BOISE, ID – AAA congratulates the five hotels and two restaurants in Idaho that have been awarded a AAA Four Diamond Designation this year.
AAA’s full-time inspectors arrive unannounced at more than 59,000 hotels and restaurants in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean each year. After checking that a location meets industry-leading standards for cleanliness, inspectors award a Diamond designation based on the level of service and amenities offered. Four Diamond, the second-highest designation, is awarded to some of the most noteworthy hotels and restaurants.

AAA hotel inspections include ATP surface testing, the same technology used to verify cleanliness in the healthcare and food service industries. For more information on AAA Inspected Clean hotels, visit AAA.com/Diamonds.
Diamond restaurants are assessed based on their food, service, and overall vibe. Inspectors dine at these properties anonymously to ensure that they will have a typical dining experience.
A full list of Diamond designations, which are based on objective criteria and published guidelines, can be found in AAA TourBooks online and through the AAA Mobile App.
