Frommer's Review
Just yards down from the front of the Duomo, this was ostensibly the top board-rated four-star hotel in town until the much friendlier Piccolomini opened up. The public spaces' modern art and a few Victorian chairs and antique dressers in the smallish rooms liven things up a bit, but the relatively high price tag and consistently surly service put me off. Although the location is key, it's still disappointing that, less than a block from the cathedral, only a few rooms are blessed with a sliver view of the facade; the breakfast terrace has a better view of it.

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.
