Frommer's Review
Attention, shoppers: Want proximity to Toronto's central shrine to commerce? Consider the Marriott, which is connected to the Eaton Centre. This hotel caters to the tourist crowd: While a good concierge at any hotel can point you in the direction of, say, a hot restaurant, the Marriott has desks set up to facilitate day-trip planning and other activities. Because of its location, this is a fine choice for determined sightseers. One caveat is that the area immediately surrounding the Eaton Centre is pickpocket heaven. On the positive side, it's always busy in this neighborhood; in summer the Yonge-Dundas Square offers open-air concerts and films.
Most of the Marriott's guest rooms are well sized, and all of them now have 32-inch flatscreen TVs. Because you'll find office towers in all directions, blocking many of the views, a pleasant surprise is the view of the beautiful 19th-century Holy Trinity Church from the Parkside restaurant.
Facilities:
3 restaurants; bar; indoor rooftop pool; health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; business center; Wi-Fi; room service; massage; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning

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.
