Frommer's Review
Allson continues to be a strong tourist class hotel in the city's historic district. In 2003 the facade got a complete face-lift, adding a soundproofing layer to keep out traffic noise from busy Victoria Street below. Guest rooms have fresh carpeting, paint, and drapes, and new bed coverings and upholstery. Carved rosewood furniture -- headboards, side tables, and armchairs in quaint Ming-style carvings are an elegant touch for such a moderately priced accommodations. Even the heavy doors leading into the rooms are carved rosewood. Bathrooms have been recently retiled with spotless grout. The small pool area and even smaller gym have received some maintenance touch ups. With a good location and modest prices, Allson is a great choice for value-conscious leisure travelers.

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.
