The Desmond Review

This large hotel and conference center is designed to look like a village of sorts, which it succeeds at in a Disneyesque kind of way. Bellboys are even dressed in faux-Colonial get-ups. But it's actually a pretty good place to stay, with good-size and comfortable rooms with four-poster canopy beds, 18th-century replica furnishings, and lots of floral prints. The hotel is close to the airport and has all the facilities you're likely to need.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; fitness center; limited room service; indoor/outdoor pools

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
