External links[edit]

External links belong in an extra section at the end of an article, not in the main area of the list. ---- DanielKlotz (talk · contribs) 23:48, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@DanielKlotz I have edited the list of chain hotels, by adding Classic Hotels & Resorts. I am new to Wikipedia, and I want to be sure I am correctly citing these sources. in order to protect the integrity of the page. I noticed my links have strikethroughs, as they are external links, vs the internal linking. This particular brand doesn't have internal pages, and I am wondering the best way to cite Classic Hotels & Resorts. Please advise. Thank you.

Inconsistency between list & header[edit]

The header of the page states that this only includes chained brand hotels that are in at least two countries, but then the list includes properties such as AmericInn, Drury Hotels & InTown Suites that are exclusive to the US. Presumably either these chains should be removed, or the disclaimer should be altered?

Some other properties are listed as existing purely in the US, but also have locations in Canada (e.g. Motel6, Loews), so I guess these should be edited as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigas (talk • contribs) 14:09, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. I've tried to clean it up and add some references. Any help is always appreciated! Funandtrvl (talk) 00:36, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that's the most useful criterion. To my mind, a hotel in each US state beats a pair of buildings either side of the Niagara Falls. Certes (talk) 12:49, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The extra two goups[edit]

These of hotels should be on the list

Inclusion criteria[edit]

What are the criteria for inclusion in this list? Does a chain of two hotels with no Wikipedia article qualify, or would some pruning be in order?

Also, does the left column ("No.") serve any purpose? Chains seem to be listed alphabetically, except those that aren't. Certes (talk) 17:48, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I removed the left column, agree that it doesn't serve any purpose. Kept the sortable quality for now although I don't see the need for it either. As for list inclusion I would assume the hotel chain would at least require an article.Ajf773 (talk) 20:20, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sortable is needed, so people can list alphabetically, or by number of rooms or properties. Unsorted column of numbers would be helpful to show rank when sorted by numbers. However numbering would have to adjust for multiple entries in the same name, for luxury, budget, etc. Kim9988 (talk) 00:28, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Table would be simpler with one row per chain, and separate columns for brands in different tiers, rather than multiple rows per brand to show each tier on different row: luxury, budget, etc. Kim9988 (talk) 00:28, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization criteria[edit]

How are the categorizations determined? For example, I've stayed several hundred nights with Hyatt and Hilton over the last few years. I would never put a Hyatt Place or a Hyatt House in the upscale category. Maybe in the upper mid - a House is equivalent to a Hilton Homewood. And a Place is similar to a Garden Inn.

But these are just my opinions. So, do we have references for the placements in the categories? I note there are some references for the brands but they don't seem to relate to category. Maybe I missed something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dlewis7444 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Agreed. If we can't source these categorisations, we should get rid of them. Ajf773 (talk) 19:44, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
