Title: Natural Balance Dog Food, Lamb Formula, 4 Pound Roll; Brand: Natural Balance; Review: My dog goes nuts for this stuff, but wondering how long it lasts in the fridge after opening. There's nothing on the label.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Merrick Texas Toothpicks Dog Treats, 5.5Oz.; Brand: Merrick; Review: My dog eats half in two minutes, loses interest, then it disintegrates in the grass overnight. Might be the short length of the sticks. More durable chew sticks that last longer are out there.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Natural Balance Dry Dog Food, Grain Free Limited Ingredient Diet Duck And Potato Formula, 15 Pound Bag; Brand: Natural Balance; Review: Was recommended by our breeder. Dog loves it and in great health over the past year and a half.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Frontline Plus for Dogs Medium Dog (23-44 pounds) Flea and Tick Treatment, 3 Doses; Brand: Frontline; Review: Works as advertised with no noticeable skin irritation from our dog. No chemical smell a day after application either.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: “I and love and you” All Natural Chews; Brand: I and love and you; Review: This listing is completely misleading. I did not see the question answered at the bottom. The one pack price is insanely expensive. Sprouts sells these for $15 per pack.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Natural Balance Dog Food, Turkey Formula, 4 Pound Roll; Brand: Natural Balance; Review: My dog loves this and it lasts a long time, but it would be helpful to see an expiration date on the roll (after opening and refrigerated).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Newts Chews Antler, Large; Brand: Newts Chews; Review: The only reason it's not 4 or 5 stars is my dog prefers the open face elk bone, so he can grind the marrow out with his teeth. He lost interest in this one quickly when he could only grind the two ends.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Enforcer 20-Ounce Flea Killer for Carpet, Ocean Breeze Fragrance; Brand: Enforcer; Review: I used two cans for roughly 1300sq. feet of carpet and ran just a bit short. Worked excellent - vacuumed after an hour vs. the 30 minute directions on the can. No itching from my dog in the last week.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dyson Groom Tool / Clean Up Kit; Brand: Dyson; Review: The tool with press down wire brush is worth the purchase - inhales dog hair effectively (along with fleas). You do need brush in the hair with your hand occasionally if you have a big shedder. Simple to use and my dog seemed to enjoy it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Outward Hound Hide-A-Squirrel Puzzle Plush Squeaking Toys Dogs; Brand: Outward Hound; Review: Terrific toy. For an active dog - mine goes nuts when I stuff the 3 squirrels back. It's durable and the perfect size toy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Outward Hound Squeaker Matz Dog Toy; Brand: Outward Hound; Review: A big toy (would not recommend for a sub 30lb. dog), but durable and good quality.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Outward Hound Squeaker Matz Dog Toy; Brand: Outward Hound; Review: A big toy (would not recommend for a sub 30lb. dog), but durable and good quality.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Outward Hound Squeaker Matz Dog Toy; Brand: Outward Hound; Review: A big toy (would not recommend for a sub 30lb. dog), but durable and good quality.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Junior Varsity Ball -- The 110% Guaranteed Indestructible Herding Ball Designed For Human-Free Small Dog Exercise (Royal Red); Brand: Varsity Pets; Review: It's hard plastic. I should have read the details. Good thing is it's indestructible and the perfect size for my dog to dribble around. I'd have much preferred a hard rubber ball of the same exact size.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Chuckit! Dog Ball Launcher; Brand: Chuckit!; Review: Durable and throws a tennis ball a mile. Great tool for a hyper dog.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chuckit! Sport Launcher Dog Ball Thrower 18M Assorted Colors; Brand: Chuckit!; Review: Durable and throws a tennis ball a mile. Great tool for a hyper dog.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Canine Hardware Chuckit! Tennis Ball; Brand: Chuckit!; Review: High quality balls. My dog will only chase a bright colored ball now, so had to buy this set. Easy to spot in all weather / conditions.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chuckit! Kick Fetch Toy Ball for Dogs; Brand: Chuckit!; Review: Firm enough to kick a distance, but soft and easy for my dog to bite down (grooves are a great idea) and run with it. The perfect kick ball to play with your dog.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Original Elevated Pet Bed by Coolaroo; Brand: Coolaroo; Review: Durable and takes minutes to put together. The gray color is exact to the picture. A great value vs. a foam dog bed that my dog destroys in 24 hrs.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bayer Advantage II Topical Flea Treatment Dogs; Brand: Bayer Animal Health; Review: Product works great - no ill effects on his skin / coat. Spread drops in 3 places from the back of neck to mid back. Flea issues abate in less than a day for us.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nature's Miracle Dual Action Hard Floor Stain & Odor Remove; Brand: Nature's Miracle; Review: Excellent cleaner to use with pets in the house. Cleans efficiently with little streaking on wood floors.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nature's Miracle Urine Destroyer Stain and Residue Eliminator; Brand: Nature's Miracle; Review: No color streaking and works great on all dog messes, instantly getting rid of the smell. You can't tell any spots were cleaned on our carpet.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Purina Pro Plan Savor Shredded Blend Chicken & Rice Formula Dry Puppy Food - 18 Lb. Bag; Brand: Purina Pro Plan; Review: My Husky pup loves it, and his full grown brother now eats it, so it must be awesome. Good value on the 34lb. bag.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Furminator Rake for Dogs; Brand: Furminator; Review: Not getting any undercoat from our 6 month old Husky pup, so wondering if he's already shed his first coat or the brush is just not picking up the undercoat.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Pro Slicker Brush for Dogs and Cats; Brand: HappyDogz; Review: It works excellent on our Shiba Inu, but I'm getting little hair from our 6 month old Husky pup. Maybe it's because he's a pup, but was told to use the slicker then the rake for best results on a Husky.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: ITERY Dog Leash, Pet Durable Leash Strap for Puppy Pet Leash Rope 6-feet Long 1” Wide; Brand: ITERY; Review: Ideal for a bigger dog e.g. Husky, who pulls as if he's owed money down the street. Clip and leash are sturdy. Great price and value.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Coolaroo Replacement Cover, The Original Elevated Pet Bed; Brand: Coolaroo; Review: Great value and easy to replace the half eaten original mat from a husky pup.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Caldwell's Pet Supply Co. No Tangle Dog Leash Coupler, Double Dog Walker - Trainer Leash; Brand: Caldwell's Pet Supply Co.; Review: Too difficult to manage with two different sized dogs e.g. 30lbs. and 70lbs. Ideal for similar sized dogs of the same age. Otherwise, one drags the other down the street.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Nylabone Dura Chew Combo Packs; Brand: Nylabone; Review: Dogs love them, and they last. Enough said.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SIMPLE GREEN Outdoor Pet Odor Eliminator; Brand: SIMPLE GREEN; Review: Easy to use - covered a good sized back yard in less than 20 minutes and all odor disappeared.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Plato Dog Treats -- Natural Salmon -- Pet Treats, All-Natural, Non-Gmo, No Artificial Flavors, Or; Brand: PLATO; Review: Ideal treat - dogs love it and contains the great oils for their coat. Perfect size portion for any dog. Good value for the 3 pack.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Best Bully Sticks Grade-A Elk and Deer Antler Dog Chews (1 Pack) Sourced in The USA; Brand: Best Bully Sticks; Review: Tiny antler stick, best for a poodle. Not worth the price.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Fromm Four-Star Nutritionals Oven-Baked Grain-Free Dog Treats 3 Flavor Variety Bundle:; Brand: Fromm Family Pet Food; Review: Great value for the money. Fromm's is a high quality product.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Deluxe Naturals Elk Antler Dog Chews by Pound; Brand: Deluxe Naturals; Review: The round antlers are useless - can't see any dog being able to crack it open. My dogs lose all interest in just gnawing on the tiny open end.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: ThunderShirt Classic Dog Anxiety Jacket; Brand: Thundershirt; Review: Observed about a 40% reduction in stress level during 4th of July fireworks with the vest. Far less pacing around.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |
Given the interaction history of a user with products as follows:
Title: Jane Yellowrock World Companion eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Faith Hunter Page; Review: This is not a book of only short stories, it reminds me of a Jane Yellowrock version of the Silmarillion by Tolkien. It brings in various perspectives on the history and world of Jane. It includes the pronunciation guide for all those who want to hear the Cherokee words in their heads properly, and a few other things that I mainly just browsed. But the 90 % that I read was worth the price of the book and more. Faith is an amazing writer and she shines in the short story. She has a way of painting a picture in your mind in a few words that many cannot, and envisioning what the world looks like from the mind of a 'not quite' mountain lion;to give that voice is just brilliant. This is not for the person who has never read a Yellowrock book, but I do wish I had it to read after the first book. It would have fleshed out the motivations of the characters in a new way.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Asylum Interviews; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jocelynn Drake Page; Review: I liked the new twist on warlocks and magic in this story. The relationship between Gage and Gideon seemed to be a little too much like Harry Dresden for me, but Bronx is an intriguing enigma. For being the title character, we know nothing about him other than his talent as a tattoo artist. It makes me want to read more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Small Magics - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ilona Andrews Page; Review: I love Ilona Andrews writing; most of the short stories I had already read, but loved being able to read them all over again. The joy of their writing is the richness of their world, which allows the development of other characters with very different experiences than their usual characters. A Questionable Client is the first time that Kate meets Saiman, and it really highlights how each person's morality affects how they see the world. It also has some of my favorite humor. A Questionable Client is my favorite story, featuring a nephew of Saiman, who doesn't feature in the Kate Daniels books. It has the combination of action, adventure, and character development that makes me want there to be a full book of their own. Of Swine and Roses was my least favorite; the story was set in the world of "Burn For Me", and while it was good, it didn't give me the same sense of a fleshed out heroine as they usually have, so it was only mostly wonderful. Of all of them, Grace of Small Magics was my favorite. Also in the "Burn For Me" world, the characters are well thought out, and as the story develops, it becomes more evident that what the characters have always accepted as true about themselves and their place in the world is incomplete. I also am a sucker for a redemption story, and both characters clearly grow through their experience. Ilona Andrews writes much more than "paranormal romance"; they make me think about the underlying depths of the story long after finishing. That plus romance, swashbuckling, magical creatures and blood feuds - how can you lose?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter: An Insider's Guide - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Sherrilyn Kenyon Page; Review: I've read quite a few of the Dark Hunter books, but was starting to get confused about who was related to whom, and a bit tired of the formula of "unfairly tortured but beautiful man betrayed by a beautiful damsel becomes a tortured Dark Hunter who then finds a virtuous soulmate to redeem him". Even the few female Dark Hunters were the same. I had hoped these would be good short stories that filled in some of the missing plots, but the stories themselves feel more like chapters edited from other books. If you love the books, you'll love these, but don't expect any of these to be an introduction to the universe. In fact, one of the short stories that features Acheron's brother Styxx makes no sense after reading the book Styxx. Although reality can be malleable, Acheron's brother describes himself as never having been anything but a pampered prince who hated to even touch Acheron, when his book has an entirely different history. I wish that I had gotten this from the library rather than purchased it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Twenty-Sided Sorceress Series, Books 1-3: Justice Calling, Murder of Crows, Pack of Lies - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Annie Bellet Page; Review: I bought this because of the 20 sided die; women were rare in my gaming group (as in, i was the only one). Fortunately that no longer seems to be as true, but role playing was as big a part of my development as it was to thecharacters in the novel. My husband even worked in a gaming and hobby shop and the picture she paints of the environment is authentic. The movie quips and references to role playing made me feel like I could have grown up to be her in an alternate life, our senses of humor are so similar. She had me hooked from the moment, two pages in, where the intimidating stranger announces that she is a murderer. The mysteries are internally consistent and don't need unrealistic actions on the part of a character/god/carefully placed spell book to come to conclusion. Just as important, she is not constantly in need of rescue because she does something stupid. She can rescue her own d@% self and a whole lot of people and then rely on her friends to pick her up once she passes out. She isn't the strongest character or the weakest, and she learns about who she needs to be as she goes along. She gets stronger and smarter over time, but her character also develops as she learns that not everyone will judge her for what she is. She also learns that morality and ethics are not black and white, and the right thing at the wrong moment may be disastrous, and the wrong thing for the right reasons may be necessary. If you like Seanan Maguire, Patty Briggs and Faith Hunter, you will like these books. I literally couldn't stop thinking about the books when the real world rudely interrupted. It made for some really interesting dreams too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hunting Season (The Twenty-Sided Sorceress Book 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Annie Bellet Page; Review: Annie Bellet can really do some awesome plotting and pacing. I am eagerly looking forward to the next book. I love the relationship between Jade and Alek, Harper and the twins. Its like a gaming group made real, with all of the camaraderie and in jokes. My favorite line was when they got the possibly evil sorcerer recovering in their house hooked on Firefly without telling her there was only 1 season. What punishment!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Kindle_Store |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: The Upham Hotel; City: Santa Barbara California; Review: My husband I stayed the Upham April 8-10. We paid $257 ( auto club rate) for a "cottage" with fireplace and private patio. ( Room #40) . The room was nice but the private patio was next to a busy street so it was very noisy with car traffic although the view was blocked by a fence. The hotel grounds are beautiful but the landscaping around our private patio was less than lush. We were disappointed with the street noise and the patio. The noise could also be heard in the room. Also, the service was less than friendly. At most small inns we have stayed at the staff goes out of their way to say hello and share some small talk. Not at the Upham. I have stayed at chain hotels with a friendlier staff. The continental breakfast was ample- scones, bagels, danish, fruit, ceral, hard boiled eggs, coffee, etc. The lobby and grounds were well maintained and enjoyable for sitting with a book or glass of wine. The Upham is within a five minute walk of the top of State Street. To get to the busy shopping area you will have to walk five to ten minutes more. We also used our bicycles to ride down to Summerland and around the Harbor area. You would need a car to get to the harbor area without a bicycle. At this point I am not sure if we will visit the Upham again. If we do we will certainly ask for a room away from the street. Most likely we will choose another hotel or bed and breakfast.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Marina; City: Marina California; Review: The room as previously mentioned was a decent size and clean. The bathroom is nice for a budget hotel especially the extra large shower head. Breakfast was good and as mentioned in another review the spa area is quite nice. I booked two nights through the Holiday Inn website. Thursday night was $72 but the price for Friday night was $154. Although we were happy with the hotel we checked on the Comfort Inn ( right across the street) price for Friday night on Friday morning. The Comfort Inn was only $79. We went back to the Holiday Inn and told the general manager we were checking out and moving across the street. She immediately matched the Comfort Inn rate for Friday night so we stayed. We found out Saturday morning that only 17 rooms were occupied at the Holiday Inn. Could it be the huge price jump.... Anyway, it pays to call or ask for a better rate.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Residence Inn Milpitas Silicon Valley; City: Milpitas California; Review: Stayed here for one night in a two bedroom suite. We had three teenagers with us so the suite was wonderful- three tv's, two bathrooms/bedrooms, and lots of privacy. The staff was very helpful. Enjoyed the complimentary continental breakfast and breakfast room. There were lots of different foods to select from. Also Monday to Thursday evening they have a wine/beer/soda reception where they serve food- the night we stayed it included chicken tamales, chips, fresh veggies, and macaroni salad along with the drinks. If you were not too hungry it could be a decent light dinner. This was the first time we had stayed at a Residence Inn and will definately stay at others.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crystal Crag Lodge; City: Mammoth Lakes California; Review: Crystal Crag is in a wonderful location, directly on the shore of Lake Mary in Mammoth Lakes.There are so many things to do- hiking, cycling, kayaking, fishing, enjoying the mountain air from the cabin deck. Mammoth in summer is magical. The staff was helpful and friendly when asked. However, the office closes at 5 pm. One evening we locked ourselves out of our cabin, called the emergency numbers on the office door, but no one answered any of the numbers. Luckily, one of our cabin windows was open so we could climb in. The cabin we stayed in was rustic. By rustic I mean really beat up Motel 6. The furniture was ancient and uncomfortable. The most comfortable place to sit in our cabin were the plastic chairs on the deck. The bed was a back breaker. My son ended up sleeping on the floor rather than the sofa bed. The toilet rocked despite the pieces of cardboard stuck around the edges to keep it from rocking. The kitchen was small but had everything needed to cook and eat. I paid a total of about $670 for four nights for our one bedroom cabin. Not too bad for the Mammoth area. My credit card was charged the full amount when I made the reservation in February or March. This included the room rate and taxes. I was upset by this at first but the owner explained that because the lodge is open only a few months a year they need to insure that all rooms are paid for and reserved. Overall, the location of Crystal Crag makes up for the limited facilities. Before staying here again I will investigate some of the other lake front cabins around Mammoth Lakes.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Orchard Hill Farm; City: Paso Robles San Luis Obispo County California; Review: Although a bit out of the way ( and a bit expensive) , Orchard Hill was a perfect place for a relaxing weekend. We stayed for two nights in the Countryside Room. The room was beautifully furnished and had a deck overloooking the rolling countryside. Although we were in the area to visit family and do some wine tasting we enjoyed just hanging around at Orchard Hill in front of the fireplace playing Scrabble with a glass of wine.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Golden Gate Hotel; City: San Francisco California; Review: Hotel is charming and located near cable cars, shopping, etc. We loved visiting with Pip the cat and Patsy the dog. We stayed in a room on the ground floor at the back of the hotel. The room was clean and comfortably furnished. The bathroom was smail but had a wonderful clawfoot tub. Breakfast consisted of croissants and coffee. Okay for one morning but not every day for three days. The staff and owners were friendly and helpful. However, our three night stay was $550 with taxes. Our friends stayed half a block away, in a larger hotel but with an equally nice room, for $200 less. I would have preferred to spend my money on shopping rather than a room.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Historic Requa Inn; City: Klamath California; Review: We stayed three nights in the Cathedral Room of this historic inn. The room was decorated in reds - feminine but not overly done. I especially enjoyed the clawfoot tub for evening soaks with a glass of wine. Our room had a beautiful view of the Klamath River. We did have an opportunity to check out some of the other rooms and all were nice, clean, and comfortable. The best part of this inn however were the innkeepers, Barb and Dave. They are very friendly and helpful. Takling care of the Requa is a labor of love for them and it shows. The downstairs sitting areas and dining room have lots of comfortable sofas, a fireplace, and windows for gazing at the river. We met lots of interesting guests from around the world. There is a computer and TV for guest use, as well as a hot tub outside. The breakfast was amazing. There is a menu of breakfast meats, eggs, homemade bread, and fruit to choose from and daily specials like omelettes.. Hotcakes are adifferent flavor each day- I especially enjoyed the gingerbread pancakes. Everything is made to order. My boyfriend loved the green smoothie. I highly recommend the Requa Inn. It proved to be a perfect place to come home to after a day spent hiking, kayaking, and exploring the Redwood National and State Parks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Glacier Lodge; City: Big Pine California; Review: We stayed at the Glacier Lodge in July to hike the North and South Fork of the Big Pine Creek. The traill head is right at the door of the Glacier Lodge so it was the perfect location. Like most of the other lodges I have been to in the Eastern Sierra's this place is not fancy, in fact it is quite rustic. But, the bed was comfortable, it was clean, and the scenery was unbelievable. Our one bedroom cabin had a living room/dining room and a tiny kitchen with a charming assortment of odd pans and dishes. Out back we had a BBQ/fire pit and picnic table where we ate our breakfast, dinner, and toasted s'mores under the stars. I would recommend the Glacier Lodge to hikers and fishing enthusiasts who want to stay where the action is without camping. Yes it is more expensive than the boring motels in Bishop but I think it is well worth the cost to be in the midst of the glorious Sierras.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wuksachi Lodge; City: Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park California; Review: We stayed here for four nights over Thanksgiving weekend. The rooms are nicer than most national park lodging because the lodge is only ten years old. But the room like a Comfort Inn but at twice the price. However, we enjoyed being close to hiking trails and the Sequoia sights.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Avila Village Inn; City: Avila Beach San Luis Obispo County California; Review: We stayed at the hotel for two nights between Christmas and New Year. Our room was lovely with a large bathroom and hot tub on the balcony. The location is perfect- a one mile walk to Avila Beach or a short drive to Pismo Beach, San Luis Obispo, and the surrounding wine country.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Phka Villa; City: Battambang Battambang Province; Review: Made a reservation here over a month ago. When we tried to check in today was told there Weren't any rooms. There was a family of six in the lobby with the same problem. Interetingly there was room at their sister hotel, The Bungalow. I think this is a ploy to get guests at the other hotel, which is far from town and rundown.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Manor House; City: Phnom Penh; Review: We enjoyed a three night stay at this small hotel. Room was clean and comfortable. A highlight of our stay was talking to the friendly, welcoming staff. Breakfast was lovely next to the pool. Location is good. We walked many places.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Royal Crown Hotel; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: We stayed here for 10 days. Our room was very nice, comfortable, and quiet. The hotel is a five minute walk from the touristy (and noisy) part of Siem Reap so it's close enough to enjoy the restaurants, bars, shopping etc but far enough away to feel like you are away from the maddening crowd. The pool is very refreshing after a long, hot day of temple visiting. Breakfast is good with western and Asian food. What I liked most was the welcoming, friendly service from every member of the excellent staff. Service was comparable to five star hotels I have visited.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lucia Lodge; City: Big Sur California; Review: We stayed in cabin 8 for three nights over Thanksgiving weekend. Our cabin, although not luxurious, was lovely with a nice sitting area and gas fireplace. The view of the southern Big Sur coast was unforgettable. Each evening we enjoyed the sunset from the small hill behind the cabins with a bottle of wine ( brought from home- the stuff in the store is expensive). The Lucia Lodge was a great base for the hiking we did over the weekend. For dinner we ate at the Lucia Lodge one night ( good but not great). The other two nights we drove about half an hour north to Big Sur proper. One night we ate at Nepenthe's (amazing food and atmosphere) and the other we ate at the Big Sur Inn ( also excellent!) . I would recommend the Lucia Lodge if you are looking for a relaxing stay in Big Sur.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Hideaway Hotel Playa Samara; City: Playa Samara Province of Guanacaste; Review: My husband and I stayed in room 10 of the Hideaway Hotel for five nights. It is a beautiful small hotel with spacious, comfortable rooms. The best feature is Doug, the owner, and his wonderful attentive staff. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed sitting by the pool in the morning drinking the great coffee and eating breakfast. We did not do much in Samara, choosing to spend our time on the beach or by the pool . The beach is a two minute walk from the hotel. We walked every day along the beach into town ( about a 45 minute walk each way ), stopping to swim along the way. Very relaxing. We also walked most days over to Playa Carrillo ( about a ten minute walk ).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chalet Nicholas Bed Breakfast; City: Nuevo Arenal Province of Guanacaste; Review: We stayed three nights at Chalet Arenal with John and Cathy. As many other reviews mention, John and Cathy are amazing hosts. Breakfast was wonderful every morning and our room ( The Volcano Room) was very comfortable. Sitting on the front porch watching the birds and the dogs is relaxing. If you are planning to do some of the activities around the Arenal volcano ( zip lining, canyoneering, etc) the drive from Chalet Nicholas is at least 45 minutes. It is a beautiful drive around the lake but we drove back and forth three times which turned out to be a lot of driving. On our first day in Arenal we went zip lining at Sky Trek ( booked by Cathy). It was a lot of fun. That afternoon we had lunch at Arenal Observatory Lodge with it's unbeatable volcano view and then hiked to Cerro Chato, a lake in the crater of a dormant volcano, from the Arenal Observatory Lodge. It was $6 a person to enter the lodge property but there are about eight miles of beautiful hiking trails and we even took a dip in the swimming pool. Day two we hiked down to La Fortuna waterfall. We also hiked some trails that go up into the rain forest above the waterfall. Very pretty and no other people. In the afternoon we walked around Fortuna ( don't bother- not a very nice place) and then went to the Ecothermales Hot Spring. We were the only people there for most of the time and I felt it was well worth the $34 per person admission. I could have spent all day in the hot springs. Day three we went canyoneering with Desafio Adventure tours. It was a lot of fun. The guides were amazing. Generally , my husband and I avoid group activities but this one was worth it. And the lunch was one of the best lunches we had in Costa Rica. From there we drove to Samara on the Pacific coast for our next stop.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Desert Pearl Inn; City: Springdale Utah; Review: My husband and I generally stay at the Zion Lodge inside the park but drive in to Springdale for dinner because the lodge restaurant is lacking selection and flavor. This year we decided to stay in Springdale instead and we were so glad we selected the Desert Pearl Inn. We stayed in a room along the river. The room was well appointed and the view of the Watchman from our deck was spectacular, especially right before sunset. The little kitchen was great for a quick breakfast before hiking and for afternoon wine and snacking. We loved sitting in the Jacuzzi in the evening looking at the stars and visiting with other guests. Also, it was great to be within walking distance of restaurants and the grocery store. Desert Pearl is very near to the entrance to Zion so it is only a ten minute drive into the park. Although we missed our evening stroll to the Court of the Patriarchs ( a tradition when we stay at the lodge) I think it was much better to be in town with the amenities of a nice hotel. We will definitely stay at the Desert Pearl again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Borg s Ocean Front Motel; City: Pacific Grove Monterey County California; Review: Like most of the other reviewers, I agree the accommodations at Borg's are clean but basic. But for the money the view and location cannot be beat. We had a second floor ocean view room (#126) with an amazing view of the bay. From the two comfortable chairs in front of our room we saw otters, whales, and lots of other tourists. The motel is an easy walk to many good restaurants in Pacific Grove or less than a mile walk to the aquarium. Every morning went for a five mile run out past the lighthouse toward Asilomar. If you want a fancy hotel don't stay here. But, if you would rather spend your money on a nice dinner or wine tasting, Borgs's is perfect.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain; Author: Visit Amazon's David Eagleman Page; Review: I thought it was overly polite, or politically correct for Dr. Eagleman not to ever use the word brainwashing which is what control of sub-conscious decision making used to be called.

Title: Vionic Eve - Womens Supportive Thong Sandals Black Patent - 9 Wide; Brand: Orthaheel; Review: I have many problems with my feet so I have tried just about every brand that carries wide width sandals. The Vionic Eve is the most comfortable sandal I have ever worn and they looked great! My feet usually throb after a day at work and on the first day of wearing this shoe, my feet were fine.

Title: Ziploc Space Bag 15 Bag Space Saver Set (2 XL, 5 L, 4 M, 4 Travel); Brand: Ziploc; Review: I recently purchased this item and I have to admit I was somewhat skeptical about the product. I have to say this product is great. I have 4 large floor pillows that I inserted in the bag, attached the vacuum hose and watched as all the air was withdrawn and the bag was shrunk. I then placed my sofa and loveseat loose pillows in the next bags. I am truly amazed how versatile this item is. I just had to order additional bags. This is truly a great buy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: A Is for Atticus: Baby Names from Great Books; Author: Visit Amazon's Lorilee Craker Page; Review: I was disappointed in this book. The literary names appear to be chosen at random from a strange smattering of literature that is by no means comprehensive or coherent. The descriptions focus largely on the author's opinion of the names and their trendiness. The paragraphs for each name feel like rambling. I wouldn't be surprised if the list of names was created and then a search was done to see where they might have been used in a book. On top of that, the list is not very long.

Title: Homewood Suites by Hilton Birmingham SW Riverchase Galleria; City: Hoover Alabama; Review: My husband and I were traveling and just needed a place to sleep. Excellent location right off I-65 but in a very quiet area. This hotel was so much more. Very clean and fresh. The staff was awesome. Front desk people were very knowledgeable about the area and directed us to all the great shopping nearby. Dining staff were so nice and helpful. We had dinner in the hotel and breakfast the next morning. What could be better than French toast and bacon or sausage and biscuits and fresh fruit? Or an assortment of cereals and breakfast breads? Breakfast was better than dinner but the salad bar was very good both nights. We were making a quick trip to the coast and came back thru and stayed a second time in the same week. Again excellent service and awesome staff. We had a king suite and the room was very spacious and bed was so cozy. I was impressed that every thing was so clean. The staff was working hard each time we came thru to keep the lobby and breakfast area neat and clean. I have nothing at all negative to say about this hotel. the management should be very proud of all the employees because they are great!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Hotel was nice but there were several college age "kids" who somewhat took over at times. Beds were great and room was neat and clean. Breakfast was not very good either morning. No OJ either day and lots of options just not very good! For the price of the room I expected better. The shuttle was very nice and Stanley the driver was great.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: TownePlace Suites Goldsboro; City: Goldsboro North Carolina; Review: We spent 2 nights here while visiting friends in the area. Everything was new and clean. restaurants within walking distance. Near a small shopping area if you want to get out of your room and walk around. We found there was plenty of space in our room and there was a door between the sink area and bedroom (don't know what kind of room the other reviewer had). Also there were eggs and sausage both mornings we were there. Wi-fi worked fine. Staff were very friendly.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Decatur; City: Decatur Alabama; Review: Hotel was fine if a little older looking. But the staff was great. Check in was good. I developed a stomach distress problem overnight and just did not feel like breakfast. My husband went to the lobby in search of a sprite and crackers for me. None were to be found. The staff at the bistro area really helped out. Provided me with a cold bottle of sparkling water and the lady ( don't know her name, sorry) made some flatbread for me that was out of this world. This helped my stomach for the 3 hour ride home. Thank you so much. There was a lot of noise in the hallway and family and kids yelling until very late at night.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Marriott Shoals Hotel Spa; City: Florence Alabama; Review: We had very good experience with check in and room was very nice. However there was some type meeting going on that made it loud and crowded in lobby area. Table set up right next to elevators so we could not get past. Also we ate at the restaurant and bar. Food was good but menu was very limited and very expensive. There was a group of boys by the hot tub and pool area partying late that were LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Gate Thief (Mither Mages); Author: Visit Amazon's Orson Scott Card Page; Review: This is the fourth series in a row of Card's that I have picked up, invested in, and been unable to finish. Because he hasn't written the last book! He does, however, always write a very nice afterword telling you what should have come next. This man's logic fascinates me. It comes the closer to my own thought processes than anything I've ever read, and anyone I've ever talked to. Even the fact that he is severly unable to finish his stories. Don't get me wrong; if I were allowed to choose one celebrity to meet in person, it would be this guy. But still... It makes me want to write an incredibly engaging review for all four series and then stop right before I get to the; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gatefather: A Novel of the Mithermages; Author: Visit Amazon's Orson Scott Card Page; Review: Finally, a series that had an ending! I love everything Card writes. I wish he didn't think he had to make his characters swear to be authentic. A lot of his readers don't. But what he imagines up, with his knowledge of the universe, is entertaining enough to be worth a few cringes. His books make me feel like I'm not as alone as I thought I was. These things sell... so other people must also think like he does...like I do. Or at least they appreciate it. Comforting. Especially lately.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Shop on Main: Comfort Crossing Book One; Author: Visit Amazon's Kay Correll Page; Review: What is it about amateur writers inability to see the repetitive narrative in their writing? These books would be half the size if whittled down to writing that wasn't completely redundant. And it gets really old when the "reason they can't be together" part of the formula is completely dependant on the woman being an immature vindictive brat, while the guy is inexplicably altruistic and smitten with said woman while acting like a little brat. EVERY ONE! So completely unrealistic, yet no one can put new ingredients into the recipe.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Magnolia Story; Author: Visit Amazon's Chip Gaines Page; Review: The cover was off-putting to me. I wasn't going to even look at the book because I get enough of watching other people's perfect lives be perfect on Facebook all day. ;D Because of the whole BuzzFeed thing, I thought the least I could do to support them was buy their dumb book. I just finished reading it... it only took a few hours and I only put it down a couple of times. Wow- what a great read!! Short and sweet, fun, inspirational and wise. They own how charmed some parts of their lives have been, and are grateful for it, and they confess how dismal some parts of their lives have been, and are wiser for it. I'm so glad I had an excuse to get it, I really loved it!! I love that something genuinely good is competing with the yick Hollywood is putting on our screens and shelves. More of this stuff, please. More couples who stay together, families who function-- THRIVE-- by listening to the one who created us and knows better.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Unholy Trinity: Blocking the Left's Assault on Life, Marriage, and Gender; Author: Visit Amazon's Matt Walsh Page; Review: Your conscience gets pricked. It happens. Truth hurts when you're not a complete psychopath and you still have a granule of sanity in your subconscious, no matter how loudly you spout your belief that "love" is self-gratification, or that "freedom" is irresponsibility. Basic truth isn't going to change just because it angers people. So Matt, one of the people who still recognizes truth, pricks consciences. Keep it up, Matt.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: French Toast Girls' Short Sleeve Ruffle Polo; Brand: ; Review: These have a bit of a spandex feel to them so they were pretty snug from jump. My daughter is a true 3t (not chubby, very athletic) and this fit like a tighty when we received it. After stretching it, it fit fine but still seemed to show belly when she was moving and playing. We washed it, no shrinkage but went back to the way it was when we first received it. The material is pretty flexible so we stretched it again and it was okay. I would suggest the next size up especially if you need to wear it often like we do.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Bah, Humbug! (Christmas Street Romance #1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Heather Horrocks Page; Review: Short but great story. Relatable. Would have loved it to be longer. A great holiday romantic comedy to read during Christmas time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Beijing Restaurant; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Only did take-out, but from what I saw, the atmosphere looked way dark and grungy. The food is average, at best, and prices are a bit expensive for what you get.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: New Deck Tavern; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Nice bar feel to the place. Intimate space, good food. Their hamburgers are delicious, and the fries are spiced perfectly. Enjoyed it, am definitely going to go back in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pattaya; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The food was alright... I've definitely have had better Thai food (but then again, I come from Southern California). Atmosphere was classy and felt very intimate. It's on the more expensive side for Thai food, but I guess the "fusionness" of the place warrants the price.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Allegro Pizza; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: In my opinion, the best pizza in UC. It's a little on the pricey side - 2 slices and a Coke will run you about $7. Still, this has been my quick on-the-go-dinner spot for a while, and is always good for a laid-back time, eating pizza and watching TV.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: QDOBA Mexican Eats; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Imitation Chipotle. Chicken is too dry, beef is too tasteless, pork isn't even on the menu. Still, I go because I miss Chipotle, hah. Decent for quick "Mexican" food fix.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Saad's Halal Restaurant; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Not sure what's all the fuss about - maybe I order the wrong stuff? Nevertheless, the food was very tasty, but a bit on the pricey side for what you get. The decor is nothing exciting, but there's plenty of space to get a small group of friends together. If I wanted to get some Middle Eastern food in W Philly this would probably be it. edit: I've finally tried their Chicken Marousch, which was highly recommended by y'all. I've eaten it several times now, so I bumped them up to 4 stars. Still overpriced in my opinion, but it is all halal..; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Best House Pizzeria; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Average pizza. However, if you get their "combo" deals, it works out alright. For example, one is if you get 2 slices, you get a third free. The best thing about the Best House is that it's open late, has a great drink selection (especially for the neighborhood), and is run by friendly people. Try something not on their menu when you're there.. it's called a "zipolee." Sort of like fried sweet bread dough topped off with powered sugar. The Best House isn't the best in Ucity (Allegro's is) but it gets the job done.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: New Number One Chinese Restaurant; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: It's al-right. Sadly, it's the best Chinese food I've discovered in the area (but it's 2/10 on my overall Chinese food list... oh and I grew up eating the stuff so trust me on this one). The people are legit Chinese people, but they throw in too few ingredients and too much oil onto everything. I'd go when I had an absolute need for "Chinese" food, but nowadays, I just try to trek it out to Chinatown.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Bubble House; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Honestly, I only had the boba milk tea here. But the boba tasted a day old and the mixture was all off. For a place that calls itself the Bubble House, it has really bad bubble tea (and it's called boba East Coasters!), and I'm hesitant to ever try its food. If I ever do, and miraculously discover it's tasty I'll report back. I came back and tried their "Vietnamese hoagie." This place is still terrible. I don't know why people eat here, honestly.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Tandoor Authentic Indian Restaurant; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Expensive buffet, poorly seasoned and dry meats, the only thing bumping them up one star is that their vegetables are passable. Otherwise, I'm probably never going back here. Bad Indian food in my opinion, look elsewhere to get your Tandoori.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: KoJa; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: This food truck on 38th Street and Walnut Street (a little ways north of the Locust Walk bridge to be honest) is some of the best Asian food I've found in University City. The guy who runs it is extremely friendly (always smiles) and the price is very, very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Not to mention, it's tasty! Good ingredients, good cooking... I'm going there tomorrow to get some more authentic Korean food.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pari Cafe Creperie; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Massive selection of de-licious crepes. I did not know such things as salty crepes existed until this place (chicken in a crepe?? crazy!). As a result of this genius, you can now have crepes for a meal. The convenient location on Penn campus (in Houston Hall) makes this a great place to get a fast meal. It's not the BEST tasting crepe in the world - they are a bit heavy-handed with the sauces, the chicken is usally a bit dry, but hey-it gets the job done. Be prepared for long lines, due to all the Penn kids that mob the place at lunch.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Kevin's Hair Salon; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Attentive and careful service with a youthful and hip vibe. Specializes in Asian haircuts. If helps if you can speak Mandarin.. otherwise you might have trouble telling the guy exactly what you want. Run by a guy and his wife, and I think one more male relative. They're open 7 days a week from 10am to 8pm.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ocean Harbor; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I ate dimsum here... honestly, it's quite delicious! I was quite impressed by what Philly has to offer in Ocean Harbor. I should note I'm from Los Angeles, and definitely had my fair share of dim sum back there too. Things to order... the bamboo wrapped sticky rice, red pork buns, shu-mai, he pun (the long white noodles with shrimp in it) and the white radish cake. Yum, I'm getting hungry just typing all of this.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Zhong Gang Bakery; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Meh - an underwhelming cafe/bakery. I mean, the bread is fresh, but it's not flavored right. Not sweet enough or something... but there was definitely something missing in what I was eating. I couldn't imagine ordering a drink here.. just couldn't imagine it tasty good after my bread experience.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Mercato BYOB; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Came here for dinner. We were seated promptly, and although we were right next to another table with other diners, it still felt intimate. Something about the atmosphere at Mercato. The bread came with a delicious butter-olive oil cream. Light and delicious. As for dinner, perfect amounts and prepared to perfection. I'm not too clear about their reservation policy, but I remember it being something along the lines of your being able to reserve anytime during the weekdays, but it becomes a first-come-first serve during the weekend. But who cares, this is my favorite BYO in Philadelphia and I will wait all night out in the cold to get seated. Ps. Get the cheesecake. I swear you won't be disappointed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: La Viola Ovest; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Terrifically... underwhemling. Despite having a reservation, it still took them 45 minutes to get us seated. Waiters were inattentive and impersonal. The wine wasn't even put into ice buckets. They just let them linger there on the table. Food tasted like it came from yet-another-Italian chain, perhaps only slightly tastier than your local Olive Garden establishment. Don't bother with this Italian BYO, there's others and better in Philly.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Philly Flavors; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Want an alternative to Rita's that's got not only water ice but even ice cream? Go to Philly Flavors. It's a little out of the way (okay a lot out of the way) but I've always enjoyed their wide selection, friendly staff and delicious selection of cold sweet desserts.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fu-Wah Mini Market; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The owner is the best, always friendly and I think he can recognize my voice over the phone when I call in my orders. Like others have said, the tofu hoagie is a great choice (even if you're not vegetarian). I usually get their Vietnamese chicken hoagie, which is always a solid meal for me. In addition to their deli selections, Fuwah is a solid little corner grocer. There's some niche Asian food selections there (such as curries and assorted snacks - shrimp chips anyone?).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: White Dog Cafe; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I used to love love this place, but going back multiple times has sort of dimmed my view of it. It's a great date location in University City, but the food is sort of lacking. White Dog has an awesome commitment to using local and organic foods, which I wholeheartedly support. Now if they could only use those undoubtedly tasty ingredients to produce superior dishes.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pho & Cafe Saigon; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Unfriendly wait staff and pho that is definitely precooked and dumped into hot broth minutes before being served. Why do I come back time and time again? There's no better (and by that, I mean, no other) place to get pho in University City. Come for pho that's fast, relatively cheap, and pretty tasty.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Vic Sushi Bar; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I kind of didn't want to review this place, because I want to keep it mine, mine mine. But alas, the word is getting out there, so I might as well give the Vic owner's his due. Hands down, the best sushi restaurant in the area. I talked with the owner a bit the first time I was there, and he's a swell guy. Friendly and looking out for you (and your stomach). The fish is Fresh, with a capital F, sliced to perfection. Oh and their rolls. You just can't go wrong. Like others have said, the seating is very very limited, but it's so worth the trip. Worst comes to worst, just get take out, or do what I do, and go a bit before the dinner rush.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Green Line Cafe; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Indie independent coffee shop that has great selection of coffee, tea, bagels and other pastries. Seating is usually available (except on weekend mornings), and environment is perfect for a date-y meeting. Staff can be cold sometimes, but there's this one guy who gives the best smiles. Try their special cherry walnut bagels, unique taste I haven't found duplicated elsewhere. The biggest thing knocking one star off from my review is no Wi-Fi! It's one of the major reasons why I don't go there more often.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fante's Kitchen Shop; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Great selection of kitchen stuffs, this store has always had what I wanted when it came to the kitchen. Bonus, what they have is always high quality at fair prices. I've gotten cute mason jars and glass pitcher here. A bit far from where I live located in the Italian Market, but worth the extra commute to get what I want. Recommended for all your cooking needs!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Koreana; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: This place used to be known as 38th Pizza and Korean food, but ever since it changed owners and is now called "Koreana", it focuses solely on Korean food. I'm told the Korean food now tastes better (but I can't really judge, because I never visited it before the change). I used to called it the $6 place, because all their dishes used to cost that much. Unfortunately, they've raised the prices slightly, but I enjoy their food. It's not stellar, but in way of close, cheap and fast Korean food around the UPenn area, you can't go wrong with Koreana. Try their bulgogi or kalbi, traditional Korean dishes they don't ever mess up. Their noodle dishes are alright, but don't ever seem to fill me up. Lastly for dessert, there's always the Korean shaved ice - a cute fun way to end any date if you're nearby. Update-May 6. I took off a star (so now it's 3 stars) because the quality of this joint has gone down. For example, their pork meat doesn't taste like meat anymore. Prices have also gone up (which is understandable with the crazy world food situation at the moment), but I'm disappointed in Koreana's lack of adherence to quality. The ONLY dish worth getting now is their kalbi.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Capogiro Gelato; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: A tad overrated, and I wish they stayed open later, but it's a solid choice for a tasty post-dinner dessert. Some of their gelatos are a bit too sweet for my liking, but the fruity ones usually don't let me down. They could work on the decor a bit - make it more inviting and sit-down and eat here - but then again, maybe they're trying to keep the massive crowds rolling through :) Enjoy, it's a tasty Philly establishment.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bonded BoutiqueCleaners; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Sure, they can get your shirts clean. But don't expect them to do it with a smile. The first dress shirt I sent there, they managed to break a button (I've been getting shirts dry cleaned for years now, and this was a first in my book). The second dress shirt I sent, they managed to iron the "collar stays" into the collar. Quality. Needless to say, I'm looking for another neighborhood dry cleaner to fulfill my fabric needs.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Picanha Brazilian Steakhouse; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: A Brazilian BBQ, casual, seats large parties well. You can choose to do either the all-you-can-eat or by-pound. I did the by pound, and my dinner meal came out to about $8. If I was hungrier I definitely could have eaten more. They have excellent cuts of meat, wide variety, and well seasoned (although occasionally a little too salty). Yes, there's a buffet bar too, but this IS Brazilian BBQ - the only thing getting onto your plate should be meat :) Verdict - tasty, would come back if it wasn't so darn far away!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Vietnam Restaurant; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Real Vietnamese restaurant owned by ethnically Vietnamese people. As a result, the pho is authentic and tasty. Their other dishes are good as well. Really, this is the best Vietnamese place I've found in Philly yet. They serve alcohol here too - unique cocktails that I haven't found anywhere else. One drink, I forgot the name of it, is so big that two people can easily get buzzed off it. I'm pretty sure that this is owned by the same family that runs Fuwa and also the newly opening Vietnam Cafe (both in West Philly). They've never done me wrong!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Nan Zhou Hand Drawn Noodle House; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: This is the real deal. I lived in Beijing for 6 months, and the way this shop makes their noodles is the authentic way. If you don't know what I'm talking about, the noodle-maker takes a ball of dough, stretches it out, slaps it down onto the board, folds in half and then repeats. That probably didn't make any sense, so you've gotta go and see it for yourself. What to order? You can't go wrong with their niu rou tang mien (beef noodle soup). The beef isn't too fatty or too dry, and the soup base is seasoned just right. If you're in Chinatown, I think this is one of the best quick meals to be had. Sure, the wait staff of one person isn't going to be the nicest nor most attentive server in the world, but you don't go to a real hole in the wall to be pampered.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vietnam Cafe; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Right next door to Fu-Wah, this is run by the same people who run Vietnam in Chinatown. And it shows - the place is decorated in the same classy, dark style and I think even has some of the same servers. And of course, the pho is just as tasty. Finally a good Vietnamese restaurant in West Philly has arrived. The soup is seasoned just right, the pho is fresh and the meat is tasty. No more need to go to Chinatown or Washington Ave for me :) It has been consistently very busy during dinner time, and they don't take reservations, so if you're going with a large group, expect a wait.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tiffin; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I ordered Tiffin for dinner tonight online. If you want dinner, you need to order by 2pm (for delivery at either the 5-6pm or 6-7pm slots). I had one of their "tiffin" - essentially a meal set, and then one of their "appetizers." Unfortunately their appetizers don't have the other assortment of side dishes that the tiffin has. I should note that this was enough for 2 people, although in a perfect world, I would have ordered two tiffins to ensure we were stuffed. The dishes are tasty - not the best Indian I've ever had, but definitely the best I've had in Philly. Their delivery was as promised (as in on time), and the delivery man was actually very nice and courteous (I was expecting a hurried guy with a gruff attitude, but he actually took time to say hello and goodbye!). Of course, since he was delivering multiple orders to all the customers out in University City, my meal was a bit less than piping hot by the time it got to me. Still, I would order again, and it's nice being able to hide in your house during this bitter Philly winter while enjoying heartwarming Indian food.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ye Olde Clean'ry; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Came here because of Yelp and also because my previous cleaner had earned my distrust. I had also been talking with a coworker about dry cleaners, and coincidentally he uses this place too. So it was eagerness that I dropped off a shirt here to get cleaned. First-fast turn around time (dropped it off Wed afternoon, it was ready by Friday). Secondly-service with a smile (such friendly people; are they really dry cleaners?). Lastly-the shirt previously had a noticeable stain on it that the last cleaners couldn't get off. These guys pulled it off (or should I say, cleaned it off har-har). With such a positive dry cleaners experience, I'm definitely coming back.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Zen Tea House; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: If this is the best that Philly has to offer in the way of boba, I cry for you, Philly. A boba shop should be judged on the quality of its boba. Good boba has to be made daily, as it only keeps so long before it loses its suppleness (there's a Taiwanese word for the texture I'm trying to describe... "cue cue"). Unfortunately Zen didn't have this. Its boba was too chewy and tasted old. True - I avoid boba nowadays, often opting for the aloe vera, but still, I do use it as an indicator of the quality of a boba house. Zen doesn't get the boba right, but it does get the comfortable atmosphere, clean settings and tasty, diverse drink options right.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mayflower Bakery & Cafe; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: One day I went around Chinatown's bakeries getting one item - the pineapple bun (it's the bun with the cracked glazed yellow top). If you're okay with my using that as a barometer, Mayflower is the best bakery in Philly Chinatown. I've tried their other items as well, and haven't been disappointed. Their roll cakes are tasty (can never go wrong with the coffee ones). This is my bakery of choice when I'm in the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sang Kee Peking Duck House; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I will be honest-their Beijing duck is pretty darn tasty. But everything else is average. And any time you take a fatty duck and bake it to a crisp, it's pretty hard to make it undelicious. If you come here, come for the duck and maybe the walnut shrimp (which they don't make authentic btw, but it gets the job done if you're craving it). Don't get too excited about the other dishes though. Service is like their food, average. A solid "meh".; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Abner's Cheesesteaks; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Sketchy tables, unfriendly staff, poor quality-tasting meat and underwhemling bread. All that made for a below average cheesesteak. And yes, I got it with the whiz. The only things Abner has going for it is that it's pretty much the only cheesesteak restaurant in University City and it gives some deals if the local university sport teams do super well. Too bad there's a smattering of food trucks that do cheesesteaks just as well, if not better than Abner's. Be nice to your stomach, find a different place to fix that hunger.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Colonial Pizza; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: It might be a personal taste sort of thing, but the pizza here is average. If you really don't feel like walking a couple blocks to Allegro's, by all means, walk into this hole-in-the-wall feeling joint to grab a slice or two. They do have beers and a couple tables, so maybe if you sat down and drank enough, you could forget the mediocrity you're ingesting. I haven't tried their other foods, but reading the other reviews, I'll give it a shot sometime and report back then.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Green Line Cafe; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Small, cozy and more dimly lit Green Line Jr. I remember being able to access wireless internet here, although I don't remember if I was mooching off some neighboring apartment's. Coffee and teas taste the same as the big Green Line, and all the usual suspects are present (for example, the Vietnamese sandwiches). It can get packed on the weekends, but if you want to come early to grab a table, this is coffee place with a cozier vibe than its bigger brother.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: H Mart - Upper Darby; City: Upper Darby, PA; Review: Located right at the end of the El at 69th St Station, H Mart is a Korean supermarket complete with a food court and various Korean shops (including a hair salon). I come here for all my Asian food needs. Although they're lacking some Chinese food items (understandably), it gets the job done. It feels and looks cleaner than Chinatown markets too. Upstairs there's a fair selection of Korean food joints. Not the best stuff I've tasted, but you can't beat the convenience. Go shopping, then go eating. Always makes for a good cheap date idea! (yeah, you probably shouldn't date me). If you drive, there's a lot right across the street that always has spots free.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Five Guys; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I was reminiscing about In and Out two days ago, and it got me thinking - is there a burger (and solely burger) joint out here in Philly that I enjoy. The answer was yes! Five Guys. But I should be fair. You can't really compare In and Out and Five Guys. The former is light and portioned just right; the latter is heavyyyy. Every time I eat Five Guys, I feel like I should start running again. Then I order Five Guys' Cajun french fries. Enough rambling - this is my fav place to get a quick burger in Philly. It's clean, the service is prompt, you get free peanuts and the fries are absurdly tasty. I come here whenever I'm in the area and have the slightest pangs of hunger.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bistro Romano; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: You know Buca di Beppo? Bistro Romano is Buca's dressed up in old school classy decorations and a price tag to match. But in the end, taste is taste, and Bistro Romano is yet-another-Italian-restaurant. All these other positive reviews are making me wonder if I just ordered the wrong dishes, or if the kitchen was having an off-night. Yes, this is a romantic joint, what with the moody atmosphere and dim candlelit lighting. It has a very polished feel, but there's an intimacy missing from the restaurant. You feel like you're partaking in a "run of the mill dinner" instead of a "dinner experience". I hope that makes sense. With all this said, I can recommend their artichoke hearts appetizer - creamy, papery thin deliciousness. But I doubt I'll be heading back just for that.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Franklin Fountain; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Dripping with character, I'll definitely be coming back to FF. Their ice cream is quality. The pistachio ice cream had whole nuts in it; the rum raisin had raisin - imagine that! Ice cream that's actually what its name says. There's a giant selection of sodas as well, too bad I gave up sodas for Lent... What finally wins me over is the attention to detail and authenticity that oozes from FF. The overhead fans are belt driven (as in you can see the belt twirling them), their telephone is that two-piece deal in the old old movies, the servers are dressed in appropriate garb and the cash register makes all the right clicklity-clacks. Look for a penny embedded in the floor at the entrance - I got a kick out of that. Come back for the real deal when you crave ice cream and sodas.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kabobeesh; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Prepare to be attacked by spicy foods once you open your mouth in this restaurant. The joint is a 60s diner turned Pakistani/Indian food BBQ. You pick your meat, and they grill it immediately in the back. Can't argue with the freshness there. I come here when I'm looking for a filling dinner. Their platters are fairly priced, and the meatball items are savory (but again, have cups of water nearby).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Kim's Oriental Food; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I never ate from a food truck before I came to Philadelphia. What is up with this city's love affair with these sketchy mobile restaurants? But, forced by necessity, for the last many many months, I've made food trucks a lunch time routine. Kim's is one of the best Chinese food trucks in the University City/Penn area. The Lee Anh's (yes, both of the "real" ones) - well to be nice, I just don't know how they're still in business. Oh wait, I do. They sell heavily bastardized American Chinese food that tastebud-less Penn kids seem to love. Kim's is somewhat more authentic, and more tasty. The clientele of Kim's reflects this fact; a lot of the customers are Chinese and Chinese-Americans. The woman who works the counter is very nice too and just got married a couple of months ago. She knows my order by heart. We've gotten to the symbiotic point where she asks if I want hot sauce added even if I forgot to say it. One time I biked off without paying, only remembering a few hours later. She was really cool about it when I returned to pay. What to get? I ate their delicious ginger chicken for a couple of months daily (needlesstosay, I haven't ordered it for a couple of months now either). Their orange chicken is good, as is their BBQ short ribs. Occasionally when I'm feeling unhealthy, I'll indulge with their fried fish platter. I usually add an optional marinated egg to my order.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ed's Buffalo Wings & Pizza; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Working at a university means I often get the benefit (curse?) of being subjected to free pizza or sandwiches at lectures/talks. And so, my first exposure to Ed's was via their delivered pizzas. As far as a West Philly pizzeria goes, I must say, I was impressed with their crust and taste. The cheese is layered on just the right thickness, and the other ingredients, though standard, are liberally applied. All these reasons were why I decided that Ed's deserved my visit today for lunch. The dining area was as expected - run-of-the-mill tables with your standard drinks refrigerators hugging the wall. However, what brought it above the standard pizzeria category were the friendly workers. I'm looking forward to having Ed's pizza again in the future (be it free or paid) and reading these other reviews, will make an effort to try their hot wings.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Jean Madeline Aveda Institute Salon; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I'm being unfair - I've only been there once. But the one time I went dissuaded me from ever going back. Oh sure, my stylist was nice and friendly, and I got the nice massages (I was totally not expecting a hand massage during my appointment), but.... I knew I made a mistake when she started cutting my hair. Okay, so to add another element to my unfairness, I'm male (she said most customers were females) and I'm also Asian American. When she started, she looked at my hair, kind of ran her fingers through it and a look of panic came into her eyes. The uncertainty showed - she was taking off maybe 10 strands of hair with each cut. The torture for both of us ended maybe 10 minutes later. She had maybe removed 100 strands of hair. At this point in the game, she called over her teacher. Her teacher knew what was going on - and went to work on my hair. She had experience, and it showed. Unfortunately, being the teacher, she didn't have much time and I left feeling like my hair had only been half-styled. Lessons learned - nothing strikes more fear into a budding student hair stylist than an Asian American male's hair. However, if you're not me, maybe you should give this place a shot. The price is good, and other Yelpers seem to have had good experiences.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Marigold Kitchen; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I never expected to find a classy BYO here in West Philly right on the edge of University City. Set in a converted Victorian home, the atmosphere is very crisp and at the same time romantic. Tables are spaced out nicely, and the quiet hum of other diners' conversations acts as a nice drone. I came here with a fairly large group (6 people) before, and somehow the experience didn't match up to my past experiences of a two person dinner. I don't think the restaurant lends itself well to groups, so stick with a date. Waiter service at Marigold is attentive. The food portions are what you'd expect at a classy joint, and accordingly meticulously prepared. However, I've found the taste of the dishes to be average. Dessert was blah as well. Bottom line - there's nothing spectacular here in Marigold - except that it's probably the best get-dressed-up, romantic BYO in West Philly. Plop this restaurant in Old City and it would ooze mediocrity.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sephora; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: It's a Sephora, what more can I say? Ok-just a little more. Did you know Sephora's a French-owned company? And that the only reason I put up with being dragged there is their huge selection of Men's cologne? Finally... Girls - Philly is now complete. Guys - birthday and anniversary shopping just got 10x easier.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chabaa Thai Bistro; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Heyo, why the hype for this Thai place Yelp? Located in the always very charming and quaint Manayunk Main street, I'll agree that the atmosphere and flavor of this BYO restaurant can be romantic. This is despite an interior designer who seemed to have attacked the walls with little regard for thematic unity. The two level restaurant was packed on a weekend night; fortunately I had made reservations. The food is creative, and tweaked slightly from the standard Thai fare. But the changes didn't add deliciousness to my experience, and seemed to be "change made for change's sake." It's like Chabaa has the yearning to be a fusion restaurant, but just can't commit to becoming one. Overall, if you're in the area, Chabaa can be a pretty end for a Manayunk adventure, but don't make the trek out there solely for this restaurant. Oh yeah, parking in this area sucks.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: National Mechanics; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: At the Yelp wine tasting, I was wondering where I should go for dinner in Old City, but then realized that I was among Yelpers. George pointed me towards National Mechanics, and my stomach was very glad he did. Beer prices are more than fair, they're cheap! (well, as long as you stick to the local fare) I shared a quasi-light dinner consisting of your standard bar/restaurant food - burger, fries and calamari rings. Although standard, some places do mess a meal like this up; I'm glad to say National Mechanics came out with flying colors. Loved the decor! Plants stuck in jars? Crazy print hanging about the toilet? Random dog statues with colored lightbulbs sticking out of their butts? Yes, please! This place reeks of individuality, in a good way. Sound atmosphere was great too. The high ceilings prevent others' conversations from intruding, but give a nice background drone. I WAS going to take off 1 star, because the service was sort of shoddy. Only 2 servers for a Thursday night didn't cut it. But our server made an effort (she ran by, asking how our meal was and left before our answer; but hey, it's the thought that counts). National Mechanics - oozing with personality, a great place for drinks and groups, and even a date.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nagwon Garden; City: Upper Darby, PA; Review: Authentic Korean restaurant with the usual traditional dishes and the cook-it-yourself BBQ grill. I came here with my Korean friend, and she gave it the Korean stamp of approval (as in it's not bastardized food, watered-down to suit "American" tastes). I've gotten their soondubu (tastes as good as I've had in LA), galbi tang (as advertised and better). Of course, like any good Korean restaurant, they bombard you with side dishes after you've ordered. The side dishes have as much love put into them as the main courses, and are seasoned well. You know how some Korean restaurants don't give these essential side dishes their all? Not true here. Wrapping up the dinner is a free included dessert: a sweet, cold soup. Very cinnamony and topped off with pine nuts. I don't know what it's called, but I've had it before, and Nagwon does it the best. So far, the best Korean food I've found in Philly. I've heard there's better in North Philly, but until I venture out there, Nagwon is my Korean joint. As for transportation, it's probably best to get here with a car. Using SEPTA takes too long, and there's a fair bit of walking involved if you try it (at least using the routes I used).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Miran; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: An O-K Korean food joint. I wasn't so impressed with their soondubu (which is all I've ever gotten the 2 times I've been). Not hearty enough, and it tasted too watered down. I think the only reason their business is decent is that it's located within walking distance of Penn, and all the international kids come here when a hankering arises.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Joy Tsin Lau Chinese Restaurant; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: As a general rule, I used to dislike dim sum. It was a learned avoidance from my adolescent years, where I would suddenly get hungry 2 hours after eating. The gradual pace of many small dishes gives you the illusion of fullness, but in reality, you've probably eaten very little. Still! Since leaving LA, dim sum has become a quasi-comfort food, so I have come to occasionally seek my shrimp and pork laden morsels of fat. I've been here a couple times for dim sum now. It's the standard dim sum fare at Joy. Shao mai, chao shao bao (BBQ pork buns), congee with preserved egg/pork, sesame balls, etc. I could go on, but then I'd get hungry. I wasn't impressed by anything in particular, but there were some items that I'd avoid in the future. The leaf-wrapped sticky rice is terrible here. It's huuuge but only because they stuff it with dry, tasteless pork. The noodles with shrimps wrapped inside are very lacking in shrimp. I will say that the dim sum ladies here are friendlier than your usual surly angriness. For me though, it comes down to the food, and between this place and Ocean Harbor, I'd endure the latter's terrible service to appease my stomach.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Marrakesh; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: What a fun restaurant! However, the food is very overrated by my fellow Yelpers. Like others have written, Marrakesh is a Moroccan restaurant. I can't vouch for the authenticity, as I have never been to Morocco or eaten at any other Moroccan restaurant, for that matter. Supposedly it's now trendy to force your customers to knock at the front door-I just think it's cute. Not necessary, but I won't hate on you for making me do it. As for the dining experience: no utensils, no napkins, very dark, very cozy and on soft padded surfaces. Food is a set 7-course meal. Reading these other Yelp reviews, it sounds like the same 7-course meal is offered every time (with some options for some of the courses). Marrakesh serves a very different ethnic taste. Reminiscing back to the meal, it wasn't spectacular, but the atmosphere coupled with the novelty makes it a worthwhile experience. Yes, the whole chicken dish is tender to the point of meat-falling-off-bones. But it tastes like any other cooked-for-a-long-time-in-sauce chicken. Yes, the shish-kabob is stacked with chunks of meat. But it tastes like something I could have slapped together on my own home grill (and theirs isn't as tasty, to be honest). In summary-come to Marrakesh for the fun, but don't come back for the food. My logic is that if you're using the same 7-course set meal every day for who-knows-how-long, that's not a master chef back there in the kitchen, just a seasoned one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hemo's; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: There's two Hemo's food trucks in the Penn area. There's only one you should go to-the one on Spruce just past the Wawa if you're walking east. The one on Spruce is also run by the original Hemo, so you know he knows what he's doing. Another of my friends swears that he also puts in more chicken. I've never gone wrong with Hemo's grilled chicken sandwich. Make sure you get it with the fried egg, yum. His steaks are good too. Why's it all so tasty? I asked Hemo, and he said it's because he only uses good quality meat for his sandwiches. He might be lying, but my taste buds say he's telling the truth. If you're in the Penn area and need a tasty lunch, hit up Hemo's. Just be careful, if school's in session and it's prime lunch time, you're in for a wait.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Au Bon Pain; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: It's an ABP (the Penn kids abbreviate it like this, I dunno if this is standard East Coast lingo-excuse me in advance). As ABP's go, this location is fairly large and also has a good number of seats. It has what you expect-the bagels, pastries, soups (I'm always down for their pumpkin soup, yum) and made-to-order sandwiches. Being right on the ground floor of the Penn Biomedical Research Building (BRB) makes this joint an occasional (and expensive) lunch for me. The nice part of this ABP location is that the half-off bakery sale starts at 6pm. If you're going to be pipetting until the wee night hours, take a break and pick up some cheap delicious pastries.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Millcreek Tavern; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: For some reason, my Drexel and USP roommates call this place "The Track." Never really figured out why, but hey, when in Rome right? I've come here on occasion for a quick beer fix with friends. It's got two bars, one right on the corner that's huge, and another in the next room that's more intimate. Typical prices, typical beer selection. One of my roommates swears by their hot wings, but I've had better (aka Mad Mex wings -w00t). The bartenders seem like seasoned pros, used to handling the college kids. Every Monday they have all you can drink Yuengling and all you can eat hot wings for $10. The beer flows pretty freely then, but the wings come out like every hour. I've never found this "all you can eat/drink" special a good deal. They also have a karaoke night, where all the tone-deaf boys of this town (myself included) come out to sing badly. This place wouldn't be so bad if they didn't openly flaunt the Philly indoors smoking ban. Now don't get me wrong, I'm down with the cig every once in a while, but I like to be able to choose when I want to be exposed to that stuff. Whenever I come to this college town bar, I'm prepared with the Febreze for the morning after.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Beijing Restaurant; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Came back for lunch on the bossman. The interior is dark and cramped, with waiters awkwardly squeezing by you every few minutes. Some of the tables are too small for the size of the parties they seat. As for food, it's your average bastardized American Chinese food and tastes like what you'd expect. No dishes to rave about but nothing to hate on either.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Ants Pants Café; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Super cute diner, Australian-themed, with delicious and UNIQUE brunch. It won me over from the moment Sufjan Stevens started playing over the sound system. Although portion sizes are not the usual ginormous American brunch amounts, Ants Pants will still fill you up, and do it with style. I would highly recommend their iced coffee, the one with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on the top. This delicious combination seems so simple and obvious in retrospect, but it took Ant Pants' courage to show me the way. AP isn't super cheap, but it is one of my favorite Philadelphia brunch places, especially being located where it is.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cafe Pier One; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Cafe Pier One used to be just two blocks from where I lived, but it still took me a good part of the year to make it out there. Clean decorating style, with the owner being a friendly, if a bit busy, host. Bonus points for the Obama signs posted in her store (haha, don't worry, I'll still focus on the food). Voicing some of the opinions of other Yelpers (@Mike B-lol about the orange potatoes!), Cafe Pier isn't really anything to write home about. The coffee is average, and the food, although generously provided, is also average. There's nothing I discovered that I would highly recommend. In the end though, for West Philly/University City, there's the only other real alternative is the waiting-line party at Rx (no Dorothy, Izzy & Zoe's on 40th doesn't constitute proper brunch), and so Cafe Pier One remains on my short list of brunch/breakfast joints. Remember, cash only.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: New Deck Tavern; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: New Deck remained a UCity staple for me until my final Philly days. The place is always dependable for a good burger, fries and draft beer. Plus those peanuts you get while waiting for a table--delicious, although it does turn New Deck into a peanut allergy sufferer's nightmare come to life. Decor is a tavern, and ambiance is fitting. Noisy, busy, dim and almost intimate. Claims to be the home of Quizzo (here, every Monday and Wednesday night at 10pm), but I'm sure there's controversy about this. It's always fun, but don't expect to ever win. Not only are there those high school quiz bowl nerds that come here to relive their "glory" days, but with iPhones sprouting like alfalfa sprouts, cheaters abound. Come to New Deck to spend happy hour and eat good burgers with friends, especially if you're in the University City area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gateway Arch National Park; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: You can think of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial as the St. Louis Gateway Arch. Definitely worth a visit if you're in St. Louis. The arch is huge, amazing to touch, really cool that humans can build something like this. I read the reviews and opted against taking the elevator up. Had a great time just looking at the arch and relaxing in the park. Car parking was plentiful when I went during a weekday, can't speak for the weekends.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Smokin Bettys; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Cool bar/restaurant next to Jefferson, lots of cool beers on tap, great wait staff and bartenders. No surprise that this place is often frequented by Jeff doctors/nurses/staff after work. Didn't really taste much of the food, but did enjoy the Philly cheesesteak spring rolls and the mac and cheese.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cafe Rose Nicaud; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Relaxed cafe on Frenchman St (in the Marigny neighborhood), serves a solid breakfast (had the biscuit with bacon/egg/cheese) and good coffee. Plenty of airy seating, a nice getaway from the hustle bustle and tourists in the French Quarter. It seemed to be the local neighborhood cafe during our morning there. We had coffee here before our Confederacy of Cruisers NOLA bike tour. Takes credit card (including Amex).; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Acme Oyster House; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Acme is your obligatory tourist restaurant stop. Come here once, get the grilled oysters (which are slightly above average), everything else on the menu was very unremarkable. No line on a Monday afternoon around 2pm (in December 2012). Otherwise, this place is supposed to have long lines especially during tourist season. Eat at Acme once, just to say you've done it, but don't bother coming back.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cafe Beignet on Royal Street; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Cafe Beignet has very average breakfast fare (think uninspired omelets, grits) in a cute cafe environment. There's very colorful decor, garden-feeling tables (complete with live sparrows twittering around, waiting for you to drop crumbs). The beignets were good, albeit not as good as Cafe du Monde. I wouldn't come back to Cafe Beignet in a repeat trip to NOLA.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Liuzza's By The Track; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Liuzza's is a restaurant that was filled with locals - always a good sign! Tasty po-boys. Tasty and meaty gumbo. Their BBQ shrimp po-boy was highly praised by other locals I met; unfortunately this was after I had been there, and I didn't want to schlep myself back just for that. A great restaurant to visit if you're in the neighborhood (think New Orleans Museum of Art or the track). Very fair prices (probably because it's a locals joint and so far from the French).; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: New Orleans City Park; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: NOLA's answer to Central Park. Not nearly as grand or charming, but City Park definitely felt Right for NOLA. Lots of beautiful areas to stroll through, a perfect prelude to the sculpture gardens of the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) and NOMA itself. If you're coming out here for NOMA or Parkway Bakery, make sure you check out City Park.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Felix's Restaurant & Oyster Bar; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Felix is supposed to have the same oyster supplier as Acme (right across the street). It definitely tastes that way. Less of a wait compared to Acme (which is pretty much the only reason to come to Felix). Otherwise, Felix is not a destination restaurant. Word to the wise: if you're expecting any of these oyster establishments in NOLA to feature oysters from the local NOLA farms, you'd be poorly mistaken. The most subdivided oysters get here are: Louisiana oysters. And that's it. None of that hoity toity "what bay on the East Coast is this oyster strain from?" stuff you get in NYC.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Confederacy of Cruisers Bike Tours; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Had a very easy time reserving this tour (did Original Creole tour) with Confederacy of Cruisers via email. Met at the bike tour starting location, our amazing tour guide was Laura. She was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly. My girlfriend and I had a great time biking around NOLA and learning more about the basic history and hitting some of the major themes in NOLA history. There was a pit stop 70% through the tour where we went to Marie's Bar, had a couple Blood Marys and just shot the breeze. My girlfriend and I both learned a lot more about NOLA, gained an understanding for what makes the city and its great people tick. We only wish we had been able to do the tour earlier during our visit to the city. Highly recommend Laura as a tour guide. We both agreed that we'd do this tour again. Just FYI, my girlfriend is a never-biker, and Laura made sure to accomodate her skill level, and the girlfriend had a blast! Confederacy of Cruisers, grade A!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Preservation Hall; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Tourist trap. But you gotta do it if you've never been. $15 a person for a 45 minute set, comprising of old school jazz (think 1910s-1930s). Get there 30 minutes early if you want one of the benches, otherwise it's standing room for you. I understand what Preservation Hall is trying to accomplish, but I just didn't enjoy the overly contrived atmosphere. You gotta do it if you've never been, and especially if you want more old school jazz. Cash only, no bathroom (use the one next door at Pat O'Brien's).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: W New Orleans - French Quarter; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Not sure about the bad reviews but, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the W New Orleans. Have stayed at some of the other Ws, and felt this one was on par. Clean, trendy-decorated room, modern bathroom, very personable and responsive service. I took the Acura service for the first time ever, found it very easy to book and it was on time and ready to go. In the end, W New Orleans was a great place to stay during a pleasure visit to New Orleans, well located in the French Quarter (nicely located on a quiet street), and I would definitely consider staying here again if I went back to NOLA.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Hotel Modern; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Booked the Hotel Modern on Hotel Tonight at a very fair price. Located on Lee Circle. A great hotel to be based at to get out of the French Quarter and to explore other parts of New Orleans (including the excellent restaurant Cochon, very close by via walking). Why only 3 stars? A somewhat cramped room, smaller shower, everything was clean. Somewhat aloof and brusque service at the front desk. I only stayed there for 1 night, so didn't have to deal with the stealing mentioned by the other Yelp reviewers.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cochon; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Cochon was the best fancy restaurant in NOLA during my 4 day visit. (The best informal restaurant was Coop's). Trendy modern feel, on par with the most recent NYC restaurants, I'd highly recommend you visit Cochon for a dinner if you're in New Orleans. Make reservations, this place was booked even on a Wednesday night. Some of the notable dishes: wood-roasted oysters, pork cheeks and an unique take on gumbo. I wasn't as blown away by the fried alligator as other Yelpers were, but it was tasty and definitely an experience you won't be able to have in other parts of the country. Service was somewhat splotchy and inconsistent, but the food made up for it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Maries Bar; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Marie's is your quintessential neighborhood dive bar. We stopped here on a Confederacy of Cruisers' bike tour, and the bartender was just the nicest woman ever. But best of all, she made one of the tastiest and booziest Bloody Mary's I've ever had. If you're in the area, stop by for a drink, you won't go wrong, and your wallet will be happy as you will be.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bellocq; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: The only reason I ended up at Bellocq is that I was staying in the connected hotel (The Modern). Turns out I lucked out, because a great bartender at Bellocq (I believe her name was Kim) drove home the point that New Orleans is a cocktail city (and definitely not a beer city). Some of the drinks, including Dodgy Frog, a brillant gin fizz and a tasty Sriracha-based Bloody Mary were a great bookend to my New Orleans jaunt. Dimly light, romantic and classy atmosphere. If you're nearby, Bellocq is definitely a great bar to grab a cocktail (though I can't speak as highly of staying a night in the Hotel Modern.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Coop's Place; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Coop's FRIED CHICKEN. I don't know why no one mentioned Coop's Place to me when I mentioned I was coming to New Orleans, but every New Orleans local I met spoke praises of Coop's. I'd say that Coop's is a destination restaurant. Not only is the fried chicken delicious, but everything else (including the gumbo) was super tasty. The locals come here, meaning reasonable prices. Just realize this is a more dive bar joint, so you'll get give dive bar service. Takes credit card (including Amex). Coop's is a destination restaurant in New Orleans, I'd highly recommend a visit. Easily one of the top food joints in the touristy French Quarter.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: French Market; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Kitschy "flea market" in New Orleans, mentioned as a necessary tourist stop in many of the books I referred to. But I'd say that you don't need to visit the French Market, there's very little in the way of unique souvenirs or even tasty food that you can't find in other better shops in the French Quarter. Come walk through if it's on the way, but don't bother making this an essential visit in your New Orleans adventure.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Saint Louis Cathedral is a nice cathedral, small, nowhere near the gloriousness of European cathedrals, but it's got a nice New Orleans charm. Worth a visit during your French Quarter explorations, plan to spend a maximum of 15 minutes here.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: E2 Airport Route Jefferson Transit; City: Kenner, LA; Review: So glad I took the E2 Airport Bus. It's clean, it's safe, it's relatively quick. If you're traveling during the weekdays and during normal business hours (check the online bus schedules to make sure), there is no reason why you shouldn't take the E2. It took maybe 45 minutes to get into downtown; sure, it was a little longer than the 15 minutes via cab, but $2 versus $33 is a no brainer. Drops you off near the central business district, then it's a pleasant 15 minute walk to the French Quarter.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Jester Mardi Gras Daiquiris; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: It's the trashiness you'd associate with Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Their signature drink is the Jester (laced with 151). My friend told me to make sure I got a Jester when I came. It's $9 for a drink that packs quite a nice kick. You get what you pay for, and maybe a little bit more!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mr. B's Bistro; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: 3.5 stars. Mr B's has a very strong touristy feel to it, albeit a classy tourist feel. I'm not even sure how many locals were present. Efficient and pleasant service, fairly unmemorable dishes. At the end of the day, Mr B's Bistro gave a solid, overpriced meal. I wouldn't say it's a great meal or a restaurant I'd seek out if I came back to New Orleans.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: New Orleans Museum of Art; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) is a museum that punches way above its weight class, especially its sculpture garden. This museum, located in the very nice City Park, had a a great special exhibit "Lifelike" when I visited, which has been one of the best exhibits I've ever experienced. As for the remainder of NOMA, the permanent contemporary arts section is well collected and laid-out. Wednesdays have free admission for everyone. NOMA is worth your time if you're itching to get out of the French Quarter.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fair Grinds Coffee House; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Fair Grinds is a nIce relaxed coffee shop, somewhat near the New Orleans Museum of Art. College-town coffee shop feel, had younger students and young professionals when I visited. Quiet, personal environment, perfect for reading your pleasure book or bringing your laptop to study for a bit. No complaints about the coffee. Sit inside to avoid the smokers.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Prince's Hot Chicken Shack; City: Nashville, TN; Review: Gah, I was so disappointed by Prince's Hot Chicken. Admittedly I had high hopes given the hype (Bourdain, Master of None, social media buzz), so it was probably hard for Prince's to meet expectations. Regardless, the wait was long (1 hour plus after ordering), the chicken was over-breaded, and it wasn't even that tasty. I've had better fried chicken and better spicy fried chicken in New Orleans and Baltimore. Cramped seating in a barely air conditioned restaurant, don't come here with a big group. Prince's is not worth your time, and might not even be worth your money.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: La Colombe Coffee; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: What a beautiful location to put a coffeeshop, and having it be a La Colombe is the cherry on top. This spot has a gorgeous view of City Hall, is well lit and spacious. You can usually eke out a place to sit. Great way to spend a morning or afternoon reading or working. It can get a bit chilly near the windows during the winter, but nothing a jacket can't fix. Friendly and efficient baristas at this location too!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | yelp |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Hotel Due Torri; City: Rome Lazio; Review: We were in Rome for a week in mid-March, and stayed at Hotel Due Torri the entire time. Having been to Rome before, we knew we wanted to be in the center of the city and near enough to walk to some places or at least close to the bus stops. We got that and more. Recommended by Rick Steves guide, we were pleasantly surprised at the caliber of the service from the staff and the location was better than we expected. We knew the room would be small from descriptions, but it was clean with an updated bathroom and a comfortable bed. Really this is all we need while in Rome because we aren't in our room much. Breakfast was great and included in the price of our room and we were graciously greeted by the owner on several mornings for a quick chat and impromptu Italian lesson! We were provided with recommendations for dinner and both times had a great experience. We were able to access WiFi in our room which was very convenient. You can't beat the location for the price. Minutes to the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, great restaurants, and bus stops. We are planning our next trip to Italy and our stay in Rome will definitely be at Hotel Due Torri. We highly recommend this hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Umbra; City: Assisi Province of Perugia Umbria; Review: We were only in Assisi one night and stayed at Hotel Umbra based on Rick Steves' recommendation. It is a charming hotel and our room was lovely. The hotel is right off the main Piazza Commune and we were warmly welcomed by every staff member. The room was spacious and both the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. There was a mini frig in the room (and the cold beverage was very welcome on a warm afternoon), a beautiful outdoor terrace with amazing views, and free WiFi. The restaurant was closed that day but we were given a wonderful restaurant recommendation which ended the day on a perfect note. Breakfast is included but my only complaint is that it was the first time in Italy I had a bad cup of coffee. Perhaps trying to appease Americans, they served coffee in a large carafe like you would see at a conference event site in the U.S. I missed the typical cappuccino or espresso, but the food itself was very nice. We would definitely return for an extended stay and recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced hotel that is in the center of the city.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Helvetia; City: Sestri Levante Italian Riviera Liguria; Review: We splurged and spent a night at Hotel Helvetia after a week long tour of Cinque Terre. Recommended by Rick Steves, we needed some pampering and rest and received it in spades. The hotel is beautiful, the service exceptional, and the location is stunning. It is a bit pricey but we will never regret it. We enjoyed a lovely meal on the terrace when we arrived and while our room was prepared. There are plenty of comfortable places to sit in the sun or take a dip in the small pool. There are several beaches nearby. We asked for (and paid for) a room with a view which was a bit misleading. It had a view of the bay but also the outdoor dining area so if we opted for the screen to be up, we had no privacy. For 1 night it was ok but if you are staying longer, ask for a room on a higher floor. It is a marvelous place, well run, and earns its price!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Milano; City: Pisa Province of Pisa Tuscany; Review: We spent 3 nights at Hotel Milano and used it at the beginning and end of our tour through Cinque Terre. It is a simple Hotel without bells and whistles but is exactly what we needed for a few nights. Comfortable, air conditioning and clean with helpful owner Giada at the front desk. You can literally see the hotel sign as you exit the train station, a very convenient thing on a hot summer afternoon arrival. Giada is very sweet and friendly, it's a great location, and so reasonable. We learned of this hotel through Rick Steves (who never lets us down) and highly recommend it for any weary travelers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casa Ambra; City: Cortona Province of Arezzo Tuscany; Review: We had friends who had stayed here before and recommended it to us. I'm so glad they did. It is a charming place run by family. Very reasonable prices, right around the corner from the main piazza and service that was top notch. Super comfortable bed and modern shower, free WiFi (not so good in the room but great out in the common area), and a lovely breakfast. We would definitely stay again. There are apartments available but we were in a bedroom which suited us fine since it was a short trip. The family also owns a hotel literally across the street that looks a little pricier. One caution...as with many things in Italy and in particular Cortona, there are some stairs to climb to get to your room! There might be an elevator in the hotel across the street (La Corte. ) It would be worth checking out because the family is simply awesome and will make your trip a highlight.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Seaview; City: Southport Merseyside England; Review: What can one say. I thought it was good when Sue used to run the Seaview, but now Alex and Mike have excelled. Nothing is too much for them. The house is spotless and first class. We have been staying here for the last 15 years every May when our conference comes around. Best location ever and the prices give entremely excellent value. I doubt you'll find better in Southport; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Marian Apartments; City: Sant Antoni de Portmany Ibiza Balearic Islands; Review: You get what you pay for..... The apartments are clean, towels and sheets changed 3/4 times a week and floors mopped. Big godsend having aircon. Kitchen had limited tools and plates etc., but then who is going to Ibiza to cook. It did have a big fridge and freezer that again was great for your drinks. The place itself is OK, music starts about 10am and stops about 12 midnight. The stairwells echo like nothing else so when everyone comes in at 5-6 in the morning, it is noisy. If you are a young group they will take a deposit off of you... so beware. About 10 mins walk to the top of the street where all the bars are, 20 minutes to get to the boat taxi to take you to a natural beach at Playa Pinta...... Much nicer there. I'm sure you could quite easily find a better apartment and eal doing it yourself as there are hundreds. But overall well run place, clean and friendly. Best bit was the fact that we didn't have to eat there and found some fantastic restuarants. Recommend... Restuarant Pepe Caribe for Tapas 36 euros, Grill Sant Antoni for amazing steaks 59 euros. meals fro 2 people with starters and bottle of nice wine. You can either mak it an epensive trip or shop around and eat and drink very cheaply. We found you could get a small beer for 1 euro and english breakfast for 2.50 euros. Enjoy; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel; City: Hollingbourne Kent England; Review: Having good a good deal on a double room (£55 of booking.com) we were warmly greeted at reception. We did have to complete all our details again which was a bit teadious. The room was a good size and it was a huge double bed.... Or 2 put together to be fair, but it was very comfortable and very clean.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Seaview; City: Southport Merseyside England; Review: Back again for our conference week and only 1 place to stay, The Seaview. Mike and Alex make you so welcome and nothing is too small for them to do for you. The rooms and light, airy and clean. And breakfast....... Fantastic. Thanks again for a fabulous week. See you again soon. It's location is second to none for us that stay there. 100 yards from the conference centre and 200 yards from the wiedest pub....... But that is something else. Excellent stay, thank you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Seaview; City: Southport Merseyside England; Review: Back again at the Seaview. Mike and Alex have to continued to make our stay as comfortable as you would wish. Each room that we booked as they were 6 of us, was beautifully appointed, and comfortable beyond belief. They are fantastic hosts and you will not get a better breakfast anywhere. The Seaview is absolutely spotless as each room. It is like going and staying with friends. Thank you Mike and Alex for making us feel so welcome. See you next year.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Stansted Great Dunmow; City: Great Dunmow Essex England; Review: Newly revamp travelodge at Great Dunmow is comfortable, bright and clean and fresh. A great stay.

Title: The Station Hotel; City: Perth Perth and Kinross Scotland; Review: On way to whisky festival in Dufftown and stayed at Station Hotel. Lovely hotel, and steeped in a bygone age when railways were the new age. This hotel is big, airy and clean. The staff are very polite and helpful....... Rooms are ok, nothing special to be fair, but clean and acceptable for an old style, large hotel. Would recommend this as it is very comfortable and friendly.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Brudenell Hotel; City: Aldeburgh Suffolk East Anglia England; Review: Had the most wonderful meal here last night. Specialising in seafood which was fresh, cooked superbly and presented so well. Food good, wine excellent, the whole experience was superb and Simon looked after us. Cannot fault the place. Fantastic. The hotel itself is very clean, bright and fresh looking, giving a total experience that needs to be experienced by all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Seaview; City: Southport Merseyside England; Review: It is like returning home. The Seaview is so comfortable and welcoming it is just like home. Nothing is too much trouble for Mike and Alex and the rooms are always so clean and tidy. The hotel is so well situated for town and conference centre and such a reasonable price, but with Mike and Alex's hospitality, I would not stay anywhere else. Plus have booked for next year as where.......; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Apartamentos Pyr Fuengirola; City: Fuengirola Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: Stayed here for 5 days and very reasonably priced. Had an apartment on 10th floor so had a great view of the harbour and overlooking Fuengirola towards the hills. Apartment was clean large and roomy. Maids cleaned everyday and changed towels and sheets twice a week. Centrally placed ideal location. Would recommend this. Cost €200.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Manor Farm MK; City: Milton Keynes Buckinghamshire England; Review: Was visiting Bletchley Park and was looking for somewhere to stay and the prices of hotels were ridiculous. Then I saw these cottage apartments just a few miles down the road . . . All I can say is WOW. The accommodation was so clean and well decorated that it was like something out of a glossy mag. Everything that you needed was there. Such thought had gone into the cottage. I was very impressed. The bed was so comfortable I had the best nights sleep for ages. Then there was Amanda who's help in finding somewhere to eat was spot on. A fantastic place, would recommend this to anyone. Thanks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Magnolia House Bed and Breakfast; City: Royston Hertfordshire England; Review: We stayed at Magnolia House by chance and what a choice we made. Sue is so accommodating and helpful, she was an absolute star. Our room was spotless, bright and so very comfortable..... The bed was a dream to sleep in, absolute comfort. The breakfast although not included in the room rate was spot on and more than enough for even the biggest eater, and excellent quality. I cannot recommend Sue and her bed and breakfast highly enough. For me it was worth 6 stars. Thank you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Randolph Hotel; City: Southwold Suffolk East Anglia England; Review: What a great weekend..... This hotel is the nuts, from the rustic flooring and bar area to the superb meal, fantastic breakfast and wonderful rooms. But the staff..... They just smash it. Bradley was a star. Top barman. Knew his stuff, great memory for people drinks and a genuine person. The hotel is well maintained, well decorated and I'd definitely stay there, every time I go to Southwold. Thanks to all of you for making our weekend so special.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: EVO GP-PRO 3 Axis GoPro Gimbal for Hero4, Hero5, Hero6 or Hero7 Black, Garmin Virb Ultra30, Yi 4K+; Brand: EVO Gimbals; Review: I really like Evo Gimbals - I own two now and they work great. There were some complaints about the GoPro picking up noise from the Evo motors - this is true... but if you are using the GoPro to record sound you shouldnt expect great sound quality anyways. Use something else to capture audio. I had to order a separate cable $15 to extend power to the GoPro but I think this is well worth it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Anyone Can Cook DVD Edition: Step-by-Step Recipes Just for You (Better Homes and Gardens Cooking); Author: Visit Amazon's Better Homes and Gardens Page; Review: As someone who has been cooking on their own for years, I was concerned this book would be strictly for a true novice. I am happy to report that I was mistaken. Although I would contend that this book would make an excellent high school graduation gift for a young person first leaving home, or a great bridal shower gift for the new, inexperienced bride (or groom, I suppose), this book contains recipes with a depth enjoyed by even those who would considered themselves well seasoned, in manning the stove. I found the tips, whether they be on cooking utensils, or how to prepare ingredients, interesting enough for a veteren, yet easy enough for even the most inexperienced chef-in-training. The recipes ranged in difficulty from very easy to moderately difficult without being boring in the least. The recipes herein, despite their ease, would make a proud presentation on any dinner table. From breakfast to after dinner cocktails, this book covers it all in an easy to digest format. Truly, Anyone Can Cook!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Just a few steps from Hounslow Central Underground Station. Then a quick ride on the tube in morning to Heathrow after a great breakfast.

Title: Candlewood Suites Wake Forest Raleigh Area Hotel; City: Wake Forest North Carolina; Review: I recently stayed at this hotel for 4 nights to attend a development meeting. As someone who works in the event industry, I really appreciated the friendliness and tone of the staff. They go out of their way to make people feel comfortable and at home. After all, this is an extended stay facility. They were accommodating to my requests, printed out maps for me, made calls on my behalf without being asked. While they don't have a restaurant on property, there is a "canteen" on site and restaurants, drug store, target and staples are in walking distance. It's a clean, friendly hotel with mini kitchen facilities. It was a an easy drive to the location. Overall a delightful experience. Looking forward to being back in December.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: South Point Hotel Casino and Spa; City: Las Vegas Nevada; Review: I travel to Las Vegas about 3 or 4 times a year. I try to "bookend" my business trip before and after the meeting at SouthPoint hotel. It's so convenient with shuttle to airport; large clean rooms to stay in; frequent bus to the Las Vegas "strip"; walking distance to the convenience store and nail salon. They have a day spa I like to buy a day pass to relax from my meetings and use their facilities. I like the movie theater and bingo. The only parts I don't like is that you have to walk through the casino to get to your hotel room and it's very smokey. The garden buffet isn't on my favorite list but I do enjoy the Japanese restaurant. I've been staying there since they opened. I'm sorry to say they've added a "resort" fee of $14.99 per day for things that used to be free. I'd rather see them raise the rate than have that fee. Doesn't seem worth it. But the rest of the experience has me come back. It's my resbit from the business part of the trip.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

One is a light silver/gray, while the other is much darker, with two differently distinct patterns. The differences between the two are enough that they will have to be sent back.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: 11x14 3" deep Reclaimed Rustic Barn Wood Collectible Shadow Box; Brand: Rustic Decor; Review: Beautiful box, well made. It is natural wood, full of personality with the grain and the knots. It is large enough to hold all of your favorite items (I added a Willow Tree figurine in mine). The construction is sturdy, there is a heavy backing. It's a beautiful piece.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Instant Pot LUX50 v2 6-in-1 Programmable Pressure Cooker, 5Qt/900W, (Discontinued); Brand: Instant Pot; Review: Ok, so I've only used it once, but wow! am I impressed! We started with cooking a pork roast in it for bbq pulled pork, and it was done in less than forty minutes (usually eight hours in the crockpot). It's easy to use, tons of options, and I felt safe using it with all of the safety features. I did dig around a bit on YouTube (it makes some noise when the steam is released) and found some helpful tips and recipes to try. I also love that it had a saut feature so you can sear meat or vegetables in one pot before cooking. I can't wait to try out all of the options.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Big Dot of Happiness Adult 50th Birthday - Gold - Birthday Party Photo Booth Props Kit - 20 Count; Brand: Big Dot of Happiness; Review: We ordered these for a surprise 50th birthday party. They come ready to use and really are adorable. There is a nice selection of different objects, and they are bright and really do pop in the photos. The downside - they are super flimsy. I'm not sure they would have made it through 1, maybe 2 events. I ended up gluing then to card stock and using a razor to cut around them. I also hot glued the sticks on, as the small clear dots were not enough to hold them in place. Overall, they were a huge hit. For the money, the quality really lacked.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Crystal Allies Gallery: Natural Himalayan Salt Wire Mesh Basket Cylinder Lamp with; Brand: Crystal Allies; Review: It's a very pretty lamp and we loved the ambience it provided in the room. There's a dial, so you can brighten or dim it. It's not super bright, but adds a nice touch to the room. I had hoped to find some benefit that I'd read about - feeling better, especially with allergies. Unfortunately I never noticed an improvement. It's been on almost non-stop since January, next to the place I sit in the evenings. I'm still needing allergy meds once or twice daily. I even tried shuffling the salt chunks around as suggested in other reviews with no impact noticed. The light bulb also burned out after a few months (granted, I left it on all the time). The light bulb is screwed into the lamp, and I've still not tackled changing it. All in all, it's a beautiful lamp. Unfortunately I didn't notice any health benefits, and the bulb lasted a few months.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Tervis Goldfish Water Bottle with Lid, 24 oz, Clear; Brand: Tervis; Review: I love the Tervis brand. It always keeps my drinks cold, even after sitting in the warm car or at my office desk for the day. I am also a straw drinker. So while this bottle was adorable, I was also hesitant. I'm happy I decided to give it a try. It's taller and more narrow than the Tervis tumblers, making it easier to tote around in a work bag. The handle at the top has also made it a breeze to carry. The top screws on, and I've had no problems with it after several days of heavy use. The opening is more narrow than others I've seen, so I haven't dumped anything on myself yet. You can tuck a Tervis straw in there, but the top won't close with it on. (I haven't used the straw but was curious as to the fit.) Then there's the design. The fish are awesome! It's quite realistic and has been noticed by kids and adults alike who have to make a double take to see if it's real. This has been a great purchase!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crock-Pot 6-Quart WeMo-Enabled Smart Slow Cooker, Stainless Steel; Brand: Crock-Pot; Review: My husband purchased this for me after I asked for it. I work long hours and the idea of being able to change settings from a phone app was appealing. Overall, it makes a great crockpot. It cooks evenly and smoothly and easy to turn on. Unfortunately, I have only been able to connect to the crockpot when I am also connected to my home Wi-Fi network. I can change the cooktime on the crockpot from my phone while sitting on my couch, but I cannot connect once I leave the house, which defeats the purpose of why we purchased it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Fred UNZIPPED Hand-Blown Glass Bowl; Brand: Fred & Friends; Review: We love this little bowl!! It is perfect for jelly beans or nuts or similar snacks. The width is enough to allow your hand to fit in and grab what you need. It is delicate yet firm. We keep ours on the desk filled with colorful treats.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tervis Tumbler, Palm Ok 3 Palms Ast (Set of 4), 16 oz, Clear; Brand: Tervis; Review: Tervis makes great products, and this one is no different. This pattern is also especially fun when drinking water, as it looks as though the fish are actually swimming in your glass.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Tagoro Family Fun Costa Adeje; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: When we arrived at the villa togoro we did not know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised!! When checking in the reception staff were very friendly and had prepared us some food in a box as we arrived late due to plane being delayed. Some bottled water orange juice bread rolls some ham cheese etc, nice thought. I had asked for a high up apartment and that is what we got. Great views from the balcony over the pool with large sitting room , bedroom bathroom ets also a great big fridge freezer!!. Good points to include are definitely the free drinks there great! I know lager and the beer was lovely , ice cold not watered down at all. Local spirits loads to choose from , cocktail menu , all proper fizzy drinks coca cola sprite fanta lemon and orange etc also slush puppies for the kids!!. Bar service very good no waiting served almost straight away. Food we found to be great can,t understand why anyone would give the food a bad review. Lovely breakfasts with fresh bread ,english baked beans omelletes made fresh in front of you to order. Bacon sausages cereals fresh fruit etc etc, lunch was really good too loads of piella fresh fish salad etc. Dinner we found to be different every night maybe a couple of things might pop up a couple of times but very nice freshly cooked in frount of you. A couple of different meats were available each nite included, tuna steaks, sword fish , king prawns , mussles , chicken fillets , steaks , salads etc etc. Ice creams and cakes for desert. Pool is nice and heated very relaxing loads of sun loungers available and free use of sauna which i though was brilliant. Courtesy bus runs six times a day and is quite reliable once it did not turn up so we had to share a taxi back with a couple of unhappy germans oh well it was only 3 euros each. You can walk to the beach in about 15 mins but the roads down might be unsuitabe for young families as the roads you have to cross are busy main intersections coming off the main highway!! Not a problem for me and my girlfriend. Another note is there is Gran Sur shopping centre literally 1 minute walk from the hotel and loads of buses stop there taking you to the centre of los christianos and player de las americas every 15 mins for about 1.30 euro. We enjoyed the walk along the coast it was very pleasant in the brilliant weather we had. Siam park is about 7 euros in a taxi from the hotel but we walked back and it only took 15-20 mins max!!. Right okay now a couple of not so good points but dont let this put you off!! The beds are pretty hard and do take a bit of getting used to but we slept okay overall ,another thing is the air conditioning its pretty pointless its not really worth; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Bright; City: New Delhi National Capital Territory of Delhi; Review: Okay expensive for what you get, room small, strange entrance to hotel! Reception try to book trips and taxis through them at treble the price!!!! Okay food average! Eat in room on lap bit weird!! Location is hectic and connaught place is very expensive ! We paid 10 pound for two beers in a local bar probably ripped us off but it's what they do to tourist!! Get hassled and the big sell from loads of Indians trying to get money from you!! Typical hi my friend where are you from what is your name!! Just ignore them!! We just wanted to visit the Taj Mahal and get the hell out of there!! Goa is great much nicer !!!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: St Giles London; City: London England; Review: This hotel is old and desperately in need of updating they charge you to use the pool even though you are stayin there !! There is hardly anyone who speaks english there , so it feel like your in a foreign country! Staff are rude and the cleaners especially the men look very shifty, I was worried about leaving valuables in the room especially as the safe did not work properly which I had to get a staff member to come to the room to tell me this ! No offer of changing room!! The breakfast is okay apart from a massive queue which you can wait half an hour to access the buffet breakfast!! Upon leaving the hotel I realised I had left my expensive north face jacket and two t shirts in the wardrobe I phoned them an hour later from heathrowe airport to ask if they could retrieve them and send them on to me!! Surprise surprise the t shirts were still there but my 200 pound north face winter coat was no where to be seen!! I am 100% in no doubt that the jacket was in the wardrobe someone a member of staff or security has stolen it I am very angry very annoyed do not stay at this hotel it's not worth the risk'n after countless telephone calls and askin if they can send me an email they just hushed it under the carpet and told me I can get the police involved if I want!! Disgusted; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Christchurch YMCA; City: Christchurch Canterbury Region South Island; Review: This so called hostel is more like a hotel with some dorms inside , the place itself is located very close to the park and museum which is worth a visit, however the nearest supermarket is a good 20 minute walk away and the kitchen facilities at the YMCA are rubbish. A tiny kitchen to cater for hundreds of people which is always rammed at meal times, two fridges crammed full of stuff theres never hardley any room for your stuff, dont do a big shop trust me!! my ,mum and dads kitchen is bigger!! as for the facilities the internet is 5 dollars for 24 hours which apparentley when you purchase it, it starts from then, so as i didnt go to use mine till the next day it was gone!! the reception never informed me of this , normally as i thought its 24 hours from when you first log in , what a rip off, i told the reception i want a replacement she basically said tough you will have to pay another five dollars with a smirk on her face , YES thanks very much. The lounge areas on the floor are sort of open plan off the corridor so if like me you are next to the lounge you can hear everything going on outside.The beds are very soft and springy which was really bad for my bad back, The ymca has a restaurant attached which is very expensive, a bowl of chips is 9.50, soup and a roll 12 dollars?? there are no bars very near to the hostel either which is a total dissapointment, the reception staff seem to take ages checkin people in and i cant understand why? maybe they have a very fangled organised system in place but no this is not the case, If you ever go to reception most of the time your waiting ages to speak to someone. My friend had to check into a different hostel because they said they were fully booked but i was in the same room as him and that night there were 3 beds spare?? dont stay here ive seen the inside of the jail hostel and it looks way better stay there if i was you. YMCA was a bad experience and overpriced. The only thing i will say the cleaning ladys are nice and seem to work very hard, the hostel is clean.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Yha Lake Tekapo; City: Lake Tekapo Mackenzie District Canterbury Region South Island; Review: This is the third time i have stayed at this hostel and its a great place to stay in lake tekapo with amazing views over the lake. Star gazing is amazing here with the gardens to sit out at night and look up into the sky. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen is great for preparing meals with all the pots ,pans , utensils you could need. The hostel is always kept very clean and tidy and the internet is free and very fast which is great. The staff are very friendly and informative about the local area , well done to billy and his team of workers for doing such a great job, i would highly recommend this hostel!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Moon Crossed (Sky Brooks World) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Emerson Knight Page; Review: **I received a gifted copy of the book an am voluntarily choosing to leave an honest and unbiased review** Having already loved the original series from Sky's POV I was extremely excited when I found out that there was going to be a series from Ethan's POV. There is so much about Ethan that we don't know - his motives behind his actions and the hurtful yet honest things he says - mostly to Sky. . . I had high expectations for this book and for the author who would be filling some pretty big shoes, but I wasn't worried at all with this one and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. I was at no point disappointed with what Emerson had written and he expertly provided us a gentler and different side to Ethan while still keeping to his usual a**hatness that is typical of the beta wolf. I loved seeing his interactions with his brother Josh from his point of view and yeah you know he loves his brother and would go to hell and back for him and that was evident in Sky's POV, but you get a deeper understanding of his love and the things he's willing to do. His relationship with Sebastian and the amount of things he doesn't necessarily agree with surprised me, especially the second time Sky pulled the Houdini act. But most importantly, I loved seeing his relationship with Sky from his perspective, what he thought about her, and how it grew to the infamous kiss and his feelings for her along with his reasoning behind not wanting her part of the pack. I actually love him more because of this book. I am highly anticipating the next one - even though book 2 is the one I like the least because of what happens between him and Chris, I didn't like when they came back into each others lives again. . . I am really wanting to know how it's going to be written and the logic behind him getting down and dirty with his ex-girlfriend again with the way he feels about Sky. The book was extremely well written and I can't imagine what it must be like to write a book not being as connected to the characters and the story as much as the original author. His own writing style(?) worked well with McKenzie's and I noticed that some of the same language was used, which was nice to read. I felt that while you did get a sense that you were reading from a completely different character, it didn't make you feel that you were reading a completely different book of a completely different series altogether. I still felt connected to the original which was great for me....if any of that makes sense. All in all, Emerson did a fantastic job and I can't wait to read the rest of the series from Ethan's POV; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dark Wish (The Starlight Gods Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Yumoyori Wilson Page; Review: This story is one of the best books I have read this year. First, Yumoyori provides us with a story that is unique and refreshing. The idea of various worlds and spirits inhabiting people given to them by a deities, the Starlight Gods. When the people possess various spirits they are able to shift into those particular spirits - this is completely new take on shifters that isn't just reserved to the usual shifting creatures like wolves, panthers and dragons but includes demons and angels. The story is incredibly well written and I was experiencing all the feelings reading this book. I was angry, sad, happy and at multiple times, I laughed out loud at Makoto and the way she acted in a certain situation or some of her "inner monologues" The characters within this book are incredibly well developed, especially the FMC Makoto. She is a perfect mixture of naive, innocent, strong and vulnerable and she acts the way that one would in her situation. I am loving the multiple spirits she has and the internal conversations she has with them. I love every single one of them, especially Rose. I especially love how her inner monologue is mostly spoken out loud, I find that pretty damn realistic considering she has four people inside her head. I also love that her angel isn't all goody goody, which angels are mostly always portrayed to be. That she can have a mischievous and devilish side. It is wonderful to read when she gets like this. Her knights in shining armour (not literally, but they are called knights) are. . . There are no words to describe just how wonderful they are. I love how accepting they are of her little quirks, quirks other people would usually push her away for. The knights are absolutely hot as and I love every single one of them, but Ryder and Elias, who are my favourite. I also love the other secondary characters in this book, her professor, Matthew, Karen and Eli. They are all fantastic characters and again, are very accommodating and accepting of Makoto and I love that, they treat her like a person and doesn't treat her any differently. This is such a perfect start to the series and the book ends feeding you all the feels. I was not expecting it to end the way it did and still reeling from it. I'm very interested to know what direction the story is going to go and where Yumoroi is going to take us. I could literally gush about this book all day, it is such a fantastic read and she has done a brilliant job for her first book. I will continue to read her books and am hanging for the second book. If you want a book that will make you feel them feels and is highly enjoyable, then I recommend this book, you won't be disappointed one bit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Vixen's Lead (Kit Davenport) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Tate James Page; Review: I don't even know where to start with this book. How do I begin to express how much I love this book and how it's one of the best books I have read this year. The story is simply amazing, Tate has done an amazing job of creating bringing the fantasy aspect of the book and placing it in a realistic setting. Kit is a thief, but not the kind of thief you normally get. She runs these thefts with her best friend Lucy. As the story moves along you find out the reason why she is a thief and a nice little twist is given at the end which puts the whole, her being a little thief, into perspective. I loved the little twist and she did such a brilliant job of it too. I loved her fresh take on the thief story, the supernatural world and the agency hunting down an elusive criminal aspect. The story gripped me by the shoulders and pulled me deep into it's world, taking me for a wild ride. I was so upset when it ended. The progression is written so well and new layers keep on being added to the story which just adds to the overall magnificence of this book and is done so seamlessly. The whole story flowed so well, even with the secondary characters that you wouldn't think would have much to do with the story, BAM! Tate hits you with something new and you're like woooah. I love Kit, she is feisty, sarcastic, strong (especially for someone who has experienced everything that she has), loving and would die for her friends. You can see a little bit of Kit in yourself and I believe it to be so important in a FMC. You want to be able to see yourself or others you know in them, it makes them believable and relatable. I laughed out loud at some of the things that she said and especially love her interactions with Austin. I just wish they would just do it already and let go of the obvious sexual tension hahaha. Lucy is - I want her to be my best friend. She is wonderful and the mouth on her! Love it, she's feisty as shit and it is just spectacular. The only upsetting thing though, is that she wasn't in the book enough. I want more of Lucy, I want a spinoff with her actually. She is so delightfully......Well she's just an amazing character!!! The guys - one of the best things about an RH book hehe. What can I say, I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. . . Even Austin. I am though, very drawn to River - okay it may be the whole British thing and the fact that he wears suits. . . mmmmmm. . . . . . Okay I'm back!.... Anyway, I love how he can be authoritative without being a d*** and so tender and caring as well. I also have a very soft spot for Wesley. OMG the adorable little nerd. . .; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Winter Princess: A reverse harem novel (Daughter of Winter); Author: Visit Amazon's Skye MacKinnon Page; Review: Winter Princess is a wonderful story full of sexiness, action and some heartwarming moments. The story follows Wynter as she journeys to her mothers realm. She is escorted there by some very sexy men. Skye does a magnificent job at combining fantasy and reality - making everything seem believable. There is never a dull moment, even when there is no intimate moments or action going on, she keeps your attention solely focused on the book. I am totally in love with Wynter who is sassy, feisty and such a wonderful and down to earth character and her men who are hot as hell. This is such a beautiful story. The only thing I didn't like was that it ended and that I have to wait until the next book is released =o ( I highly recommend this book to anyone who is currently in a book slump or just want an excellent book to read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Heart of Time (Ruined Heart Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Skye MacKinnon Page; Review: I was instantly drawn to the story from the prologue. I loved the backstory into how Eona was born and her life before the circus. I was absolutely devastated for her mother and what she had done. I actually became teary. Skye has created a story that is not like one that I have ever read before. I love the originality of it and from the beginning I was intrigued. I had heard of a peryton before but had no idea what to expect, not knowing anything about the mythical creature, I was intrigued, a body of a stag and bird. I'm glad there were pictures because the image I had in my head didn't do it any justice haha. I loved the fact that it had imprinted to her and was not expecting it to be able to communicate with her telepathically. I don't know why, I just guessed it would be a silent player to the book. Leading up to the main action of the story, you given more about Lassadar and his position alongside King Gynt. For me, Skye has written Lassadar perfectly, she has made you feel the way Eona feels about him, you become trusting of him and you like him but over time you see him for the kind of person he truly is. I will admit there were times where I'm like, where is the action! But that stems from the fact that I am so use to reading books that have a lot of action. Once I got used to the lack of action and realised that the story would instead have a nice build up to it, I was 100% into it. The only thing I will say that during an action scene (can't give it away cause of spoilers), it seemed a bit quick, for me anyway. I wished it had been longer because it was enjoyable. Overall I was incredibly impressed with the story and loved how it progressed, once I got over my issues haha. Eona is a fantastic character and she possesses a certain naivety and strength that is expected in a person. Some of her thoughts about Lassadar were a little "oh come on!!" but, despite all that I really fell in love with her character and I can't wait to read more of Eona and to see how Skye reveals her past and her mother's past. Reading the little bits that she threw in to connect her to her past were awesome and it feels like it will be a be a nice lead up to her finding out about who she is and why Lassadar was able to gain control of her so easily. I loved the character, Jon and I really do hope that we see more of him because he helped her so much and I was wanting a more with them two. I really hope that he makes a return in the next book. Like really hope. . . . Sa-Lia - love her character and even though she isn't in it much,; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tainted Rose (The Starlight Gods Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Yumoyori Wilson Page; Review: I am so in love with this series! Yumoyori knows what her readers want and delivers it. I absolutely loved the the first book and was even more in love once book 2 had come out. This book starts up basically where the first one left us. I started the book wondering how it was going explain the ending of Dark Wish, because you're left thinking that that was it for Mako right? How is Yumoyori going to explain the events of the previous book. Well, she does it in a way that is so original and natural. We don't just pick up months down the track and Mako is fine and dandy and everyone's having a laugh. The book actually starts off with the guys POV's and Eli's and works it's way to Mako. I loved absolutely loved it! It was so refreshing. And I love my guys so a bit of extra time with them was amazing hehe. Things heat up a little in this book between Ryder and Mako and Stryker and Rose. Wow. . . It was so amazing, I wanted more and was disappointed when there wasn't anymore sizzle and heat to read hahaha. . . I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the guys a bit more, we read more of Daniel and Elias and go to know more about his past a little. I really enjoyed seeing Marcus' dragon come out to play. I want more of him in the next one! Oh and don't even get me start on Kai and his phoenix. . . wow. Yumoyori just keeps on bringing on the hotness with these men and I seriously can't handle it! I keep finding men to claim as my own! haha. . I really feel for Elias and I really hope that he can open up to Mako soon and let her in. I would also love to get more of Azriel, I loved the dynamic between him and Stryker, and the silly little tiff that they have going on. . . I giggle every time at it. It seemed very natural to have a demon and angel bang heads and not want to admit that they actually are besties hahaha. . . There were some super amazing moments within the book and you got to see Mako take that witch from school down again hehe. Oh that was so delicious! And to have Ryder's parents support her and back her up was just the cherry on top. I'm so in love with his parents and I want to adopt them . . . The story was a natural progression from Dark Wish and the reveal in it!! I knew it! I just knew it! hehehe. . . I won't spoil it. . .you'll have to read it. I loved everything about this book and Yumoyori just keeps on delivering, in not only the story, but the characters as well. I'm super excited for Book three and I hope this series never ends haha.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: My Own Human; Author: Visit Amazon's Arizona Tape Page; Review: I absolutely loved this story. It had everything that I loved in a book and then some. Arizona doesn't seem to be able to do wrong. Having read her My Winter Wolf Series and Danny's Dance, I knew that I was in for treat. I am usually all for action in books as it's what I'm used to in books, but I found that, even though this was a PNR book, the tone that she set up allowed for there to be no reason for any action. It was a sweet book about the connection between two different species and how they go about overcoming the prejudices against each others and their own, the forbidden relationship and how to coexist in a world that is so new and different. The characters are so believable and relatable and act in situations you would expect of them. Adriana is a vampire, who lives on her own. She is fascinated with history and humans, how they lived, what they did, the language etc., so when she stumbles across Heather, she can't wait to be able to study her and takes her back to her place. I loved how Adriana was so "normal". She had a short temper and blew up in situations other people wouldn't really blink an eye to or get as annoyed with. She wasn't the controlled, strong MC that you see in every other story. She was flawed, and flawed in a way that is so realistic. I'm sure everyone out there knows someone who has a short fuse and it was so refreshing to see a character like that! I found myself wincing at stuff Adriana would say or do and be like. . . oh no, Adriana isn't going to like that! hehe. . . Even though she thought strategically, she had moments of weakness and forgetfulness and where her emotions would get the better of her and this was another thing I loved. . . She's human! Even though she isn't. . . Heather was feisty and argumentative and pigheaded and strong, sassy, courageous, stubborn at times and this clashed with Adriana's personality as well. . And my thoughts kept on leading me to some friends who are exactly the same and I would chuckle whenever they would have their little tiffs haha. . I love Heather, she has a vulnerability and strength in her that is wonderful. She understands what is right and wrong and how she should be treated and is not scared to voice them, even though she is with someone who could easily kill her. I love that she made the vampires not having titles for sexual preferences and they just date whoever they like and no one even cares. Made me want to live in that world, although, it isn't free of it's own prejudices, and sees humans as inferior beings and not worth their time. What I loved most is that you had a story that is based on the relationship of two women. Not a man and a woman. I've never read; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Polar Destiny: A Reverse Harem Novel (The Drowning); Author: Visit Amazon's Skye MacKinnon Page; Review: The story follows Isla, a woman who lives in the little village/town of Salvation Island. She lives a miserable life and ends up running away from, whilst on the run, she runs into four bear shifters, Torben, Finn, Hunn and Ran. They take her in and after she injures herself when she discovers that they're bear shifters (silly silly girl), they take care of her and she travels with them to find Inchbrach. On the way they meet Arnold and Bertrand, two lovely bear shifters. I love the dystopian aspect of the book, I love dystopian stories. This story has everything I want, hot shifters who are BEARS!!!! and one is a POLAR BEAR! I LOOOOOVE polar bears. A dystopian storyline and it's RH! What more could you want?! The characters are absolutely amazing, Isla (love the name) is feisty and I love her inner monologues, especially when she argues with Alis. She's still young and probably a little immature because she makes a couple of stupid ideas, but she's still loveable and it doesn't distract so much from her as a character. She is very well developed. Her reaction to a particular situation is how I imagine a person to react if it was real, however, her action. . . not so much hehe. The sleuth, all of them I love, especially Torben and Finn. And I've claimed them both. . .they are mine! But so are Hunn and Ran haha I love the different personalities and love how playful Finn is. I'm really interested to see how things go with the bears and Alis - and to know a bit more of her background. I instantly fell for Arnold and Bertrand - they are the perfect couple and the good neighbours type of guys. I hope Skye writes a backstory on these two. One of them in particular, I LOVED and wished it was longer. . . I hope there are more, and longer. I need longer scenes!! I can't wait for book two, I'm so excited to find out what happens next; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: From The Deeps (Seven Wardens); Author: Visit Amazon's Laura Greenwood Page; Review: This book is super awesome. I never need to worry about reading a book from Skye or Laura - and I knew that I definitely didn't have to worry about their awesome collaboration. When I heard about this book and read the blurb I was intrigued and let me just say that this book didn't disappoint. AT. ALL! It had me sitting on the edge of my seat in the first chapter to know what had happened to her brothers and what was going to happen with Macey and if she was ever going to find them again. I love the banter between her and the sexy ass men of hers. . . I was jealous. . . Weird right? to be jealous of a damn character. . . . but hot damn her men!!! Little witch hehehe. . . I'm usually not one for reading books filled with mythologies I'm not familiar with because I trip over it all when reading it but the story was so amazing, and the writing flawless between the two authors - it was seamless which is what you want in a co-written book. I laughed and gasped and got a little hot especially the beautiful scene where there were some water issues. I needed 10 cold showers after it and wanted it to go longer and more of it! hehehe I can't wait to find out what happens next and to meet the rest of the wardens =o D; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Dar El Kasbah; City: Tangier Tangier Tetouan Region; Review: Everything you expect is delivered from this place. Very friendly Concierge always looking to help. Great location in the lively Medina, with amazing restaurants all around. It was a great value, and felt very secure. Really couldn't expect more for a place of this price. I would suggest this spot to anybody. Seemingly a very Moroccan experience, and I would not have rather been in another hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mehdia Surf Camp Morocco; City: Mehdia Gharb Chrarda Beni Hssen Region; Review: Absolutely beautiful little town outside of Kenitra Morocco. The surf camp was so friendly and had a real familial vibe. In October the camp and surrounding town seem to be very quiet, but it is what it is, and I couldn't have asked for a more authentic adventure. Got some great surfing in, and the owner is an avid surfer, very relaxed, and always looking to help. You won't hear a single complaint from me about this place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Bretagne Montparnasse; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: Great place with very friendly concierge. They were accepting of a late check in time. The room was clean, a good size, and a great location. And we didnt need to spend too much! Great value, would suggest this place to anyone looking for a relatively cheap and clean stay in Paris.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blue Water Resort on Cable Beach; City: Nassau New Providence Island Bahamas; Review: This touristy, yet slightly less pricey area of the island is ideal to get a more local vybe. The employees were helpful and caring, and the services were spot on. The place was not modern, but the price reflected that well. Great little private beach and pool, with a small bar there for drinks when it is too hot. The bus comes right to the front of the hotel, which can take you anywhere on the island. Seemingly a good spot for families, even though I was there on spring break and loved it. We were often out seeing other parts of the island. Overall a good deal, and I would suggest it to anyone looking for this on Nassau.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Austin s Arts et Metiers Hotel; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: Small, clean, comfortable rooms. Not a lot of closet space, but could be exactly what you need. I was looking for an apartment in Paris, and didnt have a place to stay. I stayed here for a week, and the management let me keep a lot of bags in the storage for a few days. No complaints. Simple, and a good location. Close to Montorgeuil, the Marais, Republique, Oberkampf and Grand boulevards. Lots of metros close by. Great place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Surf Hostel Bidart; City: Bidart Basque Country Pyrenees Atlantiques Nouvelle Aquitaine; Review: A great deal. Didn't get good surfing, but I don't blame them! This place is so cool, in a gorgeous town in the Basque area of France. Comfortable, hostel style living, with very cool management. Very relaxed vibe with an amazing unspoiled town surrounding it. I went for a few days between here and Surf Hostel Biarritz, and couldn't have asked for more at this location. Really a great place to end up, especially for the great price.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Surf Hostel Bed Breakfast; City: Biarritz Basque Country Pyrenees Atlantiques Nouvelle Aquita; Review: A great spot. Included bikes and surfboards. An amazing, yet busy in August, town. The rooms are comfortable and definitely clean. I felt very safe there, leaving my ipad out of sight, but far from locked. Didn't have great surf, but had a great experience, with great suggestions from the management on where to eat and go, and what to see. The real complaint is that it is not too close from the "downtown" or even beachside area of Biarritz. But when you pay what you do for this place, you definitely get more than you deserve, or at least expect.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Le Village Hostel; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: Came here for a night after returning from a late flight in from Morocco. I checked in late, and although had to wait outside the door for 20 minutes to get inside, I was still happy enough, it seemed like an honest mistake. I get there at 11 pm and they hand me the sheets and towels in a bag, and I get to my room with 4 others there already sleeping, so I couldn't make my bed without waking them. OK, that could all be my fault The next morning, they woke us up early with a man coming to repair the bathroom, and pressured me into checking out early. I just wanted to lie down for a few minutes before I wait for my train. They were really disrespectful to me on checkout, and were not understanding that I did not immediately know where to put my linens. The place is fine, I guess, I just really hated the people working there.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Club Val d Anfa Hotel; City: Casablanca Grand Casablanca Region; Review: I was welcomed well in this hotel on the outskirts on the beach in Casablanca. Safe feeling resort for a tourist in town! Everything you need is inside the resort. I was very happy here. The staff were so welcoming and it was professionally run. Great views of the beach.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cherry Court Hotel; City: London England; Review: So happy with this place. I don't know how to compare it to other hotels in London based on room size or quality, but I think that for the money, we were treated very well. It is a very nice family owned place. Rooms were always clean. The walls were thin, and the rooms were small, but we paid a fraction of the price of most hotels in the area. Great location. Very safe feeling in the rooms.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: IStay Hotel Porto Centro; City: Porto Porto District Northern Portugal; Review: (NOW CALLED ISTAY HOTEL!!!!) On our budget weekend trip to Porto, my girlfreind and I stayed here. Got here after a bit of confusion, as they are going through a rebranding, and google maps takes you to a hotel called istay, which is correct!!! So be prepared for green outside, instead of bright orange. Services are minimal, but the help is all very friendly. New towels cost money, as does everything else. The rooms are very clean though, and it is in a great location! So glad we stayed here. Will be back!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hostel Mamallena; City: Cartagena Cartagena District Bolivar Department; Review: Mamallena is a great hostel which I completely recommend. It is simple in its amenities, but the vibe is relaxed, the people are friendly and trustworthy, and the location is outstanding. It is in the unique neighborhood of Ghetsemani, which has a very authentic feel. This place was quiet enough to sleep at, while being so close to all the nightlife that this strip of Hostels and budget hotels is famous for. I would not stay anywhere different, a real deal for the price. Great value, great people, and a great experience. I wouldn't think twice about it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Regency Denver At Colorado Convention Center; City: Denver Colorado; Review: Great clean hotel in downtown Denver. Exactly as the Hyatt wants their hotels. Clean, modern, welcoming. The rooms were clean, internet worked well, and the views were nice. Seems to be a very professional setting.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Acer Iconia Tab A500 Protective Case; Brand: Acer; Review: The main thing about the case is that it offers a couple ways of standing the tablet. These two functions are great, and work well with this case. For that reason alone it may be worth buying, since your options are currently very limited. The only other choice I'm aware of is a $120 leather piece. However, the fit and finish of the product is terrible. Total garbage. I was very surprised to find, when first opening it, that there are exposed seams which run all the way around the edges of the case, where the two sides were heat-sealed together. I couldn't see this in the pictures of the product, and didn't expect such poor fit-and-finish at a forty dollar price point. Acer did a great job with the tablet, and an absolutely horrible job with the case.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: VIZIO SB3821-C6 38-Inch 2.1 Channel Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer; Brand: VIZIO; Review: Huge improvement over tiny tv speakers.

Bluetooth works, but found when testing on multiple devices it takes a while for the pairing device to discover the vizio speaker.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Of course you can print them with a photosmart printer getting excellient results. This area is costly though, but no waiting for the photo shop to deliver.

Title: CORSAIR CARBIDE 200R Compact ATX Case, CC-9011023-WW; Brand: Corsair; Review: This case is of very good quality and I like the no "tools required" convenience ( you can also install with screws if you prefer). There's plenty of room inside for big and clumsy hands like mine plus good places to hide cables. Only one minor negative is the power button is dead level with the smooth front and I have a hard time finding it to turn on the machine since I keep it under my desk; not the best if you need to find the button by feel. This one is better suited for keeping on top of the desk or somewhere better lit so the button can be seen. The case is well vented and plenty quiet for me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: ASUS 2GB Graphics Cards R7240-2GD3-L; Brand: Asus; Review: I installed this card into a new build for gaming. My motherboard doesn't have onboard graphics as I prefer and I purchased this one because it is highly rated and looked to have good features for the money. Well, it was a total DOA. I couldn't make it work at all, even the fan so I sent it back and purchased another brand that works very well.. I've used ASUS products in years past and have had excellent results until I bought a laptop last year and had to send it to ASUS for repair twice before they got it right. Now this graphics card is DOA. ASUS, you need to sharpen your QC! The positive side to this is the excellent return service given me by Amazon.com. They were fast and never questioned anything. I do hope this was a fluke times two because I'd hate to see a company like ASUS start to turn out bad quality.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Juiceman JCJ150S 40-Watt Automatic Citrus Juicer with 2 Juicing Cones; Brand: Juiceman; Review: This juicer has several major, unfixable design flaws. 1. You cannot really keep a glass next to it to catch the juice. As you juice the orange, unless you have Schwarznegger type hands, the juicer moves a little bit. Since the spout is so short, the glass has to be almost touching the juicer. Inevitably you will wind up with a glass of juice knocked over, spilling all over the kitchen counter and dripping into the drawers and floor. By the time you are on the fourth half and just as your glass gets full, and those muscles are a little bit fatigues is also the most likely time for this to happen. The average woman will never be able to hold this juicer perfectly still. So prepare to get on your knees and clean up the sticky stuff. (sigh) 2. When you push the spout up to stop the flow of juice (such as when you want to change a glass or when you want to take a break to cut a couple more oranges open), the spout will drip, drip, drip a few drops on the counter (hence the suggestion in the title that it be called the p! ssman juicer). When you keep a fresh glass, it will sit on the dripped juice and then make rings wherever you keep the glass. Yes, you can keep a towel under the juicer and coasters everywhere, but it's lot of work because the spout drips like you know what. 3. When the spout is up the actual capacity of the juice holder is very small about 10 oz at the most. By the time you squeeze a large orange, the juice is slopping up over the pulp catcher. 4. The whole spout and hinge mechanism is difficult, if not impossible to clean. If you ever forget to clean immediately, forget it. Unless you have some fine brushes that ca get into a quarter inch tunnel, you cannot clean the dried juice. If you have kids or a forgetful husband who won't clean it rightaway, the spout mechanism is a germ trap. 5. Unless you at least six feet, the height of the juicer on a typical counter will make it difficult for an average woman to exert force to hold the orange down. why they choose to make the juice so tall, hmmm,... let me guess that there was no woman on the design team. Sending it back to Amazon, $8 for shipping wiser.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Black & Decker Infrawave Oven; Brand: Black & Decker; Review: This unit has a major design flaw that is a deal breaker. You CANNOT set the temperature and time. It can only run the preprogrammed temperatures and times. It has a weird convert function where it takes times and temperatures you enter and converts to other times and temperatures. Pleeeeaaase, I KNOW what temperature I WANT. So there is NO WAY to enter your own temperature and time. You can increase the cooking time of the preprogrammed settings, but you CANNOT set the temperature and time. No way, Jose. Does B&D think we are 1d10ts? The real 1d10ts are the so called designers who decided that people who buy this oven cannot be allowed to pick a temperature and time. Also when compared to the Panasonic NB-G110P, this one has marked tendency to burn the toast at the back of the oven while the front one is underbrowned. It's going baaaak.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Frigidaire Professional Stainless Programmable 6-Slice Infared Convection Toaster Oven; Brand: Electrolux; Review: This oven only have infrared heating from the top. The bottom elements are conventional heating elements. Thus, this oven cannot be used as a "no preheat" oven because, if you do, the top of the food you cook will be burned while the bottom is uncooked. I bought it for the "no preheat" infrared feature. I was sadly disappointed. The interior is surprisingly small. I do not recommend this product.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Best Western Plus Crown Colony Inn Suites; City: Lufkin Texas; Review: This is one of the best hotel we have stayed at in several years. Rooms are beautiful and exceptionally clean. Staff is friendly and very professional. They have a full breakfast that beats McDonalds any day. There is a very nice, clean pool and there are several nice eating establishments within walking distance. This hotel is very nice for a reasonable price. We will stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Jasper TX; City: Jasper Texas; Review: My husband and I keep my 12 and 8 yr. old grandchildren every Thursday night and this week me and the grandkids decided to stay at the Super 8 and walk next door to Casa Ole to eat. The kids had just gotten new tablets earlier that day and internet at both my home and their home is spotty at best so they were excited about having internet in their hotel room. The suite was nice but alittle dated. The furniture was comfortable and the room was attractive. There was a sofa/bed, recliner, small table and chairs plus a desk and the wardrobe with swivel TV. It also had a fridge and microwave and the coffee pot, iron & board and blowdryer was in the room and you did not have to request them. The room was very clean and smell nice but I wish the bed had've been a little softer. Over all this was a very enjoyable, comfortable evening. I have stayed at many hotels but the staff at this hotel were amongst the nicest and most helpful that I have come across. Michelle was very professional but at the same time veryfriendly. She even gave us coupons for Casa Ole (her own coupons). The evening we checked in the kids were having trouble connecting their new tablet to the internet and Rick was very helpful. Both Michelle and Rick is and asset to the Super 8 hotel chain. I will definitely stay here again.....kids are planning a summer overnight stay just to swim in the very pretty pool.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wingate by Wyndham Lake Charles Casino Area; City: Lake Charles Louisiana; Review: Booked this Hotel on line through Travelocity for a Sunday night and got a great price for a jacuzzi room but when we arrived to check in we were given a room with 2 doubles and no jacuzzi. I spoke to desk worker and, with no complaint at all, she made all the changes but she did say that when you book with the online booking companies you are guaranteed a room but even though you book a jacuzzi you may not get one but you will get an available room. Our room was really pretty and very clean. The rooms were all done in reds, blacks and grays which I found very energizing. I loved that the large jacuzzi was in a separate room although there was no door. There was a large screen TV in the room with jacuzzi although you have to turn the volume up very high to hear it but it was on closed caption. This hotel was easy to locate even though there was major construction within a 10th of a mile from it. There is shopping and restaurants practically within walking distance. There is an Olive Garden at the far side of the hotel's parking lot. It is within 2 miles of The Golden Nugget and L'Auberge Casinos. The hotel has a shuttle to the casinos on Friday and Saturday nights. I really enjoyed our stay in th Wingate at Wyndham and will stay her on our next casino trip. The staff was very friendly and helpful and seemed to take pride in their work. The full breakfast was very tasty and there was someone right there to help with anything you might need. The only thing I noticed that was not up to par was the Hot tub in the weight room wasn't working( not that we were going to use it) but there was a note making you aware that it was out of order. This hotel; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn Suites Navasota; City: Navasota Texas; Review: Chose this Hotel after reading reviews on Trip Advisor. They were right on the money. Rooms are very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We had a suite and it was very spacious. The desk clerk was very accomodating and friendly. The hot breakfast was very tasty and the lady preparing the breakfast was very helpful and friendly. We will stay here again if we are ever in Navasota and need a room.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge; City: Vicksburg Mississippi; Review: This was a last minute deal as we had to make a major detour due to the flooding in the Interstate 10 area of Louisiana. We figured we were going through Vicksburg we might as well spend the night catch the Casino and the Historic Military sites tomorrow. The lady at the Visitor Center suggest the Econo lodge. They had a king smoking room for $54.00. That is a great price for any hotel now days. The room was clean and it had a fridge and microwave. The older lady that checked us in was very friendly and gave us lots of info for our sightseeing. The AC was so good we had to completely turn it off for awhile to warm up. The only real complaint I have is the bed was sooo uncomfortable. The breakfast was the normal Waffles, muffins, cereal, milk & juice but temperature on all was good. I would stay here again even though the beds were uncomfortable unless it was going to be an extended visit. I feel a clean decent hotel for that price is well worth a hard bed for one or two nights.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Village Inn of Destin; City: Destin Florida; Review: We stayed at the Village Inn for 5 nights. It has most all of the amenities you might expect except the wifi is terrible. You have to go sit in the office to get online at all. The staff is very friendly and helpful with directions and info on activities and restaurants. The room was really large with a VERY comfortable king size bed. We had a small table with 2 chairs along with a loveseat. I loved having a sofa so we didn't have to sit on the bed for 5 days. Each room has a safe that that could be reset by the occupants. The room was clean when we arrived but I don't like to have housekeeping in the room during the time we are staying but the staff was great about giving us towels, TP etc... We had a corner room on ground floor and we didn't have any problems with noise except for road noise which can't be helped. There was a nice size pool which was always clean and never very crowded and they were generous enough to let you swim after hours as long as there wasn't much noise. Breakfast was the normal waffles, muffins, cereal, etc. it was always fresh and temperature was great. This hotel isn't fancy but it was in a great location. You could walk to the harborwalk and watch all the boats coming in or go to the restaurants and shops. The down side is the traffic is horrendous . It is really hard to get on Harbor Blvd. The hotel was very reasonably priced for the location and We will stay there again if we ever return.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Studio 6 Bay City; City: Bay City Texas; Review: My husband is in Bay City working and his coworkers were staying at the Scottish Inn but he wasn't impress with the hotel or the price so he went next door to Studio 6 and got a really nice kitchenette and he saved $115.00. The staff is very friendly and very professional. The room is very clean and the bed is new and really comfortable. They offer more Tv channels than most hotels and the internet is amazing. To all the men staying in hotels while working washers and dryers are important and this hotel has a great wash room. 4 new washers and dryers.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Hudson Hotel Suites; City: Hudson Colorado; Review: My husband, Billy, went to Hudson Colorado for a month long job. He stayed in the Best Western hotel. It was the only hotel in the town and it was a bit steeply priced for a weekly stay but it is a new hotel and the rooms were extremely nice. He was so impressed with the beds. He said they were much more comfortable than the one at home. He enjoyed the heated pool as it was still quite cold outside and it was so nice after being outside in the cold most of the day. They had a little commissary area on the ground floor and he frequented often and the prices were much more reasonable than the Love's convenience store next door. Billy said the breakfast every morning was great. There was a very sweet , helpful woman named Michele that always made sure the breakfast was to everyone's liking. She really wanted everyone to be happy and full. To a bunch of hard working men this is important as breakfast is the most imortant meal of the day. The staff was extremely professional and helpful. The rooms were clean and housekeeping did a thorough job. Overall the hotel is worth the money you pay and if ever we are in the area again we will stay there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rodeway Inn; City: Whites City New Mexico; Review: My husband was in White's City for 2 weeks for work and I was with him for 1 week of that. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. I liked the large room. It had a very comfortable king size bed and it had a table with 2 chairs which keeps you from having to sit in bed to watch tv, read or just relax. The internet is pretty good but weak at time although most folks use their phones anyway.The room has a refrigerator with a large freezer and a microwave and it has a shower and a bathtub. The room was very clean and housekeeping and the rest of the staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel offers breakfast with muffins, cereal, waffles and OJ. If you want a bigger breakfast you can go to the Cactus Cafe. The hotel offers a nice pool but there is also a little water park wirh 2 tall curved slides and a pool with a pirate ship. That is an addition. There are also covered picnic tables and grills available for use. There is a large gift shop, small grocery store and restaurant all within walking distance. It is also right at the entrance to Carslbad Caverns. I would not hesitate to stay at this hotel again in the future; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plaquemine Inn; City: Plaquemine Louisiana; Review: My husband was staying in Plaquemine for a nearby job and I was here for a 4 days visit. This is the only chain hotel in the area and it stays full during the weekdays with oil field workers so it is actually easier to get rooms here on weekends. The rooms are spacious and the have smoking and non smoking. My husband had a king sized bed, sofa and coffee table, long dresser, desk and computer chair, fridge and microwave and didn't appear crowded. The large tv was mounted on wall in the bed area but is able to turn for viewing in the living area. The inernet was fairly strong and there was an ethernet cable on the desk. I was very glad to see a small laundry room available although the ladies at the front desk did my husbands laundry for a very reasonable price. There is a small gym with several different machines to use and a small but nice pool area. The hotel serves a nice breakfast with eggs, burritos, sausage gravy, biscuits, waffles, cereal, muffins and more. There is a great mexican restaurant within walking distance and other small locally owned restaurants close by. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at this hotel again in the future. The staff was friendly and helpful and the price was average for a Best Western in a small town.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Studio 6 Bay City; City: Bay City Texas; Review: My husband just stayed here for the second time and he was very disappointed. He stayed for 4 days and housekeeping did not make his bed the whole time. They came in cleaned the toilet and put blue sanitizer in it, replaced the towels and emptied the trash cans. They didn't leave coffee so he went to the office to get some and there was a note with a phone number. He called and the lady said she would be there in the morning but she did come in later in the evening and he got coffee. This is so different from 2 months ago. That visit was almost a month log.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Gibbs Downtown San Antonio Riverwalk; City: San Antonio Texas; Review: My two teenage grandkids and myself love to visit downtown San Antonio and made reservations here as the location can't be beat. This hotel was built in 1909 and still has much of the turn of the century architecture. I am glad they decided to replace the original elevators although they did leave the doors for ascetic purposes. The marble throughout the hotel is indicative of the turn of the century as is the tile in the lobby and check in area. The check in cleck was awesome. My grandson was disappointed when she told him the hotel wasn't haunted( he is 12 and is all about anything paranormal) so she told him that the outside wall was where the far wall of the Alamo was the place that Santa Ana breached the Alamo. So she said that means the grounds are possibly haunted even though the hotel isn't and she told us where the haunted places are supposed to be. He was happy again! The hotel is across the street from the Alamo and very close to an entrance to the Riverwalk. It is a few blocks to the Riverwalk Center mall. The hotel offers a great breakfast in their own dinning room that is a bar in the evenings. The breakfast offers the normal fare but has fresh fruit, carne a sada, warm tortillas and a breakfast burrito bar. The lady in charge of this spread is Jessica and she is awesome at her job. All of the staff at this hotel is great. The valet guys are very helpful and try very hard to get cars to their owners quickly. Javier is great and very helpful with directions. The hotel is old but beautifully maintained. There is no swimming pool but it does have a weight room and a computer room with an ATM. The rooms are comparable to other hotels in the area and the service is better than most I have stayed in. Looking forward to staying here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Johnson City Inn; City: Johnson City Texas; Review: My husband stayed at this hotel 2 weeks before we book it for the Christmas lights in Johnson City. He had told me after his stay for a hunting trip that he really enjoyed the hotel. It was comfortable it was very clean and the breakfast was really good. He was right. The room was very comfortable and everything was extremely clean. It has a microwave and the fridge and a sofa and coffee table so that you can sit and watch TV instead of sitting on the bed. It was almost completely full the two nights that we were there but it was very quiet. The bed was very comfortable and the only problem that we had is the water wouldn't get very hot, got pretty warm but it didn't get hot and the little one cup coffee pot kept turning off so we had to keep punching the button to keep it on. We could have gone to the office and got another coffee pot so that wasn't really a problem it was laziness on our part. The staff was extremely professional and helpful and housekeeping is great. This hotel had added touches that set it apart from other Best Westerns. I put some pictures of the touches that made this fitting to the Hill Country very well. They had a gazebo, they had a Cypress or Cedar porch swing in a frame by the gazebo. Along the top floor railings is some wrought iron scenery from Western Days. I was impressed that they fly a Texas flag in the United States flag, which at the time we were there, was half mast due to President Bush's death. If you're in the Fredericksburg or Johnson City area I need to stay the night this Best Western is much is much more reasonable than any of the b&bs are hotels in the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Natural Pet Shampoo For Dogs & Cats - Moisturizing And Deodorizing Formula With Lavender & Evening Primrose Oil; Brand: Maple Holistics; Review: I absolutely LOVE this product!! I would recommend Maple Holistics to anyone and everyone I know! My dog has EXTREMELY SENSITIVE SKIN and he breaks out very easily with certain shampoos, foods, etc. So, I have to be very careful with what I bath him with. When I tried the Natural Pet Shampoo by Maple Holistics ....I was so VERY IMPRESSED!! It did not make my beloved dog, BLUE break out at all anywhere!!! Awesome all natural products!! It also has a phenomenal fragrance!! Wouldn't you love to use Natural Pet Shampoo on your pet? #Maple Holistics #Amazon #NaturalPetShampoo; Rating: 5.0/5.0

My dog is getting older and having a hard time getting around so I thought I'd give this product a try. And the results are PHENOMENAL!! It only takes couple days to see results of the product to begin working. He's getting around a lot easier and is more active with these Bites!! Not to mention this product is all natural and nutritious for him So it's a win win situation. I'm very satisfied with this product and will be purchasing again!!

Title: Chuckit! Ultra Ball; Brand: Chuckit!; Review: I LOVE THESE GUYS AND GALS!! I have a HEAVY CHEWER! and I usually can only buy him KONG! BUT I found another brand I can but from now!! #ChuckIt These are very lightweight. Fits in my hand perfectly to throw for my dog! It came in a two pack which is perfect because we have 2 dogs here at the house! Ever since I bought these #ChuckIt balls, both dogs have been prancing and running around all day long with these in their mouth! Like I said...my dog is a HEAVY cheese, and he takes a break with it and lays down and just chews it. Like he's exercising his jaws with it. He tried tearing it up...like tearing little pieces off of it and it was a NO GO!! and that means a whole Lot!! So, thumbs up to you #ChuckIt!! You have you a new customer!! #ChuckIt #Amazon; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: HDP Kong Rubber Ball Extreme; Brand: KONG; Review: I can never go wrong choosing KONG!! honestly!! My big dog is a HEAVY HEAVY CHEWER and Long and a couple other brands is all the choices I have in buying him toys. But, I'm sure not complaining as KONG RUBBER TOYS lasts so long! I have a KONG RUBBER you similar to this one I bought when my dog was 2 months old, he's now over a year old and the toy is still like new!! When it comes to KONG'S rubber toys... Honestly folks..there's not one thing I can say that I dislike about the product or products period. They are made JUST RIGHT!! #KONG #AMAZON; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: KONG Wild Knots Bear Dog Toy, Colors Vary; Brand: KONG; Review: This cute Kong Wild Knots Squeaker Bear is really adorable! Mine came in a brown color with the cure patches on his body with the squeaker on the inside!! I was just looking for a toy for my dog, BLUE that isn't just rubber that I thought he may be able to keep for a while without tearing up in one day! He's a HEAVY CHEWER! SUPER BAD! So, I bought this by KONG because that and a couple other brands are the only ones I have ANY kind of luck with! And it doesn't even guarantee that he's not going to year it apart! He surprises me sometimes! I Like: * Cute Design * Squeaks * Twisty Tie Rope on the Inside * Twisty Tie Rope is Attached to The Bear on the Inside. I Don't Like: * My dog BLUE broke it open the first day. * It's not made with stronger materials (threading Etc..being KONG. I really do like the product. It's just for a smaller or medium dog that's not a hard chewer. It's definitely not for a large dog that chews on things like it's a competition just to see if he can get it open. I think that what my dog does. So, overall, a decent product. What disappoints me, is that I have NEVER, EVER found a stuffed animal type toy that MY TYPE OF DOG could enjoy. Seriously! I would love to send out a challenge to all dog brands out there. Because this is what I do regularly..test products and review. And no..I didn't get this free. This was mine ..I bought this. Lol. But it's too bad I don't have the recipe to what it would take for HEAVY CHEWERS TO HAVE FURRY TOYS. !! But o still love LOVE KONG RUBBER TOYS!! # KONG #AMAZON; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: KONG CuteSeas; Brand: KONG; Review: As with the Kong Bear I bought for my dog BLUE overall I really love KONG PRODUCTS..THE RUBBER ONES.but they need some work on the furry ones! My dog is a HEAVY, HEAVY chewer! And yeah rubber does the job ..only KONG AND a couple other brands. But seriously it would really be SUPER AWESOME if he could have a furry toy that would last more that a day. He years them up within the first hour or less. And at least I can say that KONG puts a twisted rope tie inside of the furry bear that is Attached to it for one more days use. But, big dogs are big babies too! They like furry animal toys too! Like I said, I would love to challenge pet brands in furry toys because I haven't seen one yet that he can't demolish! And I've spent thousands trying find one!! But we'll keep trying! Cause he's my baby!! Good try KONG! I DO LOVE YOUR RUBBER TOYS! YOU GOT HIM ON THOSE!! #KONG #AMAZON; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |

Title: Borgo Sicelle; City: Castellina In Chianti Tuscany; Review: What can I say except this is one of the best places I have ever stayed in. Its simple, beautiful, cheap, had one of the best restaurants in Tuscany right across the street and ran by a lovely couple. Its perfect for exploring Florence, Sienna and Perugia, local vineyards and towns. Or, you can just lie by the sparklingly clean pool and admire the view. Its the perfect holiday accommodation. I personally can't wait to return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: UNAHOTELS Scandinavia Milano; City: Milan Lombardy; Review: We booked the hotel on Lastminute.com's secret hotel list and were instantly worried about some of the reviews on here about location. Yes, its a little out from the centre but its a beautiful walk in through Sempione park and well served by both 19 and 1 tram services. It has a fantastic market outside the door on a Saturday and supermarket right opposite which is huge and very good value. As well as that there are at least 6 great restaurants in easy walking distance and the best gellato shop I've ever been in right round the corner. Add all that to the fact the hotel itself is spotless, the staff are hugely helpful and rooms great....why bother with a noisy, expensive centre hotel when you get all the benefits of a city here in a lovely part of town.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Nutmeg; City: Wilmington Vermont; Review: Quite a small room and bed (6a) and right next to the main public rooms downstairs, but the hosts and staff were amazing and the breakfast was lovely. The Inn has a lovely little lounge and 'trust' bar area with free WiFi which is great to relax in after a day's sightseeing. In a nice area and overall would definitely recommend this hotel....but get one of the king-bed rooms upstairs.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ocean House Hotel at Bass Rocks; City: Gloucester Cape Ann Massachusetts; Review: Loved our stay at the Bass Rocks. Great staff, lovely big room and amazing view our of our large patio doors. The only thing to bear in mind is the balconies and patios out the patio doors are all shared and not very private. It is also quite pricey. But, if you want a lovely room with a view and a great breakfast its the place for you.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Park Plaza County Hall London; City: London England; Review: At first impressions the hotel was really nice and the check-in was dealt with superbly. However, the room layout was really odd with the bed right next to the door - meant there was no natural light and all the noise from the corridor came right into the bed. It was then apparent that the walls were paper thin and we heard very word our neighbours were saying. There's no point in having sound-proof windows if you can hear every word in the corridor and next door. Then there was the lifts....oh my word are they horrendous. There is work being done on one of the three currently but they are horrifically slow and always mobbed - the most frustrating lifts I have experienced. On Sunday morning we were waiting nearly 15 minutes. And being on the 9th floor with a knee about to undergo surgery, I had no other option. Nice decor, decent service but the rooms are not quite up to scratch and as for those lifts...worth avoiding for those alone.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Monachyle Mhor; City: Balquhidder Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Scotland; Review: This was our 2nd time at the Mhor (my wife's third) and were so looking forward to it...but it was sadly a rather disappointing experience all round. After checking into our courtyard room, which was nice, we noticed the room information was tired and out of date - wifi, TV and breakfast info were all incorrect. We then entered the restaurant and the rug on the way in and the carpet were both looking very shabby and tired since the last time we were there. We then noticed the whole entry and bar area adjacent to the kitcken was full of quite acrid cooking smoke and not the most relaxing beginning to our evening. We then sat at the bar for what was the most uncomfortable pre-dinner drink I have ever had. Within seconds of coming in, three dishes were smashed in the dining room or kitchen, waiting staff were running everywhere, in what is a small area making us wondering where the fire was! When we did order a gin and tonic and rum and ginger beer we were frustratingly asked at least 6 different questions about that simple order by the waiter/barman, which was annoying to say the least...how hard can two drinks be? We got to our seat and ordered and when the starters arrived, the pork I ordered was superb but my wife's scallop was just that...a scallop, and a very small one at that. We fully appreciate hand dived scallops are expensive but when I get an expansive dish of pork and my wife finishes her starter in a single bite, its hardly an equal dining experience. We mentioned this and as a result were given and additional intermediate course of braised ox cheek, which to be fair was incredible. The mains and deserts were also very good, but has to be said the piece of lemon tart for desert was the smallest I have ever seen served in any restaurant. And so we returned to our room. A 3am three dogs right outside began to bark...and bark...and bark. It was ridiculous and no-one seemed to go and see to them. We eventually got back to sleep, until the barking started again at 7am and carried on for a further 30 minutes. So to breakfast and while it was very nice, it was rather small. The toast was half pieces of bread and gone in half a bite. We asked for more twice and it never arrived. The scone was lovely and tiny, the egg was overcooked...and tiny. The portion of haggis and bacon were also really small. It was all just a little bit mean and felt close but really not quite there. When we checked out we mentioned the dogs barking...and the chap at reception just smiled and then went into a story about the dog being a bit odd since she had pups. An apology was what I was actually looking for, not a sob story about what was an incredibly noisy labrador...not to mention the other three which were barking! If you have; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel La Fiancee du Pirate; City: Villefranche sur Mer French Riviera Cote d Azur Provence Alp; Review: For the most part we really liked our stay at the Pirate. The hosts are genuinely lovely, the reception area is clean and fresh, with a terrace which has lovely views over the bay. The pool is fantastic and the lounging area is lovely and secluded. The rooms are comfortable, toilet and shower was nice and the air con works well, which is just as well when it is so hot outside. However, there are a few things you should consider and a couple of suggestions for the owners. The wifi is dreadfully temperamental. Given they have 4 router options, none of them worked in the room (8), which is a bit odd. There is no fridge in the rooms, which would be nice for keeping drinks cool and not being able to eat down at the pool is a bit of a pain...especially given there is no food option after breakfast. Again, the fridges would help this. However, the biggest consideration has to be the location. The hotel is at the summit of a 1.4km hill from the main harbour where all the restaurants etc are. Going down is ok but coming back is a hike if fairly strenuous proportions. There is a local bus but there are only about one per hour and crucially the service stops at 7pm. This makes it tricky if you want to have a day exploring, get changed then go out for dinner. There is one restaurant nearby which is ok but all the decent ones are down the hill. There is a taxi rank in town but it is a 15 euro fare back and on two occasions there were no taxis in the rank between 9:30 and 11pm, which does make it a bit of a gamble to go down in the evening without risking the hike back. I do not want to sound negative because the hotel, facilities and hosts are all fantastic....but just be sure you know what you are booking, especially if you are not so fit or mobile and want to go out for dinner in the evening.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Fielding Hotel; City: London England; Review: On paper the Fielding should be a great little hotel but I can't give it the review it could deserve. The location is perfect and down a quiet street beside the mayhem of Covent Garden. The staff are lovely and really helpful. But our room (16) was really poor. It was pretty small and on a split level with the toilet down 7 pretty steep narrow steps. They had hard plastic carpet guards on the edges making them really uncomfortable to walk up and down. The bed had old sheets and blankets on them and wasn't that comfortable at all. And the aircon didn't work when we first arrived. Overall I thought it felt a bit tired, despite it having been painted recently. The owner did take our feedback well when we checked out and graciously offered to put us in a different room next time, but I don't think it is enough to temp us back and we cancelled our booking sheduled for July. Maybe we were just unlucky but when paying decent money, I don't want to return with more hope than expectation.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Grand Vacations at Tuscany Village; City: Orlando Florida; Review: The suites in this hotel are not like any other hotel room or suites, they are apartments - and they are super comfy. They have full kitchen facilities, including laundry, a huge spa bath, balcony and nice living area. The pool areas are lovely and the one at the far end (behind building 4) is generally a lot quieter.They also have BBQ facilities onsite which are great. The location is absolutely fabulous - 20 mins drive from the airport, 5 from Seaworld, 15 from Disney and 20 from Universal. There is an outlet mall joined right next door and a few decent restaurants within walking distance. There is also a superb Publix supermarket right across the road - it really is an ideal location. The staff are generally really friendly, although when checking out I did encounter the one member of staff with terrible attitude and did need to speak to a manager, which was really unfortunate. But overall, the staff are great. Downsides - the rooms do get turned over, but not cleaned. We were there for 12 days and the room was not vacuumed the whole time and felt a bit grubby by the time we left. The bigger pool is also normally rammed, so avoid if you dont want to be surrounded by running kids. In the evenings they also show movies on a huge screen at the larger pool area, right next to the hotel's only bar, which is a real pain if you want a drink and chat at the end of the night...especially when they have the movie, music and sport on the TVs all at the same time. The bar also closes at 11 which is a bit unfortunate. The worst part of this place, however, is the hard sell for timeshare. As soon as you check in you need to speak to someone about getting your parking pass but before it's handed over, you get the full speech on welcome meetings, offers etc. Having seen some reviews I was prepared and gave her some short shrift which was met with a fair bit of attitude...but I didnt care. I also made clear if i was contacted again about it I'd be looking out the general manager, which seemed to work. I would really recommend this place as it was super comfy and really handy for everything. But be aware if you want an evening drink at the bar. And do not stand for any of the hard sell nonsense. Hilton - sort this hard sell rubbish out, its disgraceful. People want to relax on holiday and this is not what we should have to put up with these strong arm tactic while getting their parking permit, or the resultant attitude when we say no.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chalet Bonjour Tourelle; City: Tignes Savoie Auvergne Rhone Alpes; Review: We have been skiing in Tignes for almost 20 years and always look for a bit of a bargain. When fully catered chalets in Tignes Le Lac come as reasonably priced as this one we were slightly nervous, but really shouldn't have been. The team led really well by Nat were all very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The food was hearty, wholesome with plenty of it both at breakfast and dinner. And, the cakes, coffee and biscuits at tea-time were always lovely. It's a shame the chef couldn't cook porridge for his life (clue here being...it needs to cook!), but that's only a small quibble on the catering side. Having a bar and really comfy area to relax makes this a cut above some chalets in my view and was a great place to chill before dinner. Minor quibbles dropping this from a 5-star would be the wifi, although allegedly always connected doesn't really work. None of the 4 of us managed to get anything like a decent connection for the whole week. The rooms are small and pretty comfy, but the heating is a bit too ferocious in the rooms and makes for a dry night's sleep with little happy medium. Again, relatively minor in the greater scheme of things. Overall I'd definitely recommend and return to the Tourelle given the chance (and still there). But get in quick as it's to be redeveloped in the future and doubt very much it will remain as the reasonable little gem it is today.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel 1898; City: Barcelona Catalonia; Review: I really, really do wish I could be positive about our time at H1898, but given the dealings we unfortunately had with the management team, and the meal we 'experienced' in the restaurant, there is simply no way I could or would ever want to return. We booked the ‘Gastronomic’ package and far from being the tasting experience promised on the website, it was possibly the worst meal I have ever had - anywhere. The starter of over-cooked quail breast and under-cooked lentils was poor, the mains of bland salmon and under-cooked chicken (only choices available) were terrible and the ‘mojito’ dessert was the single most disgusting pudding I have ever tasted. And, what was also completely unforgivable for pretty much any restaurant in Spain, let alone one like this was that both red and white wines on offer with the packaged with completely undrinkable. For food and wine to be so very poor in a hotel this nice, in a city with a food heritage like Barcelona is actually beyond comprehension. We were, and still are, astonished. So, we complained at the time and were told we would have some sort of resolution the following morning, but it took a further three times of asking over the following three days for any sort of resolution. There was simply no acceptance of our complaint and an insistence we should take up the offer of a free meal, which was utterly ridiculous given the hundreds of amazing and risk-free restaurants within meters of the hotel entrance. We also had an issue with our air conditioning and asked for it to be fixed or be moved. It was checked with no issue found but no note confirming this was the case. The problem persisted and after the technician finally agreed with us we asked to be moved room. The process owned by the duty and front desk managers was then handled in the most atrocious way - I have never experienced such poor service and attitude from any hotel manager in my life. And by way of context I travel very extensively and am generally balanced in my opinions (as borne out by my other reviews here) but this was the worst single episode I have ever experienced in that 25 years of travelling. It took a very frayed conversation to finally resolve what should have been a simple process. The attitude of the general manager in particular was quite extraordinary in how atrocious it was. It then took my wife a further 3 conversations to settle a very small compensation which the management very grudgingly accepted. Once again, they were evasive and difficult to deal with. The reception, bar, room service staff we all absolutely fantastic. The hotel and facilities are also fantastic. The roof top bar is to die for – it’s amazing. However, given the management who are so patronising, evasive and combative there is absolutely no way I could recommend staying here. It's on the rare occasion things don't go to plan you need their help...and they were very far; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Crown Inn; City: Stornoway Isle of Lewis Lewis and Harris Outer Hebrides The Hebrides Sco; Review: Having read a few reviews of The Crown we thought we'd be safe for a night...but alas no. On arrival to a we were facing a very square, unappealing white box of a building and desperately hoped it would be better inside, but it wasn't. The only reason this doesn't get a 1-rating is the really nice girl behind reception who was welcoming an very friendly. But she gave us the key to Room 1 and then told us the TVs werent working. Bearing in mind this was Stornoway on a Sunday night, that did not bode well as there is absolutely zero else to do. But we went to the room to find the door lock didn't work (it took several minutes of wiggling every time we needed to open), the wifi didn't work, the bathroom absolutely stunk of something I don't know what and the temperature was through the roof. So, I then tried to open the window to let some air in and found that some genius had put the blind mechanism right in front, so it could open...you couldn't make it up really. We then tried to have a shower and found there was no hot water unless you run the taps for over 10 minutes...and no, that is not an exaggeration. So, if you want believe the reviews and book a hotel that's horrifically ugly with absolutely no mod-cons whatsoever, then crack on and give the Crown a go. But, I really wouldn't if i were you, it really is awful. As for the lovely girl running reception....you really need to go work somewhere else that deserves you.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Invergarry Hotel; City: Invergarry Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: I feel a wee bit sorry for the poor Invergarry. It's probably seen as that pretty hotel on the road to those more interesting island places. But the pretty little Invergarry stands on it's own two feet and definitely deserves to be the destination, not the stop-off. The welcome was great and after being shown to our nice little room at the top of the hotel, we went down for dinner and were served a fabulous dinner by lovely staff. We then relaxed in one of the lovely little lounges downstairs. Breakfast was excellent and the porridge was as nice as I've ever had!! Overall, our one night was excellent but did feel a wee bit guilty heading somewhere else, when this was so nice and with so much to do in the local area. So, go on give yourself a treat and dont make this just a stop-off...give the Invergarry Hotel the little bit of attention it definitely deserves! We definitely will in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Villa Gianlica; City: Praiano Amalfi Coast Province of Salerno Campania; Review: I would say that our stay at Villa Gianlica is one of the best holiday experiences we have ever had. The 8-room hotel is absolutely immaculate and beautifully looked after. The rooms are spacious and all have lovely sea-views, the pool and lounging areas are classy and comfortable and the area where you can have breakfast, lunch or evening drinks is stunning. The sea view while sitting having breakfast is spectacular. The breakfasts are a pretty standard, but perfectly fine continental fare with omelettes and eggs cooked to order. But the lunches Pepe cooks up are amazing. The pasta with ingredients picked from the garden are absolutely superb. The carbonara and bolognaise pasta are particular highlights, but everything that came out looked fantastic. But what makes Gianlica tick and feel so special is the quite amazing Angelica, who co-owns and runs with her father. She is unbelievably efficient, welcoming and warming as well as elegant, charming and super-friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and she uses her local knowledge to arrange restaurants, trips, tours and pick-ups for all her guests. She recommended some places none of us would find and all done with a smile and cheery ‘prego’. If you want somewhere as a base to explore the Amalfi Coast, or just spend a few days chilling and relaxing in beautiful surroundings, knowing there will be no stress or issues with the accommodation or arrangements, Villa Gianlica is perfect. And if you are tempted to book different nights Amalfi, Positano or Sorrento I actually wouldn’t bother. Everywhere is eminently reachable by car, bus, boat or taxi and as long as you don’t mind a few stairs and the odd walk up a hill, Praiano and Positano have more than enough great restaurants to satisfy a good few days. And I think you would struggle to find many places along that coast as fabulous a Villa Gianlica.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chalet Rosset; City: Tignes Savoie Auvergne Rhone Alpes; Review: We've been skiing in Tignes for the last 15 or so and this is the best place we have stayed so far, by a long way. The chalet/hotel itself is perfectly placed in the middle of Tignes Le Lac and minutes walk from slopes and connection to all parts of the resort. The rooms are bigger than most ski chalet, comfortable and clean. The restaurant is comfortable and the bar up on the 3rd floor is lovely, with great views over the lake and fingers. The boot room is also one of the best I've used with plenty heaters for all the boots, but the best part about the chalet is the pool and spa. It's a superb facility with lovely little sauna and steam rooms. Fergus runs his team with real efficiency and they are all super-helpful and great natured. Be unfair to single anyone out but Sam up in the bar is a top lad with real wit and charm. Finally the food is plentiful and really well cooked by the small kitchen staff. Not sure why there are comments about the breakfast being small, as there is loads to chose from and really well cooked. The afternoon tea is huge and dinners cooked really well and tasted lovely. The only small complaint i would offer is we would have like at least one local Savoyard dish like tarteflette or raclette in the evenings....especially given how hearty, cheap and easy they are to make. But that is a small niggle in what was a superb week. Thanks to Fergus and all the team, it was a brilliant week and will definitely try and get back next year.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Heathbank; City: Isle of Barra Outer Hebrides The Hebrides Scotland; Review: We actually only booked the Heathbank as we couldn't get two nights in the Castlebay when initially looking at staying in Barra, but now regretting only staying for one of our two nights on the island. The greeting was friendly and welcoming from the owner Marion and that hospitality continued throughout our stay. The room (5) was modern, spacious and really well fitted out with a large bathroom and lovely shower. When we went down for dinner, we were early so sat at the bar as the restaurant was really busy with many locals and the food going out all looked amazing. Marion was the host with the most and she and the other young server managed to balance the bar and food service amazingly, while still making us feel at home. When we did sit down to dinner the fish was sensational and found out it came from the boats which were based less than 1/2 a mile away...doesnt get any fresher or tastier. We also had local cheese and homemade desserts which were amazing. Breakfast was also really hearty and well cooked. Cant thank Marion and the rest of the staff enough. And if you aren't sure whether to stay in Castlebay or the Heathbank, I'd definitely go for the Heathbank. Castlebay is only 10 mins away and there are taxis on the Island if you feel the need to go in. (and the Heathbank is cheaper, which itself is incredible!); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Castlebay Hotel; City: Isle of Barra Outer Hebrides The Hebrides Scotland; Review: At £160 a night, I would expect something pretty special but the Castlebay hotel is just 'nice' and at best average. The bar and restaurant areas downstairs are quite nice, but the restaurant is really brightly lit and not overly inviting to spend a relaxing evening. And around reception there is no door into the office and its a complete mess - its a pretty unwelcoming and odd set up to see when you first arrive. The room (10) itself was nice enough but there are no BBC channels on the TVs, which was annoying when we wanted and early night to watch Glastonbury on TV. To be fair, the view is good. The breakfast was great, although they really need to turn the music down a bit - there really is no need for it to be that load! And the bar next door is actually really nice with some locals singing and playing instruments - definite plus points there. Overall i would like to give it a better score but with quite a few annoyances, its difficult to, particularly given how much we were charged. By comparison we paid £120 for the Heathbank hotel just up the road and it was spotless, welcoming with amazing food. That £40 definitely drops the Castlebay down considerably against expectation and value for money. Sorry, wont be back...know exactly where we're going when we come back to Barra.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Westbourne Hyde Park; City: London England; Review: We stayed in the Westbourne due to its proximity to Paddington, Hyde Park and Lancaster Gate Tube. The welcome was great and the reception and bar are spotless and really nicely furnished. The room itself is standard small size for London, but where it scores highly is the little kitchenette area which has a fridge, hob, kettle, coffee maker and microwave. Super handy if you are staying for a few days. The beds are super comfy and bathroom really nicely kitted out with a great shower. The bar is great and anywhere that does bottles of Bottega Processco for under £25 in London is always going to be a winner. So for comfort, price, value for money and location this is a great little hotel and highly recommend it...will definitely come back next time we're in London.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Corsair and Cross Rip Oceanfront; City: Dennis Port Dennis Cape Cod Massachusetts; Review: We stayed at the Cross Rip part of the hotel for 4 nights over Labor Day weekend and had a pretty mixed experience, which is unfortunate as we really wanted to like the place. First thing to note is that this is two separate hotels badged as one. We never ventured over the Corsair so cant comment on any of the rooms or facilities there, but would recommend you clarify exactly where you are staying and what you are going to get when booking. Our room (209) in the Cross Rip is one of the value rooms and is on the ground floor looking into the pool. Unfortunately it's dark, pretty cramped and completely over looked both at the front and if anyone is using the grill space at the back and as a result our shades were down the entire stay. There is little room for two people to negotiate in the room with the furniture and the full size fridge is a great idea unless you want no sleep as it's so noisy. Worst of all is the lack of sockets. There is one down behind the table on one side of the bed and that's it. I had to put the coffee maker on the floor underneath the fridge/microwave and use one of those to make a coffee. But they have free Wifi which is very good. I think less would be more in these rooms and not sure they need all the kitchen devices or even the table. On the plus side the bed was super-comfy. On the plus side the facilities on-site are great but again somewhat frustrating. The pool and spa are small but lovely and the access to the beach and beach itself are great with loads of loungers. I disagree with those who say it's small - not sure what size they need!? The outdoor bar area is great and really comfortable and Ian the barman is super-charming and really efficient. But frustratingly the bar was closed one of the nicest days we were there. I get they close it when the weather is poor as it was one of the days, but the sun was shining and hot so no idea what was going on. Does make it a bit of a gamble if you are out and want to come back and relax by the bar before dinner. But most variable and frustrating of all was the attitude of the owner/manager Mark. Given the privacy issues mentioned above we spoke to the front desk and they sent the lovely maintenance man Gary to see what he could do. He (not us!) suggested adding a temporary privacy screen to the back separating ours and neighbouring rooms. Mark came to our room and dismissed the idea and said it wasnt needed or warranted and in the process made us sound like problem guests. The following day, my wife couldnt get the door to lock so Michelle the cleaner reported it (again not us!) and again Mark intervened and told us it wasnt faulty, yet; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sensimar Resort Riviera Maya; City: Puerto Aventuras Yucatan Peninsula; Review: I’ll begin by saying how surprised I am at some the negative reviews on here, especially those regarding the staff at the El Dorado Sensimar. Having travelled and actually lived in hotels for some extended periods, I can honestly say I have never encountered such exception, and importantly, consistent customer service anywhere. On arrival we were greeted with cool towels and a glass of fizz. Check-in and explanation of the resort was friendly and super-efficient and we were taken to our room (via a visit to the staff ATM!) by golf buggy. Our room was (110 in the Premium Block) was spacious, clean and really well stocked, with a mini-bar full of water, soft drinks and beer. The pools and beach area are lovely and although not a huge expanse of sand, there is enough to wander along and paddle in. The grounds are immaculate and feel lovely to wander round as it’s a spread-out resort of low-rise buildings. Although it looks big on plans, it takes no time to walk round it all. The choice of restaurants is amazing, and i think the a la carte ones would all able to sit comfortably as a paying high end restaurant in any city centre…these are no run of the mill all inclusive restaurants! Highlights are the new Klay Talay and Mia Casa restaurants and the Seaside Market buffet which caters for all kind of tastes with a selection that changes daily. We were only there for a week and never went to a couple of the restaurants but everyone we spoke to were universal in their praise of the food offering. At breakfast and lunch we went to the two options down by the beach for lovely views and fresh air. The Guacamayas bar offers entertainment most nights and a couple of the bands playing were absolutely fantastic and the Mexican night on Wednesdays was a great night with live Mexican music and market stalls to wander round. Overall the evenings as just as good as the days by the pool or down at the beach. Yes, there probably could be more sunbeds round the pools, the premium swim-ups only get sun until 2:30ish and the towel on bed and not using policy could be better 'policed'…but these are minor gripes as there always plenty sunbeds down by the beach. But I will finish where I started and say the staff were consistently the best I have ever experience. I’ve never said Hola and smiled so many times in my life, Karisma and Sensimar really have got this right and should be very proud. And, don’t take my word for it – we spoke to dozens of our fellow guests over the week and never encountered a single dissenting or disgruntled voice. We will definitely look forward to returning...and that says it all for me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Le Vieux Castillon; City: Castillon du Gard Gard Occitanie; Review: Le Vieux really is fabulous in every way. The hotel is set in the beautiful little village of Castillion Du Gard a a perfect place for exploring the Pont du Gard and Chateuneuf wine region. It's unusual layout is exceptionally and thoughtfully decorated with a lovely courtyard and raised pool area with views over the vineyards. The rooms are lovely and very comfortable. Th restaurant, while expensive, serves lovely well prepared food. If you dont want to go for the expensive breakfast option, there is a lovely baker on the same little street selling amazing pastries etc. My only little complaint would be the pool did a bit more attention as there were quite a lot of dead insects and leaves floating but that should be easily fixed. Will definitely look to come back as it is a very lovely hotel indeed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mas de l Oulivie; City: Les Baux de Provence Bouches du Rhone Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: We stayed for 4 days as part of a wider trip and hoped we could use this as a base to visit west Provence, the carmargue etc. The Good: The staff are exceptional and all very friendly. The service was always on hand to help. The grounds are lovely and the interior of the hotel are really nice. Relaxing by the pool in the olive grove is lovely. The food is also very nice but is rather limited at night (see not so good), however, what we did have was very nice indeed. The fact you can choose from an a la carte breakfast menu is also really useful if you don't need or want a 23 euro breakfast. Not So Good: We can't speak for the other rooms but room 40, which is 'standard' room is tiny, with little room to negotiate two people and two suitcases, particularly when you are here as part of a wider trip and don't necessarily want to unpack. The hotel is quite far from any restaurants and certainly not walking distance, which means at night if you want to eat out the hotel, you really do need to drive as there are no taxis. And given the hotel only do cold platters in the evening, it means you have little choice but to drive. Finally, the swimming pool is absolutely the coldest pool I have ever been in!! I'd like to give them full marks as they are very lovely people but please book with open eyes and know what the downsides are with location and evening options.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: La Villa Douce; City: Rayol Canadel sur Mer French Riviera Cote d Azur Provence Alpes Cote d; Review: The Villa Douce is perched high on the hill above Rayol and is an absolutely beautiful place to spend a few days. The reception is clean and classy with those attending extremely helpful and attentive. The room we had (208) was very nicely laid out and had a huge balcony/terrace with amazing views over the sea. The bar and dining area down by the pool are lovely and a really relaxing place to spend lunch, dinner or just a few drinks. And the pool itself has loads of space and loungers for relaxing and it's temperature is perfect for a swim or cooling dip. We ate breakfast, one lunch and two dinners and all were very good.Breakfast is a continental spread but of great quality. The lunches and dinners are off a small but very classy menu and all served beautifully. All in all I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough as it is really classy, comfortable and a beautiful place to spend a few days by the sea. The staff are also absolutely exceptional (with maybe one exception - see below) I do have one suggestion and one small niggle though: Suggestion - there is a shuttle car with takes you up and down the hill during the day if required, which is a fabulous service, but it does stop at 19:30. I fully understand the logistic of extending this at night, but a very limited service to pick up from one of the restaurants down the hill between 22:00 and 23:00 would be great as there are no taxis. And, the only member of staff who did not shine like the rest was the bar/restaurant manager down at the pool. I absolutely cannot say he was rude as he wasn't, but he came over as rather aloof and quite dismissive. In three days he never once smiled at us and it was almost like he didn't like us asking questions of even ordering food/drink. And I only mention it as he is such a stand-out from the rest of the staff who were absolutely wonderful. But thank you - we will definitely look to return when in the area again.,; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Mulino di Firenze; City: Florence Tuscany; Review: We stayed at Il Mulino for 7 nights and really loved it. The hotel is quite new, although styled to look like it’s been there for ages and the look works really well. Its set in a quiet location right next to the Arno river with lovely grounds, views and a fabulous swimming pool and area for relaxing. The hotel is about 7kms out of the city but there is a free shuttle bus that runs three times in the morning and 3 times in the evening (both directions). That makes it a great option for those who want access to the city but some peace and quiet. There are plenty taxis in Florence itself if you want to stay out late and it's about 20 Euros from the city to the hotel. We were in one of the upstairs rooms and it was large, comfortable with a great view over the river. The restaurant, breakfast and bar areas are all really nice, although the restaurant does get a lot of mosquitos in the evening, so make sure you spray up. The staff are all really lovely and super helpful and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. My only minor gripes would be: the bedrooms could do with more drawer / storage space as even though it was a large room, there were little places to store clothes when unpacking. And the evening restaurant menu was relatively limited and didn’t change all week and they don’t offer new or daily specials, which would be nice. We actually thought the lunch menu offered better choice, so combining both would be nice, especially as we were there all week. Overall I would highly recommend a stay at the Mulino as it’s super comfy, pretty classy and a great option for exploring Florence and the surrounding area without the craziness of the city itself. Grazie mille!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beach Palace; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Stayed at the Beach Palace with a group of 8 adults in April and had an absolutely fantastic time. The hotel itself is immaculate and really nicely laid out. The rooms are spacious and well equipped with great balconies and views over the beach or lagoon. The restaurants are lovely, although with the steak place being outside it can be really windy and noisy as the poolside entertainment is not so far away…and to be honest, the steaks weren’t the best. However, Wok (Asian), Bocelli (Italian) and the buffet were all absolutely fantastic. The quality of the food overall is sensational and the service is 2nd to none. The pool areas are all really well laid out and the beds down by the beach are great for diving into the sea to cool off and watch the world go by. I don’t normally do this but have to name some of the exceptional staff who really made this a fantastic week. Jorge in buffet, although just in his first week he was super-friendly and a credit to the attitude and training of the new team. Gabby doing the omelettes in the morning was lovely. Dante and Epifanio in Bocelli and Raphael in Wok were all absolute stars and all served our fairly demanding big group with real humour, grace and huge efficiency. Roger at the pool bar was always busy and super-efficient and Daniel keeping us in drinks all week by the beach…maybe came around a little too often for my liver’s liking, but who ever complained about that! And Armando in the Sky Bar just keep em’ coming with a big smile on his face. All in all, we absolutely loved our stay at the Beach Palace, and while the surroundings etc are all lovely, it’s all down to the service, staff and food which were in the main, exceptional. We only had one very minor blip in the steak restaurant, but all is forgiven. This is our 2nd time in Mexico and this incedible service seems to be the way of things here, which i absolutely love and we will definitely be back. Muchas Gracias!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Handlery Hotel San Diego; City: San Diego California; Review: We stayed early June 2012 on recomendation from travel agent. The hotel is situated within short drives to attractions (zoo, seaworld & uss midway). I would recommend that if staying here you do have a car, they do charge $12 pday to park but it is in a secure carpark. The rooms were clean though not over spacious. The pool complex nice with the kids enjoying it. No wifi in rooms, you had to go down to restaurant/reception, also to use the computers you had to pay extra. We had a contential brekkie included and that was good. The hotel is nice and quiet so good night sleeps had by all.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Eton Bed Breakfast; City: Brisbane Brisbane Region Queensland; Review: Booked this property as we knew other people staying there at the same time. Booking was easy and information to check in received by email just before arrival as it is unattended. Rooms and whole house very clean. As it is not serviced I did have to ask for new towel 2 days into our 5 day stay which was happily given by cleaners though not the norm. Our room& ensuite though very small was adequate, had small fridge but small TV had no signal. Was pleasantly surprised that with it being right next to train tracks and main roads house was quiet and we slept well. Very central. Parking at back, however if more than 3 cars you could be jammed in. All cupboards in kitchen locked. Plastic plates in rooms and coffee mug. No laundry area to speak of. House is in 3 levels with steep steps to kitchen area. Positive stay though wouldn't recommend if staying more than 2 nights.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bali Mandira Beach Resort Spa; City: Legian Kuta District Bali; Review: I visited the Mandira on the 31 October 2013 with my Mum as we were attending a friends wedding. The check in was smooth and on arrival we had been upgraded to a garden room which was upstairs so had a little balcony, very nice. The complex was very nice, pool beautiful and staff very friendly. We had brekkie each day and that was great, real nice banana pancakes :) The wedding was Sat arvo, omg what a beautiful setting for the nuptials and then we moved to the other side of resort for wedding dinner. Lots of food and it was beautifully presented. WE did have a thunder storm later that night but no worries we all moved into the upstairs bar and carried on there. There is lots of shops, restaurants and bars in walking distance to hotel but if you want to go into Kuta it costs about $4.00 by taxi. Check out was just as smooth and we left with happy memories; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cedar Creek Lodges; City: Tamborine Mountain Scenic Rim Brisbane Region Queensland; Review: Check in was easy,we stayed in a twin room (2 double beds) room was clean and tidy with small table and chairs out front for you to sit and relax in.

Breakfast was included in our room rate and the food was good, yummy pancakes:) To get from accommodation to restaurant you have to go down steps and then walk down driveway, thou steps are lit driveway is not so walking back after dinner and wedding it was very hard to see, no lightening in main carpark either.

It is on a busy intersection so did get some noise and there is a nightclub behind so could hear music maybe if higher up you wouldn't get this. Underground carpark is free and very secure.

Title: Quest Newmarket Serviced Apartments; City: Auckland Central North Island; Review: We stayed here recently for 2 nights. Check in easy and for a minimal charge allocated car parking.

If we stayed again we would request road side not track side as I think you wouldn't notice noise then.

Title: Cambridge Lodge Guest House; City: Stanmore New South Wales; Review: I booked a family room and a twin room as I was travelling with my 2 boys (aged 17&12), a friend and my Mum for 7 days.

Free WiFi (slow at times but I or my boys weren't complaining) which is such a bonus when you want to reference places to go. Breakfast supplied, thou basic again was all we needed. You can cook your own meals which we did occasionally & everything was there that you needed. The staff are awesome, so friendly & happy to help ( they gave us extra blankets as Sydney having cols snap). It's super close to Stanmore Train Station so that made getting around so easy.

Title: Porta Faenza; City: Florence Tuscany; Review: We stayed for 3 nights with our sons 19, 17 & 14. We originally booked into quadruple room (thru travel agent) which was nice and roomie but as it meant 2 boys had to share a bed (queen, single and pull out couch) we grabbed a double room for the last 2 nights. The staff were really friendly and accommodating of our request. The free breakfast was good thou basic but finally got a good cappuccino that was hot. Quadruple room had a PS2 in room with games and vidoes available in foyer so great to keep kids amused. Brilliant location as 10min from train station so able to jump a train to Pisa easily for the day...also hop on/hop off bus goes from train station as well. There is an awesome restaurant on corner which we loved for dinner and reasonable. Would happily stay here again and happily recommend to others.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Bear Motion (TM) 100% Genuine Leather Case for iPad2 / iPad 3 (the new iPad); Brand: Bear Motion; Review: Was looking so forward to receiving this case based on reviews, especially when I read that the color was a beautiful golden mustard and not a garish yellow. Well, that's only partly true for mine. The interior leather is a beautiful muted gold, very elegant. But the outside is a different (and awful) color entirely. It's a school bus yellow that looks cheap and almost painted. So disappointed that the leathers aren't consistent. Had the whole case been in the same lovely leather as the interior (the leather that "frames" the screen) I would be delighted with the case. As it is, I'm not sure I can carry it around.

It keeps slipping from my hand and I get so frustrated that I then start looking for my old one. Since I had discarded the box and the cover, I don't think I can return it just like that. I shall, therefore, keep it just as spare knives. I did write to Eli but haven't got any response from her yet. Also, I don't know how to sharpen these blades once they get blunt. I would suggest future buyers to look for stainless steel stuff from Hamilton or Cuisinart or some other product. A knife needs to have a good grip and this one is just missing that.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: mushroom walnut loaf vegetarian meatloaf copycat from the spot; Review: This was AMAZING! I've been vegetarian for almost 10 years, and have searched and searched for a good veg meatloaf recipe to no avail until now because this is it! Everyone in my family loved it, despite some of us not really loving mushrooms. But I chopped them up really small vs. just slicing them. I used short grain brown rice, which I think really gave it the correct texture. YUM! I halved the recipe for my first attempt and baked it for the same amount of time in an 8x8 pan. Next time, we'll make the 9x13, as the leftovers were good too! The gravy is great touch on top too. Thanks for posting!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | food |

Title: Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams (3rd Edition); Author: Visit Amazon's Tom DeMarco Page; Review: This book is written by consultants for managers, rather than by programmers for programmers, but is a good read nonetheless. De Marco and Lister are definitely suits, but have clearly seen a lot of software projects succeed and fail. The best bit of the book is their statement that, while they can't make up a list of things that guarantee success, it's easy to make a list of things that will guarantee failure (and it's a rare project that doesn't score at least 50% against that list). It's small enough to be read in a single cross-country flight, and they write well enough to make that reading enjoyable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rapid Development: Taming Wild Software Schedules; Author: Visit Amazon's Steve McConnell Page; Review: I wish someone had given me McConnell's first book, "Code Complete", when I first started programming for a living. Similarly, I wish I'd been given "Rapid Development" when I first started to manage software projects, and other programmers. His survey of software project management issues and techniques is thorough, readable, well-organized, and 100% relevant to small software development teams (which is where most of us work).

Title: Understanding ActiveX and OLE: A Guide for Developers and Managers (Strategic Technology); Author: Visit Amazon's David Chappell Page; Review: Well written (despite an occasional tendency to bang Microsoft's drum); programmers should read this, and use it as a road map, before diving into the technical details.

Title: How Buildings Learn: What Happens After They're Built; Author: Visit Amazon's Stewart Brand Page; Review: I've hesitated to review this book because I'm personally suspicious of glowing praise. However, this book deserves it. Brand's starting point is the observation that most architects spend most of their time re-working or extending existing buildings, rather than creating new ones from scratch, but the subject of how buildings change (or, to adopt Brand's metaphor, how buildings learn from their use and environment) is ignored by most architectural schools and theorists. By looking at examples (big and small, ancient and modern), Brand teases out patterns of re-use and change, and argues (very convincingly) that since buildings are going to be modified many times, they should be designed with unanticipated future changes in mind. Of course, the same is true of programs, and I found again and again that I could substitute the word "program" for "building", and "programmer" for "architect", everything Brand said was true of computing as well (but much better written than any software engineering polemic I've ever read).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Software Runaways: Monumental Software Disasters; Author: Visit Amazon's Robert L. Glass Page; Review: ...Most of this book consists of reprints of articles about particular runaway projects, including the Denver airport baggage handling system, the FAA's next-generation Air Traffic Control system (which replaced single keystrokes with 12 or more mouse clicks), and Bank of America's MasterNet. Some of this is interesting, but only some, and only somewhat; there is very little analysis, except in the introduction (which is worth reading).; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

The staff were both courteous and friendly, and more to the point verey helpful. We ate in the restaurant, two breakfastsa (excellent) and two dinners (very good and excellent value) The hotel was situated close to Raffles and only a short bus ride from the bay and Chinatown.

Title: The Great Southern Hotel; City: Sydney New South Wales; Review: We stayed here following a cruise, so we were probably hoping for better. The hotel premises are old and the rooms are showing their age and are quite small. the area is a little tackywith a few dubious outlets. But the staff were excellent and the local businesses were just as good. George street is the main thoroughfare so turtn left and keep on walking (1+ miles) to get to cental quay and even less to Da\rling Harbour. the monorail is fairly close so travelling is easy. We ate dinner in the hotel on one occasion, the steak, chips veg and accompaniments were excellent, even the dining area resembled a cafeteria.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Continental Hotel Budapest; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: We have just returned from a wonderful 4 day/ 3 night break in Budapest The hotel was excellent, very clean and all the staff were very helpful. We ate in the Araz restaurant three times and the food was exquisite, the restaurant director is to be congratulated on the quality of the food. The menu offers both french and hungarian dishes and I recommend the savarin from the french dessert menu! The maitre d' and the sommelier were both very helpful. I suffer from an allergy to garlic which obviously makes eating out quite difficult, but the staff could not have been more helpful. We did not want a full breakfast so opted each morning for coffee and cake in the cafe/bar. Superb selection of cakes! The reception staff were all very courteous and spoke excellent English. I forgot to take an adaptor with me and one was readily supplied. As we had a standard room ( very nice, superb bathroom ) we had to ask for a tray with tea and coffee making equipment and this was brought up in a matter of minutes. This is the first time that I have ever felt the need to write a review of any sort so congratulations Continental Zara, can't wait to come back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

The accomodation is spacious, clean and well presented, An excellent breakfast is provided and available at a reasonable cost. We have found that we prefer Premier Inn facilities to those provided by similar budget hotels and in particular this one is located in a very pleasant spot.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Room Mate Aitana; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: This is a very new hotel with a modern design and decorations, our room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the storage facilities were adequate for a one week stay. The bathroom again was spacious and the shower was larger than most we have encountered. The room was equipped with a safe, a television, a mini-bar refrigerator, an ironing board and iron as well as a kettle with coffee and tea sachets; five star facilities in a very comfortable room. The hotel is only a 10 minute walk from the main centre of Amsterdam, it overlooks a marina and yet it is quiet at night We stayed on a Bed and Breakfast package purchased through an agent in the UK, and very pleased we were. The breakfast was excellent; there was a great variety of items both hot and cold to choose from, real fruit juice and absolutely splendid freshly baked bread and rolls. Throughout our stay all the staff we encountered were friendly, courteous, helpful and professional, and helped to make our visit memorable, we would not hesitate to stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Esseborne Manor; City: Hurstbourne Tarrant Andover Hampshire England; Review: We stayed at this hotel on a mid-week break with friends using a travelzoo voucher and had a brilliant time. The rooms were quite spacious and very warm and the bathroom was decorated in a classical style but had top notch facilities. The shower was big enough for two ! The deal consisted of a cream tea upon arrival and a seven course tasting menu on the first night, with bed and breakfast for two nights. As the food was so good on the first night we chose to eat there on our last night also. The chef served up some imaginative food, all presented exquisitely and the portion size was generous to say the least! You can choose from a seven course vegetarian menu too, which I did for one of the courses. The management team must make sure that they hold onto the chef, he really is talented. The hotel has a main bar, a sitting room and a library so there is always somewhere comfortable to relax. The reception area is small but adequate and I understand that they also have conference facilities. I would certainly return to the Esseborne Manor hotel and would recommend it highly to others. Try it, you will love it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Angel Hotel; City: Pershore Worcestershire England; Review: We have just returned from an enjoyable two night stay at the Angel Hotel. We stayed in a standard room which was only just big enough and was furnished quite simply, however it was comfortable, spotlessly clean and the wifi was very good. Unfortunately it was located above the kitchen and consequently was subjected to extractor fan noises early in the mornings. We ate dinner there on both evenings, the food was cooked and presented to perfection and was delicious. The staff were very friendly, courteous and helpful. In particular the chef prepared a shank of lamb especially for my wife who has a food allergy. So, many thanks to the staff of The Angel Hotel and we look forward to seeing you again next year.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Royal Garden Hotel; City: London England; Review: In an excellent location, virtually alongside Kensington Park and Palace and only few minutes walk from the underground station it is ideally situated.

The Park Terrace restaurant serves excellent food cooked and presented beautifully, all in all an excellent hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: B B La Via della Giudecca; City: Syracuse Province of Syracuse Sicily; Review: What a gem of a place! This delightful B & B is tucked away in one of Ortigia’s narrow back streets, next to a small church and opposite a local tavern. We booked a superior room and were given a lovely family apartment, with a double bedroom, single bedroom, sitting room with a fully equipped kitchen and large bathroom. The only wardrobe is in the single bedroom and the safe is situated inside the wardrobe. There were masses of drawers but I had to hang one of my dresses from the shutter in the single bedroom as it was too long for the hanging space. Not a problem! The walls, drapes, shutters, sofa and chairs were all white so as you walk into the room you get a feeling of coolness. The air conditioning unit is sited on the outside wall in the sitting room and as such is perfect for that room but you couldn’t really feel the effects in the bedroom. There were two Juliet balconies in the sitting room, one in the bathroom and one in the main bedroom. With these all open there was a nice through breeze. Our apartment was number 10 and was up two flights of marble stairs. There is excellent WIFI throughout and two computer terminals in the sitting room which guests can have the use of. The sitting room, reception area and breakfast room, are all decked out in the cool white linen used in the bedrooms. The breakfasts were superb with an excellent choice of cold meats, cheeses, fruit, cakes, pastries, cereals. It is the only hotel that I have ever stayed in that had a menu of different mozzarella cheeses! Fantastic! All the breads, pastries, cold meat etc. were all local produce. The waitresses brought out your coffee, tea, juice at your request. This was probably the best breakfast that we have experienced abroad. The staff are amazing, nothing was too much trouble. Not all of them could speak good English but that didn’t matter. Roberta, the manageress, is a lovely lady who helped us out in several ways. Not least coming to our rescue when we were unable to follow her instructions to get to the B & B because of road works! She walked to where we were stranded and guided me to her road so that we could drop off our luggage, grazie mille Roberta. Fortunately there was a parking space about 30/40 metres from the B & B and I could leave the hire car there for the extent of our stay. Public parking is quite a problem on the island and I would have had to negotiate the narrow, windy back streets to find a car park if that space had not been there. We would have no hesitation in recommending this gem of a place to anyone wanting to visit Syracuse. You will not be disappointed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Massimo Plaza Hotel; City: Palermo Province of Palermo Sicily; Review: This very pleasant hotel is sited in a pedestrian area between 10am and 8pm. The hotel sent us very explicit instructions on how to drive into the area between these hours and drop off our luggage. Luggage duly deposited in the reception area, we had to find a parking spot to locate our car until the bellboy,” Peter Two “, arrived on duty to show us where the car was to be parked as the hotel does not have parking on-site. The receptionist, Francesca, was very helpful and efficient, giving us details of local eateries that she recommended nearby. She showed us to our room which was fairly spacious, with a mini bar, lovely bathroom and very attractive thick drapes. The bed was slightly on the hard side but was very comfortable nevertheless and we slept very well. The air conditioning was very efficient and we were very grateful for it as the outside temperatures were averaging about 30 degrees C. The breakfast arrangements were slightly unusual. Apparently most of the guests ate in their room and with only three or four tables in the lounge area we could see why. Francesca asked us to specify a sweet breakfast or a salty one. The sweet breakfast consisted of fruit yogurt, orange juice, toast, sweet rolls and jam, croissants and cake and the salty one consisted of a mixture of meats and cheese together with the rolls, croissants and cake. Fresh coffee was presented already in the cup, not in a cafetiere, so a refill was a bit of a problem, but I am sure that if you rang for more it would have been supplied immediately. We had breakfast in the room on the first morning as we were booked on a trip quite early but had it in the lounge on the two subsequent mornings. The waitress in the lounge was very pleasant and responded to requests for more coffee or juice immediately. We had to specify which breakfast was needed for the following morning when we retired for the night. All in all, a most pleasant stay in a hotel in a prime location directly opposite the Teatro Massimo with a lovely staff and premises. Do stay there, you won’t be disappointed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Whitley Hall Hotel; City: Sheffield South Yorkshire England; Review: Everything about this hotel is just right. The surroundings are beautiful, the premises are elegant, the food is of high quality and the service is exceptionally good. All in all it is close to perfection.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Luxury Bahia Principe Sian Ka an; City: Akumal Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We had read all the reviews for this hotel before we booked and were expecting perfection, but this was not the true picture. The food was very good, in the main, and the service was excellent, and this is the main reason for my rating of four stars. The room was disappointing. Granted, it was the basic garden junior suite, but I did expect more than a two-seater sofa in the room to make it into a junior suite! I found the huge bed to be comfortable and the bathroom was nicely fitted, apart from the wooden surround around the basin. Who thought that polished wood was a suitable fixture for a bathroom? One or two splashes from the sink and it is ruined for ever! The curtains and nets were marked in a couple of places, certainly not what I expect in a luxury hotel, and the end fixings on the patio door had come adrift so that the curtains let in a fair amount of light in that section. However, moan over. The staff certainly made this hotel into a top-rated one. The staff in the buffet were all highly trained and very pleasant and we ate in the buffet very often. The Alux gourmet restaurant on-site was exceptionally good, and here again the staff were superb. We went there twice and each time were very pleased. I would recommend the Dolce Vita restaurant at the Akumal hotel too. The Maitre D' was superb. Upon arrival at the Brazilian restaurant I was informed that there was nothing on the menu that I would be able to eat due to my allergies, but, happily, this was not the case. I have never eaten so much meat in my life! The freshly prepared cuts of meat are brought around on swords, and the waiters cut off slices, all quite theatrical. I liked the golf cart/buggies that transported us around the sites and thought that the drivers were very good. The pool areas were mostly quiet, which suited us very well. Unfortunately it was far too hot to stay around them between 11.00 am and 5.00 pm and the water was not refreshing because it was too warm. There were people in the pool at 9.00 pm when I assume the water was not quite so hot! The reception area/lobby/bar was very pleasant, and occasionally was the recipient of a breeze. The roof of the reception area was very high to make it as airy as possible. The roof areas at the other three family-friendly hotels were thatched to make it look as authentic as possible, and the reception areas were more imposing than at the Sian Ka'an. This was a little odd as the Sian Ka'an is supposed to be the best hotel! The gardens and surrounding countryside are superb, very authentic rain forest, and the gardeners are busy every day. The guy in the reception area selling trips was very knowledgeable too, and we booked two excellent day trips through him. All in all, we had a good holiday, despite the; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn St Neots Colmworth Park Hotel; City: St Neots Cambridgeshire England; Review: There are two Premier Inn hotels in close proximity to each other in St Neots, and we stopped at the wrong one first! We were quickly and pleasantly referred to the correct one and booked in immediately. There is no air conditioning at this hotel, but the staff had very thoughtfully left on a room fan, left the window open and closed the curtains against the sun. The room was very, very warm and the staff had provided a sheet to place on the bed rather than use the thickish duvet that was in place. Nonetheless the room was very warm all night, which was a trifle uncomfortable. The meal deal offered by Premier Inn is very good, and we took advantage of it on our first night. The quality of the food was fine for the three other adults, but sadly my chicken and bacon salad came with red onion, even though I had told the waitress that I was allergic to onion. However, the plate was replaced quite quickly and was fine after that. The shower was easy to use and was efficient but I had a great deal of difficulty turning the sink taps on and off. They had biggish, round tap heads and with my arthritis were almost impossible for me to use. The cleanliness of the hotel was good and the friendliness of the reception staff was excellent. We hadn't booked a dinner time and were fairly late into dinner on the first night and most of the staff seemed a bit fed up at our appearance, although we were there way before the time for the last orders. Breakfast was good and the staff were very pleasant and efficient in the mornings. Would I stay here again? Yes I would, but the hotel should consider putting in air conditioning. Whilst I realise that for 300 days of the tear no air-con is okay, for the warm summer months it is necessary.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Asia Beach Resort Spa Hotel; City: Alanya Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: We stayed for 10 days from the end of September having booked through Secret Escapes in April. We kept up to date with the reviews and was disappointed by some of the comments, so stopped looking! We prefer to make up our own minds about hotels. My husband sent an email to the hotel saying that we would be arriving after midnight and received a very quick and courteous reply from Ilkay Punali, the front of house manager. Our room (3007) was absolutely spotless, as was the corridor leading to the room, so that was a very good start. We were given a piece of paper on arrival which detailed the opening hours of the restaurants,including the details of the once a week a la carte restaurants, spa and where the beach towels were located. All good, except that with Secret Escapes we were supposed to have unlimited access to the a la carte restaurants. My husband met up with Ezgi, the young guest relations lady who asked him to prove this, quite understandable, as we could have been trying to get something for nothing! Upon reading the terms from Secret Escapes she gave him tickets for the Italian restaurant and others for the Turkish restaurant which covered our stay. The two outside pools were very nice, albeit not enormous, and the very large indoor pool was definitely under-used. The water slides into the lower pool were very well used by children and adults alike. There was an underpass to the beach area and the pier/jetty was lovely. There were masses of sun beds and umbrellas for use, both on the beach ( shingle ) and on the pier/jetty. A lovely place to go to sunbathe or swim. We found that the room put by for the late breakfasts was very comfortable, and the spread of breads, pastries, cheeses, cold meat and fruit was most acceptable, but the provision of french fries was a little bewildering! This room proved to be the one put aside for the Turkish a la carte restaurant, which we didn't actually visit. The general buffet was fine if you liked onions, as the majority of the hot dishes on offer were covered in different types of onion. I had a cheese salad and fruit for my lunch and dinner for the first few days, which helped with the diet! My husband always found the fish good. There were plenty of moans from the Western Europeans. However, after a few days we got talking to Ilkay and she asked us our honest opinions about the hotel. We told her that the fabric of the hotel was lovely, apart from one area where there seemed to be a leak, She acknowledged this small building problem and said that repairs were going to be undertaken during the closed season. When Ilkay asked us our opinion of the food, she listened most intently to our comments. Fortunately the head chef was in the vicinity and she called him over to discuss our comments. That night we were very pleased to see; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: B B Alla Rosa; City: Verona Province of Verona Veneto; Review: We had 5 nights at B&B Alla Rosa and had a wonderful time. Perfectly located close to the Piazza Erbe and the Piazza dei Signori, this B&B is right in the middle of the historic centre of Verona. As previously reported, there are 6 flights of stairs to reach the rooms, but boy! is it worth every step. The landlady, Antonella, is a photographer and the fruits of her labours are shown on many walls and work surfaces, along with wonderful photographs of her ancestors. The main door opens straight into the larger of the two bedrooms. This room has a wonderful view of the rooftops and the tower, and has old wooden shutters to close the world out at night. There is a single bedroom opposite the bathroom, so the B&B would easily accommodate three people or a family with a child. Leading from the main bedroom to the other room and bathroom is a corridor filled with travel books, information on local restaurants, bus timetables and general information . Antonella offered us a variety of croissants, yogurt, seeds and fruit, with a carafe of strong Italian coffee for breakfast and asked what time we would like it served. There is a small round table with a couple of chairs set against the wall in the main bedroom and she brought in a wonderful selection every day from her apartment. The quantity and choice was remarkable and really set you up for long days walking around Verona. She had left us some delectable homemade biscuits for our first day as well. We cannot praise the location of the B&B higher, everywhere that the tourist wants to visit is within easy walking distance. You are given a set of keys to the front door and the main door of the building so it really feels like a home from home. Grazie mille Antonella, we shall certainly recommend your B&B to anyone wanting to visit Verona.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Santa Maria Foris; City: Ravenna Province of Ravenna Emilia Romagna; Review: We had a 3 night stay at this well located and reasonably priced hotel, and I wish it had been longer. The man on the reception desk when we arrived was very helpful, letting us leave our luggage in reception as our room wasn't ready, and also letting us use what appeared to be the staff toilet. We had a quick walk around the streets surrounding the hotel and then returned to unpack. Our room (no.10) was very spacious, spotlessly clean with a separate dressing area, a corridor clad in bright blue leading to a sizeable shower room with an absolutely huge shower and a separate toilet and bidet. After unpacking and showering we went out to eat. The air conditioning wasn't hugely effective so I asked the same man if there was anything that could be done about it,and the problem was resolved. The furnishings throughout the hotel are of very good quality, with a cream and black colour scheme everywhere, very classy. We found three lounges, one containing a vast library. There were many black and cream photographs on all the walls of workers from days gone by, an excellent idea and very effective. In the dining room there was the biggest chandelier I have ever seen. Apart from the formal dining room you could take your breakfast to an outside terrace if you so wished. The continental breakfast was excellent and the staff in the dining room were not only efficient but very pleasant and unobtrusive as well. We spoke several times to a lovely young lady on reception (Martina?) whose English was superb. She told us about the history of the villa and also that the very interesting ornate door in the reception area originally came from Thailand. Our entire stay was superb in all aspects and we would love to return. What better recommendation is there?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: East Friars; City: Hereford Herefordshire England; Review: We stayed here in July on a Cathedral tour of the area. Roger and Polly make you feel very welcome and part of their family. The garden annexe was a very quiet room, with a vast library of books and big selection of Roger's art on the walls. There is a huge king sized bed and also a single bed in the room. The breakfast was lovely, with locally sourced ingredients and home-made bread, wonderful. Breakfast is served in a large, bright conservatory with a long table and a smaller table for four to six people. The conservatory overlooks the river and whilst we were staying some guests arrived in canoes. There is a 5 minute walk into town and a two car under cover area of the back garden, although there is room for another few cars. We had several interesting conversations with both Roger and Polly and would like to wish Roger good luck with his art.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Asia Beach Resort Spa Hotel; City: Alanya Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: This was our second stay at the Asia Beach hotel in 13 months, and won't be our last! The weather in Alanya at this time of year is perfect, not scorching as it is in July/August, but wonderful for us Brits. We had rain on one day, but to be honest, it probably did us good to have one day out of the sun! The hotel is still well maintained and clean, which is a tribute to the cleaning and maintenance staff. The hotel was fully booked during our ten day stay, with a lot of families, young couples and more mature guests but there was always somewhere quiet to sit and read should you want to. It was lovely to see Ilkay (guest relations manager) and Tansu again, and know that they would definitely sort out any problems that might arise. There are two new guest relations staff members, who were always walking round talking to, and listening, to the guests and it is very re-assuring to think that your views are taken into account. The management of this hotel is very effective and bearing in mind all the different nationality requirements they are doing an excellent job. We arrived very early in the morning and went to the bar on level minus two for a drink. It's a long way from Antalya airport! There is food available for 23 hours a day and had we been hungry too we would have been adequately catered for. The food has improved enormously since last year and there was always something tasty to eat. The soups, bread and salads are excellent and there was always fish or chicken dishes available apart from the main dishes. The staff in the dining rooms were always very courteous and were pleased to speak to you. It was so good to see Resul and Numan in the dining rooms and Hasan at the main bar again, such lovely people. The dinner time in the evening has been cut down from two and a half hours to two hours, but we didn't ever feel rushed. However, that was not the case in the Italian a la carte restaurant. We had a booking for 7pm. and were out of the restaurant by two minutes to eight, having had four courses! The food was fine but we did feel very rushed. We are hoping to return in September/October next year and will ask for an odd numbered room like we had last year,as we found them to be much quieter. We were in 4010 for this visit and the music from the hotel next door was a trifle intrusive until 11pm. Perhaps it would be better to have families with small children and more mature guests in odd numbered rooms and leave the even numbered rooms at the front of the hotel to the younger element?; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: SmithBuilt Portable Dog Crate Cage - Folding Two-Door Metal Wire Pet & Animal Kennel - ABS Tray Pan; Brand: SmithBuilt Crates; Review: Unfolding the cage is quite simple. It is also nice and sturdy even though the walls don't firmly connect to each other (due to the folding mechanism). We're using the cage as a timeout zone for our one oft-misbehaving cat. The size of the cage works very well for this. It's large enough that the cat can lay down and sleep comfortably, but not large enough for it to really enjoy being in there. Adding in a food and water dish would be a bit much since it would become cramped enough that they would likely get accidentally stepped on and toppled over. There are no sharp edges and both doors work excellently. The latches on each one are well made and work great. I wouldn't use the plastic handle on top while your pet is inside. It feels like it might break with too much weight under it. The plastic liner is nice and thick. My one cat spent a decent amount of time clawing at it and picking up the edge when he was first put in the cage to see if it could escape. The pan held up just fine and if there were ever any accidents it would be easy to clean. The pan has a 1 inch tall lip going all the way around it.

The jar is as full as the picture indicates. It does have a paper toy ball inside that takes up a some space, but it's certainly not a big deal. The jar is just slightly smaller than a large-sized peanut butter containers. We'll definitely be buying this brand again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: PETBROO Heating Pads for Pets, 25.5X15.7IN 2018 Electric Heating Pad for Dogs; Brand: PETBROO; Review: This is about the same surface area as the double-wide cat scratchers. The box is sturdy enough for our 10 pound cat to use. The paper ball toy inside was immediately discovered by our 4 month old kitten. Though, it only took her a few hours before she had extracted the toy from the box. Funny enough is that she still plays with the dangling string that the toy used to be attached to. We'll likely buy another one of these soon. We'll be checking out other KONG Naturals products since their 2-ounce catnip jar also impressed us.. and their products seem to be priced quite low for the quality that they are. Edit: This scratcher lasted about a year with four cats and minimal use. However, it's not the scratching part that wore out.. It was the cardboard frame/ramp. Our smaller cats would crawl inside of the hold and wait for another cat to walk by and then leap from the hole to pounce on the innocent passerby. The other cats became wise to this game and would attack the inside cat from the hole on the other side. Eventually all of this roughhousing was enough to put too much strain on the cardboard joints and it wouldn't stay upright any longer. I suppose if this happened to you then you could tape it all back together. However, for us, the cats really preferred to think of this thing as a box to hide in rather than a scratching post, so we just gave them a new box to play with rather than fixing this one up. If your cats actually enjoy scratching boards then i'd buy this. However, having those holes on the side just seems to entice curious cats toward going inside of it, which will ultimately be its downfall.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Petstages Fresh Breath Mint Stick #335; Brand: Petstages; Review: Smells nice and minty. Doesn't have any loose strings or seems. It's about 4 inches long or so. The cats enjoy it well enough, but i think they'd play with it more often if it were a bit bigger so they could bunnykick it. They seem to prefer their larger catnip-filled banana toys over this one. This one is a bit too big to be the 'bat around' kind of toy and a bit too small to be the 'curl up and kick' kind of toy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Petmate 3 Gallon Pet Cafe Waterer; Brand: Petmate; Review: The jug just kind of rests in place on top of the brown bowl. There's a slight bit of a friction fit, but nothing too strong. We have 4 cats and they all use it without much care. It will make glug sounds when the water gets low enough that it can let air in the jug (and water into the bowl). The cats always pause and stare at it for a while when that happens.. pretty fun to watch them :) If we fill it all the way up then it'll last a couple weeks with four cats. However, that just feels kind of gross to leave water sit around that long, so we usually only fill it a third of the way and change it every week or less. It's also a good idea to wipe it down between fill ups to get rid of any grime that may build up over time. Specifically, if one of the cats drops a bit of food into the water bowl then there will be a slight bit of oil residue around it. Edit: We've had this waterer for roughly 2 years now and it has held up great. The plastic is all still flexible and has yet to become brittle. The cap works just like it did when it was new. None of the four cats have ever acted like they dislike the feeders. Amazingly, one of our cats still is obsessed with the glugging sounds. As soon as we fill it up and set it down she'll sit in front of it to watch it glug... and then sit there for a while longer hoping it'll keep going after it's already done. At first a couple cats would stop drinking stare at it if it glugged while they were drinking.. but now they're all rather unphased by it and just continue on. I can't imagine us needing to buy another one, but if we did then we'd simply buy this one again. We'd also have no hesitation toward recommending a friend to buy one of these. They're great!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Petmate Pet Café Feeder; Brand: Petmate; Review: This works very well. We have 5 cats, so filling up a regular bowl is a bit tedious. This 6 lb feeder makes it much easier. The lid just lightly snaps into place on the top, though the cats haven't messed with it yet. Everything else is as you'd expect. The plastic is strong so we have no fears of it cracking or breaking. Likewise, the junction where the clear part sits on the base has a snug friction fit. We put it in place once and have never had it come loose.. we simply take off the top lid to refill. The food doesn't jam when sliding down. Three of our four cats will just eat from the front edge of the bowl. If that runs low up front then they'll just start grabbing food from close to the jug.. However, one of the cats is smart enough to reach out with her paw and tap the food near the jug.. this causes it the food to slide down and fill up the front of the dish again. Such a smart kitty. Though, one of them just skips all that and always eats from the rear of the basin :) Edit: We've had this feeder for roughly 2 years now and it has held up great. The plastic is all still flexible and has yet to become brittle. The cap works just like it did when it was new. We clean it every 6 months or so just to clean up the oil left behind by the cat food. If you look at it after a cleaning then you'd think it were still new. We'd still recommend this to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to buy this model again if we somehow broke the one we have now. We typically only have to refill it once ever couple weeks with four cats.. and we usually only fill it up half way.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Go Pet Club Brown and Beige Cat House Furniture - 72 in.; Brand: Go Pet Club; Review: This guy has held up for months without any issue. We have 5 cats and most of them use this on a regular basis. The 4-6 lb cats use the hammock quite a bit. The larger 8-9 lb cats haven't bothered with it, so i'm not sure if it'll hold the heavy cats or not. The edges of the hammock are supported by a steel bar, so even if the large cat wanted to use it, they would likely experience some serious discomfort due to not fully fitting down inside and having to rest on the steel bar. As for durability, we haven't noticed any shortcomings at all. We recommend it. EDIT: Still holding strong and we've had it for 1y and 3m. The hammock receives daily use.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: KONG Kickeroo Pattern Catnip Cat Toy; Brand: KONG; Review: We ordered the cow pattern and that's what we got.. however it was Pink with black spots instead of the pictured white with black spots. I could see a single guy being annoyed by the deception. The cat toy is not filled with catnip. Rather, it is filled with standard poly fill that you'd find in a blanket/pillow. This is fine for us since we regularly rub their toys in catnip anyway. Aside from the prior two deceits, the product is well made and the cats enjoy it quite a bit. It's quite long and stuffed very full. The pillow is 11" long and the tail is roughly 7". Edit: It's been about a year and a half since we bought this toy so it's time for an update. We have one cat that absolutely loves this thing. We cover it and catnip and she'll go crazy with it. It receives some fierce bunny kicks and yet it doesn't have a scratch on it. The ribbon was eaten pretty early on, but the tail and body are practically like new. Oh, and it looks like they updated the picture to show that it's actually pink :) If the cats ever do wear this thing out then we'll definitely be buying another one. The build quality is excellent.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |

Title: Brigid of Kildare: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Heather Terrell Page; Review: Wish you could travel to Ireland at a moments notice? Interested in history, religion and culture? Brigid of Kildare fulfills all of those needs with a beautiful style that will sweep you into the early years of Christianity in barbaric Ireland (Gael). Witness the transformation of Saint Brigid as she becomes the strong and forceful Christian warrior that brings Christianity to the rocky shores of Ireland - a county struggling with warring tribes and formidable outside forces - and Decius, a conscious torn scribe on a mission that could tear down the legendary saint and all of her hard work. This book was an absolute delight to read and I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in Ireland, history and especially religion. It's so interesting to see how Ireland's Christianity first came to be and the struggles Brigid faced, personally and politically. Bouncing back and forth from the fifth century to present day, Terrell does a wonderful job keeping the plot understandable and fast-paced all at once. More so, her clear descriptions help you feel the dewey grass of Ireland as you trek alongside Brigid and Decius. A true pleasure to read I highly recommend Brigid of Kildare and look forward to reading Terrell's other works of art. [...]; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Stay: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Allie Larkin Page; Review: This is a fantastically funny and touching story about Savannah "Van" Leone, a twenty-something woman struggling against her unrequited love for her best friend Peter and her jealousy towards Peter's new wife, Jane... who happens to be Van's best friend. Sounds like every other chick lit plot, right? Wrong. Enter Joe - a Slovakian German Shepard Van ordered during a foggy night of Rin Tin Tin reruns and vodka. Van hopes that the small puppy will fill the holes in her heart and help her move past her unrequited love for Peter, her mother's illness, her feelings of inadequacy, loneliness and frustration. Essentially, she hopes that the tiny puppy will fix her life. And in a way, Joe does - even though he is anything but tiny. In the end, Joe, and the vet that saves him time and time again, turn out to be exactly what Van needs - a wake up call. You'll laugh, smile and cringe through the very many twists, bumps, road blocks and ditches Van encounters as she realizes she needs to play center stage in her own life. This is a wonderful book that will have you literally laughing out loud. [...]; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Secret of Everything: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Barbara O'Neal Page; Review: High school provides challenges for everyone and as a "type A" personality I found it hard to deal with all of the obstacles and the one outlet that provided me the greatest relief was baking and cooking. Although I still make time for both pursuits this book brought me back into the kitchen and reminded me of the comfort and confidence that can be found through kneading dough, frying eggs and whipping up a hearty soup. Set in the beautiful mountains of Las Ladronas, New Mexico, Tessa Harlow is a vibrant young woman trying to reconnect with her painful past while healing after a more recent, traumatic loss. In the town of red clay she finds an abandoned dog, an overwhelmed father of three, a welcoming breakfast place and a young girl struggling with her own grief. While Tessa researches a possible tour program set in the town she digs up the past and tries to put together broken memories of her childhood when she lived in a commune close to town. Her father Sam, a hippie holding onto the days without computers and cellphones, tries to warn her of the sadness she'll encounter if she continues to search for the truth of her childhood trauma and worries about the painful aftermath. However, all of the characters eventually learn that they can't run from a past that is so drastically altering their present day lives. Barbara's style is beautiful and lyrical with descriptions that bring you right into the town of Las Ladronas. She helps you feel Tessa's frustrations, fear and heartache while bringing the tragic and passion into your own heart. This is a beautiful book that was inspiring and a true pleasure to read.

Title: Joy For Beginners; Author: Visit Amazon's Erica Bauermeister Page; Review: I love the simplicity of the story: during the celebration of Kate's triumph over cancer the group makes a pact to do one thing that frightens them within the next year, the only catch is that Kate gets to choose. Even though the story is poignant and heart-touching what really got me into the book was how Erica's metaphors dance across the page and pull you into the many moving moments of the book. There are so many metaphors throughout the book that most stories would be bogged down by them, but Joy for Beginners actually thrives off of the life that each metaphor breathes into the story. As touching as Anita Shreve's stories, as beautiful as Tracy Chevalier's books and as emotionally clear as Lolly Winston's, this is a wonderful read any time of the day or year.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Intuition: The Premonition Series; Author: Visit Amazon's Amy A. Bartol Page; Review: Yes, I love to read BUT both Intuition and Inescapable were so amazing that I was/am obsessed with them.

Amazing story, amazing writing, just overall amazing - read it now but beware that you won't be able to put it down.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Whole New You: Six Steps to Ignite Change for Your Best Life; Author: Visit Amazon's Brett Blumenthal Page; Review: Brett's approach to helping you radically and effectively change your life is a breath of fresh air in the Self Help world. It's not preachy. It's not dreamy, pie in the sky. It's definitely not impossible. Rather, A Whole New You is a book that gives you a solid foundation of how to truly change your life, steps to put the change into action, and how to even monitor your progress. Incredibly down-to-earth, this book is meant to help you succeed. I've read a lot of self-help/self-improvement books and after awhile you get tired of the grandiose ideas, flowery language and unrealistic principles/methods/examples. We live in a real world, where it's not necessarily easy to change our habits, lifestyles or entire lives. That's why most books are "fun" at first but leave you feeling empty handed. Yes, there are tidbits of advice and knowledge you can find in most books BUT A Whole New You is radically different. Brett lays out research supporting her method from the very beginning. She creates a community and tribe that gives you a solid foundation for your journey. Then she actually walks you through how to make it happen clearing identifying ways to embrace change and keep it. From identifying the need, to designing your vision and actually creating and implementing the plan, her writing is clear, focused and insightful. She inspires you to make real, exciting changes by being honest with you the entire way. I loved reading her book and found it extremely useful! I have tons of sticky notes, highlighting and pages bookmarked to go back to in the future because it's not a book you forget about in your book case. It's one that you can refer throughout your entire journey and use for support and guidance. It'd be a great gift but it would also be a great investment for yourself.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Case Logic SLRC-201 SLR Zoom Holster (Black); Brand: Case Logic; Review: Fits my D5200 pretty well; but only holds the battery charger in the front pouch.

However, it is very difficult to change between shooting modes, which is a large drawback to this camera. Also, the battery died very quickly while I was out snorkeling, which was very disappointing, beyond belief. I started out with a full battery and in less than 20 minutes of both pictures and a few short videos, it drained without warning. (I had a spare battery, but it does you no good when you are out in the water.); Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Premier Inn Liverpool City Centre; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: I booked online in November and got the room for £35 for our stay 25th april. We stayed in room 201 and this is a small room. There where no plug sockets either side of the bed and two on the opposite side of the room. You can see where existing sockets had been. You can see from the headboard a kings size bed had been there and we had a double. When we woke in the morning the curtains had ting holes all the way down as if something had been eating them. Maybe it's time for a new pair of curtains. The secoundary glassing makes such a loud squeaking noise when it opens so will disturb other quests. Breakfast We paid £8.99 each for all you can eat and this was well worth the price. Variety was vast though bagels where cinnamon and currants so maybe have a plain option. You have to ask if you want extra cutlery so maybe leave it readily available for people help themseleves. Close to all amenities; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Widowed Countess (The Sons of the Aristocracy Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Linda Rae Sande Page; Review: That's all I can say. Too many things to comment on. That one word pretty much sums up the whole book.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Keepsake (The Distinguished Rogues Book 5) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Heather Boyd Page; Review: I don't mind a misunderstanding but this was too much for too long. Miranda deprived her husband of his son for 10 long years. And even when she makes her dramatic return, she never confronts Kit about what caused her to leave and gives him a chance to explain. He has to hear about it from someone else and that's not until the end of the book. Then he has to practically hold Miranda down to explain what really happened. Although he seems to be mostly innocent his explanation of trying to save his friend from ruin by moving her out of sight after Kit and Miranda' s wedding doesn't explain why Kit's hand was on her breast at the time. Now that's a sure fire way of avoiding scandal. Especially while your bride is watching. I also would have preferred Kit being faithful during the 10 years rather than training a woman to be a courtesan and then his mistress. His excuse was he was so heartbroken and this girl reminded him of Miranda. HUH? When he thought Miranda was unfaithful he IMMEDIATELY wrote his solicitor for a divorce. Now that's fair. Ask wife to dance, then before she can answer run off to dance with someone else, then wonder why she's upset. That was another priceless little gem. Are we supposed to admire a man who is that stupid or thoughtless. Letting the attempted murderer go free and live in the country was also a bit hard to swallow. And I don't know that I would have been so quick to forgive attempted murderer's brother. I usually enjoy books by Heather Boyd (I love The Wild Randalls series) but I guess they can't all be winners. I will definitely still look for new titles by this author in the future and hope for the best.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The St Nicholas' Day Wager - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Em Taylor Page; Review: Best novella I ever read. Short, but lots of sweet romance crammed in it (just like I like). My first book by Em Taylor but not my last. Thanks for a very enjoyable evening, Em.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Seduction of Sophie Seacrest: An Unlikely Husband, Book 1 - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Mary Campisi Page; Review: Holt was an unlikely husband/hero. He was a miserable grump who treated Sophie roughly and acted like a brute to her at all times. That was enough to put me off throughout the book. I also like the hero to be loyal to the heroine once an attraction has been established. One of the many times Holt was in a huff for weeks he had relations with not one but several ladies. When he realized they couldn't satisfy him then he wanted Sophie again. Very disappointing. I'm glad this book was free. I would hate to have paid for it. I'm giving it 1 star because a review is not allowed without one.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Say Yes to the Marquess: Castles Ever After - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tessa Dare Page; Review: Oh my gosh, this was so bloody good! Tessa Dare has done it again! A funny, sweet, sexy, (did I say funny?) romance. The story was sheer perfection from beginning to end. My only complaint was that it had to end. I'm not going to recap all the good parts of the story or I'll be here all night. I'm just going to list minor parts in the story that greatly added to the whole. -Bruiser the uncouth fighter/trainer who pretends to be a wedding planner -the running gag with the looking glass/monacle -"cake sounds" -the cake testing/fight -16 pillows on the bed -Bruiser teaching Rafe how to lie -the lie Rafe tells about Bruiser (hysterical!) These are small parts of the story that make no sense out of context now, but were wonderful contributions. If Ms. Dare makes the small parts of the story so enjoyable, imagine how good the big parts are. I guess you'll just have to read the story to find out what I mean. Read it! You won't be sorry. Thank-you Ms. Dare. Impatiently waiting for your next book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Knight's Victory (The Rules of Chivalry Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Eliza Knight Page; Review: The horrible greatly outweighed the good. Beatings, rapes, murder, father turning his back on daughter and knowingly condemning her to a violent marriage, and the list goes on and on. Oh, that's right, the hero and heroine love each other. I guess that makes it ok. I was skipping pages 10 at a time just to get to the end and always landed on something horrible. Like I said, depressing. I loved the whole Stolen Bride Series so I'm hoping this was a fluke. I won't give up on Eliza Knight yet. I guess they can't all be favorites.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Baron's Betrayal (Marriage Mart Mayhem Series Book 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Callie Hutton Page; Review: I'm glad Tristan came back for Marion but his continuous running and pursuit of a divorce got old. If that's all they were going to do for most of the book, I think a novella length would have suited the story better. There were a couple things I would have liked to have seen come to a better end. Marion kept blindfolding herself to "see" what Tristan was going through. I think this should have helped her come up with ideas to help Tristan and have Tristan "see" how much she loved him and wanted to help. Also, Tristan was afraid he wouldn't be able to take care of and protect a family. But when he singlehandedly rescued his unconscious wife from their burning home, nothing was really said. I don't like to be critical, but it felt like it was building toward something and then abruptly stopped. This won't stop me from reading more by this author. I'll just hope for the best.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Ruined; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ruth Ann Nordin Page; Review: The 3 stars are for our hero Logan, otherwise I'd give the story 1 star. Logan is a slightly misguided, but likable character who loves his family. Yes, he traps the heroine, Melissa into marrying him by creating a scandal. However, Melissa is an unforgivng shrew for about 60% of the book. She spends weeks crying nonstop, is angry, and says hateful things. She continues to hide like a child every time he comes over her house. She doesn't soften toward Logan one iota. She even cries about her supposed "lost love" on the way to their honeymoon. Then, in a couple days' time, she does a complete 180, consummates the marriage and declares her love for Logan. I know this is fiction but it was just too unbelievable. Melissa was too steadfast in her hatred for too long for her to change her mind so quickly. She should have been gradually having a change of heart for a much smoother transition. She goes from not being able to stand Logan's touch to letting him pleasure her completely after she gets out of the tub. Her reason for a change of heart seemed to be wholly based on lust while Logan was developing serious feelings for her. He called her "speaking her mind" strength of character. I just call it being rude. Not to mention, she was angry so long I didn't think she deserved Logan when she finally changed her mind. Now lets talk about Melissa's brother, Malcom for a minute. Malcolm is a GROWN man with his own home in the country. If I didn't know this, I might have assumed he was 12 years old. He kidnaps Logan because Logan won't accept his challenge for a duel. Logan refuses to kill Malcolm (even though Logan is deadly with weapons). Logan barely gives him a scratch when he fires his pistol and intentionally DOESN'T kill him. Rather than be grateful he was spared, he continues to act like a whiny baby. He gives dirty looks and makes childish remarks all throughout the book. Then finally, he follows Melissa to Logan's country estate where he throws pebbles at her window to wake her up and tries to sneak her away in the middle of the night. Really? There's a running gag throughout the story where Logan encourages Melissa to throw a book at him. He assures her she'll feel better. I think I would have felt better if someone threw a book at Melissa and Malcolm.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: A Bride for Tom (Nebraska Historical Romances Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ruth Ann Nordin Page; Review: It was already a shorter novella but I found myself skimming and rushing through it to get to the end. Tom was soooooo immature and child-like I just couldn't like him. Shyness, awkwardness and being clumsy are one thing. The way he interacted with his younger brother Joel was entirely something else. Once I envisioned him as a 15 year old it was hard for me to lose the image. I understand why Jessica wanted to break her previous engagement, I just don't understand her immediate attraction to Tom.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Second Chances (Chances Are Series Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tess St. John Page; Review: I gave this book 4 stars because I loved 4/5 of it. It had a great story with good characters and moved at a steady pace until page 207. All loose ends could have been tied into a pretty bow and ended here. But no, my hero, Drake, leaves my heroine, Emma without explanation for a month. Now Emma is wandering and wondering and the story loses its momentum. When Drake gets back, he can't find Emma for 2 weeks, more wandering and wondering. When he finally finds her, all is explained, but I think I would have rather skipped the last 1/5 of the book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: My Dark Duke - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Elyse Huntington Page; Review: I was reading and enjoying as the story progressed at a steady pace. Our hero, James, was falling in love with our heroine, Alethia, from the moment they first met. In fact, things were going so great, and he desired her so much that he fired his mistress (but not before squeezing in a quickie with soon-to-be ex-mistress). HUH?!? I guess we're supposed to forgive him since it wasn't satisfying to him and he realized he wanted to marry Alethea. I'm sorry, but once an attraction is established, I don't want my hero or heroine to be with anyone else. AT ALL! I started skimming a lot to see how it ended before I got rid of it and I was floored. Later in the book, his wife went riding without a groom after promising she would never do this. Big crime, right? Apparently so. Her punishment was to stand by and watch while he had the groom WHIPPED! I don't care if a past tragedy made James feel justified in this behavior, it was barbaric. And, maybe if he had explained the tragedy as his reason for being protective BEFORE he made her promise, Alethia would have been more careful. For the first third of the book I was prepared to give it 5 stars. But the two things I mentioned were enough to ruin it for me. I'm sorry, I don't like to give bad reviews.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: To Mend a Dream: A Southern Love Story - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tamera Alexander Page; Review: I'm not usually a big fan of these quickie novellas. They're too short to squeeze in a lot of story and usually feel choppy and rushed. In this case, NOT SO! I'm not going to bother summarizing a perfect story. Just read it. You won't be sorry. Tamera Alexander is one of my favorite authors. I buy her books the second they're available and she never disappoints. Thank-you Tamera. Looking forward to the next one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Suitor (Short Story) (Survivor's Club Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Mary Balogh Page; Review: I'm at a loss. Philippa was supposed to be such a good girl but her deceit and driving away Viscount Darleigh showed just the opposite. The story could have had the same outcome with her being honest with him. I could picture Darleigh being very understanding and even helpful in getting Philippa and Julian together. Now, instead of being happy with the outcome, I'm left feeling sorry for a blind man, who by all indications sounded like a wonderful man. I also don't think he should have been blind. It didn't help further the story, it just made me feel more sorry for Darleigh. Hopefully, Darleigh gets a happy ending in a later installment.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Christmas Wager: A Happy Christmas Novel - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Delilah Marvelle Page; Review: Too much dealing with voodoo, gypsies, ghosts, magic, etc. I don't mind a little supernatural being implied but the ghost story was too heavy handed for my taste. That's just my personal preference. The quality of Delilah's writing is still top-notch as always, I just didn't enjoy the direction of this story as much. If you don't mind that sort of thing than definitely go ahead and read it. It didn't suit my tastes but it might suit yours.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: A Christmas Dance - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Alissa Johnson Page; Review: Adorably sweet and funny! The cake bit is one of the funniest things I've read in a romance and I loved it. One of the best novellas I've ever read. Plenty of story without feeling rushed. Apparently you CAN have your cake and eat it too!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Angel's Fall (Culloden's Fire Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Kimberly Cates Page; Review: Just finished my second Kimberly Cates book and loved it as much as the first.

Title: A Pirate for Christmas: A Regency Novella - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Anna Campbell Page; Review: So, so, so, so good! Oh my goodness! What can I say? Novella my foot. A story packed with loads of Christmastime romance and fun...and pirates?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Wedding Affair (Rebel Hearts Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Heather Boyd Page; Review: Story was going great. But the end took a dive for me. The heroine is so sure the hero was unfaithful to her and throws accusations in his face until he clears his name to her satisfaction. But guess who WAS unfaithful. That's right folks. But she was lonely so that makes it ok. And of course the hero forgives her immediately because she feels guilty about it. AND RIGHTLY SO! Its a shame she wasn't so quick to be understanding. I just didn't like how judgemental she was when she was guilty of what she judged him for. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Price of Innocence (Book One The Legacy Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Vicki Hopkins Page; Review: Took half the book, moving at a snail's pace, for heroine to even make initial contact with hero. Spent rest of book convincing us to like hero, who then ends up marrying someone else and forces heroine into someone else's arms. I'm still scratching my head in disbelief.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Highland Legacy (The Fraser Brothers Trilogy Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's B. J. Scott Page; Review: We firmly establish the heroine's suffering throughout the book, beginning with her abusive father and repeated attacks and attempts at rape. But 80% of the way into the book, our PREGNANT heroine is flogged. FLOGGED! I'm talking 20 lashes from a whip! I think realistically, this is far enough into the book for me to be able to expect a heroic rescue from the established hero. If the author feels the need for suspense, he can appear as the villain gives the whip a practice snap. Certainly before it struck flesh. But nooooooo, our hero arrives after the heroine loses consciousness from her FLOGGING, after she is returned to her filthy cage, and after she is feverish from infection in her wounds. HOW ROMANTIC! The only thing that would make it better would be if she lost the baby. Then my suffering would be complete. Unfortunately, the heroines suffering isn't complete. After the heros extremely late rescue, the heroine is caught by the villain again, hit and kicked in her back where she was FLOGGED, and held with a knife thats cutting into her throat. Whew! This certainly wins the Flinch Award, because I feel like thats all I did in the last fifth of the book. Unfortunately, I don't like that much suffering in my romances. If you do, then this is the book for you!; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Kindle_Store |

Title: Wuthering Heights 2011; Brand: James Howson; Review: What an awful version! Casting director, hello - the transition of Catherine from adolescence to adult was not believable. With all the flashbacks, it's kinda important to think it could possibly be the same person. I honestly couldn't wait for them all to die, even the puppy murdering little boy. They were all awful people with no redeeming qualities. Nothing likable or interesting about any of them the way the story is portrayed in this version.

The room is incredible - beautifully decorated, clean and the best of everything. The food and service were outstanding. We went the first week after the 2 weeks of school vacation.

Title: Weekapaug Inn; City: Westerly South County Rhode Island; Review: The room was wonderful and offered an exceptional view. Fantastic bathtub! Grounds are quiet and nicely maintained. The food was very good and with only one exception, the staff was superb. The exception - the dining room manager during one afternoon was incredibly rude in response to my request that the kitchen permit me to order one entre for the dinner dining room that it offers only to non-formal diners. My family was coming for an anniversary dinner and one member asked for fish and chips.

Title: Missouri Botanical Garden; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: I loved the botanical gardens. The Lantern Festival is beautiful at night, but I loved the day activities as well. There were many hands on activities to do. I got a Chinese Fan with my name painted in Chinese for 2$. There were a few freebies and many events for young and old alike. The gardens were beautiful with many different types. There were also many fountains and sculptures which I love as well. I loved the scented garden.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ted Drewes; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: Ted Drewe's is a certainly a hot spot in this town and I can see why. First, frozen custard is not easy to come by. Secondly, it is delicious. Try a chocolate dipped vanilla cone ( you can't get chocolate on a cone) or a signature dish of custard with delicious add ins (Oreos, m& ms). Come early- there will be a line. Their signature move is to give you the custard in a dish with a spoon and hold it upside down-it won't move. Absolutely delicious. We went every day we were in town!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pappy's Smokehouse; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: I LOVED Pappy's. We went there because we saw it on The Food Network. The building is nothing to get excited about. We entered in the back door and were warned there was an hour wait and there may not be food when we got to the front. We decided to risk it. It was not an hour wait and it would have been worth it. We both got the ribs with roasted orn and sweet potato fries. We were originally going to get 1 slab and share but I am glad I did not have to. The flavor of the ribs was great-sweet with a bit and meaty. The sweet potato fries were the best I've had and the corn was outrageous.Servers were friendly and efficient as was everyone that worked there. I am sad it could be years before I get there again. TIP: arrive early.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Joey B's On The Hill; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: Loved this place! What a great value and great service. If you like onion rings you must get these! The four on the side order will be enough as they are as big as dessert plates. The half order pastas at lunch includes salad and the house dressing is delicious. I had enough pasta left over, from the half order, to feed hubby and I later that evening. The servers were attentive and helpful! Everything was delicious.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Saint Louis Zoo; City: St Louis, MO; Review: I enjoyed the zoo despite the heat. I saw a lot of animals there I had not seen elsewhere. One thing they did very well is the large areas animals had with a lot of options-in the open, shaded, water, climbing. Another great thing is there were several views of each area. A few times we really tried to get a great pic, only to find that by walking a bit we would come to two other views. Many animals came right up to the windows to the delight of the kids (and me). The zoo is free but the parking was 15$. Still, for the two of us that was reasonable and for a carload-a deal! Also, there were some extra things to do and they had a price. I am sure for a regular, they have a deal you can get to include everything.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Gateway Arch; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: This is a have to see if you are in the area. If you are a passenger in a car, you can actually get a lot of good pictures as you drive nearby. My husband had to walk over a block away to get a picture once we got there. I did not go up inside-there was a long line and it is not something I need to do! I still went down in the building though because there is a gift shop, museum, and a mercantile in the style of many years ago. The museum was amazing. The displays were so unusual. There were many murals with cutouts that came out from the mural. Hard to describe but beautiful. They also had some automated figures the likes of Disney telling their tales. I especially liked Red Cloud. The walk up to the arch from the way we came was beautiful-tree lined and beautiful sounds: birds, helicopters (rides nearby) barges, and ferries. I loved everything about it. Took a pic of a red-winged blakbird for my daughter-it walked right in front of me!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Drury Inn & Suites St. Louis Forest Park; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: We stayed here while attending a wedding-had never heard of it before. We found out it is family owned-soon there will be one in Florida. There is a tricky corner getting into this hotel but this is the worst thing I can say about it. We loved the underground parking at no cost to us. We had a refreidgerator and microwave in the room as well as free wifi. The bathroom area was huge. There was free breakfast including biscuits, gravy, sausage, bacon, eggs, etc. There was also a time during 5:30-7:00 when you could get nachos hots dogs,chicken fingers, macaroni and cheese, baked potato, etc. We also got drink tickets we could use daily. While we did not use the pool, we saw many families taking advantage of it. It was close to the zoo and botanical garden as well as a GREAT restaurant nearby (Joey B's). If I was traveling in the area in a family group-this is a GREAT place. Families could get their kids a full breakfast, go out for the day, and have dinner easily in the evening free of cost (small children eat so little). All employess were genuinely friendly and attentive and willing to help when asked for suggestions. I loved the place!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BoTiki; City: Gulfport, FL; Review: Friends invited me to the west coast for the weekend. One of the many activities was going to Gulfport. I love shopping areas like this-artsy, colorful, and unique. We visited several stores and Bo-Tiki was a favorite. I will admit-the first time we passed it buy. We thought it was only women's clothing. Then we were next store and saw some interesting things in the window and went in. We were greeted immediately and offered refreshments. If I had chosen to, I could have taken some refreshment and sit outside on the porch in colorful chairs and hang out for a bit. I just wanted to look at everything! This store is filled with all kinds of unique items: beautiful embellished and painted purses, many styles of jewelry, unique colorful yard and home décor. The clothing is varied in a beautiful range of colors and styles. Whether you like whimsy or classic-this store will not disappoint. My favorite was the aluminum jewelry-probably because I make it as well-it is beautiful to wear but very light. This artist's work was the best I have seen. I am glad I got to go there twice in the two days. I am anxious to come back again and see what new surprises they will have! If you want to get something unusual for yourself or get a one of a kind gift-consider Bo-Tiki!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bonefish Grill; City: Wesley Chapel, FL; Review: Joe D is a GREAT server! He was able to help me make decisions about my choices. The Saucy Shrimp was amazing-full of flavor and the sauce so delicious, you do not want to leave a bit behind. I think it is considered an appetizer but it is more than enough for a meal. I knew it would be too rich for me so Joe helped me and I got some rice and broccoli. I did bring a lot of the shrimp dish home (husband will enjoy tomorrow) -knowing not to eat all of it at one. I was tempted by Pumpkin Creme Brûlée...Joe said it was worth it and it was. The whipped creme was amazing as well.Very creamy and not an overpowering pumpkin flavor. I found out that my friend had never had creme brûlée before so it was fun to share. My only complaint is at one point in this nice setting, perfect lighting, the music became screaming loud-we could not hear each other. I mentioned it to Joe and he did say he thought it loud as well and he would check on it. It did get slighter lower but overall I really felt it was still loud enough that it wasn't fitting for the setting. Over all a great night!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: 100 Montaditos; City: Wesley Chapel, FL; Review: Very innovative spot! Simple decor and not very large but do not pass this place up. Montaditos- little sandwiches-little but amazing! 100 different choices! I had one with garlic pork,brie and bacon, another with Serrano ham, fresh mozzarella, fresh tomato and pesto, and lastly one with sardines, goat cheese, and herbs. All were delicious. I also ordered fries to share and they were worth it-my husband would have loved them. They were light but crispy and make sure you order the garlic mayo to go with them. They had sign up that they do catering...what a great idea for a party. The girl on duty was very helpful assisting these newcomers with the concept! I understand Wednesdays all sandwiches are a dollar-if you live in the area, I suggest you get there on a Wednesday and check this place out.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Paper Seahorse; City: Tampa, FL; Review: My friend asked if I bought out the store-she knows me well. I understand The Paper Seahorse will have a grand opening in two weeks-check it out. If you love writing/journaling-this is the store for you There are all kinds of beautiful journals and writing papers as well as unique pencils and pens. I was able to see a Midori journal for the first time. There was also a large variety of vintage typewriters in great condition. I did not look at the price because I new I would want one. The daughter of the owner is quite the saleslady-showing me some different pens and showing me how to try them out. I added myself to the mailing list and look forward to checking into the classes, despite the travel time. Thanks to friend Rachelle Eason for sending me to this place!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wildflower Cafe; City: Clearwater, FL; Review: This will be our favorite breakfast spot whenever we come to this area. Our two servers Jilliin and Sarah were awesome! Sarah even gave us cookies for the road when we told her we had a couple hours to go. The food is fresh and delicious and everything is served with fresh sprigs of mint. Everything we had was excellent. Don't forget to have a scone! We chose the raspberry both days because it was so delicious.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Deep Sea Tasting Room; City: Santa Barbara, CA; Review: great experience. Certainly the best views from a tasting room in SB. Prices excellent for the location and service tops. Even if you are not into tasting, outstanding place to hang out for a little while and just sip wine by the glass. Really liked the 2012 Deep Sea Chardonnay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chuck's Waterfront Grill; City: Santa Barbara, CA; Review: We had thought about going to Brophy's but they had a long wait and it was very stuffy. This place had no wait but hesitated to go due to the low yelp rating... but we took a chance. Service and food were excellent. Sat outside and was delightful. Had the oreo chocolate cake for dessert and it was exceptional. give this 4.5 stars.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Toma Restaurant & Bar; City: Santa Barbara, CA; Review: They live up to their reputation. Top notch service backed with terrific food. We tied all different dishes and many appetizers and no one bite was left. Although we really wanted a great ocean view, we had that for most of the day, so decided to try this highly rated restaurant (the restaurants on the pier have attractive menu choices, but low ratings) and we were not disappointed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Study at University City; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Enjoyed the hotel and the people. good value. nice workout room. good location. i would stay there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Roses Florist; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: They did deliver on time and the correct order, but flowers were not super fresh - some were a little wilted - borderline acceptable. expected better for the $70 cost. did it for the convenience but better quality at a supermarket.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | yelp |
