Hotel Star Ratings Not Always Truthful

Sometimes you can score amazing deals booking through online travel sites but sometimes those "star ratings" that hotels have aren't always telling the truth.

Take for instance this man's experience at the Great Western Inn in Carlsbad, New Mexcio.

According to Hotels.com [this] is a three-star hotel. I've never seen a three-star hotel with a crack in the door that one can see street lights through. The room also didn't have hot water. It was only luke warm, and there were hairs on the pillows. Three-star hotel my ass.

In fairness to Hotels.com, we saw that they now have a one-star rating for the place. But either way, you should avoid this one.

We also happen to agree with the comment posted below this Flickr photo.
