awarded?their stay at least a neutral review and only 17 percent of the customers have been disappointed.
Also on the top-rated podium are Denver and Baltimore, with both cities achieving 60 percent positive reviews.
