Frommer's Review
Terrifically romantic, this tidy luxury inn is housed in an 1882 building facing the waterfront, and many of the rooms as well as a rooftop terrace offer unobstructed views of Vieux-Port -- a particular treat during those summer nights when there are fireworks on the river or in winter when it's snowing. Exposed brick and stone walls, massive beams, polished hardwood floors, and windows that open define the hideaway bedrooms; number 403, for instance, allows expansive views, space to stretch out, and a king bed. In the late afternoon, guests get a complimentary glass of wine with cheese in Narcisse, the small, sophisticated wine bar off the lobby; live jazz adds to the mood Thursday through Sunday starting at 6pm. The auberge also runs the Lofts du Vieux-Port (www.loftsduvieuxport.com), with suites that have kitchenettes and other amenities for longer stays.

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.
