Frommer's Review
Shades of red are everywhere: in the staff's red-striped shirts, in the accent pillows on the retro furniture, and in the artwork. Rouge guest rooms have deep crimson drapes at the window and a floor-to-ceiling red "pleather" headboard for your comfortable, white-with-red-piping duvet-covered bed. The dressing room holds an Orange Crush?colored dresser, where the built-in minibar holds such red goodies as Hot Tamales candies, red wax lips, and Red Bull. Rooms are spacious enough to easily accommodate several armchairs and a large ottoman (in shades of red and gold), a number of funky little lamps, a huge mahogany-framed mirror leaning against a wall, and a 10-foot-long mahogany desk. Fifteen specialty guest rooms include "Chill Rooms," which have a chaise longue and a little sitting-room area, DVD player, and PlayStation and Wii; and "Chow Rooms," which have a microwave and refrigerator.
Facilities:
Restaurant/bar; children's amenity program; modest-size fitness center; room 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.
