The stars are awarded by the services they provide, not how plush it is. All sites offering hotel bookings will advertise the stars they have.........

expedia.com, priceline.com, tripadvisor.com, hotelfinder.com, or even google it.
Or that one with the gnome on the commercial. "I have come to enforece the gurantee!" then he gets run over. Whatever- just go to the ones above. =D
