It's a good show, however you're only getting a one sided view. Most of the hotels featured on those shows are also advertisers on the Travel Channel, so you're not going to hear any down sides to staying there or any other issues. \n\nTo get an accurate idea of a hotel, look them up online. There are many forums where people who have stayed there before will list their experiences.

Hey churish imp,\nConsumer Guide ran some interesting stuff on motels, but it was quite a while back. You have to be more specific, like: do they allow pets?\nspecific credit cards? do they give AAA or other discounts?  Do you really think they change those pillowcases and sheets for new guests, and hope they have plastic throwaway drinking glasses.\nThe popular ones are successfull for a reason.\nI heard the new thing now is checking for bed bugs-have fun

Usually you will have to sign a contract of some sort with the hotel.  It would cover any damages or anything of that sort.  Only some who is 18 can enter into a legal contract which would limit you to being 18 before you can get a hotel room.\n\nSome hotels will have even greater age restrictions.

The two best sources for hotel properties would be brokers who specialize in hotel properties (hospitality properties), such as:\n\nCB Richard Ellis at www.cbre.com/USA\nor www.motelhotelbroker.com\n\nDepending on how much money your father has, he might be able to contact a Hospitality REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) and see what they are selling.  They normally have larger investment grade properties, but you never know.  You can check out www.nareit.com for a list of hospitality REIT's.

Hotels are going up everywhere and there are so many different jobs that you can get in the hospitality field.  The main thing to think about when considering hotel management is to start getting experience in many entry level positions so that you have a working knowledge of many departments within the hotel industry.  For example, you might consider working at the front desk for a little while, housekeeping for a little while, accounting, night auditor position, and then eventually qualify for a front desk supervisor, assistant general manager, and then up to a hotel manager.  But, you might consider getting experience in order to be in the upper levels of management that provide a decent standard of living.  It depends on where you may want to live as well.  If you are someone who does not mind travelling and is willing to relocate virtually anywhere, then hotel/hospitality is the industry for you.  There is always something fun, new and happening in hospitality.  It also depends upon what kind of hotel you may be looking to manage.  There are budget hotels like Microtel, Fairfield Inn, etc. that have a limited number of positions-housekeeping, front desk, manager, etc., but when you get into the full service hotels such as Hilton, Marriott, etc., you will also have a restaurant which provides many more positions.  In order to be a manager of a hotel, you will need to have some experience in these areas.  Another thing to keep in mind is that a hotel operates 24/7.  It never closes...and you have to consider that when planning for holidays, etc.  It's not a 9-5 job...you pretty much have to make yourself available 24/7 in case there is an emergency.  I'm not discouraging you from trying hotel management, I'm simply trying to help you understand some of the realities that I have encountered during my hospitality employment.

For my personal rating?\nA five star smells good when you enter the room. Everything works, every thing is clean, there are all the extra amenities , the rooms are fairly sound proofed so next doors TV doesn't bother you. Indoor pool and spa, weight room, adequate parking, and a hot breakfast!

Do you mean regionally? Country wide? City? A specific hotel? A chain of hotels? It depends on the property you talk about?\nLet's use a Holiday Inn (worked in one) There is a department for housekeeping, restaurant, front office, maintenance, and of course managers for those departments, sales, catering, and the above all manager, the General Manager.\nOf course, there are hotels that don't have all those departments. If it's a chain, then you also have the regional manager, CEO and so forth.\nI worked for a really fancy hotel for some years, best suite going for $700 a night (and yes people did get it) and we did not have half of those departments. It changes from hotel to hotel. Really, but the immediate top manager at just about any hotel is the GM (general manager)

A hotel has more than one story. A motel is only one story high.

If you can get into Cornell then, by all means do.  However, as someone who spent years as a hotel manager I can tell you that the industry places a premium on EXPERIENCE versus education.  So, if you want to work in the industry -- at a five-star hotel, or otherwise -- get a degree in something that will translate across careers (e.g. Economics, Philosophy, Literature -- something that develops critical thinking skills), and get some internships while in school.
