Defining Requirements and AAA Diamond <br />Rating Guidelines <br />It is important to note the difference between AAA Approval Requirements and Diamond Rating Guidelines as this <br />concept is often misunderstood. The evaluation process is made up of three parts: Approval Requirements, objective <br />Diamond Rating Guidelines, and subjective elements based on the professional experience and training of AAA <br />inspectors — who visit over 32,000 lodgings each year. <br />The essential AAA Approval Requirements are common -sense qualifications that AAA members have told us are <br />important to them and, similarly, that most professional operators routinely employ. All properties must first meet <br />this set of criteria in order to be considered for AAA Approval and Diamond Rating. <br />The Diamond Rating Guidelines are not rating requirements, but are components used to determine the <br />aooropriate Diamond Rating level. Diamond Rating guidelines are simply a reflection of what is typically seen <br />throughout the various market segments of the lodging industry. Therefore, failure to meet some of the components <br />listed for the ratings categories does not necessarily preclude the achievement of that rating. During our evaluation, <br />inspectors will assess the strengths and weaknesses of the property and assign the most appropriate rating that will <br />provide the best match in meeting AAA member expectations. <br />Furthermore, not all of the Diamond Rating Guidelines will apply to all property types. For example: meeting rooms <br />would not be expected at a Bed & Breakfast property, but would be essential at a convention- oriented hotel. Also, the <br />availability and type of swimming pool will be dictated by climatic influences and /or the property classification. AAA <br />inspectors will only use the sections of the Diamond Rating Guidelines that are appropriate for the property <br />classification in assessing the overall Diamond Rating. <br />Applying For a AAA Diamond dating <br />AAA CONSIDERS ALL VALID APPLICATIONS FOR EVALUATION. To be considered a valid applicant for AAA <br />evaluation, lodging properties must meet all of the Approval Requirements for their property category. These <br />minimum requirements reflect members' basic expectations. <br />Prior to completing an Application For <br />Evaluation (provided at: <br />www.AAA.biz /AO roved), please review <br />the requirements to verify your <br />property's eligibility to apply. <br />Currently listed establishments <br />need not reapply, as our inspectors <br />will routinely conduct an <br />evaluation of your property on a <br />continual basis. <br />Include recent and accurate pictures of <br />the exterior, public areas, as well as <br />examples of a standard guest unit and <br />bathroom, and return to AAA. Please <br />note that if our research indicates past <br />disqualifying issues, you may be asked <br />to provide written documentation of <br />the corrective action taken since then. <br />As of August 1, 2006,: lodging properties that request evaluation by AAA are <br />charged a nonrefundable application fee $150 for first -time applicants and $300 <br />for repeat.. applicants that previously faded an evaluation - orwere disassociated` <br />from AAA for any reason. The fee does not apply to currently Approved and listed <br />establishments that remain in good standing ;. <br />Please do not send a. payment with the initial application. On receipt of your <br />Application For Evaluation AAA will provide written notice . regarding the status of <br />your application and;: if accepted for further consideration, an invoice for your <br />application fee. On receipt of payment, AAA will schedule your property for an <br />unannounced evaluation within one year. <br />All application fees should be made in U.S. funds and are nonrefundable and will <br />have no bearing on the outcome of evaluations. AAA conducts property <br />evaluations as a service to members, and does not guarantee that all applicants <br />will be Approved and listed 'in member publications. <br />Basic listings are provided without charge to Approved properties. <br />_I_ <br />55E -9 <br />
