Frommer's Review
This pleasant, convenient hotel and residence has a dining room, patio garden, piano, and library. Formerly for women only, it now accommodates men on one floor of the seven-story building. The dorm-style guest rooms are basic, containing little more than beds, but they're well maintained and comfortable -- not plush, but not cells, either. The well-kept public areas include a 24-hour TV lounge. That description might not seem to justify the prices, but check around a little before you turn up your nose, especially if you plan to spend most of your time out and about.
Facilities:
Cafeteria; computer kiosk w/Internet access ($1/10 min.); coin-op laundry; rooms for those w/limited mobility

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.
