This is an attempt to classify establishments rating with symbols.
Some game systems provide quality references for eating and sleeping establishments as well as stables.
Does TFT already have something to rate these?
What system do you use to for the GameMaster to rate the establishment?
Michelin stars are a rating system used by the red Michelin Guide to grade restaurants on their quality. ... According to the Guide, one star signifies "a very good restaurant", two stars are "excellent cooking that is worth a detour", and three stars mean "exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey". - Wikipedia
But then you need to rate the lower levels too.
Would something like this work?

I really like Midkemia’s Cities (
http://www.midkemia.com) references to Accomodations, but that is other IP.
Do you rate your inns?
If so how do you do it?
