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. They 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.

| RULES AND REGULATION OF HOTELS |
1. The first thing to do is to book a room in advance either by letter, telephone or fax. Otherwise you may arrive at the hotel and be told that there are no rooms.
2. On arrival at the hotel go to the reception desk in the lobby and confirm your reservation. The clerk will then give you a registration form to fill in and sign (the form is filled in block letters (великими друкованими літерами). In smaller hotels you simply sign the visitor’s book and give your permanent address.
3. In large hotels you may ask for any service by telephone. You tell the operator if you wish to be called at a certain time. You call room service when you want a meal or drinks sent up to your room, and you can have a lot of maid service if you need something (a suit or dress) cleaned or pressed.
4. Let the hotel management know well in advance the day and time your departure.
