Budget Hotels With 5-Star Service
Check out some hotel that I think are doing a great job right now.
The most important position in a budget hotel is the front desk associate, because that is the go-to person during your stay. If front desk associates deliver great first impressions and are always ready to take care of you, then they can elevate the hotel from a budget hotel to a five-star experience. Add in some important basic amenities, such as a really comfortable mattress, hot water with excellent pressure, strong Wi-Fi and a well-balanced breakfast with great coffee, and hotels will keep 99% of travelers happy.
Some of the brands that I think are doing a great job right now are the following:
Red Roof Inn

"Kevin Blackburn Photography"
Super 8

Ace Hotel of Manhattan

Unspecified
River Inn Resort

Hampton Inn of Sea World San Diego

Super 8

Hotel Macomber

When you step away from traditional brands, you will find family-run hotels all across the country that seem to go out of their way to make you feel great and to ensure that your stay is excellent. The home-away-from-home feeling is priceless to frequent travelers, and I find these hotels hark back to a day when hospitality was much simpler. It truly is about the family doing everything and truly caring in a genuine and friendly way
