Marketplace tested six national chains: Super 8, EconoLodge, Best Western, Holiday Inn, Fairmont and Sheraton. We re-tested hotels in Toronto, using the same locations as last year. We tested three rooms per hotel. Testing was conducted in June 2013. We focused on high-touch surfaces and used a variety of tests to look at cleanliness. This included scanning objects with a UV flashlight, testing for contamination using an Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) meter and taking contact plates which were incubated and examined at the University of Guelph by Keith Warriner, one of Canada's top microbiologists. ATP Limits The ATP limits used in the Marketplace story were standards designed by Keith Warriner for our tests last year. These limits were based on standards used in the healthcare and food industry and extended as one would not expect a hotel room to meet the same level of sanitation as a hospital or food processing plant.
