Frommer's Review

This modern hotel has borrowed a lot from boutique hotels, and its design has clean lines, along with lots of blond wood, neutral colors, and arty touches like cleverly recessed lights above the beds. Rooms are large and quiet, and it's well located, so it's not at all bad for the price, but there are flaws. Some beds are a bit uncomfortable, and the bathrooms are unimaginatively designed with painfully bright lighting. The breakfast dining room looks too chain-hotelish to be comfortable. In general, although it's still a decent option, this place feels a bit tired, as many hotels that rely on tour bus traffic inevitably do. Note: Keep an eye on the hotel's website -- there are very good deals to be found online.

Facilities:
Restaurant (modern Continental); bar; nonsmoking rooms; Internet room

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.
