Frommer's Review
A must for any lover of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. One of Wright's greatest works, this Prairie-style home was designed and constructed between 1903 and 1906. Wright imagined the 10,000-square-foot residence for Martin, who was one of Buffalo's wealthy industrialists and one of Wright's biggest boosters. Its low-slung profile with an emphasis on the horizontal was -- and remains -- an amazing piece of architecture. A tour of the inside reveals the architect's genius for expanding spaces and hiding bookcases. A painstaking, masterful restoration has re-created parts of this house from scratch; walking through it truly gives you an appreciation for Wright's genius. With more re-creation (and a new visitor center) on the way, this site will become even more breathtaking.

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.
