Frommer's Review
Camagüey's most classic hotel dates from 1939. Its clubby, old-world feel is accentuated by an abundance of watering holes -- this midsize hotel has four bars, including the Piano Bar, a great dark place that's one of the best cocktail lounges in Cuba. Another good bar is the spot on the rooftop. There's more to the Gran Hotel than places to wet your whistle, though. It has a medium-size terrace pool that features a nightly show that's part water ballet; a pretty triangular patio with a fountain; a top-floor restaurant with panoramic views; and a handsome, breezy lobby with an old elevator of beautiful wood, and displays of local art and handicrafts. The rooms are nicely appointed and have high ceilings and small TVs. A handful of corner "special" rooms (nos. 1 and 7 on each floor) are the prize, though; they are larger, with separate, but small, sitting rooms and handsome dressers. A few interior rooms on each floor have no windows to speak of.
Facilities:
Restaurant; cafeteria; 4 bars; nightly show; small outdoor pool

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.
