Frommer's Review
This five-story all-suite hotel on a busy street was originally built as apartment housing for interns at the hospital nearby. It retains a residential ambience and unexpected amenities such as huge closets, medicine cabinets, and fully equipped kitchens in all rooms (even dishwashers). Poolside barbecue facilities encourage warm-weather mingling. The hotel has a personal, welcoming feel, from the friendly staff to the snacks, soda, beer, and wine served each afternoon and the welcome basket with cookies and microwave popcorn. Rooms are oversize and comfortably furnished, and each has a private balcony. Be prepared for noise from the busy thoroughfare below. Just across the street, you'll find several blocks' worth of restaurants and shops, plus a multiplex cinema. Guest services include a van to the airport, SeaWorld, the zoo, Horton Plaza, and Old Town ($8 per trip).
Facilities:
Outdoor pool; Jacuzzi; coin-op laundry

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.
