One star, Two stars, Three stars, Four Stars, FIVE STARS! But what do they mean? Beyond the obvious "crummy to ritzy," if you've even wondered what these stars mean in terms of what you should expect to get, I'll explain it for you now.
While it can be intimidating and confusing as to what you need to bring, here are some great ideas to make your next business trip fantastic.
Mount Vernon Visit the residence of America's first president, George Washington, in Alexandria, Virginia! You can see Washington's tomb, tour his magnificent house, and the grounds of his estate.

4 Star Hotels Not quite as elegant as 5 star hotels, but still extremely nice and well-equipped, 4 star hotels are the slightly less expensive version of 5 star hotels.
The Shenandoah Caverns The only cave system in Virginia with an elevator, The Shenandoah Caverns offers a one-mile tour of crystalline formations-all at a comfortable year-round temperature of 56 degrees.

Hanging Rock State Park The grandeur of the Sauratown Mountains is on full display at Hanging Rock State Park, near Winston-Salem, North Carolina. There's plenty to see, with 5 stunning waterfalls, breathtaking views, and miles of hiking trails.
2 Star Hotels As we get down into the 2 star range, you'll see fewer services, but still comfortable and clean rooms. You'll rarely if ever see room service, but many 2 star hotels still have an on-site restaurant. Rooms will be medium to small sized with basic amenities like a TV, phone, and hair dryer, but not much else unless specified.
Many 2 star hotels do offer a small fitness area and/or a pool. They are usually located around airports, highways, and shopping centers.
Niagara Falls A true wonder of North America, 750,000 gallons of water fall over Niagara Falls every second! Sitting on the border between Canada and the United States, it's actually comprised of 3 waterfalls: American Falls, Horseshoe Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls.
Look local This is for security purposes as well as entertainment. You want people to think that you are local so they don't take advantage of you. Make sure you are doing all you can to keep yourself healthy and happy on a business trip.
Featuring the marine life of the sound, the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, Connecticut, boasts sharks, sea otters, and 259 species in all. If you are planning on attending this aquarium, definitely look for hotels in Norwalk, Connecticut!
