Hotel & Hospitality Classification Standards
Why Classification Matters
The travel industry loves stars but let’s be honest: Not all stars are earned. At My Concierge Now, we launched The Concierge Standard™ to redefine hotel ratings from the guest’s perspective: no partnerships, no paid reviews, no bias. Just truth.Today’s travelers — from high-net-worth individuals to corporate clients — expect transparency, hygiene, and consistency. Star ratings are no longer just a marketing badge. They’re a contract of trust.
MyConcierge Now™ offers classification audits modeled on international benchmarks (including Dubai DTCM and French COFRAC), adapted for U.S.-based properties seeking credibility, client satisfaction, and regulatory protection
Why Classification Matters
Our team evaluates over 120 guest-focused criteria, including:
- Customer service quality and staff professionalism
- Housekeeping standards, hygiene protocols, and room cleanliness
- Safety compliance, fire code adherence, and DOB records
- Transparency in food & beverage sourcing and labeling
- Air quality, noise levels, and climate control effectiveness
- Shower pressure, presence of mold, and towel cleanliness
- Responsiveness of room service and communication accessibility
- Mattress condition, privacy levels, and overall sleep experience
- Hidden fees, damage deposits, billing practices, and clarity
- Lighting, view, scent, and the energy of the space
We also assess how staff respond when confronted with concealed issues — from dirty bedding to health violations. Their reaction matters as much as the condition itself.
Because clean sheets, safe rooms, and honest service aren’t perks: they’re the bare minimum.
Our job isn’t to flatter hotel brands. It’s to protect guests.
And if that makes some managers uncomfortable? Good.
New York Public Health Law § 1346
DIRTY LINEN IS THE MOST COMMON HEALTH VIOLATION IN HOTELS.
Let’s be clear: it’s not just gross. It’s illegal.
Under New York Public Health Law § 1346, hotels are required to provide clean sheets, towels, and pillow slips for every guest — no exceptions. But here’s what really happens behind that “luxury” branding:
Hotels hide filthy pillows under triple-stacked pillowcases.
They cover mattress protectors soaked in yellow stains with crisp white sheets — hoping you’ll never look underneath.
The duvet is rarely washed, and the blankets are recycled between guests more often than not.
It may look spotless at check-in — but underneath the surface?
Sweat, body fluids, skin cells, bacteria, mold, and viral remnants from past guests are waiting for you.
These conditions aren’t just unhygienic — they’re a real health hazard:
✔ Skin infections
✔ Asthma & allergy triggers
✔ Fungal and bacterial exposure
✔ Even risk of MRSA and norovirus transmission
Hotels rely on guests not checking.
We check everything.
We lift the covers. We unzip the pillows. We photograph the mattress.
And when it’s dirty — we report it, document it, and flag the violation.
Your health is not optional. Neither is compliance.
