Hotels are rated by a Star rating system. A one star is the cheapest and poorest quality, while a five-star hotel is very expensive and nice. The average tourist usually stays in a three-star hotel. These hotels are usually comfortable, clean and affordable. The average price for the room per night at a three-star hotel is $50. It is much cheaper to stay at a motel where a decent room will cost you $30 - $ 40.

You may find hotels with the same name in many cities and towns of the USA and even in other countries. There are called hotel chains. They provide travellers with many services including air tickets, tour, etc. and you stay in the hotel of the same name around the world. It is very convenient. The most famous hotel chains are Marriott, Holiday Inn, Sheraton, Ramada Inn, and Hilton.
