Frommer's Review
This 26-story hotel, located a block west of the Galleria shopping complex, offers extra-large, plainly furnished suites, each with a fully equipped kitchen (including microwave and dishwasher) and a dining area for four people. (A grocery store is 4 blocks away, and Kenny & Ziggy's, a deli with takeout, is even closer.) The bedroom includes two full-size beds or a king size; the sitting room has a sofa or two, armchairs, and a large TV. The furniture and decor are plain but comfortable and ideal for families with small children. Bathrooms are large with plenty of counter space. The hotel is well priced, gets a lot of repeat business, and is a favorite for extended stays. The service is good.
Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; outdoor pool; fitness room; Jacuzzi; concierge; courtesy shuttle; business center; 24-hr. room service (limited menu after 11pm); in-room massage; babysitting; coin-op laundry; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning

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.
