Frommer's Review
From the 1300s, the Red Lion continues to accommodate wayfarers from London on their way to the West Country. This Best Western-affiliated hotel no longer reigns supreme in town -- we prefer the White Hart and the Rose and Crown -- but it's a fine choice. Cross under its arch into a courtyard with a hanging, much-photographed creeper, a red lion, and a half-timbered facade, and you'll be transported back to an earlier era. This antiques-filled hotel is noted for its unique clock collection, which includes a skeleton organ clock in the reception hall. Each small to medium-size bedroom is individually furnished and tastefully decorated. Two units are spacious enough for families, and the most expensive rooms have four-poster beds.

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.
