Title: Forever with You; Author: Visit Amazon's Jennifer L. Armentrout Page; Review: I absolutely adore how all their lives connect in a real way.

Title: This is Spider-Man Level 1 Reader (World of Reading); Author: Visit Amazon's Thomas Macri Page; Review: The kindle version is distorted. The words are cut off and go over the pictures making it hard to read. There is a huge black bar cutting into the page.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Cuisinart DGB-700BC Grind & Brew 12 Cup Coffeemaker, Chrome; Brand: Cuisinart; Review: If you are ok with it working for just a year or so this coffee maker is for you. Our first one lasted just under a year, they were nice enough to warranty it and send us a replacment that is why the 2 stars vs 1. However second is now a big expensive regular coffe maker, grind capability is gone. Controls are complex, in my opinion. Havent flipped it over yet, but sure it is made in China, nuff said.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Keurig B70 Platinum Brewing System; Brand: Keurig; Review: These come in many many different models and colors so you have to look around a bit for good reviews. We had one and I wanted to hold off for a little while to write the review, we have had one for over a year. This is a very trendy device and people seem to really like them in there kitchens they do also look pretty cool, but,,,,, The coffee that comes out is just not that good, it tastes about like coffee from a machine at a bowling alley. Not kidding, I don't know how people can ignore this. There is also the big thrill of beeing able to shop for about a hundred different 'crappy' flavors. The final straw is that they are cheaply made (like most everything these days) in China and expect it to last about a year or so. If you are going to spend the money definelty get the extended warranty. Hope this helps save some people some money.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Simon's Hook; A Story About Teases and Put-downs; Author: Visit Amazon's Karen Gedig Burnett Page; Review: As a third grade teacher I am always looking for quality books to read to my students. This book attracted me because it teaches children that how they react or respond to teasing and bullying, makes the difference. There is no way to rid the world of bullies so we need to teach our children specific skills for how to deal with these situations. This book delivers big time! I used the ideas and phrases from the book throughout the entire school year whenever teasing or bullying became an issue. My students only needed a gentle reminder of the skills they learned and they would smile and deal with it themselves. Empowering our children by teaching them strong skills, rather than hateful attitudes is imperative. Several other teachers at my school have borrowed my copy of "Simon's Hook" and after seeing the great results, they've purchased their own copies.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: What Alice Forgot: From the bestselling author of Big Little Lies, now an award winning TV series; Author: Visit Amazon's Liane Moriarty Page; Review: This book was compelling all the way through! I don't like predictable plots (like Hallmark movies) but this had so many twists that I didn't see many things coming. The characters are carefully woven throughout the plot. They are not so complex that it's hard to keep track of them but developed enough that you feel you know them. Even with my busy life, which doesn't allow a lot of time for pleasure reading, I couldn't put this down. I took it with me everywhere just to sneak in extra reading minutes! I look forward to reading more by this author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wonder; Author: R J PALACIO; Review: I read this to my 3rd grade students. They absolutely loved it and keep referring to the characters just about every day.

Title: Hotel Blumental Murren; City: Murren Jungfrau Region Bernese Oberland Canton of Bern; Review: We stay their "CHALET BLUMENTAL" for 1 nite only in 19 - 20 OCT 2010 which is behind block of the Hotel. We love our room (ground floor) very much and really enjoy our stayed. Brand new chalet, non-smoking. Friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast buffet, beautiful views of the Alps and great location. A man and a women (i think is the owner and his wife) both greeting us when we reach there. They are very friendly and their service was perfect. This is the only Swiss Hotel we stayed which had LCD screen TV. Everything is perfect and conveniences. You can find their local supermarket COOP opposite the Hotel (they closed during lunch hour). If you tired of SWISS FOOD or never had a delicious meal in your trip..You must have diner in their hotel restaurant. The food is delicious, especially the LAMB FILLET and PORK CHOP....very juicy and word really can't describe the delicious taste. The R. Manager was very friendly and very nice to talked to him, he also recommended best Italian Wine to us. I can't forget this candle light diner in this Swiss Trip and it worth for money although we spent CHF104 for 2 soups, 2 main course, half litter Red Wine, 1 coffee and 1 dessert. Due to low seasons and snowing, many shops and hotels are closed and their Maintenance Schilthorn Cableway to Schilthorn 007 will closed from 26th - 30th April 2010, 8th Nov - 3rd Dec 2010, Maintenance Allmendhubel funicular: 19th Apr - 4th Jun 2010, 18th Oct - 3rd Dec 2010. You must check their timetable from their website. For sure, we will back to Murren and Bluemental Chalet again...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Allegra; City: Kloten; Review: We went to Swiss 16 days 14 nites from 7 to 23 OCT and chosen this hotel as our 1st stay and final 2 stays after we traveled to other regions.. Due to our reach Zurich 8:30am, we had their confirmation email for allow us to check in earlier. We met the friendly and helpful driver of the hotel shuttle service. He was very nice even he cant speak or know English. But, at least he keep smiling. When we reach hotel with our happy and excited, there is a white lady (in black shirt and pant) from the reception counter was very unfriendly and talked to us in very rude and never greet us at all. Initially she don't allow us to check in earlier even we show the email to her. After few calls she made, she let us check in BUT she keep show her angry face to us. I found out she might be the highest position in the reception counter. We met few staff all are friendly and helpful except her. SHE really spoiled our 1st day. The room is okay but i think we can have other hotel which is cheaper than this hotel. The hotel looks like a 3 stars instead of 4 stars. Their stay excluded breakfast and you need to pay CHF9/pax for choices of bread and beverage only(w/o meat) or CHF18/pax with meat like ham. Their buffet breakfast really EXPENSIVE and not much variety. I think the room charge and breakfast both are overpriced and not worth to money. I think they charged so high it is just because of their convenience location for airport (7 - 8mins by shuttle), railway station (behind hotel), supermarket (opposite hotel) and 4 stops to town by railway. Other than that, no special reasons to choose this hotel. I won't choose it again if i back to Zurich again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bayman Hotel; City: Datong Taipei; Review: Is a renovated hotel. Big, clean and modern type Family room with two queen size beds and Windows(Tips: need to mentioned room have window during booking).Enjoyed our 3 nights stay, friendly and helpful staffs. They allowed us to keep our two big luggages in their luggage stores after we check out to other places and come back collect the next few days.7-8 mins walking distances to Q Square which linked to Taipei Main Station, 5 mins walking distance to NingXia Night Market. No lift in this hotel, but staff help us to carry luggage up to 3rd floor.Check out time is 10am, too early and no breakfast provided.No cloths hanger in toilet.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Makers Hotel; City: Seoul; Review: After our Jeju trip, we travelled from Gimpo Airport to this hotel by subway with our 4 yrs old girl and 2 big 28" luggages. Luckily, this hotel is located next to the Exit 4 of Jongno 3(Sam)ga Station 종로3가역 (Purple Line 5). There are many restaurants and convenience stores nearby the hotel. All tourists destinations are also within walking distance, example Ikseon-dong, Insa-dong, Ssamziegil 쌈지길, Changdeokgung Palace(Huwon- Secret Garden), Bukchon Hanok Village, Jogyesa Temple조계사. When we reached the hotel, we are so excited that the hotel and room definitely same as their website and photos. Their friendly and helpful staffs also warmed our hearts. We booked a Standard Triple Room which have 1 single bed and 1 bunk bed (double deck) attached with big bathroom. We were aware that only this type of room NO TELEVISION before we reserve the room. Hopefully, the hotel management can consider to have a TV in this room type too. The room and bathroom are very clean and comfortable. They also have a new cafe at B1, serving simple breakfast buffet cost KRW8,000 per pax. Bread, Cheese, ham, cornflakes, tomato soup, biscuits in packets, refillable coffee n tea. Overall we're very glad to stay this hotel and sure will choose it again if we back to Seoul. It's worth for money!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: M Stay Hotel Jeju; City: Seogwipo Jeju Island; Review: After long journey from Incheon Airoort - Gimpo Airport - Jeju Airport (total 8hrs) then 1hr airport limousine bus 600 to this hotel.Only 3mins walking from the bus stop to this Hotel. A convenience store 7-11 and a cafe both attached with the Hotel. We reached the hotel 5:30pm, many group tourists were there for check in too. All their staff tended a fast and good serviced, we are glad the whole process only 5mins. We booked a standard twin bed room for 3 nights, we surprised to get a queen size bed with a single bed in a spacious room. The room is clean and bright, definitely worth for money. The hotel is located near some tourists destination and restaurants. Yes, we will recommend to our friends.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Braugasthof Lobisser Gasthof; City: Hallstatt Upper Austria; Review: Our first meal in Hallstatt. Nice ambience, friendly staff and Food is good and big portion. But, a little bit salty(I think all food in Hallstatt taste salty) because we feel thirsty after this meal. Price is reasonable and they have indoor and outdoor. We didn't know most of the shops included supermarket and restaurants in Hallstatt are closing by 5pm or 6pm. After the Salt Mine tour, is 6pm and we can't find any food.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Zaan Inn; City: Zaandam North Holland Province; Review: My 6 years old daughter love this hotel very much. Never regret to choose a Family Suite after we’ve done a price comparison and found that it’s not much different between all room types. We are 2 adults with a kid to stayed in this modern, spacious and cleanliness Family Suite. It included a living hall with sofa double bed, a kitchen with microwave, partial kitchen stuffs (can request from the reception), a big washroom and a bedroom with a comfortable twin beds. From Zaandam Station, 5 mins walking on right side is a big supermarket and an outdoor car park before you can reach the hotel. On left side, you can see many amazing architecture buildings and the shopping area of Zaandam City Center. We chose this hotel not only the price reasonable but it was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the Amsterdam City. By direct train, it’s take 17mins to Airport and 15mins to Amsterdam Centraal Station. But, this two routes are excluded from I Amsterdam Card if you have this card. You need to purchase the day return ticket from the ticket machine or ticket counter, or purchase the Amsterdam and Regional Travel tickets. We were so lucky that we save more money on our transportation after advised by the friendly and knowledgeable hotel reception staff. Really appreciated the service rendered to us. Overall, we have a pleasant stay with this hotel and definitely would highly recommended to everyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Iclub Wan Chai Hotel; City: Hong Kong; Review: Most of the Hong Kong island hotels are very expensive and small spaces. We booked this iClub WanChai Hotel thru Booking.com. and their room are worth for money. Have 2 twin beds, a sofa bed (not much space for walking), a small kitchen with coffee machine & microwave. Easy to reach and travel around by public transportation such as MTR, airport shuttle, bus and tram. They have their friendly staff and we enjoyed our stays in this Hotel. Only one thing they need to improve is their pillow too soft and not firm at all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Slipstreamer S-06C Motorcycle Windshield, Clear; Brand: Slipstreamer; Review: Excellent little windscreen. I really like these because they're not big and obtrusive. They actually really help cut the side to side as well as head-on winds at 75 or 80 miles an hour. They also quiet down the wind noise a little bit. I like it adjusted about chin level for me. That way I can view the road without the windshield but if my face is getting getting beaten by the wind I can just lower my head a little bit. It's not very sick complex but it's thick enough to do the trick. Very easy to install. Took me 10 minutes.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: ZPC Battery ZPC-YTX14-BS High Performance Maintenance Free Sealed AGM Motorcycle Battery; Brand: ZPC Battery; Review: Just received this battery and it looks pretty good out-of-the-box. When putting it in it didn't quite exactly fit but with a little elbow grease I was able to widget into place. I didn't like the terminals however because it had the old-fashioned barrel type nut that the bolt has to connect into. I mean it does what it's supposed to its just not as convenient as a better battery. My hope is that I get at least three years out of it. At the price with free shipping I would be happy with that timeframe. Batteries plus wanted $89. So at this price it's a good deal. UPDATE: unfortunately, the battery died before the 24 month mark. A huge amount of corrosion had built up on the neg terminal,( probably from a crack in the casing itself) the entire terminal broke loose from the battery casing. Rendering the battery totally useless. I'm downgrading the battery two two stars. Beware if you buy this battery to make sure and stay on top of the terminals being clean. Had I done that I probably could have gotten another year or so out of it because power-wise it was doing the job just fine. You get what you pay for.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Krator HH009-C Rest (Honda Front Chrome Ace Spirit Magna Shadow Phantom Stiletto Motorcycle Foot Pegs Left+Right); Brand: Krator; Review: These pegs are really nice looking. Great triple chrome plating and nice foot surface. Unfortunately, whoever designed these made installation really ridiculous. Instead of using a simple setscrew for adjustment , they use a bolt inside which isn't secure and leaves the peg floating to spin. They're almost impossible to tighten. I tried soldering the bolt on the inside to keep it stationary and wound up wrecking the bolt now I can't use them at all. I don't see how even once they're installed you could ever stop the pegs from turning from vibration or just regular use. I have much better things to worry about then having to tighten the foot pegs on my motorcycle every couple of weeks or so. I would avoid these and look for something else. There's a million different pegs on the market that work just fine. Very disappointed. And out 40 bucks. I should've paid closer attention to these reviews that I read.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

I went on YouTube and gave the information of my make model and year and there was a guy who shows how to program them. It took all of about 45 seconds. Well worth the money. Always nice to have an extra remote in case you forget your keys are locked them inside.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dragway Tools 1100 LB Wide Deck Motorcycle Center Scissor Lift Jack Hoist Stand Bikes ATVs; Brand: Dragway Tools; Review: this lift is incredible. First off, it's super heavy duty. The thing must weigh 60 pounds by itself. It has a nice rubber protective pad for going underneath places that you don't want scratched. It's scissors up very nicely with a ratchet. Very smooth. Has a great weight capacity. It looks my 1100 Honda like a feather. Well worth the money.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: YTX12-BS High Performance - Maintenance Free - Sealed iGel Motorcycle Battery; Brand: Chrome Battery; Review: I'm starting this review off with a 4-star rating. I bought one of these batteries a couple of years ago and it failed after about 22 months. I updated my review on that product. I'm starting this one off at 4 stars because like the last battery it seemed like a decent product for the money. I prefer the terminals to be solid lead which these are not but they should still perform well. Keep your eye on the battery terminals every 6 months or so. Corrosion will build up on the negative terminal. Had I caught this on my previous battery 6 months ago, I wouldn't have had to buy another one. The corrosion got so bad so quick that when I tried to remove the screw to the terminal the whole post ripped right out of the battery casing itself. The other battery still seemed to have plenty of power so longevity wasn't really the issue there. This battery also comes with a really nice built-in meter on top. You can see the voltage right out of the box. When I pressed it it measured 13.1 volts. It also has a day counter that you can activate. Really nice little feature. I'll update this in a year or so. For now though, feels like a pretty good deal for the money.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Automotive |

Title: Grupotel Playa Camp de Mar; City: Camp De Mar Majorca Balearic Islands; Review: My husband and I could not fault this hotel, the Rooms were comfortable and clean, the maid did a great job. The food and resturant service was exceptional, I particularly enjoyed the gala dinner, the sweets were excellent and I loved the chocolate fountain, a very nice touch. Like a large number of people we found ourselves getting up at 7.30 to join the sun bed challenge, if you can't beat them join them !! At the end off the day at least you knew you could choose in the area of your choice to enjoythe pool or a more secluded area. You could still get a sun bed later in the day but if you wanted a choice you need to be up bright and early. We do sit on the sunbeds unlike some who book a days golf or go off on an excersion but put there towels out for later when they get back. A bit selfish don't you think. But each to his own. I personally would have like to see something in the bar after the evening entertainment was over. Not everyone wants to be in bed by 11.00 especially when your on your holiday. Overall we would recomend the hotel, but again for me personally I prefer a resort with a little more available. Bars resturants shops etc. if it's a relaxing holiday in a lovely hotel you are after then this is the place for you.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Devon Inn Hotel; City: Templeglantine County Limerick; Review: We recently stayed at the Devon Inn at a family get together, my husband and I have visited the hotel many times over the past 20 years. We find the hotel warm and friendly. Yes the rooms are a little dated and would benefit from some TLC but this did not take away from our enjoyment. A major plus point was the high pressure from the shower it nearly blew me over this was great,very refreshing, I don't think I have ever been in such a powerful shower. Another plus point was the food, the full Irish breakfast is filling and well prepared, the evening meals are excellent, I particularly enjoyed the baked crusted cod with mash potatoes and the daily roast (lamb) was amazingly. The puddings were super too ... the staff generally were very friendly and could not do enough to make you feel welcome. Would recomend this hotel to anyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bexleyheath Marriott Hotel; City: Bexleyheath Greater London England; Review: Myself and a group of friends enjoyed a meal and a Christmas dance at the Marriott hotel last week. The DJ covered all the latest tunes along with a selection of eighties classics, along with the obligatory set of grease tunes. There is always room for "Grease lightning "......the meal was okay , came up nice and hot and the service was very good , our waitresses were very friendly, the vegitarian main meal was a little sparse. A large mushroom and a slice of leek, a roast potatoe would have been nice and made the meal a little more filling. The puddings were lovely thought. Would definitely think about booking again next year.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grupotel Gran Vista Spa; City: Ca n Picafort Majorca Balearic Islands; Review: We stayed at the gran vista for a few days, we had a very comfortable and relaxing time. From the first welcome at the reeption to the last day everyone was very helpful & friendly . The hotel is kept very clean and presentable, the room ( ours was on the first floor. Overlooking the roof of the resturant, not the best view, but nice and quite) was small but nicely fitted out and very smart. Nice lighting and decor. The food was again nicely presented with a good selection, plenty of seating inside and our. Very pleasant staff. To my surprise there were plenty of sunbeds and room to lay out in the well kept lawns and out side spaces if u wanted an umbrella and a bed by the top pool u did have to get out in the morning a bit sharpish, other wise u could easily get a sunbed any time of day. The pools are large and very easy to get in and out with easy access either by a gentle slop or stairs. Special area for the children. We didn't use the spar but it looked very inviting. The roof top bar was also very special. Would recomend this hotel to families and groups of friends and couples of all ages. When we arrived home we found we hadn't handed in the keys or our towel coupons, the lovely man on reception was so kind in wishing us a good journey home he forgot to take them from me.. Also forgot to say lots of shops and bars very close to the hotel and a short walk to the beach.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mill Rythe Holiday Village; City: Hayling Island Hampshire England; Review: Really enjoyed my stay hear the Mill Rythe , the entertainment was great, the comedians were really funny.

Title: 5-Pack Quilting Bee 45mm Rotary Cutter Refill / Replacement Blades (RB4505); Brand: Quilting Bee; Review: Fabulous customer service from Quilting Bee. I originally thought this blade wasn't staying sharp for very long. Quilting Bee called me to ask why I thought their blade was not retaining its edge, The day before they called, I realized that my first blade had been in my rotary cutter for almost 6 weeks, and had been used just about every day for many projects in that time. I had placed a new blade in my cutter and realized that I was trying to use the blade longer than was practical. I learned an important lessen in that I was using much too much effort to cut and should be more aware of how long and how often I am using a blade. Quilting Bee's prices are reasonable and I won't hesitate to change my blade next time when it needs it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: AB WHEEL; Brand: Valeo; Review: I love my ab wheel. It works your abs, pecs, and upper body and leaves them feeling tight and toned.

Title: Speedo Vanquisher 2.0 Mirrored Swim Goggle; Brand: Speedo; Review: I LOVED these goggles... while they lasted. The mirroring and shape is very stylish, the rubber straps don't snag your hair, and they don't let in any water. However, one of the loops that the nose pieces attach to broke off, probably because I just used them SO much. Worth it only if you don't use them a ton :\; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Black Mountain Products Resistance Band Set with Door Anchor, Ankle Strap, Exercise Chart, and Resistance Band Carrying Case; Brand: Black Mountain; Review: This is a pretty decent set of resistance bands. The only thing I would change about it, is that the band themselves are a little bit long. When you put the attachments on them, they are too long to do some of the exercises I would like to do. I have tried to tie the bands in knots to remedy this, but they are very hard to untie, so I try to avoid doing that. Also, if you call the company after you get your package, they will send you a free orange band, which is even stronger than the strongest band in this pack. That was a nice little bonus!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Sports_and_Outdoors |

Title: Rox Hotel; City: Aberdeen Aberdeenshire Scotland; Review: My friend had pre-booked an area for the whole party to sit and enjoy a glass of Prosecco on arrival. When the first of us arrived, we were informed by the receptionist that no space was available as there was a wedding party in, and a "hen party" too. My friend was instantly upset as she had paid a deposit of £75 for the booking. Finally an area which was able to seat less than half the guests was cleared, but it was not done to our satisfaction. My friend was left feeling disappointed at the beginning of her party. The food however was excellent, and the lady who waited our table was lovely, but the gent who was serving at the bar became rude at the end of the evening as there was a miscommunication over the payment. It was unnecessary for him to be like this, as we were given the run-around by other hotel staff as to where we should pay the bill.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Aparthotel Sunny Beach; City: Benalmadena Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: We stayed here at the end of Sept. this year and loved the location of our apartment. We were in the annex with our balcony looking straight out onto the beach and the Windmill roundabout. The apartment was a little dated in terms of a lick of paint required, but had everything we needed. Separate bedroom, bathroom, living/dining room and small kitchen. We were only there for a week, but hope to go back next year for a fortnight. In the week we were there the apartment was cleaned twice and the bed sheets changed twice too. Plenty of towels in the bathroom and shower over the bath. Excellent value for money, and due to an early flight we had to leave in the middle of the night...this was no problem to the staff who arranged our taxi. As the other reviewers have said, the location is fantastic and close to bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets. Would definitely go back and hope to get the same apartment.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Carmelite; City: Aberdeen Aberdeenshire Scotland; Review: Was invited to a party night here on December 22nd, and thought we would be in the main hall as our party had 12 people. Instead we were stuck in a small area of the bar, the food was just average and the alcohol expensive! It was a real shame as we were all looking forward to an excellent evening :( Personally I believe they had over-stretched themselves by taking too many bookings. I had been there for lunch before and it was lovely so can't understand the dramatic change :(; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Redgarth; City: Oldmeldrum Aberdeenshire Scotland; Review: We booked for 3 people for dinner one Saturday night having been here before. The food was amazing, however, I felt bad as the portion sizes are huge and I could not eat everything on the plate and I hate to waste food :( The portion sizes/prices could be reduced as the quality of the food is excellent. The staff are very friendly and can not do enough for you. I would certainly consider going back, but could not eat for the whole day before having dinner there :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Betania; City: Benalmadena Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: The location of this hotel was great for us but may be an issue to people with mobility problems as there is a steep hill to climb up from the beach/bars/restaurants on the coast. Very clean hotel with lovely staff, but the rooms are small and in an average of 28 degrees we desperately needed air conditioning but there was none. There was a ceiling fan but it really just circulated the warm air. The hotel has a wonderful terrace on the 3rd floor and a small pool and other seating places outside. We booked room only so cannot comment on the breakfast as we did not eat there, but there is no restaurant for lunch or evening meals. There are snack and drinks machines in the reception area with areas to sit on big couches and relax. A small supermarket is located just around the corner if needed. The rooms don't have fridges but the staff will put your room number on things for you and put them in a fridge for you. There was a safe in our room. The hotel provides a small computer room with access to a printer which is handy if you need to check-in online for your return flight. There is a very small cost to use this facility but worth it. It is a quiet hotel but there are plenty of places to get to in the surrounding area. The local bus and train services are cheap, reliable and clean. It only cost 6 euros for my husband and I to take the train to Malaga - that was the cost for both of us not each :) The hotel staff are happy to call the local taxi service for guests as well. If you are looking for a cheap clean location with no frills then this is it. Not sure if we will go back as the air-conditioning really was an issue but apart from that we did enjoy our stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Malaga Hotel Eliseos; City: Malaga Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: This is a little gem of a hotel right in the heart of Malaga. The staff and management are just lovely and I would highly recommend a stay here. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it is wonderfully clean and well presented in the inside. The rooms are spacious, air-conditioned and very clean. A small fridge is provided in your room for your own use. Breakfast was fantastic and only 6 euros if you hadn't already booked it. Free Wifi and a small plunge pool on the roof overlooking the Malaga bullring. Just 10 minutes walk to the beach, 10 mins from the castle and 1km through the gorgeous park and you are in city centre. Unfortunately we only had one night in the hotel, but will definitely book to go back again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ibis styles Glasgow Centre George Square; City: Glasgow Scotland; Review: We really loved this hotel and the staff were great! The location is fantastic just off George Square, so close to shops, train station and a 10 minute walk to the bus station. The bedrooms are the usual size for an Ibis and decorated beautifully. The shower room was big and bright and very clean. Breakfast was terrific and there is even a free pool table! We had a nice relaxing stay and were made to feel very welcome! We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Glasgow and I am sure we will return. Thanks Ibis Style Glasgow for a lovely time!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Durango Men's Rebel Western Boot; Brand: ; Review: I have worn plenty of boots over the years, some really comfortable (Bates, Clark, Fry, you name it). Most of all my boots have been pretty comfortable, but these are by far and away the top of a very good bunch. I bought them because they were tall enough to not bend over too far, but i could not not be happier with how they look (sweet lookin flag!) that is mostly covered when walking, but peeks out when sitting, and the width is right on, couldn't be happier with my purchase, would do it again with the price twice as much if not more. one of the best finds on amazon.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

It was written in a way that allows the reader to participate in the journey. Many stories have such an urgency that they don't allow the reader time to absorb what is unfolding. This book has such a good balance ,in that, the reader has time to think without losing the story's rhythm. Thanks to Rachel Joyce.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Sobakawa Buckwheat Pillow Free Pillow Protective Cover-Standard Size-AS Seen On Tv, 15" x 19"; Brand: Sobakawa; Review: This pillow was a gift for my husband. He was so happy to get this pillow because he had been using one just like it for a few years now and I wanted to throw the other one away because it was so old. Win, win for both of us as this one is the same and it is fresh and new. If you bought a Sobakawa Buckwheat pillow a few years ago, I will guess this one is the same and you would like it as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Teavious Tea Infuser - Stainless Steel Strainer - Loose Tea Steeper - Translucent Blue; Brand: TEAVIOUS; Review: The Teavious Tea Infuser is, well, a tea infuser. Okay, having stated the obvious, it is also cute. Let's face it, it is fun to use cute things. But, the infuser is also a great product. I like the silicone handle, no burned fingers, I like the design because, well it is cute, and I like the little "dish" to set the infuser on so that you don't have a wet spot on the counter or table. There are usually a few tea leaves in the bottom of the cup, but not enough to bother me. If you needed to give a small gift to a fellow tea drinker, this would be a great idea.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wilton 2105-6060 Perfect Results Nonstick Oblong Cake Pan, 13 by 9 by 2-Inch, Silver; Brand: Wilton; Review: This pan is the quality I expected from a Wilton Pan! Excellent!

I would definitely recommend this product.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Keeble Outlets One Dozen (12) Kitchen Dish Towels - White - High Quality, Low Lint, Professional Grade 24 oz.,; Brand: Keeble Outlets; Review: Love these towels. They are very good quality, and just what I expected them to be. I like to use the thinner towels to dry dishes. And these are also great to use as mop towels while cooking. The towels wash up nice, and dry fast in the dryer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: romatlink Breast Shell, 30 oz, Stainless Steel; Brand: romatlink; Review: Purchased this as a gift for my husband. He already had a 20oz YETI and carried it to work every day. He had mentioned wanting a larger one also. I got him this TITAN 30oz and he says it also works great! He is very happy with his gift. By the way, the blue thing that says Titan 30 oz is just an easily removable sticker. The container is stainless steel with no blue on it. I would recommend this product to anyone shopping for a stainless steel tumbler that keeps the drink nice and cold.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: 3 Piece Plastic Cutting Board Set - Small Medium and Large - Acrylic Polypropylene - Dishwasher Safe; Brand: Bellissima Kitchen; Review: Love these cutting boards!

Title: Baker`s Secret Essentials 12 Inch Pizza Pan; Brand: World Kitchen; Review: Baker's Secret makes great products. This pizza pan is no exception.

Title: Vivobarefoot Men's Ultra Pure-M; Brand: Vivobarefoot; Review: Ordered these and overall the product was great. Unfortunately I did not pay attention to the other comments and ordered my normal size. Since there's no lining, the shoes are a size too big. So do yourself a flavor and order 1 size smaller.

Title: Reebok Men's Zig Ultra Crush Running Shoe; Brand: ; Review: Prior to buying, I was worried, after reading some of the other comments, that these might be / look a bit bulky. Took a chance, was pleasantly surprised, and they fit perfectly. They're extremely comfortable. For running I normally wear New Balance Minimus MT20BC2 Trail Barefoot Trainer, which are very 'close-to-the-ground' running shoes. I also wear New Balance Minimus 1010 Trail which provide a little more support when I need it. I wanted something with more support as sometimes the lack thereof can take it's toll but didn't want them overly bulky. These fit and look great. Thinking of getting another pair before I can't find them anymore. The shoes look bulkier on the online picture than they are in real-life. If you've owned Zig shoes before these are fairly comparable, with better upgrades on material than previous Zig versions I've owned.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ZemGear H2O Low Unisex; Brand: ZEMGEAR; Review: I actually wear a 9.5 but always buy a size 10 as I don't like tight fitting shoes. I am glad these particular shoes fit snug though as they fit like a glove and provide adequate protection from sand, hot pavement, rocks, and jagged edges. I just got back from a weeklong trip to the eastern Caribbean. The first test was breaking them in at the airport. I didn't even have to remove my shoes at the security check as they look very close to socks! Next, I walked around the sandy beaches of Nassau. Swimming, walking, and running in these were great. Next, on the shopping, ferry, and beach trip to St. John USVI, they were still very comfortable. Next, the BIG test: hiking "El Yunque" in Puerto Rico. On the 'Big Tree Trailhead' I was one of the few people that was able to jump into the waterfall as just about everyone else had hiking shoes and the river has a lot of rocks, which I would NOT have entered barefoot. Finally, Grand Turk was a cinch. I also wore them on the plane ride back. I recommend but like I said previously, they fit snug and would get a 1/2 size larger (the way I did).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Joe's USA - All Sport Neon Color High Visibility Athletic T-Shirts in Sizes XS-4XL; Brand: Joe's USA; Review: First of all, it is a dri-fit shirt with a nice color but not really what I was looking for. I was hoping it'd have been performance or athletic fit but it's regular. I'm 5'8" with a 44" chest and it still fits me loose on the upper body and torso. I ordered a large. Hope this helps.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Mayfair Hotel; City: Adelaide Greater Adelaide South Australia; Review: We stayed five nights at Mayfair. I would give five stars to friendliness and helpfullness of the staff everywhere in the hotel. Also our room was fine...nothing special but it had a lot of space and bed was good. So why only average rating: the process need still to mature to reach global five star level. Restaurant was closed on a public holiday without properly informing customers, rooftop bar was open only starting late afternoon, early check out (due to very early flight) almost worked, breakfast was nothing special for the price. These may sound smallish things but at the same time they are just the few things this hotel brings up in their advertising. Friendliness of the people compensated a lot but I rated them according to my expctation based on the advertising.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong; City: Hong Kong; Review: We spent three nights in the Four Seasons. We arrived very late and had lost our luggage on yhe incoming flight. So our mood was not extremely high. However it changed quickly due to extremely friendly and professional reception in the Four Seasons. Next morning we got good advice where to get what, where to go (including bookings)...all in all everyone at the reception and at consierge was very helpful, knowledgeable and professional. All this was true also through the whole hotel, gym (great gym for a hotel!), restaurants...simply everything. Buffet breakfast is great....after that you can almost skip the lunch. Although this hotel is on the high end of price scale, we think it was still very good value.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Atlantic Hotel Lubeck; City: Lubeck Schleswig Holstein; Review: We booked Atlantic for one night quick stay. The hotel hasa great location in the Lübeck old town BUT if you drive there please check with the hotel about the instructions how best to navigate there. The hotel is really in the inner city which is full of one way streets. Once you get there the everything is just great...rooms, bar and especially breakfast. Personnel is very helpful and friendly. Reserve. The parking place in hotel garage in advance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Roxy Plaza; City: Soave Province of Verona Veneto; Review: Hotel Roxy Plaza is our standard stop in wine trip to Soave and Valpolicella. Hotel has a fantastic location close, walking distance to Soave old town and easy access to every direction by car. The hotel has also a good garage. Roxy is smallish, clean, has good breakfast and spacious rooms. Wireless internet works well. Service is friendly and English seems to be no problem. We have stayed here five times and not looking for other alternatives.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grandhotel Brno; City: Brno South Moravian Region Moravia; Review: The Grand is clean, good location, spacious rooms, well working wifi, good breakfast, well working shower and friendly, helpful service. If you need a parking place, it is important to reserve it in advance. There is though also a public parking very close. The old town is really only a few minutes walk away and si is also the railway and bus stations.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Suite Inn; City: Udine Province of Udine Friuli Venezia Giulia; Review: If you looknfor a nice place tobstay in Udine Suite Inn is worth checking: great location (10...15 min walk to city center), clean, good parking, good breakfast, very friendly and helpful people who have great recommendations and local knowledge, wifi eorked well. If you look for business center and meeting rooms this is not for you. If you look for having good time in Udine and making winery visits in Friuli this is a great base.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Meuble Villa Neve; City: Cortina d Ampezzo Province of Belluno Veneto; Review: This hotel had a great location a few minutes walk to the main street of Cortina. It was also easy to reach with a car and had a garage. The room was clean but pretty small but we did not come to Cortina to stay in the hotel room. It was perfectly ok staying. The bed was a bit soft though but as we stayed only one night it did not bother us. WIFI worked well. The breakfast was fresly made and good. Summarized it was no luxus but practical and good value. No complaints.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Park Hotel Bishkek; City: Bishkek; Review: After teo weeks on the Pamir Highway this hotel was an oasis. This is good standard business hotel and could be anywhere in the world, good shower, good bed, clean and spacious room, nice bars, all good. Service was also good but given with a serious face. Personnel spke English...so summarized everything worked. Also location was good with many major attraction within walking distance.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Victoria; City: Vyborg Vyborgsky District Leningrad Oblast Northwestern District; Review: Good, clean rooms, good bed, well working wifi, English spoken at the reception, good shower, courtyard parking and good Italian style restaurant on the 7th floor. Also the location is great. It is easy to reach whatever way you arrive in Vyborg. It is also within walking distance to most important sights of the town.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Bristol Panama Hotel; City: Panama City Panama Province; Review: Nice property, good location,very good breakfast, spacious room and bath room, well working shower, nice bar and restaurant, gym is ok equiped, staff is friendly giving good service...so why only very good and not excellent? This hotel could still improve by further improving the English skills of personnel (only few spoke fluently) beds are a bit soft, noise level was high during some nights. Food in the restaurant is ok but not wow as prices suggest. Anyway I would come here again. No need to test other hotels.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Lilla Roberts; City: Helsinki Uusimaa; Review: Thos was our first but certainly not last stay in this hotel. We were most impressed by the service: with a smile, efficient, real ”can do” attitude. When you put this together with great location in city center, nice rooms, good breakfast, nice lounge and good atmosphere, you will get Hotel Lilla Roberts.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alvear Palace Hotel; City: Buenos Aires Capital Federal District; Review: Alvear Palace is a high rated hotel and rightly so. Rooms are spacious, bed is good, bathroom has everything needed...it is just as expected from this level. Then add to this great service, fantastic breakfast, good gym, nice roof top bar and great location you get a truly great place to stay in Buenos Aires. Many nice neighbourhoods are also within a short taxi ride from the hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Piazza Bellini; City: Naples Province of Naples Campania; Review: We had a great room on the sixth floor. The room had also a big balcony with the view over the rooftops on Vesuvius and the sea. The location is great within walking distance to most important sights. Also subway station Dante is within a few minutes walk. That gives a good direct connection to the railway station. The breakfast is great and the restaurant separate but connected to the hotel is a nice place for a quick dinner. Service is friendly and professional with good practical advises. The only missing thing is a real bar but in the small lobby you can get a drink.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: City Palace Hotel; City: Tashkent Tashkent Province; Review: We spend three nights at this hotel. It is clean, rooms are spacious, bed was good, shower worked well and internet was quick. Sounds good...well, it was good. Also service was fine. People were friendly and spoke ok English. Breakfast was also good. Ypu needed though have curiosity to try different things. Also you can also change money in the exchange office in the hotel. We would go here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Emir Han; City: Samarkand Samarqand Province; Review: The hotel is on one of the big roads but still quiet although out rooms were on the road side. There was some construction going on and due to that we had water cut off one day and there was areally bad smell in the bath room. I think that when construction work is done all these problems go away and this is a very nice hotel. Breakfast is good, bed is good, internet works well, room is clean and people were really friendly and helpful like everywhere in Uzbkistan. Location of the hotel is good. You can walk to several sights. We would go back here.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Omar Khayyam Hotel; City: Bukhara Bukhara Province; Review: This is a great hotel in a good location in a wonderful city. Hotel is modern. Everything ( internet, shower, bed, service in general) worked well. Breakfast was good. All main sights in the city are within walking distance. We will go back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Imperiale Roma; City: Rome Lazio; Review: The location of Hotel Imperiale is just great. All most important sights are within walking distance and small roads are full of interesting shops, wine bars and trattorias. The staff is frindly and knowledgeable. If you fly you can book private transfers from the hotel. Breakfast is also goodas as well as the hotel restaurant for dinner. I recommend though to check the size of the room and bed by booking. We had a pretty small double room and very narrow bed for two. We would stay here again but in a bigger room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chateau Marmont; City: West Hollywood California; Review: We booked Chateau Marmont because of the history it has. The service is frindly and professional in general but the hotel itself is a bit tired. Our room was like from 30 years ago...ok, minibar was large and so was the television and music opportunities but otherwise it had seen its best days. Propably this is part of the charm for some visitors. The bathroom was very small and The only place to put your own things was on the floor. Also our room was on the first floor and it is a bit laud. If you book here, try to avoid the first floor.

Title: Moana Surfrider A Westin Resort Spa Waikiki Beach; City: Honolulu Oahu Hawaii; Review: We stayed here for a week. Our first visit to Hawaii. The location was just great and the customer service fantastic. They could recommend and organize activities for a first time Waikiki visitor. Hotel is very busy but most of the time they have enough capacity to take care of everything. There is though some waiting in line involved. The room in higher floor was with partial ocean view was nice. Enough space. The wine selection is though pretty narrow with a lot of wines from Europe but after all we did not travel there for the wine.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Grimsel Hospiz; City: Guttannen Canton of Bern; Review: We spent two nights in Grimsel Hospiz. We could have easily spent more days there. To start with the location is awesome. The hotel is equally awesome. The dinner options are great and portions are for visitors who have spent the day outdoors. The wine list is large enough and you will certainly find a wine to with your dinner choice. The options how to spend a day are also eqully great. We went e.g. to tour the Grimsel hydropowerplant... 3 km into the mountain. It totally exceeded all our expectations. Stop reading reviews...go there!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Station Amstelveen; City: Amstelveen North Holland Province; Review: We sold our home in Amstelveen and found a new home. This place is just great...our room with Hästens bed, big bathroom, great beakfast, cozy atmosphere...simply all details were correct. Also the location is great with several nice restaurants within a few minutes walk.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ARC Recoleta Boutique Hotel Spa; City: Buenos Aires Capital Federal District; Review: ARC is a very nice boutique hotel in a great location, short walk to several places of interest, restaurants or just nice walks in Recoleta. The hotel is small but has everything what one needs on town vacation. Rooms are large and only three per floor. At least we had a nice balcony for enjoying a glass of wine after a day in the city. Breakfast was also good but no evening restaurant in the hotel. Also no rooftop bar but a rooftop pool where you could order drinks from the room service. All in all good value hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Legado Mitico Salta; City: Salta Province of Salta Northern Argentina; Review: Mitico has personality ! Although it is small, it still offers all aspects needed for a nice stay. Good breakfast and nice spaces to sit down in the evening for a glass of wine. Rooms and bathrooms are large and with different local themes furnished. Hotel is only a shprt walk away from the city center.Service was very friendly. We would book here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Diplomatic Hotel; City: Mendoza Province of Mendoza Cuyo; Review: Diplomatic hotel had everything we needed...and more. Good spacious rooms, good bathroom, quick laundry service, great breakfast and wine tasting every evening. The location is also great with a short walk to city center and to many great restaurants. When we go next time to Mendoza, we will book here again. It was also easy to communicate in English with hotel personnel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Oscar; City: Varkaus Northern Savonia; Review: I rate this hotel average but it could easily be better. The room was large enough and clean. The shower cabinet was though very small. All in all the room had everything needed for a short stay. The restaurant for dinner was very good and service was friendly, professional with good humour. Dinner created an expectation for the breakfast. The morning came and breakfast was very poor. There was a lot of stuff on offer but it was not well prepared and presentation was also poor. Also it seemed that service personnel in the restaurant was still asleep. With little effort and most importantly with no or just moderate costs, the breakfast could be easily improved. So great evening but not so good start for the day.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Lanthia Resort; City: Santa Maria Navarrese Baunei Province of Ogliastra Sardinia; Review: After a scenic drive from Olbia, two welcoming staff came to greet us as they saw us drive in .... They immediately helped us with our bags and parked the car for us, enabling us to quickly check in and finally relax. We had a fantastic spacious room ( Siligo ) with a large bathroom and lovely walk-in shower. Our sunny patio was roomy with a nice verandah overlooking the gardens and pool. Neither the pool or private beach area was ever busy .... In fact, we quite often had the pool to ourselves. The lunches available in the pine forrest overlooking the beach & sea were freshly prepared to order and whilst mainly salads, they were all perfect for us. We ate in the village a few times but loved the food at the hotel which offered a nice selection of antipasti, pasta, fish and meat dishes with an extensive choice of Sardinian wines .... All of which were excellent. The staff we're very friendly and in sufficient numbers that they could spend time discussing your day, menu choices or wine selections ..... Overall, we thought the Lanthia was a great find with excellent service throughout our stay. ,; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Metropol Spa Zermatt; City: Zermatt Canton of Valais Swiss Alps; Review: We've stayed at the Metropol many times over the past 10+ years, summer and winter, and have always enjoyed our stay and been well very looked after by Mr & Mrs Taugwalder and their staff. The hotel is pretty central and only about a 5 minute walk from the station but taxi collection can be arranged if preferred and is useful in snowy conditions. The rooms are all pretty spacious with nice modern bathrooms and are exceptionally clean. Breakfast is generous continental style though cooked options are available too. We've never had an evening meal in the hotel as the village has a great variety of places to eat - all within a 5 - 10 minute stroll. For skiers, the Sunnegga funicular is about 5 mins away and its even less of a walk to the ski bus stop to reach the other ski areas. The wellness centre is wonderful and has a sauna, jacuzzi, solarium, small gym and a great pool with Matterhorn views. In summer, the lawned garden has relaxing sun beds for use free of charge.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Glasgow Monceau by Patrick Hayat; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: We stayed at the Monceau for 3 nights in April and had a great welcome. The room was fairly small as was the bathroom ( typical size for Paris though ) but both were very clean and well presented. Breakfast was self service and continental style with tea / coffee available throughout the day. Location-wise, it was close to 2 metro stations ( Malesherbes / Villiers ) plus 2 main bus routes making travel very easy. It has a great modern feel and is on a nice quiet street with a few local bars close by which were great for a quick coffee / glass of wine.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Cresta et Duc; City: Courmayeur Valle d Aosta; Review: We stayed here in January 2013 and had a great week. The food was excellent as was the service in the restaurant at breakfast and dinner. The room wasnt huge but was pleasant, well maintained and very clean ... As was the bathroom. The bar was really nice and cosy and the staff were very attentive. The walk to the lift was only around 5 minutes and the main pedestrianised area of Courmayeur was less than a minute away and offered a nice range of bars.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Linder; City: Selva di Val Gardena Val Gardena Province of South Tyrol Trentino Alto Adi; Review: We stayed at the Linder as a group of five skiers and had a great time. The bar is nice and cosy and the food in the restaurant great quality with a good choice of courses, that changed daily. Its owned and run by the Linder family who gave us a lovely welcome - the staff provided great service and hospitality throughout. The rooms are a good size as are the bathrooms and all very clean. The hotel is pretty central and only a 5 minute walk to the main Gondala and about 10 to the nursery slopes / ski school. Theres a handy boot room in the basement. We also got to use the gorgeous spa & leisure facilities of the hotel Nives just down the road .... Which was well worth the stroll. The only minor criticism of the Linder was the brightly lit dining room .... It would be nice to have more ambient lighting in an evening.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Cala Cuncheddi; City: Li Cuncheddi Olbia Province of Olbia Tempio Sardinia; Review: We stayed recently for relaxing break away from it all. The room we had (109) was on the ground floor and was nice and spacious with a huge double bed. The room occupied a corner position and had a lovely roomy outdoor patio with plenty of room to relax ( balcony and outdoor space varies from room to room ). The room was cleaned daily and kept spotless as was the bathroom which featured a powerful wet room style shower. The hotel is right on the beach and is well planted with grasses and plants that blend into the coastline. The evening outdoor restaurant menu offered a fabulous choice and the sun sets were to die - dinner is served overlooking the coast and just metres from the sea. The pool was gorgeous and rarely had more than a few people cooling off in it - the sun beds over looking the beach offer nice welcome breezes and the sandy beach has private beds and parasols for hotel guests. Theres a handy little beach bar for snacks and drinks and if you wander up the hill from the hotel you'll find a great place for lunch set amongst lovely villa style accommodation with panoramic views. All in all a lovely place to stay - we'd certainly make a return trip even for a long weekend as its such a quick drive from the airport.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Courmayeur; City: Courmayeur Valle d Aosta; Review: We had a last minute week away skiing in Courmayeur and had a pleasant stay here. Spacious rooms with clean bathrooms, inc a bath - much needed after a day on the slopes. The food was decent - nothing too fantastic but good quality and sufficient in quantity.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: AktivHotel Hochfilzer; City: Ellmau Tirol Austrian Alps; Review: We've just returned from a weeks ski holiday in Ellmau, staying at the Hochfilzer with Inghams. The hotel has recently updated its informal dining / bar area, giving it a welcoming modern feel. The real fire with deep lounging chairs and sofa are perfect after a day on the slopes. The main dining room has a mix of table sizes and lighting, with the nicer, cosier tables ( of which ours was one), tucked away on the outer edges of the room. The food was excellent - a great buffet choice of hot and cold options for breakfast with an omelette chef on hand as well as a great waffle maker, if that's what you fancy. Nice fresh coffees made for you too. The evening meals were typically 4 courses plus cheese if you want a 5th - mains offered choices of meat / fish / vegetarian - all fantastic quality, nice sized portions and all beautifully presented. The deserts were amazing. The bar and dining staff were all very friendly and attentive - nothing was too much trouble when we asked. Our room was a good size with plenty of storage. It needs a little modernisation, the bathroom in particular but it was very clean and warm and we were hardly there, being on the slopes all day. The robes were a nice touch and useful for trips to the pool, hot tub and sauna - all with great views over the mountains. Finally, the hotel is right in the middle of Ellmau, close to the slopes, ski hire shops and ski school and has its own ski / boot room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Schonegg Chalet Hotel; City: Zermatt Canton of Valais Swiss Alps; Review: We arrived during heavy snow ( with travel disruption ) and were collected & whisked off to the hotel via its own “ 007 “ - style tunnel entrance & lift . We were met with a smile, a welcoming drink and refreshing hot hand towels. The same friendly service & subtle touches continued throughout our stay; from extra pillows and a nightly turndown service ( with pyjamas thoughtfully arranged on the bed ) through to complimentary lunch and wine on the day when heavy snow forced total piste closures. The quality of the food offered for both breakfast and each evening was excellent, with an extensive wine menu and attentive waiter / waitress service - compliments must go to Ingo, our waiter. Our room (202) was very clean and spacious with super comfy beds, a large bath and power shower - especially welcome after a hard day on the slopes. The spa had great views over the town and mountains and offered all the expected spa elements. The outdoor “ infinity “ terrace was a lovely place for a relaxing apres - ski drink, to watch the sun set over the Matterhorn. The hotels location is ideal for a stroll into town ( 5 mins max. ) and perfect for the Sunnegga funicular and the ski shop across the way; and to have the benefit of skiing right back to the hotel and using the hotels ski room meant no lugging boots or skis around. All in all, our stay was very relaxing and we will be back for sure.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: John Carver Inn Spa; City: Plymouth Massachusetts; Review: About 3 years ago I visited the John Carver Inn for the New Year's Celebration down in Plymouth, MA. At the time, my family lived in town and inn was in an ideal location being minutes from the downtown area. Since I knew I would be staying there, I booked my room 4 months in advance to ensure I would receive a decent room. Once we checked into the inn, it appears they gave us the worst room on the 2nd floor. The location of this room was situated right across from the elevator. Because of this, every time a group was entering or exiting the elevator, I could hear every conversation and definitely their feet walking outside our doorway. Since this was New Year's Eve, the staff informed me there were no other rooms to move to. As for the actual room, this was very typical of any hotel layout. It consisted of 2 beds, a small desk, a small nightstand, TV and a couple of chairs to sit in. Since the inn boasted that it provided internet access. While setting up my laptop, I noticed that there were no available outlets near the desk. The closest plug was about 10 feet away from the desk. This room was definitely not made to accommodate the needs of the typical traveler who has their laptop, cell phone and other devices which could possibly need used practically at the desk setup they have provided. Additionally, when inspecting the outlet, I noticed they only had ones which would support 2 pronged plugs. Due to these factors, this forced me to drive to the store, buy a 10 foot extension cord & the 3 to 2 prong plug adapters to actually use my laptop without having to sit on the floor near the door to access the internet. Although I really do not like to complain about hotels, sadly I feel like I need to inform people regarding this place of the lack of outlets for travelers with any type of electronics requiring power and also not to get stuck with the rooms near the elevators. Lastly with the staff that I spoke with, in person and on the phone, I was very upset with the lack of effort in making my stay enjoyable at this location. When I spoke with the front desk manager regarding the room location and room with no real outlets, they really had no answers to any of my concerns. From the body language and tone of her voice, you could tell she really could have cared less about the situation and offered no solution to resolve these issues. Overall, although it was nice being close to everything, I would have preferred to have stayed somewhere else. If I had stayed at a Motel 6, I would have known what to expect for amenities provided at half the price of this place. To sum up my experience, I rate my experience as such: 1) The service received 1 out of 5 stars since none of my complaints were really addressed; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: AmericInn by Wyndham Windsor Ft Collins; City: Fort Collins Colorado; Review: I recently went out to a wedding in Colorado and was pleasantly surprised by this place. Although from the outside this location wasn't anything fancy, the room was clean, the hottub & pool were refreshing, the breakfast was great, and the price was right. I stayed here for 3 days and each morning they had a nice breakfast spread consisting of muffins, donuts, cereal, and Belgian waffles you make yourself. To finish off each evening, I spent my time between the hottub, pool and sauna. On top of these perks, the location was ideal. If you have never been to Colorado, be prepared to drive if you need to go somewhere. With this location situated in between most places people intend to visit, you won't find a better place to stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grand Pequot Tower; City: Mashantucket Mystic Country Connecticut; Review: Last year I stayed in the towers and since this is obviously within Foxwoods, I would highly recommend finding a room which is as far from the elevators as possible. With people running back and forth to their rooms at all hours of the night, your best best for peaceful sleep is to stay in the end rooms. Depending on the night, and the amount of alcohol in the guests, it's not surprising to hear a herd of drunk people walking down the halls before retiring for the night.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Beverly Garden Suites; City: Beverly Massachusetts; Review: I have stayed at the Beverly Garden Suites multiple times and always had a great comfortable room. During the Summer months, I have always enjoyed the downstairs rooms since they are naturally cooler. As for traveling and visiting, this hotel is located across from the North Beverly train station which is only 30 mins away from Boston. Additionally, across the street, you have a variety of restaurants, a super market and also a liquor store for your convenience. With a few colleges and other events happening nearby, make sure to call in advance to guarantee there's still room for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Cove at Yarmouth; City: West Yarmouth Yarmouth Cape Cod Massachusetts; Review: I am an RCI timeshare owner at this actual unit and I have NEVER been able to book a time even at my own home resort. The manager who I spoke with never took accountability for this and I have tried multiple times to get to this location. With so many other places to go, I would suggest visiting elsewhere. I have attempted to book at least 6-12 times last year and multiple times this year and still have never been able to get a room. Overall, there is no use in buying into RCI if you can't even get a room for just a weekend.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Stamford Marriott Hotel Spa; City: Stamford Connecticut; Review: After spending a week in Philly, we decided to stay here on the way back. When arriving here, we were very happy with the plush bedding and oversized pillows. The room was a decent size and the bathroom was a good size as well. The pool is actually interesting since it has an indoor section and an outdoor portion. In between both, there is a channel which allows you to swim back and forth between the two areas. Also, the water is very warm (bath water temp) and the underwater lighting changes every minute with a gradual transition from one color to another (see pictures). If you are travelling with younger kids, this is an ideal pool since it's not too deep (4-5 ft) and there are places where it's only 2.5 ft deep. If you are coming to this hotel for the spa area, make sure to call days in advance to make sure there is an appointment open for you. Lastly, for food and drinks, there is a restaurant and bar within the hotel and also a mall across the street with several other chain restaurants as well. Overall, the stay at this place was very nice with a great location and look forward to visiting this place in the future. One other thing I was unable to do was visit the VIP lounge area for Gold Elite members, but I will do this next time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: InnSeason Resort The Falls at Ogunquit; City: Ogunquit Maine; Review: After spending 4 days here last December, I realized there are definitely better places for the same cost. For the time I was here, the indoor pool was closed for 3 out of the 4 evenings and the internet connection in the room was unusable. I have attached a screenshot of the speed test showing how poor the download speeds were. Since the primary selling point for this location was the indoor pool which should have been open during the evening hours, this place was a major disappointment. I had complained to the manager who mentioned they would adjust our billing and never heard anything else in response to this. My advice to you is to stay at the hotels around the corner and enjoy your time there.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Syracuse Carrier Circle; City: DeWitt Finger Lakes New York; Review: When visiting the Syracuse area, I selected this hotel out of the dozens in the area for the location and the amenities offered. The main purpose of my trip was to attend a wedding and afterwards I spend some time in the pool and hot tub. In regards to the rooms, they were very spacious providing plenty of room to relax. The King sized bed was comfy and the bathroom area was oversized as well (see photos). For the pool and spa area, the pool wasn't huge, but perfect enough to swim around and enjoy the warm water. After spending 20 minutes swimming, I finished off my time in the hot tub. Due to the smaller sized pool and hot tub, I did see this area get crowded at certain times, but most of the time you have this place to yourself. The dining area in the main lobby area is also nice to visit where they serve some food and also drinks. One nice touch they had are these mini booth areas where a few people can sit in and watch television or just socialize with friends.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Residence Inn Newport Middletown; City: Middletown Rhode Island; Review: Back in April I stayed here to visit Newport, RI for the weekend. The pool/hot tub area was decent and the morning breakfast was very good. I was also happy with the free WIFI available as well. The only thing which I did not like was the bed. For both nights, I had the worst sleep I have ever experienced at a hotel of this caliber to the point where it took me a week to get my back adjusted to its normal condition. Although this place did hit the marks for most things people are looking for in a great hotel, the sleep quality really wasn't there. I think to finish off my time here, I actually slept on the floor to compensate for the terrible bed. Being someone who typically stays at 2-4 star hotels, I really did expect a lot more from this place.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Given the interaction history of a user with books as follows:
Title: Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy; Author: Visit Amazon's Thomas E. Woods Page; Review: The best place to start for understanding the economic crisis. Woods draws attention to the "elephant in the living room," the Federal Reserve, which is left out of the mainstream discussion of the current financial crisis. Woods explains the Fed's role in creating and sustaining the boom leading up to the current inevitable crash. The book cites the Fed as the major problem, but also explains the roles of other culprits including Fannie and Freddie, "deregulation," the US tax code, and the Community Reinvestment Act. Woods critiques the Bush and Obama administration's responses to the crisis and offers radically different prescriptions for change. The book is interesting and readable for anyone and makes complex issues understandable for the layman.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Great Depression and the New Deal (The Politically Incorrect Guides); Author: Robert Murphy; Review: I was incredibly impressed with this book. It critiques much of the scholarship on the Great Depression, ranging from Paul Krugman's NYT rants to Milton Friedman's Monetary History of the United States. Murphy provides complex economic analysis in an understandable and readable way. The book explains how the depression was largely caused by easy money policy of the federal reserve in the 20's, and how Hoover and FDR's interventions into the market prolonged the crisis. Murphy also draws parallels between the current crisis and how Bush/Obama policies have repeated many of the same mistakes. There are helpful suggestions for further reading in every chapter. I would recommend this book as priority reading for anyone wanting to understand the Great Depression or the current financial crisis more thoroughly.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Housing Boom and Bust: Revised Edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Thomas Sowell Page; Review: This book debunks the idea that the housing boom and bust are the result of the "free market" failing. Sowell explores various ways that government policy created incentives for people to behave in ways which contributed to the crash. For example, the creation of Fannie and Freddie lead to more loans being made available at riskier terms than would have taken place in a free market. The Community Reinvestment Act, HUD, and other government programs and policies sought to expand home ownership to more and more of the population. Land use restrictions and environmental policy drove up home prices in many major cities, contributing to the need for nonconventional means of financing home purchases. As usual, Sowell does a fantastic job analyzing government policies not just on their stated goals, but by looking at the long term unintended consequences they produce in the country as a whole. This book is definitely worth a read to better understand the economic mess we are in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies; Author: Bryan Caplan; Review: Fascinating book exploring problems inherent to the democratic system. Caplan explores research on voters' systematic biases, and their complete lack of knowledge most issues they vote on. According to Caplan, this sad state of affairs is more than just the way things happened to turn out. Instead, there are built in incentives inherent in the democratic system that allow and encourage irrational behavior. There are many reasons and conditions why voters may prefer irrational views to rational ones. For example a person may feel better blaming foreigners for economic problems rather than accepting other explanations. There can also be a psychic or emotional benefit to voting for altruistic or feel good policies, even if they are economically unsound. Each voter is unlikely to be the deciding vote in an election, therefore the cost of an irrational vote is low. Being highly informed takes time and energy that is unlikely to pay off in terms of tangible life improvements. Taken together, we have a recipe for voters choosing irrational policies. Caplan argues that perhaps taking some decisions out of the democratic realm may not be such a bad idea. The book is also worth it for the extensive break down of data on what economists vs. the public think on many major issues. A very thought provoking book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism; Author: Visit Amazon's Timothy Keller Page; Review: This book takes on many arguments commonly put forward by atheists and skeptics, including high profile atheists such as Richard Dawkins. Keller also takes on some of the thinking of liberal protestant theologians. He has an excellent grasp of the times and addresses themes that are commonly encountered in university settings and generally in our culture. Keller is obviously a well read guy, as he draws on a vast range of literary, scientific, and historical sources to develop his arguments. He identifies himself as being primarily influenced by C.S. Lewis and Jonathan Edwards. Definitely worth reading, especially for a good summary of modern athiest/liberal intellectual thought; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Post-American World; Author: Visit Amazon's Fareed Zakaria Page; Review: Very interesting. Provides a good overview of the economic/political/social conditions of China and India as they catch up to/surpass the US on a number of indicators. Does a great job putting a lot of the statistics that are thrown around about China into perspective, as well as pointing out often overlooked nuances in the data. One example I found interesting was that although Chinese school test scores are on average much higher than US students, if you compare only upper income US area schools, the scores are comparable. Zakaria argues it isn't that US education is in disarray, it is that for certain, generally impoverished areas, it is. An intelligent, calm, and thoughtful exploration of the possible end of US dominance, without an anti-US slant. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jonathan Edwards: A Life; Author: Visit Amazon's George M. Marsden Page; Review: Jonathan Edwards is considered by many to be the greatest preacher, theologian, and philosopher in American history. George Marsen has written an excellent biography that explores Edwards personal, public, and intellectual life in 18th Century New England. Edwards had a great appreciation for the holiness of God. He tackled many of the great questions of the Christian faith, such as; can free will exist if God is sovereign? Where did sin come from if God is all good? How can one tell if one is truly saved? Edwards' answers may not satisfy everyone, and in many cases, they are difficult to grasp (at least for me!) Nonetheless, his work is always thought provoking and leads one to a greater appreciation of the character of God.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: From Subsistence to Exchange and Other Essays; Author: Peter Tamas Bauer; Review: I wish I had this book in college when I had to hear on a daily basis how Western imperialism and capitalism were the root of all world troubles. Bauer explains that most third world problems have causes which have nothing to do with the west. Furthermore, efforts to distribute foreign aid are often counterproductive and harmful. Bauer also discusses the causes of national wealth or poverty. In one of my favorite essays he explores the reasons for Hong Kong's success, being it has no raw materials and is one of the world's most "overpopulated" areas. Bauer argues the answer lies in a combination of its free market policies, as well as the motivation, aptitudes, and social mores of the people. The book is also worth it for the excellent essay on the non-problem of overpopulation. The book was great, however, what a boring title! Not exactly an attention grabber for all the exciting ideas in the book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Persian Puzzle: The Conflict Between Iran and America; Author: Visit Amazon's Kenneth M. Pollack Page; Review: This book is a great place to start to better understand current US/Iranian relations. The emphasis is on the last 50 years, but there is a brief overview of Iranian history starting in ancient times. The book is more than a history lesson as Pollock offers specific policy recommendations and analysis. Interestingly Pollock was an advocate for the Iraq war, but he argues against any military intervention in Iran at the current time. The book kept my attention but it is jam packed with information, so I found it somewhat slow going at times to digest it all. Highly recommended to gain a more informed view of the issues in Iran today.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SPIN-FREE ECONOMICS; Author: Visit Amazon's Nariman Behravesh Page; Review: Behravesh covers the general consensus of economists on many hot button issues including health care, energy policy, immigration, tax levels, education, minimum wage, monopolies, social security, and many others. The book is written in an interesting and readable way. Behravesh also explores many claims by both parties around the 2008 election cycle which are at odds with the views of economists. I didn't agree with everything in this book (especially the cheerleading for the federal reserve). However it is fantastic as a resource for better understanding the current economic consensus on many popular issues.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Economics Does Not Lie: A Defense of the Free Market in a Time of Crisis; Author: Visit Amazon's Guy Sorman Page; Review: As the title indicates, this book offers a general case for the free market system. I enjoyed this book for the summary of many different economists work, including Gary Becker, Edward Prescott, Edmund Phelps, Xavier Sala-i-Martin, Daniel Kahneman, and many others. The book also gives an overview of several countries transitions to capitalism, with separate chapters on the Asian Tigers, India, Brazil, China, India, and Turkey. Sorman also explores the relative economic stagnation of Japan and Western Europe. He largely attributes their lack of growth to reductions in the work week and policies which make labor more expensive. Sorman includes an interesting chapter on economics and global warming. The book concludes with a chapter of basic propositions that top economists generally agree on. Overall a very informative book. I wish it spent a bit more time on the current financial crisis, which it does address but not as the main focus of the book. To some extent Sorman appears to see the subprime failure as a result of experiments which didn't end up working, as will inevitably happen in the capitalist process of creative destruction. He does offer a brief critique of federal reserve policy based on the work of Anna Scwartz.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: End The Fed; Author: Visit Amazon's Ron Paul Page; Review: This book does a wonderful job of breaking down and explaining a very complicated institution, the Federal Reserve. Dr. Paul starts off discussing the origin and nature of the fed. He provides some background explanation regarding Austrian economics and his intellectual influences. The book then continues separate chapters consisting mainly of transcripts of congressional hearings including questions for Greenspan and Bernanke, their responses, and with some commentary on these exchanges. There is also a good chapter on central banking and war. The final chapter is very helpful as it includes specific recommendations for how to proceed from here. Steps include freezing the money stock, making dollars redeemable in gold, and repealing legal tender laws. Dr. Paul also suggests some smaller, incremental steps we could take in the meantime, including restricting the fed's open market operations, conducting an audit, stopping bailouts, etc. Overall this book is a wonderful resource for gaining a better understanding of what is now one of the most powerful branches of government. Readers who enjoyed this book would probably also be interested in Meltdown: A Free-Market Look at Why the Stock Market Collapsed, the Economy Tanked, and Government Bailouts Will Make Things Worse and Financial Fiasco: How America's Infatuation with Home Ownership and Easy Money Created the Economic Crisis; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Financial Fiasco: How America's Infatuation with Home Ownership and Easy Money Created the Economic Crisis; Author: Johan Norberg senior fellow at the Cato Institute and author of "In Defence of Global Capitalism"; Review: This book includes some of the best writing on the financial crisis I have seen yet. It is less than 200 pages, yet I feel I have gained the knowledge of a 1,000 page book. Despite its short length it manages to cover all angles. A major focus is the role of federal reserve policy in creating the artificial boom. Also covered are developments in international accounting standards, explanations of derivatives, discussion of the global savings glut, analysis of US housing policy, and critiques of the bailout and stimulus packages. One bonus is that this book offers a much more international perspective than many American authors provide (the author is Swedish). This book is a must read and a great resource to own. I'm sure I will be referring back to it many times in the future. I couldn't recommend it more.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crude World: The Violent Twilight of Oil; Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Maass Page; Review: As the subtitle indicates, the book explores "the violent twilight of oil" in many countries around the world. Primarily I enjoyed learning more about countries such as Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, and Ecuador. The author comes from a liberal, anti-corporate, global warming alarmist perspective, which is not my orientation. Nonetheless the book can probably be enjoyed by different perspectives, even if you don't agree with all of his commentary. Interestingly, he takes the view that the Iraq War may not have been primarily about oil. The book is written well and kept my attention. Makes for an interesting and informative read on an important topic.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Return of the Great Depression; Author: Visit Amazon's Vox Day Page; Review: Excellent book on the financial crisis with unique perspectives you are unlikely to find anywhere else. I enjoyed this book for the way it elucidates the major perspectives on the crisis, including Keynesian, monetarist, and Austrian economic theories, the latter being the author's preference. The book critiques much of the mainstream thinking on the crisis, with a particular emphasis on our favorite Nobel laureate Paul Krugman. I now feel I will be able to read Krugman's columns with more understanding, but not with any less exasperation! This book offers us a very pessimistic view of where we are headed. It does not so much predict the future as it makes logical projections based on current trends. For example, the expansionary policies of the federal reserve, growing government and household debt, partial deregulation combined with socialization of losses, and directing resources to insolvent institutions. This book questions many of the concepts and measurements taken for granted in the mainstream discourse, for example the GDP, CPI, and unemployment figures. The book ends with six possible scenarios for the future and ten recommendations for change. As much as I like the book, I hope its predictions turn out to be wrong!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Why Obama's Government Takeover of Health Care Will Be a Disaster (Encounter Broadsides); Author: Visit Amazon's David Gratzer Page; Review: Excellent short book on all that's wrong with ObamaCare. Dr. Gratzer is a former Canadian psychiatrist who has had exposure to both Canadian and US health care systems. He provides evidence that many health outcomes are significantly better in the US on average. The major tenets of Obama's health care reform are provided and critiqued. The book also provides a much needed reminder of how we got into our current situation. In the 1940s, as a result of wage and price controls, employers started offering health insurance when they couldn't offer higher salaries. Then the IRS made insurance premiums paid by employers non-taxable. Gradually, most services became covered by employment based health plans, thus separating the cost of the service from the consumer. This could only lead to rising costs, leaving those without employer based coverage unable to afford care. It has been government intervention, not the free market, which has lead to many of our current problems. The book offers a useful quick summary to anyone concerned about the current health care reform.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: City of Gold: Dubai and the Dream of Capitalism; Author: Visit Amazon's Jim Krane Page; Review: Hard to believe up through the 1960 Dubai had little electricity and no plumbing. This book traces the story of Dubai from the days of desert bedouin to the pearl diving boom to the amazingly quick transformation to modernity and beyond, masterminded by Sheikh Rashid and Sheikh Mohammed. I especially enjoyed the stories of how the ideas for the Palm Jumeirah and the Burj Al Arab came about. The book also includes discussion of the darker side of Dubai including the labor camps and sex trade. More broadly, the geopolitical importance of Dubai with regards to foreign policy is discussed. The author has an impressive wealth of knowledge and is a great writer. The books keeps you interested and does a good job of laying out the big picture while entertaining with anecdotes. Overall a great work exploring the triumphs and costs associated with the rise of a fascinating place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Getting Off Track: How Government Actions and Interventions Caused, Prolonged, and Worsened the Financial Crisis (Hoover Institution Press Publication); Author: Visit Amazon's John B. Taylor Page; Review: This book offers a concise analysis of how government actions caused, prolonged, and worsened the financial crisis. The author developed the "Taylor Rule" in the 90s as a guideline for how interest rates should be set by central banks. From 2001-2005 the Fed kept rates far lower than the Taylor Rule recommends, which the author cites as the major cause of the housing boom. The book also argues that government misdiagnosed the situation is 2007 as a problem of liquidity rather than increased risk, leading to ineffective interventions. The book is less than 100 pages so it didn't have as much room to expand on some of the concepts as I would have liked, but overall a great resource on the crisis.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crisis of Abundance: Rethinking How We Pay for Health Care; Author: Arnold Kling; Review: This is the best source for understanding the health care I have come across. The book does a great job exploring the complexities of the health care problem and the inevitable trade off we will face in making changes to the current system. Kling explains how basically there are 3 conflicting goals for health care finance: affordability for society as a whole, unfettered access for individuals, and insulation of individuals from the cost of their health care. It is impossible to achieve all three goals at once, as many schemes promise to do. Kling believes the best solution is to abandon the 3rd goal, insulating consumers from direct costs. Kling offers some models of long term, high deductible insurance policies which would be capable of insuring most people at reasonable costs. However, such a system would require significant regulatory and tax policy changes, and would probably be politically unpopular. The book contains some great analysis I have not seen anywhere else. I was surprised to learn that in many universal systems people consumers actually pay slightly more direct health care expenses than in the United States. Kling points to this insulation from costs as a major reason regular market forces cannot operate and health care spending continues to grow unchecked. I would recommend this book to anyone vaguely interested in the health care debate. It's just under 100 pages but packs in an incredible amount of learning.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Obamanomics: How Barack Obama Is Bankrupting You and Enriching His Wall Street Friends, Corporate Lobbyists, and Union Bosses; Author: Visit Amazon's Timothy P. Carney Page; Review: I read a fairly large amount of material critical to President Obama, but this book still had lots of news to me. Obama has successfully portrayed himself as the opponent of big business and special interests. Carney shows in great detail how, in fact, Obama's policies tend to favor large corporations, create barriers to new entering the market, and enrich politically connected special interests at the expense of consumers and small business. One thing I appreciated about the book is that it does not have any angry or paranoid tone, and actually Carney is actually fairly gracious about Obama's motivations. Rather than a grand conspiracy by large corporations, the book argues that many of the problems explained are largely unintended but logical consequences of the top down regulatory process. However, many of Obama's claims do start to appear either disingenuous or else completely disconnected from reality. For example, how could Obama claim the "Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act" is a blow to big tobacco, when Phillip Morris's website voices support, and the company has spent years and millions lobbying for such a bill? The book provides much interesting information about Obama's fundraising sources. Just one example, I was surprised to learn Obama raised more money from the securities and investment industry than any candidate in history. The book begins with a great forward by Ron Paul. What more can you ask for?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Truth About Obamacare; Author: Sally C. Pipes; Review: Even when following the health care debate fairly closely, it was difficult to keep track of what all the different proposals and drafts added up to in the final "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act." This book does a great job of concisely summing up the 2,400 page beast. Pipes explains the major provisions of the bill, and argues that many of them are unlikely to meet their stated objectives and will result in harmful unintended consequences. Pipes explains that the bill essentially moves us away from the concept of "health insurance" and into more of a prepaid, government regulated/directed system of health care. Pipes is originally from Canada and thus realizes universal systems have many problems that advocates of reform often gloss over. This book is a great place to start for anyone looking to understand the dramatic changes ahead in health care. Readers interested in health care may also like to check out Crisis of Abundance: Rethinking How We Pay for Health Care by Cato affiliated economist Arnold Kling for a more general look at the economics of health care.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy; Author: Raghuram G. Rajan; Review: I initially bought this book when I saw it mentioned by Tyler Cowen on Marginal Revolution blog, but put it on the shelf as a distant priority. A few months later I saw Paul Krugman criticize it in the New York Review of Books, which lead me to go home and start it immediately. This book is fantastic. It is the "biggest picture" book on the crisis I've seen. Unlike much analysis on the crisis with a narrow focus on specific policies and ideologies in the US, this book looks at a variety of long-term global trends that lead to "fault lines". Fault lines examined include rising inequality, export-led growth in developing countries, collision of arms-length and relationship driven financial systems, the apparent trend toward jobless economic recoveries and the pressure for government stimulus. Rajan focuses blame on both government and private actors. He also highlights the significance of Federal Reserve policy and artificially low US interest rates in playing a significant role in the crisis. Don't listen to Paul Krugman; this books is a must read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Sherlock: Season 1; Brand: ; Review: From the first episode, I was hooked. The chemistry between John and Sherlock combined with the mysteries and clever dialog make the whole series a wonderful adventure.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sherlock: Season 2; Brand: Benedict Cumberbatch; Review: Most of these episodes have me invested, but The Richenberg Fall had me sobbing by the end. Wonderful acting, writing, and directing. Bravo!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Decoy Bride Region 2; Brand: David Tennant; Review: I got tired of romantic comedies once Owen Wilson seemed to overtake the market. However, a few Welsh actors, a beautiful backdrop, and some well-timed slap-stick gags combined with some great on-screen chemistry made me love the genre again! Highly, highly recommend!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Third Star; Brand: Hugh Bonneville; Review: This movie was beautiful! The cinematography, the subtlety, and the acting were great! The plot was quite predictable, but in this movie that was almost beside the point. In the midst of the tragedy, the character development for all four of the friends makes the journey worthwhile.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Escape Artist Set NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 United Kingdom; Brand: David Tennant; Review: David Tennant does a fantastic job bringing this smart, strong criminal barrister to life. The story of Will Burton's competency as a lawyer in spite of overwhelming evidence against his client would be compelling on it own. Combined with a story of family tragedy and one super creepy villain, it kept me enthralled and guessing all the way through.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: The Charles Hotel; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: My wife and i stayed at the Charles Hotel from 12.01.2011 for 3 nights. Everything was as described in terms of location, friendliness, cleanliness and the breakfast. I would recommend this Hotel to anyone. There was, however, one problem. We were in room 304 on the third floor, overlooking what could be described as the main road. The noise at night, was quite loud from other tourists returning to their hotels late at night. Their voices were very loud and were funnelled up towards us by the high buildings. We were woken on a number of occassions as a result of this. I found that the problem was down to insulation of the windows into their frames. There was none and consequently there was no sound proofing at all. I dont know if this was exclusive to our room, or was universal for all windows. Other than this, everything was perfect. Please Mr Manager, sort the windows and I will give you 5 Stars all round. Yes, I would stay there again !; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: NH Porta Barcelona; City: Sant Just Desvern Catalonia; Review: Just got back from 3 nights at this hotel. Was on a stag doo, (we were well behaved, promise). The hotel was perfect for us, clean and well looked after. We did not eat there so cannot comment but there were plenty of bars and restaurants around with varying prices to suit all pockets. The hotel was about 45 mins out from the center but this added to the fun with travelling on the tram and the underground. Both very easy to use !!!! Get a T10 ticket ! All in all a good clean comfortable hotel which I would go back to !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Jaccarino; City: Sant Agata sui Due Golfi Massa Lubrense Province of Naples Campania; Review: We arrived for a weeks holiday and were duly assigned room 24. Our daughter was assigned a single room. Room 24... small, dark and with a window opening onto a wonderful view of local bricks. The room was compact and claustrophobic. The shower was a nigtmare for a larger chap like me ! Hated the room and the following morning, as it was late at night, I went to the management to complain and request a change of room. I was advised that this could not be done until monday (arrived late friday night) as monday was changeover day. Bit lip, tongue, fingers till then. Come Monday, the Manager had arranged a new room for us, Room 7. Bring it on ! A palace compared to 24. Full marks to the staff for sorting this out. Anyway, a lovely hotel, lovely staff and excellent food. Lovely pool and fantastic views. Downside... hmmm... needs a better wifi set up !!! Bar prices are way over the top. Upside, free bus into Sorento ! ! A lovely chilled, relaxed atmosphere in the hotel. The small village of Sant Agata three minutes away, lovely local restaurants and bars, much much better value......... Visit Orlando's bar, the locals do ! It is great and Orlando himself is a brilliant character, plenty of laughs. There is so much more i could write... But, Would i go there again....? Most certainly i would !!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Novotel Edinburgh Centre; City: Edinburgh Scotland; Review: Stayed 2 nights at this hotel. Well located. Easy to get anywhere from this hotel. Good facilities and lovely staff. Pool sauna and gym all very clean as was the whole hotel. Excellent breakfast. No complaints at all...! Thank you for a lovely comfortable stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Royal National Hotel; City: London England; Review: First the positives... great location, impressive reception area, quiet room and then it all falls down.... We booked in and went to our room, the journey along numerous corridors revealed a very tired hotel, the room was quite spartan and the bathroom only had towels and soap, no shower gel or shampoo but appeared quite clean. The room was like an oven and we decided to change and get out quick hoping that the ‘aircon’ would cool the room down - no chance as it was only an open window. Had a quick shower and walked back into the room only to get stabbed in the sole of the foot.....! A close inspection revealed no blood but a rather large toe nail clipping embedded in my foot, l know it wasn’t my wife’s because the nail varnish was a different colour...! Shortly after this a second stabbing occurred, different piece of toenail, same colour varnish...! Clearly no vaccuming had taken place. Off we went, noting an abandoned cleaners trolley in one of our many corridors. The night was hot, the aircon had failed quite miserably.... Morning arrived..... breakfast, it’s not until you experience this that you realise how many people this place holds. The dining hall was just a continual conveyor belt. We were fortunate enough to have a cooked breakfast and in fairness it was not too bad.... however, the coffee, less said there the better..... Overall, if you are going to stay here, make it a short one and do not expect anything amazing, soundproofing was non existent and it was reasonably clean, oh did I mention, the cleaners trolley did not move for the whole of the 24hrs we were there....; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Luccombe Hall Hotel; City: Shanklin Isle of Wight England; Review: Just got back from a three day midweek break. We can thoroughly recommend this hotel. The first thing that struck us was the lovely welcome we received. Everyone, throughout our stay was brilliant, without exception. We had a standard room which suited us as we were out most of the time. If you are the type to make the most of the hotel, get a balcony sea view room or an executive room. We ate at the hotel the first night and found the food to be of excellent quality, loved it and plenty of choice on their menu. The breakfasts were equally excellent...! The hotel and the room were clean, the atmosphere was relaxed and it was clear that the staff enjoyed being there and being of service, again, without exception...! Thank you to each and every one of you, including those behind the scenes, for a lovely hotel and a relaxed break. We will come back !!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Claverton Country House Hotel; City: Battle East Sussex England; Review: I am not going to ramble on about this hotel. All I can say is brilliant from every aspect..!

Beautiful writing style and balanced descriptions. A pleasure to read to the end.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2); Author: Sarah J. Maas; Genres: young-adult, romance, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Another intricately woven story beautifully told. SPOILERS: Favorite parts: the writing style is so beautiful. Celaena's emotions are tragically lifted with love and crushed by loss. Chaol and Dorrian each play supporting roles that are nicely differentiated. The plot is intricate but easy to follow. Picks: As much as I loved it, I did wonder how the all-powerful king seemed to have no idea of all the roamings around under his nose. It seemed a bit unrealistic that he wouldn't have spies reporting back to him, and to have him casually wonder just who opened a portal seemed a rather low-key response to such an explosive event. Also, the creature they kill in the catacombs seemed a bit underdeveloped--for a climactic scene like that. It would have been nice if we understood more about it or if it had posed a greater threat throughout the story. Conclusion: A solid follow-up to ToG and left me wanting to read the next installment!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The School for Good and Evil (The School for Good and Evil, #1); Author: Soman Chainani; Genres: young-adult, romance, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Started very promising but found it went on too long with overdone language better served by nuance or inference. Still, an entertaining read.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, #3); Author: Sarah J. Maas; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Spoilers Ahead... After finishing Crown of Midnight, I was really excited to leave Aderlan behind (finally!) and have Celaena explore more of this magical world Maas has beautifully created. I knew I would miss the interaction of Celeana with Chaol and Dorrian, but I was growing tired of her need to emotionally flog Chaol for Nehemia's death when essentially Nehemiah set it up. But instead of opening the pages to find Celaena on an adventure, we find her in a drunken sprawl on a rooftop, drowning in self-pity and doing...nothing. Kind of a letdown. Not sure why Maas chose this opening, but it definitely gave the book a low emotional start for me. When Celaena encounters a mysterious person, things start to pick up as she is brought before her Aunt Maeve, a cruel and ultimately, despicable relative. Celaena is ordered to master her powers before Maeve will share any secrets about the wyrdkeys. Thus begins hundreds of pages of training and brutality between her immortal fey warrior tormentor, Rowan Whitethorn, and Celaena. Page after page of Celaena filled with self-loathing and such a low opinion of herself even Rowan agrees she's not worth keeping alive. After a few rounds of Celaena lashing out and insulting Rowan, and Rowan punching, taunting, and horribly shaming Celaena back, I wanted to smack both their heads together. But finally, as Celaena inched her way toward accepting and understanding her powers, Rowan started to grow on you, and became one of my favorite characters in the story, (probably because he's one of the few that never wallows in self-pity). I did find his sudden compassion after seeing Celaena's whipping scars a bit much. He had been through as much himself, and to suddenly have so much compassion for her after showing so much contempt, seemed one of the few character movements for Rowan I found abrupt and artificial. Their friendship deepens over time and for me, it is one of the best parts of the book. (I worry Maas will turn it into a romantic one as it seems to tilt that way at times.) I'm so glad we finally got all the memories out of the night Celaena's parents were killed! It has been dragging on for three books now, always hinted at, but never fully explained. Hopefully, now Celaena has faced the darkness of her past, she can become a leader, stop running and make a stand for her people, which is ultimately what we root for the most. My Biggest Pans: As much as I loved the addition of Manon and her Thirteen, and the evolution of her relationship with her wyvern, the story line served NO purpose to advance Heir of Fire. It had absolutely no connection to the plot of this book's arc, and could have been completely excised from the novel and there would have been no effect on the outcome for any of the main characters. I have a problem with an author inserting an elaborate story line into a book that doesn't pay off in the slightest in; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1); Author: Sarah J. Maas; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Hype > Reality Warning: This Review Contains Spoilers First off, I am a huge fan of Sara J. Maas and enjoy her writing style. The Throne of Glass series demonstrated her talent over and over, and even though I had picks and pans about the TOG plot lines, the heroine in Throne of Glass acts from her heart, and her heart, while fickle and stubborn, makes sense to me. The world building in TOG is well done, the backstory nicely spaced out, and I really felt for the main character who was lethal, beautiful and quick-witted. So it was with high-hopes and the rave reviews of many bookstagrammers that I picked up ACOTAR. Right from the start, I felt less attachment to Feyre then Celaena. First off, I hated her name, because it sounded like "fairy" and didn't feel right to me. Feyre was bitter and fairly cold, stubbornly loyal to a family that clearly didn't appreciate her or deserve her. Ultimately, she was a one-dimensional character to me who never learned to listen to ANY advice she was given. Stay in your room. No, I think I'll run out into the night and put myself in mortal danger. She doesn't do this just once, but time after time. Worldbuilding showed great promise but I never really pictured the different courts, why the High Fae and the humans had been at war, who the heck the King of Hybern was, and how exactly Amarantha basically stripped away the powers of every high fae in Prythian in a matter of days? I just didn't quite grasp her. Part of the problem is the ENTIRE story is told in Feyre's POV. I think that really limited the ability to expand the story's world and setting without the benefit of other characters' eyes. I had heard this was a beauty and the beast retell but Feyre isn't really a beauty and Tamlin is hardly a beast, so I really didn't see much of the connection and felt that looking for it disappointed me, and had I not known about it, I would have been more focused on the story in and of itself. The book dragged for me in so many places. First when Feyre is running around Tamlin's lands looking for answers and doing everything she's told not to, then when she's waiting for her trials, the down time with Rhysand night after night, just what were these parties and who were the people at them? The best parts were her first two trials. Loved it when she was running from the worm. Maas does action scenes better than anyone. But here's the part that I just couldn't tolerate that made me question what Maas could possibly have been thinking. In her third trial, Feyre MURDERS in COLD BLOOD two innocent fairies. MURDERS, as in stabs them in the heart. I say NO NO NO. No. I don't care what the situation is, how many lives were at stake, Feyre essentially traded her own life for two others and I just can't tell you; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Forget Tomorrow (Forget Tomorrow, #1); Author: Pintip Dunn; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: A total cover buy I was intrigued by the concept of receiving future memories and the idea that our fates are not set in stone. Pintip Dunn is a rising author with potential to bring us a story that will fulfill her promise. I'm not sure all the elements are in place with this tale as the world building was a bit lackluster and the romance awkward at best, but a satisfying cliffhanger for an ending made it an enjoyable read.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Truthwitch (The Witchlands, #1); Author: Susan Dennard; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Review *No Spoilers I started this book in January so clearly I had a hard time finishing it. I would pick it up, get frustrated with it and put it down. I'm glad I finished it because I did like it slightly more by the ending. Most of the issues I had was with the world building and understanding the threads and the magic. There was just so much crammed into the book I couldn't really keep track or decide if I cared. It felt like a split main character with Saffi being slightly more the focus, but she was generally unlikable and rough around the edges, where Iseult was more intriguing. The love interest also didn't play off very convincing for me. I bought the first and second boos together but not sure I'll continue with the series .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3); Author: Sarah J. Maas; Genres: young-adult, romance, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: ** spoiler alert ** Review of ACOWAR (With a few minor spoilers) I have to say I really loved this series. The first book ACOTAR was a bit off putting in that I didn't understand that Tamlin wasn't the hero, because he certainly didn't feel like one, and I didn't care for Feyre's choices at times. But ACOMAF blew everything away, and I had to go back and reread ACOTAR, savoring every aspect of Rhysand's role. ACOWAR takes off from that heartdropping ending in ACOMAF and raises the stakes higher and higher. The development of all the other courts and their personalities was hard to follow at times but enjoyable to read, as if SJM could write entire books about each court. The addition of new monsters was fun, though they were mostly beneficial and not as evil as in the other books. One of my favorite scenes was when Feyre led Ianthe to the Weaver's cottage...epic payback. One of my only complaints about the book is that none of the good guys died in the end. It seemed unrealistic that they wouldn't suffer a single loss with all the battles being waged. Of them all, I thought Azriel was the easiest to sacrifice and could have given the story a little more edge. Even when Rhysand gave it all, I didn't really believe he was gone, I fully expected him to come back, so it didn't make me stop and sob (much!) All in all a five star read! The last page says more stories to come in 2018. This storyline feels complete to me, but I can see her delving into some of the other courts.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gwendy's Button Box; Author: Stephen King; Genres: history, young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: More of a short story than a novel.

Title: Pho Hoa Noodle Soup; City: Edmonton, AB; Review: We've always come here for Phõ, and subs. They make excellent phõ and subs. They have a much larger selection of phõ. For road trips, we always buy their subs for the road. They are messy, but very good. I'd give them 100 stars out of 100 stars. It's in a great location, easy to find, although, they need more parking spaces that are free. Besides great location, we are beside a home less shelter, a lot of home less people walk by, but I've never seen them enter this great establishment yet. That are working full or part time. As I have said before, they do have lots of food varieties and selections. The Phõ is always delicious and nutritious. The staff are very awesome at their jobs, although sometimes, when the establishment is super busy, the wait is a bit long for refills on drinks. We may have to remind the waiter a few times. But it's highly understandable. Overall, this restaurant is Freakingly awesome! I would go here everyday for dinner if I drove and had the time to go. AAA+++!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Caffrey's; City: Sherwood Park, AB; Review: There's good food, the weekend breakfast deals have great prices ranging from $8-$10 each. I had the hangover poutine for $8.00 it was excellent. It's got easy over eggs, bacon bits, green onions, and loads of gravy. My dad and Grandpa had the steak and egg deal for $10 my aunty had the pizza thing. I forgot how much it was. But they were all very delicious. I would go there again for the weekend breakfast deals. Their staff were friendly, listened well to their patrons, the staff were proficient at what they do at their jobs. Although they would need a few more on the weekends so that the one waitress doesn't have to do all of the work. I haven't had their coffee yet, but my grandpa did. I think he liked it. I'm not sure. Give him coffee, and he's happy. That's that way he is. I would rate this restaurant establishment a 10 of 10. Excellent work guys. Keep up the great work.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cineplex Sherwood Park; City: Sherwood Park, AB; Review: It's right smack in the middle of the mall, great location, easy access for cars and buses. Tickets are at least $13/person, on Tuesdays it's $6.99! I usually go to the movies on Tuesday if something I like or love is in theatres. The staff there are friendly, nice, and helpful, when the mobile kiosk to pick up movie tickets is down, the box office staff help you. I can't wait for the newest Eye-catching wizarding world movie in November. And all of the newest Eye-catching marvel movies. Their food is delicious, their poutine is not overly salty, the cheese isn't too big like Costco's cheese, their nachos are fresh every time. I love their points system. It's great. But also difficult to reset passwords and stuff if gmail deletes the accounts. You can only access the points.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Starbucks; City: Sherwood Park, AB; Review: I love Starbucks! Especially their Café Lattes, they are to die for.

I told one of my best mates mother about these establishments, it seems she loves it too. But probably the delivery part. Not sure about some of the sushi. But she does love the Avocado Hosomaki. And so do I. Fresh salmon hosomakis are my favorite. I'd give this establishment and just eat a 10 of 10. Great work guys.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: BlueCosto Wire Stripper Cutter for Round / Flat UTP Cat5 Cat6 Coax Coaxial Cable Stripping Universal Tool; Brand: BlueCosto; Review: My first time using an RG6 stripper and it worked.

The cutter is not meant for steel coaxial cable. It was able to cut through the cable, but it damaged the blade. I suggest getting a separate tool for cutting all the way through steel coaxial cable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maestro Sensor switch, 5A, No Neutral Required, Single-Pole or Multi-Location MS-OPS5MH-IV, Ivory; Brand: Lutron; Review: I have the 250w single pole (MS-OPS2-WH) and the 600w 3-way (MS-OPS5M-WH), so this review is for both. I've had these for about a month and I am very happy with them. I put one in an entry way and it is very convenient when walking in at night. I put the other one in a laundry room and that works well when carrying the laundry in. I'm no electrician, but they were easy for me to install. Just follow the instructions and be sure you understand everything you're doing. If you don't understand, watch more youtube videos or hire an electrician. I bought a non-contact voltage tester (fluke brand) to be sure that there was no current in any of the lines while I was working on them. You will also probably need a new switch plate. These do require a ground wire, so check that you have one in the switch box before buying. This is usually a bare copper wire. If you don't have one, this switch may not be worth the hassle of getting one put in. I have them set to auto on and auto off after 1 minute. They always come on right when I enter the room and I've never seen one turn on without someone in the room. One of them is pointed towards a window that has trees blowing in the wind and birds flying by, so it is just the right sensitivity. The sensitivity can be changed to a lower level from the default. They can also be changed to manual on and auto off for situations where you still want to control the light, but want to make sure it is not left on. They are supposed to not turn on if there is enough sunlight, but I have not experienced this. They turn on every time. The rooms I have them in don't get much sunlight, so maybe it just thinks they are always dark enough. It is also supposed to learn how much sunlight is too much by you manually turning it off, but I haven't noticed that either. Maybe they just need more time. There is an audible click when they turn on and off. It is not much louder than flipping a normal light switch. I believe this is because they use a relay to turn the power on and off. This is good because some other brands use a technique that still sends a small amount of current to the light when turned off. This usually causes issues with fluorescent and LED lights. This is not a problem with the Lutron switches and they should work with all lights. I am using them with CFL's and larger florescent lights without any problems. MS-OPS2-WH specific information: This is the one you want if your light is operated by one switch and is less than 250 watts. Besides being cheaper, the on/off click is slightly quieter than the 600w switch. MS-OPS5M-WH specific information: This is for 3-way (two switches for one light) and/or more than 250w, but less; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Dorus Hotel; City: Dubai Emirate of Dubai; Review: hotel is about ten minutes from airport, and is next to a bank, supermarket, bus stop and taxi rank. also there are other small shops and even a burger bar. Across the road is a large shopping centre with a Carrefour and other well known shops. The hotel door man is keen to help and check in staff were friendly, in fact all staff were helpful and would say hello whenever you passed them. Rooms were of a good size, clean and tidy and comfortable. Wifi was always working but not very fast. only two devices per room work on the code given but the receptionist just gave us two codes! There are various bars and restaurants but we never tried them, there is also a pool with a bar which is a nice place to relax on a hot evening. Finally the weather was hot, anywhere between 40 and 50 degrees but the aircon was good.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Arenaa Star Hotel; City: Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: on the edge of the city centre which makes it slightly cheaper but only. minutes from Petaling St. Our room had a brilliant view of The KL tower. The Staff were brilliant and always helping us with our wheelchair. reception staff were also helpful and quick to sort any problems. parking is limited but free and although there were a few homeless people at the bottom of the road they caused no trouble at all. Only let down was the bar on the mezzanine floor. it involved steps and half the menu was unavailable, staff in there did not seem as friendly. Besides the great view, our room was cleaned on a regular basis, had a large tv, wifi and free bottled water and a good aircon system. only complaint was the walls could do with a fresh coat of paint.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Abidos Hotel Apartment Dubailand; City: Dubai Emirate of Dubai; Review: The first thing to say about this hotel is that its hard to find, I knew where it was and could even see it from the motorway but one wrong turn and it all goes wrong. Once you understand exactly how to get to it you will not be disappointed. It is located about 15 minutes away from downtown Dubai but our room had a brilliant view of the city. The staff on reception were always friendly and smiling and always helpful. Our room was a two bedroom apartment so was technically self catering but the room is cleaned and toiletries replenished every day at whatever time you ask. The apartments are huge with plenty of space for for adults, there is internet, free parking, a pool and a restaurant. Next door is a very reasonably priced supermarket, again with really friendly staff. There is also a chemist and Pizzeria. The outlet mall is two minutes drive away and has loads of stores and food outlets. The hotel has a free shuttle bus if you don't want to drive but realistically you need a car and nerves of steel to drive. The highways are six lanes on each side but it still like Wacky Races"! This hotel is great value for money in a location that is going to grow and grow (and yet you never hear any building noise. Go now and you will still get to see "The mysterious Massive roundabout" that seems to serve no purpose. Highly recommended and an absolute pleasure to stay in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: B B Hotel Basel Weil am Rhein; City: Weil am Rhein Baden Wurttemberg; Review: The hotel is easy to find, just aim for the Swiss German border. Hotel is clean modern and tidy.

I cannot recommend this place enough; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ramla Bay Resort; City: Mellieha Island of Malta; Review: Stayed here for 10 nights and had two large standard rooms just within the old section of the hotel but right next to the atrium. The rooms seemed a little empty because of the size but had all that was needed. Plenty of towels ( although the swimming towel system is a bit unfair on people staying for longer periods) room cleaned every day, pretty strong wifi. The hotel has a pool which was shut but there was another one within the spa centre which could be used. The games room was simple and the shop seemed well stocked. The bar was reasonably priced for drinks and the entertainment was basic but seemed to please the type of people there. The breakfast was fantastic with more choice than you could imagine. Parking was free and everything is disabled/wheelchair accessible. The staff were generally friendly and always said hello. Only one member of staff seemed less than happy but as she was the only one I wont name her! You need a car to stay here although if you walk along the beachfront path and past the hotel next door there is a bus service that runs from the ferry into various other towns. Next to the other hotel is also a mobile shop ( although it doesn't go anywhere). It sells just about everything and is great value. The resort was a great place to stay. I would imagine in winter it is a lot different to summer when everything is busier but this hotel is highly reccommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

I would certainly recommend this hotel if you're staying in the Lakes. Couldn't ask for more! Breakfast was delicious!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vientiane Garden Boutique Hotel; City: Vientiane Vientiane Prefecture; Review: The hotel was clean, quite and the staff were very professional. The room was very spacious and the cleaners were very thorough. It is a short distance from the airport and the main attractions in Vientiane. Most are walking distance or a short tuk tuk drive. The hotel has a pool which has plenty of beds and is very clean. The only down side during our stay (and the reason we're classed this hotel as good rather than excellent) children were often left unattended at the pool and were very loud and over boisterous. We were not expecting silence and I can understand that children want to have fun - I don't have a problem with that. But, shouting at the top of their voices and splashing people sitting by the pool got a little annoying after a while. Either the absent parents should have interjected or the hotel should have said something.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: New Yangon Hotel; City: Yangon Rangoon Yangon Region; Review: This hotel was pretty average by normal standards but quite good for Yangon. Close to the Sule Pagoda and offers a range of tourist attractions in the reception. PROS: Friendly staff Good hot shower Exceptionally clean CONS: Internet was poor to absent Breakfast wasn't anything special; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: One Up Banana Hotel; City: Phnom Penh; Review: My partner and I just spent 5 nights here and I wish we could have stayed for longer. The hotel is located in central Phnom Penh and within walking distance of a range of great bars and restaurants. It is also close to all of the main tourist sites, often only costing a few dollars by tuk tuk. The hotel is clean, modern and has all of the necessary facilities.our room was quite large (much larger than the other rooms we've had in Asia for the same piece) and was cleaned daily. Excellent internet connection on all floors and the TV had a lot of English channels. The staff are what sets this place apart. They greet you in a warm, welcoming and professional manner which really makes you feel at home. They could teach the hotels in England a few things about hospitality! Thoroughly recommend and hope that we get to return in the not so distant future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Royal Ivory Sukhumvit Nana By Compass Hospitality; City: Bangkok; Review: PROS: The rooms are very reasonably priced and are a good size.

Title: Tower Club at Lebua; City: Bangkok; Review: Two night stay at the Tower Club and was not disappointed. The room was superb and very very large. The facilities throughout the hotel were accessible and not over crowded. The staff were smiling and seemed happy to greet you at every turn. Drinks at the sky bar were slightly expensive but worth it when you co spider that you have a panoramic view of Bangkok. I would recommend this hotel to everyone visiting Bangkok - just make sure you go out and see the city as well!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Oceano; City: Varkala Thiruvananthapuram District Kerala; Review: My wife and I had a very comfortable stay in the hotel. It was reasonably close to the main part of Varkala (3minutes by tuk tuk- 50 rupees) and it has access to the beach from behind the hotel (The gate is locked in the evenings). The pool is very nice and was quite empty during our stay. The staff are very friendly and very welcoming. There is a wonderful German lady working there who is very kind. Our only negatives would be the following: 1.) There is no A/C. 2.) We had a problem with the water. For the first 10 hours there was no water to have a shower and clean with. After 12 hour journey - we really needed the shower. 3.) Some of the hotel activities are quite expensive. For example - the Christmas eve meal was 2,400 rupees per person. During our night at the beach we had food, alcohol and desert for only 1,500 rupees for two people. 4.) A young German(??) woman who was sitting in the reception area for the Eco was quite rude to my wife. When my wife said that she was from Syria the woman looked shocked and said "interesting". When my wife explained that we live in Dubai she responded, "Dubai is so fake". Maybe this woman address the way she speaks to people if she works in the hotel business. 5.) Currency exchange. I asked about currency exchange and they told me that they could only do it in the evening. As we were checking out at 11am this wasn't very useful for us.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Abad Copper Castle Hill Valley Resort; City: Pothamedu Munnar Idukki District Kerala; Review: The hotel SCAMMED us during a taxi they organised for us. Paid for the trip... Got out to the mountains and all of a sudden the driver hands us a phone and they tell us to double the money or he won't take us! They told us it was the manager at the tourist desks fault due to a language barrier. English is my first language so there was no barrier for me. Complete SCAM artists!!! Do not go. I asked the manager to send me the details for complaints. Still haven't received a response even though she said it would be fine the same day (3days ago) Further to this... 1.) TV didn't work in room 2.) No fridge 3.) 30 minute wait for a warm coke in the restaurant. 40 minutes for food. 4.) Some staff say food is Halal and others say it isn't- who to believe? This is a serious issue for me and my wife. 5.) Shower was terrible didn't work properly. 6.) Very very poor English in the hotel. 7.) No communication between staff. Told them to organise a taxi for 9:30am. Called us at 8:30am to tell us to come to reception. 8.) Random phone call from reception at 10:30pm and then they hung up. Overall, a TERRIBLE experience and I would NOT recommend. The price does NOT represent the quality of the service or facilities.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Christine was rather gruff and stern but she runs a tight ship very well. The breakfast was filling and good but do not ask for variations in the menu!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shangri La Hotel Guilin; City: Guilin Guangxi; Review: The hotel's location is outside of Guilin. The rooms were clean and the buffet breakfast was good. The omelette was awesome and they had crispy bacon. the fruit selection could have been better. The location is not great.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Portman Ritz Carlton Shanghai; City: Shanghai; Review: Ok, first there is a funky smell as you enter each room. You either get use to it or it goes away after a while. The hotel is beautiful and the beds are very comfortable. The linens are divine. The shower was way above expectations. The amenities in the bathroom are much better quality than at home in the Ritz-Carlton. Toothbrush and toothpaste! The breakfast buffet was extensive and delicious. I would stay here again!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Nashville at Opryland; City: Nashville Davidson County Tennessee; Review: The hotel is older than most Fairfield Inns in which I have stayed. They are changing the beds. Our bed was comfortable and the room had new carpeting. There was a musty smell but when it is so hot I am sure most places have an air conditioning odor. The breakfast was fine. I liked that the fresh fruit that was more than just bananas. The staff was friendly and helpful.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Branson; City: Branson Missouri; Review: Our room was spotless. The breakfast was very good. The pool and whirlpool spa were clean and fun for our grandson. We would stay here again and I wouldn't say that about other Fairfield Inns in which I have stayed!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Gulfport Beachfront; City: Gulfport Mississippi; Review: The hotel is right across the street from the beach. The pool area is great. Our room was fine. The decor is dated which surprises me as the hotel was built after Katrina. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. The air conditioner is loud but nice white noise for sleeping. My only complaint was the breakfast. The food was cold and you could not get your own drinks - water and juice.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: SpringHill Suites Houston NASA Webster; City: Webster Texas; Review: The room was clean and cozy! The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was very good. We used the workout area and pool and found both clean. The staff was beyond friendly and professional. We were very happy with our stay and would stay again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Residence Inn Moline Quad Cities; City: Moline Illinois; Review: We have stayed here several times a year when visiting my sister-on-law. Our room was clean but the tub did not drain well. We also were told by housekeeping that we couldn't have an extra towel so that each of us had our own. The bed of the sleeper sofa was uncomfortable and my daughter and her husband said the head of the bed was much lower than the foot. It was so bad that they slept on the floor at my sister-in-law's rather than a second night on the sleeper. I would have told the front desk about our concerns but there was no one at the desk Sunday morning on any of my three trips to the desk. We finally gave up and left. I guess we will find a new place to stay on our next visit to Moline.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Residence Inn Portland Downtown Riverplace; City: Portland Oregon; Review: The bed was comfy, the room was very clean and the breakfast was delicious. I loved the fruit infused ice water except when they used melons. One should have applesauce with potato pancakes! It was a 30 minute walk downtown but it was a gorgeous stroll along the river.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lincklaen House; City: Cazenovia New York; Review: We stopped for lunch on our way to drop the birthday girl at the airport. It was quiet at 2:00 but the service was attentive and the food was great. My family loved the chowder and I liked my vegetable soup. Our sandwiches and salads were very good. I hope to get back there soon. It would be the perfect place for an event.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham St Louis Westport Plaza; City: Maryland Heights Saint Louis Missouri; Review: This is the poorest Marriott property where I have ever stayed. The only bed was a double bed. I haven't stayed anywhere with one bed that was not at least a queen. The sofa bed has to be moved so that it will fold out but then you have to climb over it to get around the room. It was a clean room but so dated. The were ice patches everywhere that were not treated. Walking to our room from the car was an adventure. The breakfast was good but why is there no applesauce for the potato pancakes? The staff was nice. The location was odd. You can see the expressway but it takes forever to get there.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Worcester Auburn; City: Auburn Massachusetts; Review: The hotel was clean and the staff was pleasant. The breakfast was ok. The pool was nothing fancy and the workout room needed some attention. It was a good location, close to stores and restaurants. My husband is a Marriott lover so it was his choice.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: WoodSpring Suites Cincinnati Airport Florence; City: Florence Kentucky; Review: This is a very clean hotel. The rooms were quite nice. The staff was wonderful. Breakfast needed fresh fruit and more healthy choices. The location was perfect. Turfway Race Track is right behind the hotel. There are any restaurants and a Target in walking distance. We were here for a family birthday celebration and the hotel staff was helpful and tolerant of my crazy family hanging out in the lobby.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tree Tops Bed and Breakfast; City: Sligo County Sligo Western Ireland; Review: Doreen is well educated in Irish politics and finance. We learned a great deal from her. Her B&B is comfortable and very lean. The location is perfect for leaving the car parked and venturing into town for dinner. The breakfast was a nice change from the traditional Irish breakfast we have been served elsewhere.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Moyrhee B B; City: Limerick County Limerick; Review: Agnes is the hostess supreme! The B&B is clean and well decorated. Our room was quiet and comfortable. The breakfast was awesome. Too much food but everything was soooo good! The location was ideal once we found it, ignore Meelick, it means nothing to the GPS. Great place to stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rockcrest House; City: Kenmare County Kerry; Review: Once we found the B&B, everything improved 100%! It was beautiful and David was delightful. The walk to town was easy. Our beds were comfortable. The shower was great. Breakfast by Marian was delicious. We would recommend this B&B to anyone driving the Ring of Kerry.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Residence Inn Cincinnati Downtown The Phelps; City: Cincinnati Ohio; Review: Great location and beautiful hotel. Our room was spacious, updated and clean. The staff was quite friendly. The breakfast was delicious. My family could walk to the football stadium and I could explore downtown. The terrace bar on the roof was a wonderful place to spend a Sunday afternoon!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Cincinnati North Sharonville; City: Sharonville Ohio; Review: I was disappointed in the cleanliness of the room, the beds, the breakfast and the noise level in the hallways. We won't be staying here again. The traffic noise that can be heard inside the room and the amount of traffic made the location very poor for visiting family in Cincy and in Dayton.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Place Indianapolis Airport; City: Indianapolis Indiana; Review: My family was staying here because we had a 6:05AM flight. The shuttle was ready and waiting at 4:50. That doesn't always happen but it happened here. The room was clean and the staff was pleasant. My only complaint was the bed. I didn't have time to look in the morning but it felt like sleeping on top of an old electric blanket with coils. It was the oddest feeling.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Three Rivers Lodge; City: Lake Tekapo Mackenzie District Canterbury Region South Island; Review: We only stayed at Three Rivers Lodge for one night but were left very impressed and happy with the lodge. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. Arriving in Lake Tekapo by bus and being dropped off in the main town, we were worried as to how we were going to get to the lodge with our suitcases. One phone call and Joanne sent her husband Dennis to come pick us up and take us back to the lodge. They were very welcoming and insisted that if we needed any lifts to town or back, we could just call them. They're very helpful and gave us extra towels when we informed them we were going to the hot springs, informed us about the town and how the weather drops very quickly as well as getting very dark so we should bring torches with us at night. The room was very comfortable, warm and clean which was very essential for me. The beds were comfortable and easy to sleep in and the shower/bath was very easy to use. A great accomodation to stay at with amazing views. Breakfast is also included which Joanne cooked for us in the morning which was a delicious meal. The review wouldn't be complete without mentioning their dog, Snoopy as well who was extremely playful and well behaved, very adorable. Overall, a very enjoyable stay with wonderful hosts, highly recommended to anyone staying in the area.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Moorings on Cavill; City: Surfers Paradise Gold Coast Queensland; Review: We had a wonderful stay at Moorings on Cavill, the manager was very friendly and helpful. The room was very large with a great view. There was a lounge, a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom and a laundry, a bargain with the price we paid! The location is very central and is easy to get to town for all the shopping, restaurants and the beach, it's just a walk away. The rooms are clean, the shower is easy to use and it was very comfortable. The deco is gorgeous and made us feel right at home. There is also a parking garage which was great for anyone who has a car. Would definitely come back here for our next stay and would highly recommend to anyone staying in Surfer's.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Oberland; City: Lauterbrunnen Jungfrau Region Bernese Oberland Canton of Bern; Review: Being a solo traveller, I generally dislike staying in hotels as it gets quite lonely but Hotel Oberland was wonderful. The room is very clean, very comfortable and the restaurant just downstairs is delicious and the owners are always up for a good chat. The room decor itself was so wonderful that it felt just like home with such an amazing view of the mountains. The owners go out of their way to help you, giving advice and information. They even drove me down to my bus stop in the morning to save me walking with my suitcase. All in all, a highly recommended place to stay and would definitely stay again next time without a doubt.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pension Goiko; City: San Sebastian Donostia Province of Guipuzcoa Basque Country; Review: A great place to stay with really friendly staff. The staff are usually volunteers who are super friendly and more than willing to help you in any way they can, there is a very laid back atmosphere. The room was extremely spacious with really comfortable beds. We had a share shower which really wasn't a problem as it was only shared between two bedrooms so you never had any issues. Kitchen facilities were available for the backpackers in need of budgeting and for the price, it was one of the best hostels I have stayed at. The location can't get any better as it is in the center of all the best dining, best bars, ATMs and supermarkets at your disposal. Highly recommended hostel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Emerald Palace; City: Florence Tuscany; Review: Had a mix up of the locations at first (don't trust googlemaps, type in the actual address given) but when the hostel was found, it was excellent. The location is right above the leather market (San Lorenzo) which is wonderful and dangerous for your bank account. They are there all day and night as well which makes it feel much safer walking through there at night. The rooms are clean, the shower is good and the hostel has two doors to get through so its very safe. The staff is very friendly and breakfast is provided in the mornings. The only problem I had was at night when the lights weren't always on making it difficult to see. Beware though, the actual hostel is on the third or fourth level so if you bring your suitcase, make sure it's light enough for you to carry up and down, if not, give it a skip and bring a backpack.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Stayokay Hostel Amsterdam Vondelpark; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: I wasn't expecting much from this hostel especially at the low price I paid but such a great value hostel. The staff are very friendly, the hostel is central to almost everything and the breakfast is so delicious. I stayed in a 12 bed dorm but the room is big enough for you not to notice too much, the bathrooms are clean, the beds are exceptionally clean and comfortable. A wonderful stay and would stay again in the future without hesitation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vintage Paris Gare du Nord; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: I had a very small room that was crammed with two bunk beds. The room was so tiny that when it was full, there was not much room for all guests to put their suitcases. The wi-fi didn't work in the dorms and only worked in the foyer. The lift was also broken for the whole time I stayed which was is a nuisance if you have a suitcase and are situated on the 4th level or higher. You get what you paid for though as the location is good, very close to two metros and close to some nice cafes.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Monaco; City: Munich Upper Bavaria Bavaria; Review: A little deceiving from the outside as there is not much to look at besides the dirty streets but an great gem of a hotel. Good prices, the rooms are very clean and comfortable. They make a great breakfast which is included and the ladies that work there are very nice. The location is good as it is quite central but there is a bit of nightlife at night so maybe not the best location for a family but it was excellent for a solo traveller to hear a bit of noise. Overall, a great stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Brooklyn Way Hotel BW Signature Collection; City: Brooklyn New York; Review: The hotel is located right next to the subway which is very convenient as you can easily get to Manhattan. The staff are very friendly and helpful however the room we got for three people was very small. There is just enough room to squeeze three people and when our suitcases are placed in there, it makes it very cramp. The price was was quite expensive for such a small room however we traveled during Thanksgiving so this may have had something to do with it. The streets have quite alot of food but there isn't much shopping in this location. Overall, the hotel was an average stay with good staff and a good location. Also beware, if you call a taxi from the reception, they will call private taxis which cost quite a bit more than your average taxis so try to tell them a company or you will be given the private taxis which don't go by a meter.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Blue Horizon Hotel; City: Vancouver British Columbia; Review: A great hotel in a great location. Just on Robson, minutes away from Downtown Vancouver and about a 20 minute walk to Stanley Park. The staff are very welcoming and the room is spacious and clean. The hotel is more expensive than others in the city but of of course, the location is superb and like with any hotel, you pay for the location. I would recommend it to anyone visiting and would stay there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Auberge de la Place Royale; City: Montreal Quebec; Review: Had a great experience at this hotel, has a vintage kind of feel. Check in and check out is very simple and they welcome you very warmly with your name written in chalk on your room's door. The room is huge, the beds are comfortable and the spa is excellent. It is in a good area around old Montreal where you can appreciate the sights and the nearby cafes and shops. I highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fallsview Casino Resort; City: Niagara Falls Ontario; Review: We originally arrived with a river view booked but were asked if we wanted to upgrade for a small amount per night for the falls view and it was definitely worth it. The room is spacious and boasts a big view of niagara falls. The room was very clean and comfortable and included a large spa which was very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and the location of the hotel is close to nearly everything. There are restaurants and a casino within a 5 minute walk and about a 20 minute walk away from Clifton Hill where there are more attractions like the big ferris wheel, mini golf, bowling etc. Definitely recommend this hotel and would come back again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rosebank House Bed and Breakfast; City: Strathyre Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park ; Review: Stayed a night in this hotel and felt right at home, great little town in the middle of nature and the hotel was recently renovated- very clean and beautifully decorated. Cosy, comfy and the breakfast is amazing- very accommodating even for vegetarians, hats off to Sharon & Davide. Felt right at home and will definitely be back another time, thanks so much guys!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beautiful Belleville Hostel; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: Good location, the hostel was very convenient. The room was clean, the bathroom was also clean. Great that the linen and towels were provided as well. The breakfast was decent but very simple, as other reviews have mentioned- it was just mainly bread but for a free breakfast- can't really complain! All in all, a good hostel for the location and the price- everything that you need for a solo traveller looking to stay a few nights.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Friends Hostel Apartments; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: We booked a private room and was surprised by it's size. The sharing area was huge and it felt very secure and private. The location was also great, right in the middle of the city surrounded by a lot of food places and really great bars. A definite must stay for it's price and value.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gili Turtle Beach Resort; City: Gili Trawangan Gili Islands Lombok West Nusa Tenggara; Review: We stayed in a basic room with no AC which I would not recommend as the room is very small. It was not cleaned once even though we stayed for two nights and the water was not working on a few occasions. Although we were warned that it would occasionally not work late in the evening, we were not expecting it to stop running from 10:30pm through to 8:00am on one of the evenings we were there- not great considering the weather was 30 degrees at night. The only saviour was that the staff were really friendly and helpful whenever we spoke to them. Overall, it was disappointing as it was not the cheapest resort we found on the island but it sure felt like it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Ping House; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: Cute little hostel, it's small but felt very homey and comfortable and was very clean. It is also very close to metro station and very easy to find. There were curtains on the bed which was great for privacy and the receptionist lent me her charger for my whole stay which was really kind. Good value for money!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Do Step Inn Central; City: Vienna; Review: Really great location as it is close to the main train station. Super accessible. Everything is very secure and done by self check in. Your "pod" bed is very secure as you are given a personalised access code but the doors can get a bit difficult to open and can also start to feel a little claustrophobic. Other than that, really safe and comfortable hostel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Oba Hotel; City: Istanbul; Review: Ismail (Owner/Manager) and staff were fantastic from the moment I booked. This cool little hotel is situated downhill from the Blue Mosque and in close proximity to another old mosque which really helps to find the place. On entering the hotel, the room looks like you could be walking into a home, which in other places, may be a little weird, but not there, Ismail is great and really helpful. It's also really clean, comfortable, very friendly and you never feel out of place. The room was comfortable and the bathroom super clean with a great shower. Staying at the Oba was great, being a booking agency they are also able to assist with arranging tours and tickets to concerts/events etc, so that's another thing less to worry about! I'd definitely return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: AG Hotel Gondar; City: Gonder Amhara Region; Review: This hotel is not look like much from the outside, but the rooms are well appointed and comfortable.

Title: 40 Winks Guest House; City: Cape Town Central Western Cape; Review: My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff were fab, the breakfast simple but great. It's a little walk from the Waterfront, which is fine during the day - taxi after dark. There are a few restaurants/eateries pretty close. I would stay again - in fact I tried to stay over Easter (2016) but fully booked...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Plataran Canggu Resort Spa; City: Kerobokan North Kuta Bali; Review: Plataran Canggu is the perfect place to rest and relax. Close the gate to your villa and you have 100% privacy to enjoy your pool and lovely tastefully decorated quiet space as you wish. The staff are lovely and accommodating, organising a tour or driver is super easy. I'd stay again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Pebble Beach Motor Inn; City: Napier Hawke s Bay Region North Island; Review: Despite a good brisk seven minute walk to the town centre, the Pebble Beach is in a good, quiet position overlooking the sea. The size of the 2 bedroom suite was impressive as was the quality of the fixtures and fittings (very comfortable kingsize bed), however sleeping next to a large spa bath was a little unnerving! A very friendly family run establishment.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bayview Motel; City: Paihia Bay of Islands Northland Region North Island; Review: Situated in a great position with a lovely view of the Bay of Islands, the Bay View Motel is typical of many privately owned motels in NZ: very well cared for, extremely clean but in need of an update. It would have been a courtesy to have been told on booking that an extension of the Kingsgate Hotel was being built within 10 metres of the motel during our stay, but I am sure that by the next season the building work will have been finished. It is also irritating to find that GST tax was not included in the price quoted especially in a tourist motel where the likelyhood is that the tax could not be reclaimed. However, the motel is a pleasant place to stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: InterContinental Wellington; City: Wellington Greater Wellington North Island; Review: Having been in New Zealand for a month we had become used to the friendliness of the staff in Hotels, especially Reception Staff, the InterContinental was no exception, friendly without being over familiar (how very British that sounds!). Apart from the rooms being a little on the small side I found it difficult to fault this hotel. I would reccommend upgrading to the Club rooms which are situated on the top two floors. They are particularly good value as guests are offered complimentary afternoon tea, post pre dinner drinks with canapes and continental breakfast (we made good use of the pre-dinner drinks). The staff in the Club Lounge were, once again, friendly and helpful. They arranged for the hotel limousine to take us to the airport the next morning. The cost was hardly more than a taxi (NZ$30) and the driver was charming. Altogether a memorable stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kingsgate Hotel Greymouth; City: Greymouth West Coast Region South Island; Review: We arrived in Greymouth on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Like many post industrial towns Greymouth has seen better days as had the Kingsgate Hotel. Without the sun one's mood might have suffered a serious decline into depression. The hotel seems to have been built in the seventies and nothing much has been done to it since. Having said that, the hotel was clean and the staff, as always in New Zealand, friendly. What's more, the overnight stay was extremely good value for money. This is a hotel for a convenient overnight stop and that's it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Tirrenia; City: Viareggio Province of Lucca Tuscany; Review: A lot of my friends in the UK have visited Viareggio recently and were keen to give hotel recommendations. I chose, however, to be guided by Trip Advisors and chose Hotel Tirrenia. I think I made a wise decision. The hotel is one of the best small hotels I have stayed in anywhere in the world - for the price. This may sound gushing but, for once, I cannot find a fault. The hotel is set back about 100m back from the seafront in a quiet side street; it is immaculately clean and everything worked. All the fixtures and fittings were of a very high quality. Best of all was the service provided by the proprietors. Being a family-run hotel, there was always a member of the family on duty who was polite, helpful and friendly without being, as they say these days, 'in your face'. They recommended good restaurants, booked car hire and taxis with good-natured charm. The breakfasts were excellent and speedily served. Perhaps I have found one fault - their brochure could be better so that I could hand them out to my friends and convince them of how great this little hotel gem is.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Sleep Inn Bryson City Cherokee Area; City: Bryson City North Carolina; Review: It wasn't anything fancy, but was perfectly clean, we had everything we needed, and the front desk staff were among the nicest I have ever seen.

Title: Comfort Inn; City: Douglasville Georgia; Review: This hotel was SO clean, the check-in was SO prompt, the rooms were very clean and nicely laid out, and the breakfast was great. We stayed here for a trip to Six Flags and would stay again on our next trip to this area. The coffee was good too and available all day long. We got an insanely great price too. It may not be anything fancy, but I cannot think of one thing to complain about.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn Suites East Chase; City: Montgomery Alabama; Review: This hotel was OK. The lobby was clean, as were the rooms. The breakfast was plentiful with lots of seating available. The hotel advertises Wifi, but has a known issue with the router. I am a nurse and I take after hours calls and log them into my computer in real time. I had to walk down and call SEVERAL times to have the router reset. I explained my situation and the necessity of an internet connection. No one was too concerned. They just told me they are about to replace the routers. We actually almost switched hotels that night because it forced me to do all of my calls back entry as downtime calls the next day when we reached our destination that actually had Wifi. This is not looked upon well by my employer. Another issue was with the pool. The picture online actually shows two pools. A small children's pool and a larger pool. It is clean and beautiful in the picture. In all actuality the small pool was filled in with concrete, and very poorly I might add, a long time ago. The pool area was a mess without the slightest resemblance of the picture on their website. I actually let my son's friend pick the hotel based on the pool pictures online. We love Sleep Inn and tend to seek out this chain, but this was a huge strike for them. I called after I got home from the trip and I felt like the situation was not handled well and not taken seriously. I was actually quite nice about the whole thing and the lady asked me what she needed to do to make me happy. Her tone suggested I was just a complainer but I have never called to complain after a hotel stay. I was a little shocked by the response I got so unable to give her an answer she gave me 2000 Choice points to put in my account. Considering a reward night STARTS at 30,000 points, I consider this very poor compensation for a night's stay that cost me hours in back data entry and affected me negatively professionally. This is my first negative review on Trip Advisor. The hotel has potential. The customer service leaves a lot to be desired.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Melange Bed and Breakfast; City: Hendersonville North Carolina; Review: My husband and I just returned from a 4 night trip to the Asheville/Hendersonville area. We spent two nights at another B&B, one night at the Melange, and one night at the Grove Park Inn. Our experience at the Melange was without contest the single greatest stay of not only this trip but of any place we have EVER stayed before. This will become our annual anniversary tradition, however we hope to make it back even sooner than that. The owners are the warmest, friendliest, most compassionate people. We were instantly impressed by them from the time they answered the door. They happily give tours, answer questions about the B&B and tend to any possible need you may have. I also like that they respect your privacy. They are there if you need them, but also stay out of the way to allow you to feel comfortable to make yourself at home. We enjoyed talking with them very much. The home and the grounds are exquisite. Every detail was thought of. I have never been in a home so old that was so well maintained. We stayed in the Pearl room and it was the largest room we have ever stayed in at a B&B. We felt like we were in a suite, but it is actually just one of the four regular rooms. The room was spotless, the temperature was perfect, we did not have any issues with noise, the bathroom was beautiful and well stocked with bath items and linens, the room had an iPod dock and a DVD player, and the king-size bed was comfortable and provided an awesome night of sleep. The view from the room was just marvelous as it looked down on the beautifully landscaped grounds below. All of this praise and I haven't even gotten to the best part....THE FOOD! Wow!!! It was the most amazing breakfast I have ever experienced. The food was delicious and elegant. I had plenty to eat, but it was light enough that I did not feel full and uncomfortable afterwards. We were allowed to choose our breakfast time the night before, so my husband and I slept in a little later and caught up on some much needed sleep. We met a couple who love this B&B so much that they have spent their last 10 anniversaries there. In the ten years they have visited, they said they have never been served the same dish twice. They live 4 hours away and travel a lot, but this B&B is their very favorite place to spend time together. I can see why! There is a very good reason why this B&B is #1 on Trip Advisor in the area. It is so well-deserved. These owners are honest, hard-working people that are passionate about providing the best Bed and Breakfast experience their customers have ever had.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 1898 Waverly Inn; City: Hendersonville North Carolina; Review: I think this place is an amazing value. The staff are so warm and welcoming, the rooms are comfortable and clean, the service is outstanding, and the breakfast is plentiful and delicious. They have baked treats in the afternoon, coffee and other hot beverages available at all times, a fridge with water and soft drinks, and evening wine hour with grapes and delicious cheese and crackers. The rooms have DVD players and there is a huge selection of DVDs, puzzles, and books that you may borrow during your stay. They even have a microwave with bags of microwave popcorn available. They are just so extremely generous. We will visit this place again and I hope it is SOON!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Disney s Polynesian Village Resort; City: Orlando Florida; Review: We are here now. We arrived 3 days ago. I will update this review with more pictures and details at the end of our stay. Overall, we are pretty delighted with this place so far. The location is very convenient, it never feels crowded, the transportation is convenient, the front desk staff are outstanding (we really like Pete, Hannah, and Chris), the coffee is great, the parking is plentiful, and the housekeepers do a great job. The food, staff, and selections are great at Captain Cooks, which is the hotel's "food court." We have had a few "magic" touches that have really made this stay special. I am not sure we would ever want to stay anywhere else in Disney after having experiencing this.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Drury Inn Suites Greenville; City: Greenville South Carolina; Review: We actually live in a neighboring town, but we love the Drury chain and my younger 2 boys have frequently asked to stay at this one. Since my husband and oldest son are knee-deep in a project, the little guys and I took off for a fun night away. We used the online e-saver rate and got a fabulous deal. For the boys, it was love at first sight. The lobby is clean and inviting. We were greeted and checked in quickly and kindly. The lady at the front desk gave us the quick low down of all of the amenities and then offered to answer any questions. We had requested a high floor in the comments of our reservation, so the boys were thrilled to hear that we got the top floor. They played "office" on the desk in the room while I caught up on some business online. We then walked to Whole Foods for a sweet treat and then took a walk through Petco to view the animals. The evening reception was awesome. The boys loved the pasta and meatballs as well as the nachos. I had a salad with some yummy soup. The bartender offered to make the boys Shirley Temples, which the loved! I enjoyed a tequila sunrise. Each guest is given a card for 3 complementary drinks. The servers were fun and so sweet. We are now back in the room watching TV together in the comfortable beds. We will definitely be back. The boys have already requested to come back for their birthdays.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Drury Inn Suites Orlando; City: Orlando Florida; Review: We love Drury Inns, no matter where they are, and this is probably our new favorite. Friendly staff, clean rooms, and great food. I would definitely stay here again in the future if in the Orlando area.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Park On Main Hotel; City: Highlands North Carolina; Review: This is definitely in my top 5 of all of the hotels that I have ever stayed in. It is beautiful inside and out. I did not see one thing that looked run down or old. This hotel looks brand new! It is amazing that so many dogs stay here. The place is insanely clean. The room was big, the temperature was good, the towels and bed linens/pillows were plentiful, the whole place is quite and serene, and the theming is adorable. There are dog pictures everywhere. Even with the fun and playful theming, the place still comes off as very upscale. My kids were welcomed and were amazed by the place. I really cannot come up with a single con to share. The parking garage is well lit and secure. The lay out of this hotel seems very well thought out. All of the exterior doors require key access except for the main entrance. The town is so precious, and the shopping and food options are plentiful despite the small-town feel. Thanks for a relaxing and fun getaway. I hope to do it again sometime!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Place Orlando Lake Buena Vista; City: Orlando Florida; Review: We stayed one night here before moving onto a Universal Resort hotel for the week. The close proximity to Disney Springs was a big draw for us. We had a delicious meal at T Tex at Disney Springs. We were parked and at the restaurant within 10 minutes of leaving the hotel. Our room was spacious, very clean, and beautifully decorated. The layout was nice, the temperature control was excellent, and the shower pressure was great with instant hot water. We all really enjoyed the breakfast. The offerings were plentiful and delicious. Overall, I have no complaints. We would not only stay here again, but we will be giving this chain a closer look in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Disney s Wilderness Lodge; City: Orlando Florida; Review: Ok. I did not expect to love this hotel as much as I did. We have visited several Disney hotels, many deluxe. We have also stayed club level at all of Universal's top tier resorts. While most that we have visited also earned 5 stars from us, this one is now our number one! The hotel is gorgeous. The rooms are clean, fun, and well laid out. The bathrooms are big with all of the comforts of home. My kids wanted to just spend the days exploring the hotel and grounds. The club level is outstanding. Clean, huge, well laid out, and with the kindest staff ever! Judith even sent a special birthday treat to my son. It absolutely meant the world to him, and to me as well! The food was amazing. So many choices. It was pretty to look at and delicious to eat. It truly feels first class. I felt like a kid in there myself. It was hard not to try all of the desserts! We will be back for a longer stay in the future. You do not want to miss this experience!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Homewood Suites by Hilton Atlanta Airport North; City: Atlanta Georgia; Review: We stayed here prior to a trip to Disney. It is actually a great hotel. Clean rooms that are quite large, yummy breakfast, convenient evening reception, fun pool, nice staff, and very conveniently located just a few miles from the airport. My only complaint was that the shuttle driver drive like a maniac. It was scarier than any ride we rode at Disney. Both of my kids agreed! Outside of that, I will certainly be staying here for future trips with flights out of Atlanta. The kids thought it was a real treat!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Disney s All Star Movies Resort; City: Orlando Florida; Review: I hate to sound like a snob, but we found this place to be a little gross. Crusty carpet, unidentified stains, etc. our bathroom faucet was leaking and they had to come work on it twice. It was an incredible bargain, but you do get what you pay for. We stayed here just one night because we were going to be late in the parks for the Halloween party and leaving the next morning and hated to waste the expense of a nice resort when all we would be doing is showering and sleeping. The staff were very helpful, especially the bell hops. If budget is your #1 interest, then this may be your place. We usually stay moderate or deluxe, but have stayed at Pop Century and personally like that resort much more than this one. I gave it 4 stars because we were treated very kindly.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hotel Il Giardino; City: Pisa Province of Pisa Tuscany; Review: The most basic hotel we have ever stayed at although location one of the best! Market right outside the door, macdonalds next door and the leaning tower a very short walk away. Breakfast as basic as the hotel so chose macdonalds on our second day! A very noisy hotel too! Also you have to pay up front! We now know why! Friendly staff so if your ok with hostel type room then you would be ok to choose this hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Atipik Hotel Alexandra; City: Annecy Haute Savoie Auvergne Rhone Alpes; Review: Great location as situated in the heart of annecy. Nice room overlooking the street which was noisy due to the bin men who must start at the crack! Staff friendly and helpful apart from one. After an issue with the underground parking, the hotels discount ticket did not work! So parking was not free and it cost us 30 euros! Not helpful with that! We didn't eat breakfast here but chose to eat nearby which was lovely. Very pretty place Annecy. So although great location due to the parking issue wouldn't stay again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel; City: Saint Quentin Aisne Hauts de France; Review: We were on a trip to to south of France so this hotel was perfect for a stop over. Clean, nice friendly staff. There isn't much to do in saint quentin so ok for 1 night. Breakfast was good if a little expensive if you don't eat too much which we don't. We were recommended a nice restaurant close by Brochettes &Cie, really nice meal. Good parking right opposite but don't park under the tree! We have a motorbike and it was covered in sap! All in all a good hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Guardian Wolf (Black Mesa Wolves #1); Author: J.K. Harper; Genres: paranormal, fiction, fantasy, romance; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal) on Goodreads. It's a great opener for the series though I found it a little bit hanging. I'm into the characters and I'm expecting more of their love story in this book. But this is a well explained book. The characters were very straightforward, you can really see the author's passion in writing this book. So for paranormal-romance lovers who loves to read short stories with a little twist, I recommend you this book.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Alpha Wolf (Black Mesa Wolves #2); Author: J.K. Harper; Genres: paranormal, fiction, fantasy, romance; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal) Wow! This book is really a page-turner.

Title: Hunting Wolf (Black Mesa Wolves, #3); Author: J.K. Harper; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I was given this book in exchange for an honest review, Lovers of Paranormal. Wow! The story of this book is so amazing. The two main characters have very big differences but it shows that love and desire really can conquer all. Even though Caleb is a rough man he still melted in the presence of her woman, Rielle. I like the ending because Caleb don't have to overthink his duties at the moment, he can have all the time with Rielle. Grab this book for those who want to enjoy and feel the love all over again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Salem's Secrets; Author: Helena Shaw; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I have received this book for an honest review from the author (LoP, Lovers of Paranormal) I've been looking for this kind of story line, historical romance. It never gets me bored though I'm craving for more. I definitely like the instant connection thing and the mysteries behind. Historical secrets with a love story twist! It all fixed up.

Title: Chase and the Fallen Angel; Author: R.J. Castro; Genres: paranormal, young-adult, fantasy, fiction; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal) Unexpected cover, but fun to read. In my years of living I just half-believe in Guardian angels, though I really want to believe but I haven't experience or seen one. This book made me fantasized more on life, death and after-death. It's easy to read and much more with an almost perfect family of Kyle, Claire and Alex. Chase is an ordinary, stubborn but good at heart. I'm a person with shallow happiness sometimes, so this kind of story is very enjoyable and I want to live in here..; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Fall; Author: Stephen Cost; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal) Totally entertaining, one of the few authors who can write wittily and poetically. You can really feel the excitement while reading from the very beginning until the end. STEPHEN COST is one of the few men who can write that kind of story that you want to finish reading but you don't want to end. Man it drives me crazy and I'm craving for more. I can't wait for the next stories to come. STEPHEN COST is now on the list of my favorite authors.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Cult of Me; Author: Michael Brookes; Genres: history, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review. Not all books that I read made me feel like this... longing for the characters and the story itself. I don't want to end this story for the rest of my life. (if possible) :D Another 5/5 on my rating!!! At first I'm half-intrigued and half-hesitant on reading this book. So I just thought I'm gonna try this and see if it will meet my expectations. And I had to admit, once I started reading this I became addicted and I couldn't stop myself from finishing it. It exceeds all of my expectations. From mind reading into a brilliantly-twisted religious history. THE CULT OF ME is another a-must-to-read for mystery lovers out there. An unusual story of a villain turned into saving humanity for a while with his vengeance. Can't wait to be given a chance to read the next book and hopefully all of Michael Brookes' books.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blue Woman Stories volume 1: collected lesbian erotica of Cheyenne Blue; Author: Cheyenne Blue; Genres: romance; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Title: Blue Woman Stories Volume 2; Author: Cheyenne Blue; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: ...forgotten the feeling of being completely love, forgotten the feeling. Now I'm done.

I'll give this book a thumbs up and a 5/5 rating!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Evil and the Fear; Author: Gary Bonn; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, young-adult; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the Lovers of Paranormal group on Goodreads. It made me think of the society nowadays. People were busy improving their lives and made it complicated. Whereas if you're living a simple life things will get less complicated and we'll have a happier lives ahead of us. It's a one-arrow-two-target kind of story. It's an awakening without knowing, using some young, innocent, crazy characters. Sounds crazy but it made sense. The Evil and The Fear will make you try to reflect yourself from the society. It's a gateway in which people can understand the perspectives of mentally unstable persons. The story in this book will somehow transcend from the rest.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Time's Eye (A Time Odyssey, #1); Author: Arthur C. Clarke; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: At first this book was the last on my to-read list on my bookshelf but when I started reading it I was really shocked by the story. There's like a time machine, the characters mysteriously traveled from different eras and it was very, very interesting. There's history, science, known people from the past, all in one. I hope I can read the next 2 book of it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Can I rate 6 stars for this one? Oh my! This is what I'm really looking for. Gothic, mixed with classical and present characters, witchcraft, and let's not forget the core of the spellbinding quest, LOVE. On every book that I read I always judge on every author's way of expressing the characters sides and Lauren Smith never failed me on this story. I, myself want to indulge and be on the story, live. That's the impact of the book. Why am I not interested in this genre before? Thumbs up for Lauren Smith!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Life and death phenomenon never cease to amaze me. Nicholette Campbell is such a brilliant author. Emotions and paranormal mixed together and produced this one of a kind story. The main character is young but every individual can indulge with her. Life, death, family and purpose was circling in this book. Can't wait to witness the next book for this series.

Title: First Contact (Haunts For Sale #1); Author: Kat Green; Genres: romance, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review from Lovers of Paranormal. About the characters are attitudes; Sloane's a hard-headed-childlike-woman but well we can't blame her, she had a purpose. Michael's very understanding. Joan's control and being so patient is what I like most. I seldom encounter this kind of book, I always felt the chill while reading it especially on night times. The ghosts were creepy, active and well very helpful. The story's good with no segues and it's direct to where it should be. 5/5 ! :); Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Last River To Cross; Author: A.V. Roe; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal) A.V. Roe described it well and very detailed, I can picture out images easily out of my brain. :) The story's erotically entertaining. Hot and sexy scenes from the start til the end using different character manifestation. This succubus thing who fell in love is new to me.Indeed love conquers all. Most people would watch magazines with sexy images just to be aroused, mind you, A.V. Roe's is worth a try.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Return To Lemuria; Author: Richard Gradner; Genres: paranormal, fantasy; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal) I had to really focus from the beginning to the end simply because I want to know how the author twisted the Lemurian story in this book. I was indulged momentarily for it uses characters from the past and future, so it's easy to comprehend. It always reminds readers that no matter what, goodness will prevail. I felt revived for the result of the story's end. Felt like the beginning has yet to come.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children, #1); Author: Ransom Riggs; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: The idea of making stories out of unknown vintage photographs is brilliant! I also remembered stories told by oldies when I was young about the world paralleled to us but they live on trees and sometimes they took people they liked and assumed dead in our world. I wish I can travel in a world like this. My mind's still in the book, in the unknown world. Emma's and Abe's love story was a classic and I was moved by it. The photos, the things that happened between them.... As for the pictures I was shocked, I never expected to see photos in the book and it was creepy looking at it at night. But that was the kind of things I wanted to see, old and mysterious. So much for that I'm looking forward to explore worlds made by Mr. Riggs' imaginations.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 29; Author: Nancy Pennick; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, romance, mystery; Review: I received this book in exchanged for an honest review. A typical-curious-teen-love-story with a twist from the cover itself, up to the story-line. The "29" thing made me grab the copy because it made me curious which is a good thing for authors who would love to get their reader's attention. I love how the story goes, I became excited on every pages. I like how the story made me hate Doug, a little disappointed with Allie's parents, likes Ashley and Nate, and being amazed by the Montgomery's and the Niners. Realizing Allie's bravery at the end made me happy at the same time sad but we'll never know what comes next. Looking forward for the next book. This book is not only for teenagers but for those lovers of technology, awesomeness, and LOVE itself.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: What Really Happened in Peru (The Bane Chronicles, #1); Author: Cassandra Clare; Genres: history, young-adult, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: That was fun! Magnus be like... Young, Wild and Free!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cursed Gold; Author: Lois D. Brown; Genres: history, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Okay. So I got this free copy from the author itself, and thank you for that. :) What opted me to read was the summary itself and it falls on my reading interests. The author packed it with short yet interesting, thrilling, magical story; let's not forget the short love story. I want more of it and more actions under the water, though I was quiet scared when the action under took place. It's a good book and a-must-to-read short story. And I'll be following Lois D. Brown from now on. :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Wizard Hunt (The Forgotten Wizard, #1); Author: C.J. Thompson; Genres: history, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Aside from an interesting synopsis, the cover was stunning and interesting so I downloaded it 'cause it's also free! For the love of someone most dear, Roland had to be a man enough to face whatever challenge they may encounter. The Forgotten Wizard: The Wizard Hunt is a relaxing fantasy. Though I was hoping it's a stand-alone story.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Never Never (Never Never, #1); Author: Colleen Hoover; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, romance, mystery; Review: A positive cliffhanger! The more I read, the more I became intrigued. Reading a book which you don't have a hint on what happened before a situation is something worth reading. It's my first read from Colleen Hoover & Tarryn Fisher and I must say they are worth to follow.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Dream Merchant; Author: Isabel Hoving; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: I was in a mood for adventure/fantasy read and I accidentally bumped into this book, it was actually a used book and without second thought I grabbed it! It was indeed an original adventure and a page-turner. *Josh - vision, Teresa-storyteller, Baz-drummer; unusually good combination of abilities for a team and let us not forget the collective dream world of Umaya that made it a good read. The translated version was comprehensible and it was highly recommended for all ages.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: Reykjavik City HI Hostel; City: Reykjavik Capital Region; Review: Stayed here during a class trip. Nice hostel, with a convinience store (24h) in walking distance. Downtown is a short taxi trip (2000 ISK). They served an okay breakfast, had free wifi, a nice livingroom. And clean dorms. Their location is a little drawback, but taxi is not expensive. You can experience Reykjavik during the day, and come back to get some sleep.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hostelling International Seattle at American Hotel; City: Seattle Washington; Review: This hostel is close to the train station (which has trains going to the airport all the time). Also walking distance to Seattle Downtown. Buses go all the time (and are free in downtown Seattle!). The football and baseball stadium are also in walking distance. Chinese restaurants are right next door (it is in the international district). Friendly staff, clean rooms. They serve breakfast, which is okay, concidering you don't have to pay extra. I can recommend this place for a stay in Seattle, and next time I go there I will definitively stay there again!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Surprise Backpackers; City: London England; Review: Really good location. The facilities were a little bit old, but for me that is not a big deal. They had enough showers/toilets. The staff were friendly. Close to the Victoria train station, and Pimlico tube station. I walked down to see the major sightseeing stuff, and it was not too far. Two convinient stores are located nearby. The bed was not very comfy, and the room I stayed in was next to a trafficed road. But I was tired, so sleeping wasn't really a big problem. If you want to stay in London on a low budget, I recommend this place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Duo Housing; City: Washington DC District of Columbia; Review: Free breakfast was great! Showers didn't look very clean though, hostel should pay more attention to this. Also saw some bugs in the hallways. But great value! Just note that their "luggage storage room" is just a open spot in the hallway, with a camera. Was not a problem for me, but might be for some people. I would stay here again!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Friend Street Hostel; City: Boston Massachusetts; Review: In Boston, there isn't a lot of hostels to choose from. Their location is not too far away from downtown Boston (10 minutes walk), and is easy to find from the Metro station. Only concern is that it seems to be in an area where there is a lot of homeless people, so try to avoid the local 7-eleven (they were sitting outside there every time I went there), I felt it uncomfortable. Rooms are clean enough, but the beds do not have normal mattresses, they have airbeds. This may be a problem for some people. But I did not mind.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Defiant; Author: Visit Amazon's Bobbi Smith Page; Review: I picked up Defiant, thinking I'd be reading a western novel. When I saw that it was a romance novel, I didn't expect I'd finish it. I couldn't put it down after I started the book and stayed up till 3:00 AM to finish it. The plot: Texas Ranger Clint Williams assumes a false identity to hunt down the gang that murdered his family, only to have his journey complicated when a radiant preacher's daughter named Rachel falls in love with the false identity. Should Clint, who returns Rachel's affections, continue his hunt or try and repair his broken life? What a non-romance reader would like about it: The characters of this novel were probably its key feature. When they first appear on the page, it appears like they'll be stereotypes, but Bobbi Smith did a good job in making them unique. I was laughing out loud at the description of Rachel's father, the Reverend Martin Hammond, who was neither a paragon of virtue nor a bumbling idiot like most depictions of western preachers. Another recommending feature of the novel is the action, which is gripping and well paced. Although the run-of-the-mill western includes some form of a gunfight, Smith pulled off a believable western without having to resort to overused shooting situations. What a romance reader would like about it: Clint and Rachel's relationship was--I felt--realistic in that it took time and honesty to mature. The spunky Rachel proved she could take care of herself, but was so innocent that I thought she'd a perfect match for Clint, who's both trusting and experienced. What I didn't like about it: While I liked most of the characters in the book, I wasn't too fond of Clint. He came across as kind of one-dimensional at times. Whenever he makes a plan in the story, it usually works out fine, and apart from his struggle in his relationship, I didn't really see any evidence that he was having a hard time. Another personal issue was that while the book was researched, there were a handful of research errors that were jarring to read. In the Old West, the terms 'handgun' and 'sexy' were not used, but they're present in Defiant. Also, Smith was fairly vague about the types of guns used in the novel. Fans of westerns can probably guess that Clint uses a Colt Single-Action Army .45, but it would've been more effective to include the information since the type of gun a person wore in the Old West said a lot about their character. As it is presented, the arbitrariness gave the impression that Smith didn't care enough to research the weaponry. Finally, to those it may concern, Clint and Rachel have sex twice, both times watered down but described. Also, at one point, a character chats with a prostitute and she ends up stripping. Overall, a nice read that'll probably please fans of the historical romance or the western.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Revenge (Lawman) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Christine Carminati Page; Review: Revenge tells the story of Hannah, who becomes bounty hunter Hannah Venganza ("Revenge" in Spanish) to get revenge against the Kelly gang who injured her and raped her sister. Her one-jury justice system conflicts with U.S. Marshal Hezekiah Coe, who wants to bring in the Kelly gang to prove that he's not like his grandfather Judge Samuel Meriwether, who pardoned the Kelly gang. Rather than fight each other, Coe and Hannah reluctantly join forces to take down the Kelly gang. What I liked about it: The plot is somewhat generic but interesting. The author researched the aspects of this novel that a western reader would look out for. The author writes the book in the first-person, but switches between Hannah and Hezekiah's point-of-view. Normally I'd find this move annoying, but Christine Carminati pulled it off effectively. What I didn't like about it: While the plot was interesting, it was riddled with clichs from "The Magnificent Seven", and there were no plot twists in the whole book that weren't predictable. With only one or two exceptions, all the men in this novel are arrogant, incompetent, sex-driven characters with no dimension, who turn a blind eye to all the bad things Hannah does in the novel just because she's pretty and good with a gun. At one point, for example, Hannah betrays Hezekiah's trust and he forgives her after a couple of pages, simply because they sleep together. For some reason, Carminati doesn't seem to like describing things. Hannah wasn't described until further in the book, we're told about scenery rather than being shown ("she entered the stable"), and when Carminati does describe something, it tends to drag on more than necessary. For instance, there is a torture scene involving the privates of one of the gang members, which is not only graphically described but takes almost six pages. Another particularly annoying element was the fact that Hezekiah Coe and the other U.S. marshals are so incompetent as law officers, despite being told repeatedly how much experience they've all had. Hannah took out more gang members by herself in three years than the marshals, despite the fact that in the Old West, federal marshals depended on their abilities to catch outlaws because they were paid by catch rather than by salary. The worst element for me is the character of Hannah. I have no problem with female gunfighters, but the manner in which Hannah went out of her way to act like a man (the author made no attempt to give Hannah a 19th century worldview) made this feel more like a critique of gender roles than a western adventure. Venganza repeatedly bemoans the fact that she's essentially a hardened killer, despite the fact that several characters continuously point out that she only kills murderers and rapists. After a while, her concerns come across as just self-pity parties, and I started to doubt her as a character. On top of that, it was annoying how her sole justification of working with Coe and the marshals is because she claims that she needs them and; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Easy Way to Write Short Stories That Sell (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Rob Parnell Page; Review: This little how-to-write fiction manual covers everything from idea generation to proper instructions for a good query letter. Emphasized are techniques for story generation from Rob Parnell's seminars. What I liked about it: Parnell's writing is clear, accurate, and understandable. Although it's one of the shortest how-to-write fiction manuals I've read, Parnell does an excellent job of breaking down the writing process. His instructions are clear and pretty consistent with other manuals I've read in terms of content. Parnell includes a chapter with an excellent list of must-read short story writers that spread several genres. The short story market listing at the end is a must for any aspiring short story writer, since it provides an excellent starting point for marketing. What I didn't like about it: The only reason I didn't give this a five star review is because while Parnell thoroughly examines how to write the short story, I felt like he didn't give enough emphasis on how to sell them. For example, he talks about writing for the markets by studying the magazines you hope to write for, but he never mentions what to look for in those magazines. Also, just a pet peeve, Parnell makes a lot of claims in this book but doesn't include too many references. I personally want to see references for the sake of extra reading/evaluating the claims. If you are a short story writer who is serious about publishing your work, definitely invest in this book. Just be sure to supplement it with a manual on how to publish your short stories, how to break in to the market, or what to look for (in terms of story) in short story magazines.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Otherworld: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Jared C. Wilson Page; Review: A cow mutilated beyond human capabilities sends the rural suburb of Trumbull, Texas into a frenzy of excitement as alien involvement seems to be the only logical explanation. Whether or not aliens are behind it, or the recent murders of Trumbull citizens, journalist Mike Walsh, police captain Graham Lattimer, and disillusioned pastor Steven Woodbridge find themselves caught up in the middle of the investigation. What I liked about it: The plot, incorporating elements of science fiction and speculative fiction, was interesting. As another reviewer mentioned, I like that Christian fiction can extend to areas beyond Amish romances The narrative is structured in a similar manner to Stephen King's Carrie. That is, the story is surrounded by journal entries, magazine articles, and other assorted documents that further the story. It's both handled well and makes it interesting. What I didn't like about it: Wilson did not include any characters in this story. He wrote a story including time-worn tropes and cliches: a disillusioned pastor who only became pastor of a mega church because his parents forced him to, a college professor with scientific skepticism of Christianity, a teen punk whose drug addiction leads him to crime, and a police chief skeptical of extraterrestrial activity to name a few. While I understood the need for certain characters to be in certain places, the police in this story were generally incompetent and verged on being unbelievable after some time. What I especially didn't like about this novel was the way it incorporated the same element of man-bashing sexism that is prevalent in most Christian fiction. We learn early on in the story that Mike's wife Molly left him because he chose to spend more time watching TV than with her. Mike not only accepts this as his fault completely, but kicks himself for thinking that perhaps Molly also should shoulder some blame for leaving him without talking to him about his behavior. The novel appears to agree with Mike, because Molly's behavior is never questioned, examined, or argued against. At one point, Mike temporarily reunites with Molly, and the manner in which she is described as "a picture of grace and beauty, mercy personified. An object of desire, a purpose for sacrifice. His love, his life. His wife." This not only reads as goddess-worship, but ignores Mike's earlier speculation that perhaps he has created an idol out of Molly. As if this isn't enough, the novel goes on to commit every other relationship cliche Christian fiction has come up with before: everything wrong in the relationship minus Molly's leaving is a result of Mike's taking her for granted; Molly is essentially faultless, which is highlighted by her marrying a highly flawed Mike; Mike wasn't all that into God which contributed but got more interested after she left; and she didn't really want to leave him, but she felt like she had no choice. In the end, it wasn't a horrible book, as the plot kept my interest despite the cliches. If the cliches listed above don't seem too imposing, Otherworld will make a nice read.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Wilda's Outlaw; Author: Visit Amazon's Velda Brotherton Page; Review: Wilda's Outlaw tells the story of an English lady raised in a Catholic Convent in Manchester, who goes to the American West to marry Lord Blair Prescott. She doesn't love him exactly, but the opportunity of a new life in the west for her and her sister and cousin is too good to pass up. En route, Wilda's train is robbed by the notorious Calder Raines Gang. Wilda is impressed by the handsome Calder, who awakens strange desires in her. Later, after discovering how cold Lord Blair is and how horrible marriage to him would be, she recruits the outlaw Raines to kidnap her and rescue her from Lord Blair's clutches. **What I liked about it** I appreciated how this story largely revolves around the clashing Western American and Victorian England cultures. Most stories about the Old West neglect the English presence and instead opt to clash American Western culture with American Eastern culture. As other reviewers have mentioned, the language was handled wonderfully, with the exception of a couple awkward wordings. The research for this novel wasn't only well-done, but also was never dumped on the reader. Nowhere did I feel like the author was trying to impress me with everything she knew about the west. Several scenes, especially the jail scenes near the end, were a combination of funny and tense. **What I didn't like about it** While several characters were unique and well-written, several more fell into Western Romance cliches that could have been done better. Most notably for me were Wilda's cousin Tyra (the spunky strong-willed girl), Calder's right-hand man Baron (the huge, stinky, rude, sexist outlaw), Simmons (the stiff-collared butler), Mrs. Chessire (the easily-scandalized Victorian governess who does little but gasp and fuss), and in some ways Wilda. Wilda is easily shocked at the looser morals, language, and ways of the west, and constantly finds herself thrown in those situations. The only reason I'm not outright calling her a cliched character is because she's English. If Wilda had been an Eastern mail-order bride, then she'd definitely be stereotyped. A couple other characters, like Lord Prescott, verged very close to be stereotyped. While I got used to the formatting after a while, it might have been easier to read if the author had maintained some standard eBook conventions. For example, each chapter has the same font, size, and formatting as the text, which made the distinctions between chapters blurry (the author attempted to sharpen the distinctions by placing a journal entry at the beginning of each chapter--very well done--but reformatting would have helped). Wilda and Calder's chemistry was there, but their relationship seemed to drag on. I appreciate the consistency of Calder's character, but his restraint came across as annoying around the middle of the book, after repeated professions of affection. What I really didn't like about the book came from unmet expectations. First and foremost, "Wilda's Outlaw" is a romance novel set in 19th century Kansas. I was expecting more of a Western Romance. Apart from the language of the characters, there wasn't anything to give it; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: London City Old Street Hotel; City: London England; Review: This hotel was definitely up to Premier Inn's reliable standard. The staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic, fresh and great value-for-money. Everywhere was clean. The room was good although we had to reboot the satellite connection to get the TV to work properly and it was small for a family room with no space between the beds. However I guess that's to be expected for most of central London. The location is only a couple of minutes walk from Old Gate tube and convenient for the City, St Paul's Cathedral, Bank of England etc. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Cardiff West Hotel; City: Wenvoe Vale of Glamorgan South Wales Wales; Review: The hotel was the same reliable standard that we have come to expect from Premier Inns. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and well stocked. We had a family room which had 2 single beds for the children. This is something that Premier Inns always provide (unlike most hotels that expect them to share a double bed) and one of the main reasons we chose to stay there. However the room was a bit small and unfortunately the beds were close enough that the children could easily kick each other instead of going to sleep - we could have done without that stress! This hotel is joined to a Beefeater pub where breakfast is served. The food was of good quality but Instead of a full self service system, as happens at Premier Inns that provide the breakfast themselves, orders for hot food were taken at your table. There simply weren't enough staff on duty on any of the three mornings that we were there to make this work. The two or three waitresses were friendly and trying there best but they simply couldn't keep up with seating people, taking and delivering hot orders, restocking the drinks and cold items and preparing more fruit salad etc in the kitchen. At times many of the main items such as coffee, milk and bread ran out and customers faced a long wait for more. Also the wait for hot breakfasts were very long and they often arrived at totally different times for people at the same table. I appreciate that it was a Bank Holiday so very busy but surely this can't have been a surprise to them? The Beefeater Manager was apologetic (when we approached him) and said he found it difficult to get staff. However just the addition of a hot drinks machine instead of flasks would be an improvement. Maybe we were just unlucky as other reviewers don't seem to have had a issue but our advice would be to allow plenty of time for breakfast!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn London Victoria Hotel; City: London England; Review: This is in a good location, easy to walk to from Victoria train or coach station. The staff were, without exception, very friendly, helpful and professional. This is so often not the case, even in much more expensive hotels! The bar area was pleasant and the breakfast was freshly cooked and kept well stocked. My room was larger than average and of the good standard you expect with a Premier Inn. A definite recommendation!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Adria; City: Dubrovnik Dubrovnik Neretva County Dalmatia; Review: We stayed here with our two teenage children for four nights recently. We had large rooms with balconies overlooking the harbour from where you could see the stunning sunsets. The only slight mar on this were the two or three old concrete apartment blocks nearby but the rest of the view is beautiful and worth paying a bit extra for. The rooms were very clean and well maintained and the beds were extremely comfortable. We would recommend the rooms - they were numbers 104 and 105 - except that being directly under the bar balcony meant we were woken at 7am each morning by lots of furniture being dragged, presumably for cleaning :-(. Both pools are quite small but lovely none the less and we also made use of the jacuzzi and little gym. The (large!) bar snacks and breakfasts were good and we also had dinner there one night which was a buffet and that was good too. Our only critism was that they were very understaffed at breakfast so every morning it was hard to find a clean table and cutlery and things kept running out. One morning we had to wait for 10 minutes for cups for hot drinks! The staff were friendly and helpful though and as other guests have said the bus service from outside the hotel was convenient, cheap and efficient (but you do need to be careful on the busy and sometimes dark road). You can buy tickets in reception. Car parking is free and access to the garage is easyWe would definitely recommend this hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton by Hilton London Waterloo; City: London England; Review: This hotel is a fantastic location only 5 minutes walk from Waterloo station but still peaceful once inside. The staff on the reception desk were very friendly, efficient and helpful, making us feel welcome. Our room was very clean and spacious enough plus the bed was really comfortable and the view was great. The bar was still open with a good selection of drinks and a few basic snacks when we retuned from a night out at midnight. Breakfast was fine but a little restricted compared to other similar hotels - there was only one type of juice (I think), no other eggs apart from scrambled ones (which were nicely cooked but very bland), no mushrooms, the tomatoes were tinned ones, no decaffeinated coffee and the only prepared fruit was grapefruit and orange segments. Saying that everything was kept well stocked and there was the exciting inclusion of a make-your-own waffle machine! We booked through Trivago.com which gave us a really good deal and far cheaper than anything else we could find of the same quality at short notice so we were very happy and would definitely book again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Our only complaint was the noise from other visitors returning in the middle of the night and a large group excitedly knocking on each other's doors at 7.20am on a Sunday but that can't really be blamed on the hotel!! The price was very good value and we will definitely return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Epsom Central Hotel; City: Epsom Surrey England; Review: This Premier Inn has efficient & friendly staff, as they almost all seem to. It is older than most and there's no lift which is very unusual so if you struggle with stairs you need to call the number of their website to book a downstairs room with reception. The pub/restaurant where breakfast is served is not attached but it's just across a short path. Cooked breakfast has to be ordered and unfortunately our bacon and eggs were very over cooked so had probably been kept warm rather than cooked freshly but other than that the whole experience was up to the usual Premier standard and a good price.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Once our table was ready there was no apology and it became clear that our waitress was knew as she kept getting instructions from other staff.

The owner was very welcoming, friendly and helpful throughout our stay, as were all but one of the other members of the team. The breakfasts were delicious and the whole stay was excellent value for money. We would definitely stay again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Flamestone American Grill; City: Oldsmar, FL; Review: Previous to Thanksgiving 2012 I would have rated Flamestone Grill four stars. That being said. Our Thanksgiving Dinner was Awful. The Turkey which I did cook the full 45 minutes was still not done. The potatoes were dry, the dressing over salted. It broke my heart. Should have gone to Cracker Barrel. . The food at least would have been cooked. We travel to Oldsmar to treat my Bother who is brain injured to a nice time out. I came into this one Believing it would be a fabulous. So AWFUL! The pies were the only acceptable items. Total let down. Pray everyone else who ordered had a better dinner. Praying no one gets sick. We even ended up microwaving the turkey just to be able to eat before to late. Threw the rest in garbage. Hope it was just a bad day. Or we were the terrible exception. Total waste of $168.00. The Dinner was $158.00, I believing it to be Honorable and Good gave a $10.00 tip.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Flamestone American Grill; City: Oldsmar, FL; Review: So I wrote a review concerning a "let down" over our Thanksgiving Dinner. I rated Flamestone Grill with one star. That particular meal deserved it. That being said the Management of Flamestone Grill went far beyond what my expectations of "making it right" they called, I was told how one oven went down. And they sent me a Gift Card for the restaurant and credited my card. I was sincerely humbled and pleased. As I stated in my review previously to Thanksgiving 2012 I would have rated them 4 Stars. With the integrity they showed in this error I am even more Impressed. I will be a returning Customer. Thank You! I was also offered a discount for next years Thanksgiving!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Leave Me Breathless (Ross Siblings Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Cherrie Lynn Page; Review: I don't know what it is, but this author can write passionate, desperate sex like there is no tomorrow. This book had me hooked as soon as Ghost walked into the bar they were in, in Chapter 1. Things from that point, certainly got interesting, to say the least. I couldn't put this book down even when I had other things I had to be doing... I was lazy reading all day! This series is definitely one I would recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: An Executive Decision (An Executive Decision Trilogy Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's KD Grace Page; Review: Wow! I almost DNF (did not finish) this book, but I sucked it up anyway & kept going. However, it took me waaayyyy longer to finish it than it normally does it finish a book. The only thing that got me through was I wanted to see what that disgruntled secretary was going to do next & how she was going to figure out what the ESC was. I realize that I am in the minority about my rating & feelings about this book, but it just didn't keep my interest. The almost anxious feeling that I get to finish a book because I just have to know what happens next, just didn't come to me... I wanted it to & I really wanted to like this book, but I just couldn't. This doesn't mean that others won't absolutely enjoy this novel... Obviously, with the high ratings this book has received, that seems to be the case with most readers. I hate ratings less than 4 stars, but I just couldn't figure out how to get it there.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Ascension (The Dominion Series Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's S. E. Lund Page; Review: Ascension had so many different elements to it, it's hard to pinpoint my feelings, exactly. I know I loved it better than Dominion. We get to spend quite a bit of time with Julien... I won't say that we "get to know" him, exactly, but we do get a glimpse of how different he is from Michel & how much his relationship with Eve differs from Michel's relationship with her, as well. There are highly emotional times in book 2, as with book 1... Maybe even more so & some twists that make you go "hmm..." Book 2 is the same as book 1, in the sense that, as more mysteries are revealed, more questions arise & it makes you begging for more. Then, there's the end of the book.... Wow... Just wow! I loved it! This series is not for everyone, but I am so glad that I decided to read it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: See You in My Dreams (Speed Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jess Dee Page; Review: 3.5 stars I really liked this story & the characters, but it was kind of unbelievable. World-wide famous, gorgeous rock star meets ordinary, but beautiful cleaning lady. Then the shared dreams that they have as a prophesy from both of their grandmothers...? Nathan & Sophie were great, the sex was hot, but I found that I was skipping parts of the story to get to the end. There just seemed to be a lot of non-essential information. I still enjoyed the story though & felt the need to find out what would happen next in the story.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Old Souls - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's P.A. Lupton Page; Review: The author of this book is a friend of mine on Goodreads & while I might be slightly (wink, wink) biased because of my relationship with her, I do believe in giving an honest review regardless. I knew nothing about the contents of this book before I read it except for the book's description, so everything about it was practically a mystery to me. Having said that, I don't want to give too much of the book away in my review to all of the potential readers out there. However, I will say - Old Souls is a thrilling, nail biting, steamy paranormal romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat for pretty much the entire length of the story. P.A. Luton knows how to reel you into her world by creating mystery in her plot to keep you obsessed with turning pages to find out what will happen next. The H&h's characters are well developed & their romance is HOT - not to mention the amount of passion & love you can feel with P.A.'s words that make you feel their emotions right along with them. This book is definitely one that I would recommend to any adult that loves paranormal romance, with hot sex & a suspenseful plot.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fueled (The Driven Series Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's K. Bromberg Page; Review: I actually was warring with myself on whether or not I could rate this book 4 or 5 stars. I usually rate books 4 stars that keep my interest & desperate to turn the pages, but has a few things that just didn't sit right with me. There were a couple of things that just didn't sit right with me. One, being I felt that the back & forth between Rylee & Colton towards the end, was waaaaay overdone. It got annoying after a while & I started to skip over parts of it. It also reminded me how how much I disliked Rylee in the beginning of Driven & I just wanted to slap her senseless. Then, there was the HORRIBLE cliffhanger, at the end. We already dealt with a cliffhanger in book 1, the one on book 2 just pissed me off - overkill, IMO. I would have bought book 3 anyway without it. HOWEVER, my 5 star rating stems from the fact that this book, as a whole was AWESOME! I was captivated in the very first chapter & Fueled was so beautifully written, that 4 stars just didn't do it justice. I have actually lost sleep over reading this book. I stayed up until 4am yesterday morning reading it & now it's almost 3am when I've finished it. There was no WAY I was going to be able to sleep until I was done. Bromberg's talent for writing heart wrenching emotion & all consuming passion between two characters was just absolutely mind blowing in Fueled. I was completely floored & this series has totally made my recommendations list because of it. I know we have a few months left until book 3 comes out & I'm sure I'll be biting my nails in anticipation until then - I can't wait!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Kindle_Store |

Title: Ultimate Ears SuperFi 5 Extended Bass Noise Isolating Earphones (Black) (Discontinued by Manufacturer); Brand: Ultimate Ears; Review: I rarely do a review of any product, but this is the exception to this rule. The UE Super. Fi EB is amazing. Everytime I listen to songs that I had heard using the standard headsets is like listening to the song for the first time. I can hear so many nuances throughout the spectrum, from clear highs to undistorted lows. Plus the in-ear style of these headsets is so comfortable either for the gym--they never slide out, unlike the Sony in-hear headsets I used that came with my W810i--and they block out ambient noise. Previous reviewers noted that the volume is greater in these, and I also love this aspect of the headsets. The construction of the headsets is also very rugged, and I appreciate that the wires on these are made of durable material and don't get tangled like other headsets' wires. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Endust for Electronics, CD/DVD Lens Cleaner, Blu Ray, Great for Desktop Computers and Players (262000); Brand: Endust for Electronics; Review: The MacBook Pro mid-2009 DVD player wasn't reading any CDs or DVDs.

Title: ClearStream Eclipse Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna with Sure Grip Technology - 50 Mile Range; Brand: Antennas Direct; Review: I bought the ClearStream Eclipse to see if it would improve over the Leaf Metro Indoor antenna. I was hoping to be able to see the "local" NBC station because this was the only network channel that I wasn't able to get in Berkeley, CA. The NBC station broadcasts come in from a mountain in San Jose. I was disappointed because even with the amplifier, I wasn't able to get the NBC channel (KNTV, channel 11). But doubly disappointed because the Eclipse also didn't pick up the ABC channel that the unamplified Metro Leaf was able to pull. I would return the ClearStream, but i am content to use it on another TV that is hooked up to wifi (and Netflix, Amazon, etc.).; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Quality Inn Flagstaff East Lucky Lane; City: Flagstaff Arizona; Review: Room was small and smelled awful! The carpet was nasty....didn't even take our shoes off in the room. The water was off when we checked in but was supposed to be back on in one hour. In the morning we still had no water so couldn't shower or brush teeth. Have no idea what type of breakfast they served as we checked out at 4:41 in morning! Granted the place was under renovation, but we spent the night before in a Quality Inn in Ft. Smith that was also under renovation that was clean and nice!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Stagecoach Inn Suites; City: Dubois Wyoming; Review: Booked over phone....when we checked in I told him I had a dog.....all the dog rooms were taken but he took a chance on us anyway! Room was clean and neat, smelled good and it was warm! The town was quaint but most places were closed on Sunday so we didn't get to see much of it. The gentleman at the desk was friendly and efficient. It was a nice place to stay and we would stay there again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn; City: Tucumcari New Mexico; Review: This was our third Quality Inn of the trip.....quite comfortable. The "dog room" was clean and neat. The staff was really nice and helpful. The grounds were nice and well tended. There was a restaurant on site and was nice. The breakfast was good with some added local flavor(green and red chilies!). The chef was there to explain it all to us. Overall this hotel was a nice place to stop for the night.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn; City: Fort Smith Arkansas; Review: Even in the middle of renovations the hotel was well run with no confusion. The room was clean and comfortable. The employees were quite helpful and friendly. We travel with our dog and the "dog rooms" are not musty smelling. Breakfast was good......we will use this chain often!! Thanks for a comfortable stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kansas Country Inn; City: Oakley Kansas; Review: Picked because of being pet friendly. Really nice folks running the place. Had to take a smoking room because all pet rooms were taken, she let me see if it smelled too bad for us(non-smoker) to stay in. We stayed and it was ok. Had a good nights rest.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Chateau Rouge; City: Red Lodge Montana; Review: We were pleasantly surprised with the studio unit(especially the full sized coffee pot!!).

Title: Greybull Motel; City: Greybull Wyoming; Review: Didn't have a reservation......got her last pet room....yea! Room was small, neat and extremely comfy!!! The grounds are gorgeous......flowers everywhere and a nice front lawn under a huge tree. Owners are super nice and provided a small breakfast with plenty of good coffee! The only con I could say is lack of space to walk pets.....just an alley behind motel.....lucky dog will go just about anywhere!!!!

Title: Quality Inn Suites; City: Craig Colorado; Review: Room was clean and comfy. Front desk very helpful and accommodating as we had a dog and they weren't informed of it nor were they informed we needed a ground floor room( I blame that on the central booking for Choice). The dog was accepted but we couldn't get the ground floor.....oh well. The restaurant on site was wonderful as was the free breakfast(best I've had) in the mornings at any place we have stayed. I highly recommend this hotel heartily.....just make sure when you call to book that your requirements are clear to those helping you....or find the number of the hotel and do it yourself! Again I stress this isn't the fault of the hotel, but Choice central booking!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Motel 6 Longview; City: Longview Texas; Review: The young lady that checked us in was courteous and checked us in even though they had no key cards(there was another man waiting for his card). The manager had gone out to get more.......didn't even apologize for the inconvenience( the young lady did ). The room was bare bones but clean(husband only killed two spiders). Non-smoking room.....had cigarette burn holes in bedspread and blanket......towel I used had ink stains on it. All in all it was a clean $45.00 room....you get what you pay for.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Savannah Lodge; City: Savannah Tennessee; Review: Motel is shabby(just been bought) but not impressed at all. They are remodeling rooms though. The beds were comfy and sheets clean, but towels were stained and some threadbare. I had to clean the top of ice bucket before getting ice. The grab bar in shower was loose and just stuck in holes. Room was on the front so felt safe enough but ice machine was on the back of building and I wouldn't go back there at night!! Maybe once they finish the remodel , it will be better but we won't be back.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Acworth Inn; City: Acworth Georgia; Review: Was getting late, had 2 rooms available. Front desk man was wonderful.......neat, professional and very helpful!!!

The only downside is having to go past hotel and turn around to come back to entrance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: PetSmart; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: I would have liked to have given this location more stars as I have been a regular customer since my purchase of 2 puppies in February purchasing all my pet need for my two Goldens. Most visits have been pleasant and my needs were met, in fact I can remember one incident where the manager on duty went out of her way to help. On my last visit I left rather frustrated and angry as the cashier told me they updated their system thus my phone number no longer worked for their discount, she said I could sign up all over again. First of all, I do not care to reveal personal information so my purchases can be tracked and feel that all customers should receive the same advertised discounts. Retailers seem to be losing sight that when conditions are required for discounts the customer has the right to shop elsewhere, especially when those conditions have been previously met and due to their change we, the customer has to spend time resubmitting that info. Well, my pups are about a year old and I will be changing their food from puppy chow to an adult dog food which I guess I can purchase for much less at a retailer of choice without have to re-enroll in their tracking system. I actually went online to submit an email to their store manager but no email contact information is available on their store website.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

The bread was outstanding, the wine list amusing and the place had quaint type of atmosphere. We shall return!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: El Cisne Restaurant; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: This is my 3rd or 4th time at this restaurant and it seems they have improved each time. This last visit will be hard to beat and maybe even equal. The ambiance was superb with the lighting, live music and a personal touch by having the owner come up and insure all was well and get our opinion of our visit. We started things off with some appetizers ordering the Ceviche (excellent) and the Shrimp Cocktail, again very good with excellent presentation and the cocktail sauce just right with a little spicy kick to it along with a lot of flavor. These two appetizers could have easily been our meal but we added the chicken tacos and a bowl of Albondigas soup, we are so glad we did. The Albondigas were great, the broth and meat were full of flavor, the best way to describe would be in Spanish: sabroso! The chicken tacos we're good with great presentation. Then came the totally unexpected yet extremely appreciated surprise, the owner asked us to try their Torta de Leche and we are SOOOO glad we did. It was EXCELLENT!!! The best I have had and I have tried this many many times in all types of establishments: bakeries, restaurants caterers and deli's. You can bet we will be back for some fine dining, to enjoy the relaxing and mood setting music along with a nice conversation with Phil, the owner. Five stars is the only rating we could give El Cisne on this evening. Bravo!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tucson Professional Landscaping; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: These guys did a great job transforming my backyard from nothing to quite a nice place. They installed the artificial grass I purchased from Costco in a very professional, neat timely manner. They went above expectations in also installing the pavers separating the gravel from the grass and insuring the little crevices created by the retaining wall were all well covered.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Santa Cruz River Walk Path; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Great path for biking, hiking or walking the dogs. I frequently walk my two Goldens between Cortaro and Ina Road but this morning (Sunday 8/17). We went bike riding from Twin Peaks Road to Congress, approx. 30+ miles round trip. Water, restrooms and rest areas along the way - great ride! Paved, clean and clear.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Audi Tucson; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Every time I visit these guys I have a very good experience, they deliver with a smile. This last visit was for regular maintenance, Jill, my Service Advisor was very prepared and organized upon my arrival. She let me know they just got backed up and were running a little late so instead of my planned wait for my car, she set up a loaner car for me to use. This worked out great and I was able to get the things done I had planned for the day with no delay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ginza Sushi; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: I've heard quite a few praises for Ginza from a friend so finally decided to give Ginza a try. Quite the drive from my NW home but I was already on the east side so off we go. Entering I was impressed by the ambiance and decor though some music would have been a welcome touch. The staff was friendly and we were immediately seated at the sushi bar, looked over the menu and surroundings and rather pleased with their selection of food and drink. Now for ordering, we started off with some Miso soup which was very good with plenty of Tofu and good flavor. We then shared the Mango, Ceviche and Rainbow rolls along with Halibut and salmon iniri, all were fresh, tasty, delicious, fresh, did I say tasty?, crunchy, yummy and very palate pleasing thus the favorable rating. We WILL be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Catalina Cleaners; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Had a suit cleaned that was in real need of a cleaning, they did a great job and I could have picked it up the same day without a added charge. I was expecting/hoping for next day service and got it!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hair & Skin Studio; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Had a facial today from Rochelle, their new Skin Benefits technician who does Facials, Peels, Waxing and Anti-aging Treatments. This is the third such facial I've had thus have something to compare to. Normally my skin starts to get dry, tight and feels dirty no matter how much I wash it. Her facial left my facial and neck skin feeling very soft, healthy, clean and looking great. Wrinkles that were once visible were gone and the skin felt pliable, hydrated and young. Rochelle is really great at what she does with a great touch and expertise, never had better. I highly recommend this skin specialist, in addition while applying the masques she gives you a facial, neck and hand massage which is extremely relaxing. Great job and thank you Rochelle! I'll be baaack!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Home Depot; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Sorry but the service and knowledge of the people I spoke with in Electrical was pitiful. They could not direct me nor find a hanging bracket for a ceiling fan and their light globe replacements were out of stock or nonexistent. Fortunately the lady in Paint was able to do her job well and fill my order thus the three star rating, otherwise they would have failed miserably. I am Thankful that a couple of other Home Depot's on the NW side of town are in better shape than this one.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Republic Services of Tucson, AZ; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Well, where to begin with the dissatisfaction with this company. They say money talks so let's start there: 1. Billing - they bill quarterly, send out a bill two weeks prior to late fee. Quick to collect or charge late fee and interruption of service fee (double penalty fee) 2. Service - if you want to complain by phone, they don't answer as evident in a 20 minute wait on the phone this Saturday morn. Pick up service, put both containers out Sunday night for Monday morning pickup, Monday and Thursday pickups were completed across the street from my residence but not on our side of the street. Today is Saturday, no weekly pickup yet. 3. Reviews - read all of the reviews on Yelp, one positive (not a current customer), over 30 1 star or less reviews. Their reply "not representative of who we are, etc.". What is representative, their opinion of themselves? Apparently not their customers ! Pretty sad state.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: El Cisne Restaurant; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: We have been here several times and tonight was another improvement in a line of several. Our last visit was excellent and tonight's was superb. Service was prompt and attentive, ambiance was top of the line with the live music making the evening special. Classic Spanish boleros played and sung well just added to the experience. Relaxing and romantic! Now for the food, we ordered three appetizers which my lovely and I shared as our dinner. The Chorizo stuffed mushrooms were spicy, tasty and plentiful, the Ceviche was to die for (it has always been my favorite). Now for a new favorite which was an unexpected treat, the Topopo Salad with Shredded Chicken, full of flavors, chicken was moist, flavorful with beans from the bottom adding to the mix, mucho savor! Even the perfectly chilled Modelo Negra added to the already special evening that was created by the unexpected gastronomical pleasures served up this evening. We can't wait to come back next Tuesday and bring some friends to recreate this special evening.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Teresa's Mosaic Cafe; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Had a late lunch on Saturday and realize they just were not up to their standards for whatever reason. We were rather disappointed in the service and the food. There was three of us and we ordered 2 bowls of menudo which were served lukewarm and they forgot the bread. The chili relleno which was tasty but served cold. It was sent back to get heated. We had great food and service in the past but won't be as excited about going back. Sorry to see a very good restaurant become mediocre at best.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: George Scaff Tree Service; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Contacted George by phone after seeing his ad and reading the reviews on Yelp. I'm glad I did, he was courteous, interested and did what he said he would. Set a time to meet to see what needed to be done, was prompt and on time, gave me his thoughts on what needed to be done with my two mesquite trees and a reasonable estimate to trim both trees. George came out with a helper when he said he would, again prompt and timely proceeded to do a great job with the tree trimming and recommendations to have it develop healthier, fuller and better than how it was growing. Did an exceptional job including the clean up after the job, even took a couple of large empty boxes to the dump for me. Great job George, he will get my repeat business and my neighbors too!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Smashburger; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: What can I say, normally I like to give positive reviews especially when the food is good but when I don't get what I pay for it is hard to be positive. Stopped in for dinner on the way home, ordered a Bacon Avocado Chicken Club and a Vanilla Milkshake along with a glass of water. paid for the meal sat and waited, clerk brought over the sandwich in reasonable time but I had to remind her that I also ordered a milkshake. She said she would have it out, so I waited a bit then started in on the sandwich before it got cold. Took my time and enjoyed the sandwich, I usually order this each time I stop here or at the Smashburger in Oro Valley, tastiest on the market but this one was just okay, not quite as tasty and full of flavor as prior. Still waiting for the milkshake, ate the whole sandwich and drank my glass of water, still waiting for the milkshake (did I mention I already paid for it). Well, milkshake never came, clerk was rather distracted with everything else but the milkshake she said would have out in a jiffy.....define jiffy! Never got it. Got up and left, no reason to fuss or complain, just won't be back. Unfortunately I punish myself for their incompetence as I will miss their tasty Bacon Avocado Chicken Club sandwich and their Vanilla Shakes. What saddens me is that as a customer who would rather just leave than complain I'm running out of places to do business with. The workforce we now deal with just doesn't seem to get it done right, it seems people in general no longer take pride in their work and when they forget something they just overlook it as no big deal and what penalty do they really pay....none....a bad review - big deal. Maybe next this happens I'll make a fuss and complain but then they just blame the customer on being hard to please, Catch 22.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: DD's Baja Seafood & Grill; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Decided to give this place a try after hearing their fish tacos were good. We just moved into the area and have driven by many times but stopped in for dinner. Oh so glad we stopped! Fish tacos are not good their grrrrreat! Fish ceviche tostada also deserved mention but could use a little more heat. The simplest things in life such as rice and beans "muy bueno". Now for their special Frozen Mango Margaritas also very good. You may be wondering why Five Stars, well, the service, the layout and just the great way you felt in the place even the other customer's comments about their food were very positive. By the way, here's a picture to feast your eyes on....yummmm!!!! We will be back!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Temperature Control; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: I have used Tony Bohard and his company for my AC needs and have highly recommended him to family and friends. He just keeps delivering optimum service and made each and every person happy they did business with him.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casa Del Rio; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Pauline and Mary catered our wedding and what a great job they did. The food was excellent: chicken and beef fajitas, moist, tender and tasty along with their chicken enchilada casserole....mmmmm yum! They were timely and actually adjusted their schedule last minute due to our request. Thy did a great job keeping the food fresh and hot and served about fifty people efficiently and fit right in with our families. Perfection, couldn't have asked for better food or service, thank you ladies!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: LaCo; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: My wife and I had dinner here with some friends, we were met at the entrance by the owner and we proceeded to have a fun time with her while she walked us to our table. She made sure we were taken care of, the service was great, the margaritas were cold, on the rocks and delicious. The food was very good, I had the smothered pork burrito and it was excellent, both the red and green sauces were unique and full of flavor. My wife had the chili releno and thoroughly enjoyed it, again very tasty,flavorful and good size portions yet finished every bite, that rarely happens unless the food is really good. The lighting, the ambiance and the live music was a nice touch. We will be back - frequently!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: First Impression Ironworks; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: We just love our new door, the whole process from sales to installation was charmed. First Impressions provided First Class installation, service and price. We had priced a similar door but not close to this heavy duty and quality of door, it would have cost an additional $600 and 3-4 month install date instead of 3 weeks. Eric their salesman did an excellent job in explaining and advising but Richard their independent contract installer did an outstanding job installing and explaining the care for continued happiness for this beautiful door. The investment company that has taken over seems very focused on product quality and customer service, never a bad thing. Five stars for these guys in every aspect or step of the process! I will highly recommend these guys and will be using them in the near future for an entrance gate. Can't wait to complete the new project!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seis Kitchen; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: I've eaten here on several occasions, all of which were very good, yet to have a unsatisfactory meal. I will say, the last two takeout meal here have been fantastic. Their Calabasitas burrito was on a taste level of it's own, tasty, delicious and healthy as Mexican breakfasts go. All of the veggies in the burrito cooked just right, not too cheesy nor greasy at all, Cinco Estrellas! Well, a week or so goes by and I go back for more. To my delight, their Puerco Verde Chilaquilas Tradicional were to die for, madre santa que sabrosas!!!!! Not too cheesy nor much red sauce, the eggs just right and the puerco tender and full of flavor. Their frijoles were also surprisingly good and as Mexican food restaurants go, they are measured on their rice and beans. I've been eyeing their fish dinners so now, will make it a point to give those a shot. Can't wait!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sonoran Delights; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: It is a nice place for a Sonoran dog and a quesadilla, both pretty tasty. I was a bit surprised when I asked to replace the ketchup with pico de gallo or salsa and they refused but I will say, the ketchup with diced onions gave it a unique taste. One other surprise as I like the fruit cup with melon, watermelon, mango, cucumber, etc. is that they do not put mango in theirs so didn't bother giving that a go. No mango no go! It fit the bill for a spontaneous quick bite to eat and very easy on the budget.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Affordable Window Tinting; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: These guys did a great job on my front door windows of my Audi Q5, perfect cut along the edge of the glass and no bubbles with a perfectly clear view to the sides. Timing and efficient. Thanks guys!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: El Chinito Gordo; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Enjoyed lunch here today(Saturday 11:45am). Driving by and decided to stop in, been hearing good things about this newly remodeled site. My wife had the Street Tacos Al Pastor and a side of beans while I had a small bowl of White Menudo. I also surprised her with a Bloody Mary, after her first taste she exclaimed "Oh my, that is the best Bloody Mary I have ever had"! Of course I had to have a taste and yes, it was very doctored up with Tajin, salt, lime, olives and very tasty! Meanwhile, the chips and salsa brought to the table were excellent. The tacos Al Pastor were very good along with the beans. Now the menudo, keep in mind I am very particular about menudo the broth must be clear and clean, not greasy and the hominy firm and crunchy. Well, it was an A- but the bread was to die for. Now, the reason for the 5 star rating. The restaurant was simple, clean and very well done, fairly new and the staff very attentive, the young waitress just could not do enough and was on her top game making sure everything was to our liking and it was, very much so. Upon our departure we were thanked by all in the room and left us with a warm friendly feeling, thank you for a really nice lunch and experience.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Westside Liquor; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Been coming into this establishment for over 10 yrs, never bothered to write a review, just never thought to. Well, came in on New Year's Eve for a bottle of champagne, ended up leaving with that, at a lower price than I planned to spend as JJ recommended the Chandon Brut instead of the higher priced item I intended to buy. Instead of upselling he recommended a better value to me, thank you Sir! I also noticed he has really improved his wine selection and now includes some medium priced wines from Paso Robles. His liquor and beer selection has always been great but now his wine too is worth stopping in for. We will see him much more often!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Teresa's Mosaic Cafe; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Enjoyed a delicious Sunday morning breakfast, nice to eat out with good service and hot delicious food and homemade tortillas. The #6 and 7 plates were great, their green corn tamale, enchilada, beans and scrambled eggs go well together especially when scooped in their freshly made tortillas - que sabor!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: El Cisne Restaurant; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: COVID dining, stopped in for a late dinner on Tuesday night arriving about 8 pm. There were people at the bar and a couple dining, slow weeknight I'm sure. Keep in mind we have been here before and each we have we've enjoyed it. Well, getting back to Tuesday night, Judy had the Carne Asada tacos, her staple and I ordered the Sea Bass but to start things off we had their Chili Guerritos wrapped in bacon and stuffed with shrimp which Claudia (waitress) suggested for an appetizer. You get them all over town wrapped in bacon and sometimes stuffed with cheese but not like this. These were DEEELICIOUS and huge, about 5-6", just can say enough about them sooooooo good! Then came the Sea Bass which I've had before a long time ago. This dish was amazingly good, if you like fish and you want quality.....I know exactly where you need to come....WOW! Service from Claudia was great, very personable and knew what to suggest and recommend. This may well be the best meal and time here except we miss the guitarist who occasionally plays and adds so much ambiance to the place. Phil, your staff here only gets better along with the food....and that is saying a lot because you've been great in the past. Que comida tan sabrosa!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pockets; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: I am pretty much a regular here and think they have a VERY good selection of food along with quality. Of course their drinks are great and their beer selection is excellent but they have one particular sandwich and fries that is to die for. I would highly recommend it and label it "the best sandwich in town"! Find your way over to Pockets for some pool, cold drinks or just for the food, order their Chicken BLT with green chili's: sour dough bread, buttered filled with tasty flavorful chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato and of course green chili which I love. Oh, did I say bacon! Get their beer battered fries and once you are done, a better meal is not to be found. Enjoy!!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pockets; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Fun place, good drinks, great staff, great food! I'm a regular customer here as You might say I'm a serious pool player but more and more Pockets has really upped their game in the food department. The addition of Kasey, a trained chef with very good taste has brought an element of excellence to their menu and food presentation. The big bonus for Pockets is that their staff complements these additions perfectly making it a very fun, pleasant and tasty experience. My favorite dishes are the Chicken BLT sandwich with the addition of green chili's, their Cobb Salad w/chicken (by the way, the chicken is tasty n full of flavor) and their Nachos with steak are to die for. Do yourself a favor and don't take my word, get ur butt over to Pockets and just try any of those 3 items (or anything else in the menu). Have a nice cold Dos Equis Ambar with it and enjoy! Que Sabor!!!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pro Detail & Tint; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Called in for an appointment to have my Audi Q5 detailed, we set an appointment for Monday and dropped it off for a wash and wax. I've had them do great work before for both of our SUVs but this time seems a touch better. As I did my walk around the wax job left the finish really smooth, the paint looked deeper, the windows were spotless. Overall the outside looked perfect, nicer and better than the day we drove it off the Audi lot. When I got inside the vehicle I was truly amazed at how well it was cleaned up with the leather seats, dash and console looking better than brand new. I'm a happy customer and will take our Jeep Grand Cherokee in soon. Quite the deal to have your car look better than the day you drove it home brand new!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Safeway; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: This store is more of a convenience store than a Safeway, their assortment, shelf capacities on certain items and their out of stock conditions are all a bit on the unacceptable side. One of my biggest complaint here is the fact that hand baskets are not provided for the west door entrance and even the ones placed by their office are very limited and most of the time unavailable. On the bright side, I will say most of the clerks and cashiers are friendly and helpful. Guess I just need to go to the Albertsons on Speedway/Silverbell, larger store, increased assortment, same products.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Opas Grill; City: Tucson, AZ; Review: Our last time here was rather disappointing but keep in mind it may have been a couple of years. There is new mgmt. Quite the opposite impression this time around, we stopped in for lunch spur of the moment, ordered the Greek Salad and Pita Chicken Souvlaki and were in for a treat. First to the table was a pita bread, hummus, cucumber and tiki sauce plate. In itself is quite the appetizer and delicious. Then came our order, my wife's Greek Salad looked great but the Chicken Souvlaki was excellent, plenty of chicken, moist tender and very tasty. The chicken went far as there was plenty to put on my wife's salad plate and we both had more than enough. We then ordered the baklava as I'm always in search of "good" baklava - it is hard to find. Well, not here, it was good, not exceptional but good. All in all the service was very good, the surroundings were pleasant, tasteful and very clean. They earned their five star review, we'll be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Going Rogue: An American Life; Author: Visit Amazon's Sarah Palin Page; Review: The more I read the more I feel she talks for me and all conservatives. Her voice and opinions ring truth more then any other person I have heard. I hope she will be our first woman president in 2014. If Margaret Thatcher could rule her country with great success I believe that Sarah Palin is equally able to do the same.

Title: The Original Rubber Duck Toy for the Bath; Brand: Rich Frog; Review: We purchased this duck as an alternative to the plastic bath toys that are out on the market right now. At the time, my son was 8 months old and the duck is so small that it looked like the entire thing would fit in his mouth. We quickly returned this item! It would probably be good for older children who are no longer putting things in their mouths.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Step2 787800 Naturally Playful Sand & Water Center; Brand: Step2; Review: We purchased this sand/water table for our son's first birthday. It's the perfect height for him (he's 33 inches tall) and he loves playing in it. However, we live at the beach and don't really need one side for sand, so we use both sides for water, and wish that both sides of the table had a plug in the bottom. Currently, the table only has a plug on the "water" side, which is the side with the bridges/raised areas. Personally, I feel like the other side should be meant for water, as a child can't do much splashing, boat floating, etc in such a small space on the designated "water" side due to the bridges. We haven't used the umbrella yet since currently we use the table on our screened in porch, but it appears that it would need to be put away after each use as it's not very sturdy. I would compare the material of the umbrella to a VERY cheap rain umbrella. But if you're just planning on putting it out and taking it back in after each use then I assume it would do the trick. The table is sturdy and made of nice thick plastic. I would recommend this table, I just wish I would have known there was only a plug/drain on one side of the divided table.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: MerryMakers Nightsong Plush Doll, 11-Inch; Brand: MerryMakers; Review: Our son has been sleeping with this for the past year. His "froggy" has traveled with us all over, and he enjoys touching the silky side as well as the fluffy side as he falls asleep. It's great that the "lovey" has a face, but is also more of a blanket as well. A perfect choice for a baby shower gift for either gender. The froggy washes up great in the washing machine which is a must for a toddler!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Little Tikes Cozy Pumper; Brand: Little Tikes; Review: We ordered this for our son to use with his Cozy Coupe Car. After he started using the bike pump as a gas pump, we figured we should buy him an actual toy gas pump. I was excited that this toy made noises, like the sound of gas pumping. I wish however, that the credit card buttons made noises when pressed, or that it came with a play plastic credit card to slide through the credit card swiper. Also, the actual handle of the pump doesn't stay put that well in it's holding place unless its jammed in there, at which point my son needs help to get it out. It is also very light and gets knocked over easily, like if my son pulls on the handle a little. He sometimes even drags the pump around by the handle, which is funny to watch yet it has scraped up the pump quite a bit. It's a fun toy for those that have vehicles that they want to "fill up" but it could use some upgrades/changes.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Today Is Children's Calendar Wall Chart by Alma's Design - Red; Brand: Alma's Designs; Review: I am a former teacher turned stay-at-home mom. We use this in our "home classroom" for my 4 yr old, 2 yr old, and 1 yr old. I love all the interchangeable options for the weather, dates, seasons, months, etc. But the velcro is not strong enough. I'll often find a season or a number lying on the floor under the calendar because it fell off. If they increased the velcro strength, I'd give it 5 stars!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Extra Large Learning Carpets Ride The Train LC 142; Brand: Learning Carpets; Review: Good luck driving Hot Wheels cars on this rug, as the rug snags easily and will attach itself to any scratchy surface (like the wheels of the hot wheels that may have been driven outside on the concrete a few times). The rug also has a rubber backing which is supposed to help it stay in place, which would be great for hard surfaces, but it doesn't work well on top of carpet. My son gets so angry when the rug moves or gets bunched up just from driving his cars on it (while the rug is placed on top of the carpet in our playroom). It's cute and will get the job done, but I wish we would have splurged for a more expensive/better made one.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Green Toys Ferry Boat Toy, Blue/White; Brand: Green Toys; Review: We love this set. The cars are bigger than the normal toy cars that usually come with sets like this, which is nice. Green Toys always has quality products, so I guess it's hard to go wrong with them. The cards drive up and down the boat ramp nicely and easily, but we haven't attempted to float the boat in the water yet.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: LeapFrog Shapes and Sharing Picnic Basket (Frustration Free Packaging); Brand: LeapFrog; Review: This picnic basket is super cute and sings songs, but I can't figure out why the forks are so BIG?! They are huge compared to the food, and the food doesn't even stay put on them. Also, the cups have holes in the bottom of them, so if you wanted to (heaven forbid) put some water in the cup and make your child feel like they were having a semi-real picnic, you can't. Other than that, we like the set.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Nickelodeon Paw Patrol Pop Up Game; Brand: Nickelodeon; Review: Purchased this game for a 6 year old and 4 year old to play together. The concept is easy for them to understand- it is basically the game "Trouble" but in a Paw Patrol theme, but the construction of the board itself is beyond cheap. I feel like after a few months, the game will be destroyed just due to the fact that the plastic and cardboard on the game are so thin.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Toys_and_Games |

That said, I would increase the honey and brown sugar to 3/4 cup. Or, you can decrease the amount of oats. After it cooled I added one cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. It was so good as cereal, even my 14 mo old son loved it!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | food |
