Position is our editorial judgement, not a score. Price is the published level of the area a hotel sits in, not a nightly rate: this site quotes none. There is no sort by rating, because we issue no rating and do not republish anyone else's. Property facts come from authoritative sources; no hotel pays for a place on this list.
