Summer is here, which means baseball-obsessed people all over the U.S. are hopping in planes, trains, and automobiles to visit MLB fields around the country. To help these fanatic fans/hotel guests, we will be looking at ballparks around the country and give you a quick rundown of your closest, safest, and best hotel options. "America's Favorite Pastime" with some of America's finest second cities--what is not to love? If you got any hotel questions or suggestions or even better, firsthand baseball park hotel reviews, send them here and share them with other MLB fans--even if they are Yankee fans.

So technically, our MLB Travel map was supposed to cover the U.S. but how we can ignore our neighbors to the North? Especially when they have a super ballpark hotel in Toronto at The Renaissance Toronto Hotel Downtown. A tipster informed us that the hotel "has 70 rooms in the outfield of the ex-Sky Dome now Rodgers Centre."

Indeed, the Renaissance Toronto offers 70 such rooms--often listed as "View" or "Park View" rooms. Naturally, the best time to book one of these rooms is during a baseball game if you are a Toronto Bluejays fan or a fan of whomever the Bluejays are playing.

There is one minor glitch with these field view rooms as one guest wrote:

However, this meant 24-hr floodlighting as the roof was closed also.

Then other reviewers complained that in the off-season if nothing was going on in the dome, there were no lights on at all giving a view of essentially nothingness. And looking at an empty stadium can be pretty depressing.

We say try some of Toronto's boutique hotels like Hotel Le Germain or the SoHo Metropolitan, both sleek and stylish modern hotels.

Where Stray-Rod and The Blonde Would Stay: We already know the scandalous duo hit up the Four Seasons in Toronto where they were infamously snapped by paparazzi. So maybe next time around they would pick a more discrete location. Or they could try another one of Canada's homegrown luxury hotel chains, The Fairmont Royal York.
