2 PG County Hotels Rated 4 Diamonds By AAA

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD -- AAA has released its annual list of hotels that have received four and five diamonds, and two National Harbor hotels are on the list.

The Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center and the newly opened MGM National Harbor were given the honor, which indicates that the hotel offers exceptional quality to guests in the eyes of AAA. Just 6.1 percent of the 27,000 hotels inspected by AAA are given four diamonds.

"They must be refined and stylish with upscale physical attributes, extensive amenities and a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail," the statement reads. "This year, there are 1,676 Four Diamond hotels."

Hotels are inspected in-person via anonymous overnight stays, and then they are reviewed by a panel of experts. Fewer than half of one percent receive five diamonds.

“Attaining a Five Diamond Rating is an exceptional accomplishment that signifies meticulous attention to detail, creativity in enhancing comfort, outstanding service and memorable guest experiences,” said Michael Petrone, director, AAA Inspections & Diamond Ratings, in the statement. “And as more mid-scale and even budget properties are adding amenities for comfort and convenience, hotels that aim for a Five Diamond Rating must stay far ahead of the curve to differentiate themselves through advanced design concepts, highest quality furnishings and scrupulous attention to guests’ expectations.”

D.C. has three hotels on the five-diamond list, and the Inn at Little Washington was the only establishment in Northern Virginia to get five diamonds. D.C. also had 11 four-diamond hotels.
