Title: Porto Rio Hotel; City: Rio Achaea Region West Greece; Review: Reading the previous reviews, I feel embarassed... Did we spent our holiday week in the same hotel...? Is it possible, that only the timeshare guests have the privilege to get such battered apartment, with crumbling wallpaper, with very incomplete kitchen utensils etc, looking on the 'romantic' car parking? There were always ants in the room We've never been in such an under-standard timeshare apartment! Sleeping ... There is a casino in the hotel, and during night and early morning guests (and staff) leave the hotel rather noisy with cars and motorbikes. No chance to sleep with open window, and the guy always leaving the hotel at about 4 am with a Harley-like bike coud us wake up also through closed windows. Yes, the pool area is really good, the beech itself is agreeable, but nothing extraordinary. The restaurants and bars are expensive, fortunately, there are several restaurants in a walking distance on the beach promenade. The close environment is neither nice, nor interesting, except for the new bridge and the Fort Rio, in two kilometer distance, but their environment is also messy. The staff is friendly.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Smart Selection Hotel Bristol; City: Lovran Istria; Review: Old fashioned hotel for people not requiring extra services (e.g. fitness room, air conditioned rooms). Nice atmosphere of the early 20th century. Friendly staff, cleanness, cared environment, quietness. Beds are not for people with back issues (mattresses are unconfortable and the beds are creaky). Buffet restaurant with acceptable, but not extra quality. Rocky/concreted beach in front of the hotel, the water is clean (rich in fishes). Location: Lovran is an amazing little resort close to Opatija (good bus connection). The hotel is close to the little old town and marina, there is a long, atmospheric winding promenade along the beach. The Istria peninsula itself is worth to visit, not only the well known cities, like Rovinj, Pula and Porec, but take trips inside the peninsula, too.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Walwyck Hotel Brugge; City: Bruges West Flanders Province; Review: Little, friendly, clean hotel in the historic centre of Brugge (five minute walk). Simple but ingenious furnishing, very friendly staff. Breakfast from 8, but upon request, also earlier. Steep trairs, slope ceiling (I regularly hit my head into the ceiling, when entering the bathroom); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dedeman Club Bodrum; City: Bitez Bodrum Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: We spent with my wife two weeks (RCI) here, and changed the appartment for the second week. First, if you don't have or rent a car, forget Dedeman. Forget the pleasent, easy evening walks, because the immediate environment of the resort (outside the fences) is dirty, the streets are unfriendly and VERY STEEP. If you want to walk to Gümbet (an area with shops, restaurants, beach etc.), it takes about 15-20 minutes, but is an extremely inconvenient walk, especially back to the hotel. There are 2 free shuttles to beaches (once a day), one to Gümbet beach, one to Bitez beach. You won't get any useful info at the reception about the beaches. Forget the Gümbet one!!! It takes you to a small, dirty beach (between two well equipped hotel beaches where you don't have access), with a few small, fixed parasols and sunbeds, and you have a good chance to remain without shadow. The Bitez is OK. This shuttle is provided by the restaurant "New Season", where you get free and good parasols, sunbeds, and the restaurant has a very good cuisine (taste their rose wine!), but you are not obliged to consume there. The hotel: The pool area is its best part. Clean, well equipped, nice, and provides the best panorama in Bodrum. The restaurant is mediocre, the a'la carte choice is very small. The garden is mostly nice, and well maintained. The appartments: The furniture is old, and seems never been washed or cleaned. The electric hob is dirty, the dishes, utensils are incomplete. The tiles in the shower seem never been washed, the tile joints are mouldy. However, the daily cleaning is correct. The A/C is working. If you have a good luck, you'll have an appartment upstairs, with a beautiful panorama, if you have bad luck, your terrace looks onto a fence and a dustbin. But, if your appartment looks onto the panoramic Gümbet, you cannot sleep at open window, since you can 'enjoy' the programme of all discos, until early morning. The staff is really friendly and helpful, but sometimes their english is very limited. Programmes: Visit bodrum (dolmus bus takes there in 20 minutes - 3 TL), the Bodrum castle and the museum is very interesting (20 TL). Eat at restaurant, where local people ar dining - these are cheaper, and offer excellent local food. One day boat trip with dinner 10 €, one-day trip to Dalyan 30 €, two-day trip to Ephes-Pamukkale with hotel, dinner, breakfest, lunch, entrance fees and hotel transfer 60 €, all worth. They are well organized, with english/russian/polish etc. guide. You can book them at any agency. But, because of the location of the hotel, in the morning, you are the first picked up, and at the end, you are tke last dropped. p.s.: there are very nice and friendly cats all over the garden.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Villa Nova; City: Neum Herzegovina Neretva Canton; Review: Good, well equipped large, airconditioned room. Beautiful seeview. Free wi-fi, flat TV (a bit old, but works). Very clean - not only the room, but the whole facility. Daily change of towels, you always see somebody to clean something around the hotel, beach area etc. Own beach with sunbeds etc. Extremly helpful staff, Teresa helps in any request - organizing daily trips, advising routes etc. Food simple but OK. (We could not find a real good restaurant in Neum at all. If you want good food, go to Ston on Peljesac.) Sometimes, at night loud disco music comes from the promenade, but you can close it out - the window has extremely good noise insulation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Discovery; City: Kutaisi Imereti Region; Review: New, small hotel, a few meters from Kutaisi centre. Well equipped, large rooms. ENGLISH SPEAKING, freinedly, helpful staff. Kutaisi is a good starting point for excursions, and the city itself is worth visiting.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gino Wellness Rabath Hotel and Spa; City: Akhaltsikhe Samtskhe Javakheti Region; Review: The hotel situated Inside the romantic Akhaltsikhe Castle. Large, well equipped rooms, wellness with jacuzzi, sauna and other features. Restaurant with acceptable prices and quality, good breakfast compared to other Georgian hotels. More or less english speaking staff.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ankara Plaza Hotel; City: Ankara; Review: Good location, friendly staff. The rooms are large enough, good slleping quality. Some equipment need maintenance - e.g. fixing of the toilet paper holder, leaking of the toilet e.t.c. The TV remote control and the fridge of the minibar didn't work at arrival, but they fixed them quickly. Free WiFi, free PC in the lobby. Excellent breakfast with wide choice of cheese, olives etc. Free mineral water in the room. Close to Kizilay (metro and bus stations), many restaurants and bars nearby.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Reyhani Kasri Hotel; City: Mardin Mardin Province; Review: A fabulous hotel in the middle of a city of incredible location. Marvellous panorama from my window and from the terraces of the romantic facility. The room is nicely and confortably furnished (two flat TV - one for watching from bed and one large for watching from 2 leather armchairs - I do not turned on either :o)). Good breakfast and excellent lunch, very friendly staff (but sometimes with limited English).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: North Point Hotel; City: Denizli; Review: Good, modern hotel, a bit far for downtown and public transport. Take a minibus for downtown (ask hotel staff the direction to tell the driver), or take a long walk. The rooms are well equipped and clean. My room was large enough (suite), and confortable. Staff is OK, breakfast as usual in a Turkish 4* hotel (greens, cheeses, marmelades, some pastries, eggs). Denizli itself is not a touristic destination, but a good departure point for Pamukkale and Laodicea.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sultan Palace Hotel; City: Istanbul; Review: I choose this hotel, because it is in 5 minute walk from the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, Topkapi Palace etc. For an affordable price, you get a clean room with nice furnitures, a very good breakfast, and a helpful, kind staff. Our room had a strange layout with a corridor-like part leading to the window (French balkony), and therefore it was not too bright. But who on earth want to stay in the hotel daytime in Istambul? The only thing that may boter you, the early morning call for prayer from the next door mosque. But, you are in a muslim city of 15 million inhabitants...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: SeaGull Studios; City: Stalis Crete; Review: Simple, clean, little studio with minimal but well usable kitchen corner. We were lacking racks for storing cloths.The shower cabinet is extra small, with shower curtain always sticking on your body. The Seagull Studios is headed by Ms. Helen Papoutsaki, and all the staff, including her Mother is very friendly and helpful, sometimes surprising us with small gifts - vegetables, olive etc. Beautiful, continuously maintained flower garden in front of the balkony, nice view to the sea. No sunbeds and shades of the facility, but all other hotels etc. nearby offer these for you for daily EUR 4-5. I suggest Palm Beach Hotel's facilities (third hotel towards Malia - you can recognise the group of palm trees and the well maintained grass, where you can get also a good buffet lunch including drinks for EUR 10). Here the sandy beach is also much better, without stones. For dinners I recommend Mary's Place nearby Seagull, with a jolly young staff, very good quality quisine and good price.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Ibis Hong Kong Central Sheung Wan; City: Hong Kong; Review: I've stayed in Ibis hotels in different countries, and the standard has always been the same. Clean, functional and value for money. The beds are hard, but I like that. The only 'quirk' with this hotel is that some of the elevators do not go all the way to the ground floor, only to the 5th floor (where the reception is). The breakfast buffet has a mixture of eastern and western food, and there is plenty to chose from. Train, tram and bus access is within an easy walk. The HK/Macau Ferry Terminal is also not too far away. The Sheung Wan Cooked Food Market is literally around the corner if you like value for money meals. ATM facilities, 7-11, VnGo, Wellcome supermarket and a laundromat are also available via a short walk. Would have no hesitation in staying here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Hong Kong North Point; City: Hong Kong; Review: Having stayed in both Ibis hotels on HK Island, there's no doubt the Ibis in Sheung Wan is a better hotel, but it also costs appreciably more. The rooms are bigger and the breakfast buffet is better. But, if you are looking for a budget hotel on HK Island, the Ibis North Point should come under consideration. Pros: - Walking distance to all major forms of transport. The MTR entrance is less than a minute walk, the ferry port around 5-10 minutes, as well as the bus terminus (note this a terminus, not a single bus stop, so there are several bus routes available here). - Close and easy access to Wellcome, 7-11 and ATMs. - In-house restaurant prices are more than reasonable (10% service charge applies). I had dinner one night at Tung Po, which was noticeably more expensive. Serving sizes are good, plus at dinner time you have unlimited tea/coffee/soft drinks and soup available. - Plenty of other eating options within easy walking distance. - Nice firm bed. This may not be to everyone's liking, but personally I find the Ibis beds great. - Should you need them, medical and dental facilities are next door. Cons: - The rooms are quite small. I had a harbor view room, which I believe is slightly bigger than the cheapest rooms. For a solo traveler it's quite OK, but for couples they might find a bit more of a squeeze. - There are only two elevators (and one after midnight). Sometimes it can be a wait for the elevator. The elevators are also small and can be a squeeze at times. - This side of the Island line is noticeably busier than the opposite side (where the Ibis Sheung Wan) is located. - I think it's impossible to not flood the bathroom floor whilst using the shower. - The depth of the desk was impossibly narrow, I could barely fit a laptop (upright) and external keyboard/mouse. Only some rooms have this problem, based on pictures other rooms have a different shaped desk with much more depth in places. Keep in mind the Airport Express Shuttle Bus does not stop here. The closest stop is the City Garden hotel, which is around a 20+ minute walk, depending upon your pace. In hindsight is probably easier to use the A11 airport bus which finishes at the North Point Ferry Pier terminus.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Novotel Melaka; City: Melaka Central Melaka District Melaka State; Review: This a nice hotel in a good location, close enough to walk to for all the main sites. However: - On my first day there was a complimentary water/juice station next to the bar. Perfect for a refuel after a day in the heat. But I never saw it again - disappointing. - The water pressure was very weak and the hot water barely got above the lukewarm. Given the heat it wasn't a huge problem but it should be a little better than this - Hot food options at breakfast were lukewarm both days in a row. For a four star hotel the range seemed a bit limited. Nice juices however. The room itself was nice and clean and spacious, however the power outlet for the kettle had come away from wall when I arrived. Whilst it was electrically sound and the kettle worked just fine, it wasn't a good look. As my stay was short I reported this when I left, but I am surprised it was not reported by housekeeping previously. As per usual, the welcome drink offered to Le Club Accor members is pretty basic. This needs to improve across the board. So overall, this is a good hotel but there is room for improvement.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Nippondaira Hotel; City: Shizuoka Shizuoka Prefecture Tokai Chubu; Review: This hotel is a bit out of the way, but if you're lucky enough to get great view of Mt Fuji like I did, you won't be complaining. You can access the hotel via a shuttle bus outside Shizuoka station, plus there is a public bus (more of a coach really) that runs far less frequently if you need it. The rooms are nice and spacious and well equipped. Breakfast was also great, with a mix of western and eastern cuisine. Having your breakfast while staring at Mt. Fuji in full view is a rare treat and one I'll remember forever. Be warned that views of Mt Fuji are highly weather dependent and definitely not guaranteed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Garden Hotel Kanazawa; City: Kanazawa Ishikawa Prefecture Hokuriku Chubu; Review: The hotel is literally across the road from Kanazawa station, which is great. However: - WiFi performance was hugely erratic - Bed and pillows felt kind of weird, not the usual rock hard Japanese style I'm used to. - Air conditioning is centrally controlled. You cannot adjust the temperature, just the fan speed. The only other way to adjust the temperature is to open the window. I wouldn't stay here again unless I had no other option.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: First Cabin Kyobashi; City: Chuo Tokyo Tokyo Prefecture Kanto; Review: This was easily the most modern hotel I stayed out throughout my travels in Japan. I stayed in a first class cabin which gives you enough space for a suitcase and backpack if necessary. There is also a lockable under-bed drawer which was big enough to fit my backpack, and a bag filled with dirty laundry (you do not need to check out everyday like other capsule hotels). The shower/washroom areas were always very clean, Security is also very good. You need to swipe to access your floor via the elevator, and then swipe again to access your room on that same floor. However, you will need good ear plugs and an eye mask. The ear plugs for drowning out snorers (there's always one) and other background noise late at night, and an eye mask for keeping ambient light out. The curtain in each capsule does still let in a decent amount of light so provided you keep those two things in mind this capsule hotel represents good value in Tokyo. It is also an easy walk from Tokyo station, as well as the Kyobashi and Takaracho subway stations. There is a Family Mart a 1-2 minute walk away for breakfast. The hotel is hidden away in a laneway so you may need to use your phone's navigation to help find it initially.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Click Hotel Taipei Main Station Branch; City: Zhongzheng District Taipei; Review: From street level you might miss the entrance completely, and the ground floor of the building the hotel is in looks rather dated, which might cause you some concern, but once you're on the 5th floor everything changes. The hotel is neat, clean and has very spacious rooms. In comparison to many other hotels in Asia, these are huge! No problem if you have multiple (and big) suitcases. The bathrooms are nice and spacious. You could even store luggage in there and have plenty of room to move around if you wanted to. The staff are very friendly and speak good English. It's always nice to have staff who remember you and greet you with a "welcome back". There is complimentary coffee/teas, snacks/lollies, a microwave and small oven for cooking food if you wish. The washing machine and dryer are of a very good standard (Whirlpool brand), and cost NTD50 (using 5x 10 NTD coins) per load per machine. You can also purchase washing powder for NTD20 if you wish, but I had my own. 7-11's, Family Marts, ATMs and plenty of food choices are available on street level, or you can venture down into Taipei Main Station to eat as well. There are complimentary steamed buns for breakfast, and your room will be re-stocked with snacks and some soft drinks / water on a daily basis. Exit Z8 puts you right outside the entrance for the hotel, but this exit is a flight of stairs, so if you have luggage you could try Exit Z4 (which has an elevator), K12 (which has an escalator) or simply come out one of main entrances of Taipei Main Station at ground level. If you need a landmark, look for the giant Panasonic electronic billboard. You'll see a sign for the hotel just below it. I would have no hesitation in coming back to Click Hotel if I am staying in Taipei again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotelday Hualien; City: Hualien City Hualien; Review: This is quite a funky little hotel, only a short walk from Hualien Station. The rooms are spacious and clean. One unique feature is that almost every power outlet is universal, so if you forgot your travel adaptor it's quite likely you will be able to plug your power cables directly into the outlet anyway. Breakfast is predominately Asian-based with some Western offerings. Some of the hot food like chips and chicken nuggets were lukewarm rather than hot which was a little bit disappointing, but I was mainly interested in eating the Asian dishes anyway. Interestingly, housekeeping was not provided every day, only every second or third day. I am not sure if this hotel policy or based upon the package I selected. Either way, it wasn't really an issue. The cosmetic products provided smell quite nice too :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Jelenia Gora; City: Jelenia Gora Lower Silesia Province Southern Poland; Review: Whilst the lobby is quite new and fresh looking, the rooms themselves are a little bit dated but still functional. Breakfast is good. The hotel location is also in a relatively quiet spot as well. However, the picture quality of the in-room TV, as well as in the downstairs lobby, was awful. Normally you don't go on holidays to watch TV so it's not something I'd care about, but this was during the FIFA World Cup and it'd would've been nice to see it with a sharp picture rather than the grainy, blocky version on display. I imagine they are using the same TV signal and splitting across all the rooms? In any case, the hotel itself is quite inexpensive and for 99% of occasions is probably still quite OK.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Tamu Hotel Suites Kuala Lumpur; City: Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: This hotel has the potential to be much better than it's current rating. + The location is good, close to Kampung Baru LRT, and plenty of food stalls + The view from the breakfast and pool areas is very nice (although there is some high rise construction going on which is inevitable) + The breakfast spread is very good + No complaints with the room tiself However: - The WiFi is TERRIBLE. It's the worst hotel WiFi I've ever experienced. A dial-up modem would be faster! - The service also needs improving. Requested an additional bar of soap, never got it. Went to breakfast one morning (which I'd paid for), only to be told I hadn't. Fortunately I had a copy of my booking on hand to prove otherwise. If they could fix their IT issues, then this would get 4 stars. Fix the service as well, and you get a 5 star result. So much untapped potential here. As others have noted the hotel is across the road from a mosque, and the call to prayer may or may not be bothersome to some. Personally I could barely hear it from my room.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dorsett Putrajaya; City: Putrajaya Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: This is a really nice hotel, embedded within a very quiet shopping center complex. There is a supermarket literally next to the hotel if you need any snacks or emergency supplies. The shopping center itself is very quiet, and there are a couple of dining options available if necessary. Across the road (at least on Fridays and weekends), food trucks are setup in the evenings if you want to try something different. The nearest ATM is about 5-10 minuted walk away. The hotel rooms are what I expected. Nice, spacious and well presented. Nothing wrong here. The breakfast buffet is also very good. WiFi speeds and reliability also very good. I had a room with a balcony, which was a refreshing change as most hotels no longer offer something like this. However, the view you would get from the balcony is the same as from the rooftop pool area. You do get a good view of both the Steel Mosque and the Putrajaya lake area from either spot, so I'm not sure the extra cost is worth it. The rooftop pool area is nice and clean. I had the entire pool to myself one afternoon. It runs from 7am to 7pm daily. I can't really fault the hotel. If you do want to check out other parts of Putrajaya, be prepared to either walk, use Grab, or try your hand at public transport.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Star Wars: Children of the Jedi; Author: Visit Amazon's Barbara Hambly Page; Review: I think the complaints have been covered in the previous reviews. I was very disappointed with this book and out of about 50+ SW books I have read, this was the only one I disliked...let alone despised. Hamblys descriptions are long, monotonous and don't really describe much besides "Ithor is windy and full of trees(albeit more poetically)." Children of the Jedi is plagued with typos, weak plot, characters(Luke, Han, Liea,etc)who are out of character...not to mention that it was just plain dumb! It turned me off of the SW universe until I picked up another book written by a better author. This book is just plain stupid...the wording, the descriptions, the story, names, etc. I'm not even going to get into it. Bottom line: Barbara Hambly trashed her peice of the SW Universe. It's almost as if she had only watched "A New Hope" before writing this book and on top of that, she seems to be taking the series where SHE thinks it should be and not where it really(and rightly) is. If all SW was like COTJ I would not be a fan at all. Thankfully, there are much better authors writing the majority of these books. Read a book by Timothy Zahn or A.C. Crispin instead.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Death Troopers: Star Wars (Star Wars (Random House Audio)); Author: Visit Amazon's Joe Schreiber Page; Review: I think I know why Death Troopers is receiving some, in my opinion, unfair nagative reviews. Simply put, Death Troopers is different. It still 'feels' like a Star Wars novel but there is the horror element that I think turns a lot of fans off who seemed to be expecting a standard Star Wars novel. I think this book somehow caught people by surprise who wern't interested in horror or zombies. I read Death Troopers shortly after it was published in 2009 and think it is a breath of fresh air; I hope to see one or two more Star Wars novels(such as Red Harvest) written by Joe Schreiber in the future. I'm not typically a horror genre fan(although I do enjoy zombies) but what I liked about Death Troopers was that, in a period of Star wars novels being released by authors Troy Denning and James Luceno, it was DIFFERENT. It didn't try to be a soap opera and it didn't shove the media or court drama in my face how a lot of the newer Star Wars books from 2008 and onward (Legacy of the Force series, Fate of the Jedi series, Millenium Falcon novel) have been doing. I don't care what the media thinks and I don't enjoy Star Wars when it feels like I'm watching Hollywood Weekly or Judge Judy- I read Star Wars to get away from that drama so naturally I ejoyed Death Troopers' unique and different approach. The surprise appearance of two central SW characters a few chapters into the book only made me more enthusiastic about Death Troopers. I know this book wasn't received with open arms by a lot of SW fans who wern't expecting a horror novel or felt out of thier conmfort zone, and it certainly is not a childerens novel but it is without a doubt one of the best Star wars novels recently published. If you don't dislike horror and you are a Star Wars fan then read it. I think the negative reviews are only due to shock and 'wholesome-ness." Read the book- it's really good.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Star Wars: Scoundrels (Star Wars - Legends); Author: Visit Amazon's Timothy Zahn Page; Review: If you're a fan of Timothy Zahn or Star Wars books then you'll enjoy Scoundrels. Han Solo is one of my favorite characters so I enjoyed this novel centered around him and Lando.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sorcery and Religion in Ancient Scandinavia; Author: Visit Amazon's Varg Vikernes Page; Review: Varg Vikernes' Sorcery and Religion in Ancient Scandinavia is a refreshing source of information about the beliefs in the title region. In this book, Mr. Vikernes dispels the common explanation for Ragnarok; he explains how Ragnarok and European mythology in general is misinterpreted as a linear event with a beginning and an end. Rather, he explains how Ragnarok was part of a continuing cycle like the changing seasons throughout the year. Sorcery and Religion in Scandinavia also covers other areas, such as the Voluspa, runes and Bronze Age calendar organization. All explanations are skillfully written, keeping the reader interested throughout the book. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in ancient European practices as well as mythology.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Star Wars: Maul: Lockdown; Author: Visit Amazon's Joe Schreiber Page; Review: Very interesting book, I couldn't put it down! I really love what he's contributed to the Star Wars universe. Maul fighting in a prison was a great idea, but there is also a good plot to this story. Darth Plegeuis is involved as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Marius' Mules I: The Invasion of Gaul; Author: Visit Amazon's S. J. A.

Title: OXO 76781 Good Grips 6-Piece Kitchen Essentials Set, Black; Brand: OXO; Review: Ordered these tools as our old ones have been stained by too many washes in the dishwasher. My wife found them on amazon and wanted them so I ordered them. They seem well made and sturdy, however the Caddy that holds them seems cramped. We have only used them a couple of days, but they "feel" like they are high quality kitchen tools. Hopefully the cramped caddy will not be much of an issue. EDIT: Have used these tools for the past year, and they are definately quality tools. The cramped caddy is a little bit of an issue, but the tools have held up nicely to a year of cooking with them.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: FoodSaver V3880 Vacuum Sealing System; Brand: FoodSaver; Review: Like a couple of the other reviewers here, I have been looking at these vacuum sealer products for quite a while. Costco had a killer deal on it a couple of weeks ago, and I was able to pick it up for something like $120.00 dollars. I love shopping at amazon as well, but this was much cheaper than I had seen elsewhere, so I decided to give it a try. I have had it a couple of weeks, and here are my thoughts. 1. This machine is VERY easy to use, using their bags. I had no issue making bags from a roll (the costco bundle came with 2 different size rolls), and sealing using their quart size bags. I have not been able to successfully seal anything using a non foodsaver bag (like re sealing a bag of chips, etc). 2. Its perfect for sorting / storing large portions from your favorite warehouse store. NOTE: When doing meat that is not frozen, pat it as dry as you can, and then (as the instructions will tell you to do if you read through the entire pamphlet), put a folded paper towel in the bag in between the meat and the machine, to catch any juice that is pulled up during the sealing process. This keeps the machine from getting messy, and does NOT effect the seal in any way. 3. There IS "waste" when you make the bag(s). The instructions will tell you that you need to leave at least 4 inches between the edge of the product in the bag and the machine. If you try to skimp on the bag creation, I do not believe the machine will seal properly. Additionally, when you make your own bags, you have about an inch of material on the other side of the seal on each side of the bag you create. This does not bother me, because the machine does a great job of doing what is advertised, and it sure is nice to have non freezer burned meat, and cheese that lasts for what seems like forever in the refridgerator. Given all of this, I would definately purchase it again at this point. I can live with the waste of the bag, as it is saving me money on food (or lack of food waste). Make sure to read the directions, including the "recommendations" section. There are a lot of tips in there (like the paper towel trick, which works flawelessly), and its worth the extra 5-10 minutes reading to get the most out of the product. EDIT: I have now successfully sealed chip bags etc. The trick seems to be that you have to cut the bag across the top (making sure it is a chip bag that has that metallic like inside), and then smooth the bag down and insert into the machine (making sure to push the button that makes it only seal, and not try to vacuum). You need to get the bag all the way into the machine, which can be a little difficult...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Keurig 2700 Keurig Vue V700 Single serve coffee system, 1, Black/silver; Brand: Keurig; Review: A Little context... My family and I love our morning coffee, and also have owned 2 tassimo machines, as well as 3 Keurig Machines made by Cuisenart. We really loved the operation of the Cuisenart k-Cup machine, but they broke down on us after 6-8 months of use each time. We cleaned / descaled, etc but they would all stop working after that amount of time. Second, I did not buy my VUE from Amazon. Not sure if that matters to anyone, but there it is (and I DO own it). We really like this machine. For people who mention the noise, the machine is MUCH more quiet than the K-Cup machine by Cuisenart. It makes a "pulsing" sound at the beginning of the brew cycle, and then a stream at the end. We are really liking the brew choices as well. The coffee selection is not nearly as diverse as the k-cup selection, but it has most of our favorites (caribou, donut shop, nantucket). These are all the same brands as the k-cups we used to buy. The same brand out of the vue tastes slightly better, especially since you can change the cup size, and strength a bit. The cuisenart k-cup machine allows you to select 4-6-8-10 and 12 oz sizes as well, but anything other than 8 oz always tasted too watery to me. With the VUE, I can brew it at 10oz and select strong, and it tastes better than 8oz of the k-cup. The cups themselves are more expensive, but its still much cheaper than starbucks etc. We like this machine. Not giving it 5 stars due to cost of the cups and slightly limited selection, but the machine seems to be well made, is fairly quiet (relative to the cuisenart machine anyway), and the coffee is at least as good (and most of them are better). UPDATE: My family of 3 (19 year old son, wife and I) have been using this machine daily since purchase. No issues at all to report. Still performing properly, and brewing the appropriate amount of water when selected. Seems to be well made and holding up nicely.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: DII Round Woven Placemat, Set of 6, Variegated Orange Spice - Perfect for Fall, Thanksgiving, Dinner Parties and Weddings; Brand: DII; Review: This is a review of the DII Round woven, indoor and outdoor braided placemat, in garden leaf. Packaging: The 6 pack of MT Round PP Braided Garden Leaf placemats arrived in a flat plastic bag with silica gel pouch. Each mat had a sticker listing the material and care instructions. Simple packaging but no issues with it. Look/Appearance & Feel: The placemats have the appearance of being hand made, soft, shiny and the traditional/french country style. Placemat are made up of 65% linen and 35% polyester. The mint green and white swirl color patterns would work well for a "beach/island" theme, but not for homes that are modern or contemporary designed. The feel of the placemats are somewhat rough and plastic like. Majority of the placemats would not lay completely flat, with the center of the mat "poofing" up just a bit. This adds to the "hand made" look of the item, however if one is looking for a "perfect" type look these do not quite fit the bill for that. Care: The car instructions are to wipe with damp cloth, so they are not machine washable. The material feels like yarn covered with plastic. Performance: When using placemat with a heavy-duty paper plate, we noticed condensation under the mat, on the table. This is common for yarn or woven mats, but not for placemats that have a membrane to protect from this. There was no condensation when a ceramic like plate was used. If you are looking for a placemat that will help protect from spills, this placemat will not protect your table from spills or crumbs, as the placemat is a loose weave pattern. Final Verdict/Overall Thoughts: The price for the set of 6 placemats seems high for the final quality. Although the mats are marketed for indoor/outdoor use, they seem more for use for outdoor get together's, as they are very casual. For indoor occasions, a more substantial mat should be utilized if paper plates are a staple in your household. They are sized very well to be used as a charger however, and would work very well in that capacity.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Blue Dolphin Holiday Resort; City: Yamba New South Wales; Review: We are campers with a family of 5 (3 kids - 7-12) and found that giving the staff a heads up on how you like to set up your site made the stay A1, the site we got suited us perfectly. Everything is so handy and the kids had a ball which meant we could also relax. Constant presence of resort staff around the grounds made safety concerns disappear. Nice work; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Xanadu Holiday Resort; City: Main Beach Gold Coast Queensland; Review: We stayed in a 2 bedroom ocean view apartment - 2 adults and 3 kids (10 - 12 - 15). Room had an amazing view from verandah. It was well layed out, spacious and very comfortable. Grounds and facilities were great for us all. Tennis, spa, sauna, heated pool and modern gym. Only negative was the advertised games room. Nothing like expected compared to other places. It was tiny and pokey with just air hockey and table soccer. If you're going to advertise a games room to attract families it needs to be a bit more than it is. Overall a great getaway; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Couran Cove Island Resort; City: South Stradbroke Island Gold Coast Queensland; Review: The trip out to the Island with Matt was a great start. He had a great personality and had everyone laughing. The lady at check in was quite surly and did not belong in reception with her attitude. Determined to enjoy the 7 days we ignored that and headed to the room. We booked 2 adults and 2 kids in a deluxe 1 bedroom. When we arrived in the room sofas had not been made up and nor was there any linen to make them up let alone towels for them. No big deal ... grabbed the phone to ring reception - it didn't work. Rang using my mobile and told them the issues, including the phone and internet not working. The male in reception response "sorry about that. It's great you have your mobile though so just call us if u need anything else". No offer to change rooms or anything like that DESPITE that it was pre holidays and we had been told they were pretty empty due to the late cancellation of a yachting regatta. About 3 hours later housekeeping came to make up the sofas and left some towels. When we were getting dinner, the kids found used sugar satchet in the chair, a chocolate wrapper under the coffee table and used tissue behind the sofa. Rang reception on my mobile to let them know. Same male in reception kindly let me know where the bin was in case I had not found it under the sink!! Seriously. The galley kitchen is tiny bench in a hallway with no space for the toaster and kettle. We set them up in the lounge area. You have 2 small gas burners and a microwave plus a small sink. That's it. No grill and no oven. Not exactly what is described on the website or by the booking staff. Nevertheless we made do with it. Bike hire is very expensive so be prepared. Kids loved having them for the 5 days which set us back $350 for the 4 of us. Great way to ride around and see the island. The renovations and closures weren't advised when we booked either. No surf club, the resort pool with water slide you see on the web is in Couran Point which is closed, water sports very limited to just canoes (no catermerans or jet skis etc as shown in pictures on the website), general store is smaller and less than normal (according to cranky old lady working in there). When we booked they told us the room would be serviced because of how long we were staying. After 4 days i rang (from my mobile again) to enquire. Same male as before told me he would look into it. Nothing eventuated on day 4 so I rang again on day 5 just after breakfast. This time a girl answered. Housekeeping came late in the afternoon as servicing the rooms for new guests was a higher priority i was told. The staff in general were ordinary compared to what i have experienced at other; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Sofitel Auckland Viaduct Harbour; City: Auckland Central North Island; Review: Still here on night 2 of 3 as i write this review. So far nothing has been trouble and everything is at the high standard we expected. We are on the 6th floor in a suite. Beds delightful to sleep in. Room is spacious and not cramped at all. Love the little touches that go unnoticed or under appreciated by many traveler's. Things like the complimentary chocolate and bottled water each night, fresh towels and bedding every day, cleanliness and attention to detail by room service in how they leave the room. Totally worth the extra dollars for the sheer luxury offered. (Also see the review on Lava Dining); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Riviera B B; City: Nerang Gold Coast Queensland; Review: After struggling to find somewhere at the last minute this little place came onto my search screens. Yes i read the reviews and sensed that some negative ones were perhaps a little out of place and not completely genuine. We booked for 2 nights ... quick and simple (even though Caroline was in transit from a quick trip). The room was as described and fortunately for me i understood what the European style bath setup meant. No surprises ... suited our quick getaway. On arrival their son greeted us on the driveway. A respectful and earnest young man. Over the couple of days we spoke a few times and found him engaging and polite. The bed was a little firmer that we are used to, but, doesn't everyone have their own unique preference for bedding?? We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfasts we had with handmade condiments. We opted for dinner on Saturday night and so glad only went 2 courses after our day out. The portions were generous and food was very good (and i used to be a chef). My wife's favourite desserts have apple in them and she is still raving about the apple pie we were served. Save yourself a journey to a restuarant, dinners are thoroughly worthwhile in our opinion. Quiet and peaceful surroundings with nature all around. Birds adorn the verandah as we ate our meals. So unique to have them so close but far enough away to not share their messy eating habits ☺ The hosts were a pleasure to meet and conversation was easy and enjoyable. Pool was clean and grounds well maintained. A very pleasant weekend away.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Little free extras in the bar fridge a bonus ... tim tams, small water, small juice and can of soft drink. Bonus to get free wifi and some free foxtel. Good value and well located to town.

As i was packing car ran into the cook and asked where in town was good to grab bacon and egg roll as i forgot to order breakfast. She quickly offered to make them for me and disappeared only to return less than 10mins later with 2 rolls packed as a takeaway. Tasted great ... 2 eggs and plenty of bacon ... awesome. Great to have such genuine hospitality. Definitely recommend and next visit will be going back there for sure.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Charlesworth Bay Beach Resort; City: Coffs Harbour New South Wales; Review: Finding room was a challenge using GPS as directed in the email ... but parking was greatest issue. Stayed 2 nights and both times ended up in the external car park, once on the grass as there was no room in that carpark either. Room was nice enough - clean but dated. An upgrade would be appropriate - fresh paint, minor repairs to locks on glass door to verandah. Grounds were well maintained ... pretty location and made easy to relax. The golf course wirhin the resort was a nice touch ... good fun. Found Charlies Restuarant to be very overpriced. Worth taking a quick 10min drive to Coffs for all their restaurants. Charlie's is run by Novatel which is where the prices come into it. For what it is had an enjoyable stay ... it is not luxury by any means but for the price we found what you get acceptable.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Rydges Wellington; City: Wellington Greater Wellington North Island; Review: Checked in later than expected due to delays with flights because of TC Gita. Staff were friendly but reserved. First room the air con decided not to work and they sent someone to look at it promptly. When it failed to cooperate was moved to a different room quite quickly. Efficiency in dealing with the issue is to be commended. New room also clean and tidy ... preferred the other room as it had a little balcony which was neither here nor there but least could get outside. Staff were helpful in providing directions to places nearby and suggesting places to go for dinner. Overall very enjoyable and wouldn't think twice about coming back.

Title: Pacific Marina Apartments; City: Coffs Harbour New South Wales; Review: Stay here frequently and always good. Grounds and pool well maintained - first impression is important Rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. Location is fantastic as irs within walking distance of the jetty and marina. A block away from a street full of restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ocean Shores Motel; City: Ocean Shores Byron Shire New South Wales; Review: Older motel in an established area just north of Byron. Reasonably priced for what is offered. Room was clean and good size. Found the bed comfortable and really appreciated the extra pillows to sit up in bed and watch TV. Hospitality of the managers was great from the outset.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Meriton Suites Southport; City: Southport Gold Coast Queensland; Review: Last minute booking due to unexpected trip to Southport Late checkin and was greeted with friendly service. Apartment great for needs. Woke up to decent views (see pics attached) Next time will plan a longer stay and get to enjoy the facilities on offer; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Pieces of My Heart: A Life; Author: Robert J. Wagner; Review: Of all the recently-published autobiographies of movie stars to come across this reader's desk, this is by far the dullest. Robert Wagner (for some reason calling himself Robert "J" Wagner here - I know his friends call him "RJ", but so what?), star of TV's It Takes a Thief and Hart to Hart, never hit the heights professionally, nor plumbed the depths he's just been...there. True, he has been there for well over fifty years, and never gives a bad performance, but he never gives a stunningly good one, either. Even Hart to Hart, for which he is probably best known, was one of the blandest series ever. The one thing in favour of this book is that it doesn't skirt around the death of Natalie Wood, although this reader does not share the ghoulish fascination felt by many. Clumsily put together (the same legal battles with the same TV producers are mentioned three times, with the same punchline - I don't think it's supposed to be a running gag, and if it is, it fails) there's a sense of detachment about the whole thing. I'm sure Robert Wagner is a decent man, and I'm sure there is some depth to him personally, but none of this comes across here. Compare and contrast with Robert Vaughn's autobiography and you'll see a big difference in quality.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: American Prince: A Memoir; Author: Visit Amazon's Tony Curtis Page; Review: Just what was Tony Curtis' problem? He makes Sweet Smell of Success, Trapeze and Some Like it Hot then spends the next ten years or so in mediocre sex comedies. Then he makes The Boston Strangler, a stunning performance in an excellent film, then spends the next ten years making even worse sex comedies, and drifting into TV. Then, more or less, showbiz oblivion. There are no answers to be found here. He admits to money worries, woman trouble and substance abuse, but we never get a handle on why things went so badly career-wise. This is not a gripping read. There are some good stories but we've heard a lot of them before. There's a lot left out - neither McCoy nor Vegas, two TV series in which he starred get mentioned, nor does the novel he published in the seventies (maybe he never read it, let alone wrote it). Like the man's life, it seems, the book drifts. I'm happy that Tony is now securely married, living in Vegas and enjoying coming to the end of his life. I enjoyed coming to the end of his life story.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: A Fortunate Life; Author: Visit Amazon's Robert Vaughn Page; Review: Actors of a certain age seem to have rushed into print in the last year. Moore, Borgnine, Plummer, Wagner, Curtis...on and on the list goes. A Fortunate Life, by Robert Vaughn (with no "co-writer") is by far and away one of the most interesting and best-written of the bunch. Although the focus is on Vaughn's life as an actor (of course) there is much on his commitment to politics, and a brief sidetrack into philosophy, which, because of the way it's done, isn't tiresome in the least. Stories of the stars abound, of course -that's what sells, but there's much more besides. I'd always assumed that the author came from affluent, or at least comfortable stock. This isn't the case at all, he came from a more-or-less itinerant theatrical background. He rose through the ranks in Hollywood until becoming the hottest property in the world sometime around the mid-sixties. That his star has inevitably waned somewhat since then hasn't affected his love of work and dedication to his craft. A charming journey with a charming man. And there's an index - take note, Christopher Plummer!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: In Spite of Myself; Author: Visit Amazon's Christopher Plummer Page; Review: If you're a Christopher Plummer fan, then this is the book for you. Obviously. There's very little that Christopher Plummer did that isn't documented here (although it doesn't come up to date other than generally). With such a long and distinguished career it's hardly surprising that despite the length of it, this autobiography seems a little cramped and rushed. What surprised this reader, though is how much of what we English call a "luvvie" Plummer is. I'd expected a much more serious tone. Everyone has a nickname (I lost track of who were family friends and who were dogs at one point) and everyone with whom Plummer has ever acted (or so it seems) gets a name-check. One bemoans the lack of an index, but it would probably end up half as long as the book itself! All in all, an enjoyable read, certainly a cut above the usual theatrical memoir.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ernie: The Autobiography; Author: Visit Amazon's Ernest Borgnine Page; Review: Ernest Borgnine, popular character actor, is still with us, and in fine form if this autobiography is anything to go by. The author doesn't stint on his early life, and still seems surprised that his life took the path it did. What is unusual is that halfway through the narrative ends and we move into a sequence of anecdotes, film by film. This is actually very effective, and whoever made the decision to do this did well. After a while we feel we know enough about Ernie, and want to move onto the stories, which are there in abundance. Personally I could have done with a bit more about his brief marriage to Ethel Merman (surely there were a few decent bouts of vase-throwing?) but you can't have everything. Above average.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Reach for the Top: The Turbulent Life of Laurence Harvey (The Scarecrow Filmmakers Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Anne Sinai Page; Review: This over-long and tedious book is one of the worst theatrical biographies I have read recently. Over-weighed with tales of the almost-forgotten film star Laurence Harvey's boyhood and youth (with no real reason given to believe them any more than the tales Harvey himself told), when we finally get on to the years of stardom there is virtually no discussion of the work at all. Whilst one doesn't expect a blow-by-blow analysis, it's a bit much when every film is mentioned then dismissed in a page or two. Even The Manchurian Candidate and the West End stage production of Camelot are more or less brushed aside. One gets the feeling that the author hasn't actually seen any of the films, let alone the stage shows. And even if she has, she has no feeling for the world of stage and screen, making her an unlikely choice to write a book about the subject...unless, of course, she's Laurence Harvey's sister-in-law, although this is mentioned on the cover, not in the text. The book is a bizarre mixture of hagiography and hatchet job, and is riddled with solecisms, mistakes* and poor research (Margaret Leighton died of a "debilitating" disease, we're told. It's taken me two seconds to find out that it was MS - the author didn't bother). The timeline is shot to pieces and the emphasis is all wrong. After endless build-up the high points of the career are rushed through. There is no final chapter describing what Laurence Harvey means today (nothing, which justifies the near-contempt in which he was held by almost everyone) or touching on his daughter's notoriety. I'm fairly easy to please, and will lap up any old rubbish, but even for me this book is too poor to give even a most cursory recommendation to. *I'm not giving chapter and verse - I didn't go through the wretched book with a marker pen, but on many occasions I thought "That's wrong", and I was right.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Mitchell's Fish Market; City: Carmel, IN; Review: The first time I went to Mitchell's was when they first opened at Clay Terrace. I went with my family and loved the food soo much. The raw oysters were amazing and the fish was soo fresh and tasty. The service was also wonderful and attentive. Because of my great fist experience, I had to go back for my birthday dinner. This was very disappointing. The food was definitely not as great as the first time and the service was terrible. Our server probably came by our table twice and that was it. I could have gone somewhere else and paid the same for food and had better service. The saving grace on the rating was still the amazing raw oysters!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ruth's Chris Steak House; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I've never been a huge fan of red meat; however, Ruth's Chris' amazing filet is to die for! They bake the meat in the oven, and the plate remains super hot throughout your meal, which means after 15mins, your steak is still hot! It's soo wonderful!! The steak is cooked perfectly and seasoned perfectly. All they use is butter, pepper, and salt. Simple seasoning for amazing taste! The shrimp cocktail is also delicious, and dessert is yummy too. The service at this restaurant was wonderful! We were wearing black, so they switched the white napkins with black ones. They were also attentive and friendly. I loved the warm and home-like feel to the restaurant. I definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting or is living in Indy. I haven't been to the one downtown; however, the one at Keystone is definitely worth the trip!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bonefish Grill; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I'm not sure why this place is receiving such a bad rep; however, I really like it. I understand some of the complaints, but overall, the place is still really good. As everyone has said, the Bang Bang Shrimp is what they are known for and definitely is a must if you are trying this restaurant out. I love their Florida Cobb Salad; the citrus herb vinaggraite makes the salad so fresh, light, and summery. It's perfect. I also really like the fresh mangos and avocadoes in the salad. The service here was amazing. I took my mom there for an early mother's day dinner, and it was jammed pack, but the server made sure our iced teas were never empty. Everyone was super friendly and attentive, and the manager even came by a couple of times to make sure things were going well. We had an enjoyable meal.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I am so disappointed in this restaurant. I was excited about trying a new seafood restaurant and noticed that Costco also had great deals on gift certificates. So, I bought some and made a reservation to try it out. We ordered the calamari, and it was disgusting. The tentacles were sticking together, which formed a very large ball. The batter on the calamari was falling off and did not even stick on the squid at all. It made the whole dish look very unappetizing; therefore, we did not even bother finishing it. The main entree I ordered was the Red Snapper. It was disgusting that I could not even finish it. The taste of the fish was seasoned terribly. It was pretty unbearable. The best thing there was their panna cotta dessert, which was amazing! That is the only thing I can recommend at this place. The service was also nothing to rave for. Our server was busy with the party next to us and completely ignored us. He never came by once to ask us how our dinner was going. I will never return here again even with free gift certificates!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Kona Grill - Carmel; City: Carmel, IN; Review: I've been here a couple of times and both times the restaurant was pretty middle of the road. There was nothing really fantastic or amazing about this restaurant. I ordered the halibut once and the salmon the other time. Both times the food was mediocre. It wasn't bad by all means, but it didn't blow me away either especially with how much it was. I don't mind going back again for a group gathering or something, but it definitely wouldn't be a restaurant that I would crave or pick myself.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Melting Pot; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: This fondue thing is just not my cup of tea. I was really excited to try it since I've never had fondue before, but I realize that it's just not for me. The 2 rating is not indicative of anything the restaurant really did, but more of a personal preference. The service was actually pretty good. We ordered a big night out special with the lobster. I am just not good at cooking my own food hence why I go out to eat. The lobster was either always undercooked or overcooked. The same went with all the other food we put in the fondue. I just wasn't that great at doing it and at the end of the night, I just did not feel that it was worth the money spent on the meal. I could have spent $125 at a nice restaurant where the food was prepared perfectly. I will most likely not give it a try again unless it was for the dessert fondue, which is not that bad. Also, I do agree with the other reviewers, the portions are small, but one thing I have to say is that you will get full from the meal.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar - Indianapolis; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Flemings is great! I've been there twice and neither time have been disappointing. I really enjoy the calamari; it's really good especially with the banana peppers and red peppers that are sauteed with the dish. They are a great compliment to the calamari and really enhances the flavor. I've orderd the filet both times and both times it turned out great. The lobster is also perfectly cooked, and one lobster tail is really filling. The lava cake is amazing!!! The chocolate cake was perfect and coupled with the homemade chantilly cream it was perfect! The service was excellent the first time; our waitress would cut our lobster tail for us and would be very attentive. Tonight, our server was good, but not as great as the first time. Overall, I've always felt welcomed at the restaurant and have really enjoyed the experience. It's definitely highly recommended. The restaurant is also a wine bar, so there are many selections to choose from. I actually got the Mango Spice Martini, and it was awesome! The mango puree in the martini is soo yummy and tastes like fresh mangoes. it's awesome :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Firehouse Subs; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: This is a new restaurant by the Pyramids that opened probably a couple weeks ago. At the office yesterday, we all decided to go try it out. The place was packed out the door by 12pm, which is probably due to the place being new. Everyone loves a new restaurant by the Pyramids! It was hard to see the menu and wait in line to order for the food. We waited for almost 30+ minutes before the food arrived at our table. Based on observation, it appeared they were servicing all the to-go orders before any of the dining patrons first. The server was very friendly and apologetic for the wait and try to do everything he could to make us feel at ease. I ordered the Engineer Sub with a pickle on the side. There was no pickle on the side. There was supposed to be spicy mustard, but there was none on my sandwich either. The presentation of the food was also not the most appealing; my turkey and tomatoes were not under the bread, but tossed on the plate. Overall, there were kinks with our experience, and it's understandable due to it being a brand new restaurant. The restaurant was opened by firefighters, so it seemed really cool to be able to provide support; therefore, I will try it again. Hopefully, by then, the kinks will be ironed out, and there will be another great sub place to eat at for lunch. However, based on my current experience, I can only give it 3 stars, but hopefully, my updated review will provide more stars.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dave & Buster's; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: We decided to go to Dave & Busters to get dinner, a couple of drinks, and play some games. The food - We had a short wait before we were seated at the restaurant. The waitress came and took our order. My friend ordered a chicken parmesan, and I ordered a chicken quesadilla. Our food arrived, and mine was mediocre, and it could have been better. My friend had two pieces of chicken. The first one was overcooked and was hard to chew. The second one tasted okay till the center of the meat, which was RAW! We called over the waitress, and she did not apologize or anything and took our entrees away. She later dropped off the check and disappeared. The entire time we were wondering how come no one apologized or offerred us something else to eat. My friend was still hungry! The check came, and the chicken was comped, but still no apology. We paid and left the restaurant area. Needless to say, we will not be eating here again. The drinks - The drinks are overpriced and not much alcohol. The cocktails are loaded with ice and not worth the money. The games - The games were pretty fun hence the 1 star rating. It does get very expensive to play here though. The two of us spent around $60 for 2-3hrs of games.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Chick-fil-A; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: So...everyone knows about Chick-Fil-A and what they have to offer. However, I had the great opportunity to try their BRAND NEW SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH today!!! It is awesome! The chicken sandwich is made the same as the original also with the option of lettuce and tomato. They are also offering pepper jack cheese with the sandwich. I opted for the plain sandwich with pickles. The chicken was tender (as usual), and the spiciness was perfect. It was not too spicy where you had to reach for water, but not a little bit where you are wondering if you ordered the wrong sandwich. The spicy part of the sandwich is actually in their chicken breading instead of a sauce on the bun. I tasted hints of Tabasco and different kinds of spices. It was really good, and I can't wait for it to hit the regular menu next week (June 7th)!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sawasdee Thai Cuisine; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Oh Sawasdee...a rare find in Indy! This is definitely one of the better Thai restaurants I've been too. The staff is friendly and service is super quick. Lunch time is probably the best bang for the buck as the majority of their lunch specials are $7.95 versus $9.95 at dinner time. The portions are basically the same. I tend to order the chicken pad thai or the chicken fried rice. Both are pretty great. I've also had the Thai noodle soup, which by the way, is only offered at lunch. The spices used in the noodle soup is great and tends to be my pick in the winter when it's cold. Each entree comes with a choice of spiciness (i.e. mild, medium, hot, or thai hot). I tend to stick to medium, but my more adventurous colleagues opt for thai hot, which they say really clears up the sinuses. The level of hotness varies daily depending on who made it, so there are days when it's definitely hotter than others. Just be aware. All entrees come with two sides either soup, spring roll, or salad. I've tried all of them, and I still stick to the soup and spring roll. There is only one house soup, and it's the same one daily. It's pretty good; however, if you don't like it, then there really aren't anymore choices. Overall, I like eating here, and my coworkers and I tend to frequent here quite a bit. I would recommend it to anyone.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Oakleys Bistro; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I've been dying to go to Oakleys after reading all the wonderful reviews from Yelp. I finally got a chance to go tonight. The restaurant is in a shopping center like everyone says, but the decor is very cute. When you walk in, you are greeted by the hostess, whom quickly seats you. The menu is simple and changes depending on the season. The portions aren't huge, but enough to fill you up. We started out w/ the famous shrimp corndog, and it was amazing! We then ordered the calamari, which also came with lobster salad and corn potato salad. It was amazing and delicious!!! Our main entrees were Stanley's Meatloaf which came with a cauliflower puree and broccoli. My entree was the spring vegetables, which included a veggie lasagna, wild ramps & corn souffle, artichoke fritter, and mushroom wellington. We also ordred a side dish of asparagus with parmesan cheese. All the dishes were beautifully prepared and tasted wonderful. Everything was wonderful. The reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is because our server was not the best. The other servers were very attentive by refilling our water and clearing our tables. Our actual server was very soft-spoken and very hard to hear, and she did not seem happy to serve us at all. I would still go again; however, I'm going to make sure I request one of the other servers. This place is definitely one of the nicer restaurants I've been to in Indy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gigi's Cupcakes of Indianapolis; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Ok I've been dying for cupcakes and some of the local cupcake bakeries have been selling out before they even close! So, I went to Gigi's and purchased 4 different cupcakes to try them out. To start out with, I agree with some of the other reviewers. There is way tooo much frosting! It's soo sweet that it's hard to eat. Here are the individual reviews of the cupcakes I ate. 1. Birthday Surprise - White cake with pink buttercream and sprinkles. The cake was kind of boring and did not tast exceptional. For $3, I would never get it again. The pink buttercream was okay definitely not as sweet as another cupcake I had, but sweet enough. 2. Hot Fudge Sundae - Devil's food cake filled with ganache topped with buttercream dripped in fudge and topped with nuts and a cherry. It was beautiful and really looked like a hot fudge sundae! The frosting; however, was soo sweet that the majority of it went down my food disposal. I will never order this one again. 3. Peanut Butter Jelly - White cake with raspberry filling with peanut butter cream frosting and raspberry jelly. This is by far my favorite. The peanut butter frosting wasn't too sweet, and it was soo good paired with the raspberry jelly. I actually ate the whole cupcake it was soo good. If I return, I will definitely get this again! 4. Scarlett's Red Velvet - Red velvet cake with canilla filled cream cheese frosting. This one was okay. Not as sweet as the hot fudge sundae or the birthday surprise. I didn't really taste anything super special about it, but it's not bad. Overall, this place was not that great. I was pretty disapointed especially knowing I spent $13 on 4 cupcakes. There are definitely other local cupcake bakeries that are far more superior than Gigi's. The main thing Gigi has over them are their business hours and their location.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Which Wich; City: Carmel, IN; Review: I love me some Which Which!!! I've driven past Which Which soo many times going to Meijer. They are located in the outlot of Meijer off of Meridian by SunTan City and Panda Express. One evening I finally decided to give it a try. I'm soo addicted!!!! They have everything separated by bags depending on the type of main ingridient (i.e. turkey, italian, beef, etc). You fill out the bags with a red Sharpie (which by the way they also sell). You can pick the type of bread, any cheese, any toppings, any dressing, and anything else you can think of to put on your sub. Then you bring the bag to the cashier, and you can select chips and/or drinks/shakes. You just sit and wait, which does not take a long time. The subs are all toasted, and as Matthew said, the portions are perfect. It really is filling and the quality of the food is soo much better than Subway. Don't forget to pick up a frequent customer card to get a free sub after 10 subs! :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cancun Mexican Restaurant; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Grand Opening! So, everyone heard about the sad news of El Rodeo being burned down, and I was very sad because there were no other mexican restaurants around the area (besides Taco Bell). Just as I was mourning the loss, Cancun opens their doors! They are located in the same shopping plaza as Tulip Noir and Sawasdee Thai Restaurant by 86th Street and Ditch Road. This is my second visit, and it's consistantly good. The decor is quite pretty and makes you feel like you are in a nicer more upscale Mexican restaurant. It's even date appropriate! I ordered a chicken quesadilla the first time, and there were fresh veggies with nicely grilled chicken strips. Very delicious. Today I ordered a speedy gonzalez with soft chicken taco. The chicken was moist, tender, and juicy. The enchilada was also good paired with the mexican rice. The best part is still the chips and salsa. The salsa has a spicy kick to it and makes you grabbing more and more. They actually provide every individual with their own bowl of salsa, so YES YOU CAN DOUBLE DIP! :) Service is pretty good. Everyone was very friendly and accomodating. It's definitely a great new addition to the north side.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holy Cow Cupcakes!; City: Carmel, IN; Review: Yum yum yum yum...So, I finally had to write a review for Holy Cow Cupcakes. I've been craving cupcakes after watching Cupcake Wars, Cupcake Girls, Top Chef Just Desserts, etc etc...cupcakes are totally the new rave! I swung by Holy Cow on a Saturday around 4pm, and I found that they already closed! I was wondering what's going on..well, they already sold out two hours before they closed! I couldn't believe it. I was very disappointed, so I drove over to Nordstrom to pick up a Flying Cupcake. I was determined to try a Holy Cow. On Tuesday, I called around 5pm, and they were sold out AGAIN. This was unbelievable. By the way, they are closed on Sunday and Mondays. I wanted a cupcake, so I went to Gigi's in Keystone (not that great). I was very determined this time, so I got there at 11:30am on the following Saturday (they open at 11am by the way). When I walked in, the majority of the cupcakes have sold out already. I did end up getting half a dozen cupcakes, and they were worth all the effort. The maple bacon cupcake was soo awesome, and the chocolate chocolate was soo good because it was just outta the oven. The maple cupcake was also very good. I drove by again last Saturday and picked up another half dozen. The chocolate dipped strawberry was okay. The lemon was good. The chocolate chip ganache was very good even with all the buttercream it wasn't very sweet. I also got carrot cupcake...awesome and cookie dough cupcake also very very delicious. I'm soooo happy I found Holy Cow! I will definitely be coming back! :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: West Coast Taco Truck; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Yummy yum yum! I heard of West Coast Tacos from a coworker, and I was soo excited to find they were right across the street from where I work today! I drove over at 11:30am, and there wasn't a line (great!). Of course, being my first time, I was quite confused as to what they had. There is no menu, but a sign to purchase drinks for $1. The man said they have steak and pork for 3 for $5 and teriyaki chicken for 2 for $5. I got the chicken, and it was really good. Too bad 2 tacos really does not fill you up. I was disappointed that I didn't see the tofu taco or tempura fish taco available (they do have a menu on facebook). Oh well. I'll have to try them again another time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sullivan's Steakhouse; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I went here before Thanksgiving, and I was disappointed. I had reservations for 7:30pm, and I waited for almost over 30mins before I was seated (what's the point of making a reservation?). We ordered the chilled seafood sampler, and it's not worth $48! There was two claws, two shrimps, two oysters, and some lump crab meat. There was supposed to be four shrimps (according to the menu), but obviously we did not get that. I ordered the filet and lobster; the lobster was big and pretty good. The filet was average, but not bad. It comes with either a Caeser Salad or House Sald; I ordered the Caeser. I urge everyone not to order it. They use cheap lettuce in the salad and was horrible. Our side dishes were asparagus and potato au gratin. The asparagus was the biggest rip off; it was $8 for 8 pieces of asparagus. No taste and not that great. The potato au gratin was made with cubed potatoes instead of sliced ones, which I thought was weird. It was okay, but not as good as Ruth Chris. We ordered an order of the crab fried rice to go, and it was acually pretty good. It was probably one of the better things there. We ended dinner with a coconut cream pie and warm brownie w/ vanilla ice cream. Both were of average quality. The service was also mediocre; our server paid more attention to the couple behind us. I don't plan on returning here anytime soon. I may just order a carry out of the crab fried rice.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Cafe Patachou; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Okay, so I've never actually tried the Cafe Patachou outside of the airport, but I heard they are much better. Well, I finally arrived early enough to have a sit down breakfeast. I ordered the broken yolk sandwich with bacon since I LOVE any kind of egg yolk broken. You can choose the type of bread you would like your sandwich on, so I got it with english muffin. The sandwich comes with a side of fruit cup. The sandwich was amazing. The yolk was a perfect sunny side up egg that you can cut into and have the yolk run through your sandwich. YUM! The fruit was sweet and came with strawberries, apples, and grapes. It was a bit pricey for a one person breakfeast (around $15 after tip/tax); however, it was worth the money. There was soo much food that I wasn't even hungry at 2pm, and I ate the meal at 7:30am! I would definitely go back. One more thing, some people were complaining about the service. It wasn't that bad if you sat in the dining area. There were 6 tables including me, and I was able to be in and out within 30mins.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: 3 Days in Paris; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: So, I tried 3 days in paris at a local yelp event last month and thought it was pretty delish! So, I made my way over to city market to have them again....I got the today's special, Spring Chicken. The spring chicken included chicken, asparagus, mozarella, onions, goat cheese, mushrooms, and honey mustard. It was okay; I had it without the goat cheese and the onions, but the mozarella was a bit overpowering. Overall, it's pretty good, but I think I'm going to try either a sweet crepe or another one of the savory crepes. I still highly recommend the place because the service and people were pretty awesome!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Natural Born Juicers; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I was craving smoothies and was walking around City Market after my crepe feast at 3 Days in Paris. There it was...I spotted Natural Born Juicers from the 2nd floor eating area. I gallantly walked over and was staring at the menu for minutes. They had such a variety that I had no clue what to order. So...... I finally got the Protein Junkie with bananas, mixed berries, soy milk, soy protein, and a splash of cider. It's pretty darn tasty and a great Cap off to a nice a meal!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: West Coast Taco Truck; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Updated to my original review... I'm still a fan, but there is definitely a lot of hit or miss with them. I tend to have my cravings, so I've been tracking them down at least once a week! The chicken burrito really fills you up, so the $6, in my opinion is well-spent versus $10 on 4 chicken tacos. I've tried the teriyaki chicken and spicy sesame chicken, and they are both good. I tracked down West Coast Tacos after the Yelp Hot Ball last week, and they were definitely having an "on day." I ordered 2 chicken tacos (1 spicy sesame and 1 teriyaki). Both were awesome; marinated just right. I feel like getting some right now as I type this updated review! I tried the steak once, and I was not impressed. The meat was bland and the steak was very tough. I heard the pork is pretty amazing, but I have yet to try it. I'm still waiting for these tempura fish tacos that were supposed to appear around March!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Scratchtruck; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Delish!! A great food truck!! My coworkers and I wanted to find a food truck in the neighborhood, scratch truck was nearby. I checked out their menu and really was torn between the cone chicken or the tuscan chicken. I finally caved and got the tuscan chicken sandiwich since they only have 12. It came with fries. The truck was awesome; it has a fridge area for drinks and dessert. There was also an ice cooler for more drinks and a bottle opener by the tire. They also had utensils, napkins, and ketchup available. Also, big bonus.........THEY ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS!!!!! The chicken sandwich had good flavor and was tasty, but the bread was very dry and not very soft. The fries were also pretty greasy. Overall, it wasn't bad and tasted well, but I think I will try the chicken cone next time. I will still recommend scratch truck to people.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Taiwan Tea House; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: One of the few places I can actually eat Chinese at that's not a buffet! I'm Taiwanese, and this place is not bad for Chinese food; however, I don't necessarily consider it authentic Taiwanese food. I love the turnip cake cos it's one of the only places in Indy to get it. The spicy wontons are pretty good. I always order the Kung Pao Chicken with less oil cos their food can be pretty greasy. I've ordered their Ice Red Tea with Boboa; the drink itself tastes pretty good, but I'm really turned off by the powdered cream they use instead of real cream. Real Boboa tea uses a sweet sugar syrup plus real cream, and it tastes soo much better. In addition, the tea shouldn't be white because of the powdered cream, but a tea color. The service is average, and not as bad as people have commented. The food is super cheap and is worth the price. As others mention, it comes with rice, two crab rangoons, and the soup du jour. I try to make a trip there at least once every couple of weeks; I definitely recommend this place for lunch/dinner!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Vanilla Bean Bakery; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Delicious Cupcakes!!!!! I'm soo happy that there is a cupcake place near by. I ordered 6 cupcakes (buy 5 get 1 free). I had 2 vanilla raspberry, strawberry, chocolate covered strawberry, cookies n cream, and boston cream. I've only tried three of the five mentioned, and so far they've been pretty amazing! The chocolate covered strawberry has half a strawberry on top that is actually covered in chocolate. The chocolate icing is sweet, but not overpowering. There was even a surprise in the middle of the cake....STRAWBERRY CREAM!!!! The cake was a little dry, but still tasted pretty good. The vanilla raspberry is soooo amazing. The cupcake is topped with a fresh raspberry topped with raspberry icing. The filling is of raspberry jelly; it's soo good and not too sweet. I had a bite of the cookies n cream, and it was pretty sweet. I wasn't that big of a fan of that one, but the other two I had definitely made up for what that lacked. I highly recommend this bakery to anyone. The service was good and friendly.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: St. Elmo Steak House; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Oh St. Elmo's Steak House...you were the very first restaurant everyone raved about when I first moved to Indianapolis. You were also the very first restaurant I wanted to go to before I ever moved outta the state. Finally in 2012 (I know this review is totally dated) around August I went! I remember clearly going on a Sunday early evening to try their Sunday dinner special. The decor was very old world and all the waiters were dressed with bow ties and looked very professional. The dinner special is a great deal costing only $35/person, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. Since I am allergic to shrimp, I ordered the house salad instead. The waiter brought out what they called a house salad - a couple pieces of iceberg lettuce, carrot, and croutons. It was so sad looking that I knew this experience was head down hill. I know they are known for their shrimp cocktail sauce, but come on now don't have this sad little plate represent your restaurant if you can't even make a salad! For the entree, I ordered the filet (how can you go wrong with a filet?)! Once I received the filet, it looked like a little piece of burnt tar on my plate. I picked at it and pretty much left 60% of the meat on my plate because it was so bad. For dessert, I ordered the cheesecake. I don't remember much from it, so I guess it means it wasn't very memorable. After spending close to $50/person here, I'm never coming back and have concluded this place as a tourist trap. Very disappointing and definitely not worth the money or drive downtown. I will definitely post pictures of my sad little meal soon.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Yogokiss; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: My favorite frozen yogurt place...oh how I will miss thee!! I used to frequent yogokiss on a weekly basis. The best frozen yogurt is taro root. The taro flavor shines through and the sweetness is perfect. It was soo good that I would take friends that were visiting me here, so they can try it. I always get it with strawberries, kiwi's, and mangoes. Delicious! I've since moved to Chicago, and I haven't found a place like yogokiss. I will definitely have to go back when I am visiting! FYI - you can have thai for dinner next door and come here for dessert -- yum!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Addie's Thai House; City: Chesterfield, MO; Review: I went to Addie's Thai House due to convenience since I was tired of eating at Kim Cheese everyday. I went on Yelp and saw the wonderful ratings as well as the yummy pictures. I ordered a Green Curry with Chicken (level 2 hotness) and a Chicken Satay. After ordering the food, I realized how expensive the food was here! For both of those items, it cost me $28! I was super surprised. I went back to my hotel room and started eating my curry. Holy Cow was it spicy!! I should have gotten a level 1.5 lol. The qualify of ingredients was good. The curry was big enough for me to eat for lunch the next day. The peanut sauce and cucumber salad with the chicken satay was amazing. Overall, I like the restaurant, and I don't mind coming back. I just have to be more mindful on the hotness level and my wallet. I ordered the chicken pad Thai and Thai Dumplings tonight. The Thai Dumplings are awesome!!! The pad Thai is very good with a 2 hotness, which was less spicy compared to the green curry. This place is a great Thai restaurant.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wonton King; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: Yay! I'm a fan! My coworker recommended this place and boy was she right! We ordered a salty fish chicken fried rice, black pepper beef, hong kong style seafood pan-fried noodles, and sautéed pea tips. There was enough food leftover for both of us to pack our lunch the next day. The total bill was around $30/person, but it was for two meals (dinner and lunch). The food was soo good and had that stir-fried taste that's been missing in my life for awhile. The flavor on the dishes were not too salty; the quality of ingredients was also good. Overall, this has got to be one of the best Chinese restaurants in the St. Louis area. The ambience is not trendy or romantic, but the food itself mitigates all that. The next time I am in town, I am hitting up the Wonton King for sure despite the fact, I don't recall seeing any wontons there. Lol; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kimcheese; City: Chesterfield, MO; Review: I've been here soo many times, and I still can't get enough. I typically order the spicy pork tacos or spicy pork kimchi fried rice with potato salad and kimchi. Both dishes are really good and filling. The pork is marinated rather nicely. They have a frequent customer program that you can join to help you get some free food!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Blues Fired Pizza; City: St. Louis, MO; Review: The food truck was by the place I work, so I figured why not?! I tried their veggie pizza. The size of the pizza was nice (8"). They load it up with ingredients; however, the overall pizza was a little bit bland. Veggie pizzas typically don't have as much flavor as meat pizzas, so I wasn't overly disappointed. The speed was super fast; I think I only waited 3-4mins! Would I get it again? Yes, but I might have to try pepperoni instead or one of their special pizzas :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wayno's - Mobile International Cuisine; City: Overland, MO; Review: Another food truck day, so this time we got Wayno's. This was definitely an eclectic menu that had various items from all over. I ordered the quesadilla with chicken (an extra $1) with a side of tortilla chips and queso (an extra $1). My total meal was $12. The quesadilla tasted nice with the pineapple salsa and sour cream. It was a good size portion. The tortilla chips were homemade, but was overly crispy. I think they over-fried it. The queso sauce was average, and there was nothing special. There was plenty of food that I could have just gotten the main entrée without any sides. The drawbacks was the wait time was forever. I think I waited for over 10mins just for those two items. There were two people working in the truck. The other drawback is the little container they put your food in. It made it very difficult to carry both items and try to open the doors back to your office building. Besides that, the food was okay, and I wouldn't mind getting it again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chef Ma's Chinese Gourmet Restaurant; City: St. Louis, MO; Review: This is the epitome of don't judge a book by it's cover. The restaurant is from an old Taco Bell; you can totally tell from the building structure. They didn't do much of a change to the inside, but the restaurant is nice and clean. We came here because we heard that Chef Ma was once an iron chef, so we had to try it out. We ordered some of their famous dishes: Twice Cooked Pork - The leeks are my all-time favorite since I don't eat pork belly. My husband loved the pork belly. The dish had so much flavor. Chewy Rice Cake Shanghai Style - The rice cake was soft, but not overcooked. The napa cabbage was yummy. The entire dish was very authentic. Fish Fillet Assorted Veggie Stew - The portion on this stew was huge, and the most amazing stew. It was filled with soo many veggies and fish. The soup base was bomb. Golden Yolk Pumpkin Shrimp - This dish sounded a bit weird, but oh my if you love salted egg this is the dish for you. The salted egg breading was soo delicious and complemented the shrimp nicely. Basil Onion Stir-Fried Clams - The clams were fresh tasting and sweet. The entire dish was good and went well with the rice. This is definitely not a restaurant you want to go for the ambiance; however, if you are looking for good food, you have to come.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Corner 17; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: I love Corner 17!! The fresh-made dumplings and noodles keeps me coming back. They have two types of pot stickers. One is frozen and the other one is homemade. You have to try to homemade ones despite being slightly more expensive. There is a huge difference, and it's soo delicious. The stir fried noodles with chicken is also tasty. The noodles are good very well. After you finish your dinner, you have to try their fluff. The taro fluff is my all-time favorite. My husband loves the mango fluff. Regardless, a small is not enough! You gotta get a medium or large!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

It is loud enough to put by the pool when he's doing laps and they can hear the music all around the pool.

Title: AV to HDMI; Brand: Tensun; Review: My setup is that I have an older smart tv with an optical audio output port, NO 3.5 mm audio output, NO bluetooth and I have a sound bar that can take an optical audio input but does not have bluetooth output. What I wanted to do is have the sound from the the cable box go to the TV, the sound bar, and to some wireless headphones because I am needing more volume than my husband. This device does exactly what I needed - I connected the HDMI cable coming from my cable box to the input HDMI jack on the Tensun box. I connected an HDMI cable (bought separately) from the Tensun HDMI output jack to my TV HDMI input jack. Then I connected my (bought separately) digital optical audio cable from the Tensun output jack to my soundbar and I connected a bluetooth transmitter with 3.5mm audio jack (bought separately) to the Tensun box and paired it with my headphones. There is a delay with the headphones but with a good pair of noise cancelling headphones I don't think I'll hear an echo and I will live with that. Very easy to figure out what goes where as the output and input jacks are very clearly marked. I received this product at discount for my honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Hagerty 15507 7-Ounce Silver Cleaner, White; Brand: W. J. Hagerty; Review: I wear mostly sterling silver jewelry, and I have tried a lot of silver cleaners: liquids, sonics, cloths, creams, and chemical plates/water baths. Most are so-so. They can handle light silver tarnish and dirty stones but not heavy tarnish, especially on chains. This one cleans it all. Oh yeah, it rocks. It only takes a minute or so in the solution, a light scrub with a very soft toothbrush on chains or intricate work, and a thorough rinse in running water. My jeweler sells this product, but it is cheaper on Amazon. A word of warning - if your piece is intentionally oxidized, this will start working on that oxidation too. Seriously, this is a strong cleaner. So if you want to keep that oxidation, watch your jewelry close. Once the applied oxidation is gone, your piece will not be shiny. Also, if you forget and leave your jewelry in for a long time, it may actually remove any protective coating that was applied over the silver, like a rhodium finish or clear coat. I'm telling you, this is serious stuff. Don't leave your silver overnight! It works though when nothing else does. I am so glad Amazon has this product.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Levi's Little Girls' 1607 Love Lurex Slim-Straight Jean; Brand: ; Review: It is nearly impossible to get jeans to fit my little three-year-old granddaughter. However, the slim fit Levi's are a perfect fit for her! I was worried because they sure looked small when I got them in, but they actually were a perfect fit.

She loves them and so does her mother.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sesame Street Abby Cadabby "Fairy in Training" 2pc Set - Shirt and "Tutu" Shorts; Brand: ; Review: I am very disappointed in the quality of this garment. I purchased quite a bit of clothing for my grandchildren on Amazon, and this is the first and only piece that has ever disappointed me. The little shorts have what are supposed to be some type of pedal or flower coming around like a little skirt, but the pieces are so flimsy and so far apart that there is very little covering at all. The so-called cute fairy wings on the back of the top are very tiny and barely visible. The fabric itself of the outfit is kind of dull and coarse to the touch. I would expect something softer perhaps with more sheen to it than this if you're trying to construct a fairy to be costume. The embroidery on the top is nice however, and my darling little granddaughter couldn't care less about all the faults that I found in these clothes. She is more than happy to wear it. I just think it looks so silly as is.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Nannette Little Girls' Colorful Floral Print Dress With Tulle; Brand: ; Review: This is a gorgeous dress. Very expensive looking. It is vibrant and full just like the picture. I had to deduct a star for one reason: the attached underslip is trimmed with a strip of coarse red netting around the bottom hem without any fabric between the child 's legs and the strip. It definitely adds to the beauty and bounce of the garment and is fine when standing or walking but can be irritating when sitting for any length of time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Young Hearts Little Girls' 3 Piece Assorted Knit Pullover And Divided Skirt Set; Brand: ; Review: This outfit is heavy duty, not a lightweight cotton or blend.

Title: Lanyjewelry 5mm Princess Cut CZ Tarnish Free Stainless Steel Wedding 2 Rings Set; Brand: Lanyjewelry; Review: I purchased a lot of costume jewelry over time as well as the real deal. I've paid a lot for certain designer pieces and bargain-basement prices for the cheap stuff you get at the gift shop or card store. Honestly, I was very surprised when this jewelry arrived. On the surface, it appears to be the equivalent of some of my more expensive designer jewelry and high-end CZ's. But the price was rock bottom! The fit is perfect. I've worn it for a few months now, and the shine of the metal is still there. None of the stones have fallen out, but then again I do not abuse this jewelry. What I really appreciate the most about this ring are the stones. Many CZ's are just too brilliant. The rainbow they cast is too perfect. These stones, however, look real. They are what I would expect to see on most women's hands on an everyday basis. Seriously, even if we can afford the more expensive, real diamonds, few of us are going to wear them every day. It's just too dangerous out there to be wearing fine, expensive jewelry on the streets. These rings are the perfect substitute. I am thrilled, and I recommend them to anyone. Just give them a try.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Infant: Star Trek- Command Uniform Infant Onesie Size 12 Mos; Brand: Trevco; Review: Well constructed and just as cute as can be.

The size is large and accurate unlike some 12 months sizes sold on Amazon currently.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Woman Within Plus Size Fineline Denim Short; Brand: ; Review: Unlike other Woman Within clothing, these shorts are true to actual measurements. They don't use the vanity sizing that makes you buy a size smaller than usual to get the right. USE THE SIZING CHART AND MEASURE CORRECTLY for these shorts. There is no give or stretch to these. The twill fabric is cool but not thin. I feel well covered in these. I'm 5'7" and the length hits me at the top of the knee. The fit is comfortable - not tight or loose. I have a menopause belly and these still fit well. My knees are chubby so if anything they are tighter there but I still have free space. The black is a true, smooth black.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Woman Within Plus Size Sport Knit Short; Brand: ; Review: These shorts are very comfortable except at the waist area. The waistband is thick due to the cord running through it all the way around. It is a truly adjustable tying cord so it adds bulk. There are also side-slit pockets on both sides made from the same material as the shorts, so that adds bulk to the upper hips. I don't need any extra bulk around my waist thank you very much! It also adds weight which drags the waistband down. The body of the shorts is fine. The material is stretchy and light enough, not heavy like fleece, but it gives full coverage. I am 5'7" and they fall right to the top of my knees. They use vanity sizing which is larger than typical store sizes, so order one size smaller. Because of the adjustable waistband, I won't be buying anymore. But that's just me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wig Cap (White, Brown); Brand: Forum Novelties; Review: Lightweight but thicker than panty hose. Comfortable. It rides up a little in the back but bobby pins should hold it.

Title: Inntel Hotels Amsterdam Centre; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: Stayed here for my 21st, not one complaint, big room, big bed, big bathroom, perfect location, good service, would definitely come back. Only small issue was we got put in a room nearest the bells which kept ringing throughout the night.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NH Madrid Paseo de la Habana; City: Madrid; Review: Bit of a late review, stayed here on my own last October for my 21st birthday and to watch the El Clasico. Santiago Bernabeu is about a 5 minute walk, if that, which was perfect. It was also had taxis outside which got me to the airport in about 10 minutes. The hotel itself was decent, everything I needed since I was stopping on my own, clean room which was cleaned and tidied everyday. The room was relatively small but that didn't bother me as I spent hardly any time in it, however there is still enough room for one person with a good sized bathroom, wardrobe and desk if you need it. There is only one problem I have with Madrid, no where seemed to sell cider! I hate lager so it was a sober weekend for me, but other than that can't complain about anything, perfect and the El Clasico is a must.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Carnival Palace Hotel; City: Venice Veneto; Review: Stopped here for 3 nights with my girlfriend, on the way to the hotel through Venice I was worried as the other hotels looked awful. However this one is perfect in every way and by far the best hotel I have visited. It is at the top left of the island, away from all the noise which is perfect for me but still within walking distance of St Marks square, it's nice to walk through the Venice back streets however the water bus station is right outside the hotel for when you're feeling lazy. As for the hotel itself, as soon as you walk through the door you know it's quite special, everything is well presented and clean, our room was amazing. Big room, big bed, big bathroom with shower and bath, and it's a really nice black and gold style, sparkling white bathroom with mood lighting. You'll feel like you're the first person to use the room. All the staff were really nice and helpful, the room service was great and we ordered margarita pizza to the room every night it was that good. Breakfast was lovely, huge selection and the best croissants and hot chocolate ive had with waitresses roaming about constantly to serve your needs. Will definitely recommend to others, and I can't wait to come back, thank you!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Wakefield M1 Jct 40; City: Ossett Wakefield West Yorkshire England; Review: Not bad for one night stay, got there late and left early due to business so all I needed was a bed and a shower. It's better than any of the travelodges I have stayed at close by. However tried getting on the wifi, and I got quoted £4.00 for 1 hour and £13.00 for 24 hours, wow.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Campanile Wakefield; City: Wakefield West Yorkshire England; Review: Stopped in a few hotels in the area for business, and I'd say this is the worst I've been to. I understand people saying "It's just a cheap one night stopover, you get what you pay for", however there's a LOT better for the same price have a look around. It's just small and dirty, twin beds almost touching, couldn't walk on the carpet it looked that dirty, bathroom/shower was grim I felt dirtier after coming out of it. Reminds me of the American motels you see in films, read the reviews and look elsewhere.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Zafiro Palace Palmanova; City: Palmanova Calvia Majorca Balearic Islands; Review: Firstly the room, we stayed in the Zafiro Penthouse suite. I’m extremely glad we did, the room was amazing. Our roof terrace faced the sea and received sun all day, the hot tub was brilliant and warm, and the separate living room/bedroom is a must with a baby. When she napped we put her in the cot in the bedroom and could shut the sliding doors so she could sleep in peace whilst we could do what we wanted in the living room/terrace. The kitchenette was ideal for our baby to store and make everything she needed, it included a fridge, kettle, hob and microwave. The living room, kitchen, bathroom is open plan but there was a separate frosted door for the toilet and another one for the shower area so there was plenty of privacy unlike the other rooms it seems. It was cleaned spotless everyday, with a new supply of bathrobes and slippers each day as well. We were also left a hotel newsletter each day stating what’s on and what time the day after including restaurants and entertainment. Next on to the staff, the waitresses in the restaurant were amazing with our baby and so friendly. Only once did we have to wait longer than 5 minutes for our drinks, but the rest of the time they were very quick. They’re also extremely quick at removing finished plates and keep the restaurant looking good. The buffet itself was great for us, I haven’t got many hotels to compare it to but for me there was a huge selection of foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner with different mains/meats every night at dinner. We especially loved the deserts. The only gripe I have is I couldn’t get a table for the a la carte restaurants, I was half board and would have happily paid, but even when I rang very early the day before to book I got told it was full. The hotel didn’t seem that busy so I was quite surprised. The hotel grounds from our terrace looked amazing, the oasis pool seemed very busy but not surprisingly the main pools and swim up pools were empty as I bet they would have been freezing. We took our baby to the indoor spa pool at least once everyday and 75% of the time we were alone and even when we weren’t it never got to busy. The indoor spa pool was lovely and warm, perfect for our baby. It also had a steam room and sauna there which we took it in turns going in. We were slightly nervous about travelling with a 11 month old, but there were loads of other families at the hotel and they catered for us extremely well. The hotel is only a 10 minute or less walk from the beach as well, and it is a very nice beach. We knew it was out of season, but we had a great, relaxing holiday with amazing weather and our baby loved it as well. I’d love to come back in the high season,; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: David s Flat; City: Rome Lazio; Review: We found David's Flat through an online service (I believe it was RyanAirs Website) back in 2010. Upon arriving at the "hotel" - we were not impressed with the service or the room (honestly, it was disgusting). We traveling through Italy, France, Spain, and UK and this was by far the worst place we stayed. I imagine the beds/rooms in prison are cleaner and nicer than this place. However, on a funny note - whenever we stay at a bad hotel we always say "Its not as bad as David's Flat"... If you are reading this...... find some place else. Another hotel, a hostile, a B&B, a park bench - anything.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Floridiana Hotel; City: Amalfi Amalfi Coast Province of Salerno Campania; Review: I was already excited when we arrived in Amalfi - but I was thrilled when we checked into Floridiana Hotel. When you get off the bus coming from Salerno to Amalfi you'll walk through the main piazza about 120 feet and all the sudden your hotel is tucked away down an Ally on the right. The location and proximity to all the restaurants and the coast was amazing and the staff was even better. They were very accommodating and friendly and made our stay at the hotel easy. Our room was large and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast buffet they had was great - plenty of delicious food and it was one of the best spreads we had on our entire trip. The location of this place is the best part, its just so close to the heart of Amalfi - you walk down the steps and all of the sudden you are in the main piazza. Without thinking twice, this is the hotel we would stay at when we return to the Amalfi Coast. One thing we were a bit disappointed with was the hot tub on the terrace. There is a hot tub - which seems great - but for some reason it doesn't get hot.... Not a huge issue, but it would have been nice to go up in the evening with a bottle of wine and sit in a "HOT" tub.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel De Monti; City: Rome Lazio; Review: We stayed at Hotel De Monti towards the end of September. We arrived at Fiumicino Airport and took the train to Termini Station. We knew that it was a short walk from the train station and made our way towards the hotel. It was not the easiest place to find. Practically no signage and when we did find the correct building my wife looked at me like she was going to kill me. From the outside this place looks very questionable. We were met by one of the staff members who assisted us in carrying our luggage up the several flights of stairs to the hotels floor. This hotel shares the building with a few other hotel/hostels. Once you get onto their floor, it is very nicely done and very clean. Our room was a pretty good size and the space was nice. If I was coming back to Rome, I would certainly consider staying at Hotel De Monti again - the staff was very helpful and friendly and the rooms were nice and clean. My only complaint would be the location is not easy to find - there is no lift - (not a problem for me, but might be for others) - and the included breakfast was kind of weak.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ariel House; City: Dublin County Dublin; Review: We were looking forward to staying at Ariel House since we saw the other positive reviews and we were not disappointed.

The staff was very friendly and helpful and made trying to figure out where to go and how to get there a breeze.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: LetoMotel Muenchen Moosach; City: Munich Upper Bavaria Bavaria; Review: We just got back from visiting Munich and Oktoberfest this month. LetoMotel has some good and some bad and I likely wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Here are some bullet points about the hotel from our stay: - Very close to Moosach station. literally walk outside and around the corner and you are there. That sounds great until 5am when a train comes rolling by and your room faces the tracks. - Bathroom/Shower are seperate but share 1 door. You can only close 1 at a time - maybe not a big deal, but it annoyed my wife and I. - Next door is a great little bakery, I grabbed breakfast from there every morning - Bed was not very comfortable. Our comforter had a cigarette burn that I did not discover until the last day (grossed out by it). - Very friendly reception. Very helpful when we asked about anything. - No decent restaurants close by. I wouldn't recommend eating near the hotel except from the bakery as noted above. Conclusion: Are you a college kid looking for a place to crash for Oktoberfest? No problemo. For my wife and I? Next time I will pay the difference to stay at a better place.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Pod Vezi; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: My wife and I stayed at Hotel Pod Vezi this past October. Obviously we chose it based on the glowing reviews on TripAdvisor. We had a small issue when we first arrived. I had requested 6+ months earlier that we be in the main building and agreed to the price difference (via email). When I arrived they informed us they had made a mistake in the booking and only had room in the other building. I was upset initially but they apologized by offering us a 3 course meal at their restaurant and a bottle of wine on the house. Additionally when they took us to the other building, the room was fantastic. High ceilings on the 2nd floor and huge bathroom. Every night the hotel staff left us a gift (Cookies, Chocolates, Fruits, Champagne). The staff was always so helpful as far as advice and getting around town. They would call cabs as needed and made sure to tell us how to avoid getting ripped off. The Buffet in the mornings was terrific and on the last day they even gave us a free lunch at their Creperie which was so rich and fantastic. One of the best hotels I have stayed at in Europe, I was raving to all my friends and family about Prague and specifically this hotel. Its the best possible location next to the Charles Bridge and in between the old town and Prague Castle. If you go to Prague, make sure you stay here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

We met mr Jacob John this year who went out of his way to mix with guests and make sure they were satisfied with the hotel, the reception staff were so nice. Also there were some check in troubles on arrival but after a small inconvenience we were well compensated with upgraded rooms , late checkouts and meal vouchers , hope to make it five in a row next Febuary , Whispering palms your the best, Mr and mrs black; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Premier Inn Newcastle Team Valley; City: Gateshead Tyne and Wear England; Review: First time we've used this hotel and we arrived early before check in time as we had appointments to keep , the hotel had a power cut but the great girl on reception went out of her way to show us to a room that we could use to change our clothes , one that would have lots of natural light, after changing we went to our function and ending up checking in at 9.00pm, we had a good clean room with comfy bed and great shower , had a good nights sleep but fell ill ( nothing to do with the hotel ) so we missed our second day/ night at this hotel as we travelled back home.

Title: Heston Hyde Hotel; City: Hounslow Greater London England; Review: Stayed here after been at Wembley for the challenge cup final, Looked like a nice hotel and had a fairly quick check in , on arrival in the room we noticed that the window had no nets just curtains which wasn't a massive problem but due to our room facing about 20 other rooms if you wanted privacy you had to draw the curtains even in daylight then put the light on . Rooms were nice as was the bathroom , we had a good nights sleep and found that the shower was just about sufficient power wise. We went down to breakfast at 7.50 am only to find there was no were to sit, there were empty tables but these had dirty table cloths on them , there was one member of staff who didn't want to help with the seating problem so we cleared the table our selves, we went to the start of the food tray line only to find there was no plates, no mushrooms, cold beans , no bacon , no eggs, no sausages and a large line waiting at the toaster, the orange juice was disgusting but we did manage to get two hash browns each, there was six of us sat at the table that had no cloth after 10 mins more food came out so we went back in line only to find the beans and mushrooms were stone cold, the scrambled egg barely warm . I ended up having a poor mish mash of food as did the other members of our party and to be honest most of it was left on the plates due to been cold., Without doubt this is the worst breakfast we've ever had at any hotel anywhere in the world. Shame on you at the Heston .; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hallmark Hotel Chester The Queen; City: Chester Cheshire England; Review: Arrived Tuesday 2/08/16 and was pleasantly surprised at how nice most of the hotel was , so much better than the best western across the road , the room was done nicely with fairly comfy bed, there was plenty of drinks available in the room ie tea , coffee , chocolate etc, the bathroom looked sufficient although much in need of a refurb on close inspection. Had an evening meal in the grill/ bar which consisted of soup of the day followed by the hallmark burger, both were ok but no wow factor that would make you want to eat there again. Breakfast was good and checking and out was quick and efficient, all the staff were friendly .; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Heston Hyde Hotel; City: Hounslow Greater London England; Review: Returned to this hotel for the 2nd time in august as part of our weekend away for the Rugby league challenge cup. In my first review I criticised the breakfast , the hotel was good The breakfast awful. I did receive a reply from the hotel and maybe thought I had been a bit harsh so this was the perfect opportunity to check it out again . Let me start with the hotel, really well organised check in even though we arrived as a coach load , lovely clean hotel and very helpful efficient staff who were excellent at there job, super fast lifts so no waiting for ten minutes to get to your room. This time round our room was at the back of hotel so we had a superb view of all the planes landing at Heathrow airport no noise just a great view, our room was spotless and clean and had everything needed for a short stay including a little fridge . These really were nice rooms and very comfortable beds and free wifi . After a great nights sleep and a nice shower it was time for breakfast , alas nothing had changed from our last visit, you have to sit on huge round tables with people you don't know , again cold food even from the trays that kept running out as you got near them , a good selection yes , hot no , even though this was a busy weekend it needs to be sorted better than it is. That's enough of the negativity as I would stay here as much as possible, it is a great hotel , fantastic rooms well organised , and great staff and don't be put off by the breakfast issues and if your in any doubt book this hotel it's well worth it , all in all brilliant hotel and wouldn't hesitate to make my way here for a stay , Just wish the breakfast could be sorted out , ( ps everyone at breakfast was complaining so it can't be just me who thinks it needs to be better ); Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Recovery SA Powder 350 g; Brand: Recovery; Review: Heard about this product and thought I'd give it a try for my three active dogs, two of which are 9. Not an easy choice as I have a cabinet full of similar options. The dogs do very well on this product and I have been pleasantly surprised. One, however, does not like the taste and I have to go through great pains to mask it with salmon oil or peanut butter. Overall I'd say it has helped the two of them deal with the aches and pains of getting older as moderate lameness in their rear leg. I use a cheap measuring spoon from the dollar store to dispense the powder but it would be nice if it came with one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: IRIS Premium Airtight Pet Food Storage Container, 55-Pounds, Almond,IRIS USA,300682" />; Brand: IRIS USA, Inc.; Review: This was purchased to replace two bins we had for years. We use them for dog food storage. Would have preferred they be the same size in height so they fit in my pantry the same way. They weren't and it caused me to reorganize the space and get rid of a recycle bin as there was no room for all three. Not a huge deal but noting it in case you have limited space as I do and assume every bin that is 55-quart (holds 40 pounds or more of dog food) is the same width. As a side note, the first order had to be returned as the bin was severely damaged during shipping and rendered unusable.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: ADAPTIL Calm On-The-Go Collar for Dogs; Brand: Adaptil; Review: This collar has really made a difference for my dog. We first used it when we were doing away on vacation and the pet sitter said everything went. We continued using it due to thunder storm season and I was amazed that instead of hyperventilating, shaking and drooling for hours, he tolerated the storm without all of that. It is a pain that it is not waterproof and a few times I have forgotten to take it off prior to swimming him. The marketing rep says the collar will work once it and the dog dries but may not last a full month. I know every dog is different so this may not work for all and it certainly isn't going to replace training issues (I've read some reviews where people claim their dog still jumped up on people) but in our case it seems to have taken away or minimized the stress he was feeling. Not sure if it will be as effective for fireworks. My only suggestion would be to fit the collar on the dog's neck and use some duck tape around the part that feeds through the buckle so the collar doesn't come off (happened to me but the company offered to replace it).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Merrick Grain Free Dry Dog Food Real Chicken & Sweet Potato; Brand: Merrick; Review: So far the dogs like it and are doing well on it. Switched then over from Fromm's Four Star or is it Five Star?). Ingredient profile looked good and we wanted something grain free but with relatively average protein levels. Two of my three are senior dogs and don't need the uber protein found in Orijen or Evo. Wish I could find a food if that quality with protein in the mid to upper 20s. Orijen's Acadia brand is still too high for us. Anyway, this seemed like a decent choice and the price was reasonable. Not a huge fan of potato being added in but had no choice. Also wondering who the co-packer is. Concerned they are packed by a large firm which can pose an issue if there is a recall.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ethical Fleece Bone 5-Inch Dog Toy; Brand: Ethical; Review: my adult, 40 pound dog loves tiny toys especially ones that squeak. I bought a few of these and sad to say the squeaker did not hold up. Pretty pricey to have something fail in the first hour of use. Not sure I'll buy more.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: SafetyPUP XD - Protect Your Best Friend. Our Hi-Vis; Brand: SafetyPUP XD; Review: Have purchased several types of vests in the past - all have had their short comings. Thought i'd give this one a shot as it checked off a lot of the boxes I was looking for -- good coverage, high visibility and could be seen from the front. Living in Vermont it was important my Duck Tollers who are the color of deer stood out during our daily walks in deer season. So far so good. Ordered one yellow, one orange more so because I couldn't decide on a color and this way I knew which one fit which dog. I was unsure about medium or large but fellow Amazon buyers all said medium. Size is spot on. I do agree with other comments about wishing the stomach strap was elastic. I am not tightening that strap as much as I should to make sure it is comfortable for the dogs but the end result is a vest that is turning sideways a bit. Appreciate that it does not wrap around their collar like our previous vest did but has a separate strap.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |

Title: Polar Bear Coolers - Nylon Line - Quality Like No Other From the Brand You Can Trust; Brand: Polar Bear Coolers; Review: Looked at it simply because it had a shoulder strap.

Title: New Wave Enviro BpA Free 1 Gallon Water Bottle (Round); Brand: New Wave; Review: Great bottle! Perfect for getting my gallon a day in. I gave it a 4 out of 5 for two reasons. 1, the cap really has to be on for it not to leak. First time I put it on with moderate torque and it leaked. So I muscled it from there on and it was fine. 2, the mouth part of the bottle is a little rough on my mouth. Not enough to cut you or anything but it's just a little uncomfortable. Other than that tho, it's a solid jug! Great handle and love that it's BPA free. We'll see how long it'll last me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Beauport Holiday Park Park Holidays UK; City: Hastings East Sussex England; Review: We spent a short break in a gold plus caravan, which was very good the central heating, ( which is not in every gold plus), was very efficient as the evening were quite cold. The site itself is not for the unfit as the terrain is steep. Reception was extremely friendly and efficient. The entertainment centre was disappointing, it was impossible to have a conversation as the bingo and music was very loud, the bar staff were offhand. Parking was a problem as it was disorganised for those who were not owners of caravans. Overall reasonable for a short break but we would not go for longer.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

When we arrived there was a delay as some of the cleaners had not turned up. The site was clean and tidy apart for near the exit from the site where it became a little messy. The staff on the whole were polite and efficient. Overall we were a bit disappointed where the van was situated near the main road.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: LEGO Star Wars 75110 Luke Skywalker Building Kit; Brand: LEGO; Review: Cool looking figure. Was fun to build and very easy. Took me about 15-20 minutes casually. The pieces are high quality, as you'd expect for Lego. He stands tall, so be prepared to have a space to display before you buy. As he's lego, he doesn't look as natural as a droid figure but still nice anyway. His cape though seems uncharacteristically low quality and sits very stiffly on him, which breaks the illusion. For this I docked a star.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: LEGO Star Wars K-2SO 75120 Star Wars Toy; Brand: LEGO; Review: I loved Rogue One. so naturally I loved K-2SO. This is a great model. It's extremely easy to assemble. It took me about 10-15 minutes casually to assemble. It stands fairly tall so unless you have a place to display it, you won't know what to do with it. Its arms and legs are articulating and you can pose him in different poses.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: IELLO King of Tokyo: New Edition Board Game; Brand: IELLO; Review: I bought this based on great reviews online. I had previously not encountered it before but jumped on it as it was on sale. Like most new board games, it took a while to wrap our head around. It's a fun concept. Your goal as a giant monster is to rule Tokyo or destroy your competition. It's an interesting strategy of destroying others while trying to keep yourself alive based on whether you're in Tokyo or trying to get in from outside. The true fun of the game comes in the powers you can buy - to really get the most bang for your buck, I would recommend playing with more players. It states a minimum of 2 but it's pretty boring with just one other person. More people means more turns and more chances to have powers that can really make the game interesting. If you're bored (board) and looking for a new game to try, give this a shot. I wouldn't say it's an instant classic but it's a decently fun game for a group.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: LEGO Simpsons 71006 The Simpsons House; Brand: LEGO; Review: This was a very fun build. Built with my nephew. It took several hours but was very satisfying!

Each figure is highly detailed. Take a star off as it's crazy expensive.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Funko POP Heroes: Batman vs Superman - Superman Action Figure; Brand: FunKo; Review: Flying superman! Love the unique poses of the various superman. He has his classic widow's peak.

Title: PLR Optics 52MM HD Multi-Coated Variable Range (ND3, ND6, ND9, ND16, ND32, ND400) Neutral Density (ND) Fader Filter; Brand: PLR; Review: The lens itself was a great fit for the Nikon lens. But the same can't be said about actual filter quality. The lens at lower setting works fine. But most of the time, you'll want to use it almost at max density. The problem at higher density is that it's not uniform. But this seems like it's a common issue with adjustable density filters though.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: ShadeWorks; City: Boise, ID; Review: I just got my Shadeworks pergola installed this week and I wish I could upload pictures to show everyone because it is freaking AWESOME. It started out talking with a super nice girl on the phone that was tons of help and super nice, I think her name was Jenn and if I'm wrong sorry!!!!!!!!! She had Yo come out to our house to show us all the options and help us figure out how we should design it. Yo was a ton of fun and great to work with and everything he said is exactly how the pergola turned out. The installer was really nice and any questions I had he was super helpful to explain, the installer did an amazing job because the back of my house has a lot of angles and I had doubts they could make it work but he did it and it looks like the house was built with the pergola. I shopped around and the material they use seemed to be thicker and less likely to get dented if something hit it. I originally was going to go with wood but didn't because I didn't want the maintenance that comes along with wood and on my house this looks 100 times better. Thanks Shadeworks you killed it on this one, I'm really thinking this pergola needs to be in your next brochure. Thanks Rob; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Canyon Electric; City: Garden City, ID; Review: I bought a Hot Tub and was referred to Canyon Electric for the electrical. They came out the same day to give me a quote and then worked with the hot tub company to plan when they can come out at the same time. The work is so professional looking. I'm very impressed with the entire experience and I'm going to need some more electrical work done in my back yard in the spring and I have no doubt that I will be using Canyon Electric. Luis was a very nice guy and great to deal with. Thank you. I'm adding to my review almost a year later. I've had Canyon electric come out again and put outlets in for my yard project and also for out door TV, bonus room theater and move a switch in the master bathroom that was put behind the door by the builder for some odd reason. Luis runs a great business and everyone he has had work on my house has been very good. I've left them all in my house with zero concerns and they have just locked up when they leave. Thank you Luis and I will be calling you soon when I figure out what outdoor heaters to purchase.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Golden Wheel Drive-In; City: Boise, ID; Review: They have great food, I would recommend them. The only thing I wish they would change is their ice tea. The ice tea is horrible.

Everything else is super good and I will continue to go there and just get water or an amazing chocolate milk shake.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Hotel Tequendama; City: Bogota; Review: The Tequendama definitely had better days, they are currently remodeling some of the rooms now have LCD TVs and have been fully remodeled. The remodeling works mean that there are noises, paint smell, and the other nuances you will expect in a remodeling environment. Unfortunately if you get a room in the lower floors you will be hearing all the noise from the street all night. I will not recommend this hotel for tourist travel, definitely just worth staying here if you need to go on business and be close to the financial district. The hotel is as secure as it get, the government is in charge of security so even thought is not in a nice area it has military police in all access points 24/7. If you are going on leisure to Bogotá I will recommended the Embassy Suites, Casa Real or the Radisson.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Villa Boheme; City: Culebra Puerto Rico; Review: I stayed in villa Boheme a couple of years ago, have to say that after traveling across Latin America and the Caribbean there is something special about Villa Boheme and Culebra. It has to be one of the best places to relax that you can find, its a no frills small hotel, but it is five stars for tranquility. The hotel overlooks the Ensenada bay and sunrises & afternoons are amazing. Try to stay in the second floor room with the king bed, has a small balcony were you can sit to admire the amazing view.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Embassy Suites by Hilton Bogota Rosales; City: Bogota; Review: I stayed at the Embassy Rosales for about 45 days due to a long term business trip. I can say that overall it is one of the best hotels in Bogota in terms of service, price and location. The only thing and can begin to be a bit annoying when you stayed more than a few days is that the food in both the restaurant and room service (excluding the breakfast buffet which is good) is as far below average. In terms of service the hotel staff was very friendly and everytime I used the laundry service clothes came on time. I will recommend this hotel to any business traveler, the hotel has also a small gym. Walking distance form the hotel are a large variety of restaurants, some of the best in Bogota and the area is pretty safe at nigth/day.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Homewood Suites Orlando International Drive Convention Center; City: Orlando Florida; Review: We stayed the last week of August in this hotel. At first we were given a room with window air conditioner units, which appear to some of the ones they are currently renovating. These definitely didn't work with orlando's heat, we expressed we wanted a change in room and front desk staff quickly put us in a room that had the normal central air units (Thanks Ximena!). Kudos for their fast response. There is some renovation work going on on the hotel, however it takes place during day hours..most of which we were at the Disney parks so we didn't felt the noise...if you plan to stay on the hotel during the day that may be a problem. In general this is a good hotel, we found it to be clean and the room very spacious. The fronts desk staff was always very attentive when we had questions or request so we appreciated the customer orientation of the staff. The hotel is right on international drive so you have plenty of choices of restaurants close to the hotel. The complimentary breakfast buffet is good and they keep it well stock and clean. The hotel doesn't have room service but they have the Fridays restaurant as their recommended l "room service" provider. We had pizza from Fliperias, the Pizza delivery they recommend and it was pretty good. In general I will stay again at this hotel and will recommend this a as a good option for families traveling with kids.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Cartagena; City: Cartagena Cartagena District Bolivar Department; Review: This hotel is old, there is a relatively new wing in which I stayed.

Beverage and food service was fine at the pool area were fine, breakfast buffet was top quality. perfect destination to just relax on the beach.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Norwalk; City: Norwalk Connecticut; Review: Great service, stayed for a long term stay of 30 days. Staff accomodated all needs ( change of room, fridge, micro oven, etc. Compared to other courtyards the rooms showed the years...but overall is a well kept hotel with great staff.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Manhattan Times Square North; City: New York City New York; Review: Stayed one night on this hotel, chose this hotel based on reviews in Tripadvisor and glad I did. Front Desk staff was pleasant and were able to accommodate both an early check inn and late check out. Easy access to restaurants, Broadway just one block away, very convenient. Room was clean, nicely decorated and rooms were quiet. We were on the 10th floor, hotel was packed and I dont recall hearing noise during the night. Highly recommended as a base in midtown. Parking cost is just the average you see in NYC, expensive, but that is the norm in Manhattan. Various options for dinning, lunch and breakfast close to the Hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dorado Beach a Ritz Carlton Reserve; City: Dorado Puerto Rico; Review: We stayed three days at the Ritz Reserve at Dorado during July 4th weekend. It was an short but sweet experience, the overall facilities and the quality of the service went above our expectations. From the moment we left our rental car at the roundabout we were greeted by one of the hotels managers, we arrived a bit earlier than the 3PM check in time but room was ready in a few minutes. We were given a tour of the resort in a golf cart by one of the Ambassadors and returned to our room. The room was excellent, clean and with a floor to ceiling glass door that allowed you to see the beach clearly from your bed....rooms in the east wing are located about 30 feet from the beach. The beach on the east wing is a cove with reefs, so not necesarilly for swimming but you can explore the reef and is a bit more private than the west wing. Complimentary mountain bikes and helmets are given to each guest so that you can explore the huge property, they were parked outside our rooms when we arrived. On our first nigth we dinned at Mi Casa, the resort signature restaurant. We had the tasting menu, the food was excellent! Quality of ingredients is superb and great ambient at the restaurant, good wine list with reasonably priced wines. The restaurant is popular, so if you plan to go to Mi Casa, make reservations a few days in advance with the hotel concierge before your arrival. During the second day of our stay we went for a bike ride in the rockefeller nature trail, it started raining and we had to wait out the rain under a bridge. After calling the hotel , one of the ambassadors came in a golf cart to pick us up with towels to dry up, very tougthful. The pool and beach area were clean and nicely set up...there was plenty of space to enjoy. The second nigth we dined at Encanto, we ordered small dishes and all of them were very tasty. Rebecca, our ambassador had a few surprises for us that nigth, we had a great time and will remember our stay at the Ritz Dorado Beach as one of the best vacations we had in recent times. I will definately recommend this as a great new alternative in the Carribean for wedding, honeymoon or anniversary celebrations...or just if you are looking to relax for a few days. P.S. on our last day we had breakfast on our room balcony, the quality of the food made by Casa was superb everything from the waffles to the ripe fruit was excellent.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: Stayed here recently for a conference, check in was prompt and hotel room had a nice view of downtown Chicago. The overall facilities of the hotel are well kept and location is close to several restaurants and city attractions.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: A Week in Winter; Author: Visit Amazon's Maeve Binchy Page; Review: This was the first Binchy book I'd read in years and just like the others, it was escapism at its best! From the first few pages, i realized I would be stealing moments of time from my hectic life to be swept away to the sights and sounds of the wild Irish coast and the warmth and healing magic inside Stone House. The characters and their stories were captivating and I felt myself hoping that each of them found happiness in the end as their lives intertwined in a guesthouse by the sea. Highly recommended. I'm off to buy my next Binchy book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: True to the Highlander (The Novels of Loch Moigh); Author: Visit Amazon's Barbara Longley Page; Review: Great escapism! At first I thought it was a total rip off of one of my fave books, The Outlander, but it was an enjoyable read in its own right. Looking forward to the sequel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tuscan Rose; Author: ; Review: If you want historical fiction that is escapism at its best, Tuscan Rose delivers! Set in Italy in WWII, it offers a beautiful love story, human triumph, courage, empathy, brutality, bravery and a gorgeous descriptive writing style. I can't wait to read another Belinda Alexandra novelI found a new favorite author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Lily's White Lace (Avalon Romance); Author: Visit Amazon's Carolyn Brown Page; Review: Fun, light easy read but not as special and developed as The Ladies' Room, which was a perfect book to escape to.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Year I Met You; Author: Visit Amazon's Cecelia Ahern Page; Review: I typically LOVE Cecelia Ahern's books but this one was so-so for me. The pace and writing style felt manic and anxiety ridden. I still love this author but this book didn't have the charm or characters that draw you in like PS I Love You, Where Rainbows End and The Book of Tomorrow.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Color of Secrets; Author: Visit Amazon's Lindsay Jayne Ashford Page; Review: I enjoyed this book. It took a difficult subject (interracial relationships in time when this was taboo) and provided a warm love story.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sincerely, Carter; Author: Whitney Gracia Williams; Review: Light easy read. Read it in a day. Hot sex scenes with a cute story line. Ideal if you don't want anything you have to think too hard about. Great for reading on a flight or at the beach.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: After You: A Novel (Me Before You Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's Jojo Moyes Page; Review: After You was another wonderful read by Jojo Moyes. In reading some of the reviews before purchasing, I was a little concerned because people were rating it poorly compared to Me Before You. But this is a different book entirely and shouldn't be compared. It has the laughs, ups and downs, grit and love that had me stealing minutes to read it every chance I could (at red lights, over breakfast, etc). The ending screams out for a third book as there is so much more of the story yet to be told. Bring it on!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Windfallen; Author: Visit Amazon's Jojo Moyes Page; Review: I usually LOVE Jojo Moyes books but this one was just good, not great like her other ones. Easy read for a rainy afternoon.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: The Marvel Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to the Characters of the Marvel Universe; Author: Visit Amazon's Daniel Wallace Page; Review: I ordered this product because I'm a Marvel fan. Pure and simple. I grew up reading comic books and I wanted to have a book with a description of all the characters that I'd come to love. This book is great for that. It offers an in depth look at most every character in the Marvel Universe. Yes, most. There are a few key characters that don't have a page, but are mentioned in other characters bios. The section for the Guardians of the Galaxy was also a little lacking. Still, this book is a lot of fun for anyone who just loves the characters and wants the equivalent of a mini wiki on their book shelf.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Millionaire Next Door; Author: Visit Amazon's Thomas J. Stanley Page; Review: Still a relevant read. The observations in this book can be used by anyone to gain wealth and retire comfortably.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Great Ghost Stories (Books of Wonder); Author: Various; Review: An entertaining read of some great classics. They're in a variety of styles, so there should be something to chill everyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Live Like A Narnian: Christian Discipleship in Lewis's Chronicles; Author: Visit Amazon's Joe Rigney Page; Review: If you adore C. S. Lewis and the world he created, then I recommend this book. In the same style as 'Not a Tame Lion' it offers fascinating insight into several characters and occurrences in the world of Narnia. After all, who doesn't want to live like a Narnian? (Or an Archelander at the very least.); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Berkley Street (Berkley Street Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Ron Ripley Page; Review: While I was left with a few questions (mostly on Mr. Anderson and the final fate of Carl and the others) I enjoyed this read. Ripley sets up a great atmosphere for the house and takes a few surprising turns along the way. It's a short book and leaves you wanting more of it. The bonus chapters spread a little light but I did want more explanation.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: What's Wrong With Religion; Author: Visit Amazon's Skye Jethani Page; Review: Skye has done it once again. His writing is relevant, witty, and sincere as always. Having read several of his books now (The Voters Booth, With, and Futureville) I officially consider myself a fan of his writing. He is not afraid to peel back the layers of 'Religion' and take a look at what the heartbeat of the issues and truths are. This book was enlightening and very needed in today's tumultuous religious atmosphere. Job well done.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Hold’Em Suspender for Kids Boy USA Made Polished Clip Genuine Leather Crosspatch, Perfect for Tuxedo; Brand: Hold'Em; Review: fit both my 10 month old and my 2 year old with lots of room to grow. I imagine they'll be fine up until 6-10 years old. The grips/clasps are really secure as well. I'm comparing them to suspenders I bought at the mall for myself, they have extra little white "teeth" inside the clasps that really help them stay on.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SYROKAN Women's High Impact Front Closure Racerback Full Support Sports Bra; Brand: ; Review: for smaller ladies (strap and cup) stick to your normal size. I listened to the reviews and went up a band size to 34C ... lovely bra, but ordering a 32C for a better fit. You can jump all over the place in this and the ladies won't go anywhere. I'm a nursing mom so mine need gentle support, this is great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Women's Legacy Leather Backpack Handbag Purse Sling Shoulder Bag; Brand: Vine Branch; Review: Got this for my preschooler ... been holding up well all school year. Fits a standard size folder.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Doreen Women's Loose Hoodie T Shirt Tops Short Sleeve Mini Dress Casual Blouse; Brand: Doreen; Review: I sized up a couple times because I wanted a really lose shirt for working out... however for those of you that want a contoured look.. it's not "curvy" like the picture. It's very straight cut and rectangular. Perfect for me... but not what is in the pic. Very comfortable if you're looking to buy a larger size as a gown or around the house wear... or for exercise.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: U.S. Polo Assn. Girls' Dotted Swiss Tiered Sundress; Brand: U.S. Polo Assn.; Review: I ordered 3 of these dresses, sizes 18 months, 2T and 4T for my girls (chunky infant, 2 y/o, tall 3 y/o). The straps do not stay on. They constantly slip off the shoulders, so I had to safety pin them to some tank top undershirts... so that part is "too big". Most importantly: This is not a dress. This is a tunic length tank top, it falls just below the crotch and is adorable when they are simply standing still, but the least bit of movement shows their bottom, and it definitely isn't long enough to cover a diaper/pull up/undies when sitting down. The 18 month size came with a diaper cover. So this one was perfect for an infant where length doesn't matter much. We did put bike shorts underneath... but it ends up looking like a longish tank top and shorts, not a dress.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: RuffleButts Little Girls Ruffled Denim Skirt with Bow; Brand: ; Review: They've changed these. So if you're looking to purchase again, know it may not be the same product. The waistband is no longer "too tight" like everyone was complaining about... however my kid needed that! so personally very disappointed, but everyone else should be thrilled :) I ordere 4t for my 3 year old... knowing what I know now I would have ordered 3t for her.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Girl Baby Toddler Infants Grosgrain Ribbon Headband Multi-Color 12pcs by ColorBeBe (JC-013); Brand: ColorBeBe; Review: Decent for the price... would not get if you have kids that play with the hair supplies. the ribbon is not secured very well and after being handled by my 2 and 3 year old daughters they are falling apart. Sucks because I wanted to buy another set so they could match colors. Also isn't very expensive though... so that's a plus. but for this quality you might as well buy the ones from the local "chinese store" or beauty shop; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Stride Rite Little Girls' Six-Pack Tutu Lace Socks; Brand: ; Review: great socks! I wanted to get these for my daughter and thought the sizes were "little girl" ... but these are baby/toddler sizes!!! luckily they fit my other daughter just fine who wears size 7 in toddler sizes. Just a little on the thin side... could be because her foot is size 7 though.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cartoon Waterproof Children's Raincoat (S, Pink); Brand: SKL; Review: Size small fits my average sized 4 year old daughter with a little room to spare Very thin fabric, very lightweight... almost like a fancy poncho, so very nice for summer. This is not for very windy or chilly weather. I also wouldn't plan on using this product for much more than a year... durability feels questionable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: French Toast Girls' Ruffled Pique Dress; Brand: ; Review: got this for my 2 year old who wanted to be like her big sister with the school clothes. She loves it..I love the way the color isn't fading in the wash and it seems very durable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: French Toast Girls' Pleated Hem Jumper with Ribbon; Brand: ; Review: I bought several 3T items for my 2 year old in hopes she'd wear them for a while... this one is kinda short now even though all the others still fall just above the knee. She's only 2 and a half... but she is a size 3T in all brands I've purchased.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: French Toast Girls' Two-Tab Pleated Scooter; Brand: ; Review: You NEVER have to iron this one. definitely a winner; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Children's Place Girls' Short Sleeve Uniform Polo Dress; Brand: ; Review: I think this is a tiny bit larger than my daughter's other 4T dresses because she's still able to wear it but has grown out of most others, I don't mind of course! Used this for a power puff girls costume for school...wanted something we could reuse. Fits like it's supposed to. Nice weight. "twirls"; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Charm Your Prince Women's Designer Round Neck Long Sleeve Maxi Dress; Brand: Charm Your Prince; Review: It was perfect!!! I ordered size medium, I wore it for a trip to the beach for pics at 6 months pregnant, I am 5'6" and was about 137-140 lbs, it swept the ground just tiny bit , not enough to get under my feet, but enough so that I felt kinda regal. I was 36 B and the chest bit fit nicely but any smaller than that and I would say go for a bit of padding maybe... its really stretchy though so very likely can fit up to D cup or higher. I did not find the dress to be see-through in any of my pictures and I didn't wear anything under it like a slip or anything. The sleeves came long, just past my wrists which I loved. The neck line is not low...so really nice if you're not really into cleavage. The dress has a nice weight to it, so it falls very prettily. The white is very very white though... not a natural sort of ivory white with the yellowish undertone, but a super bleached white, kinda like the color you'd expect to see on a white swim suit or white sportswear. I found it hard to pair exactly with other whites, so I went with silvers and it was lovely.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Eddie Bauer Girls' Sweater (More Styles Available); Brand: ; Review: Slim fitting, very warm. I suggest sizing up 1 size. We bought 4T for our 3T size child and it was perfect until she started moving into 4T clothes, now it's a little tight on her.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DREAM PAIRS ANGEL-22 Mary Jane Front Bow Heart Rhinestone Buckle Ballerina Flat; Brand: DREAM PAIRS; Review: I have multiple kids so these are perfect for us, but they are a tiny bit small compared to other size 8 shoes my daughter has. I do not recommend sizing up it's not that drastic of a difference...but definitely plan to wear stockings or tights instead of thick socks. They are a very lightweight shoe, thin material (not flimsy just thin) The buckle is a true working buckle. They are easy to walk in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: French Toast Becki Mary Jane (Toddler); Brand: ; Review: Size 9 is actually a size 8.5. Velcro closure not a real buckle heavy sturdy shoe, good for mild play at parties. Can run in these safely.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Disney Moana Girls Adventure Outfit , Size 4-6X; Brand: Disney; Review: This is meant for the average 8 year old in size if you want it to fit like the movie. The model is likely about 7 years old. My 5 year old had to have hers sewn to fit properly; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: RainStoppers Umbrella; Brand: RainStoppers; Review: Perfect size for a 3 year old. A little small for my 5 year old if the purpose is to really keep her dry. As a toy/accessory it's fine though. For keeping the sun off it's fine for a 5 year old. Easy to open and close for a child. No sharp edges. Metal framework so pretty sturdy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: DOTASI Women Bikini Belly Chain Tassel Crossover Body Chain Necklace(Silver ); Brand: DOTASI; Review: this pairs best with either a slender chest (like the manequin) or some spanx or something. If you are larger chested and wear an outfit that "individualizes" your breasts, the chains will drape around each of them in a peek-a-boo effect rather than over top as pictured; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bluetime Womens Pleated Short Braces Skirt (FBA); Brand: BLUETIME; Review: I read the reviews and have been gentle with the zipper. Fits nicely and is holding up nicely so far. Skirt has a decent amount of weight to it, it's not light as a t-shirt. So it does swirl a tiny bit as you turn. I got size Medium. I am 135 lbs 5'6" and a C cup. It fit nicely on the chest (the straps stayed where they are...didn't slide out around to the sides). I wore a support undershirt but this is very form flattering for those of us wth a little extra weight in the tummy after pregnancy that is all out of proportion to the rest of us... it fits nicely.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: The Tin Drum; Author: Gnter Grass; Review: I have 4 children, ages 1-8, and we love this. The first time we played, my husband had the best time, too. I bought them for church--I teach music to the children ages 3-11, but I am getting so much use with them at home. It is great for teaching chords, rhythm, notes, etc. I make poster charts with color co-ordinating dots on the words. I bought 2 sets. It has been a hit with the kids at church. I also took them to a family reunion this weekend and we had the best time. I wish there were a better product for making poster charts, because that takes a lot of time for me to make them. I was sad only having 8 notes, instead of 13 keys. (If you play the piano, it means you only get the white keys, no black keys) It really is difficult to come up with chords and change keys to make songs work, but it was SO much cheaper than the 13 note set, I have gotten over it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Cliff Lodge; City: Nantucket Massachusetts; Review: My boyfriend and I started a tradition a few years back of coming to nantucket for vacation every summer. We try not to spend a crazy amount on lodging because we aren't usually in the room very much. I'm rating this one on the lower end of things because there is simply no reason for a lot of the issues. Room 10 was incredibly dusty. So I took it upon myself to wipe all of the surfaces in the bathroom down. This should have been done prior to our arrival. Second, there is no real door on the bathroom. So if you are staying with others you best be comfortable around them. Third, the walls in the inn are really thin. One night we were walking back to our room and we heard someone in another room snoring incredibly loud. We were lucky that most of the other guess were pretty quiet but I was woken up every morning at 6 by the guests in the room next to us showering. There is also no temperature control in room ten. It was FREEZING our entire stay. Trich was really nice and she seems to always be available. Breakfasts were okay, not great. Linens were clean, and it was nice that they provide beach towels. The Inn definitely needs some updates as a lot of the recent reviews state. Maybe if that happens we will stay there next year.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites DuBois; City: DuBois Pennsylvania; Review: I was very impressed with this hotel. Rooms were spotless. Service was great! Even when we checked in at almost 2 in the morning! Seemed quiet, we didn't hear any noise. Breakfast was pretty terrible but it was free.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pittsburgh Marriott North; City: Cranberry Township Pennsylvania; Review: We stayed here one night for a wedding. The hotel was just okay. The lobby area looked very nice and the breakfast buffet was good. However, our room smelled TERRIBLE. I think it needed new rugs. Bathroom wasn't super clean either. There were hairs in the container for the in room coffee and sugars. I expected more out of a big Marriott like this.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Omni Providence Hotel; City: Providence Rhode Island; Review: The hotel room was clean, it had the normal amenities you would expect in the hotel. The pool area was overrun with kids playing hockey on the floor in the hallway and no staff from the hotel was around to tell them not to be running around. So we did not utilize the pool area which we were planning on because of the misbehaved screaming children. Front desk staff were not very friendly and did not give us any information about the hotel. Also, the pillows are incredible HARD! Bring your own! Overall, stay was just okay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Newark Elizabeth; City: Elizabeth New Jersey; Review: The location is convenient, however a little hard to get to. Our room was filthy. There something smeared all over the walls. Stains on the couch. Stains on the carpet. And hair from the previous guest all over the bathroom. Definitely not what I would expect from a Marriott.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Ipswich Inn Bed and Breakfast; City: Ipswich Massachusetts; Review: One of my only pet peeves travelling is how clean the rooms are. We stayed in the Wicker Room. The shower curtain was covered in mold and smelled AWFUL! That started me off on the wrong foot with this place. The room also needed to be vacuumed and dusted. For the most part the inn was pretty quiet but I woke up at 6 AM to the guests above us stomping around. Breakfast was decent.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel; City: Springfield Massachusetts; Review: The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom needed to be remolded. Overall though we did not sleep very well as it was so NOISY! People yelling down the hallways and slamming doors. We were jolted awake every hour or so to someone yelling. Was way too expensive for our experience there.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Periwinkle B B; City: Nantucket Massachusetts; Review: We've been coming to the island for many years now. This was our first time staying at the Periwinkle inn. We had booked more last minute than usual as we had decided to get one last trip in before the arrival of our baby. Our normal inn was all booked up. Our room was very small, which we warned about but the shower and sink were also very tiny. I am 5'1 and had a very hard time using this shower. The breakfast was not good. We usually rely on this at other inns as to not eat all of our meals at the restaurants, but we couldn't do that here. There was no real coffee. Only a K-cup machine. The yogurt was all chunky and separated like it had been stored at the wrong temperature. Several of the towels in our rooms were stained and the provided toiletries had already been used by previous guests.... Bed was also very hard and comfortable. There was no place in the room to hand jackets (which would have been nice since it rained the entire time we were there) and no closet. Location in town was great but I don't think we would choose to stay here again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Scary States of America; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Teitelbaum Page; Review: First, in all honesty, I did not buy my copy of Michael Teitelbaum's "The Scary States of America" - I won it in a radio contest. I'm sure I've more than made up for it because, after reading it, I ordered a dozen copies to give to friends this holiday season. Teitelbaum is such a fantastic storyteller that it's easy to forget that you're reading "weird and terrifying stories based on true events." Each encounter is ripe with action, suspense, and that certain "something" that gives a spooky tale its lasting ring. He's also kept the topics lively by mixing tried and true ghost stories with UFO sightings, tales of voodoo, a run-in with Bigfoot, and even a zombie for good measure. My daughter, only 8-years old, couldn't put it down and read it from cover to cover in three days! All of her friends have been begging to borrow the book or at least get her to retell one of Teitelbaum's chillers with the author's same flair. Looking for a great gift for a finicky tween or teen? This is it. "The Scary States of America" not only leaves you checking your closet for ghosts before bedtime, it also leaves some cash in your wallet. Teitelbaum has packed his thrifty collection with 50 stories, one from each state, so it's a bargain at only $7.99! Beth Brown Author of "Haunted Battlefields: Virginia's Civil War Ghosts" and "Conducting a Paranormal Investigation"; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Good Fairies of New York; Author: Visit Amazon's Martin Millar Page; Review: Martin Millar was recommended to me because I'm a fan of intelligent, dry wit. Millar did not fail to deliver. His humor (though I'm certain it is lost of some people) carries the reader through the gamut of social discomforts with a smirk. I'm not a regular reader of fantasy, but this book held my attention because of it's "real world" setting and quirky characters. The fairies themselves are usually drunk, stubborn, and arrogant - not your usual Tinkerbells. The humans caught in the middle of the fairies' schemes are also far from perfect, but that's another attractive quality of the story. Somehow, the displaced Scottish fairies manage to take every bad situation and only make it worse. Finding out if they manage to tidy up the series of catastrophes they cause makes for a fun and fast-paced read. This novel is a must for any big-city dweller with a place in their heart for old-world legends!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Graveyard Book; Author: Visit Amazon's Neil Gaiman Page; Review: Gaiman's timeless writing style swept me away into a world where the graveyard was not something macabre, but instead a place of comfort and family. "Nobody Owens" learns several valuable life-lessons from his ghostly friends and has a hard dose of social ugliness handed to him by the living. "Bod" is such an innocent character that the reader easily grows attached, your concern for his welfare increasing with every turn of a page. He handles new situations with such courage that you're left beaming like a proud parent! The supporting cast of characters are remarkably "fleshed-out" for the dead. Each becomes a member of the family, all directly connected to the growth and spiritual maturity of their young, living graveyard guest. Gaiman spares us the information dump that some authors use to provide background stories for their lesser characters and instead gracefully weaves hints and tidbits of history into an active storyline. The results are fantastic. The Graveyard Book is certainly NOT a trite coming of age tale. Gaiman's twists on the connections between life and death make this a fresh adventure for young and old.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich; Author: Visit Amazon's Adam Rex Page; Review: Here are some lines to describe this book best, Aside from its zing And aside from its zest. It's hard to go wrong with monsters and food, Even after a long day or When you're in a bad mood. Monsters, zombies, and even a Yeti Do everyday things Like eating spaghetti. They don't lurk or hide or scare. Instead, they visit the barber To sort out their hair. Adam Rex wins the prize for turning spooky to fun, And for weaving a joke through A well-crafted pun. I'm grown-up and I laughed `till I cried. It just goes to prove that I'm still a kid inside!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Happy Medium: Awakening to Your Natural Intuition; Author: Visit Amazon's Jodi Livon Page; Review: Packed with the author's own entertaining personal experiences, "The Happy Medium" acts as a guide for anyone hoping to manage and strengthen her connections with intuition. Jodi Livon gives fantastic examples of how you can learn to recognize the guiding energies and warning flags that are around us every day. Her advice regarding listening to these energies, trusting your heart, and using your head shows that this intuitive coach is not out to teach you a psychic "quick fix". She offers instead the steps to building a lifelong skill that can lead you to greater happiness and fulfillment with every choice you make. Livon also presents a humorous and insightful look at how growing up with a gift can make the childhood and teenage years even more awkward than they are already. Her unique perspective provides families of sensitive or psychic children an encouraging route towards nurturing the child's abilities. Perhaps more importantly, the author explains the importance of helping these children learn to set boundaries which prevent them from becoming overwhelmed by a steady stream of intuitive information. In all, Jodi Livon's advice on strengthening and understanding your psychic abilities and her fresh voice are welcome additions to my spiritual library!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: On Writing Horror: A Handbook by the Horror Writers Association; Author: Horror Writers Association; Review: This collection of essays is a valuable asset to anyone hoping to craft a story that brings chills (or shock, as the case may be) to its readers. From characters to plots to settings, the BEST writers in the horror world are assembled here to share their advice and secrets with you - don't miss your opportunity to benefit from this unique and insightful book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Every Monday Matters: 52 Ways to Make a Difference; Author: Visit Amazon's Matthew Emerzian Page; Review: Anyone hoping to volunteer should start with the inspiring ideas in "Every Monday Matters". My family has been doing many of these activities for years now, but still found the presentation of each fresh and motivating. If you have a troop of Scouts, students, retirees, or eager hands looking for ways to improve themselves and the community - get the ball rolling now by buying this book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Dead Travel Fast: Stalking Vampires from Nosferatu to Count Chocula; Author: Visit Amazon's Eric Nuzum Page; Review: While I don't really consider myself a fan of the vampire genre, I do feel I am pretty well-versed when it comes to the myths and legends surrounding this iconic "monster." At least I did before Eric Nuzum schooled me. After reading his quirky adventure into analyzing vampire lore and its effects on pop culture, I realized that what I knew before had barely scratched the surface of the mysterious bundle of facts and misunderstandings that surround these creatures who we love to hate. Nuzum is by no means an armchair investigator. His research led him from seedy New York clubs brimming with "lifestylers", people who choose to live the vampire life - including drinking human blood, to a desolate island monastery in Transylvania where the remains of Vlad Dracul are said to rest. Nuzum even decides to take a giant step towards better understanding the motivations of the vampire by drinking a bit of his own blood, an experiment that goes gruesomely awry. While this may sound very serious at first, Nuzum's first-person journalistic writing style coats everything with a healthy layer of humor and more than a hint of sarcasm. The author's trek through vampire lore leads readers on a fact-filled historical journey through Bram Stoker's classic tale and all of the post-publication drama that accompanied it, the evolution of the vampire in the 20th Century from mysterious Count to B-Movie icon, and even an analysis of the cult favorite "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series. Nuzum certainly leaves no stone unturned in his quest to discover why the vampire has humanity so caught up in his spell. I admit, I laughed out loud (often at inappropriate times) throughout the book. My only complaint about "The Dead Travel Fast" is one that the author could not help, one that was purely a result of fate - the book was published before the "Twilight" craze turned vampire genre into some sort of Hindenburg spectacle. I can only imagine what sort of hilarity could have emerged!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Physics: Why Matter Matters!; Author: Visit Amazon's Dan Green Page; Review: I purchased "Physics: Why Matter Matters!" for my 10-year old daughter, but found the layout and the approachable content a pleasure to read myself. The book was such a hit that several of my daughter's friends asked to borrow it to help with studying, and their parents commented that they were also pleased with the presentation of the material enough to seek out other titles in the same series. Well done.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Survival of the Soul (Do You Want to Know Everything?); Author: Visit Amazon's Lisa Williams Page; Review: The Survival of the Soul by Lisa Williams describes the journey of our souls from the energy plane to Earth (and back again) using the information channeled from the author's many Spirit Guides. As someone who is very skeptical of any claims of communication with the spirit world, I was unsure how much of The Survival of the Soul I would be able to digest before it pushed the boundary between believable and bull. I was pleasantly surprised when the author's grounded explanation of this epic spiritual journey wove together many of the ideas embraced by religions around the world, her personal near-death encounter, and concepts and events familiar to the "well attuned" who have lost loved ones and kept me eagerly reading until the end. Williams outlines the process by which souls cross over after death, including being welcomed by waiting friends and family and undergoing the often grueling "Life Review" to determine the growth of a soul while in a physical body. Though many aspects of a soul's duties and progress are, according to Williams and her Spirit Guides, intentionally kept secret from the living, the rules and expectations for souls wishing to visit those still on the Earth plane clearly explained in the book. Have you ever met someone for the first time but felt sure you knew them already? Lisa Williams says the reason for that may be because that person is a member of your "soul family" - a group of like souls who work together in differing roles in both the spirit realm and the physical. Particularly fascinating to me was the section about souls preparing to re-enter a physical body and their selection of parents who would best help to teach (or conversely, to learn) the lessons to better that soul's evolution. The Survival of the Soul is a spectacular guide for expanding your ideas about how lucid dreams, out of body experiences, spirit communication, and other phenomena are connected to the human personality beyond death. Though you may not agree with every detail, reading this book with an open mind may just bring to light many of the facets of the spirit world your intuition has already nudged you toward. Perhaps that in itself is a lesson for your soul.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Walking Through Walls: A Memoir; Author: Philip Smith; Review: Let me start by sharing that I am not normally a fan of memoirs, but Philip Smith's Walking Through Walls is definitely an exception. Philip tells the real-life tale of growing up in 1960s Miami with a stereotypically-Jewish mother and a father who is a world-renowned interior designer. Things take a turn for the strange when his father, Lew Smith, delves into the realm of conscious-expanding lifestyle changes and then learns to harness the power of his mind with the help of a mysterious retreat with an enlightened yogi. Sometimes moving, but often comical, the upheaval of the family's everyday life is shown through the eyes of an adolescent son struggling to deal with his "weird" new dad. The Smith family eventually moves from Miami's society pages to the spirituality news. Lew hones his abilities as a medium and receives very specific instructions from the spirit world about "psychic healing", a technique which is explained to him to be based on the simple grounds of vibrational energy. After much practice in this unusual new direction, Lew develops a huge word-of-mouth following as a "miracle man" able to cure any disease and heal any affliction. Interior design clients have to wade through lines of hopelessly ill visitors who line up each day outside of Smith's studio. Never once does he charge a penny for his services. If you have not heard of Lew Smith and his psychic clinic before now, I encourage you to learn more about this peculiar dot on the timeline of American history. If you are already familiar with Smith, I encourage you to read his son's account of his spiritual development, healing techniques, and his legacy. The story is an emotional roller-coaster, but the paths of both Lew and Philip that are shared in Walking Through Walls are certainly examples from which everyone on the road to personal enlightenment can learn.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Psychic Shield: The Personal Handbook of Psychic Protection; Author: Visit Amazon's Caitlin Matthews Page; Review: As our lives grow busier and we are surrounded by more and more people and their energies, protecting ourselves psychically becomes much more important. Caitlin Matthews provides an easy-to-understand explanation of how to maintain a positive mental state and our physical vitality by shielding ourselves from the intentional and unintentional negative psychic vibrations of others. This book can prove extremely beneficial for those working in corrections, mental health, or any other high-stress, emotionally intense job.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Something to Prove; Author: Visit Amazon's Shannyn Schroeder Page; Review: I adore a romance in which the female lead has goals OTHER than finding a man, and "Something to Prove" definitely accomplishes that. The abrasive-yet-attractive interaction between Elizabeth and Colin is well executed and makes the story one that's hard to put down. Once the two finally connect, the chemistry between them is surprisingly realistic and not a bit "fluffy" or "fairy tale", leaving me with the rush of having just fallen in love again. Shannyn Schroeder's writing definitely shines in this installment of "The O'Learys" series and her sharp, smart dialog will keep this reader coming back for more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: The Westin Kuala Lumpur; City: Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: Ask for a higher level for a better view. The pool is somewhat empty compared to the other nearby hotels if you want privacy (by looking at the hotel window view). Gym is adequately equipped. Took the high tea buffet - and nicely delivered but not so much varieties of food.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Styles Aix les Bains Domaine de Marlioz; City: Aix les Bains Savoie Auvergne Rhone Alpes; Review: Normal and quite cheap rates. Room quite cosy with minimal facilities. No room climate (you have to open door), no bar/fridge, no ironing board, no iron, no free tooth brush, only 3 in 1 face hair body wash, no water heater with cups/ glasses. Wifi signals at room are inttermitent on and off so-so unless you go to the lobby. If you prefer nice and quiet - the walls arent good enough as you may heard people banging the doors and walking in hallways. Owh since you are opening the door for air to ventilate - outside noise will be heard too. Choose the room facing the forest for peace and quiet. Night time you will be dissapointed as cars will be passing around. Near to a hypermarket but farrrrrr from the train station and the nearest town. Not recommended for long business trip.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Tamaris Hotel; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: Its seems like a new renovated hotel. The elevator is old but cool though. The room is adequately equipped with necessary items. Room views are limited. Its like only 1 minute of slow walking to a metro station. Love the chique but retro style of this hotel. Downside is - the walls arent too thick. I was awake as my next door room checked in at 12AM and while waiting at the elevator at 7AM I heard the couple at the room having sex! LOL; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Citin Hotel Masjid Jamek by Compass Hospitality; City: Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: Our booking went a bit haywire although we book it online. Small roaches is everywhere. The pillows also smells roaches. My room the A/C a bit far from bed, so it took a while to cool off. Location is superb. But ensure higher floor if you do not want the streets noises below.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Novotel Melaka; City: Melaka Central Melaka District Melaka State; Review: I was here for a business trip for 2 nights. The hotel was rated 4 stars but actually I was quite dissapointed. I found long strands of hair in the toilet. Unfortunately also found long hairs trapped in between the pillows' velcro. Watermarks were clearly seen on the sink area and the seats near the door were not properly clean (seen some watermarks or something). At nights I can hear people taking showers upstairs and unknown prolong tapping sounds (not sure where it came from - hopefully not ghosts!) You can also see uneven paints at the hallways to your room. Breakfast buffet was so-so (you can get better at other hotels). Location was good as it was near to the malls and main attraction. Hotel parking was quite a plenty and safe with easy access. Counter staffs were good and responsive but somehow slow when in a sudden a group checks in or out as I am just in a hurry to validate my parking ticket only. Pool was nice but one of my main choice s because it had a gym - but dont be fooled with the pictures! It was rather small in reality but the equipment was pretty decent.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Pullman Weifang; City: Weifang Shandong; Review: I like the ambience of this hotel. Its just beside a shopping mall for ease of shopping and dine. The room is super comfy with proper working desk. Breakfast buffet is superb with local Chinese and Western cuisine. For fitness junkies - the gym and pool have adequate facilities for you. Love the indoor pool though!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sinabung Hills Hotel Cottage; City: Berastagi North Sumatra Sumatra; Review: This hotel and rooms will surely brings you back to the old feelings in the 80s. No need air conditioning as the wheather is already cold. Water heater is only available on certain times, so do your scheduling properly. Garden is well maintained and many outdooor activities such as pool, basketball court etc. Staff is very attentive and nice. Buffet breakfast is superb with variety but not the dinners. Magnificent view of the nearby hills will take breath away.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Agora; City: Aix les Bains Savoie Auvergne Rhone Alpes; Review: This is my second trip to Aix-Les-Bains. The first reason I chose this hotel is because of the location. It nearby to the markets, halal restaurants and shops. Some of the receptionists have very limited English capabilities, but I would like to thank one of them, as she is very helpful in making our check in a breeze and taught us how to move around the city via bus, for free (yes - I didn't know this until she told me. So please ask about this facility). The room was adequate for me as I got the room which is in the intersection - so due to the wierd shape of the hotel - the space was huge. This hotel have small fan (lucky! because my last year hotel got none!) as it was summer, and you do need this. The pool was always crowded, so I did not get the chance to have a dip. Anyhow, if I was happen to be in Aix-Les-Bains again - I will definitely to stay in this hotel again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ace Hotel; City: Ho Chi Minh City; Review: What I like about this hotel are its value for money and its location. Nearby the Ben Than Market, it is just a brisk walk there with less effort carrying goodies you have found there. As a Muslim I found it very easy to find nearby Muslim restaurants near the Market and fortunately they accept Ringgit Malaysia. I give a 5 stars to the staff that works at the Breakfast buffet. She is very attentive and supprisingly she manages it all by herself! Kudos! Unfortunately as the price is value - the room is a bit tad small for big people like me. There are no windows (if they do, you are having a premium suite facing the street or they are just basically a picture of a window drawn on the wall hehe) and its kinda 'suffocating' for me. Nevertheless - they suit the purpose of a good night rest.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Beijing 161 Wangfujing Hotel; City: Beijing; Review: The frontdesk staff is very helpful. Since we arrived around 1.20am we need a transfer to hotel. We just email them and they did the rest. The room was adequately sufficient to get a nice rest, but what I dislike is the pillow is too small and only one per person. Others is OK as it goes with the price. The location is nearby Dongsi Station like 3 minutes walking away. At Dongsi Station exit C, if you look across the street you can have a Halal Restaurant. The fornt desk is super helpful with our requests with fluent English. We ask for separate billing and even ask them to hail cab to go to Beijing South Train Station. Super helpful. I love the cafe, super chic!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Flemington Hotel; City: Taiping Larut Matang dan Selama District Perak; Review: The best part of this hotel is the location, as of it is very near to all of the tourist attractions. The pool is nice, but due to the glass panel is not cleaned, we can't see much of the view to the lake hence the infinity pool is overrated. Room view to the lake is much pricier compared to the other side. Breakfast buffet is good enough for you to head on the day.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grand Ion Delemen Hotel; City: Genting Highlands Pahang; Review: Slow check in process. Took me 1 hour and half to get me into the room. My first room was occupied with someone and had to changed the room. I am not sure why they put interns for a high rate of people checking in. No signage of where to queue. It is up until when I ask the supervisor which queue belong to which, then the crowd started to dispersed properly. Ask them to put a sign board for what line the queue was, but not done. Luckily I have an Indian lady manager (sorry I didn't get your name) but she is very helpful later with my change of room and helping the crowd of people checking in. Room was not sound proof at all. Could hear the neighboring room banging his wife in the evening and loud music. No smoking though (but there is a dedicated smoking area), but they actually allowed durians to be in the hotel. So my floor at night smells like a durian party. There is a free shuttle bus from the hotel and Genting Resort world - but please book in advance to secure your seat. Crowd was superbly high on holiday time - the restaurant and the pool. So choose your dates wisely. Considering that this is a 5 star rated hotel - please lower your expectations for this hotel with the other 4 or 5 star rated hotels you had been before.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Personal Velocity; Brand: Kyra Sedgwick; Review: This is one of those slice-of-life type of indie movies...while I like very much the actresses portraying the main character in each story, I didn't care for/about the characters AT ALL. I don't expect to "like" every character in a film - GOODFELLAS, CLOCKWORK ORANGE, HUD, THE WILD BUNCH, USUAL SUSPECTS all feature characters that are VERY BAD PEOPLE but they're excellent movies - I at least have to find characters "interesting," to "care" about 'em a bit for one reason 'r' another. The central character in each story herein is pretty much a self-absorbed or foolish person "stuck" in a situation primarily of her own making, w/ the exception of Ms. Balk's. Kyra S's character is nasty to people that try to help her and her possibly statutory sex act with a dopey teenage boy is supposed to be seen as EMPOWERING?!? Balk's character's car gets STOLEN by a kid she's trying to help (yeah, REALLY smart, her leaving the keys in the car w/ someone she barely knows!) and instead of feeling (naturally) upset/angry/nonplussed (as most people would), just THEN she has an "epiphany" about her unborn child?!? GIMME A #@&*in' BREAK!!!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Crunch: Ten Minute Buns VHS; Brand: ; Review: Have you ever seen a movie so bad that you actually held your head in your hands, shaking it in disbelief? Ever see a movie SO UTTERLY AWFUL that you've gained a new level of respect for ED WOOD? Not the biopic about Ed Wood, but Ed Wood himself??? It has happened. I've seen a movie so inexplicably appalling that I'm in favor of mandatory mental competency tests being given to Hollywood directors, actors, and screenwriters before a frame of film is shot. This cinematic cold sore is The Ten. It's an allegedly comedic collection of short stories "based" on each one of the Ten Commandments [tee hee]. Let's see, where to begin: IT'S NOT FUNNY. Not in the slightest. The stories have little or nothing to do with the particular Commandment to which it's linked...unless, of course, one can truly draw a line from the "thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods" ruling and connect it to two guys in prison making the beast with two backs (get the kids out of the room). Here's a sample of the dialogue, an argument between The Ten's host/moderator (played by, alas, Paul Rudd) has with his wife (Famke Janssen) in front of gigantic approximations of those TWO STONE TABLETS Moses brought down from Mt. Lebanon or wherever: Man: You know what, Gretchen? You know what you can do? Wife: Don't say something you're gonna regret. Man: Go... Man: Fly... Wife: I'm warning you, Jeff. Man: A... Wife: Don't you say it! Man [earnestly]: Go fly a kite, Gretchen! Go fly a kite! Get a load of this: A street sign reads, "No Parking 8AM - 6PM Mon. thru Adultery." One cop says amid a gathering of policemen, "Maybe we should call the cops." OY, what a hoot! Plus there's plenty of ham-fisted humor about butt-banging, size of the male member, California Gov. Ah-nuld, Mexican farmers, the Rapture, and a Mexican guy named "Jesus" who's really...the son of G*d! Golly, what guffaws! Further, Jessica Alba proves once again how gosh-awful CUTE and yummy-hot she is while displaying minimal acting ability. Winona R pours herself into a scene where she's passionately French-kissing a ventriloquist's dummy. Oh the humanity! I actually felt sorry for her. I would rather eviscerate myself with a rusty lawnmower than sit through Ten again. If there's somebody you wish to excise from your life, to cast him or her into the Abyss of the Formerly Known, give that special someone a DVD of The Ten. Give this wretched excuse for a "movie" to a friend and make an instant enemy.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Offerings; Brand: Kerri Bechthold; Review: This movie has a budget of maybe $930, lame-to-amputated acting, and a cheesy 80s-synthesizer soundtrack...but it's fun all the same! This movie even presages "Scream/Scary Movie" in a way (teens who've just eaten pizza with sausage [human meat] are watching & commenting on a horror movie on TV; local cops = morons). There's not much gore but there IS some nice direction/camera work and some of the killings are imginative. It's a big-hair, acid-washed-jeans nightmare! For a cheesy/cheap-O rip of "Halloween" it's actually amusing in an Ed Wood-y/MST3000 way.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Descent; Brand: Rosario Dawson; Review: An independent film, Descent came out in 2007, starring and produced by Rosario Dawson. Why have the collective We, duh movie-going/renting audience, not heard of this movie considering it stars someone of Ms. Dawson's renown? A damn good reason: It's not very good at all. Maya (Dawson) is an intelligent, shy, introverted, dating/relationship-less college student. We learn this because Maya is on the phone talking to her mom and she "invents" a nonexistent beau for her mom's benefit. First off, Ms. Dawson seems--looks--too self-assured (and a little too old, but that's not too big a dealbreaker) to be this doe-eyed character, and we all know that women as beautiful as Dawson are all-too-often in real life these wallflower-ish characters. (To put it a little more plainly, my Inner Guy chortled, "Yeah, right! Gals that look like her are lonely!" If you believe that Dawson, who wasn't even nerd-ed down for the role, could be such a character, then you'll likely buy Sandra Bullock as the snorting ugly-duckling FBI agent in Miss Congeniality.) Fast-forward a little: Maya meets Jared (the appropriate-monikered Chad Faust...that's right, Faust), a smug preppie-jock type that might as well be wearing a T-shirt or button saying, "Smooth-talking Sociopath." (In horror films, the equivalent: When someone or a group of people are lost on a nasty rainy night, they ask directions from a hunchbacked, clubfooted fellow that looks like Ernest Borgnine with a cleft palette---naturally, they follow his directions and end up with their heads mounted on a demented hillbilly's living room wall.) Maya rebuffs Jared initially, but his "charms" wear her down and she goes on what seems like a nice date with him. (It's the "nice" ones you have to watch out for. Booga!) As we can see lumbering up Fifth Avenue, Maya is date-raped. (Fade To Black.) Does Maya report him to the police or campus authorities? Does she get counseling? Does she even confide in her (female) best pal? We never find out. Maya becomes withdrawn. The guys she works with think she's a...well, what else do white good-looking college-age guys say to each other when a lady is withdrawn or distant? ("She's a ______, haw, high-five me, guys!") Why, they're insensitive jerks, of course! (We're all scum.) Maya takes to hanging out in a shadowy techno/house-driven dance club & begins her initial "descent", and...well, it's hard to say what happens. It's hard to say because it's hard to SEE, literally--it's implied Maya gets sucked into an underworld of artsy-fartsy-spooky-kookie types, drugs, and casual (group?) sex, but like many of these clubs, the lighting is low and/or intentionally blurry. Plus we never really see Maya ACTUALLY participating. OK, director/writer Talia Lugacy, lemme get this straight: You'll show your central character getting raped but you won't show her WILLINGLY engaging in acts of drugging & casual sex? She also falls under the "spell" of Adrian, a Svengali-like club DJ who's muscularly ripped to Infinity. Unlike Taxi Driver, Descent doesn't believably or compellingly depict Maya's descent into mental/emotional havoc, or, also like Taxi Driver, into an avenging angel.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Maiden Heist; Brand: Joseph McKenna; Review: ...my point being: You can have the GREATEST/COOLEST actors in the world in the cast, but without a DECENT SCRIPT, you've got nada. "MH" is an indie movie that substitutes quirkiness for characterization and common sense. Christopher Walken UNDERacts and Marcia Gay Harden OVERacts while W.H. Macy portrays a closeted gay version of Barney Fife/Dale Gribble (i.e., he tries to project the image of a bad*ss but he's obviously a bumbling clown...yeah, I'd want THIS GUY in on a heist w/ me). Great actors, LAME and UNFUNNY movie.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Trick 'r Treat 2007; Brand: ; Review: OK, LOTSA FOLKS HERE GOIN' OVERBOARD w/ the reviews! 'TrT' isn't exactly a classic but it's not horrible crap either. It moved at a good clip, didn't take itself too seriously, it's got Anna Paquin (sweet!) & Dylan Baker, a few surprises (but no major jolts, unless you are under 15 years old), plenty of refs to other horror movies...is sorta 'Creepshow' crossed w/ 'Pulp Fiction' style-wise, altho not nearly as swell as either of 'em. Minor spoiler: Nice touch having some pre-teenage victims (most movies of this sort have stupid, evil, and/or horny teens or adults as the killed). Well-worth a rental or a cheap purchase as long as yr expectations aren't too high!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Masked and Anonymous; Brand: Penelope Cruz; Review: ED WOOD LIVES! The auteur behind "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and "Glen or Glenda" made another film, only Dylan and Larry Charles think it's theirs!!! Like "Plan 9," "M&A" is mesmerizing in its badness. The dialogue is WRETCHED - this is one of those movies where you realize early on: Real people DO NOT talk like the characters in this movie! And IF they DID, anyone with half-a-brain would run away from them as fast as possible! The acting ranges from insanely OVER-THE-TOP to lame to amputated - many good-to-great actors say their lines as if each was so gosh-darn PROFOUND or if this were high school and "M&A" was their chance to "shine" in a 10th grade class play. The plot/story is heavy-handed satire on, well, stardom and America -- if someone under the age of 16 wrote the script, I'd say it was OK. As for Dylan's "acting" as "Jack Fate" (I guess "Irving Destiny" was already taken), I've seen CORPSES move more naturally. The soundtrack is nice, however. Criswell predicts: In the future where we will spend the rest of our lives, "M&A" will be held in the same regard as "Battlefield Earth," "Heaven's Gate" (also starring Jeff Bridges!), and "Pluto Nash." In other words, abysmal GARBAGE cinema.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Homecoming masters Of Horror; Brand: Thea Gill; Review: Some of the "negative" reviews seen here (and on [...], also) are mostly: "HOW DARE JOE DANTE use a movie to make a political point?!?" DUUH...apparently MANY people missed the "political" aspects ('twas satire, really) of G. Romero's 1st two "Living Dead" movies! And what about science-fiction movies with themes/plots re: dystopian futures? (Logan's Run, 12 Monkeys, Soylent Green, episodes of the Twilight Zone, the list goes on and on...) OR people are complaining, "Golly, the zombies don't EAT people, f'r cryin' out loud!" It's FICTION, friends!!! That's the great thing about fiction: One can take concepts/themes and "tweak" them 'til the cows come home to roost. My point, if I have one: Homecoming is NOT a classic, but a very amusing low-budget hunk of satire! (I loved Thea G's oh-too-thinly veiled take on Ann C, Queen of Selfishness!) It would've been better as a 1/2-hour T. Zone-type "short," actually. It WAS/IS low-budget, but so are a LOT of horror films...at least Dante & Hamm had a POINT they felt they had to make! If you don't LIKE or AGREE with that point, FINE -- that's your right. But don't bust their ****s (or anyone else's) for STATING their opinion! If you think it was lame as a MOVIE, say so! I have my opinion of John Wayne as a "super-patriot" (despite all his flag-waving he NEVER served in the Armed Forces, btw), but if "True Grit" or "The Cowboys" is on TV, I STOP WHATEVER I'M DOING AND WATCH, politics be darned! As for those who say Homecoming "disrespects" our Iraq War dead, WHERE WERE YOU FOLKS when GWB, a Texas Air Nat'l Guard "warrior," walked onto an aircraft carrier DRESSED IN A SOLDIER'S UNIFORM with a "Mission Accomplished" banner behind him?!?!? How would you feel if Clinton or Glenn Beck or Rush "Pills" Limbaugh addressed the USA dressed as a Green Beret, a Marine major, or an admiral?; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Whatever Works (Widescreen); Brand: ; Review: We, duh Audience, are supposed to believe a gal that looks like EVAN RACHEL WOOD is going to go for a guy that looks like the 3 Stooges' Larry Fine's GRANDFATHER?!? Woody Allen really unleashes his contempt for, heck, darn near anyone that doesn't live in New York City. A married couple of Middle American bumpkins visits NYC and before you know it, one comes out of the closet and the other embraces a "bohemian" relationship with TWO men (in the same bed)! Golly, is that all it takes? I think we, duh Audience, are supposed to see Larry David's character as a crusty but loveable misanthrope, but actually, he's a tool, a mean, self-absorbed tool. There ARE several genuinely funny moments in "WW," but not enough of them. Buy or rent "Love & Death" or "Take the Money & Run" for Allen films from when he was laff-out-loud FUNNY and not loaded with contempt for his non-NYC audience.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Elektra Luxx; Brand: Ermahn Ospina; Review: Some of the most beautiful and talented actresses in Hollywood are featured herein, the acting is good, but the screenplay drags it down. "EL" can't seem to settle on a tone. It tries to be a zany comedy (it's more amusing than funny), a drama, a satire (of porn movies?), a sexy romance,...it juggles all these in a somewhat unengaging, clumsy manner. There are (too) many characters and many silly situations (events that would only happen in porn movies or cheesy sitcoms) that I guess are supposed to be seen as "quirky." Much of the dialogue is stilted and lame, as in, real-people-don't-talk-this-way lame. Carla Cugino's character does a "Cabaret"-like song-and-dance bit that comes out of nowhere and while it's kinda cute-sexy, Carla G doesn't really sing well and it adds nothing to the movie overall. It's worth seeing if you're a Gugino fan, but this is a mediocre movie, basically Pedro Almodovar Lite (and while I like some of his films, I think he's a tad overrated). Watch an old Woody Allen movie instead ("Love and Death," "Play It Again, Sam").; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Addiction, The VHS; Brand: Lili Taylor; Review: A friend of mine referred to/gave a summation of director Abel Ferrarra thus: "Tarrantino without the humor." In the case of "Addiction," he is mos def on-the-money. It's an interesting concept for a movie - vampirism-as-an-addiction - but what brings it crashing down is a lot of blame-the-victim-type "philosophy", i.e., "If you REALLY don't want me to bite you & drink your blood, you should just say so in a straightforward manner! NEVER MIND that I'm CRUSHING YOUR HAND with my undead strength & scaring the living daylights (no pun intended) outta you - I have to have some b******t rationale for what I'm doing, just like any criminal or psychopath, so I don't have to feel bad about it later." Also the pacing is REALLY slow & much of the dialogue is right out of a freshman philosophy class study-group: "We aren't evil because we do evil - we do evil because we ARE evil." Wow, DEEP! Nothing like knee-high nihilism and ivory-tower blather, huh? I'm sure Ted Bundy and Joe Stalin had some cheesy "philosophy" to help them "justify" their monstrous behavior, too...not to mention Ayn Rand. Chris Walken shows up briefly to babble and look a lot like Shemp Howard. If you're into the vampire mythos, you'd be better off renting DVD's of "True Blood" or "Forever Knight" or, for a genuinely funny version of the Dracula tale, the movie "Love at First Bite." Otherwise, "The Addiction" is for Lili Taylor fans only.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Bad Teacher; Brand: Jason Segel; Review: To all Movie Producers and Screenwriters: If you're going to present one or more unlikable central characters in a movie, TRY to make them INTERESTING in some manner, alright? Goodfellas' Henry Hill is a more winning character than the skank Cameron Diaz portrays here! At least make her a likable rogue like Sgt. Bilko or self-absorbed but spunky and oblivious like Jenna from 30 Rock! Cameron Diaz is Elizabeth Halsey, who is such a manipulative, superficial, crass, insensitive, thieving, bong-sucking, gold-digging sociopath that Lindsay Lohan would be embarrassed to be seen with her. The principal and her fellow teachers are a motley collection of stereotypical nerds, dweebs, and Dudley Dorights right out of central casting. So, compared to this panorama of Mayberry expatriates, and recognizing the social Darwinism of the audience, we're supposed to "root for" Halsey because she's...well, because she's played by Cameron Diaz! In school she calls an overweight boy "Chubs" before she lands a basketball (could've been a volleyball, though) in his face for getting a question wrong. Later on, Halsey gets invited to a student's family's home for Christmas dinner, after which (like a true sociopath "responding" to someone's kindness) she steals a glass figurine from their fireplace's mantle. Our heroine! This might be defensible--the characters in The Usual Suspects were a lot worse (weren't they?)--provided this movie was at all FUNNY. If you're a mean-spirited middle-schooler that's discovered the dubious glories of foul language and want to see a once-hot-looking-but-it's-fading actress play a shallow creep, you'll have the time of your life. But we can't have a "bad" character be the star of the story, can we? Especially if she's a teacher, right? We have to see some change of heart, and...she shows concern for her students! But that's not only far-fetched (after the personality we've seen), but utterly PHONY. It'd be more plausible for Vincent Price as Dr. Phibes saying at the end of one of his kill-the-British-actors-one-by-one movies, "Maybe gruesomely murdering people I don't like isn't the way to go--perhaps I'll volunteer my services at a hospital burn unit."; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: St Trinian's; Brand: ; Review: Imagine a British all-girls' school filled with misfits & high-jinx a la ANIMAL HOUSE but populated by mostly A and B list British actors...well, imagine no longer! It's here! While it IS decent enough, this movie doesn't quite have enough of the over-the-top aspects to raise it from "amusing" to "hilarious." Some of the jokes are on the line between "wickedly funny" and "just plain mean," often leaning towards the latter. [Some of the girls make their own vodka. When they are told that one person's death was attributed to it, their reaction was akin to "So what?" It was kind of hard to "root for" them after that.] Most of the characters are either stereotypes or not "evolved" enough to really "care about" them...going down the list: Hot but vacuous/shallow blonde gal, check; cute but really smart 'n' devious twin tweener-girls (think Wednesday Addams times 2), check; goth girl, check; uptight Brit in position of authority, check; plain-Jane new-girl-in-school that turns into "hot girl," check; slovenly sleazeball (Russell Brand, of course...like he'd play anything else), and so on. Film fans can play "spot the references to other movies": THE FLY, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, APOLLO 13, several others. It's worth a rental, basically.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Colombiana; Brand: Jordi Moll; Review: The scoop: In Columbia, a family man is looking to get out of the drug business for reasons unclear. Of course, his boss says, "Sure, pal o' mine, just don't tell the drug police about me, ha ha!" Of course, anyone that's seen many crime movies -- including these characters -- knows that "the only way out is feet first, got that?" A hit squad is dispatched to eliminate the guy and his family. The parents know the hit squad is en route--in fact, they spot them outside!--yet make NO effort to hide their 11-year-old daughter Cataleya as they approach. (Perhaps the real reason this couple was marked for death is because this drug kingpin realized this couple has crappy parenting skills.) Husband and wife are shot multiple times in front of the child. Faster than you can say "Bruce Wayne," she vows then & there to avenge her parents' murder and escapes. But Bruce Wayne trained for years and years in almost every physical discipline imaginable before he became Batman, THIS little girl has the moves of Daredevil and Angelina Jolie's Ms. Salt at the age of eleven, jumping from rooftop to rooftop to street, evading a crew of what must be between four and eight fully grown, heavily armed, presumably professional hitmen. (Cripes, what did they feed this kid?!?) We even see this child move a MANHOLE COVER like it's a pizza! (Gad, those things are heavy, really!) Then, from an unlikely confluence of events, Cataleya -- who is so special she reads Xena comic books YEARS before the hit TV show makes the airwaves, according to the film's timeline -- makes her way from Columbia to Miami to Chicago (most bus companies will let a pre-teen girl buy a ticket sans adult supervision), where she hooks up with her gangster uncle. Uncle Thug, like all concerned relatives, honors his niece's burning desire to be trained as an assassin, provided she attends school regularly and kills the Kardashian sisters after turning 21. (OK, I made-up that last bit.) That was the prologue -- cut to the present, where the child has grown up to be Zoe Saldana. Ms. Saldana is indeed lovely, but let's be vaguely semi-real here. She looks like she weighs 94 pounds! She kicks an enormous amount of big-guy hiney and wields weapons that are almost as big as she is! Cagefighter-turned-actress Gina Carano, star of the recent Haywire, is a truly muscular lady -- you can believe that she can clean any guy's clock, punch his ticket, fix his wagon, and rotate his tires. Saldana looks like a stick figure...a very pretty stick figure I'll admit, but a stick figure nonetheless. Steve Buscemi could take her in a fight, and Buffy the V-Slayer could have her for breakfast. (I wouldn't bet the rent, but I think a MALE stunt-double was used in one fight scene). But wait, it gets better. [spoiler] I know this is an action film, not a documentary, but Starsky & Hutch feels more "real" than this movie. Early on, Cataleya gets herself; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Bazoongi 48" Bouncer Trampoline with Handle Bar; Brand: Bazoongi; Review: This trampoline is solidly built, but the manufacturer could do a better job making sure the parts can be joined without the users going through extra hoops beyond anything described in the manual. Most of the assembly consists of fitting the legs' T-connector into the rim parts. I had to heat up one of them in order to have it fit into the rim part, and had to use a hammer to push it all the way in. Once that was done, the rest was assembled quickly. Once assembled, it "bazoongs" just fine.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Princess Bride (Fox): S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure; Author: Visit Amazon's William Goldman Page; Review: If you liked the movie, you'll love the book. Yes, this is an abridgment of the original story and that's fine. The explanation of why is included in the excellent commentary by Mr. Goldman. Think of them as the scenes from the movie between the Grandfather and grandson. Expect differences between the movie and the book (of course) and enjoy the extra details. You'll not be disappointed. There are also some interesting tangents to the author's life, his family, the involvement with the production of the movie that are almost as good as the story itself. Definitely worth the read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The 14th Reinstated; Author: Visit Amazon's Bryce M. Towsley Page; Review: The premise of the story is good--if a bit scary given the way things are currently in this country--and does bear out the seriousness of the current political situation as well as providing an interesting backdrop for the story. The action is well-thought out and the details of them, likewise, show the first-hand knowledge of the author. Gun nuts rejoice, you'll find very little to nit-pick here. My only--albeit minor--complaint is that the dialog is seemingly too grammatically correct so that it doesn't "feel" natural. Other than that, it's a great story with an all-too-close-to-home portent of a possible future to come.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Into the Black (Odyssey Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Evan Currie Page; Review: A very good start to a series that, of course, I'll recommend you finish (as I am currently doing). The attractive (cheap) price was a definite incentive to try the series and I have not been disappointed. Call it a combination military science-fiction and space opera (without the yodeling or ridiculous costumes) with semi-accurate attention to details regarding the physics of space travel and theoretical space battles. It is refreshing to read and enjoy a story with acknowledgement that there is no sound in space (sorry, no pew-pew-pew sounds) and that the speed of light really isn't that fast given the vast distances involved. The characters are developed through the course of the story (and continued in the later stories) and the pacing is good with a mix of action, "down-time" (character development, plot progression, etc.), and even some humor. Give it a try!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Forge a New Blade (The Laredo War) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Grant Page; Review: A well-written middle entry in a compelling military sci-fi setting. While not as "military" as the first entry, it is compelling in its own right because to me, it makes sense. Not all warfare--especially wars of liberation--are all "fight scenes and excitement." These are well-handled, "felt" right, and are anything but boring. Mr. Grant handles them well and keeps them interesting. The characters are also developed more from the previous book and not just with backstory (although some of that too). Caring about them is now a part of my desire to "find out what happens next." I am looking forward to the conclusion of the trilogy and hopefully future entries that include these characters and events. Keep up the good work!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fields of Fire (Frontlines); Author: Visit Amazon's Marko Kloos Page; Review: Great story for fans of military sci-fi. Looking forward to the next one!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Brings the Lightning (The Ames Archives Book 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Grant Page; Review: Great beginning to a western story. While unique in its own right, it reminded me of the westerns my grandfather and I would watch when I was a kid. Excellent!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Forged in Blood (Freehold); Author: Michael Z. Williamson; Review: An excellent addition to the Freehold universe! The multiple authors each provided their own take on the setting and were well-integrated into a whole. The over-arching story provides background on pivotal characters and it was nice to see the origin of one and continuation of both.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Darkship Renegades; Author: Visit Amazon's Sarah A. Hoyt Page; Review: An excellent sequel to Darkship Thieves! Things get too interesting for "our heroes" and they rise to the occasion with a hard-to-put-down-and-stop-reading-when-I-need-to-sleep story. Well-played, well-played.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Meridian Ascent (Rho Agenda Assimilation); Author: Visit Amazon's Richard Phillips Page; Review: A well-thought out and pleasantly fulfilling installment to the Rho Agenda trilogy. Mr. Phillips does a great job of wrapping up some plot-lines from the current and previous trilogies while still planting some seeds for additional installments in the future. Looking forward to more!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Be Live Experience Varadero; City: Varadero Matanzas Province Cuba; Review: We were 2 couples between the ages of 26-30 travelling together from Toronto, October 28-Nov.4. This was our first real vacation and had an amazing time. I had done a ton of research on this site before going and we went with very low expectations but when we got there were were very happy. We definately got what we paid for (we paid $1300.00 taxes included for the 2 of us all inclusive for the week). I will try and give as much detail based on our experience (it may be a long review): The Hotel (should be rated as 3 stars not 4): It is still undergoing renovations so the one side of the hotel was closed off as was the main lobby/reception (which is in one of the villas temporarily) however this did not affect our stay at all. The hotel decor is very dated and there are many many stairs here. 90% of the time the elevators were not working and we had to take the stairs (which was fine with us but by the end of the week our legs were feeling it). Our room had an awesome view of the ocean and the pool. Our room was always clean, did not smell and there were no bugs (however we did see some very large cockroaches outside around the hotel on occasion). It is also all open concept so when it rains there are puddles everywhere and can be very slippery. The Staff (definately 5 stars): The staff are what made our stay so enjoyable. From the people at the reception, the bellman (Lazarous) the servers at the buffet, to the animacion team. You have to meet Eddie & Javier from the animacion team, they hung out with us the whole week and we had so much fun with them. They were all amazing, these people work so hard for such long hours for so little pay. We tipped quite a bit even though no one expected to be tipped. The Entertainment (3.5 stars): The entertainment was okay, nothing really great except for their house band that played on Thursday night. These guys were so talented. During the day the animacion team tries to get people around the pool/ pool bar to particpate in either mini golf, volleyball, dancing lessons, bingo or gymnastics. At night after the nightly show if you wish to go and party off the resort just go with the guys from the animacion team, they take you to the club where people from all the other resorts are taken to. We went to the Cave one night and to Hotel International another night, both were alot of fun however you have to pay 10 pesos each to get into these places and pay for your drinks (2 pesos each). The Food (3.5 stars): This is where we were the most surprised. Yes, it did get very repetitive near the end of the week but all the food was good, bland but good. There was only one al la carte restaurant open, La Mariposa. Skip; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Starfish Jolly Beach Resort; City: Bolans Saint Mary s Antigua Antigua and Barbuda; Review: My husband and I ages 27 & 30 just returned from Jolly Beach Resort. We stayed from May 10-17. I really like when other reviewers give as much detail as possible so I will give as much detail for you based on our experience. Arrival - We arrived at the airport around 1:45 in the afternoon. There were 2 other planes that had also just landed which made for a very long line up at immigration. It took just over an hour to get through the line. After getting through with no problems we set off to find our luggage. There are no signs above the luggage carousels to indicate where the luggage has come from, lucky for me I randomly picked one of them and our luggage was right there. We then went to the desk with all the tour operators and were greeted by our tour operator, we had to wait for one other couple that was also coming to Jolly Beach before we got a taxi. (Note: if you book your vacation with Air Canada your transfers to and from the aiport are included as is your departure tax). The ride to the resort is about 20-30 minutes. Arrival at the resort - Once we got to the resort (about 3:30) our bags were unloaded and check in was quick and easy. A porter came and carried our bags to our room (as previous reviews have stated there are no elevators). We were in the Barthlemy block in room 3320. We had a great view of the grounds, large pool and the sea. After doing plenty of research and reading as many reviews as we could, we were prepared for the small, basic and outdated accomodation (we were in a standard room). However, what I was not prepared for was the bathroom. It wasn't horrible but all it had for a door was a sliding slated door which gave very little privacy while in the bathroom and it also had a weird window. It was basically a design carved out of the concrete with a screen bolted over it (see attached pictures). No one would be able to see in or anything but again it provided very little privacy. You could hear the people a few rooms down flushing the toilet, taking a shower or blow drying their hair. All not a problem for us as we were not in our room a whole lot. After settling in we went to explore the resort. Beach - Fantastic! Amazing colored water & sand. As all the beaches are public the locals are allowed onto the beach. There are vendors that come around (we noticed that they mostly came around in the morning) and will try to sell you coconuts, aloe, jewelry, horseback riding, etc. We found the ones trying to sell aloe were the most persistant, for the most part a simple no thank you was all you needed to say and they would move on. The watersports were great, you can get a kayak, peddle boat, hobbie cat or; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Haode Wanyuan Hotel; City: Shanghai; Review: I stay here whenever I come to Shanghai. It is close to our company's Shanghai office. The employees at the front desk can speak English (minimal though). The rooms are spacious and clean with a mini fridge that has water/coke/juice. The restaurant on the second floor serves breakfast with some westernized items. Although I thought that the french fries were a little weird for breakfast! They have a really nice selection of fruit, I made the mistake of loading up on it only to find out that it tasted salty (not sure why). They also have 4 or 5 English channels on their tv's which is nice. I would definitely recommend this hotel. The only thing I don't like is that most taxi drivers are not familiar with it so make sure you have the address in Chinese.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Eton Hotel Shanghai; City: Shanghai; Review: I travel to Shanghai for work about 7-8 times a year. I usually stay at The Barony which is just down the road from The Eton. I got a really great rate at The Eton and was able to stay here this trip...what a difference between the 2 hotels! The room was great, the gym and pool were great. The spa was a little on the pricey side but I always go to the DragonFly Spa just a 10 minute walk from here on ChangYi rd. I ordered room service a couple of times...it was good. The breakfast was great, lot's to choose from. The only thing that I didn't like was that they apply a 15% surcharge to everything here. Other than that, no complaints. Whenever I go back to Shanghai I will be staying at The Eton from now on.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: New Century Grand Hotel Ningbo; City: Ningbo Zhejiang; Review: This hotel is a great place to stay. Very good value for your money. Like a previous poster mentioned, the only drawback is the location. It is kind of in the middle of no where. Though when I was there in Dec. it wasn't from from Wanda Plaza which has some decent restaurants and a Starbucks (I love Starbucks). There is a good selection at breakfast, there is Western food. Had the buffet dinner one night, it was ok. Mostly Chinese food. I will be returning and staying here for a week in March.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn; City: Bourne Cape Cod Massachusetts; Review: Stayed at this hotel for one night while on a business trip. It was very easy to find, check in was easy and the clerk was friendly. Hotel was a little dated but clean. Rooms had free wi-fi, a mini fridge and coffee maker. The hotel has a tavern adjoined to it. Went there for some drinks and to watch the hockey game. The drinks and service were good but we ended up ordering some nachos which were not appetizing to look at, most of the chips were burned black and the cheese not melted. Unfortunately, they tasted as bad as they looked. The complimentary breakfast was sufficient enough, a selection of pastries, muffins, fruit, yogurt, toast, bagels and waffles. I would stay here again if it was only for a night or two.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Grand Oasis Cancun; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Stayed here with family for Christmas (Dec.22 - Dec.29). We were delayed leaving Toronto so we didn't arrive at the resort until after 1am. When the bus dropped us off it was dark in front of the resort and no one was there to help anyone with their bags. Everyone had to lug their suitcases and bags up a number of stairs. There were only 2 people working at the check in and it was brutally slow, not ideal when you have a 2 year old. When finally checked in they told us where our room was and again, no one to help us find the room or help us with our bags. We had a room on the first floor in the main "pyramid" building. Luckily our room was easy to find. There are 4 other surrounding buildings in addition to the main building and the resort is fairly large. It took us a day or two to figure out where everything was. The room was spacious enough and clean. The bathroom is in need of some updating as the fixtures are old and rusted. You have to pay $5 USD per day to use the safe. There is a large flat screen tv with plenty of English channels. There is also an ipod docking station on the nightstand with a clock on it. There are mini fridges that only include water, soda and beer, anything else (Red Bull, Gatorade, chips or chocolate) is an extra charge. The room was cleaned well each day and our water and soda restocked. We had orange wristbands which granted us access to all bars and restaurants and we were also given an Oasis coupon book upon check in that had credits you could use towards the cost of the safe, internet time, spa treatments, wine, etc. I used the internet in my room and it worked great though you have to pay $5 USD for one hour. We tried most of the restaurants except for the a la cartes. We were not going to wait in line to book these. However, my brother in law did book us at Sarape for Christmas dinner and he waited just over an our to do so only to find out when we all sat down at the restaurant that they had a preset menu of seafood and fish which none of us eat so unfortunately a waste of time for him. We usually went to Market Place for breakfast and a couple times for lunch, there was always a line up to get in and the service here was awful. It would take forever for someone to come take your drink order, if they even did. Most mornings we had to go and ask for coffee. Once at lunch I was by myself with my 2 year old daughter and I asked for a Sprite and the server came back with a glass of beer and some mixed drink? All in all, there was enough of a selection there, something for everyone. Bahia Rodizzo, the steak place; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Great Wolf Lodge; City: Niagara Falls Ontario; Review: We stayed the nights of March 4th & 5th with our 2.5 year old daughter along with 2 other couples and their kids the same age. We booked while they were having a "48 hour special", the room rates were a way better price than the regular rate. We paid $159.99 per night as opposed to $249.99. We also booked on weekdays as it was cheaper and we thought it would be less busy. We were actually surprised at how busy it was when we got there. We arrived just after 1pm. You can check in, they will give you your wristbands which are your room keys and you can also charge everything back to your room using them. If your room is ready they will give it to you early, otherwise they will text you once it's ready. The check in line was long and the lobby was packed. I waited about 25 minutes to check in. When checking in, they advised us of food vouchers that can be purchased. It was $45 per person for buffet breakfast, lunch at Spirit Island (burger, fries, hot dogs, etc) or a slice of pizza or a sandwich from the cafe and dinner at the buffet. As our daughter is under 3, she ate free at the buffet. We purchased one day of vouchers but after adding up the actual cost of the meals, there really wasn't any savings. The breakfast buffet is $15.99 per person and the dinner buffet is $21.99 per person and our lunch would have cost $19.99 if we didn't have the voucher. I had read previous reviews of people bringing their own food or going out or ordering take out. We didn't do this, we ate at the buffet and found it was good enough however we did bring our own snacks and drinks for the room and water park. I can understand families with 2 or more children over 4 years old doing this as it would cost a fortune just on food alone. Our room was ready at 2:45. We were impressed at the size of the room. It was spacious and comfortable. The only thing we didn't like which a lot of others have said is that the vanity/sink is not actually in the bathroom, instead is part of the room. It was nice to have the fridge and microwave in the room. It is true what others say about the heating unit...it is so loud. When it would come on, you couldn't hear the tv and sometimes woke me during the night. We were on the main floor and found it was quiet, didn't hear any kids running up and down the halls. I read a recent review that someone mentioned about bed bugs. As we have actually had a prior issue with bed bugs in our own home, I know what bed bug bites look like.

Title: Great Wolf Lodge; City: Niagara Falls Ontario; Review: We are making a new tradition and visiting Great Wolf Lodge every year with our daughter and our friends (2 other couples and their kids). We went last year around the same time and this year was just as busy. It's busy but the hotel is so big that it is manageable and doesn't feel too crowded. However all the tables and chairs do get taken up quite quickly inside the water park unless you are there right when the water park opens. We waited until we got special booking rates via email from Great Wolf Lodge and then booked. We booked the standard family suite for 2 nights which was $149.99 per night and when we checked in we were given $100 voucher which could be used towards any meal, in the gift shop or in the spa! What an awesome surprise! Only downside when we checked in was that we were on the 4th floor and our friends were in rooms right next to each other on the 1st floor. We had all booked together and had specifically requested to be close to each other. Oh well, not a big deal as our room was ready when we checked in and we were only using the room to sleep in anyway. We purchased the meal plan (our daughter is 3 so she ate for free at the buffet), it was $47 per person and included breakfast at the buffet, lunch at the pizza place or the snack place inside the water park and dinner at the buffet. We used the voucher on the food package. So essentially didn't really pay anything for the food. We thought the food at the buffet was good. The Mango Mammoth drink is SOOOO good! This year our daughter definitely was more into all the activities. She really wanted the wand for the Magiquest game since she saw all the other kids running around and activating the treasure chests and tv's with their wands. So we bought one for her and she was SO happy, it was actually kind of fun even for us adults. Water park is good, life guards very attentive and I love the Wooly Mammoth water slide. Its a family ride for up to 4 people and you can even bring your little ones on too! Us girls tried to book the spa but it was completely booked so if you plan on using the spa, book ahead. This year they had bowling right next to the arcade. The kids had a blast bowling! Everything about this place was great, great service, great for kids, we had no complaints. 2 nights is definitely more than enough at this place though. We'll be back again next year but we will try booking in May as we were told that is their slower time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Great Wolf Lodge; City: Niagara Falls Ontario; Review: This was our 4th time here. We have come once a year for the past 3 years. Normally we go in March but this year we wanted to try it in warmer weather so we could also make use of the outdoor pool and the mini golf. In March, it is packed and very busy. I was surprised at how quiet it was this time, there were so many empty tables and chairs inside and outside (when we come in March, an empty table is a rare find). This was perfect as there were no long lines for anything, including the water slides which normally have line ups coming down the stairs. We arrived right around 1 pm and check in was super fast. The lobby was empty when we came in which we were not used to. In the past we have waited up to 30 mins just to check in. We booked through a promotion through my daughter’s school and paid $149.99 per night for the room. In the 4 times we have stayed here, I have never paid more than that for a room here (always book when there is a deal). We are fine with booking the standard room as we hardly spend time there except to sleep. We stayed 2 nights and 3 days which is more than enough time here. Our room wasn’t ready when we checked in but we were prepared for this and had brought our swim suits in so we could head to the water park until it was. At around 2:45 we got the text message that our room was ready. They had put us on the first floor all the way at the end of the hallway right next to the exit. It was perfect for unloading our stuff from our car as we were able to park right next to the doors however the room was an accessible room which we didn’t need or request. It only had 1 queen bed, a pull out sofa and only a shower. Not a big deal but weird they put us in an accessible room. The first night for dinner we ordered a large pizza from Northwoods Pizza for $20 and ate it in the room. You can order it for delivery or pick up, only difference is time. Delivery was about 30 mins but pick up was only 15 mins. The pizza was surprisingly good. We purchased the meal plan/vouchers for 1 day for the 3 us of which cost $140.00. That included breakfast at the buffet, lunch (you have 3 choices for lunch) and dinner at the buffet. Breakfast was good, lunch was ok but dinner was disappointing. Usually we look forward to dinner in the buffet but this year it wasn’t as good as past years. I guess it started off with the rude hostess. She seated us in a booth, the waitress came over and took our drink order and then we all went up to get our food. Upon return she had just seated another family at our; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Catalonia Playa Maroma; City: Playa Maroma Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We stayed the week of May 13-20. We arrived just after 5:30 pm in a van with 4 other couples. CHECK IN/RECEPTION The reception area is a large open area with a lobby bar on one side near the discotech. They also have washrooms, money exchange and an atm and the buffet restaurant is here. Check in was quick and easy and took all of 10 minutes. The clerk at the front desk was friendly and explained everything to us. You get 1 beach towel card per person when you check in. We were given our room keys and a map of the resort and were told to let the bellman know our room number so he could bring our bags to us. When checking in, beware of the time share people (Maravillosa) as they are standing directly behind you (or anyone) when checking in. My husband turned around before I did and the guy already had him and said he was the “concierge”. I said no thank you but he was very aggressive and then got upset when we said we just wanted to go to our room and get settled. The hotel should not allow these people to stand there doing this. ROOM We were given a Privilege room in building B. This block of rooms is closest to the lobby, buffet and theater but furthest from the pool, beach and restaurants. The room was very nice and looked new. The safe was included with the room, no extra charge. There was also a mini fridge which was restocked daily, an iron and ironing board, slippers, robes and an umbrella. The tv was newer and had plenty of channels, most in Spanish with a few English. The a/c worked fine the entire time, no issues with anything in the room except when we first arrived there was a teeny tiny lizard in the corner, almost on the ceiling. When the bellman arrived with our luggage a few minutes after we got to the room, we told him and he said he would send someone. We were hungry and just wanted to go and eat so my husband and I caught it in one of the large vases in the room and put it outside. Not a big deal. If you have small children who go to bed early or you don’t like noise around 9:30pm then I suggest to get a room closer to the pool because you can hear the nightly shows no problem in your room every night. Our room was cleaned mid-morning every day and our maid did a great job leaving towel art or flowers on our bed which my daughter loved. They also do turn down service just before dinner and one night my daughter left her ipad out on the bed so they left a note that they couldn’t do the service that night because there was an electronic device left out…very honest and much appreciated. FOOD Food was okay, nothing special. There was plenty of selection and could always find many things to; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Eton Hotel Shanghai; City: Shanghai; Review: I have stayed at this hotel many times in the past while on business trips and have always had a pleasant stay. The room itself was fine, no complaints. I ordered room service one night and it was brought up quickly. I also used the gym, it is well equipped for a hotel gym and you can get a decent workout in. This was the first time I didn't have a good experience staying here mainly because of the concierge in the lobby, Apparently a taxi will not take you somewhere that is close by. If your destination isn't far away enough, it is almost impossible to get a taxi. I normally like to walk to our office however it was raining one morning so I asked the concierge for a taxi. In the past when I have stayed here, this was never a problem. When I told the concierge where I was going, he said "no, a taxi will not take you, it's too close". He then told me I needed a private car and that he could call one but it would be much more expensive than a taxi. I had taken a taxi from the office to the hotel the previous night and knew that it only cost 16 rmb however the concierge told me the private car would cost around 200-300 rmb. Not only that, I had to pay the concierge directly, not the driver, so he can just make up a price and you have to pay it? I asked him to call one but he never did, 20 minutes later I was still waiting and decided to give up and just walk. The following day was raining and I had my suitcase so I asked the same concierge for a taxi but was told the same thing again. Forget it. Instead of waiting, I was able to have my Chinese coworkers call and have a car come to the hotel to pick me up all of which took 15 minutes. The taxi situation at this hotel is frustrating and the concierge are of no help. There was also major construction going on outside the hotel during my stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: SanGria Resort Spa; City: Lembang West Java Java; Review: We stayed here for two nights, checking out on a Monday (Hari Raya Korban itself). My partner and I wanted were looking for a relaxing weekend break, which is often hard to find around Jakarta or Bandung. The other options considered were Jadul Village and Javana Spa. We settled on Sangria as it appeared to give best value, had consistent ratings and had a more convenient location. The location of the resort is good, overlooking a lush green valley. The weather when we were here was pleasantly cool - cool enough to be comfortable, not cold enough to need additional clothing. The resort is walking distance to Lembang's main attractions - the Tofu factory (and its associated eateries), strawberry farm and also the many restaurants, stalls and supermarkets along the main road. Was very convenient for us to just walk out and sample the local delights or get without needing any further transportation. As it was quite fully booked for a wedding, we could only get the Deluxe room, which didn't have a fan or air conditioning - when we were there, we didn't need it as the temperature was ideal. Our room was pretty standard, the bathroom in particular could perhaps do with an upgrade, but it had a balcony. Anyway, it was clean and quite comfortable for us. Perhaps the higher end rooms (with fan and/or air conditioning) would have been slightly better. The resort itself isn't the sort of sprawling resort where the rooms/chalets are spread out across a wide area. All the rooms are in one block, which is connected via a walkway to the lobby and restaurant (there is only one restaurant). There is then a long flight of stairs leading down to the spa, and further down to the garden, pool and other facilities. Word of caution - these stairs will be problematic for older folk, and young children must be supervised when going up or down. But for the both of us, it was fine as we didn't mind the exercise and the stairs was a unique feature of the resort and added character. Felt like you were walking down the hillslopes to the base of a private valley. The landscaped garden is very well done, with fishponds, a stone paved trail and a waterfall (man made). It was very peaceful and made you feel like you were in your own little oasis. The big pond is full of carp, and fish food is provided for guests to indulge in feeding the fish - which my partner enjoyed tremendously (while I in turn enjoyed my moments of 'zen'). It is a resort and spa, so spa packages are of course something to try. We tried a couples package, which included an aromatherapy massage, facial, body scrub and a milk bath. The couples spa is carried out in a standalone hut midway down the stairs. Our spa experience was very enjoyable overall - attentive and skillful service, and a good package overall. Only comment is that as the hut is a standalone midway down the stairs,; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Klana Resort Seremban; City: Seremban Seremban District Negeri Sembilan; Review: Booked two rooms - one for parents and one for myself, wife and baby. This is an old resort, where the room size is very spacious with a balcony (unnecessarily spacious, as large spaces always add to maintenance liability - newer ones tend to adopt the "less is more" philosophy). Room was tired and had musky smell. Bathroom in particular showed its age. Rooms really need an upgrade. The upside is that the resort has spacious grounds with a few pools and water features for children. There is even an elaborate weir/waterfall water circulation system - harking back to the days when architects could just implement their dreams with little care for practicality. Breakfast is below par compared to most other hotels that offer buffet breakfast. Price is affordable though. Much cheaper than Royale Bintang, which was our other consideration. For families with kids who aren't too particular about the age of the rooms (it's old, but it's clean), then it could offer a simple budget/value resort to stay in - with large grounds and pools for the kids to play in.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ara Hotel Gading Serpong; City: Tangerang Banten Province Java; Review: Tried a 2 night stay with wife and baby (wife's family stays in the vicinity). The overall experience was pleasant enough. The room is clean, and it's very spacious by hotel standards - I guess one of its value propositions. The mattress in the room was bit uncomfortable though - could really feel the springs and every movement. The hotel is still quite new, and a lot of the blocks are unoccupied. But as it is, the pool area & breakfast cafe can be very crowded during peak times. Not sure how the facilities will cope, or how the hotel will age - when all the blocks (including what I believe will be serviced apartments) are fully utilised. For the similar price range, I prefer the quieter, more modern & clinical environment of the Ibis Gading Serpong just around the corner (albeit with less facilities & smaller room).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Twenty Nevern Square; City: London England; Review: Made a fairly last minute booking, and randomly stumbled onto this place. Have stayed at the Mayflower Earl's Court and the New Linden hotel in Bayswater before - they have a similar feel to it (Twenty Nevern Square being more spacious and luxurious) and speculated that they might be under the same owner/management. Got a basement room, one that was beside a courtyard. Bit of a walk, but we found it pleasant enough. The deco is a bit traditional, but nice enough. The bathroom was really bright and spacious - one of the best features in the room. The service we received was pleasant enough.The dining hall was bright and airy, with a good selection. Overall the hotel has a very cosy and elegant feel to it. So far, one of the best boutique hotels I've stayed in around the Bayswater & Earl's Court areas. It's located very close to Earl's Court station as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Somerset Puteri Harbour Iskandar Puteri; City: Johor Bahru Johor Bahru District Johor; Review: Good points: Very spacious, clean room. Complete kitchen facilities. Nice bathroom & toiletries. Proximity to marina & shops. Baby cot provided at no add charge upon request. Areas for improvement: Reception is a little slow - the setup could be a bit more professional or better resourced. Front desk has a boutique hotel feel to it. Later than expected check in as one of our rooms not ready (standard check in time is already quite late at 3pm). The place is still new, but expect it will need good maintenance if it is to stand the test of time. Overall good experience and would stay again here if I was looking for a serviced residence in the area. If I was looking for a hotel I would be tempted to try Jen beside it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Royale Chulan Cherating; City: Cherating Kuantan District Pahang; Review: Overall, very enjoyable stay. We went in a relative off-season (Sunday to Tuesday). Picturesque resort, nestled on the slopes leading down to the corner of a secluded beach. Nice, clean beach - gentle slopes, good for playing in the sand and strolling (not so good for swimming as hard to find deeper water). Spacious, clean and comfortable suite with wonderful views. Friendly service. Although selection not large, the food is cooked well and refined (fresh fruit selection can be improved - only had watermelon/rock melon). Quite ideal for families, though need to be able to walk up/down some steps, especially if staying in the villas which are higher up the hill (buggy service available - but last stretch down to the restaurant, swimming pool and beach - still needs one or two flights of stairs). Not an issue for my 2 year old. Some excursions to see fireflies and turtles (April to September) can be arranged via the resort.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hotel du Parc; City: Montpellier Herault Occitanie; Review: We stayed in Hotel du Parc in April and found it delightful. We stayed for one night and returned later in the week for three nights. Each of our rooms was different but charming, clean, and had everything we needed. The bathroom in the first room was tiny but our room on the ground floor (Room 2 I think) had a modern spacious bathroom. Staff provided corkscrews, cutlery, whatever we needed. We were given good directions for anywhere we wanted to go, including recommendations on where to eat and how to get to the riverside trail to run. We eat a light breakfast and chose not to eat at the hotel. There is a lovely cafe quite close to the hotel where we fetched coffee and pastries, and which also sold light lunch fare to take out. It's easy to get to major tourist destinations from here either by walking or by the excellent transit system. Reasonably priced and good value - I'd recommend this hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: B aparthotel Grand Place; City: Brussels; Review: We had a suite in b-Aparthotel. It was a really large room, with a good sized bathroom, full closet, and a coffee maker, kettle, microwave and dishes. The room was modern and clean, with a couch/sitting area. However the entry area was a bit shabby, and the halls were scruffy - horrible carpet/ The halls also had a weird odour - not unpleasant, but strong. Something like cloves perhaps? This hotel doesn't have a front desk - it is self serve, so maybe better for business travellers than tourists, as there is no one to give advice and directions. That said, we arrived early; I had asked ahead of time, and as directed, phoned the main office and someone came to give us our room key within 10 minutes.

The hotel is an easy walk to the airport (10 minutes) and to a mall across the highway, where there are some suitable restaurants. Walls seemed thin, but we were put in a section where we would not disturb anyone with our early rising, and suspect all the guests were in the same situation, because things quieted down early and we had a good sleep.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Le Relais Lyonnais; City: Montreal Quebec; Review: We stayed two nights at Le Relais Lyonnais in early July 2017. It had been recommended to us and we loved it. Great for couples, it's situated on rue St. Denis, in an area with great brew pubs, and an easy walk to Old Montreal. There are modern furnishings in a older building, with comfy beds and linens. Continental breakfast is delivered outside your door every morning, and you have a very good coffee maker and fridge with real milk and cream. All you need to start your day. Management is very friendly. We lucked in to an upgrade, with a terrace, which was a plus, but we saw a couple of the regular rooms and they are fine, very nice bathrooms with great soaps and gels. The 747 shuttle bus from the airport stops quite close by and costs $10.00 - definitely an option if you are flying, but there is also parking available - not sure of the cost. Highly recommended for couples. Would stay there again for sure.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tonquin Inn; City: Jasper Jasper National Park Alberta; Review: Tonquin Inn is a comfortable hotel a few blocks from the centre of Jasper. The property had all we needed, including fluffy towels and clean comfortable beds. The lighting and decor are dark, but with very good task and bathroom lighting. Parts of the property are looking run down - tile in the bathroom, for example, and the carpeting outside our room was positively filthy. There was a lifesaver candy on the stairwell the whole two days we were there. The fitness centre and pool are not large but the fitness centre seems to have one of everything you would usually want. There was a mixup with the cleaning of our room that we felt was not well handled, particularly by the evening staff (in short, we hung out the do not disturb sign until late morning, and our room wasn't made up. When we brought it to the attention of the front desk clerk, towels etc were sent promptly but my husband was told we must have left the sign out all day - wrong response. When we asked for clean cups the reply was, can't you wash out your dirty ones?). We were offered multiple apologies when we complained again in the morning, but no compensation other than late checkout. That said, this property is reasonably priced for this very expensive touristy area, and certainly comfortable.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

But the real reason to buy this recording is for the couplings--which are far better than the rest. The Cuban Overture absolutely ROCKS. Everybody gives you "American in Paris" with the Rhapsody, but, come on, Porgy & Bess AND the Cuban Overture vs. Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite or the Piano Concerto in C? No contest!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mozart: Piano Concertos 20 & 25; Brand: Wolfgang Mozart; Review: Murray Perahia is awesome and Barenboim has his shining moments, but she is always my first choice for Mozart's piano concertos. It's a shame that her recordings are going out-of-print. Grab them while you can! #20 is my favorite of all of Mozart's Piano Concertos.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Franck: Symphony in D Minor / Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 5 Reformation; Brand: Cesar Franck; Review: This is certainly not a BAD recording, but I was about to write off Franck's Symphony altogether as this just didn't do much for me. Then I checked out Monteux's recording from my local library--and was hooked within the first 10 minutes! I highly recommend that recording (tough to find these days). Riccardo Muti's recording with the Philadelphia Orchestra also leaves this one in the dust (and is bargain-priced).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Martha Argerich: Début Recital; Brand: Johannes Brahms; Review: I just bought this disc and was blown away by it. It was everything I thought it would be and then some. It has to be one of the great piano recital CDs of all time. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beethoven: Missa Solemnis; Brand: Ludwig van Beethoven; Review: I'm not typically a big period instruments fan, but this recording was fabulous. With the singing and excitement at such a high level, I really didn't even notice the period instrumentation. I have not listened to all of the other versions, so I have no basis for comparisons, but I have a hard time believing that ANYONE would be disappointed with this recording. This is far superior to the recording I used to own of this piece (Robert Shaw, maybe?). Now, I can truly see what all of the fuss is about regarding this piece!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bach: Brandenburg Concertos No. 5 & 6; Orchestral Suite No. 1; Brand: Johann Sebastian Bach; Review: I think with the Brandenbergs, the deciding factor on which set to buy is whether you prefer modern instruments or period instruments. There are probably more great period instrument recordings (Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert is my personal favorite) to choose from than modern instrument recordings, but I think this is the best available modern instrument recording. You pretty much cannot go wrong with anything by Marriner and the ASMF, but this is truly one of their better recordings and has been for a number of years. There may be others out there just as good, but I doubt if you will find any better.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grieg: Lyric Pieces; Brand: Edvard Grieg; Review: I have not listend to many other recordings of this music, so I cannot compare this recording to others, but I cannot imagine anyone being disappointed with this one. The performance and recording are both top notch. All of the guides to classical recordings unanimously list this recording as the best of this piece, for what that is worth.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Piano Works; Brand: Robert Schumann; Review: I almost passed on this set due to the 2 reviewers that trashed it. I am so glad that I trusted the majority and purchased this set! I have enjoyed every minute of it. It has to be the best sampler of Schumann's solo piano music on the market today. You will not regret this purchase.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Debussy: Images 1 & 2; Children's Corner; Brand: Claude Debussy; Review: This is clearly a 5-star performance. One of the best and most striking I have ever heard. Clearly deserving of all of its accolades and rave reviews. The ONLY drawback is this CD is very skimpy at about 45 minutes. I would typically expect an hour or more of music on a CD. I'm still very happy with this purchase, but if I found another recording as good as this one (which would take some doing) that included a few more pieces, I might opt for that one. Kocsis, Gieseking (if the mono doesn't bother you) or Roge, for example?; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Les Miserables - The Musical That Swept the World 10th Anniversary Concert at the Royal Albert Hall; Brand: Michael Ball; Review: I have this performance on DVD and love it, so I was excited to get it on CD to replace my (good but not as good) Original Broadway Cast CD. The cast in the 10th anniversary performance is unparalelled in my view, so no regrets there. In the CD version, though, some of the editing that was done for TV/Video is a bit annoying on CD, as are all of the (well-deserved) applause at the end of numbers and the assorted coughs, throat clears, popping balloons, etc. that are unavoidable in live performances. Those things are much more bothersome on CD than in the DVD. So I will probably keep my original Broadway Cast performance as well. If you don't have it, I'd skip this CD and buy the DVD instead. That's still the ultimate!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mahler: Symphony No. 5; Brand: Gustav Mahler; Review: I have listened to many different versions of Mahler's 5th recently, trying to decide which one to buy to replace this one, which just doesn't do it for me. There is no questioning Abbado's credentials or the quality of the BP, but for whatever reason, this recording just doesn't have the "oomph" that I hear in other recordings. I haven't heard the Barbirolli recording yet, but I would rank Chailly, Karajan, Bernstein and Kubelik all well ahead of this one. Chailly is probably my favorite--a great performance combined with a top-notch digital recording.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Copland Conducts Copland: Our Town; The Red Pony Suite; El Salón México; Danzón Cubano; Three Latin American Sketches; Brand: Aaron Copland; Review: Just bought this CD and listened to it all morning. Gorgeous music! I played it on my PC, so I am not able to tell yet if there are any issues with this older recording, but I have not noticed any thus far. Very pleased! This is a nice companion CD to the typical Copland's greatest hits CDs that include Appalachian Spring, Billy the Kid, Rodeo and the Fanfare from the Common Man.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_CDs_and_Vinyl |

Title: Toorak Manor; City: Toorak Stonnington Greater Melbourne Victoria; Review: We stayed for 7 nights in late January while we were in Melbourne for the Australian Open tennis. The location is fantastic. It is away from the busy city and a 2 min walk from Hawksburn train station, which is only 2 stops to the tennis (Richmond station). It is also close enough to the city and Tram lines, and a short walk to Malvern Rd, Chapel St and Prahran Markets. Though we had a small room facing the train line, the double glazed windows did a good job at keeping train noises away. The room also had good tv reception and air conditioning that worked well. Unfortunately that's where all the good things end. For the most part the building was run down and tired. The carpets throughout were dirty and our room was quite dusty and I didn't feel it was clean at all. There were cracks and visible stains on the wall. The tea cups and saucers were not clean either. Our bed was springy and uncomfortable. We didn't get fresh towels each day and it was hard to communicate with staff as the desk was not always manned and the phone went unanswered when rung. Overall the experience was poor, and unless Toorak Manor majorly improves the cleanliness and ongoing maintenance of the rooms we won't be staying again.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Caves Coastal Bar Bungalows; City: Caves Beach Lake Macquarie Greater Newcastle New South Wa; Review: My partner and I booked a random long weekend here in late November last year. It isn't too far from Sydney but far enough that it felt like you were on a proper vacation. The villa we had was wonderful and clean and extremely comfortable. Food from the bistro was delicious and beach was just perfect. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay at Caves Beachside Hotel and would gladly come back again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seasons Heritage Melbourne; City: Melbourne Victoria; Review: We spent two nights here towards the end of our week long trip to Melbourne in 2016. It was an apartment style hotel that was very comfortable. I was glad the bathroom had a washing machine and dryer as it saved me a trip to the laundromat. The hotel is close to everything and there are tram stops just outside easily taking us to the CBD and St Kilda. It was adequate for our needs and gave us two comfortable night's sleep after spending the last few nights at a different (and really bad) hotel. The hotel wasn't amazing but I would still stay here again in the future; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quest Hawthorn; City: Hawthorn Boroondara Greater Melbourne Victoria; Review: Very impressed with Quest Hawthorn. Our room was clean and comfortable and the staff were fantastic. It is also located in a good area within walking distance to restaurants and bars and the train station. I spent two weekends here and will definitely be back; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: QT Gold Coast; City: Surfers Paradise Gold Coast Queensland; Review: I visited Surfers Paradise for the first time on the Labor Day long weekend of October 2016 and stayed 3 nights at the QT hotel. This was the best hotel I've ever stayed in Australia to date. It was bright, vibrant and a lot of fun, everything I expected from the Sunshine Coast. Our room was huge and offered great views from the window, no balcony unfortunately. The bathroom however was quite small and the sink area barely had room for any personal items like a toothbrush. We had an issue with room service where they forgot our order but it was promptly rectified once they became aware of the problem. The breakfast buffet was the best I've ever had, all the foods were fresh. Staff were fantastic to deal with. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the QT and highly recommend it to everyone both young and old!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Under Armour Sideline 64 Ounce Water Bottle, Black; Brand: Thermos; Review: THEE BEST water jug I have ever had. Obviously it's just an upgraded version of the old school Thermos your dad may have carried to work BUT it so much cooler. The look and style is updated. It keeps your water cold, and for someone like me who ends up in places where the water faucets look questionable on a regular basis, it helps me stay hydrated all day long.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotrose US 3 PCS Set Hand Gripper Grip Silicone Ring Resistance Strength Trainer Exerciser; Brand: Hotrose; Review: Definitely not as good as the original Grip Pro Trainer. The resistances aren't the same as the Grip Pro Trainer, meaning each level feels like it might be at least 10lbs. less than what it is supposed to be. Still good to build grip strength. You just have to do a lot more reps. Because I have had the originals (I lost 1 and wear and tear took the others out), I wouldn't buy these a second time. If you are a beginning/novice, definitely buy this product.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Barbells4me Atlas Heavy Duty Flat Bench 1000 Lb. Capacity with handle and wheels; Brand: FEIERDUN; Review: Commercial grade. I can now bench at home without fear of breaking the bench. It was easy to put together. It feels like or even better than some of the benches I use at the gym. Price is GREAT for the quality. Not a fan of the shipping fee, BUT still a great price including shipping. Once I grow my business, I'll be getting more.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Super Open Rack Gym by NYB; Brand: TDS; Review: Hey man. I'm loving this rack right now. I bought this for my business and I am VERY pleased. Like one of the other reviewers said "It holds all the weights." Easy assembly. Sturdy. A space saver. I recommend this for home or commercial use for Strength Coaches and Personal Trainers. The price is great too. Didn't care for the shipping cost, but still cheaper than a full rack and a rack from Rogue.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ThunderFit Silicone Wedding Band / Engagement Ring - 3 Rings Pack - 8.7mm Wide (2mm Thick) - Middle Line; Brand: ; Review: I bought these to replace my original wedding ring that I lost.

Can't wait to get them.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Marcy Adjustable Hyperextension Roman Chair / Exercise Hyper Bench JD-3.1; Brand: Marcy; Review: Good GHR for the fitness enthusiast and professional. Assembly is simple. Very sturdy. I think it has a weight limit less than commercial grade. If you have back pain, get it now! I am a Strength and Conditioning Coach and I sometimes have back pain. Having this as part of my routine has been invaluable. Glad I bought it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: ProSource Sports Foam Roller 13” x 6” / 24” x 6” (33 cm x 15; Brand: ProSource; Review: I was looking to upgrade my foam roller at the time but was hesitant until mine blew away in a snow storm in Indianapolis (I was unloading my car to go into a hotel). After watching it get blown into dark of the night, decided to go back on my Amazon wishlist and read through the reviews and specs of the foam rollers I had saved. This one stood out. So I purchased it. The reviews were right. It has the right amount of firmness for someone who is ready for an advanced foam roller. The PVC pipe is really sturdy. The outside foam material has held up really well. I think I have had this roller for 3 years now and I've weighed between 215 and 232lbs. during that time. It is still as good as new. I use it for myself and my clients. I recommend it to people asking me for ways to fix different pains and muscle tightness. If you but this, you won't be disappointed. Be warned, this isn't a foam roller for beginners. So don't but this expecting a low level of firmness. If you make that mistake, don't blame the company. You've been warned. This will give you a firm massage and help greatly with self myofascial release (SMR). It will keep your healthy, minimize your risk for injury, and decrease your recovery time. Take it from a Strength and Conditioning Coach: buy one today!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Keepfit 3 Silicone Wedding Ring Silicone Wedding Band for Men Rubber Thin Line Stripe No Glue One Piece for Climbing; Brand: Keepfit; Review: I've ordered from this company before and that's why I ordered again from them. The first set I bought was a size too big and that can was my fault. The quality was still good and I didn't feel like sending them back because I had already had sent them back once and I still got the size wrong smh. This time I got the size right. They did perfectly! They never slide off (unless I'm washing my hands and even then it's rare). They don't get in the way of my lifting or working with clients. They're not annoying or irritating like other rings. And they had one in my company colors! Buy your set today!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premium Pull Up & Resistance Fitness Bands | Weight Lifting, CrossFit, Powerlifting, Olympic & More; Brand: Olympiada; Review: I bought this band because I needed a lighter resistance band to use with my clients. So far so good. It stacks up pretty good against some of the other bands I've used over the years. The price is great and it feels solid in your hands, meaning it doesn't feel like it's going to snap at any minute. So far, I've used it for triceps pushdowns, hip raises, leg curls, and a number of shoulder rehab/prehab exercises. I'll definitely be getting some of the heavier bands because I haven't found better prices in my searches. I hope those are just as good as this one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Ace Hotel New Orleans; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: We stayed at Ace Hotel for a few days in July for the annual Beachbody Coach Summit. We were surprised to find that there was still availability here, as the summit brings thousands of people to New Orleans, and the hotel was both a good price and only about a 15-minute walk from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. I believe we got one of the double rooms with the two double beds, a flat screen TV, minibar, snacks, fridge, and free wi-fi. There was also a radio in the room, table and chairs, and a closet unit with some hangers and drawers, full length mirror, and some coat hooks near the door. The décor was quite dark, most of the furnishings, washroom, etc. were black, which I actually found to be more modern and matched the funky/trendy feel of the whole hotel. The beds were comfy, toiletries were great, and everything was clean. There was a curtain separating the washroom sink from the rest of the room, and a heavy, wooding sliding door separating the toilet and the shower from the sink, which gives pretty good privacy. Just make sure the toilet lid is closed, otherwise you'll end up with a sort of sewage-y smell in your room from the water, but no big! The hotel itself has restaurant, bar, lounge, concert/live music area, black and white photobooth by the elevators, and valet parking. There was a free water dispenser at the front and always someone to greet us and open the door for us, and the customer service was helpful and friendly, and casual as though we were talking to a friend. Part of the lounge area is connected to Stumptown Coffee Roasters next door, which has got great coffee, even for a non-coffee drinker. Upstairs is Alto, a rooftop garden, pool, and bar with a decent drinks and bar menu, but can get super packed because it's so popular. The room had everything we needed, service was great, location was perfect, and price was incredibly reasonable, especially during peak season. I was really happy with our stay would love to come here again next time I'm in town!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alto Rooftop Bar & Pool; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: This rooftop bar and pool sits on top of Ace Hotel, where we were staying for a few days in July during the annual Beachbody Coach Summit.

To be honest, it was so hot and humid that I decided to pass on a beverage, have some cold water instead, and move from the bar to sit by the pool while eating my wings. The wading pool was really small and packed with a bachelor party and few others, so I hung back and I ordered the Smoked Vasca Wings, which were three full wings with roasted garlic, hot sauce, honey, and mustard. I was surprised that the hot sauce seemed to just be Frank's/Tabasco instead of anything homemade, and the mustard was just regular yellow mustard. The wings seemed grilled, which added a great flavor, and were cooked just right, but I do wish they did something more/unique with the sauce(s) they drizzled on. Not sure it was worth the $13 plus tax and tip. They seemed pretty busy and it took us awhile to get our orders, and to get our bill and get it paid. They didn't have any containers left to take the rest I couldn't finish due to time. I couldn't wait any longer so I shoved them in a glass and went back to my hotel room. Ghetto, I know, but I ain't wasting my $13! The tacos my friends looked good but also small, so perhaps the portions are just smaller here for the price. Next time I'll definitely get a cocktail or four. They sounded amazing with ingredients like elderflower, ancho chili, and honeysuckle vodka.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Commander's Palace; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: I had a wonderful time here! I had made a reservation online well in advance, knowing we were coming from out of town, and they were very accommodating when we had to change the number of people due to a couple of cancellations. The décor is older but fancy with chandeliers and comfortable seating in the booths, with dim and soft lighting to create a more comfortable ambiance. Pretty upscale but not stuffy or overly formal - perfect for a nice dinner out or a special occasion. Like many others, I heard about their famous turtle soup, so I had to have it. It seemed more like a tomato-based gumbo, not too thick and not creamy like I thought it would be, finished with dry sherry. Very flavorful and the small turtle pieces are not very chewy. I would definitely give it a shot! For my main, I couldn't decide at all what to get since there were so many dishes I wanted to try, so I asked the waiter to tell the chef to just make something up, and my GOD was it ever good. What he put together was like me as a person - did he know me? It was crispy pork belly with house cornbread? stuffing, fresh figs, and blueberry hot sauce. It was absolutely amazing!! The wine menu is intense - you can find it online on their website. It's almost 150 pages long! They had a few on special when we went, so we got a bottle of white wine to share, though I can't remember what kind it was exactly. We were treated to three different desserts, including the Creole bread pudding soufflé, cheesecake, and some other whipped cream and chocolate tower of awesome. They were all so good, though a little too sweet for my taste but great to share. The soufflé is also a must-try - just make sure you order in advance at the beginning of your meal so that they have time to make it. We had THE best food and perfect service. I can see why it continues to do well! Definitely recommend it for both locals and tourists. Lives up the hype for sure!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cajun Encounters Tour Company; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: We were looking for things to do while we were in town in July and got a recommendation from a friend to do a swamp tour. We researched a few places and decided on Cajun Encounters based on reviews. They seem to be the most popular swamp tour company in New Orleans, and even have a list of celebrities on their website who have taken their tours (if Brad and Angelina took it, it can't be bad, right?). We booked the two-hour daytime tour with hotel pick-up, and I found a coupon online, so it came out to about $100 for the two of us. When booking, there's a long list of hotels to choose your pick-up location from and they confirm all of the rules, suggestions for clothing, and the pick-up time in the confirmation e-mail, which is about an hour to an hour and a half before your tour starts. They were right on time and the coach bus rides there and back were comfortable and enjoyable, as there was a tour guide giving us some information as we passed by landmarks and local favorites. There was a shop where we got dropped off that had a washroom, souvenirs, drinks, and snacks for purchase, like gator jerky, which I absolutely bought. Unlike the photo on their website, we got a boat that had a roof to cover, which was great because it ended up pouring really hard during our tour. We were drenched, but it would have been worse without the roof, so I'd suggest bringing a raincoat or poncho just in case. I would also suggest bug spray (the bites are real), possibly sunscreen, sunglasses, camera (waterproof case would be handy), and maybe a light sweater for the breeze. Captain Dan was incredibly knowledgeable and it was nice to get some information on post-Katrina, tour the bayou, and see a bunch of gators of different sizes. Some of them come close to the boat as the captain feeds them with hot dog pieces at the end of a long stick, so I would guarantee spotting gators and being able to take some great shots. The price may seem expensive to some people, but it's worth it. All of us had a great time!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: New Orleans Ernest N Morial Convention Center; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: I was in New Orleans in July for the annual Beachbody Coach Summit and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center was the main building used for the seminars/meetings, workshops, group workouts, and shopping area. Because of the tens of thousands of people attending the summit, the convention center was absolutely packed. It was a fine enough facility to hold everyone, though very long and it would take quite awhile to walk from one end to another and difficult if you were short on time or had mobility issues. Like many convention centers, most (if not all) of the rooms had concrete floors and air conditioning blasting, which was great for when we were working out, but quite cold in both temperature and atmosphere when attending the workshops. There were different pop-up stations for the Shakeology bars to get freshly made smoothies, as well as other popular spots, like those for shopping and information, but it seemed that many of the people working at the convention center had no clue what was going on, where anything was, or were misinformed and gave us completely wrong information or directions. We didn't necessarily expect everyone to know exactly what was going on, but with a conference this size, we thought it was fair to assume that the people working at the center would maybe have maps or at least minimal information to help direct all of the people coming in and out. All in all, it was okay and probably the best option with everything considered, but wish the building was designed a bit differently, rather than what seemed like just one long path to get from one room/location to another.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Drago's Seafood Restaurant; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: I'm giving four stars for the charbroiled oysters alone! I was a little hesitant because I prefer raw oysters far more than cooked, baked or fried. When I heard Drago's was popular for charbroiled oysters, which I had never tried before, I had to give them a shot. We ordered half a dozen for everyone to try at our table. It came on a huge plate with ALL the garlic butter and huge chunk of toasted bread. We sort of ignored the bread, to be honest, other than breaking off a small piece for the butter. The oysters, on the other hand, went quickly and we were all impressed with both the size and taste. No need to use the slice of lemon unless you have multiple and just want to try it with the lemon juice. Really great garlic, buttery, grilled kind of flavor, large and meaty, and absolutely worth the two bucks a piece we paid. Allergies aside, I guarantee even non-seafood-eating folks would enjoy it, but don't expect that fresh oyster flavor for those who typically eat them raw. At least half of us ordered the blackened catfish, but there were mixed reviews based on everyone's personal preference on how they like their fish. I've had blackened catfish before, so I did expect a lot more spiciness to it (there was no heat at all), as well as.. well, more blackness. The flavor wasn't there for me in general, and though it didn't have that muddy taste like it can sometimes have, it fell short of my expectations, especially following the charbroiled oysters. Squeezing some of the fresh juice from the slice of lemon it came with helped. I found the fish itself to be cooked quite well, very moist and reminded me of steam or poached fish, though others were used to a flakier fish, the kind that is deep fried, and felt it was undercooked. The catfish comes with collard greens and potatoes as sides, but I asked to substitute the potatoes for grits instead. The were happy to oblige, but forgot to make the substitution, so I ended up with all three in the end. The potato wedges actually ended up being good, though I only had a bite - well seasoned and cooked right. The collard greens had some bacon in it and I think just a touch too much salt and a little too watery for my liking, but overall fine. I could not stop eating the grits - they were flavorful but mild and offset the saltiness of the collard greens, but also were not at all creamy, had some texture, and firm enough to hold shape. Some people may hate for not being "right", but I loved it for being different than usual. We had a great time - food was good and service was fast and friendly. If anything, I would recommend coming here just to try the charbroiled oysters!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Seaworthy; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: We were staying at the Ace Hotel just a couple of minutes down the street and were starving past midnight on a Friday. We thought Seaworthy looked like a nice little spot to duck in, though it was obviously a cocktail bar and we weren't sure if they were still serving food. Lucky for us, they had a late night food menu available from 11pm-1am. We actually didn't order any drinks, and instead got a half a dozen raw oysters and split the burger. The oysters were very fresh from the east, west, and gulf coasts, and average about $3 each, which I found to be higher than what's typically charged at home. The burger was 8oz of half brisket, half beef chuck, which I asked for mid-rare. It was cooked perfectly and had fontal cheese, roasted ham, and garlic aioli in a brioche bun, with a side of seaweed seasoned fries and spicy pickles. It was absolutely delicious, and the fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and actually ended up being a larger portion than we thought. We asked for some garlic aioli on the side for dipping for fries, and it made our meal all the more droolworthy. Unexpectedly fantastic meal, friendly service, vibe is trendy, and extra points for the late-night mood lighting.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Olde Nola Cookery; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Bourbon Street was undergoing some serious construction, so we ducked in here for a place to eat and have some drinks for one of our girlfriends' birthdays before heading out. Our group of six was seated in the smaller area upstairs, which actually suited us better, as it was less packed and we seemed to have faster service than what we would've expected downstairs in the main dining. It was also nice to have our own washroom available on the same floor upstairs, instead of having to go up and down. I ordered some "swamp tea", a mixture of Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, Red Bull, pineapple juice, and Bols Crème de Menthe. I was a little disappointed none of the house specials were bourbon-based (bourbon on Bourbon, get it?), but was happy too order this one. A little sweet for me, but overall good flavor. Wish we had the sweet tea vodka back home! For dinner, I got the fried shrimp po-boy, which comes with coleslaw, tomato, pickles, onions, and remoulade, and a side of fries, which I upgraded to cajun fries. The po-boy was okay, fried fine but nothing special. The fries, on the other hand, were super indulgent. Their fries have the same kind of breading/fried texture as the ones you can find at Costco (awesome), and the cajun option adds melted cheddar cheese and crawfish and mushroom cream sauce on top. Flavor was great, very creamy, and a large portion, but quite rich and heavy, so I'd suggest sharing them with someone else, even if they just come as a side with your order. We had a great time, with good food and ever better company. Would've liked to order some of the appetizers to share. Nice to see some different bar food options that have some character.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mike Anderson's Seafood; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: We wanted to check out the outlets at Riverwalk but got a little hungry and wanted a warm snack that wasn't fried, so we ordered small bowls of the chicken and sausage gumbo and the crawfish etoufée from the takeout counter to share. They both come on top of some rice and with some toasted garlic bread. Out of the two, I enjoyed the gumbo more. It had a good spice to it and was heartier than I expected for a small bowl, with plenty of veggies and meat for a fairly reasonable price of $6, though obviously food-court quality. This was actually the first time I had ever had crawfish etoufée before, so I can't compare it to others, but from what I've been told, the consistency should be like gravy, however, this seemed extremely thick and gelatinous, as though there was too much cornstarch or something added. Not big on flavor (was hoping to really taste that crawfish), and a little too much salt to overcompensate. Disappointing for a seafood restaurant. Not that I was expecting anything spectacular from a takeout counter at an outlet mall, but not worth the $10 in my opinion, and service was standoffish, so that didn't help either.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Ye Olde College Inn; City: Kenner, LA; Review: We had about an hour before boarding and since this was the only restaurant in the terminal, we ended up here for a sit-down snack at the bar. The main location has great reviews, so I think maybe some of the quality was lost in this smaller, airport location. I ordered the shrimp remoulade with fried green tomatoes and the turkey and andouille gumbo. The fried green tomatoes themselves were great and it was a larger portion of food than I expected, but I thought a little expensive - expected at the airport. There was a generous amount of well-sized shrimp, however, they were still frozen and I had to pry apart a bunch of them that were stuck together with ice. The house remoulade was good in flavor, tart with some spice, but too heavy on the mayo, in my opinion. The gumbo with turkey and andouille sausage came hot and also had a pretty good flavor and spice. Lot more rice than meat, which was too bad, but it was a hearty enough dish to warm the belly. Liked that there was hot sauce all around - use the Louisiana-style Crystal one if you haven't tried it, and you can buy it in the store across from the restaurant. Service was nice but slow. Been to worse airport restaurants before. It was fine overall and better than just another pre-packaged sandwich, but don't expect to be in and out quickly.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: ; Brand: Royce Da 5'9"; Review: To make a long story short, this Platinum deserving MC made a sequel to his 2004 effort Death is Certain. This time, Eminem was smart enough to get on this one. I say that because Em sells because he's White in a Black-owned craft. Royce just didn't blow up with him like he should have because he got signed after Em got on. So Em kind of had a head start. Anyway, Royce is the Black Em. Which is why Em finally woke up and put him on his label. As a result, together they're scary. And with Em's backing, this album WILL get your attention. Once you hear the first 2 tracks, you'll consider this a classic already. Trust me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Word...Life; Brand: OC; Review: For those of you who liked Nas' Illmatic, but this. Because if both albums had not come out around the same time, this album wouldn't be forgotten. This album is true to it's title.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Black Star; Brand: Black Star; Review: For those who think a Biggie/Jay-Z album would have shut the game down, not so fast. These are Brooklyn's finest that are SOOO underrated. From real world issues like Definition to Thieves in the Night, Mos Def and Talib Kweli offer the type of hip-hop that isn't appreciated in 2011. So if you can do without the Brag Rap, buy this album, just sit back, and relax.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cole World: The Sideline Story; Brand: J. Cole; Review: J.Cole proved to be worth the wait with this classic debut. The track Lost Ones alone deserves a standing ovation for a perfect visual of expecting parent situations. And for that hater that gave him one star, congratulations, you may be one of his future targets!! LOL, I feel sorry for you. Anyway, J. Cole picked up where Little Brother left off as far as putting North Carolina on the map!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Wonder Years; Brand: 9th Wonder; Review: For those of you who remember that '98 masterpiece Soul Survivor by Pete Rock where he chooses the best of the best to spit over his well-thought out beats, this is just like it. His protege, 9th Wonder, does the same thing. From West Coast legends like Warren G to East Coast legends like Raekwon and Talib Kweli. Also, choosing Ms. Badu to sing over his production was perfect. So if you appreciated '98's Soul Survivor, buy this ASAP!!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ; Brand: The Roots; Review: For real Roots fans, all I have to say is this, Dear God alone makes the album worth buying. My dude, Phonte's appearances don't hurt at all, either. This album got robbed of a Grammy. Thanks a lot, Blueprint 3. Smh, wow.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Charity Starts at Home; Brand: Phonte; Review: To say that this is a classic is an understatement. So for all LOYAL Phonte fans, get this album. From start to finish, there will be no need to skip a track. I wish I could specify but I don't want to be in danger of doing this album an injustice. Period.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ; Brand: The Roots; Review: The Roots went a step further in this album by not only touching on how South Hip-Hop has gone, but ending the album with instrumentals so deep, Spike Lee would shed a couple of tears. For those of you who don't appreciate reviews such as this like the Yelawolf Radioactive review, get lost. For those of you who appreciate a concise review, especially if you are an authentic fan of this group, get the album. It's somewhat of a sequel to How I Got Over. Period!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Dreamer, The Believer; Brand: Common; Review: For all Common fans who have been waiting for Common to take it back to Resurrection and add some traces of Like Water for Chocolate, get this album. I had the honor of listening to it in it's entirety and clearly was amazed by the Shaq-sized chip Common had on his shoulder. The first track with Maya Angelou(perfect visual of our ancestors), the smash hit Ghetto Dreams with Nas (SMH, a match made in heaven.), the song with John Legend, and Poppa Common himself sealing the deal, you AUTHENTIC Common fans will appreciate this. Not too long or too short. A dozen tracks of rare hip hop, not hip-pop. P.S. That reminds me, listen to track 4 as Common personally calls out artists that couldn't "jam in traffic". Get it? Well then, just got the album and pay attention, ok?!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_CDs_and_Vinyl |

Title: Motel 6 Kingston; City: Kingston Ontario; Review: My wife and I were on our way to Toronto, and since we left later in the day than we expected, we decide to stay in Kingston for the night. We found a Hotel 6 right near the highway, and decided to check it out. With a little discount they gave us the price for the night was about $70.00. The room was not big, the washroom was a little small, but not bad at all, considering all we wanted was a place to sleep. We were near a truck stop and thought we were going to hear them first thing in the morning, but nothing at all. The staff were very friendly and all in all I would recommend staying there when you are not looking for all the bells and whistles.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Grandview at Las Vegas; City: Las Vegas Nevada; Review: My wife and I stayed at the Grandview the last week of May. Anyone with timeshare knows the rooms are very large and there is everything in them, jacuzzi included. What I could not believe was how a place like this could run out of hot water, you would think that they would have a better system for such a big area. If you want to go to the strip, you have two choices, rent a car, or use their shuttle. If you use their shuttle it is $8.00 per person for the day, good deal, but the downfall is that the last one leaves the strip at 1AM to get back to the Grandview. Well if you know Vegas, 1AM is still early and things are just getting going. We went to enjoy all of Vegas and not be controlled by time. So if you are going to be out past 1AM, the shuttle is not for you. All in all not too bad, but not great if you want to be closer to the excitement of Las Vegas.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn Suites Brossard; City: Brossard Quebec; Review: My wife and I had to travel late at night from Ottawa , and we knew we could get a hotel near Montreal. we googled the area for hotels and found that the Qaulity inn was close to the highway, so we decided to try it out. We both thought that being so close to MTL. that everything would be in French, but were we ever surprised. Every personal we talked to spoke English, which was great for my wife, and they were all very pleasant. None of them made you feel like you were invading their territory, like some can do. The rooms were great, of course we needed heat being winter time, but you could barely hear the heater going on, different for a change. We had breakfast, compliments of the hotel, and enjoted the nice service from the staff. We only stayed one night , but we will definately be back to enjoy it a lot more. And for those that think the Montreal area is going to be all French speaking, like we did, you will be very surprised.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Hamilton; City: Hamilton Ontario; Review: My wife and I had to go to Hamilton at the last minute for a family affair. My wife went on-line and found this place not far from where we were going. The rooms are very small, but we were only there for a weekend, and only at the Inn to sleep, so it didn't matter much. You get what you pay for , so to speak. We arrived on Friday at about 6 PM, and there was enough parking at that time. After we went out and came back at about 10 Pm , we were told we had to park at another location, that sucks, because now your car is not in sight. When checking in we noticed a sign that stated no visitors allowed in your room. Well if you are want to bring back the people we were visiting to your room, it was not allowed. Did not make sense. The place was good enough in the last minute, but we would probably choose somewhere else next time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn; City: Pembroke Ontario; Review: We were going to a ceremony for a family member at the base in Petawawa, and stayed at the Comfort Inn for one night. The room was a little hard to move around , with the way they have it laid out, but we were there basically to sleep, so no big deal. The 4 of us found the place very clean and everything a hotel needs , so to speak. The eggs at breakfast was not the best, but the other food made up for it. We would probably stay there again as we were treated very nice by the staff, and it is only about a 10 minute drive to the base.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

These arrived and I put them to hard work the last few days and they are worth each and every penny they cost. They cut through many layers of fabric with great east. They are light weight for those of us with hand issues, and, the spring action is perfect. They are very well made, and I would highly recommend these for the task of doing cutting for rag quilts. They slice through the fabric- 4 layers of flannel, like it was butter. Superbly made and great shears!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: La Bastide de Marie; City: Menerbes Luberon Vaucluse Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: We stayed here in Sept. 2011 for 4 nights and LOVED it! The hotel was everything I wanted for our stay...lots of stone walls everywhere (the spa looked like a cave); full of antiques but not dark and gloomy- very airy; you had breakfast out on the breakfast patio; wine and appetizers on another patio every night; and dinner in their dining room (ALL the food was gourmet and tasted unbelievable)= each location was absolutely picturesque! This hotel is on their own winery so the topography was fabulous...The people treat you like they have know you forever and we went home making new wonderful friends. The weather was perfect this time of year= warm in the day and cool at night. Our room was awesome!= We stayed in the "Aubergine Room"= it had 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a living room with quaint private patio off of it (At the time I booked our reservation this room was all they had left- we really didn't need 2 bedrms.) The other rooms we saw were absolutely darling!- they even have one free standing bedroom suite out on the grounds that is something out of a fairy tale! It reminded me of a Swiss train car. (see below photo) We would take drives to neighboring towns during the day and then headed back for wine and dinner-- you didn't have to come back for dinner- we chose to because each meal was different and the wine was so good. You had choices each night between 2 starters, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts. We have already planned on coming back and staying at least 2 weeks here!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Christopher St Barth; City: Anse de Lorient St Barthelemy; Review: Ate here twice and they offered a deal where you could eat lunch, spend the day at the pool, and have a massage for what it cost us for 1 massage at another location on St. Barth! They even gave us our bar drinks for free while we were at the pool! Andreas was outstanding at the restaurant - he MADE the resort- very helpful and so funny. They have a multi-cultural staff thru out the whole resort which made it very interesting to talk to all of them. VERY enjoyable times. We also looked at 2 rooms while there- eclectic and nice; Rating: 5.0/5.0

We ate lunch in their Coq d"Or restaurant/bar and it was outstanding (try their Bookbinder soup- unbelievably good!) Had breakfast each morning in their Lavazza cafe (always good coffee and had great sweets and yogurt, etc.) When we left the valet captain even gave me a kiss on the cheek and said Merry Christmas! All in all- a very enjoyable weekend at The Drake...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rosewood Little Dix Bay; City: Virgin Gorda British Virgin Islands; Review: Let me start by saying- we got married here and spent our honeymoon 21 yrs. ago. At that time there were no tvs , no phones, and no kids in the rooms. We came back here every year for our anniversary for about 5 yrs. and then started going over to Tortola instead where we bought property and built. We sold that house last year and decided to come back here again. This trip has shown us how things DO change. Still no tvs but you can have one brought in for an extra $20 a day, phones in rooms, air conditioning (nice addition), but while having kids here is fine we are VERY disappointed that there is no designated area for families and then some for without kids. We are in a Treehouse Cottage (built with 2 cottages that adjoin each other) that only has a king bed in them but on the other side of us they must have brought in rollaways because there are kids in there and it is very loud...just not the honeymoon feel that Little Dix had before. This is extremely annoying when you focus on what you are paying to be here!...My husband also booked a massage for today and when he went to the spa they said they didn't have him down- mistakes can happen but they shouldn't at these prices!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sugar Mill Hotel; City: Tortola British Virgin Islands; Review: We stayed here July 17- 24th and had a wonderful room- # 142 (upstairs room so vaulted ceiling which I love). It is one of their nicer rooms so I can't say what the others look like but we loved this one. It had King bed that was very comfortable, (I have back issues and it was great) a sitting area with sofa and 2 chairs, a small cafe table with 2 chairs, and small refrig.; sink; toaster; and coffeemaker, LOTS of windows with plantation shutters on all, french doors opening to patio with hammock and chairs to overlook the ocean, Oh- and this room has an adjoining door if you want to use both rooms...The food at the restaurant is tops. We have been coming to the BVI for 22 yrs. and always have eaten at the Sugar Mill at least once while visiting, and have always taken guests there- (we used to own a home on Tortola)...There is a nice pool but you also are right across the road from their beach which also has a beach restaurant for lunches that is VERY good and enjoyable. VERY nice stay!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rosewood Little Dix Bay; City: Virgin Gorda British Virgin Islands; Review: We returned to Little Dix Bay this time and found it a much different trip than last Nov. review I did. Everything was perfection! From the time we arrived, to when we left, we a glorious time! They even were able to give us the treehouse we had requested where we stayed when we got married there 22 yrs. ago! This place is beyond nice- your every need is met and everyone is SO welcoming. EVERY room in the resort is decorated SO well. The food is exceptional. The bay is the nicest in the BVI for swimming and laying on a raft and just floating. They do have beach "toys" like canoeing, etc. We had several spa treatments- I think my husband would live there! We will forever return!........going back in November!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Carmel Country Inn; City: Carmel Monterey County California; Review: First of all- the people here (and everywhere in Carmel) are SO friendly and helpful. This was a perfect place to stay; breakfasts were SO good with so much to pick from and included in your stay. Our room was very nice and large with fireplace. The price point was very reasonable for Carmel. We walked everywhere because we were so close to everywhere- shopping, restaurants, and the ocean. Can't wait to go back and will definitely stay here again...Oh- and they are very pet friendly- EVERYONE there had a dog with them except us!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rosewood Little Dix Bay; City: Virgin Gorda British Virgin Islands; Review: The ONLY reason for #3 rating= First of all, we have been coming here for 22 yrs after getting married here 11/15/91. It has ALWAYS been a very relaxing trip with amenities galore... This trip was a little different... We had requested a Tree House (still advertised on their website) but when got here all of the Tree Houses were under renovation so they "upgraded" us to an Ocean Cottage. What they didn't tell us was we were sandwiched between one Tree House acting as their supply building and the other Tree House that they hammered and jack hammered everyday starting at 8AM! We had an outdoor shower that the workers would stand just outside of it and talk- very invading. AND- the Tree Houses are delightfully built in an octagonal shape with glass walls on all sides but one- BUT, we had workers constantly walking just outside them going to the supply building so NO privacy if you didn't keep your curtains shut but wanted sunlight in your room (and who doesn't since you come to the Caribbean for that!) Now, this complaint is only about the location of our room... EVERYTHING else was perfect! Food fabulous, staff very friendly, workout facility awesome, etc. Just wanted to give a heads up that if you're booking or coming - request a place AWAY from ANY construction! Otherwise can be VERY annoying and not restful....; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Rosewood Little Dix Bay; City: Virgin Gorda British Virgin Islands; Review: Returned for the 23rd year in a row and never disappointed! Everything we did there was outstanding and Lord willing, we will be back next year~ same time. We had an issue last year with some construction going on next to us but they did more than expected to make up for it= We got 3 free nights! The rooms, food (in all restaurants), and staff are unbelievably great! Will forever return as long as we can.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Princess Managua; City: Managua Managua Department; Review: We stayed here overnight to fly out early next morning. Have stayed at Hiltons many times but this one was the best. We stayed on Executive level and have to say the food they put out for guests was EXCELLENT and a lot of variety. Would definitely recommend spending the extra bucks- we actually ate our dinner their!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Viceroy L Ermitage Beverly Hills; City: Beverly Hills California; Review: Our 3rd visit here and is consistently perfect! The rooms are so spacious and very comfortable. The bathroom are huge and LOVE that there are so many places to put stuff I bring. Overall- we will never stay anywhere else when visiting L.A.!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Ackerman Toyota; City: St. Louis, MO; Review: Ask for Randall at Ackerman! I dreaded shopping for a new car. I figured it would be a painful experience as in the past. However, Ackerman made it such a fun and exciting time! Specifically, Randall was patient and understanding as we navigated through the entire process. He provided solid advice when I asked for suggestions and made every attempt to clarify my needs. I explained what I was seeking, and Randall met every expectation. I'm extremely satisfied with the car that I selected and with the experience overall!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I highly recommend him.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Makita RT0700CX3 1.0 Horsepower Compact Router Kit; Brand: Makita; Review: Makita calls this router a trimmer. Nothing cold be further from the truth! It is a powerful machine with enough included bases to ensure you can easily handle any project you can think of.lunge base works flawlessly, the offset base allows you to finish an edge clear up to a corner, the fixed base is really all you need to use this magnificent machine. It is easily adjusted with an accurate scale for gauging just how much your bit will protrude. And finally, the angled base is something I never even thought about, but it adds a new dimension to your router repertoire. The soft case, something I am not normally enamored with, is a very useful, well thought out accessory. It has storage for all the included bases and accessories plus room for router bits to be stored that is easily accessible.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fein 9-20-24 Turbo I 6-Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum with Auto-Start; Brand: Fein; Review: I love this vacuum. Yes it is expensive, but It has the quality to go along with the price. I live the variable speed feature. I use it with a sanding tool for drywall joints and there is virtually no sanding dust that escapes this vacuum, but you really need to set the speed at its lowest level or you cant move your sander. You don't need to buy the Fein accessory set because my old sears hose and attachments fit perfectly!! I expect this vac to last many years. I bought a clean stream HEPA filter for $32 at Lowe's and it fits perfectly if you remove the little metal ring in the bottom of the included filter. The advantage is this, the 5 micron filter catches most of the dust and the inner filter only has to catch the smaller stuff so it stays cleaner longer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rockwell Jawhorse Foldable Plywood Jaw, Model# RK9206; Brand: Rockwell; Review: I have had a Jaw Horse for some time. I have used a lot and really wanted to add to its capabilities. The ease of cutting a full sheet of plywood or MDF with this tool is just marvelous. I am finishing my wife's sewing room with oak built in tables and cabinets and this is a must have to get the big pieces cut into more manageable sizes, Terrific tool, well engineered, solidly built. 5 stars from me!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Neiko 10109A 1/4" Router Bit Set For Woodworking, 50 Piece| Tungsten Carbide; Brand: Neiko; Review: Lots of carbide bits for a great price. If you break one throw it away.

Title: Work Sharp WSKTS-W Knife & Tool Sharpener; Brand: Work Sharp; Review: This is my go-to all around sharpener. Great on knives, scissors, loppers, pruners, and lawn mower blades.

Title: Coffs Harbour Holiday Apartments; City: Coffs Harbour New South Wales; Review: I have told friends to visit this place. We didn't book, we just went looking as we it was 7pm there were a row of placed but we looked no further after this one. Vicki offered to show us a room. I found it hard to get out of the heated pool. Well thought of extras like a tub near the shower to put your wet swimmers in, tiles from the door to the shower, a portable clothes line and lots more....; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Executive Inn; City: New Lambton New South Wales; Review: Main pool closed due to renovation would have been nice to know? One small pool was open with lots of people. Easy access to the club next door which caters for everyone, from a piece of raisin toast to a baked dinner, all in the one place. Hotel gives you temporary membership, so no paperwork, just swipe your card and in you go, charges are added to your room account. I would've liked to have had a toaster in the room. and a dvd player, as well as somewhere to dry the towels and swimmers. Overall a very pleasant experience.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Glenelg Sea Breeze; City: Glenelg Greater Adelaide South Australia; Review: After a long trip in the car we were met by our friendly host with a cool drink. We were shown our quarters which were a big main bedroom, bathroom, lounge/dining room with a big tv, heating and cooling. There's also a bedroom with two single beds. We were well looked after and breakfast was served for us. We were able to use the washing machine and the kitchen. It's in a nice quiet street, no need for the car. Our host helped us with a map and instructions for the tram. You can walk to the tram stop, visit Adelaide, go to Adelaide Zoo, Rundle Mall etc. Or walk to Glenelg shops, lots of eateries or walk to the beach. Oh and at Glenelg shops you will find a Haigh's Chocolate Shop!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Coachman Motor Inn; City: The Entrance New South Wales; Review: Clean, quiet and comfortable. Lovely soft sheets on the very comfortable bed. No traffic to wake you. The first place we've stayed in that advertised Foxtel, and actually had lots and lots of channels to choose from, rather than 4 or 5. Very impressed with their efforts at recycling and solar power. Reasonable tariffs too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quest Canberra; City: Canberra Australian Capital Territory; Review: We have stayed in The Quest at Wagga Wagga so were expecting a high standard. Here are some thing I wrote down before I left to go home... The smell of the place reminded me of a guinea pig cage. Later when I had no shoes on, I noticed that the hall and kitchen carpet was wet, so that may have been the smell. Fully equipped kitchen, kitchen tap very difficult to use. Decent kitchen for cooking, dishwasher broken. It had been left on and was making a whirring noise. Not sure how the cleaners didn't hear it. Large bathroom, nowhere to put your clothes while showering. I don't include the toilet as somewhere to put clean clothes. No window in the bathroom and the exhaust fan didn't work. Big shower, again this had the most ridiculous tap, as did the vanity basin. It was either too hot or two cold, hard to get the water to mix properly. Nice and close to lots of nice restaurants, no need to use the car. Very comfortable beds, a shame that the noise from the said restaurants made it hard to sleep, the pub downstairs attracted a lot of people who stood outside for hours. Someone comes and cleans with what sounded like a leaf blower at 6 or 7am in the morning either that or the street sweeper truck! Huge verandah which was nice, but no screens on the doors so the place filled up with blowflies very quickly. Handy to hang our washing out as the dryer didn't work either. If you want to hear the TV, keep doors and windows shut. We moved the lounges as 4 of us wanted to watch a DVD. Revealed was lots of dirt, beer bottle caps and someone had dropped two tablets! Cleaning? A bit hopeless we thought. Toilets left unclean, no toilet brush for a quick DIY with some soap. Bathroom floors not mopped, so obvious with it being so light coloured. Parking $12 which was a lot cheaper than metred parking but it would've been nice to have been told when book that 'we driving down'. The parking lot have the clamp locks which you unlock for yourself. It doesn't stop other people parking between two! It's a shame when you're really looking forward to top quality and don't get anywhere near.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Styles Canberra Eaglehawk; City: Sutton New South Wales; Review: The first surprise was that their wi-fi is $12.50 for 2 hours. The second surprise was the accommodation quoted (over the phone) $169 a night for a double bed/$179 for a queen. Online prices differ significantly, being $110 and $101 for a Sunday and Monday night for a double bed. We have stayed here many many times and find it a lot cheaper than staying in Canberra itself. I will report if there are any major differences. I'm hoping the breakfast has a few more choices this time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Ambassador on Ruthven Motor Inn; City: Toowoomba Queensland; Review: We arrived and were given our 3 day wi-fi password. Which means you take your iPad with you when you go and then it works again when you arrive home, without having to do anything. You can sit in the car and look up where you're going. Also great for looking up work stuff really quickly and then back to holidaying. Units are very clean with a dark blind on the window, soft towels, quiet rooms. Whilst we had neighbours on either side, we didn't hear them. Coat hangers, soft beds, great shampoo as well. Friendly staff who let us use the washing on the lines, rather than use the dryer, as it was such lovely weather. Oh and a separate sink for your dishes to the bathroom sink. Best Western, yes this was the best 3 days of our trip! My photos are exactly the same as what they use on their website.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Motel Miramar; City: Nambucca Heads New South Wales; Review: Walked in and noticed it looked really clean. You walk straight into the kitchen which is well equipped and with all you need and space for your groceries etc, and into the lounge room. There is a cupboard in there with a pull out bed, which we didn't use. A lounge and a table and 4 chairs overlooking the view. The bedroom was lovely with air conditioner and a view out the window. The bedroom also had plenty of storage. The bathroom had a bath in it, the toilet was separate. First floor is fabulous for the view and the breeze of the verandah which ran past the lounge and the bedroom. I spent ages in the pool as it was such a lovely day and then we went for a walk on the boardwalk and then next door at the RSL for dinner. No need to use the car, everything was close at hand and it was a great stay. Would like to stay more than one night next time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sundowner Twin Towns Motel; City: Tweed Heads New South Wales; Review: We arrived feeling very tired but were made to feel very welcome. I couldn't wait to use the pool, it was clean and warm. I noticed there was a toddler pool as well, which led into the bigger pool. The showers were great and the rooms are large.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Deer Park Motor Inn Armidale; City: Armidale New South Wales; Review: We chose to stay here again. The same incredible service, ultra clean bedrooms, warm showers. So quiet and restful. We always sleep well here and the price is low considering the room sizes. We were too tired to swim, but the indoor pool is great in the hot weather. No need for sunscreen!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Charles Sturt Suites Apartments; City: Wagga Wagga New South Wales; Review: This isn't the first time we've stayed here but it's been 2 years. I'm glad to say there was little difference. The staff are accommodating, always welcoming. The room is clean, no bleach smell. The free wi-fi is reliable. The air conditioner is quiet. In the bathroom, you get a bathmat (which is rare) a towel, a hand towel and a washer each. There is dinner plate, sandwich plate, two cups and saucers (maybe time for mugs!) as well as enough cutlery for each guest. We stay here each time we're in Wagga now as it's about the only place that I can get to sleep. The bed is comfortable, with a soft light and a reading light on each side of the bed. Oh, and the shower, is fabulous. We pack much less when we stay here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alluna Motel Armidale; City: Armidale New South Wales; Review: A beautiful motel. Looks lovely inside, well set out. Bed, coffee table, comfy lounge chairs, as well as table and chairs for meals. Great shower and super quiet. Welcoming hosts, no problems here. We arrived and went for a dip in the pool after travelling in 34 degree heat. We highly recommend this place for a stopover.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Oceana Holiday Units; City: Coffs Harbour New South Wales; Review: We stayed in the Studio at the back. It's such a 'happy' looking room! It has everything you need, hidden in the cupboards. Hot plate, frypan, saucepan, kettle, cutlery, crockery and a kitchen sink. A decent sized bathroom as well. The pool was great, has a shade cover. It's also walking distance to the beach! So we had a swim and then walked, wrapped in a towel, down to the beach. It was wonderful, even though it was almost dusk. This is definitely a favourite spot that we're adding to our list. The WI-Fi didn't work properly right at the back BUT there was too much else to do outside!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Terrigal Pacific Coastal Retreat; City: Terrigal New South Wales; Review: Free parking. Walk to shops, cafe, beach and river. A convenience shop is a very short distance away. The room was amazing, Lovely comfortable bed and a decent lounge. Table and chairs as well. Buy take away and come back and serve or make your own meal, everything that you need! It was quiet, the pool was lovely and warm, The wi-fi worked really well. The hosts were really welcoming and helpful. It feels like such a happy place to be!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shellharbour Resort Conference Centre; City: Shellharbour New South Wales; Review: The place had a 1970s feel BUT it had everything you needed and the bed was so comfy for a good night's sleep. It was very quiet too. It was very close to the beach and lookouts. It's been a while since we've had a shower with a curtain. The dispenser bottles of shampoo/conditioner/shower gel was odd. I'm sure the shampoo and the shower gel smelt the same! The only way to fill the kettle, or water bottles was from the shower. The vanity was tiny and no much place to put anything BUT saying all that, we were happy as it was within our budget and close to the beach.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quest Nowra; City: Nowra Shoalhaven New South Wales; Review: What a lovely bright and clean room, everything was sheer comfort. You can shop locally and cook a meal yourself. The bathroom was great too. When you walked in the front door, the bathroom was there, then you walked past the kitchen, dining, lounge to bed to the bedroom. The bathroom isn't close to the bedroom BUT the advantage, as the bedroom is in the middle is that it is oh so quiet! It makes the walk to the bathroom seem like nothing! I expect other apartments are different, this was in the corner. I can't remember a motel with such a comfortable bed, we both slept really well and will certainly return! It was great that there was a lift too, we would get everything upstairs the first time! We did have to park outside on Saturday night as there were no spaces left, although it is 'secure' parking, we didn't get the benefit of that.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Forster; City: Forster New South Wales; Review: After getting the wrong place we finally found Best Western. We had to knock and then the gruff manager said 'have you booked? Then started looking to find our booking'. I've never felt so unwelcome at a Best Western. Check out was pretty much the same, he couldn't care less. Could do with wiping down the bathroom door, as it was filthy and the cupboard under the vanity has a spider living in there. Not up to Best Western's usual standard.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Oceana Holiday Units; City: Coffs Harbour New South Wales; Review: We stayed in the 2 bedroom unit with a friend this time. Fully equipped kitchen with stove and cooktop which worked properly. Also a fridge with a proper freezer. 2 bathrooms which is ideal. Also a washing machine, and clothesline. Very quiet here, not many units. Staff made us feel very welcome. We will be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Canton Beach Holiday Park; City: Toukley New South Wales; Review: We really enjoyed our stay. We were in a Jabiru, which faces the water. It was so pretty to sit on the verandah with a cuppa. Footpath nearby takes you into the bush which was great. The bedroom was small but adequate, and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was great, hot water worked easily, not so great in other places we've been to!! The fridge had a working freezer which is great for travellers who carry eskis with bricks. We enjoyed a movie on foxtel, which was a nice surprise. Microwave, kettle, toaster, washing up equipment, all the crockery you'd ever need. Air conditioning. Free wi-fi? Forget about the wi-fi it's not worth all the effort to get on, and then it doesn't work. We had a great weekend and will be returning!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sails Port Macquarie by Rydges; City: Port Macquarie New South Wales; Review: Friendly staff, beautiful room, better than I thought. 'Free' breakfast on Monday morning seemed strange without hot food, we were told there wasn't any hot food, which was a little disappointing. I wonder if that was why it was offered free? No microwave or toaster in the room, nor a freezer within the fridge, for people who travel with eskis. The pool was beautiful, even in mid September! Warm and clean. An easy walk to the big shopping centre across the road, also the Panthers Club. The beds were super comfortable. Good having the bathroom near the front door when coming from the pool.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Coolangatta Estate; City: Shoalhaven New South Wales; Review: The windows look like they haven't been cleaned for years, hard to see out. Door broken, my husband ended up fixing it. Free to air tv didn't work, the bedside clock didn't work. Wi-fi didn't work, had to go and sit near the office to get it to work. Cleanliness of the place was very poor. Room smelled musty and old. Big bed, with one side table. Nowhere to hang wet swimmers/towels. Smallest bathroom ever, with big rough towels. After two days there was an ant invasion, but they don't clean unless you've been there over 4 nights. No air-conditioning in room 22, we didn't read the small print! One small fan was provided. The good? $150 per night in the Christmas holidays is a bargain. The quietness, nobody around. The pool was far enough away and surrounded by bush so couldn't hear anyone from there either. Crockery, cutlery toaster and kettle provided. It has Austar. The shower was really good. The pool was lovely, had no rail to get down the awkward steps. Won't be back.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Garden City Motor Inn; City: Wagga Wagga New South Wales; Review: $129 is a great price for January! It's a lovely place with everything you need. Breakfast included in the price, which is a great start to the day. Off the the dining room in the morning, no washing up! The room had crockery and cutlery, mugs. It also had a microwave and a toaster. There's also a pool.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shellharbour Village Motel; City: Shellharbour New South Wales; Review: An easy walk to cafes and the water's edge. Clean, friendly and quiet motel with comfy bed. The room was so so clean and fresh, as was the bathroom. Fastest and friendliest check-in I've ever experienced. The staff were willing to help in any way to make our stay more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sandpiper Motel; City: Ulladulla Shoalhaven New South Wales; Review: A bargain price in the holiday season.The room was very comfortable, towels were very small. So great that they thought to provide a basket with beach towels and suncream near the pool! An easy walk (it's uphill a bit) to the shops and back, much easier than trying to park in the busy season. Staff dealt with our noisy neighbours (who sat outside to smoke and chat at 5.30am) diligently! Thank you; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: 3 Explorers Motel; City: Katoomba Blue Mountains New South Wales; Review: We stayed here again, as this is an easy place to sleep as it's so quiet. Spotlessly clean as well as handy to the The Sisters and Trolleybus. Happy to leave our car at the motel and be tourists for the day! The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had an awesome shower. The bathroom was a little dated BUT it was soooooo clean! We'll be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Styles Canberra Eaglehawk; City: Sutton New South Wales; Review: I love this place but please please don't stay here if you have little ones. The last few days they have 2 fence panels missing off their pool fence, replaced it with tape,yes tape! It is next to the children's playground. Please be careful! Someone is working on it, but are not there 24 hours a day! Aside from that, this place is great value, comfortable and quiet. We were just so shocked about the pool fence and the danger for little ones.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Oceana Holiday Units; City: Coffs Harbour New South Wales; Review: This is a well maintained place to stay. This time we stayed as two couples. The unit has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms at either end. Lots of room, big lounge and decent sized dining table. The oven and cook top work efficiently, so cooking meals was easy. Enough cutlery and crockery. A good sized refrigerator. We stayed here 5 nights and didn't want to leave. There's an exceptionally clean swimming pool as well as being walking distance to the beach. The local club is just down the road and there are shops and eateries close by as well. The owners are lovely and will help you with information or anything you need. A home away from home in a quiet spot. We will be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Coppers Hill Private Accommodation; City: Gloucester New South Wales; Review: A lovely surprise to have a key in a security box, rather than have to find someone. We stayed 3 nights and wished we could stay more. The bed was so comfortable, it was like a motel but with luxury, lovely soft chairs to sit on, a verandah with chair and tables and lovely surroundings. It was just so peaceful. Shops within walking distance.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Maswik Lodge; City: Grand Canyon National Park Arizona; Review: We (my husband, son and myself) stayed at Maswick Lodge in mid-December. It is worth the money to stay in the park! Our room was clean and had enough room for the three of us. We are hikers, so we did not spend much time in the room - we would hike all day and come back get cleaned up and head to dinner. The location is great - a short walk and you are at the rim. Early in the morning you could see deer and elk right outside our patio door. If you need to pick up groceries - shop at the store in the park - it is cheaper than in town.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Shoshone Lodge Guest Ranch; City: Cody Wyoming; Review: While we were in Yellowstone National Park in late September 2011 early October 2011 - we stayed at Shoshone Lodge for two nights. (It was just my husband and myself.) It was a perfect place to relax and close enough to get in and out of Yellowstone National Park - real close to the East Entrance. The staff was extremely friendly and the cabin we stayed in was clean. There is no cellular service or tv - a true place to get away from it all. We were there on the last night they were open for the season.The restaurant on the grounds had good food for a reasonable price. I did not feel that they were cleaning out the kitchen - the food was fresh.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Travelers Palm Inn; City: Key West Florida Keys Florida; Review: This "resort" in downtown Key West is wonderful. Michel was very accommodating and was able to help us find lodging at a very busy time in Key West. Although, we had to switch suites during our stay - Michel and staff made it seemless and it really did not effect any of our plans. Due to the switch to a different suites - we were able to see a couple of suites. I have to say the suites are beautifully done and clean. The grounds are landscaped so, you feel you are in your own little Oasis...and there is plenty of privacy. It is in a great location - close enough to walk to anywhere in Key West. Michel was also very helpful with tips to make our stay in Key West enjoyable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Fort Lauderdale Weston; City: Weston Broward County Florida; Review: While planning our vacation to Southern Florida - we were a little nervous about what to expect. This Courtyard was in a safe location and was clean. Although, it seemed extremely busy in the lobby with people - it was quiet when you were in your room. The people at the front desk were very friendly and helpful.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ocean Pointe Suites at Key Largo; City: Tavernier Key Largo Florida Keys Florida; Review: Ocean Pointe Resort is a beautiful property and well maintained. Unfortunately, the unit that we stayed in was dated. Also, the cleaning of the unit was very poor. We found cheese on the stove and there were crumbs on a dresser...along with hair and dirt on the floor. We cleaned up and made do...we are not hard to please. the space of in the unit was great - it just needed updating.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: La Quinta Inn Suites Belgrade Bozeman Airport; City: Belgrade Montana; Review: We spent a night here because we had an early morning flight. We had a room in the "basement" - but the room was clean and had a window. If we didn't know - we would have thought we were upstairs. I was a little concerned with the hotel being so close to a truck stop...but it was extremely quiet. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Tucson Airport; City: Tucson Arizona; Review: It was our first time to Tucson and we stayed here for 3 days. The room was clean and the grounds were nice. Being close to the airport, I thought we would hear alot of noise - but it was quiet. The breakfast was what I expected for a hotel and we had no issues with it. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Apparently they have a social hour in the evenings, we did not attend any of them, due to the fact that we were out until dark every night exploring Tucson. It did seem like we spent at least a half hour in the car to get anywhere in Tucson. The only negative was that they only had one washer/dryer on the premise for visitors to use and it seemed that they were always in use. But, we would stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Rancho Grande; City: Wickenburg Arizona; Review: We only stayed one night, after a Spring training game. Because of the game being at night it was dark when we arrived and finding our room was a little confusing. We stayed in one of the King suites - which was probably a small 1 bedroom house at one time. The kitchen was actually a galley eat-in kitchen. But, there was plenty of room, quiet and it was clean, although you could tell the room was dated. Walking over to the office in the morning for breakfast we were able to see the grounds - which we found very nice and inviting. Breakfast was typical of what you would find in any hotel. We would stay here again, when in the area - probably not in a king suite, though.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Aquarius Casino Resort BW Premier Collection; City: Laughlin Nevada; Review: We stayed here on our way down from Vegas to Tucson. It is a neat area along the Colorado. The property was clean and well kept. Upon arrival we were disappointed with the customer service person who checked us in, she seemed to be preoccupied with something else. Never asked us if this was our first time in the area, did not give us any information about the resort - just pointed us to the elevators to get to our room. I just figured she was having a bad day. But once we were in our room - there was no information about restaurants, pool hours, area attractions, etc. Maybe because we came from Vegas, I expected too much. We did eat at the buffet is was okay, but I have eaten at better ones. I will say when we were playing the slots the beverage service women was very friendly, efficient and nice. The price was a bargain and I would consider staying here again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Far View Lodge; City: Mesa Verde National Park Colorado; Review: The Far View Lodge may be in a National Park - but the room was much better than other lodges we have stayed at before. We had a Kiva room with two double beds and there was plenty of room for the two of us. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Each room has a bacolony with a view. We were fortunate enough to have deer bedding down below our room - they were fun to watch. (Be mindful that there is NO tvs in the rooms and Verizon wireless service is not good in Mesa Verde.); Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Acme Oyster House; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Follow the hype on this one - Acme is a must try! I tried a few different restaurants which claimed to have "the best oysters in town", Acme won by the far! We started dinner off with a corn and crab bisque. It was filled with crab meat, the soup texture was perfect, and the flavor was fantastic. This was the soup of the day, sadly they won't have it offered it every day. Next, we ordered the chargrilled oysters and let me tell y'all - they're a must try! The oysters were full of flavor and came fresh and hot. The peace maker po boy (contains shrimp and oysters) was also very delicious. The batter they fried the meat in was perfectly seasoned, also their mayo Tabasco sauce compliments the sandwich very well. The service was good, we had a very friendly waiter. He was great! The atmosphere of the restaurant had a cool bar-ish vibe. The food did take a while to arrive but it was well worth the wait. Also, be aware there will be a line out the door! It doesn't move quick either but again, the food is well worth the wait. I enjoyed my experience here, highly recommend eating dinner or lunch here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Nashville-Downtown; City: Nashville, TN; Review: I usually stay at Hilton whether I'm traveling for work or pleasure. This experience has definitely changed that, I am very disappointment. Do not stay here! The bathtub did not drain well, you basically took a bath and a shower at the same time because it filled up so darn quickly. There was no fridge in the room. We had a 15th century coffee maker, with only decaf coffee! When I asked for regular (caffeinated) coffee, the staff replied "I can get you some but I'd have to go all the way downstairs" ummm okay?! And house keeping kept putting Keurig cups in our room, I asked around and apparently everybody else on our floor had a Keurig. Room service knocks on the door every morning, yes even if you have the "DO NOT DISTURB" sign outside your door. It was very annoying, while I'm on vacation the last thing I want to do is wake up early. I am trying to relax but there was nothing relaxing about my stay at this terrible hotel. During check out, our receipt had $30 charge per night for valet parking when we didn't even park our car with them... After asking the front desk to take off the charges they said with an attitude "ugh next time you should notify us before" instead of apologizing. Which is ridiculous, it's YOUR job to charge customers properly not the customers' responsibility. I don't work at the Hilton, thank you. I only give them 2 stars instead of 1 because SOME of their staff was friendly and their live music at the bar was good. You can stay anywhere else in Downtown Nashville (even closer to Broadway) for the same price. The only reason I chose this hotel is because I'm a HHonors member but never again. Also, I am a gold member and I did not receive any upgrade upon check in which is odd considering they do that at most hotels. I'm so disappointed in Hilton right now, my experience was just unacceptable.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Monell's Dining & Catering; City: Nashville, TN; Review: This place is so homey and cute! There's also a gorgeous garden area out front. I had a wonderful experience here, everybody should definitely try it at least once. I also met many great people at the table - I'll explain how later. The food is southern soul style: Mac and cheese, mash potatoes, fried chicken, green beans, biscuits, gravy, corn bread, corn pudding, chicken dumplings, salad, and pecan pie. Everything was delicious, and homemade. Their fruit tea was amazing. So this restaurant is "family style". You sit at a big table of 12 and share large plates of each dish (passing to the left). It's all you can eat, once a plate is empty, they ask if you would like new entrees. The best part about this set up is you start eating as soon as you sit down. You also leave with a few new friends because of the seating style. It was wonderful speaking to different people from all over America during dinner. All in all, this place is awesome! It feels like Sunday dinner at grandma's house with a bunch of family.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Margaritaville - Nashville; City: Nashville, TN; Review: Like the name suggests, there are wonderful margaritas available here! Also, I love Jimmy Buffett's song so it was awesome to be inside one of the locations. As soon as we sat at the bar, we were greeted by the Bartender and he promptly checked on us during our entire time at Margaritaville. We had the Margarita flight for $15.75, all the samples were delicious. I ended up drinking their frozen mango margarita with an extra shot, yum! They had live music the entire time we were there drinking. The ladies performing did a fabulous job, very talented! I purchased a margaritaville shirt that says "take life with a lime, salt and tequila" - love it! It was a little over priced $25 but I still got it haha. The bathrooms were clean which is always a plus. All in all, I had a wonderful time!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The District Coffee House; City: Boise, ID; Review: Coffee was really good here! They were able to make me a honey lavender latte which was so amazingly delicious. My husband got the matcha latte and he loved it as well. I like how spread out all the tables are, it was a good atmosphere. I give them 4 stars because the lady that took our order was rude and unwelcoming. Still tipped her because she killed it on the coffee and that's what I came for. Maybe she was having an off day.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tupelo Honey; City: Boise, ID; Review: My husband and I stopped by for brunch and I am so happy we made that decision. They have some of the best fried chicken breast I've had in a long time! So when you order, get something with that in it and thank me later. I ordered the fried chicken and biscuits, it was delicious. The gravy was creamy and paired so nicely with the chicken and biscuits. My husband ordered the avocado chicken sandwich (with fried chicken) and that was literally out of this world. The best meal ever! For the side, the cracklin potatoes are great (baked potato that is cut up then deep fried). The restaurant was nicely decorated, the bathrooms were clean and the servers were great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Polk Audio PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer (Single, Black); Brand: Polk Audio; Review: I have purchased this sub based on the outstanding reviews. I received it and worked perfectly for few days. Then, I left for a vacation. Came back after a month turned it on, ooops, the sub has a very audible tweet. I called Amazon they told me it was beyond the 30 day period and I had to call Polk Audio directly. I did, and then I was truly impressed with this company. Things can go wrong in manufacturing, and you can get the occasional flawed product. That is quite acceptable. But when you call the company and they ship a new sub to your door, and it arrives two days later, that is impressive. Great sub, great service, highly deserved five stars.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sling Media Slingbox PRO-HD SB300-100 (Old Version); Brand: Sling Media; Review: I bought it four-five years ago. Yes, it was just out. Used it since then without major problems. Two things to watch for: 1- If it goes bad most likely it is the power adapter. Mine had to be replaced twice. Once when it was under warranty and a second time I paid for it ($19.99, which is not bad). The symptoms were not obvious. The lights were flashing and all, but the device was unreachable. So it is hard to track it down to the adapter. But if you buy a new one, there is a good chance that your box will be in action again. I also found out that excessive heat may harm your adapter. Try not to have your box and the adapter in a closed cabinet with other electronic devices, as it often the case. 2- The set up it not straight forward. If you use their method (without going and setting permissions in the router) it is much more convenient. The trick is, when you want to reset your device, you have to do a hardware reset first (from the back of the box a tiny red push in pin) and start fresh. That will make things much easier. Other than that, it is really very useful and works as advertised. I wish they had HDMI, sigh!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Nyrius ARIES Home HDMI Digital Wireless Transmitter & Receiver for HD 1080p Video Streaming, Cable box, Satellite, Bluray, DVD,; Brand: Nyrius; Review: Plug and play and very easy to set up. Originally I attempted a distance of 40' across two floors and three rooms using one pair, it did not work. There was pixelation and intermittent interruptions and the image was grainy. Then, I bought two pairs. I used one between the first and second floors with a separation of about 13'. The second is used between two rooms, two walls in between, at a distance of 28'. The upstairs pair had no communication problems. The pair that transmits across floors needed some attention in terms of alignment and pointing. Now in the second week of operation and everything works flawlessly. I compared with actual hard wired connection, I could not see a noticeable drop in quality. Finally, the infrared (IR) transmitter is very handy and you can use the remote of the device that you are transmitting from (Satellite box, cable box, etc.) as it was sitting in front of you in the other room. I recommend this product if you have an application that does not require a large separation and more than two walls between the transmitter and the receiver.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Onkyo TX-NR809 THX Certified 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver (Discontinued by Manufacturer); Brand: Onkyo; Review: As many note here, it worked very nice for about one year, then one week after the warranty expired it died (no audio). I called Onkyo, the person who answered was nice and told me that they have a grace period of 45 days and that they will honor the warranty anyway. That was great! Then, I emailed the information about the unit to their service department as requested. After few weeks I received an email requesting the information again. I replied and emailed the information again. Since then, it has been three weeks, dead silence, no reply to my email that I requested an update. Whenever you call their warranty center you are told that there are no agents online and to leave a message. Very disappointed with Onkyo, supposedly a reputable company. I am going to stay away from their products, I recommend you do the same.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Dell Inspiron 3050 I3050-4427BLK Micro Mini Desktop Computer (Intel Celeron J1800 2.41 GHz, 2GB, 32GB Solid State Drive, Windows; Brand: Dell; Review: This is a great device for media streaming. I do not think it will be a good replacement for your desktop, but for the price you cannot expect it to be one either. I was able to upgrade to Windows 10, with little help from Dell support. I use it in my media room without a problem, and eliminate paying bunch of money to the cable company for a new box.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Raven Warrior (Tales of Guinevere); Author: Visit Amazon's Alice Borchardt Page; Review: This was an incredibly disappointing and silly book! I recently picked up "The Dragon Queen" at the library and found it to be a nice addition to all the Guinevere-Arthur-Merlin genre (which - I have to admit - I am a real sucker for - and hence why I continued to read this book after the first 50 pages). Unfortunately, I have to agree with most of the other reviews about "The Raven Warrior" - this book is choppy, confusing, filled w/ ridiculous fantastical events and over-the-top silly sex scenes, not to mention bland language & meandering stories. Because she skipped around so much from character to character, and because she was following too many characters, it was easy to get lost as to the many story lines. If you're expecting a continuation of The Dragon Queen, this book does not provide it. Instead, the writing seems to be almost totally unrelated to the stories/characters in that book. I've never read a Harlequin romance, but I would imagine some scenes to be comparable in depth and substance. There were times when I felt embarrassed both for (a) myself for actually reading the book & (b) for the author for putting pen to paper!!!! I can't help but wonder why Borchardt felt she had to embellish this novel so outrageously. Perhaps she decided to follow her sister's writing style (Rice's Vampire Chronicles - which I've never read)? Whatever she was thinking, it was really a failure. Where were her editors?; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Blood of the Fold (Sword of Truth, Book 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Terry Goodkind Page; Review: I am half-way through Blood of the Fold, and find myself absolutely disappointed -- not to mention bewildered & embarrassed that I've read so far into this silly series. I have to admit that I enjoyed the first two books (w/ some exceptions when they were rather over the top). Unfortunately, the Blood of the Fold is painfully slow, and so much of the story is downright absurd. As many of the other reviewers have mentioned, the book repeats the same themes from the first two books over and over again (primarily evil psychotic beings controlling sadistic "tools," or the tortured-kind-hearted woodsman with unbelievable potential who just wants to go home or see his True Love, etc.). So when I realized I was feeling rather perplexed as to how I got suckered into this series, I decided to take a look at reader reviews to figure out what went wrong. In doing so, I came across one review -- and felt my jaw drop when I read in defense of the Blood of the Fold, "You will not see nasty words, vulgarity, incest (unlike some series), porno, or any kind of depravity in the name of literature [in this book]. This series touches on some violence and deals with real world issues..." I am sorry - but those statements don't represent this book whatsoever. In fact, I am at a loss how the reviewer even read the same series I did. The amount of redundant, glorifying, silly-yet-sick violence in this book is absurd. As the story drones on and on with new obstacles & evil beings trying to kill Richard and Kahlen, gore & guts are thrown in every chapter in the absence of anything really happening. Action scenes are primarily taken up with women being raped and tortured, men and women being torn to pieces by evil beings (including humans)... the list goes on. Bottomline, the story is itself tortured - with the main character, Richard, now an unbearably silly man, and the antagonists all evil to the core, or psychotic and blood thirsty. The stereotypes are endless.... Sadly, I agree with so many of the negative comments about this book. Basically, really poor writing & character development for the most part; although I enjoyed some of the story surrounding the Sisters of the Light at the Palace this time around - at least this far into the book. Perhaps things will get better in the 2d half when Kahlen comes back, but from what the reviews have stated, it's unlikely. Of course, I guess we've got to give Goodkind some credit for keeping with the series ... on and on and on... page after page.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
