Frommer's Review
Attractive primarily to business travelers and cost-conscious tourists heading to the cruise ships, this Chinese-accented hotel is a bit shopworn, but is in a somewhat quieter downtown location -- on rue Collette opposite the Town Hall -- than is the Hotel Tiare Tahiti Noa Noa. My friend Dick Beaulieu likes to stay at Le Mandarin when he comes over from Fiji because its central-city location puts him close to most offices and many restaurants, thus avoiding a bundle in taxi fares. I don't stay here on Friday, however, since dancers can spill from the noisy nightclub onto the street. Most rooms are rather smallish, but many have narrow balconies with mountain views. There's a coffee shop in the hotel, and Le Mandarin dining room next door is one of the city's better Chinese restaurants.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; laundry service

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.
