Price ranges run the gamut from just a few dollars a night to thousands of

fixed costs to total costs. The high level of these costs stem from the fact that hotels must constantly be managed to achieve the most costeffective usage of resources applied to decor, equipment, preoperational expenses and finance. The aim of hotels is to fill their rooms as profitable as possible as a result some of the most important thing that the hotel industry must realize is that it must be able to market themselves and provide quality services so that customers will want to return back to the hotel. The demands of these two characteristics are very high and it requires a lot of effort. In terms of building a hotel, the capital requirements for a hotel project are so high that hotel cannot easily be traded and must remain as a longterm investment purpose.

Amenities, location, packages, rates, special offers - just a few of the many factors that are considered when choosing the functions of a hotel. I was very curious to see how different types of hotels differ in what they offer, how they offer it, and where they offer it. These services are extremely significant because they are what define a hotel. They define what type of guests they are targeting, what type of hotel they want to be perceived as, and what level of service they want to deliver to their guests. The impression of the hotel left on the guest is essential for the success of the hotel. The idea of adding amenities to keep up with competition or getting creative with services offered is not new.

By comparing an average 2-3 star hotel with a 5-star hotel, I was able to gain a better understanding of the different services offered in hotels and the different expectations that certain guests have in their stay.
