AAA Inspector Favorites: Best of Family Fun Properties
More than 80 years ago, AAA began inspecting lodgings and restaurants with a simple rating system: Good, Very Good, Excellent, and Outstanding. This system was updated in 1976 to the Diamond Rating System, which is still used today. AAA Inspectors not only rate Diamonds for hotels and restaurants in the United States and Canada, but have a designated list of their favorite, “best of” locations. We’ve selected a few of our favorite recommended lodgings that are ideal for creating your perfect family getaway.
