MIAMI, Nov. 15, 2012 -- A recent
survey by CheapHotels.org
has
compared 30 destinations in the United States and Canada based on the
overall
quality of their hotels. In coming up with its results, the survey
compiled
evaluations the various hotels have received over the past 12 months
from
customers after their stay. To render the many destinations as
comparable as possible,
only 3-star hotels located centrally within the respective destinations
were
considered. Hotel reviews were aggregated from the two leading
hotel-booking
sites: Expedia and Priceline. Each review was then categorized as
positive,
neutral or negative. In Miami Beach, 24% of visitors were
disappointed with their
hotel and awarded it a negative review. That ranks the city, by far, in
the
last spot among all destinations considered. Also at the bottom of the
rankings
were Atlantic City and Ottawa, where 21% and 20%, respectively, of all
recent
reviews have been negative. On the flipside: Washington, D.C. tops the
U.S. rankings,
with 73% of its hotel reviews being positive, 15% neutral and only 12%
negative. One destination in Canada, however, performed even better. In
Quebec
City, 75% of all travelers have been happy with their hotel stay, while
only
11% have awarded their lodgings there a negative evaluation. The following table shows the five highest
and lowest ranked
destinations according to the survey. The percent value indicates the
percentage
of negative hotel reviews each respective city received among all
3-star hotel
reviews over the past 12 months. 1. Quebec City 11% (negative reviews) ------------------------------------ 26. Las Vegas 19%
