Frommer's Review
This hotel lives up to its namesake and delivers solid comfort. We used to pass it by, considering it just another "bandbox" sterile relic from the 1960s. Then in the '90s it was radically upgraded, renovated, and reconfigured until it became a most desirable choice for an overnight. The result is a tastefully decorated building built of ocher brick and touches of marble. The decor throughout draws on upscale models from England and France, and includes chintz curtains, varnished mahogany, often with wood inlays, and warm colors inspired by autumn. Rooms are nice and cozy -- not particularly large, but well maintained, with tasteful fabrics, frequently renewed linen, and small but adequate bathrooms equipped with shower units. As a thoughtful touch, a fresh flower is often placed on your pillow at night.

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.
