Frommer's Review
After escaping a close call in 1975 (the city wanted to tear it down to build a parking lot), a 4-year, $12-million restoration in the mid 1990s brought the 1796 State House new luster. Upstairs on the right is the Senate chamber, with a full-length painting of the first president by the indefatigable Washington portraitist Gilbert Stuart. Three eras of architecture are represented: Federal (Senate Chamber), Victorian (City Council Chamber), and Colonial Revival (upper hall and stairs). Also on the second floor is the "Museum of Natural and Other Curiosities," which includes a calf with two heads and the horn of a unicorn.

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.
