Did you ever hear a 3 star hotel as being an average hotel?

Hotels star rating system only focuses on good.
No, star can also represent bad. It's the lowest mark that matters, not the symbol. When rating music/movies, we use 1 star to 4/5 stars. Look at amazon.com product rating/reviews. People use 1 star to 5 star for rating. Someplaces use different symbols, like thumb/sun/dot. But using one symbol for 1 to 5 is the standard.

BTW, here's what Wikipedia says about hotel star ratings
Quote:
Roughly, the five categories are divided up as follows:

* * (one star) -- low budget hotel
* ** (two stars) -- budget hotel
* *** (three stars) -- middle class hotel
* **** (four stars) -- first class hotel
* ***** (five stars) -- luxury hotel
