How this score is computed
Methodology
How this score is computed
total = 0.25 × 86.9 (Guest Experience) + 0.25 × 45 (Group Readiness) + 0.20 × 99 (Setting) + 0.15 × 80 (Dining & Wellness) + 0.15 × 45.7 (Value) = 71.6
Value 45.7 = 0.5 × 52 (editorial base) + 0.5 × 39.3 (from $1,986/night median — Google Hotels, Oct 3, 2026)
Guest Experience 86.9 = 0.5 × 93 (editorial base) + 0.5 × 80.7 (from 4.6★ across 1,047 Google reviews, Oct 18, 2026)
Five pillars, each scored 0–100, weighted per the published methodology. Each pillar is labeled Computed or Editorial above, per venue: Value and Guest Experience convert to a 50/50 blend of the editorial base and the computed input as live rate data and verified guest ratings land; Group Readiness is editorial, anchored to the property facts shown above; Setting and Dining & Wellness are editorial judgments against published criteria. Every change lands in the append-only readings ledger below, and venues may submit verified data for the next edition. No venue pays to be ranked.
