Please tell me whether they are correct or not.

1-The hotel is five stars rated.
2-It is a five star hotel.
3-John has a 6 foot tall son.
4-John's son is 6 feet (tall).
5-He is about five-feet tall.

Write them like this:

1) The hotel is rated '5 stars'.
2) It's a 5-star hotel.
3) John has a six-foot-tall son.
4) John's son is six feet tall.
5) He's about five feet tall.

I think 1) and 2) are better with numerals instead of words. For 4) and 5), you could equally uses numerals:

4) John's son is 6' tall.
5) He's about 5' tall.
