The things you're searching for.	December 3, 1999

Holiday Inn #1 with Web Users We scanned the 25,000 top Lycos user queries for the names of hotels, motels, and lodging chains. The results, from the most-searched-for lodgings to the least, are below. Each entry has a percentage ranking compared to the overall leader, Holiday Inn. The 14% ranking of Motel 6 means that for every 100 people who searched for Holiday Inn, 14 searched for Motel 6. The full list: 100%   Holiday Inn 45%    Marriott 28%    Best Western 23%    Hilton 23%    Sheraton 20%    Hampton Inn 20%    Comfort Inn 19%    Hyatt 19%    Days Inn 16%    Radisson 15%    Ramada Inn 14%    Motel 6 13%    Embassy Suites 13%    Doubletree 11%    Holiday Inn Express 9%     Super 8 9%     Westin 7%     Red Roof Inn 6%     Residence Inn 6%     Fairfield Inn 6%     Quality Inn 5%     Bellagio 5%     Ritz Carlton 5%     Four Seasons 4%     Howard Johnsons 4%     Opryland Hotel 4%     Harrahs 4%     Courtyard by Marriott 3%     La Quinta 3%     Travelodge 3%     Wyndham Holiday Inn is the clear leader in user interest, with more than twice as many searches as the Marriott chain and 10 times as many as Super 8. Holiday Inn's budget spinoff, Holiday Inn Express, ranks 15th on its own. Best Western also makes a surprisingly strong showing, beating stalwarts Hilton and Sheraton. But what ever happened to Howard Johnson's? Once a cultural icon, HoJos barely registers. Another surprise is Embassy Suites, which ranks almost last among the mainstream business hotels. Two individual hotels were popular enough to make our list: Nashville's Opryland Hotel and the fancy new Bellagio in Las Vegas. Another gambling-related chain, Harrahs, ranks 27th. Note: all search spellings and variations are included in each hotel's total; for instance, the Quality Inn rank includes searches for Quality Inns and Quality Inn hotels. This list reflects actual terms entered into our search engine by Lycos users during the week ending November 13; it does not imply endorsement of these hotels by Lycos.
