Frommer's Review
If you're a diehard baseball fan, this Marriott hotel is a dream come true -- 70 rooms overlook the verdant Astroturf of the Rogers Centre, home of the Toronto Blue Jays. The field-view rooms are amazing if you remember one thing: The view goes both ways. Soon after it opened, the hotel became notorious when the amorous antics of a pair of guests showed up on the JumboTron, the giant screen that's supposed to be showing the on-field action. The incident is now a minor local legend. The lesson: All rooms have shades; remember to use them! The guest rooms are all a good size, but there's a definite pecking order: Rooms that face the city are the least expensive, with uninspiring views. Still, this is a strong contender as a tourist hotel -- it's in a great location for theater, dining, and sights.

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.
