HOTEL GRADING
Sir, —Mr Justice Tyndall’s remarks about the one-egg and two-egg hotels bears out the experience of a party with which I travelled in the North Island some months ago. We found that grading did not mean anything except price. The management and service at some of the lower-graded hotels were far superior to those graded higher, and at last we came to one hotel in a small centre where conditions were exceptionally good. This hotel was not graded. The proprietor stated that grading did not mean anything, and our party agreed with him. The Licensing Commission has a long way to go in improving hotel service for tourists, and from our experience the grading is most erratic. In many cases two-star hotels should be four-star, and four-star hotels one-star or ungraded.—Yours, etc., ~ nn TRAVELLER. * May 30,* 1950.
