Looking for a Place to Stay or Eat?

HOUSTON, December 27, 2006 - AAA has assigned its Four Diamond Award^® rating for the year 2007 to 67 lodgings and 31 restaurants in Texas.

"AAA Four Diamond Award winners know the language of customer satisfaction as they consistently deliver premier experiences, complete with superior personal service, first-class amenities, and impressive surroundings," said Mark Bell, general manager of AAA Texas. "Only establishments that meet the extensive quality criteria required to become AAA Approved receive a AAA Diamond rating. The two components work in sync — AAA Approved offers the stamp of quality and AAA Diamond ratings show where establishments fit in the spectrum from basic to luxury."

AAA's 65 AAA/CAA tourism editors visit nearly 60,000 lodgings and restaurants each year throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Tourism editors conduct unannounced evaluations of lodgings and restaurants, scrutinizing such areas as cleanliness, ambiance, amenities, and service.
