Frommer's Review
In the heart of Place d'Youville, Le Capitole is as gleefully eccentric as the business hotels it competes with are conventional. Rooms are all curves and obtuse angles, borrowing from Art Deco, and feature stars on the carpets and painted clouds on the ceiling. Beds have down duvets, and some rooms feature a bathtub in the corner. Mostly this works to its advantage, though some of the angles and funky furniture are tests to practicality. The owner runs the adjacent music and theater venue, also called Le Capitole and Ristorante Il Teatro. The hotel's entrance is squeezed almost to anonymity between the theater and restaurant -- just head for the theater marquee. Unlike many business hotels nearby, prices are higher rather than lower on the weekends because of theater business.

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.
