Five Diamond establishments go through a more extensive review. AAA first started listing accommodation information in its travel publications in the early 1900's. In 1937, the first field inspectors were hired to inspect hotels, motels and restaurants. In 1963, AAA began to rate all accommodations as good, very good, excellent and outstanding. The current one to five diamond rating system was introduced in 1977 during AAA's 75th anniversary.
