This is the list of problems that you should expect to encounter in a hotel at this price
range. And, if you encounter at higher prices ranges you may be paying too much for
your room. The essential problem to expect is noise, when paying more than 10
USD per day, the Hotel should be quiet.

The problems above, should disappear at higher price levels, or maybe you are
paying too much.
The pivotal benefit you must expect at this level is screens on windows, and hot
water, if these two benefits are missing, you should pay less than 25 Dollars per
night.
Occupied by normla tourists, package tours, and NGO'S staying from 5-21 Days.
The pivotal benefit at this level is you will have extreme quiet, peace, and all the
travelers nest needs should be serviced. You should have air conditioning, balcony,
and 24 hour guard with weapons.
The problems above, should disappear at higher price levels, or maybe you are
paying too much.
The problems above, should disappear at higher price levels, or maybe you are
paying too much.
Occupied by resort tourist, they are often not good at understanding or buying value,
and stay from 0-14 Days. This is the level where there is no reason to leave the
Hotel or Resort, all your needs should be met including laundry, food and
communication, if you have to leave for any reason, you are paying too much. This
includes to buy tours, plane tickets and money exchange.

- This is the level where debauchery is allowed, can what you do is your moral
responsibility. This is where Kings and Queens can relax and have an affair and all
will be kept private. "What happens in this Hotel, stays in this Hotel." The moral
standards of the country are not enforced inside the Hotel.
List of Worst to Least Problem- This includes all type of Travel Rooms
Addendum: of Problems
Note: Internet Access is best at the very bottom and very top, in between is a
problem. Generally, a Mom and Pop hotel will provide Internet for their children, and
keep it working good.
Note: Dirty Hotel is subjective, hard to evaluate, a person has to live 150 days a year
in a Hotel before I could say this is an opinion worth listening too in the price range of
the person.
Note: I go into Luxury Hotel and use the Swimming Pool, however seldom go in the
room, and need help in this area.
