Title: The Time Keeper; Author: Mitch Albom; Genres: history, young-adult, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Mitch Albom's books like "For Another Day", "Tuesdays with Morrie" and "5 People you meet in heaven", they all teach us to appreciate what we have, specially the time. In his latest book, The Time Keeper, the message is similar. Like the most of his previous books has added some super-natural twist in this fictional narration. Two different persons - Victor, a rich businessman in his twilight years and Sarah, a teenager with love issues, are going to learn one important lesson of life-"To respect time". The person who takes this assignment is none other then Dor or father time, who invented time, some 6000 years ago. Read the full review on my blog; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chanakya's Chant; Author: Ashwin Sanghi; Genres: history, fiction, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Chanakya's Chant is written by Ashwin Sanghi, Indian author based in Mumbai. The book is based on fiction however the author has used Historical characters and timelines to give life to the story. The book runs in a 2 parallel backdrop: The first one is the story of Chanakya. One of the brightest political and economic minds of ancient India, Chanakya unified India under the rule of his student Chandragupt Maurya. He is cold, calculated and manipulative . Hurt by the murder of his father, he decides to use his knowledge and application in defeating weak Kingdoms and also keep Alexander The Great at distance from invasion. 2nd story is based in modern times. Gangasagar Misra, an alter ego of Chanakya , tries his hands on Modern politics of India. Like former's Kingmakers profile, he makes his mark by taking a small girl from the slums of Kanpur to Prime Minister's Office in New Delhi. The series of scandals, scams, cheating, ups and downs, coalitions and drama of modern politics makes it interesting read. The pace of the book is ferocious and switch from the ancient story to the modern story is neat. You can compare it with Hindi feature Film Rang De Basanti where a historic story plays in the backdrop in Black-n-white and is making references to the current story.

Title: The Secret of the Nagas (Shiva Trilogy #2); Author: Amish Tripathi; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: The story starts from where Immortals of Meluha ended. (You can read my review of Immortals of Meluha here) After defecting the Chandravanshi's in the war, Shiva and his troops discover that the Nagas, chief reason for war, were not an ally of Chandravanshis'. Shiva unites both kingdoms and make them political and military allies. Influenced by legend of Neelkanth, both Kingdom decides to unite in search of Nagas. During the course of his journey, there are many adventures, mini battles, betrayals and revelations. The author uses his knowledge of History, geography and mythology to make many episodes believable. However, like is language, not everything in his book is historically timed. For example, during one episode, he mentions a hybrid creature called Liger. Liger is the crossbreed of Tiger and Lion which had no record before 17th century. Amish also introduced more Hindu Gods as the characters in this book, like Karthik, Ganesha and Goddess Kali. The book does not disappoint the readers expectations which were raised by the excitement of the first installment. The book climax was mastered as sub-plot for the next part which again promises to be more adventures and revelations. Overall this book was engaging read and makes it worth to wait for the third and the final installment of the Trilogy. You can read the full review at: [url]...; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Pregnant King; Author: Devdutt Pattanaik; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: The book is based on the back drop of Mahabharata, an epic based on Hindu Mythology. Most of the characters in the book are similar to that in Mahabharata but the timelines and few characters are fictitious. It follows a story of Yuvanashva, a child less king of Vallabhi. To fulfill his desire for Son, he request holy Sages for divine portion which would eventually make his wives pregnant and give him sons. However, he accidently drinks the portion himself and become a pregnant king. The author manipulated the timelines to his comfort and made this incident on the backdrop of great war of Kurukshetra. The King eventually gave birth to the child from his thigh. He also fathered a child from one of his queens. Hence he experienced a rare opportunity to be both a father and a mother. Throughout the book , the author exhibited and debated the concept of Dharma, Gender roles in the society and the thin line between parental duties and kingship.

Title: Disgrace; Author: J.M. Coetzee; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Recommended by the fellow traveler few months back, Disgrace is the fiction novel written by J.M Coetzee in 1999. Coetzee, South African writer, won Booker's prize for this book followed by Nobel price in Literature in 2004. I was little bit disappointed when this book arrived through courier, mostly because of size of the book (220 pages only). ____Spoilers Alert______________ The author waste no time in establishing the protagonist's character here. David Lurie is a professor in the university in Cape Town. Two-times divorced, Lurie is 52 year old lecturer of English Literature who also operates special course in the university for romantic poetry. His moment of Disgrace starts when he seduces a venerable girl from his special course which is later revealed to the university commission. Not helped by the knowledge of the case to media and his unapologetic confession, he resigns from his post in university. He then takes refuse in his daughter's farm in rural county. Slowly he starts to get comfortable with his daughter's hippie lifestyle and unusual rural life. However, followed by couple of incidents involving attacks and rape to his daughter, he find himself in helpless position where we could neither help her nor ignore her. Totally demoralized by the incidents, he continues to live around his daughter beyond her welcome in attempt to save her. Coetzee style of portraying the two sides of same personality is brilliant. He lets the political trouble of the country sit in the sub-plot and he kept his focus on the characters. Another thing which is noteworthy is that he gives space to the readers and let them take their side of the story. I recommend this book only if you can take some dose of tragic reading, however, let me assure you, the tragic part is not as intense as "God of Small things". Source: [url]; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Oath of the Vayuputras (Shiva Trilogy, #3); Author: Amish Tripathi; Genres: history, fiction, young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: There is simple book recommendation for you. If you have read The Immortals of Meluha and The Secret of Nagas, then you must read The Oath of the Vayuputras, the third and final book of the Shiva Trilogy written by Amish Tripathi. If you have not read those books, then you can give it a miss as this book will not make any sense to you. (Originally Posted in: [url]...) But the question is, will this series will go down as the one which will be recommended in the book clubs and college libraries in the future ? The answer is both yes and no. Yes, because this Trilogy is the blueprint of how to make successful book based on cultural , ideological and mythological knowledge in making commercially successful project. Many writers in past had flirted with the geek mythology and were successful. The second part of answer is no because though this series is entertaining and page tuner, it still lacks the depth of language and editing required in the classified classic. ---Spoiler's Alert ---- Shiva discovers that the 'Somras' is the true evil and his best friend Bharspati was not dead but safe in Panchvati. Shiva and his crew approaches Vashudevs (a divine tribe of Lord Ram) to seek their help in destroying in the Somras forever. Meanwhile, the Kingdoms of Meluha and Ayodhya makes an alliance to protect the Somras. Shiva knew that if the inevitable war takes place, the odds are against him because he not only have to face an efficient army of Mehula but also the masses of Ayodhya. With the help of Nagas and Vashudevs , Shiva makes more alliances around the region to fight for dharma yudh. He also uses Vashudevs inter portal communication to warn the innocent citizens against the evil of Somras and announce the war against supporters of Somras. Eventually the war takes place and after many twist and turns, Shiva seeks help of Vayuputras (a divine tribe of Lord Rudra) to grant him Divya Astra (Divine Weapon) to threaten his enemies. They promise to bless Shiva with the weapon on condition of not using it, to which Shiva agrees. During his journey, Shiva discovers many facts about his origin and how he was trained to be Neelkandth. Many dots related to his uncle, his childhood etc were connected. The book has a tragic end with destruction of Lord Ram's kingdom of Meluha and death of many important characters. There were many personal and emotional loss which the people in both sides had to suffer. The author uses the backdrop of book in giving many philosophical answers related to dharma, Morality and Karma. The quotes from Gita, Vedas, and Upnishads where also used. Many things in Hindu Mythology which we see as divine or magical has been given scientific outline and the legacy of Lord Shiva has been re-written in Amish's own world. All in all, one can't complain too much with the book , nor with the trilogy. The people who are disappointed are the only one who expected; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan; Author: Robert Kanigel; Genres: history, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: Sports commentators and News editors use the term "Genius" so frequently that sometimes we forget the real meaning of the term. Maybe because of lack of better words, the likes of Ramanujan are also defined as genius in modern worlds. Robert Kanigel wrote this biography on one of the most popular and mysterious mathematician, who has inspired many generations of mathematician to be more curious about the numbers.....

Title: The Lowland; Author: Jhumpa Lahiri; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: n recent past , I have not read a book with greater patience than the Jhumpa Lahiri's latest, the Lowland. Its an achievement to write a fast paced thriller, its a greater achievement to write a book which makes readers to slow down, think about the events, analysis the chapter before moving on, replay each scene and dialogue in the mind and so on. This is exactly what Jhumpa did to me with this book. I took my time to observe what happening to Subhash, Udayan, Bela and Gauri (the characters of the book) Full Review @ [url]...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana; Author: Devdutt Pattanaik; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I may run a risk of sounding like a fanboy but Devdutt Pattanaik has once again proved that he is one of the most important mythologist of this generation. Like the previous edition, Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of Mahabharata, Devdutt brings new prospective to the great epic of Hindu mythology connecting the world of magic, maya and superpowers with human values and cultural understanding. (Read the full review [url]...) It was always believed that Lord Shiva was the first narrator of Ramayana. The book maintains that tradition when it is opened with a request by Goddess Parvati to Shiva to tell her the story which would bring peace to her mind. However Shiva's narration is more like a preface (or we say a symbolic) and it is Hanuman who narrates the Ramayana in this book. The role of narrator is very important because narrator always brings his point of view on the table. In this book also, Devdutt brings the view point of different folk-tales about each episodes. For Jaya, he also pointed out the views of Indonesian and Thai folks, along with regional Indian versions, but this time he also included the view points from Western commentators. Specially why Ram is unpopular in West and other sexist judgments related Ramayana; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: In Xanadu: A Quest; Author: William Dalrymple; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: As the name suggest, this book is about a Quest to follow the route of Marco Polo who traveled around around seas, deserts & Mountains to reach Xanadu, an ancient capital of Mongolia and fort of descendants of the Great conqueror Genghis khan. Ok, I admit, it does not sound as exciting as it is to replicate a voyage from history when the world has become flatter & more connected. Well, its 1980s & he had to pass through Turkey, Israel, Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan & China. Turkey was not as cool as it is today, Israel was fragile as today, entering Syria from Israel border was never a cakewalk, Iran was in middle of its revolution, Afghanistan was still recovering from Russian invasion, Swat Valley of Pakistan has always been weird & China was not as open as it is today. The result: adventure & challenge as interesting as that of Marco Polo (If we just ignore the scale ) Click Here for Full review; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Em and The Big Hoom; Author: Jerry Pinto; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: "This is certainly my best work", Jerry said as I approached him to sign the copy of the book. The purple paperback is complemented by the purple end at each page. It reminded me of the autumn street of Kathmandu where the streets were full of purple flowers. The book starts with a love letter, an unusual kind of letter which starts with "Dear Angel Ears". The preserved letter has been read by the son, who found this letter in his mother's closet. He is re-reading the letter to his mother and asking her why did she call his father "Angel Ears". There is so much honesty and truthfulness in the conversation that you forget that it was in the mental wardof JJ Hospital where the mother is a regular refugee.

Title: Narcopolis; Author: Jeet Thayil; Genres: history, fiction, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, mystery; Review: There are dark corners, blood stains, opium trips and bad memories in Jeet's Narcopolis. In the small lanes of Shuklaji street, in the illicit brothel, in the opium dens and in the newly communist village in Guangdong are the characters of the book. None of them are the central character. In few pages you are tricked by a narrator who appears like a central character but in the end, you realize that every character is a support to the central plot. Full review:[url]; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Slow; Author: Digonta Bordoloi; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: In his debut book Slow, Digonta sets the story in the most picturesque and beautiful places of North-East India. Slow is the story of Baba and his family who moves to various towns of the region, thanks to the Government job of Baba' s father. As the tittle suggests, the author is in no hurry to rush to the plot. He takes his time with the atmosphere and the characters. He takes his time in establishing the multiple point of views and he takes his time in giving us beautiful tour of Kohima, Tezpur, Guwahati, Dimapur and many such towns. The style is fresh and setting is beautiful Full Review: [url]; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Transmetropolitan, Vol. 1: Back on the Street (Transmetropolitan, #1); Author: Warren Ellis; Genres: thriller, comics, crime, paranormal, graphic, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Don't we all get tired of the society, with the cynicism of people, arrogance of the people with power, the double standards of morality, the two edges of smiles and with the hopelessness in the souls around us? Don't we all want to buy a big bad-ass apartment on the top of mountain and stay away from the jungle of concretes? Don't we develop a fatigue from believing in the civic sarcasm of the keepers of our world? Yes, I think so we all do, but not in the scale of Spider Jerusalem, the journalist in the futuristic world, the protagonist of the manic comic book series, Transmetropolitan . Created by Warren Ellis and co-credited to Darick Robertson, Transmetropolitan, Vol 1, Back on the Street, maintains the dark theme inherited in Warren's previous creations. He creates a world in future, the one from the dreams of death metal artist, with the chaos and madness which exists like a Trojan horse. A world that is struggling to emotionally cope with the next level of human evolution. The world which is looking for spiritual answers with ever increasing number of religions and churches.

Title: Stories from Tagore; Author: Rabindranath Tagore; Genres: poetry, fiction; Review: Originally written in Bengali, the trademark of his style is narratives reflecting the emotions, underlying the social and economic structure of that era.

Title: The Lives of Others; Author: Neel Mukherjee; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: "Life of others" is based on the large Bengali family in Kolkata that gets caught in the mist of communist up-rising in the state. The Naxal-bari moment in the upper West-Bengal is important incident in the history of contemporary India and this book captures the after-math of the event through the narrative of the family. I tried my best to love this book, though it is very insightful, thought provoking and deep but I don't think so it is lovable. It is not so because this book is tragic, most of the good books are that way. I expected the book to be a historical fiction but instead it was a joint family drama. There are so many characters that even after reading 200 pages, I had to go back to the family tree in the front page to find about the hierarchy of the character.

Title: 14 Stories That Inspired Satyajit Ray; Author: Bhaskar Chattopadhyay; Genres: fiction; Review: If the tittle of this book will not make you read it than I wonder what will. This book is the collection of 14 stories translated and edited by Baskar Chattopadhyay that influenced the cinematic genius that Satyajit Ray is. Also at the end of the book, there are interviews by Sarmila Tagore, Satyajit's published articles and many others that makes this book a great read Full post: [url]; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Mark of Vishnu: Stories; Author: Khushwant Singh; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction; Review: Khushwant Singh is truly the king of Indian Short Story circuit. He paints his characters so well that you can visualize them as you read them. You can relate to these characters because they are like everyday people we meet. The insecurities, the habits, the thought-process, the disgusts and the shames are relatable to folks from urban Indian society. Like the story of "The Bottom Pincher" where the perfectly rich and suffice Parsi gentleman has an illicit habit of grabbing bottoms of strange women in the street. He takes these guilty pleasures so swiftly and smoothly that he is never questioned or suspected. Its not only the human characters that Khushwant expertises in. He even takes care of the point of views of stray dogs and holy king cobras. Full Post: [url]; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Book Thief; Author: Markus Zusak; Genres: history, young-adult, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is based in Nazi Germany during Second World War, but its not a story just focused on war. A 8 year girl is separated from her birth parents, her brother dies a cold winter death, however its not just a story of her struggles in her life there after. Her foster parents open their home for her, in exchange of extra ration allowance and some money ofcourse, but its not the story of their cruelty or their affection towards their foster child. The kid is trying to find the identity in the changing Germany, the Furher's Germany, but this story is not centered around Furhrer. She made some friends in school, and some enemies. She enjoyed playing football with them, reading books and also stealing, but inspite of the book being titled the book thief, its not about stealing or even about books. Her new family hides a jewish boy in their basement to protect him from SS, but again, its not about the holocaust. "Death" is the narrator of this story, but still this story is not about death or dying. This book is about everything in between these things, its about intangible emotions, unspoken words and vacuum of emptiness Full post:[url]; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Arjun: Without a Doubt; Author: Sweety Shinde; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Over the centuries, different writers and artists has presented different voices to this great epic. From Karna, Krishna, Draupati, Supriya to Shrikandi- everyone has been offered a point of view- an opportunity to judge the great war from their lenses. Novelty of this book is that it offered a voice to otherwise silent warrior whose heroic contribution to the war is often taken as granted, and only married with the silence inspite of the grandest conflicts were circling around him. Arjuna, the demi-god, son of Indra, Pandu and Kunti's third son, an ace archer, compassionate lover, artistic and thinker, Krishna's friend and cousin and the pride of Dronacharya, takes a central voice. His voice is accompanied with that of Draupadi. They take turns to narrate the events starting from Drupadi's Swayambar to the after-math of the great war.' Over all, great effort by Dr. Sweety Shinde Read full Review : [url]; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Sellout; Author: Paul Beatty; Genres: fiction; Review: Set in regions of Los Angeles, The Sellout by Paul Beatty is the social satire portraying the unfortunate & crime filled neighborhood called Dickens. Dickens is populated majorly by the African Americans, & most of them are economically backward & socially awkward. The narrator & the protagonist of the book, referred mostly in the book by his last name, through an interesting turns of events, finds himself defending his case in the Supreme Court. What may had been an isolated case of insane activism in the parts of city which was otherwise popular for police shootouts & gang wars, the protagonist manage to shake the foundation of American society by re-initiating slavery & segregating students in schools on the basis of race.

Title: Eileen; Author: Ottessa Moshfegh; Genres: history, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, fiction, mystery; Review: Young woman character- underachiever- no relationship- certain unhappiness in their life- forgetful family life- a plan to runaway-leading towards physiological thriller ... Well I am not talking about The Girl on the Train but Eileen had almost all the recipe of becoming a best selling page turner but instead it overdid the character development & gross narration of the protagonist which ended up it getting very mixed reviews. Most of the reviews that I read were negative but they didn't influence me that much as I ended up enjoying the book. But I know where the problem for the book was. It started on the monotone first person narration of Eileen who worked in the Juvenile prison as an assistant, lived in the house she shared with her alcohalic father. Based in 1960s in the un-named town in New England, the book agonizingly piles the details & miseries of Eileen, who is both depressed & lonely. The book was calling for more characters & change of pace but that didn't happen until the half of the book was done. But what impressed me in this book was that when I thought there is no hope in this book & it will end as it was started, it did bring the big twist. Full Review - [url]...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hot Milk; Author: Deborah Levy; Genres: fiction; Review: "I am not okay. Not at all and haven't been for some time. I did not tell her how discouraged I felt and that I was ashamed I was not more resilient an all the rest of it which included wanting a bigger life but that so far I had not been bold enough to make a bid for things I wanted to happen...." The above quote from the book "Hot Milk" is the perfect synopsis of the book. Readers who can relate with it are the one who will enjoy the book, others may not. This is why this book, nominated for The Man Bookers' Prize this year, has have a very mixed & contrasting reviews. Full review : [url]...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Flash: Rebirth; Author: Geoff Johns; Genres: young-adult, comics, paranormal, graphic, fantasy, fiction; Review: What a lost opportunity ! The plot was over-complicated to make it a darker & intense literature. Unfortunately, it does not always work well here. The book have all the speedsters from the Flash universe- from past, future, alternative timelines & different worlds. But accommodating so much is not necessarily what was required here . There were few amusing moments but overall a let down.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: His Bloody Project: Documents relating to the case of Roderick Macrae; Author: Graeme Macrae Burnet; Genres: history, fiction, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, mystery; Review: I don't know how to categorize this book. Set in 1860s, the author claims that the events in the book are inspired or part of the actual historical event, so we are safe to call it Historical Fiction but at the same time the premise is for set for very legit crime fiction. Set the rural Northern County of Applecross in Scotland, the book follows the story of the central character Roderick Macrael- a seventeen year old who brutally kills three people. He immediately surrenders & admits the guilt & is captured by the local police. The tone of the book at the beginning is that of crime reporting but later the "first person" prison dairy takes over. Here, with his skillful writing, Roderick narrates the story of his family & the hardship they faced- thereby establishing the motive of his actions. Full Review: [url]...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Becoming a Mountain: Himalayan Journeys in Search of the Sacred and the Sublime; Author: Stephen Alter; Genres: history, non-fiction, biography, historical fiction; Review: This is a very beautiful and powerful book on personal tragedy and redemption by Stephen Alter. Stephen is born in India to his American missionary parents who lived in the hill town of Mussoorie in Northern India. He has managed to blend adventure and poetry to give us an account of the dreadful day when the robbers broke into his house and fatally injured both him and his wife. As most writers do, he overcame the stress of that day by not only writing about it, but also tried to search the sacred and divine in the mountains of Himalayas. After recovering from his injuries, he decided to scale the mountains to test and challenge both his physical and mental strength. Along with these journeys to Nanda Devi, Bhutan, Nepal and Tibet, he also gave back stories on these trails- from its mystic past to the unheard legends from these mountain. Stephen Allen's book is one of the most brilliant book on the mountains. Full review on my blog: [url]-...; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Brisa Marina Beachfront Resort; City: Morong Bataan Province Central Luzon Region Luzon; Review: + beach front. own swimming pool. nice view of the see. we enjoyed the island hopping thing though is quite windy at that time. near turtle sactuary. Photo friendly, seems really nice in our pics. - due to upgrading and construction of other building you will find some caspenters staring at you while swimming at the pool. the place, specially the rooms are not fully cleaned. room is small. no toiletries in the room, given as requested. no tv/cable signal in our room. poor wifi connection. no complimentary bottled water or welcome drinks. the food in the resto is over price and the servings was in small amount and not good for sharing, almost everything we ordered were salty, we just thought its maybe because of their water, while also quite salty. location is far from any store or other resto. it seems we did not get what we'd paid for.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Janod Dolls Chunky Wooden Funny Magnets; Brand: Janod; Review: Let me start by saying that these are a wonderful large size and so cute. Love the mix and match. However, the magnets are very weak and they are frustrating to my 21 month old who wants to hold up her creation but it falls apart when she tries. I have a hard time standing them up without them falling apart too. If they had stronger magnets so they could be handled after assembling I would have given 5 stars.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Zomerhuis met zwembad; Author: Herman Koch; Genres: thriller, crime, mystery, fiction; Review: Vlot geschreven, maar mist diepgang en hoofdpersonen maken rare keuzes.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Insurgent (Divergent, #2); Author: Veronica Roth; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I had some difficulty reading this book. It starts where Divergent ends which made it difficult for me to seperate both books (I read the collection of the 3 books, so 3 books in one). I started and restarted reading Insurgent several times. Insurgent isn't as fast paced as Divergent in my opinion, everything seems to happen in the last third of the book. And the interesting stuff happens on the last page :-) Just like the first book, I finished this one saying: 'Oh, this is the end...?' because it's pretty abrupt. Overall a good read.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Postern of Fate (Tommy and Tuppence, #5); Author: Agatha Christie; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: One of the books I found in the drawer under my bed.

Title: 1Q84; Author: Haruki Murakami; Genres: romance, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: 4,5 stars I loved the story and the way Murakami writes. It really draws you in. I like the way he builds his characters. Some of the repetetive descriptions of situations/ history/ features of characters bothered me a bit (or at least made me skip some sentences) but overall I really enjoyed this book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Station Eleven; Author: Emily St. John Mandel; Genres: paranormal, young-adult, fantasy, fiction; Review: I loved this book.

Title: So Mote it Be (Circle of Three, #1); Author: Isobel Bird; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I first read this book during my university years, the year after its release (in 2002), many supernatural/ paranormal/ wiccan books came out between 2001 and 2005. This is one of many series I read those years, and one I have fond memories of (together with the Wicca/ Sweep series and the Daughters of the Moon series). Reading it now, 12 years later (I feel old now :)), it hasn't lost its charm. Circle of Three is well written, an easy read and has actual characters. I can still relate to the main characters and the setting, which, in my opinion, shows the talent of the author (who, as Wikipedia now told me, is actually a man :-)).; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Merry Meet (Circle of Three, #2); Author: Isobel Bird; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: I still like these books, after 12 or 13 years . They are perfect for some light reading and are written well enough to still make me want to read on.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Second Sight (Circle of Three, #3); Author: Isobel Bird; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, young-adult, fiction; Review: This book is told from Cooper's perspective, which is a nice change. It's nice to get to know more of her background. Second Sight reads like a murder mystery.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Five Paths (Circle of Three, #8); Author: Isobel Bird; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, young-adult, fiction; Review: The book centers around the reactions the girls get from family / friends / school after they tell them they're involved with Wicca.

Title: The Witches of Echo Park (The Witches of Echo Park, #1); Author: Amber Benson; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: 3,5 stars.

Title: De entertainer; Author: Lars Saabye Christensen; Genres: fiction; Review: Jonathan Grep droomde ervan om concertpianist te worden, dat is hem niet gelukt, in plaats daarvan wordt hij restaurantmusicus in een hotel in het noorden van Noorwegen in ruil voor kost en inwoning. De lichte nachten vallen hem zwaar en hij kampt met slapeloosheid. In zijn doorwaakte nachten maakt hij kennis met zijn nieuwe (excentrieke) dorpsgenoten die hem verhalen vertellen over het dorpsleven in deze afgelegen en gesloten gemeenschap. Al snel voelt Jonathan een onbedwingbare drang om het dorp te helpen en ruzies op te lossen en de dorpelingen te verzoenen. Dat loopt niet zoals Grep in gedachten had. De Entertainer verscheen in Noorwegen al in 1995, het boek is in 2008 in het Nederlands vertaald. Het boek past goed bij de andere werken van Lars Saabye Christensen. Hij toont hier wederom waar hij goed in is. Met humor en oog voor detail brengt hij de verschillende karakters, de melancholische sfeer en het leven van een buitenstaander in het kleine, noordelijke dorp tot leven. Lars Saabye Christensen is een meester in het beschrijven van normaal lijkende situaties die door een klein detail bijna absurd worden. Zo moeten de receptionistes in het hotel, Sara en Solveig, een uniform delen terwijl ze heel verschillend gebouwd zijn. Het hotel heeft echter geen geld voor een ander uniform. Soms vergeten de meisjes hun naamkaartjes te verwisselen. Jonathan Grep voelt zich meteen na zijn eerste ontmoeting met Sara en Solveig al geroepen om de meisjes ieder van hun eigen uniform te voorzien. Dit soort situaties zijn typisch voor Lars Saabye Christensen en zijn observaties en beschrijvingen maken zijn karakters erg menselijk. De Entertainer is een korter boek dan veel van Lars Saabye Christensens andere werken, dat doet echter geen afbreuk aan de kwaliteit van het verhaal. De Entertainer is het zeker waard om gelezen te worden.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Vionic Women's Walker; Brand: Vionic; Review: These shoes were very uncomfortable. I was looking for a walker shoe that would give me stability and balance. These shoes are VERY rigid to the point where you cant flex them at all. It feels like your sole is a 2X4. Sorry Vionic. They also make your foot look clumsy.

Title: CLARKS Men's 26062082 - Natureveldt; Brand: ; Review: i would have loved these sandals except i went by what the sizing chart showed. I measured twice maybe three times. I thought "no way" am i a size 5... but i ordered them anyway in a 5. I should have gone with my "gut feeling". as they were way to small for my feet. I would hope they change the sizing chart, because it is way off. Very deceiving. Check out both US and European sizing as well. I went back to order my correct size, but wouldnt you know it my size was gone with this beautiful cork style.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Vionic Women's Action Emerald Lace Up; Brand: Vionic; Review: I gave these shoes 3 stars even though they fit as expected, BUT the inner lining with the support was very irregular and made a blister on the outer side of my feet.

Title: Targus Bluetooth Mini Mouse with Bluetooth Adapter (AMB01US); Brand: Targus; Review: I bought this when It had just come out in the market for $80.00 It really worked well for while but has now appears to have died after just a few months (< 1 yr) of use. I think that weakest part is the slide on/off switch which is useful for saving battery power but whose malfunction has likely killed the mouse. Not a good value for the money.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Flip MinoHD Video Camera - Black, 4 GB, 1 Hour (1st Generation); Brand: Flip Video; Review: Yes it is cute. However, it is not HD. I do not care what every one says - I trust my eyes more. on my HD TV - the video output is not even as good as regular DVD! This is true of even video shot outdoors in daylight conditions. You get what you pay for so do not get taken in by the words HD that they attach in advertising. This is just good for posting quick takes on you tube.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Samsung 850 PRO - 1TB - 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE1T0BW); Brand: Samsung; Review: Installed this yesterday on my Toshiba Satellite L755. My PC is faster. Samsung sends Data migration and Samsung Magician software on a CD. One first uses Data migration software to clone the hard drive before swapping the drives. You need a SATA to USB cable for this purpose. That process was simple and worked. However, my laptop will not boot to windows 8.1. I got message which said "Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software might be the cause. To fix the problem: 1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2. Choose your language setting, and then click "Next" 3. Click "Repair your computer" If you do not have this disk, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance. File: \Boot\BCD Status: 0xc000000f Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data." If you google "windows will not boot after cloning with samsung data migration" you will find this issue discussed on a number of forums. Fortunately I had bought windows 8 DVD alongwith the download when windows 8 came out. I inserted the DVD into my laptop and chose "Repair Your Computer" which worked and solved the problem. However, Samsung should fix their software. I am not sure what is the workaround for people who do not have windows DVD.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: TiVo Roamio Pro 3 TB DVR (Old Version) - Digital Video Recorder and Streaming Media Player; Brand: TiVo; Review: Set up was easy. Worked well initially. Then it did not tape one of the programs that I programmed. Found that live TV did not show any reception from my roof top antenna. Connected that antenna to my old HD tivo which worked well. Unplugged TIVO ota and plugged it in again. Now every thing worked fine for a day. Next day same error occurred again. Unplug and plug in fixed this again. I was now 14 days from purchase. Do not have time to call Tivo and trouble shoot this. Thanks to the store for hassle free return. I have gone back to using my old HD tivo. When I spend $400 plus - thing should work perfect. I do not have time to deal with trouble shooting and returns.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Valeo Deluxe Speed Rope, Black; Brand: Valeo; Review: Its a good weight and well balanced for the price.

Title: Alternative Women's Slouchy Pullover; Brand: ; Review: I'm a sucker for slouchy sweaters so this one was great for the price. I was hoping ordering it a size larger than I needed would allow me to wear it off one shoulder but it doesn't. However its a great everyday sweater for running errands or to wear over my workout clothes when its cold out. My biggest complaint with it is that its a bit short. I like my shirts to hit about 1/4 to 1/2 the way down my bum and this one hits right at my belt line.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The House of Secrets; Author: Visit Amazon's Brad Meltzer Page; Review: Good page-turner with twists do plot that made sense but you couldn't always see coming. A few hard -to-believe scenarios that frustrated me, seems like to get out of tight situations or to turn the plot some, something or somebody would complete a very implausible feat. But overall a good read; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Terror in the City of Champions: Murder, Baseball, and the Secret Society that Shocked Depression-era Detroit; Author: Visit Amazon's Tom Stanton Page; Review: The book was poorly written down and edited. Too many facts and names, some mentioned once and never connected to the story. A lot of material but not well organized. I don't reccommend it but would like to see it re-written.

This has made life easier! The charger at the top is a little awkward to use but it does work. It has a place to hold small round watch batteries and all sizes of other batteries.

I use my laptop on my lap, not a desk and the location of the cord at the back of the computer makes the cord bend at a sharp angle. I don't anticipate this lasting very long as this cord does the same thing. I plan on taping the cord where it plugs into the computer so it doesn't bend at such a sharp angle.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: NET-DYN USB Wireless WiFi Adapter,AC1200 Dual Band , 5GHz and 2.4GHZ; Brand: Net-Dyn; Review: My internal WiFi in my Surface Pro 3 died.

And the other deal..... I'm pretty sure it's twice as fast as the internal one in the Surface. OK, maybe not twice but WAY faster. The only bad news is now I have a stick poking out of my tablet. I've learned to only pug it in while I'm on line and then I take it out so it's not that big of deal.

Title: Hamilton Beach 68050 Icy Treats Ice Shaver, White; Brand: Hamilton Beach; Review: I HAD TO ADD TO MY REVIEW. I am on my 4th machine in 2 years. The latest one made it 3 weeks!! I still love the shaved ice that it makes but the QUALITY IS SUSPECT. The center shaft shears off. Hamiliton Beach will replace them but boy is it annoying. I couldn't be happier with this little machine. I haven't bought ice cream in months. Sweet and cold was all I needed. No more fat. I make my own flavored syrup so I know what is in it. The little machine has to be watched. It can jam but that is rare. It takes my ordinary ice cubes, no problem. I don't know what shaved ice is like but I LOVE what this machine makes. The two settings make a delicious textured treat. I wouldn't change a thing about the Icy Treats maker, it is fine just as it is. I can hardly wait to enjoy icy treats this summer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Granite Ware 18-Inch Covered Oval Roaster; Brand: Columbian Home; Review: I have had this wonderful pan for many years now. It was an excellent purchase. I have baked countless turkeys in it and it still continues to work. After years of buying disposable aluminum pans, that always seemed to leak after one use, I bought this simple solution. I bake a turkey with the lid on and water in the pan. It seems to work either way, with lid or not, I get a juicy bird each time.

We found the cottage to be more than a cottage- actually a small house with a large deck that includes an outdoor glasstop table and chairs. The best part is the great view of Lake Erie! I enjoyed my morning coffee indoors in the kitchen with the same view through the French doors. There are two nice-sized bedrooms with queen beds, and one twin in the little TV room off the back. The house has one full bath, but plenty of mirrors and outlets in the rooms for doing hair and makeup outside of the bath. The location was fantastic- we walked to a restaurant in Ohio City, and drove to the West Side Market within 10 minutes. Downtown is about a 5-minute drive away, and we drove to Edgewater State Park in about the same time. Do not expect a modern, wall-to-wall carpet hotel experience; this is an older, renovated home that is clean and has all the extras you need- plates, utensils, iron & board, pots, pans, etc. We enjoyed this unique home and its eclectic decor, and were sorry to have to leave!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Bloomington; City: Bloomington Indiana; Review: We just stayed at the Bloomington Super 8 last night. The first room we were given, although on the non-smoking floor, reeked of smoke and I had to ask for another room. Fortunately we had checked in early, because the hotel was full that night, so we could get a substitute room, and it did not have any smoke smell at all. Room was older decor but clean, except for the inexplicable presence of fruitflies in the bathroom. Since we didn't keep food in there, I was not concerned. Pool was small and cool in temperature, but served us ok. Breakfast had a nice variety & was popular- closes at 9 AM, so get there early! I overheard several people complaining of their room A/C not working, but ours was fine. Had to step over construction workers' items in hallway while checking in- they are redoing the exterior of the hotel, but we were not disturbed by any construction noise during our stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn Suites N at Pyramids; City: Indianapolis Indiana; Review: We just stayed here two nights ago (5/29/09) and had no problems like the last reviewer regarding safety issues. The parking lot was well-lit, and I even took a walk around the office complex across the street as it was getting dark, and felt safe doing so. The outdoor pool / deck is nice, but not heated. Breakfast was just fine- standard, extended continental style. Our room was very clean and the bathroom was absolutely spotless- very important to me. Minor cosmetic details could be nicer- wallpaper loosening at one seam (not flapping, just needed seam redone) and at the top of the bathroom mirror the glaze was peeling. Otherwise, room was just what we needed- included coffeemaker, recliner & another chair. Watch for odd phone charges- I didn't use it with our long distance phone card, but the hotel phone label stated that even 800# calls would be subject to a $2.00 fee. Local calls were free up to 20 minutes, then $2.00 fee- ?? Walls are thick enough that noise is not an issue. I plan to stay here again when in Indy overnight.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Black Hawk Motel Suites; City: Wisconsin Dells Wisconsin; Review: This past week we stayed in Room 71 with 2 queen beds and a kitchenette. This is the only one of this kind, so I'm sure it sells quickly. The kitchenette is actually no different than a regular kitchen, except the refrigerator is smaller. It has a full-size stove & oven, microwave, sink and even a dishwasher- better than most TownPlace Suites and the like. The pictures on the website are now updated for this room and they are a fair representation of the room. Not only is the kitchen and carpet new, but the room itself was immaculately clean. The desk staff, maids... everyone was courteous and quick to assist us. My kids loved both indoor & outdoor pools, plus it had 2 hot tubs, a video game room and a sauna room. The only bad part about was that we had to leave to come home!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Motel 6 Indianapolis; City: Indianapolis Indiana; Review: We had mixed results with our first visit to a Motel 6. At this one I felt very safe, even though the deadbolt on our door did not work- door locked & used the latch up top. Room was immaculately clean, which is most important to me, and wifi was free & fast. Remodel was nice & the flooring was a vast improvement over the usual carpet that aggravates allergies. Mattresses were nice & firm, and I felt the towels were okay. The downside of the flooring was hearing the kids running in the room above us more clearly, so I definitely recommend getting a top floor room. Flat screen TV had the worst cable reception picture I have ever seen (think 1970's rabbit ears antenna time), but we didn't watch much of it. When I tried to take advantage of the free local & long distance calls I discovered that the phone didn't work at all. This was not a big deal until the kids overhead started running track after I was in bed at 11:00 pm, and couldn't call the front desk about it. Overall, not major problems, but I recommend checking the deadbolt, TV and phone before you unpack for the night.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Versacart Folding Shopping Cart Transit Utility Cart - Transport Up to 120 Pounds (Water-Resistant Heavy Duty Canvas), Navy Blue; Brand: Versacart; Review: There quite a few of this type of shopping/laundry carts on Amazon. When you look closely, there only appears to be 2 or maybe 3 actual different manufacturers even though there are many more different names. With most of them there were too many negative reviews concerning quality, durability and strength for me. When I found this cart, it appeared to be more heavy duty than the others, and the price wasn't that much higher than the cheap ones. Picture a quality baby stroller and that is what this most resembles. In fact, it pushes just like a well made baby stroller also. The canvas looking liner is nicely sewn and very heavy duty. It has good quality wheels (two at each corner to distribute the load) and folds up like those canvas folding camp chairs (very compact - tall and slim). I am very happy with the quality of this cart and believe it will last for many years. If I find out otherwise, I will update this review. Definitely appears to be a very good value.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I thought the first one was defective and tried the second with the same result. I an returning these lamps and they are obviously not made properly.

I installed them in the rear of a 1983 mustang tail/stop lamp combination and they are BRIGHT! I read some complaints by other reviewers about the stop lamp circuit not being bright enough but I believe that concern was unfounded. These lights wake up the rear visibility to modern car standards. Great upgrade! I will be using these in the back of another car I own. Don't hesitate. Just do it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Sea World Resort; City: Main Beach Gold Coast Queensland; Review: This is a good (not great) resort. Rooms and beds quite comfortable and clean for family of four with 2 kids under 10, although some of the paint work was a bit chipped in the room. The pool area was good, although the pool floor needs repainting. The kids loved the spongebob play area.

Cleaners reasonably good, although on each day of our 4 night stay they seemed to time cleaning our room as we returning from a tiring day out at Disney.

I also like the use of light dumbells to add resistance. Thumbs up!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Firm - Cardio Dance Fusion; Brand: Alison Davis; Review: For anyone who doesn't like the "traditional" style of cardio workout, this is your DVD! It incorprates several dance styles to create a really fun cardio workout. Now don't get me wrong, you sweat like crazy too! Allsion builds each set of moves perfectly so you never really stumble around.

I really reccomend it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Southern Ocean Villas; City: Port Campbell Victoria; Review: We booked 2 nights in their 3 bedrooms apartment. It's in a good location as it's near the 12 apostles national park. However, it is not near the Port Campbell town centre. If given a 2nd chance, I would book the apartment facing the Port Campbell jetty. It was a pleasant 2-night stay but 1 bathroom for 6 adults is really too little. We enjoyed our time in Port Campbell tremendously. Mainly because of the beautiful and magical 12 apostles.

Title: Hotel de la Mairie; City: Sarlat la Caneda Dordogne Nouvelle Aquitaine; Review: We were allocated Room 4 at the Attic Level. The room was rather dark and old. The carpet was worn off and seems dirty. The shower room was extremely small and we constantly hit the shower walls & door when we were bathing. We also had to let the shower run for about 2-3 minutes before we could get hot water through the pipe. The hotel was located by the square and it was very convenient as the Saturday market was just down stairs. Overall, I was not happy with my stay there. Sarlat is rather small and compact hence being near the square is not really an advantageous factor.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Villa La Contessina; City: Sorrento Province of Naples Campania; Review: We reached Sorrento on a super wet rainy evening. We were driving and was lost. We called Anastasia for help and she was most most helpful. She knew that we had to return our car to hertz soon as the traffic police will be closing the street towards hertz. She drove to hertz, we followed behind her car. Then we sat in her car back to the villa. We must had been blind as her villa is just by Piazza Antonino! There is no signage outside her villa so visit her website for more information. The room we were allocated was near the main gate. It was comfortable and spacious. It was a pity we could not access the garden as another group had booked the main villa. Location wise, it is perfect. It is near the port and also near the city centre. The only negative is that our room was near the road and the gate. Hence the traffic was a bit noisy and whenever people entered the villa, we could hear the gate shut. We enjoyed our stay here and especially Anastasia's warm hospitality. Book this place now!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Il Cuore Namba; City: Naniwa Osaka Osaka Prefecture Kinki; Review: I stayed 2 nights in this hotel. I was a bit apprehensive as it was very affordable, compared to my other hotels. However, I was very pleased with the amenities it offered and the great location was faultless. I took the Shinkansen from Kyoto to Shin Osaka using the JR Pass and transfer to the Midosuji Subway Line and stopped at Namba Station. This namba station (midosuji subway line) was the nearest to the hotel. After which was getting my orientation right and making used of the underground passage ways to get to the nearest exit. The hotel room was a little small but was sufficient for both of us. All the standard amenities you expected to find in a Japanese hotel were present (yukata, slippers, boiler, bathtub etc). It was conveniently located at Namba and there were full of buzz everywhere. Takashimaya was just round the corner, Dotombori and the infamous Glico man was just a 15mins nice walk away. I visited Koyasan and the train departed from the Nankai Namba station which was directly opposite the hotel. I also took the Nankai Airport train to Kansai International Airport on my departure day. For the price I paid, I really had nothing to complain about. I would stay here once more if I ever were to visit Osaka again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kyoto Century Hotel; City: Kyoto Kyoto Prefecture Kinki; Review: Lobby is a bit dark and old looking. Room are ok. Best thing about the hotel is the location. Just next to the train station.

Don't have to walk straight to the main route then take a roundabout turn to the small street and back; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Carrington Hotel; City: Katoomba Blue Mountains New South Wales; Review: There are some plus and minus experience during my stay at The Carrington Hotel. Location: Excellent! The hotel was only 5 mins away from the train station and it was very convenient for tourists liked me with luggages visiting Katoomba by train. In addition, a lot of buses (both tourist buses and public buses) depart outside The Carrington Hotel. Many good eateries (high ranking on TA) nearby too. Room: Not their fault but totally my husband's negligence. He booked the traditional room without realizing that it did not come with an attached bathroom. We just found it rather unexpected that there were still hotels where guests had to use shared bathroom facilities. But I suppose this is a heritage hotel nearly 120 years old so many of the old features are retained. The floors and room furniture in my bedroom were creaky and I had the fear that I would break something. I suppose this did add to the charm of staying in this historical landmark. My bedroom was spacious and the bed was clean and comfortable. We found the bedroom very stuffy. This must had been a common feedback as they provided a standing electric fan in the wardrobe and we used it at night. Shared bathroom: The shared bath area was very big. If I recalled correctly, there were about 2 rooms with standing shower, 3 rooms with bathtub and 4 toilet cubicles. They were all kept very clean and they were each spacious with high ceiling. Noisy: We stayed on a Saturday night and they had a wedding function. There was singing till 1030pm and we could hear everything from our bedroom. It was very noisy and we were rather disappointed as we were trying to catch up on some sleep due to jet lag. Otherwise I suppose 1030pm was a reasonable time to end the celebration in consideration for their hotel staying guests' comfort. Continent breakfast: Our booking came with continent breakfast. Simple spread with a few selection of Danish and toast, fruits, cereals, ham, juices, coffee and tea. The highlight of breakfast was the dining room. They did have a hot breakfast menu but I didn't have a chance to try it as I was rushing to catch my train. Overall a pleasant experience.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Even had a slice of cake from the Lucky Cupcake as a desert at Earl's restaurant that was awful - everyone at the table said so. The other desserts were way better we tasted that night. Sorry Lucky Cupcake, but a lot of people I've spoken to feel the same way..maybe time to switch up some recipes. And the icing on the cupcakes is so bad.

Title: Omni Houston Hotel; City: Houston Texas; Review: I went with my new girlfriend on a Houston trip. The reason was actually to go to the R.Kelly concert as I´m a great fan. Obviously due to the fact I had never been on a trip with my girlfriend before I wanted everything to be perfect. But I also planned some shopping in the trip and therefore I did not want to spend too much either. It had to be best value for it´s price. After searching a whole lot of hotels, reviews and booking sites I came out on the Omni Houston hotel. The reviews pretty good (on average). And we decided to book the hotel for 3 nights early June 2011. Now, I can tell not any bit of the hotel was worth even thinking bad. It was a great hotel, great staff, great room, 10th floor view on Houston downtown (although still half an hour drive away). Great price, we booked directly on the hotel website and took the breakfast package. Was this a great way to start the day! Incredible breakfast, fresh fruit (a lot!) fresh bread, amazing omelets to pick from. I´m pretty used to eat "plastic" breakfast in American hotels, this is a great exception. The staff friendly, with a smile all the time...This hotel was really worth every dollar spent. There 3 ways of parking, valet, which is pretty expensive, park yourself in the lot in front of the main entrance, and a free parking at the back of the hotel, it is not even really a walk, it is so close, and to be honest, I hate paid parking, so this was a great alternative, at working days you validate the ticket at the reception desk and your free to go. I really cannot think of anything bad about this hotel. The room was also really clean, great king size bed...an unforgettable experience. I would definitely recommend any kind of trip to Houston, this hotel. You do need a rental car if you fly in through Bush Intercontinental. Taxi would cost you a fortune. Ah, wait...there is one point...internet will cost you 10 bucks less tax. That is something out of this time I think. Internet should definitely be free for paying guests. But hey, if you are with your girlfriend what you need internet for?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Ibis Hermosillo; City: Hermosillo Northern Mexico; Review: This hotel is a good place to stay if your staying is limited. It is a very clean hotel, rooms are not big, shower is great (although it is difficult to turn on the water and not get wet with cold water, because of the door blocking the tap). Bad thing is that the breakfast is not included in the price. Else it would have been a really good offer. Hotel is safe, elevator can only be used with room key. It was cold though when I was there. And the airco can be placed on heating, but it takes a few hours to feel the difference. All in all, a pleasant stay, not too expensive and polite desk attention.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Bildungszentrum 21; City: Basel; Review: This hotel is really very good, stayed there for almost a week due to business I was attending, the price is not low, but I guess all the hotels in Switzerland are expensive as is anything else...don't expect a lot of room, I stayed in a single room and got a single bed, not even queen, that was actually pretty new to me. The rooms a very simple. There is a tiny desk, a tiny bathroom and a tiny closet, the double room has more space but this converts in more open space only. The hotel is former monastery, still you see a lot of church like activities and rooms. There are a lot of conference rooms, there is a tiny gym, for running I'd suggest running outside though, for example along the river Rhein which is pretty close. The breakfast has the same set up every day, but there is enough variation to change. The bread, the cheese are fresh and really good! This breakfast made my day! There is a coffee room (nescafe) on the 4th floor. With a computer room. There is free wifi, which was a fast internet, no problem for me to log on onto the company VPN. Very important. Yo don't get kicked of the internet after 1 minute of not using it, also comfortable. The shower is fantastic, it is a very basic shower, but the water warm, the pressure good, no exception. Staff is very helpful, my wife came in for one night, meaning you have to get another room, I was transferred to another room, for double occupancy, this was no problem, I could be out, my suitcase was moved to the other room and all well settled. Take into account, if you have the reservation with this or any other hotel in Basel, print it out and you can use this for public transport. In the hotel they will give you a free public transport pass as well, but when you try to get to the hotel, you can use the printed reservation. For example I took busline 50 (airport Basel to SBB) and then busline 30 to the hotel (stop spalentor which is 100 m from the hotel), this saved me 38 euros (cost taxi, airport Basel to hotel). Basel is not too big, the old centre, which is very nice, is right around the corner, all is in walking distance. Basically, I had a very pleasant stay in this hotel, I would recommend it, however if you are looking for something luxurious, this will probably not be your first choice. It is not the kind of hotel you could stay in inside all day.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Occidental Nuevo Vallarta; City: Nuevo Vallarta Pacific Coast; Review: First of all, I had to book a resort in Puerto Vallarta because I was planning my wedding in the beaches of that city. From foreign origin I invited my family and we had to get a good value/quality as especially my family came from Europe. My family came with 11 members, so they wanted to book a combined trip from an agency. Not all hotels are available from those agencies. But we ended up with Occidental Grand. That was a very attractive priced resort, not too big, and had fairly good reviews. Since we were in October, the rates were even in 40% discount. Strangely when we contacted the hotel for their wedding packages, they never actually responded, so fast enough we moved the wedding party to the Sheraton. Ok, about the resort, I have a small complaint about the reservation, initially I booked a pretty challenging period, the hotel has different prices for 1or 2 persons occupying the room. Initially my to be wife, would not be able to join me for the 2 weeks I would be staying with my family. But getting the reservation directly for. E and my wife by phone, they told me it would not be a problem. No cancelation fee, no problem if we would face any changes. The change happened, suddenly my wife to be, could join me practically the whole period, just checking out on the night before the wedding to stay in the Sheraton. Arriving at the hotel however, they told me that this was a problem, so to fix this, I had to call with the call center, because now that my wife to be joined me from the first night, they would charge me suddenly desk prices, which is a huge difference. So I called the helpdesk which appeared to be in Spain. No worries, because it is free number from Mexico. But...due to time difference, in Spain it was already the next day. So they could not book me and my wife in...that would be like booking someone into the past... Fortunately, the contact on the phone was REALLY helpful, and arranged everything with the hotel. I had to explain the situation and they told me they would get back to me by phone. They did, and even arranged a better price than my earlier reservation, great service! Another problem, my sister arrived, 6 weeks pregnant, I know...maybe not so good idea to travel, and indeed was bleeding a lot, I had to take her to the hospital, which is right in front of the hotel, long story short, everything perfectly fine, but had to take one week of absolute rest. Just lying down, no walking, no sitting down...pretty hard when you are in paradise, but your talking about saving your babies life! So do-able. The hotel does not count with room service, but my brother-in-law explained the situation, and everyday, for a week, they brought my sister food, 3 times per day, AMAZING! A lot of people complain about the all inclusive drinks, too sweet, well it; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Indianapolis South; City: Indianapolis Indiana; Review: This hotel is starting to get familiar to me. On business in Greenwood, I always stay here. I start to feel at home here. The rooms are always clean, as well are the bathrooms. Greatly situated around nice restaurants and shops. Free internet, fast enough for working with VPN. The only reason I do not provide 5 star review is because the hotel does not offer free breakfast. You spend easily 8 to 10 dollars on the breakfast including coffee. And breakfast is something that a lot of competition does offer. Also I would suggest to renovate the rooms to a more modern look, for example the Fairfield look, would also be something for the Courtyard.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: La Joya Pachuca; City: Pachuca Central Mexico and Gulf Coast; Review: I stayed at La Joya Pachuca just for one night to be able to see some nice attractions nearby (the tiny city of Mineral del Chico and prismas basalticos near San Miguel Regla). I stayed here acompanied by my parents. Just to make sure there is enough time to see above mentioned places. The hotel complied with what we needed. A clean place, close to these attractions, not to expensive, good breakfast (buffet breakfast at the Sanborns located within the same building) There are some restaurants nearby where you can grab some food. It is really nothing special, but was pretty ok for what we were looking for.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Maximilian; City: Weil am Rhein Baden Wurttemberg; Review: I was in Weil am Rhein for business, two nights. So the hotel was basically chosen for me. Personally I would not be returning to this hotel anymore. It is basically not anything special at all. It is all very basic. The staff is really passive. Does not have a service attitude. And I saw various people working there. The rooms are spacy, but the internet (free) is limited to two equipment at the time. And when you want to switch it, it keeps on telling you are still using two devices. I brought four devices that connect to wifi. It is practically not possible to really use this, switching between the devices. The bathroom has a bathtub. Personally I would never user a bathtub in a hotel. So for me it is strange this still exists. There are poor bathroom amenities available in the bathroom. After showering I found water on the bathroom floor, all two mornings. No clue where this came from. The mattresses are too soft. The flatscreen was of a regular size, no problem, the windows are good isolated, when you open them, there is a lot of noise, closing the window you isolate this completely, which is good! The roof terrace is perfect! Unfortunately the weather was not good enough to fully enjoy this area. Breakfast is basic, not a lot of choices offered. But that what is offered is good. The hotel is situated on the 6th and 7th floor of a building which is part of a small shopping center. This ara is exactly the point between Switzerland, Germany and France. Connecting the countries via bridges. But not a lot of good restaurants are close. All in all, an average experience, I think the hotel has lot's of opportunities to grow, especially in service. It will not stick around as a good memory in my travel experiences.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel One San Luis Potosi Glorieta Juarez; City: San Luis Potosi Central Mexico and Gulf Coas; Review: One hotels profiles itself with a clean, simple formula. Relatively cheap hotel with some basic extras. And that is exactly what this SLP facility is about as well. I had to be i. The region for business, was thinking to spend 3 nights, but the days loaded in the field, so I would only be needing a place to rest, check my mail and have a morning breakfast before I entered work again. The hotel is easy to find, it counts with sufficient parking spots (free of charge) it does count with a gate, but the guy in charge opens the gate without even asking where you are heading, so I doubt if it is really a safety measure. The internet is marvelous, works without errors. The hotel understands that people have 2 phones, a tablet and a laptop, so you need to be able to connect all, no problem here! The breakfast is actually quite good. Of course, it is simple, but all you need; coffee, yogurts, cereals, milk, fruit, eggs, bread, enough to start the day! The rooms itself are simple as well, but at least it gave me a clean feeling. For example no carpets on the floor, great! The bed is ok as the mattress strong. The pillows are a bit too strong, I found myself one with a yellowish color, I don't like that! More then a soap and shampoo is not provided in the bathroom. But the bathroom as well, is made of solid materials that give a clean impression. Shower works with nice hot water, no problems here. The reason I do not give more than 3 stars is the following: as mentioned, the one pillow with its yellowish cover, I do put my head on that, those dirty covers have to be changed! I asked for a top floor room, the building has 7 floors, I was put on the 5th, at first next to the elevator, but when checking they offered me a room at the end of the hall way, good! However, it is still noisy, you hear people talk, you can actually follow conversations. That, for me, is a construction mistake. Isolate the walls please! It turned out, from the 3 nights I reserved, I could only use 2, the second night I had to stay elsewhere, I was informed incorrectly by me colleague. So when I left after the first night and informed the desk I could not take the second night, but would be back for the third night, I would have expected some more understanding as of offering the complete night or at least half the night as a compensation. This was not the case. Last, when I returned for the third night, a group of students, I believe 2 full bus loads arrived at the hotel. Leaving me without any place to have breakfast in the morning. Staff did place an extra table in the dining room, but it was still far from enough. Besides that, there was no way to trash all these breakfasts, so all; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Schloss Reinach; City: Freiburg im Breisgau Baden Wurttemberg; Review: I like the hotel a lot, it is situated in the quiet surroundings of a little town called Munzingen. This is between the grape fields. I was here for. Business purposes and I think for that it is a really nice hotel. The rooms feel clean as well the bathroom, it is not too big though. Internet is only valid for half a day or so, and you have then to get a new password, which is pretty annoying. Pillows in the room are too soft, with not a lot of support. I find the food in the restaurant a little too expensive, but I guess for European standards it is a pretty common price. The town itself is too small to really do anything. Freiburg is between 30 and 35 euro taxi drive away. But there is also a line bus stopping in the village. No idea how long that takes to Freiburg and how much it cost. The garden in the middle of the hotel is big and nice, great place to stay when the weather is nice. If the weather is not nice, then I'm afraid there is not a lot of places you can stay within the hotel, so then you should find an alternative elsewhere. Breakfast is super, it has variety, fresh bread, fresh cold meats and cheeses, I love it! But I can imagine some people prefer some hot dishes, those are not available. Service in the hotel is very good, great staff, very helpfull.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Maximilian; City: Weil am Rhein Baden Wurttemberg; Review: This was actually my second stay in one year. The hotel is not very modern. But it has all facilities you need. In my opinion the room was clean, and I canmot say that from all hotels I have stayed in. I have been here for business, and only needed the room to rest after daily meetings. For that the room is just fine. The town is pretty boring, the comercial center does not have a lot of interesting features. But if you like running, you can take a real nice run along the Rhein river to Basel centre coming back through Hunique, which is the French part. The comercial center is closed on Sundays and public holidays. And then it is even harder to find anything to eat. The internet is fast enough bad thing is, not paying atention to the device you are busy with and you have to login again. Also you can only connect 2 devices. This is too little for many people, especially when people are visiting for business. The breakfast is actually pretty good. Good and fast service from the ladies. The food and drinks are always available and of good quality. The room to eat in is small, but fast rotation and cleaning by the ladies makes it easy to not wait at all! All in all, the hotel is nothing special, but a very good place. To stay you do not need to be there all the time. ll rooms have different layouts, so it depends where you are being placed. I have heard that rooms on the 6th and 7th floor are the best, on the 5th is not so good. Not sure if the daily tariff is different for these floors. You can use sauna and gym in the same building on the second floor, get your pass at reception. Haven't tried the gym, so not sure how it is like.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Indianapolis South; City: Indianapolis Indiana; Review: I use this hotel easily 2 to 3 times a year. Never let me down! I need internet, it is always working, I can connect various devices! The staff is amazing, there has been some rotation I noticed, but the staff is and has always been friendly. I'm not that font of the interior design of the rooms, I would say a little bit outdated. But the bed is very comfortable. The airco is working fine, the rooms are clean and have all the things you needs. It is pretty easy to hear the people upstairs, that is a bit a downside comment, the windows are pretty air tight, closed you hardly hear the I65. I would definitely come back here!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dorint Resort An den Thermen Freiburg; City: Freiburg im Breisgau Baden Wurttemberg; Review: I have to admit, I was not able to use the facilities of the hotel. I Was there for business meetings. But what I do know is that the hotel is perfectly located in the woods just outside Freiburg. It is so nice and quiet. I really enjoyed my stay here. The room is not too big, but is definitely nice for the purpose. Enough space to move about. Nice modern design. It is kept clean. The food (breakfast) has a lot of variation. Really nice ingredients. The wifi is a bit of a bother. Only 2 devices can be connected and you lose connection all the time. For some reason the settings are not guarded. So constantly you have to enter again. The speed of the Internet is good. Dinner and bar services are slow, but the quality of the food is amazing! It is a bit on the expensive side, but worthwhile. Personnel is very friendly and always willing to help. In our group we did have a bad experience. A bag was taken from the meeting room. Not known if a guest or personnel took this bag... This is a perfect place to relax. Or for business reasons. I would not see this for a romantic getaway.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Queretaro; City: Queretaro City Central Mexico and Gulf Coast; Review: The only good thing on this review is the fact that I myself did not went here! My wife actually had a business week planned around this hotel. The rooms may still be ok, but talking about the food, we are talking a disaster! The breakfast buffet service is in fact horrible, and I'm not even mentioning the bizarre low quantities. The quality is just not acceptable for this chain. This seems to be a staff problem, because as well the contracted dinner menu absolutely badly prepared. Not talking just one day. Taking whole week. To make things worst, the hotel only counts with valet parking. A 200 USD sunglasses was taken by one of the parking rats out of the sunglass compartment of the car. My wife is orrery font on sunglasses, there is no way she would have forgotten these glasses in another place. This is the worst thing that can happen to you as a traveler, that things get taken away in situations you cannot control. For me this is a direct attack to the brand, that should act on these kinds of reviews to validate their staff's behavior. Courtyard has a good reputation if you ask me. But these kinds of experiences make me cautious before booking the brand next time. I would suggest everybody else would do the same thing as well.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: B B Hotel Basel Weil am Rhein; City: Weil am Rhein Baden Wurttemberg; Review: This place is a great place to crash. It is relatively cheap (comparing market prices). I arrived outside "office" hours, and had to make the check-in through the computer in the hallway. First time I was confronted with a check-in that digitally. I had a reservation for one night. And all went ok. The computer printed out the room number and the entry door unlock key. The same number is then used to unlock the room door. The room is extremely small. But if your purpose is to crash, perfect! No luxury at all. But all you need. A bed, a toilet and a shower. I could not hook up to the Internet. The manual indicates 5 simple steps to connect. But in the end I never received the Internet code that was supposed to be sent to my mobile. Maybe the fact it is a foreign number is due to that... The room is tidy. I felt it was clean. As well the shower area. The shower was good, good water and warm. The beds were a bit hard, but comfortable enough to rest. The smell entering the room was a bit funny, but once in, you do not smell it anymore. I would NOT suggest to stay here longer than needed. It is a fast and relative cheap solution to spend the night. That's it. But for a fast in and out it is not so bad at all. I entered at 23:30 and left at 07:30 for that purpose it was perfect! Did not use the breakfast, too expensive for what you get. So I took the breakfast in the airport. Not cheap either, but better quality!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Ibis Hermosillo; City: Hermosillo Northern Mexico; Review: For sure Ibis is a budget formula. This was my second stay, and I have used different budget chains as well. For sure the concept of Ibis is perfectly fine. The room is small but acceptable for a short period of staying. The Internet is easy to work with. I did not notice any restrictions on multiple use (computer/cell phones). I was not very pleased about the bathroom. The shower door opens the wrong way, so when you open the tap the cold water runs over your arms. But hey, that might just be a small detail. The toilet seat looked dirty, but was dirty because of the multiple use. Aging, so not really taking about not having been cleaned. I do recommend that they change the seats. As this gives a bad impression. The breakfast has to be bought separately from the room charge. At 99 pesos. The quality is not so good. There is plenty of choice but the taste is not good enough. All in all, for a one night stay, I would recommend the hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Marriott Puebla Hotel Meson del Angel; City: Puebla Central Mexico and Gulf Coast; Review: This hotel is easy located along the highway Mexico-Veracruz. Do not take the elevated tollway because you will pass the exit. Fairly close to downtown Puebla, some 30 minutes from the luxury area called Angelopolis. I used my Marriot points for a 2 night stay. And I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised about the complex and the friendliness of the personal. The bell boy was very social, explaining us some things to do in town. Although on check in I was first asked if I wanted to buy an upgrade, or if I wanted to pay 10usd per night using the rooms in the newer tower. At the end I took the newer tower rooms and did not regret it. First thing I noticed in the room is the wooden floor! I hate carpet floors in hotel rooms. And a lot of Marriot rooms still have carpet. The room was modern, nice TV, excellent bed, great lamps and sofa. Incredible bathroom! Stayed on the 6th floor with a great view on the Popocatlpetl Vulcan (if the weather allows it). The WiFi meets Marriot standards and no issue here at all. The complex is indeed large as other reviews mention. But not an issue for me. I believe this hotel was build in many phases as the architecture is different from any wing. Inside the lobby, bar and stores are modern. Nicely decorated. The 2 restaurants are close to the lobby and located around the swimming pool area. The breakfast we took was very nice, high quality food, lots of variation. A very service orientated waiter, a chief of staff revising if all is ok. I actually enjoyed the breakfast a lot! Although I think the price of 20usd per person is somewhat high. The complex has an exclusive area which I did not buy so I cannot give my opinion about that area. Possibly that area has a better swimming pool area then the main area. Also the gym is located close to that exclusive area. Could not try that out. We asked the waiter if we could some help cleaning my baby's milk bottles. Friendly they helped us out and brought back the bottles in our room. I really appreciated that service. In the end I can tell I had a great time in the hotel, I could use the nights to get some rest, I highly recommend this hotel when you visit transforming Puebla.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: City Express Irapuato; City: Irapuato Central Mexico and Gulf Coast; Review: This City Express is a good alternative for a quick overnight stay in Irapuato. The staff is well educated, very friendly. As always in these low budget hotels you should not be expecting too much. But what is offered is enough to make your stay worthwhile. I needed a crip (baby) in the middle of the night. En this was armed in no-time. The internet is slow. For regular web pages there is no problem. But when you start looking at pictures or movies it won't be loading. Access to the web is easy, and fortunately after leaving and coming back, the settings are remembered so you don't have to log in again. The room is clean. The beds are hard. But not even that bad. The problem in the rooms is the noice. The walls are very thin. This is ridiculous! The bathroom has all necessary equipment. But the water pressure is bad, the shower therefore is a bit irritating. The tap in the bathroom is annoying as well. The water comes out a bit weird wetting you when opening the tap too much. The breakfast, which is included, is as expected. Not a lot of quality here. But surprisingly there is some variance. This type of breakfast is good enough to have something in the stomach. In the end there is a Starbucks around the corner and a big mall with all kinds of meal options. All in all, if you don't expect too much this is an excellent hotel especially if your stay is short. It is definitely worth the money.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas; City: Cabo San Lucas Los Cabos Baja California; Review: The Riu Palace Los Cabos is an excellent hotel. I booked the hotel from their own website as this appeared as attractive as other sites. The upside booking from the Riu website was that I could get a free transfer from and to the airport. This is 30-45 minute ride. As always arriving at a beach airport you have to find yourself a way to get through the timeshare offers. At the San Jose del Cabo airport this is not different. Within the the terminal they try to sell tours or time sharing just outside the terminal are the transport pickups. Hotel beds (the transporting company working with Riu) was not dressed or easily announced. But asking around we could locate them. Not a lot later we were on our way. The reception was fast and good organized. But we only arrived with a small van. Not sure how this works when you arrive by touring car. We were assigned an ocean view jr. Suite as reserved. But around me at check in I also heard people complaining and being angry about something, could not overhear the problems. I guess you cannot always satisfy everyone at a 100%. I do think that in those cases a supervisor or manager should take the people apart and try to find a solution. I did not see such a function appearing here. The room was amazing! Straight ocean view on the 4th floor and a balcony. Nice king size bed. Amazing mattress. The room felt clean as well as the bathroom. Modern but not the latest standard. In the end you spend all day outside anyways. But it is great to see the ocean and hear it in the morning waking up. The food surprised me for being an all-inclusive! We all know that these hotels serve a lot of people at ones, so temperature is always an issue. But in this case not so much. Deserts did remain good temperatures. Hot food did lose it fast. And only if you are at the counter when they refill you can have the food warm. But there is enough variety in my opinion. The theme restaurants are nice, no reservations needed. It does takes a while before you get served and there is a lot of time between the plates. I was not bothered with that as I was on vacation! The drinks are supposed to be using premium brands. In comparison with Riu Santa Fe. However for me the drinks have very few alcohol in them. Again, not really a surprise here. The wifi was good. I expected it a lot slower. Easy access and automatic entry if you leave the hotel and get back. You are not being thrown out every hour. Personal in the Riu Palace is great. Very friendly and well organized in their activities. There is enough people to make sure the tables can be used by the next guests. Everybody is working hard. I was pretty amazed seeing how good this was all coordinated. But as a guest you get; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Indianapolis South; City: Indianapolis Indiana; Review: I have been to the place for some years now. It is a good place, I cannot really complain about it. The only thing I have been saying for years is the interior of the room. It is a little outdated. The beds are really top to me, soft matresses but comfortable. I really get a good night sleep here. Even though the hotel is close to the interstate, it does not bother me at all. Tv's have been replaced, at least in the room I was. So a bigger screen, this was good! The room is always cleaned up properly. Although I do not make it too hard for cleaning either. I believe the equipment in the gym was also replaced. The air conditioning was malfunctioning though. It got pretty hot inside. The furniture in the lobby also changed to a more modern look. I do not tend to stay much time there though. The staff in lobby and restaurant are the only issue. They are very slow and seem not to be prepared in guest handling. But this did not reconsider my review classification.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Orion JWF; City: Itatiba State of Sao Paulo; Review: This hotel is ok, I understand that in Itatiba there is not a lot of variance to choose from. In that aspect the hotel is simply ok. It is clean, no carpet on the floor. Internet is free and working good. The pool is nice! No too big though. The rooms are spacey but...boring interior. Air conditioning is loud. And you have to use this in the winter. It is simply too humid and too high temperatures. The breakfast was horrible. Flies in the yoghurt. Fruit that already enters in stage you doubt if it is good to handle. The gym is outdated. Personal is very friendly! No issues here!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Mercure Sao Paulo Moema; City: Sao Paulo State of Sao Paulo; Review: The hotel is really nice. It looks like it was previously a department complex and they turned it into hotel. My room had actually a small living room and a bedroom. In both rooms tv. The bathroom was small but ok. There was even a sink in the living room. Wifi was easy available. On the top floor there is a swimming pool and a small gym. Breakfast is available at extra cost. I would recommend to use the Starbucks close by. The breakfast in the hotel is expensive and there is not much to choose from. I was not happy with the quality of the breakfast. The Ibiripuera park is at 10 minutes walking. This is a great park. Bicycles can be rented. But if you like running, this is a great place to be. Museums are also available. I felt safe in the neighbourhood. Even in the middle of the night. All in all, a great hotel to stay!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Indianapolis South; City: Indianapolis Indiana; Review: I have stayed many times in this hotel and it was always good, both interior, facilities and people. I am truly shocked about today’s situation. On arrival the one and only elevator in the building appeared broken. This should have been resolved in one day. When I left 4 days later it was still broken though. In the rooms I still see the same old carpet as from years and years ago. The shower is still within a half bathtub. The mosquito protection on the balcony is no longer attached to the rails it should move on. So it falls all the time. The wallpaper in the bathroom is falling off. Carpet in stair house is outdated and worn out. The service both on reception as well as in the cafeteria is slow and little client friendly. I always stay in this hotel for company meetings I have 3 times per year. I will ask for another hotel the next time I will be in Indy. There is lot’s of choice. Bed is still great, tv is bigger size now. Gym airco was working this time. Internet is working good. Still I would recommend to avoid this hotel until some mayor maintenance has taken place.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Parque Fundidora; City: Monterrey Northern Mexico; Review: I personally think the night charges are overrated for this hotel. The overall state of the hotel does not justify what they charge. Having said this, I do not think it is a bad hotel. But perhaps that is due to the location. It is right in front of the fundadora park. Which is a great park!! The complete hotel from the outside and the inside looks pretty outdated. From the lobby to the restaurant. The elevators, gym, etcetera. You see quite some humid damage all over. And that also repeats itself in the rooms. Outdated interiors. Small tv’s. Furniture that looks to have spend its best years, years ago! My wife uses this hotel for congresses as it is located also right outside the Congress center. And she warned me that all was not too good. So maybe, just maybe my expectation was lower to begin with. And all in all, it was not that bad at all. The breakfast was not good, but also not bad. Some fruit could not be eaten anymore. The egg service however was good. Coffee did not taste so good. I used the swimming pool and the gym. Both could be cleaner but was ok. Towel services were provided. Internet was working good. Was free. Bed in the room was very comfortable. That was the most positive thing I can mention.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Monterrey Airport; City: Apodaca Northern Mexico; Review: Unfortunately I missed a flight on a Sunday night and had to stay the night close to the airport of Monterrey. This, I believe, is the only alternative on airport’s ground. But it is a great option! The hotel is clean, modern design, open lobby, spaces. I could not make the check-in until I had a reservation. I am a Hilton Honors member so it took me only a minute to make the reservation. Then back to the reception and receive my key. The room is not too big, but big enough, simple but modern decorated. Great beds! Good and simple internet connection. Great bathroom. Shower with not enough pressure but good enough. The gym is nice, not too big, one running machine was broken. Air conditioning was turned off and locked by key. That was the only downside I could consider in this hotel. I took a room including breakfast, the breakfast is small but all you need. There is an egg service. The option are good enough, good fruit! I enjoyed it! All in all, a really good option. The location obviously is not the nicest one, but it was very convenient at walking distance to terminal A and connected with a walking bridge to terminal B (Aeromexico terminal). This really is one of those hotels where you cannot complain about. At least this is my experience!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Queretaro Centro Historico; City: Queretaro City Central Mexico and Gulf Coast; Review: As I mention in the title, I was quiet surprised by this place. Came here for the Independence Day weekend in Mexico. The down town center is pretty close to the hotel. The interior is like an old “hacienda” but the rooms are pretty modern designed. This does not look that way when you walk through the hallways. But I really liked the place! The internet is good, self explaining and good speed. The beds are great! The bathroom is so and so but acceptable. Carpet in the room is not my favorite. But acceptable as well. The breakfast was ok, but in my opinion not worth the cost it brings. Good thing was that there is lots of choices and the fruit and all are fresh and good. The pool they have is warmed! Not too big, but ok. I really liked the public interiors of the hotel, the lobby, the restaurant decoration, the bar. There is lots of parking space and this is free for guests. Nice big green area with playground for the kids. Easy accesible if you have a room on the ground floor with access to it. The only negative part I could mention is that the location is straight at the highway. But the rooms are pretty isolated so the noise so this wasn’t even a big bother after all. Great place to stay! Really recommend it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Barcelo Puerto Vallarta; City: Puerto Vallarta; Review: After a year of hard work, I thought I deserved a vacation. And I was looking for it in Puerto Vallarta. My wife suffered an incident a week before the vacation, fortunately she was able to join the family. I chose an all inclusive resort on purpose, since I did not want to be bothered with expensive hotel food or going out to find food. But I had to take vacation in a period I never go...Christmas...I always said I won't book vacation in Mexico in the Christmas period or the Easter period. Everything is full, expensive and bad service and food...I have to admit, this Barcelo Puerto Vallarta surprised me! On check in I could not get an upgrade, unless I paid for it, something I already thought it would be, for being high season. Since I have a 3 year old son, and he wanted to go to the beach and swimming pool all day, I did not bother to get a better room. I would be out all day anyway, only be there to sleep. The room was very spacious, it was stated all was remodeled, but to my opinion it was not that modern any way. The room was good. The bed excellent. The bathroom big, good water from the shower. 2 TV's, internet not free, unless you have premium package or are Barcelo member. First night I was given a wrong access code anyway, could not get in. The internet afterwards was ok, sometimes not stable. Very spacious balcony as well. The room in all was perfect for me and my family. I don't drink too much, so premium level was not really needed for me. What would be great is that premium level is located on the highest levels (7,8 and 9). But as I mentioned, I was out all day, so did not bother. All rooms have at least partially view to the sea. Staff in this place is top, very friendly, from restaurant staff to pool, maintenance and room cleaning. The restaurants surprised me. Not a lot of choice, but enough to get a good impression. The quality of the food was also good enough. All inclusive resorts are not typically well known for there food quality. This Barcelo was pretty good. Good variety, good temperatures. Even though it was really full. There were not lines so big it enjoyed me. Sometimes you have to wait a while for the egg station. If they would put 2 people there it would be solved. The theme restaurants are pretty good. Good choice and great taste. I have seen a lot worse in resorts. The swimming pools are amazing. 4 in total (including child pool). One is a little warmer than the other, so if you need that, it is an option. What I did not like is that around 8am you have to put your towels or else you won't get a chair all day long. People are not in their chairs all day long, but they have them "reserved" anyway. This should be managed; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: City Express Irapuato; City: Irapuato Central Mexico and Gulf Coast; Review: This City Express is a hotel I have stayed in before. It is a very simple hotel. But since it is a budget category that is what you get. I do have to say that this is a very reasonable option for a budget stay in Irapuato. It is conveniently located in front of a large mall. There is a Starbucks just outside the hotel. You do get a free breakfast in the morning, but it is all so and so. It will get you on your feet, but that's it. Internet is not very stable but it is free. Parking is free as well. The room is small but big enough to move around. The beds are comfortable. The shower does its job. Bathroom nothing special, but good enough. Ones again. For one night this is a very good option, the one thing I did not like is the wall noise. I realize the hotel needs to be built cheap. But a little more isolation to NOT hear your neighbors would be very appreciated.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hoteles Hi; City: Zapopan Guadalajara Metropolitan Area; Review: This is a great hotel if you just need to crash for the night. That's what I did. My family and I came from Puerto Vallarta. With still 5 hours driving ahead and already dark. We decided to crash in the hoteles hi Zapopan. It is by far the cheapest hotel in Guadalajara I would say. That it is cheap is pretty clear when you get to the room. Very simple. Very small. Everything... the bed, the tv, the toilet, the shower... but again. If it is for crashing the night that is not an issue. There is no breakfast included. Only a vending machine for some quick snacks. Free parking and free wifi is available, the wifi was not very stable. The noise from the outside and from neighbors are notable, that is the worst part. All in all I did not dislike my stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Boca Raton North; City: Boca Raton Florida; Review: I had a late arrival for this hotel, fortunately this was not an issue. I was welcomed in a pleasant way. Everything needed for the hotel was explained and I could enter my room. The room was comfortably big. Basically divided into two parts. A bedroom and a “living room”. In both rooms a flatscreen was present. We found the bathroom was not flushing good enough. Water accumulated in there. And it took a while before the water could leave, definitely something was stuck in there. Reported this early morning to the staff. And fortunately it was fixed immediately! The bad thing was that the room had not been cleaned after one night. The cleaning service did knock our door, but we needed 5 more minutes. They never went back. The hotel itself could use a renovation. The lobby was still ok, but the rooms are somewhat outdated. The parking lot provides enough space for all to park and is conveniently situated around the hotel. Good thing is that with the room key you are able to park using any part of the parking lot and enter close to where you are booked. The parking is free of charge. There is a little pool in the middle of the hotel. Could not use it. But it looked clean. Some people did use it. Internet is available and is stable with enough speed. The hotel is close to the Pondhawk Natural Area park. This is a great park for running! Also the hotel is only a few miles from the beach. There are quite a few public parkings so you can enjoy the beach. Also a lot cheaper compared to the Miami Beaches. Restaurants are also widely available. A breakfast can be taken in the hotel, but I did not use it. The breakfast was not free I believe. The beds are comfortable. They seem clean as well. The bathroom is not too big, is ok, nothing special. I think it was a bit too expansive for the quality of the hotel. But I do not regret my stay there.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Schloss Reinach; City: Freiburg im Breisgau Baden Wurttemberg; Review: Had an issue on arrival with my credit cards; lost them all. Nevertheless the hotel was understanding of the issue and offered me the room. Since the hotel was almost fully reserved by our company, this maybe was in favor of that decision. Nevertheless, all could be arranged fortunately. About the hotel itself. I had been there before, a lot seemed renovated. Since the complex is made out of various buildings, the rooms are different. I was in an older building, but the room was really nice. Even had a sauna in the room. The bed was amazing, the bathroom increíble (incl. the sauna). The room was clean, big, plenty of storage. Internet through the whole complex without any issue, fast and stable. The 3 restaurants are superb! Amazing quality of food. I tried the Italian and the German restaurant. If the weather is nice there is a lot of room in the outside of the hotel. With lots of seats and tables. Really nice. Gym and swimming pool as well as a spa is all available. Absolutely recommend this great place with its great personal. Btw if you like running, running along the whine fields in Munzingen is both fun and challenging, due to the hills!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Still picture quality is very good. Low-light raw images, however, seem quite grainy. Main problems: ridiculous mic plug needs an adapter to use standard 3.5 mm TRS. Tripod mount position blocks battery/memory card door. Micro USB connector, not standard mini. No meters for audio monitoring (video).

Title: Clark s Sunny Isle Motel; City: Summerside Prince Edward Island; Review: We stayed 3 nights at this motel for our first visit to PEI, which was in the mid-part of our 10-day vacation in Maine, New Brunswick and PEI. We have high praise for this motel and confirmed comments by others on the cleanliness, comfort and enjoyment of the renovated rooms. We were fortunate to spend the last 2 nights in the room with an outside deck and at no additional cost. The owners were very friendly and helpful in providing information on where to eat, what to see and directions to get there. Also appreciated their assistance and patience in resolving problems with our charge card and GPS (which we used for the first time).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Prague Old Town; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: We stayed for about a week in April 2013. Based on previous reviews, we paid an additional $25/night to get upgraded to the executive level room, which included the use of the Executive Lounge. It was $25 well spent. Our 8th floor view overlooked the main street & Marriot Hotel but was on the opposite end of the Executive Lounge which worked perfectly for us. It was quiet and we didn't deal with the many guests walking thru the 8th floor corridor heading to the Executive Lounge. Service was overall excellent especially at the Executive Lounge and the buffet breakfast in the lobby restaurant Zinc, which was included in the upgrade. In the Executive Lounge the evening cocktails, non-alcoholic beverages and finger foods were great to have after a long day of touring the city. Great to catch up with news on their large flat screen TV as well. At both the executive level and the lobby level, were computer stations/printers for guests to access at no additional charge! The location of the hotel is in close walking distances to many attractions in Prague as well as good restaurants. Our best meals were discovered while wandering through the smaller, less crowded side streets in the Old Town. Room service was very good; kept our room tidy and clean. Fitness center has good equipment and is well maintained.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Grand Hiroshima Hotel; City: Hiroshima Hiroshima Prefecture Chugoku; Review: For us this was a great hotel to stay at during our 5 days in Hiroshima. Getting to the hotel from the Hiroshima Airport, we took the Bus Limousine to the Hiroshima train station; cost 1,300 yen per person one way -- about 45 minutes. The drop-off point at the Hiroshima train station was very convenient because the hotel is located directly behind the drop-off shelter -- about 200 feet away. The hotel personnel greet you on the ground floor and bring up your luggage to the check-in on the 6th floor and after check-in to your room. The check-in was quick and friendly. At check-in, we were informed that internet service in our room was complimentary. Our room located on the Club Lounge level was spacious, very clean, lay-out was aesthetically pleasing, and plenty of toiletries were provided. Although spacious...there were few drawers available to store our clothes and accessories. A few times we could hear some of the trains going by but it was not a distraction. The service in the Club Lounge was exceptional. The 3 ladies who staffed the lounge during different work shifts provided very professional, informative and friendly concierge services; they really looked after the visitors! The choices of meals in the Club Lounge were limited and monotonous and a bit odd in their choice of offerings. The Club Lounge atmosphere and view of the city made it a very relaxing place to use. There was only one computer station, which inconsistently provided a prompt option to change from Japanese to another language like English on the home page. The fitness center had good equipment, well maintained and was clean. Minor point is that all the TV stations on the video equipment on the exercise equipment were in Japanese. The hotel is located next to the Hiroshima train station, which made it convenient to visit Miyajima and Iwakuni. Also, it was close to the tram station, which made it convenient to visit the Hiroshima Peace Park and Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. There are a lot of good and reasonably priced eating places and shopping areas close by. One of the hotel employee Kim, who helped with our luggage, provided good information on where to eat when we arrived there late in the evening and also places to eat okonomiyake and various types of food. Located near to the hotel is a free shuttle from Hiroshima train station to Aeon Mall (shopping) and back which was a plus!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Morrison a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel; City: Dublin County Dublin; Review: This was our first visit to Dublin and stay at the Morrison Hotel . After our flight landed at Dublin airport at around 7:00 am we took an airport taxi to our hotel, The Morrison, a Double Tree by Hilton Hotel We arrived at the hotel around 8:30 am. The front desk receptionist, Alicja K., was very pleasant while checking us in. She informed us that our email request for an upgraded room was not available because the hotel was fully booked. One thing that bothered me on the way in by taxi was the fare of 47 Euros, which the taxi meter indicated. I asked Alicja what was the usual taxi fare from the airport to the hotel. She said between 25 to 28 Euros. She was very shocked at the amount that I paid. I told her that the main reason we took an airport taxi was that an article said that most of the Dublin taxi drivers were honest. I did receive a receipt from the taxi driver but found out later that it was a handwritten receipt and not an official receipt, which contains more detail information on the taxi ride. Alicja immediately said she would take "good care of us." She helped us store our luggage, said that we would be put on top priority when a room type we booked for becomes available (normal check-in time was 3:00 pm), and accompanied us to their Halo restaurant breakfast buffet, which Alicja said was complimentary for us. During our buffet breakfast, Alicja came by to notify us that our room was ready. This was around 9:30 am. After a very enjoyable buffet breakfast, we went to the front desk. Alicja already had taken our luggage out from storage and accompanied us to our room. What started off as a very bad taste and disappointment of our first experience with Irish tourist service/hospitality (a very dishonest taxi driver) was more than positively changed by Alicja's compassion, thoughtfulness and helpfulness. On departing the hotel seven days later, she arranged for the taxi service to the airport. The driver, who heard about the taxi driver that brought us to the hotel, was also upset by the over charge and informed us that the initial taxi driver probably took us the long way from the airport to the hotel. Our departure taxi fare was only 26+ Euros. Besides Alicja, the other front desk staff were very helpful answering our many questions and providing the delicious chocolate chip cookies. Also the housekeeping service was great by keeping our comfortable room clean and tidy. The location was convenient-close to many popular tourist sites, restaurants/pubs and a luas station. The fitness center was adequate. There were some minor disappointments: -- surprisingly no clock in the room; good thing we brought our own travel clock. -- my wife tried to make a wake-up call by phone, but when she pressed the wake-up call button, a delivery service (room service?) answered. Subsequently she called the front desk when arranging for wake-up calls. -- when my wife requested; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Doubletree by Hilton Hotel New Orleans Airport; City: Kenner Louisiana; Review: At the start of our first visit to New Orleans, we stayed the first 3 days/nights in a hotel located in the central business district (cbd). The stay was enjoyable but because the hotel room rate was going to be more than double for the last two nights of our visit and we were leaving very early in the morning for the airport on our last day in New Orleans, we decided to stay at the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel New Orleans Airport, which has free airport shuttle service. Since we didn't rent a car or planned to rent a car while at the Double Tree (DT), we thought our stay by the airport would be dull as compared to staying in New Orleans cbd. But thanks to the unexpected great service from some of the DT staff, our stay at DT was very enjoyable and memorable. The DT check-in staff was friendly and pleasant. The room was clean, comfortable and of good size. The room contained a micro-wave and mini-refrig, which we made good use of. The only shortcoming was there was no in room safe. Although our room overlooked the main road in front of the hotel and in the evening we saw a few planes taking off, the room was overall quite. Also, we were fortunate to see two beautiful sunsets from our room on the 7th floor. The breakfast buffet, which was included in our hotel room rate, had good tasting food and we thought was better than the breakfast buffet at the hotel we stayed at in the cbd. The fitness center was spacious and had good cardio equipment and some strength equipment. What we will always remember and tell others about our stay at the DT is the unexpected kind and gracious service from some of their staff: Christopher (shuttle driver), David S. (Food and Beverage Outlet Manager) and Eddie (night time front desk staff). They went out of their way to make our stay there very enjoyable and memorable (we must repeat this). Without asking them, they provided information and transportation to near-by places, which we didn't know about, and made the end of our stay in New Orleans wonderful with an exclamation point!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ANA Crowne Plaza Kumamoto New Sky; City: Kumamoto Kumamoto Prefecture Kyushu; Review: First time visiting Kumamoto and staying at this hotel. Took the airport limousine bus to the hotel; cost was 780 yen--purchased ticket before going on the bus. The bus schedule showed that the hotel would be about the 14th stop and take about an hour. Another reviewer said it was like a local bus. On the bus I rode on, the bus made only about 7 stops—if no one rang the bell to get off or if there was no one waiting at a bus stop, the bus driver did not stop. The airport limousine bus stop is located along-side the hotel by their parking structure—about a minute walk away from the hotel main entrance facing the river. Arrived at the hotel around noon and was told that check-in was at 2 pm, which also was the policy when I checked in at their hotel in Kyoto. This was no problem. I left my luggage with them and went exploring around the area. I returned around 3 pm and check-in, which went smoothly. When I asked for my luggage, I was told it was already in my room. A hotel staff member accompanied me to my room and on entering the room explained to me about items in the room. The room was clean, adequate space, comfortable and quiet. The bathroom was also clean and had good variety of toiletries. My room was on the 18th floor and had a nice view of the river. Things that were not mentioned in their web-site and were a pleasant surprise were a room safe and two complementary bottles of water provided daily (I don’t know if all rooms have complementary bottles of water). Breakfast, which was included in my room rate, was enjoyable. Good variety of Japanese and Western food. Food was tasty. Dining area was clean and modern. A tram station is about a 5-10 minute walk away. The train/tram station is about a 15-20 minute walk away. I only became familiar with the tram portion of the train/tram station. A good value is the all-day tram pass for 400 yen if you plan to do more than 2 hop-ons. There are a few shops and restaurants at the tram area at the train/tram station. Also what I enjoyed finding at the tram area at the train/tram station were a 100 yen store (Daiso), and there is a modern grocery store (Tsuruya Foody One) about 200 yards across from the tram/train station—good place to pick up food and drinks; there is also a 7-11 store about 3 blocks from the hotel. Leaving the hotel for the airport, there is an airport limousine bus stop right in front of the hotel--the hotel provided a time schedule for pick-ups. The bus I was on stopped at all the stations on the way to the airport. Cost was 780 yen--pay as you leave the bus. Cons on staying at the hotel: some of the furniture in my room were a little dated and appeared well used, but still functional. At times the room felt warm even; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hakodate Kokusai Hotel; City: Hakodate Hokkaido; Review: My first time in Hakodate and staying at the Hakodate Kokusai Hotel. Took the Hakodate Airport bus shuttle to the JR station. Cost 410 yen and took about 20 minutes. You might want to check if the shuttle may also make drop-off across the street from this hotel. A previous review mentioned when exiting the JR station looking right for the large, imposing LOISR hotel across the road. I couldn’t locate this hotel. Instead there was a Four Points by Sheraton hotel, which may have replaced the LOISR hotel. On the day I arrived, the weather was mostly sunny but very windy, which made it feel cold during the short walk from the JR station to the hotel. Arrived at the hotel around 1 pm and was informed the check-in time was 2 pm – no early check-in. Left my luggage at the hotel and walked around the area. Returned to the hotel around 3 pm to check-in. I was informed that my luggage was placed in my room. Initially I found the room small compared to others that I stayed at in Japan, but after a while I got use to it and found it to be adequate. The room pros and cons: --- Pros: clean; good housekeeping service; body wash towel provided (this was the only hotel that I stayed at in Japan that provided this as part of the toiletries) Cons: --- When I first entered the room in the late afternoon, I found it to be warm since it was facing the west. Tried to turn on the AC to cool the room but it didn’t work. I went downstairs to the reception desk and was informed that the AC cooling was turned off because of the outside cool temperature and to open the window to cool the room. Later I found that the AC heating worked but I never used it. --- There were only 4 hangers in the closet --- Very few drawers to put things in for a long stay (I stayed 5 nights) --- Toiletries: -- Shaving kit provided but without shaving cream -- No body lotion provided (this would have been helpful because of the dryness of the air) -- No shower cap provided --- There is a pot to heat up water but only two tea packets were provided; no coffee packets provided --- I stayed in the West wing hoping to get a room with the harbor view but I think the rooms for single occupants face Mt Hakodate and for two or more occupants their rooms would face the harbor. Great buffet breakfast and service. Good variety of food, which was very tasty. Good ambience and spacious seating area. The restaurant got crowded at times later in the morning and people had to wait to get in. Great location. Close to many sightseeing places and ground transportation. Good customer service with the hotel personnel that I interacted with. I had a late flight out of Hakodate Airport but found out that the hotel policy is check-out time is 11 am; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hotel Lunik; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: hotel lunik was a good choice in prague. it was clean and well presented. check in was slow and a bit odd (the receptionist seemed easily confused and wanted to keep my confirmation, but there may have been a language/culture barrier), but otherwise the rest of the staff was friendly and helpful. the location was quite good; not near the major tourist attractions, but that area was so touristy that i don't think we would have wanted to stay there. it's only a block from the subway, near plenty of places to eat and drink (we really liked the mexican restaurant around the corner), and next door to a drug store where we picked up bottles of water each morning for 50 cents american. plus, prague is a small city; so, except for taking the tram to the castle, we were able to walk pretty much everywhere. another plus, free internet in the lobby. but, skip the free breakfast (the danish was moldy and the rest of the food looked like it had seen better days). would not hesitate to reccommend this hotel to others.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Radio Inn; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: i used tripadvisor to pick this hotel; so, when we had a horrible experience i reread the reviews to see if i had missed something. i don't understand how people had positive things to say. the hotel was dirty, in ill repair, felt unsafe, the hotel staff was horrible, and the location was imperfect. we had problems from the get-go. admittedly arriving before check in time, the receptionist was immediately rude about this fact. she agreed to lock up our luggage, but i was not convinced that it would be safe. (my concerns were valid; when we came back the room our luggage was in wasn't locked.) after occupying ourselves for a couple hours, we wanted to unload the rest of our stuff before trekking around the city; so, we went to see IF the room was ready. we were very aggressively informed that it was not check in time, and we should not try to check in early. no big deal, can we get change at least to buy lunch because the atm only gave us big bills? again, we got attitude, and a refusal; she did, ultimately, consent to change one bill. when we asked if there was a place for lunch nearby, she looked like she had no idea why we would ask her that and sent us off with horrible directions to nowhere. (with the exception of one nice guy, the rest of the staff was also unfriendly.) when, we finally did check in; we found a room that hadn't been renovated in probably twenty years; toilet with a pullcord, gas stove that had to be lit by hand. old would have been okay if the place didn't look in disrepair; paint coming off the walls, etc. further, it was filthy; the floor hadn't been vacuumed, and i saw other people's hair, dust bunnies, fallen paint chips, bits of toilet tissue, and general dirt. the kitchen counters looked dirty, and there was a used sponge and gloves in the sink. not only that instead of beds, there were two long chaises in each room, each draped with a sheet that wasn't even big enough to cover it. there were plenty of towels, but the largest one barely wrapped around my body (and i'm small), and one was stained. worse than lack of cleanliness, the room felt unsafe. the door looked like it could be knocked down with one swift blow, and the outdoor hallway did not stay lit at night. other issues: 1. paper thin walls and high noise level; i must have woken up every hour thinking someone was in our room. 2. one morning there WAS someone in our room; my brother woke up at 7:15 to find the cleaning lady wandering around. 3. not only did they not clean our towels, but one day we came back to find dirty towels (like they'd been used to wipe up dirt) hanging in our bathroom. 4. even with the windows open (which made the room even noisier) the heat was quite uncomfortable. 5. they offered to call; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Berlin Mark Hotel; City: Berlin; Review: this was the first hotel we stayed in on a four-city europe trip, and it was our favorite. clean, safe, easy to get to (maybe two blocks from the u-bahn station), in an area with restaurants and places to eat, no problems with the staff, and totally affordable. one warning: we loved the location, right off ku'damm, because it was a fun area with lots of people, shopping, cafes, nightlife (checkout gainsbourg a few blocks away on savignyplatz) that we probably wouldn't have seen if our hotel hadn't been there. however, it's not particularly close to tourist attractions; so, be prepared to walk or take the u-bahn (both really easy to navigate). i would definitely stay at this hotel again and recommend it to others.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Paamul Hotel; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: I would say the former name, "Cabana Paamul", is probably a more apt description than calling it a hotel. The rooms are open air with individual ac units. Everything is tile--even the bed is elevated on a ceramic/terra cotta pedestal--because when it rains water ends up everywhere, but its no big deal (just don't leave anything on the floor), the staff comes around with a squeege and a mop. The staff, by the way, are all very friendly, but a minimal knowledge of spanish will definitely help to be able to communicate. In terms of other ammenities, there's cable tv, wi-fi access, and a blow dryer in the bathroom, but that's about it, no phones in the room, not even an alarm clock. You don't stay here for the ammenities, you stay here because it is an adorable, well-maintained room, with a balcony facing the beach, so close to the water you could throw something off your balcony and get it into the Gulf of Mexico. You stay here for the clean (not the case in downtown Playa), private beach that looks like a Corona ad. You stay here because you feel like you've left the real world, but a 20min car ride takes you into downtown Playa del Carmen where you can shop, eat, and barhop to your heart's content. (If you want to take the collectivo, you literally walk about a half-mile on the private road back up to the highway and stand on the side of the highway until one comes by, they will know to stop for you. Its 25pesos/person. I would recommend planning on taking a taxi back though if you come back at night, you're not going to want to make the walk after dark; a taxi is about 200pesos.) I will definitely try to come back and stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Grand Hotel Minneapolis; City: Minneapolis Minnesota; Review: This Kimpton property is exactly what you expect, stylish interiors, large, well-appointed rooms, and fun perks. Because I'm a member of their loyalty program, they gave me a $5 upgrade; the room was huge--I think the bathroom was larger than my (admittedly small) kitchen, there were three tv's including one in the bathroom (although that one didn't work). Unfortunately, the service was not up to par for Kimpton. I was pleased that they made sure my room was available early since I had a sort of strange travel schedule, but they were not very helpful otherwise. I was in town for a particular function, but asked about ways to occupy my time beforehand, and they really were not able to offer any suggestions; when I asked about a a good place to get coffee, I was directed to the nearest Caribou Coffee; when I asked for the best way to get to my function, I was handed a map; when I asked how much before my flight I should plan to arrive at the airport, the receptionist told me she hadn't flown recently. The worst part was I had asked about getting a taxi very early in the morning and was told that they could call me one; then, in the morning it ended up being a car service, which I didn't realize was going to cost me an extra $10. Apparently you have to specify if you want a cab and not a town car. They did make it right though; I called after returning home to let the manager know that I thought the staff should have been more communicative about the price difference, and he took $10 off my bill.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: JW Marriott Washington DC; City: Washington DC District of Columbia; Review: The bridal party stayed here the weekend of my brother's wedding. They made everyone very comfortable. The only complaint I could come up with is that we were admittedly a needy group (extra chairs for girls to get their hair done, extra glasses for the the groomsmen to toast before the wedding); the hotel always went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed, but the response time was sometimes so slow, we had to call multiple times to see if they were being attended to--its a pretty mild complaint. Also, make sure to mention if you want a view. I had an amazing view, but the bridal suite didn't!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Seneca Scourge; Author: Visit Amazon's Carrie Rubin Page; Review: This is an encouraging debut novel with a page-turning plot, well-developed characters, and convincing setting. Carrie Rubin's medical background serves her well in this medical thriller with a sci-fi twist. The harrowing central theme of a modern-day worldwide plague is nicely offset by a touch of ironic humor as seen through the eyes of the main character. The most serious flaw I saw was a tendency to substitute the simple past tense where the past perfect tense was grammatically required - an unfortunate trend that I have seen elsewhere. While occasionally distracting, this weakness did not seriously detract from my enjoyment of the book - a tribute to Ms. Rubin's skill as a storyteller. I look forward to seeing more from this author.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tangle Of Fates; Author: Visit Amazon's Leslie Ann Moore Page; Review: I enjoyed this first book in a new trilogy by Leslie Ann Moore. The story is beautifully imagined and thoroughly engrossing. Be forewarned: this first book leaves you not exactly on a cliff-hanger, but at a point of high tension in the story arc. I felt I had paused mid-breath, eager for more. This work is nominally sci-fi, set in the future on a colony world, but has something of a steam-punk feel with paranormal elements as well. Civilization has struggled back after a devastating war to a level of steam-powered vehicles and wired telephones. Electric power is dependent on scavenged fuel cells - and of course that's the least of what the archeological expeditions are hoping to find in the ruined cities of their ancestors - ancestors who had weapons capable of laying waste a planet. There's a marvelous menagerie of indigenous creatures - including a floating life form that's harnessed and used as dirigibles - all described in an impressive glossary. The human culture appears to have been Hispanic in origin, which gives an unusual flavor. There's a second humanoid race, the diminutive and endearing Tiqui, who also came on the colony ship and who have their own distinct culture that includes people with special healing powers and the ability to see the future. The protagonist, Deanna, is a strong and engaging heroine who moves through this creative mix, her path intertwining with those of an impressive cast of well-developed characters. Once past the opening section that has rather a lot of convoluted sentences, the writing becomes clear and clean, the story-telling smooth and effortless. I can't wait to see volume two.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

This is great on tile as well. The only issue I see is the pads are not holding up as far as the Velcro in the dryer they are shrinking slightly and the material dosent meet the Velcro fully so let them air dry once you have washed them.

Title: Rust Oleum 268652 Epoxy Shield Anti Slip Aerosol, Clear, 12-Ounce; Brand: Rust-Oleum; Review: I purchased this to spray over my existing tiled kitchen floor. My kitchen floor was so slick you could literally slide across the floor and was causing problems for our German Shepherd; she had a lot of problems sitting because her feet kept sliding out from underneath her. We sprayed this down on the floor, adding two coats, and it worked perfectly. However, after about 4 or 5 months the non-slip surface was worn away and we need to spray the floor down again. This is well worth the price and effort. Hopefully, it will help our 5 year old German Shepherd from getting hip dysplasia for a some time to come.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mr. Heater Fuel Filter for Portable Big Buddy Heaters #F273699; Brand: Mr. Heater; Review: Great little safety feature. Purchased this for the tent heater we use when we go camping.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Multi-Code 420001 300MHz Door Opener Wireless Keypad; Brand: Multi-Code; Review: Purchased two (2) of these. One worked great for about a week then stopped. The second was purchased to replace the first and it is still working fine after nearly a year.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: ETL 26781 Oxygenics Hand Held Sprayer Kit; Brand: ETL; Review: We replaced the standard shower head on our travel trailer with this one. We LOVE it. However, be warned!!! When pausing the water between soaping yourself up and rinsing off, TURN THE SHOWER HEAD AWAY FROM YOU BEFORE YOU PUSH THE PAUSE BUTTON THE OTHER WAY TO START WATER FLOWING AGAIN!!! We learned this the hard way!!! The pause works great allowing us to conserve water. However, when I started the water flow again, and the shower head was pointing right at me, I was blasted with COLD water. Apparently, it takes a moment or two after releasing the pause before hot water runs through the shower head; at least in our case it does. Great water pressure and provides a great shower in our travel trailer. I would highly recommend this to others as well. Just be cautious when releasing the pause function. ;); Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Tools_and_Home_Improvement |

Title: Peanut Butter & Co. Vanilla Peanut Powder, Non-GMO Project Verified, Gluten Free, Vegan, 6.5 oz Jar; Brand: Peanut Butter & Co.; Review: Being the huge peanut butter fan I am, I was super excited to try this powdered peanut butter with flax and chia! I am addicted to Peanut Butter and Co's assorted sinful flavors they already have. This is not a dissapointmental either. Less fat and since it's powdered, I can easily travel with it and add it to my protein shakes for an even better boost for my after workout shake! I can lose weight and not give up peanut butter! Yes! It goes delightfully well with chocolate protein powder. My 2 year old who is a peanut butter fanatic loves it mixed up with water to equal the consistency of regular peanut butter without the fat. It does lack a bit without the fat but it's still very tasty. 2tbsp is only 50 calories instead of the whopping 200, normal peanut butter is. The only problem I am going to have, is keeping enough of it around. Your imagination is the only limit for uses. Baking, snack, protein shake, icing, the list could go on forever.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Peanut Butter & Co Bestie Almond Butter, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, No Sugar Added, 11 Ounce Jars, 6 Count; Brand: Peanut Butter & Co.; Review: Love the peanut butter that Peanut Butter and Co puts out. Decided to try their almond butter, "Bestie". Great flavor, no added sugar is a healthy alternative to their candy coated peanut butter. Almonds and sea salt is the only two ingredients. Tastes great on banana for an evening snack. Great on crackers or mixed in to your baking, to make cookies. The only drawback I had with this is the fact it took a ton of stirring to get oil back in and to get rid of the separation. It didn't have large chunks of almonds either, very creamy. I would definitely buy more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: ORCHARD VALLEY HARVEST Cranberry Almond Cashew Trail Mix, Non-GMO, No Artificial Ingredients, 1 oz (Pack of 8); Brand: Orchard Valley Harvest; Review: Love this brand, still a bit pricey at almost 11 dollars for an 8 count. Much better snack and in between meal snack. These very salty, even though they are made with sea salt, a pre packaged serving size weighs in at 95mg of salt. ..pass me the water bottle. These come in a larger bag complete with 8 smaller serving size packs inside. 160 calories for a serving. I usually eat these with a cup of Greek yogurt and toss them on top to make them less salty and add some extra protein as well as an afternoon snack at work. These have sunflower seed oil in addition to cashews and sea salt. I had to take away a star for the saltyness.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wildway Banana Nut Gluten-free, Paleo, Grain Free Granola, 6 Pack; Brand: Wildway; Review: I loved this granola. Its not what you are thinking. It's not really a "granola" of oats, crunch and sweetness overload. I tried the banana nut and it was soft and didn't have an overly sweet taste it had a nice cinnamon date with delicious banana taste, almost like a spicy banana nut muffin. I also like the crunch of cashew, pumpkin and sunflower seeds along with walnut. I like to throw it in my oatmeal, eat it like a cereal or put it on top of my cereal. I really enjoyed it. It was very good, it tasted very fresh, and you could tell it was very good quality ingredients. I will be getting more of this product and trying out other flavors as well, since there are no preservatives you have to keep the bag in your fridge once it's opened. I keep this at work and it's my go to snack.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Organic Chocolate Chip Pancake and Waffle Mix by Birch Benders, Whole Grain, Non-GMO, 16oz; Brand: Birch Benders; Review: My kiddos loved this pancake mix, throw chocolate in anything and they will be your best friend. I found it a bit lacking in flavor although I was happy to have an organic pancake mix not chalk full of artificial ingredients. Made me happy my kiddos loved something somewhat healthy for them as well. The price tag is a bit steep, but everything healthy is pricey. 4 stars for taste and price. All over a good pancake mix, all you need to add is water. Easy to throw in a nonstick pan and cook quickly for breakfast.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Wrecker; Author: Visit Amazon's Dave Conifer Page; Review: When I started to read this book, I was not sure where it was going to lead. But, as I read, I lost track of time. It kept pulling me deeper into it. I had to know everything. I didn't want to put it down, but I had to sleep, but as soon as I was awake, I was back to reading it. This was a really great thriller, that keeps you wanting more! I look forward to the next Dave Conifer book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The End of Marking Time; Author: Cj West; Review: I found this book to be captivating from beginning to end. Not like some books that you tire of, before getting to the end. What does trouble me, however, is this book COULD be a look into the future with our judicial system. The discussions on this could go on for weeks. Would this be humane, or inhumane? Did his crimes justify the ending? And, the ending, I didn't see that coming. The revelation of who one of the major characters is, that was a complete surprise!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Water For Elephants; Author: Visit Amazon's Sara Gruen Page; Review: I love when you open a book and start reading, and you visualize yourself right there. Not only do you see things, you can smell the aromas in the air, and you are stopped just short of touching. You stand there witnessing the events going on around you. You can not stop them, you can not change them, but you are feeling the feelings of everyone there. I did not want this book to end. This book had me emotional from the beginning to the end, and even beyond.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: We Interrupt This Date; Author: Visit Amazon's L. C. Evans Page; Review: OMG, while reading this, I could hear my moms voice speaking loudly in my ear! This was a cute light hearted look into how some families really interact! The incidents may be different, but it obviously is a custom that mothers pass on to the next generation, and not just southern women.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Paris Wife: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Paula McLain Page; Review: If you are at all interested in Ernest Hemingway, then you must read this book. This gives you another perspective of the life he lived. The choices he made, and the destruction it caused. This was wonderfully written.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shattered: A Daughter's Regret (Secrets); Author: Visit Amazon's Melody Carlson Page; Review: I feel this would be a good book for a young tween. It starts off really well, but then gets a bit heavy on the religion. It could have helped to set limits on morals, without bringing the religion into it so much.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: All Different Kinds Of Free; Author: Jessica Mccann; Review: Once every so often, a book comes along, and grabs a hold of you, and doesn't let go, until it feels the time is right. This is one of those such books. From the very first few pages, it grabbed me and took me for the adventure it wanted me to be a part of. I felt as though I was there, could reach out and touch the characters. I wept with her, and felt the rage and despair she felt. How can I say I enjoyed a book with such dark content? I hated to see the book come to an end.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Joy For Beginners; Author: Visit Amazon's Erica Bauermeister Page; Review: I enjoyed this book a lot. This was a book that dealt with mortality and friendship. I loved the way we were introduced to each character, and got to know them and how they related to Kate. We sometimes live our lives on a day to day basis, and forget how to live. Kate reminded each friend, of the excitement life had to offer, and how to go out of their comfort zone and again connect with that excitement. If you could do one thing for your friends, wouldn't you want to give them the gift of life? That is what Kate wanted to give to her friends, and ultimately, got for herself too!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Last Letter (The Letter Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Kathleen Shoop Page; Review: For me, this book was slow starting off, but then it picked up very quickly. Prairie life changed people in ways that they never thought possible. I won't call Jeannie a saint, but, she did what she had to do to keep her family together, and strong. She did the best she could with what she had to work with. I wasn't surprised by what Frank did, I was completely surprised with whom he did this with, and even more surprised at how he explained it in the letter Jeannie found. I would love to see a sequel to this book. A follow up, to help to answer more of the questions left unanswered. I am glad I read this book, and I would recommend it to anyone that is the least bit interested in this period of time, or if you just want a captivating read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: It Happens Every Spring (Thorndike Press Large Print Christian Fiction; Four Seasons); Author: Gary D. Chapman; Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. I wasn't so sure when I got this book free, but thought I had nothing to lose, so why not. When I saw that it was a Christian Fiction, that really made me apprehensive, but, to my surprise, I could relate to this book on so many levels. The only thing I can complain about??? I wish the others would be offered up as freebies too, but, I guess the authors would be working for nothing, and that just doesn't happen in any season!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Summer in the South: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Cathy Holton Page; Review: First off, I won a copy of this book. I am grateful for the authors being generous with their work! I just could not relate to this book until I was 70% into it. It went in to many directions, and when I finally centered on the plot of the book, I felt I was rushed to the end. I didn't feel the need to add in the small Ava Jake connection at the end. The mystery surrounding the death of Charlie was enough to keep ones attention to the story.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Last Letter from Your Lover: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Jojo Moyes Page; Review: I had this book on my want list, since December. I was lucky enough to be invited by Book Rooster, to review it. Imagine my excitement with the invitation. With the cold days of fall fast approaching, I wanted to read a good love story that I could curl up on the couch with. With this book, I got exactly that. I could feel the passion and the heart break between Jennifer and Boot. Words didn't need to be spoken, just the looks in their eyes told of how they longed to be with each other. I felt as if I was in the room witnessing their lives unfold right before me. I cheered them on, and I cried silent tears, for the loss of the time they could have had. Years, countries, and even death, couldn't separate them. Last Letter From Your Lover re-affirms that love can last a lifetime.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crossing Oceans; Author: Visit Amazon's Gina Holmes Page; Review: I had this book on my want list since December, so when it came up for a special price this week, I grabbed it. It is a really good book. It does have some religious undertones to it, but nothing preachy. It is a wonderful love story about a mother and her child, and the woman and those around her. It is very sad, but also very heartwarming to read. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good book to curl up with.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wishful Drinking; Author: Visit Amazon's Carrie Fisher Page; Review: I listened to this book while I was working out. I realize that she says this book was therapeutic for her, but I was completely frazzled by the time the book was over. Carrie read this book herself, which sounded almost robotic. No feeling came across with her tone, as if it all were rehearsed like she was reading a script. Maybe if I had read the book, I would have taken away a little more from it, but at this point, I can not say I enjoyed anything about this book. I gave it 3 stars, because of the effort and time she put into this disaster of a book.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Memory Palace; Author: Mira Bartok; Review: While this is a sad situation for children to grow up in. It shows that the life you live, is a choice you make. You can either make it good, or lay down and give up. I am glad to see these girls decided early on, to make the most of what they had. They showed us, out of despair can come greatness.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Sisters Montclair: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Cathy Holton Page; Review: I won a copy of this book in July 2012. I started reading it then, but life happens, and things just got in the way. I saw where this book was being offered up for the Kindle "free" for a couple of days, and knew it was calling me back. I picked up the book and started reading again. I was drawn back in, as if I just layed the book down yesterday. You are drawn in as if you are a silent character. You can smell the smells, see the places, and at times, even feel the tention in the room. You are part of the book. You watch and listen as Alice confesses love and feelings of guilt. You travel with Stella to confront her mother, only to see her retreat back into the child she was. You can tell you have read a good book, when it leaves you with thoughts, questions, and ideas, long after you close the last page. This book has done that.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Crossroads Cafe; Author: Visit Amazon's Deborah Smith Page; Review: Each time I picked up the book, I was taken to a place I felt comfortable. A place I felt I belonged to, or it to me. The author was able to make me believe I was one of the people that stopped in to see everyone in the cafe' each morning. I was one that helped put stitches in the quilt that hung from the ceiling. I was one that prayed for Delta, in her time of need. I found this book to be a feel good, look to the future type of book. If you think you have it bad, look to the person beside you, and look deep into their wounds. You can take and make, what you want, with what life deals you. And a few southern biscuits doesn't hurt. Very good book Deborah Smith! I love your writing skills, and look forward to reading from you again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hidden Mickeys: A Field Guide to Walt Disney World®'s Best Kept Secrets; Author: Visit Amazon's Steven M.

Title: India Kabab & Curry; City: Reno, NV; Review: It is overall pretty good, my partner and I recently went there after looking in the window a week prior. The prices are pretty fair for lunch, cheaper than some of the nearby restaurants of similar cuisine. However, the food I found was also better, their Lentil Soup was so good I went back for a second serving. My partner loved the Tandoori Chicken and we both loved their Naan. Put a bit of their curry on their Naan and you're in for a treat. The atmosphere was actually quite good, the layout of the restaurant isn't difficult and the decor is cute. The Bollywood videos playing in the back actually adds a nice finishing touch. The service is the only reason I wouldn't give this place 5 stars. While they were fast and efficient, none of them were friendly or outgoing. As others have said, it was like being served by robots who you have to wonder what they must think of you. The young man had a better attitude than the rest, but the others were either distant or unpleasant. So if you don't mind the waitstaff being curmudgeonly, go for the excellent food.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mantra Indian Cuisine; City: Reno, NV; Review: The first thing I noticed walking into this restaurant was that it was dead quiet; There was one other table with some people there whom I could hear talking quietly from the door. There was only one person we ever saw working the entire time we were there, he seemed to be working every single job all at once. He didn't speak much (not that the people at these kind of restaurants ever seem to...) and I generally got the impression of us being some kind of wallflower. The food was alright, not as good as other restaurants of the same type and higher priced at that. You'd think with the size of the building they would have had a bigger selection. We weren't even given menus, he pretty much just took us to a seat, gave us some silverware and water, then walked away. I mean seriously, we weren't even offered Naan. I didn't see it anywhere. The only positive thing I have to say about this place at all was the tea you could pour for yourself. If you're going to be left out in the cold by the waitstaff, go somewhere better.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Game Force; City: Reno, NV; Review: This place is great, their selection of games is incredible and their prices are not only fair but competitive with online prices as well. I've come here more than a few times and received excellence each time. They also offer a very generous warranty policy, even so far as to warranty cartridge games for life! I like that they'll let you test out anything before you buy it, and Scott has a wealth of knowledge about games and systems. I strongly recommend going when Scott is there, the man is very friendly and helpful. He'll hook you up with just what you need.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Black Hole Body Piercing; City: Reno, NV; Review: I've had my lobes and my eyebrow pierced at Black Hole, as well as my Fiance's ears pierced. Everything about the place is superb. The atmosphere, the cleanliness, the displays, the staff. They always talk to you and tell you exactly what they are doing. They are meticulous and thorough, which is exactly what you should look for in a professional piercer. They are a bit more expensive than some places, sure, but it's a pittance for the skill you are paying for in this art form. Your body is always worth the money.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Reno Smiles Dentistry and Orthodontics; City: Reno, NV; Review: I've had terrible dental anxiety for as long as I can remember, and I've been to more than a few dentists who were terrible in my opinion. However, this place is different. I came in taking a blind plunge hoping for the best. So far I have had an Extraction, a Bone Graft, and a Root Canal at the time of writing with plans for much more down the road. So far the procedures have all been largely painless, a feat no dentist has achieved before for me. The doctor is quick, gentle, and very skilled. No doctor has ever been able to get my mouth numb properly until now. The staff there are all very friendly and helpful, the assistants are gentle, and the doctor always walks you through the procedure to let you know every detail and regularly checks to make sure you aren't in pain. The place also does NOT have a crowded waiting room, ever. It would seem the good Doctor does not schedule more than he can handle, and that is a tremendous breath of fresh air to not have your dentist rushing back and forth between so many patients. It's the only dental office in Reno I recommend, I'm dead serious.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Süp; City: Reno, NV; Review: Yelp lists 2 Stars as "Meh. I've experienced better." which is rather how I felt upon leaving, so I suppose that is the most accurate one to pick. I ordered the Toasted Veggie sandwich with a cup of Brocoli Chedder soup for one of the part, and a Reno Deli sandwich with a cup of the white chedder whatever it's called soup. The food does not really come across as For Everyone, so to speak. Even the more mundane selections have unusual ingredients added on, which gives the menu an artsy impression rather than a practical one. For example, I considered a Turkey sandwich but...Jalepeno Jack bread? The salads only come with Blue Cheese dressing and cranberries as far as I know, if others were available it wasn't easily noticeable. It's not a bad place by any means, the cashier was very nice. The waitstaff itself was either a bit dour looking or kind of stone-faced. That might just be because it was on the tail-end of Lunch though. The place is loud and the indoors seems uncomfortable, so we sat outside which is actually quite nice. I spied a woman with a kid back in the kitchen area, no idea what that was about but it leaves you scratching your head. I think my biggest gripe is that the prices just aren't reasonable for the food quality. It was alright, but honestly I've had better at other places in Reno. Why does a veggie sandwich cost the same or close to selections with meat? The cup of soup seems a bit small for $3.50. It wasn't a bad experience, but for all the hype I just wasn't impressed. There's better places to eat in Mid-town for a fraction of the cost.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Black Hole Body Piercing; City: Reno, NV; Review: Got another piercing from here today, my Septum, with the excellent help of Taryn (I hope I spelled that correctly!). I had a lot of fun, great advice as always, they'll be seeing me again and again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cafe DeLuxe; City: Reno, NV; Review: I've been here more than a few times now and it's been excellent every single time. Most recently I went on my birthday when my Fiance took me out to lunch, we had their Fritatta and Soup of the Day (It was this potato and corn chowder, kind of spicy which I liked) combo (She had a cup of their Chai also which I tried and found much to my liking). Their staff is always at least polite if not outright nice. I'm not all that interested in things that are "Vegan" or "Non-GMO" or anything of that sort of nature, and while that is largely what they sell I find myself not really caring since the food is good, filling, and reasonably priced. A lot of Mid-Town joints can be fairly pricy, but this is a place you can easily do lunch for two for around $16. The place is kind of hipster-y in my opinion but it doesn't stop me from enjoying myself there. As a special note, I love the music they play there. I never imagined I'd get to have lunch on my birthday and hear Third Uncle by Bauhaus come on over the radio. The stars truly do align sometimes!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Happy Happy Joy Joy; City: Reno, NV; Review: I've been here quite a few times as well, usually shopping for gifts or just on a whim while we were out and about in Mid-Town. The store is delightfully quirky and you can find things here you won't find for sale anywhere else in Reno as far as I am aware of. I love their selection of morbid little things and strange toys, and admittedly some of the stuffed animals you can find there are adorable. There's quite a few things from there I'd really love to have if I had the place to put it. The lady that runs the place is very nice and the music is fitting for the establishment, I fully recommend at least going in and having a look around.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Junkee Clothing Exchange; City: Reno, NV; Review: I feel like I should weigh in my thoughts about this store, given that I have been here perhaps more than anywhere else in Reno. I spent a lot of time in Thrift Stores of varying degrees of quality as a child, and I do mean an inordinate amount of time without going into unnecessary details. So as pretentious as it sounds I like to think that I am something of an expert on the matter. Now let me lead off by saying it's a step up from a thrift store. Most of those places are donation based and that is why they have a massive range of item quality (usually snapped up quickly by those that troll through them frequently). Junkee is definitely comprised of a classier selection in regards to both Clothing and general items. When I have the money for it I prefer to come around here once a week and see what I can find, it changes often enough that either myself or my Fiance finds something with a little effort. This place isn't a magic wardrobe that will have exactly what you want and you shouldn't expect it to. It's a clothing exchange, it will always be hit or miss but it is my opinion they do their best to hit as many targets as possible. Anyone familiar with thrift shopping should understand how hard it can be at times. I've slowly pieced together a good looking wardrobe that appeals to my darker tastes from here, but it takes patience folks. I'll echo the sentiment that their antiques, dust collectors, and other general items section is perhaps even more impressive for the most part. There's a few things that quirk an eyebrow (Like some Insane Clown Posse merch I've seen lurking in a particular case many times) as to whether or not that really should be there but then I'm in no position to offer a good opinion on that. But I have bought some wonderful things for home and for gifts from here. What is truthfully the biggest clinchers for me about this store: The Atmosphere- A lot of second hand shops can be downright dirty, but this is absolutely not the case with Junkee. The music is hit or miss for me but never downright bothersome. The decor is always splendid and I admire the creativity present. The place is well-lit but it isn't painful to these sensitive eyes like so many other places. It's very calm in here whenever I stop by and one of the few places I feel comfortable in. The Staff- The staff has largely always been very good to me. Very polite and kind, if not outright friendly. I am sorry that I cannot name names, but there are some individuals in particular I look for and enjoy seeing. I've never had problems getting help and while sometimes they aren't paying 100% attention to you in particular I also understand the amount of effort that goes into retail, how many things one can have going on at once. I also; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Reno Buick GMC Cadillac; City: Reno, NV; Review: I went here to look into a used car I had already researched extensively online. I'll simply lay out the details I observed of my experience here so folks can make their own decisions. +The setup for my coming to look at a car was pretty courteous +The car was in fact in the state one would expect from its online details and of reasonable quality (for its sticker price perhaps...) +The associate I test drove with seemed like a nice guy, very polite and courteous. Rather than chewing my ear off and annoy me by espousing the car's every minute detail we were able to enjoy casual conversation while I made my own observations. +They will allow you to test drive the car wherever you wish, no trick routes involving mostly right turns. +The dealers themselves seemed at least polite if nothing else. --They will make you play the waiting game. It's a common dealer trick to have the finance guy walk away for inordinate amounts of time. Perhaps there were legitimate reasons for it, but being exhausted and eager to get the details ironed out so I might proceed onward made it nothing less than irritating. If you want to test drive a car and iron out all of the numbers so you might think it over first, expect it to take one and a half to two hours. --They aren't pushy like you might expect car salesmen to be in my experience, but once the paperwork is on the table there is definitely a more subtle pressure being used. If you don't like that sort of thing, bear that in mind. --Watch their paperwork very carefully. I pitched them a deal, they came back with it all outlined to an out the door cost but conveniently neglected to mention they had decided the price of the vehicle should be $500 higher than pitched. You should expect this from dealers but it's sneaky all the same. Mind your details. --Their Documentation Fee is $350. Knowledge suggests anything higher than $200 is when you should start pushing for the car's price to drop to offset this sort of very high fee (Also keep in mind sales tax is also charged on that fee). --They insist on an "Anti-Theft" charge that basically just involves VIN etching, it's going to cost you $199. When I pressed the guy about it, he told me it was something like a "Required option". So I pressed him whether it was required or optional. He claimed it was required. This is an outright lie, VIN etching is required to be offered by some states but no state requires it to be purchased. You can get this for as little as $20-25 dollars. --I asked how long they had this car and was told it had only been listed for a few days, as if to imply a week or less. I was told that it was acquired sometime in November. This was during December 19th. Cargurus.com however claims this car had been listed (on Dec. 19th) for; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: UnCork'd Eatery at Midtown; City: Reno, NV; Review: Went in here on Christmas Eve for a nice dinner (They let us make reservations a couple days beforehand, even though we ended up not needing it) and was very impressed with the place. The atmosphere is very nice. The walls are all painted a different color but none are colors that detract from the overall aesthetic. I liked the unusual art you could find scattered about the place and the music was a interesting mix of classic tunes played softly (Final Countdown one minute and Frank Sinatra the next). The service was excellent, even though there was only one waitress working all of the tables she was very courteous and did an excellent job. The food itself is very reasonable for the price and tasted excellent. We strongly recommend their Eggplant Wrap as well as the Angry Shrimp. It was even better than I was expecting and delivered with such presentation! The only downside is that I was very surprised at the price of the drinks ($16 for two bottled sodas) but I suppose I should have asked first. They have a lovely wine menu so I get the impression this is a place that's real big on the drinks. They are a bit spendy though, unless you stick to the cheaper menu options and drink water although frankly the food is good enough I'd be happy doing just that.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Café; City: Reno, NV; Review: I went here on 12/22/14 to take my Fiance out for a light dinner as a capstone for a lovely outing. I have been here three or four (Fairly certain it is four) times now and it seems like the restaurant is slowly improving. But more on that later, first the most important part. The food here is pleasing I would say. It isn't mind-blowing but it's better than simply "good". The menu does seem a bit hit or miss with the choices and while they are what I would call standard it at least hits a wide enough array of targets you should be able to find -something- to eat. If you're used to the eclectic selections of Midtown you might perhaps be less ecstatic. None the less I have never had bad food from here nor has anyone I have brought here, I've never had to return an order due to mistakes or any such things. The portions are fairly priced for what you pay although I do think they could stand to be less skimpy on the fries and perhaps not charge $3 for a soup du jour added to an Entree but instead offer it as a substitute. I've tried their chowder and it was very good if a bit small. But I digress, a casino exists to make money no? I will say the French Dip I tried on my last visit was stellar! Edit: As a side note, I do like their presentation of the food! It is not simply flopped on but tastefully arranged. The atmosphere here is more or less pleasing. I love the pop art and the furniture is incredibly comfy. The place is well lit but not harshly so, nor is the music too obtrusive. The seating is however very open, not the place for intimate gatherings or if you hate being looked at while eating. On a related note, the windows from the main hall allow passerby to look in so for other strange folks like us mind that you will be gawked at by some of the less tactful passerby. The wait staff can be hit or miss as well, but I suspect that has a lot less to do with them as individuals and more to do with management. The staff themselves have always been kind and exceedingly polite. They always seem understaffed, I've overheard workers not having a chance to take a break (Which I should remind you all is illegal), and I've definitely seen management breathing down their necks on the restaurant floor itself! Let's talk about that for a moment, as this was a major annoyance for me when this place first opened. While I understand the GSR wants a certain level of quality control, I really despise having some guy in a fancy suit standing around scrutinizing everything. The staff, the patrons, the food, everything. I do not find a mildly disgruntled looking manager to be pleasant atmosphere for my dinner. Not to mention this behavior noticeably makes the staff nervous and service suffers for; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dolan Mazda; City: Reno, NV; Review: Let me preface this by saying that this place could have been 4-5 stars, and my review has little-to-nothing to do with the associate I worked with as he was very respectful and polite. So today I made my way down there to have a look at a car I saw on their website that looked good, if this drove well I'd be willing to make a deal this very day for the right price. As in my other review of a Dealership, I will lay out my experiences/observations for people to draw their conclusions from. First, service was very polite and very courteous. I liked that I could speak without being interrupted for a change and have the person I'm working with actually listen. The dealership does force you to go on a premeditated route for your test drive, but on the other hand you can at least test drive it for as long as you wish until you feel satisfied with the feel of the car. Their cars all look to be in good shape, it at least seems like a place you could buy a car from on faith that it would not have major mechanical problems. They aren't selling junkers. Now to get to the reason I left and why this review is 2 stars. I already had the Kelly Blue Book and True Market Values written down for this car, I know what it's worth considering the factors present at my viewing. They made me wait around for an excessively long period of time before negotiating price. Why? Because they wanted to run a credit check on me so they could attempt to snatch the loan from my bank, and have the audacity to offer me a higher APR at that. This done fully aware that I already had pre-approval and having made it clear they would receive the value of the car in full at the time of purchase. Let me reiterate that for clarity. I would have been buying the car from them straight up. There was no reason to waste over an hour of my time, refusing to speak on price until then. Very infuriating. Next up, "required" VIN etching for $200 as a dealer fee. Listen folks, Nevada law requires dealers to OFFER it, you are not required to buy it. This is a straight up scam and several dealers in town do it. Next up, the usual 2000+ dollar insurance package they "forgot" about added in to the price of the car. I caught them on this and questioned it, and you should look for this too. I assure you if it had been an option that LOWERED the price by $2000+ dollars they would not forget. Finally, the last nail in the coffin. All of the above can be forgiven to an extent, but this dealership did the one thing no customer should ever put up with and that is to refuse to negotiate on price. I would have been willing to pay Kelly Blue Book value to the penny, which; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Nu Yalk Pizza; City: Reno, NV; Review: We went here for some eats after a frustrating trial with an auto-dealer for some good old fashioned "I'm frustrated and in a bad mood so time to eat crazy food" dining. We hadn't seen these folks since they moved. And speaking of that, wow what a place. This has to be the fanciest pizza joint I've ever been in. It has a beautiful exterior that's easy to get parking in. The interior has a big long counter you walk up to and order, which is completely open air to the kitchen so you can watch them work the dough and such. We ordered a couple of Calzones from a pleasant lady who was kind enough to offer us water when we declined soda. There's nice sized TV screens up, and I spied a computer area that appeared to be for patron use. They have one of those self-serve wine stations now. My other half spied Diet RC Cola on their soda fountain. Their bathrooms are just as swanky as the rest of the place. However, the awful and uncomfortable steel chairs could really stand to be done away with. I understand that they really care about aesthetics and their NYC image, but for a walking skeleton like me these things might as well be a medieval torture device. That's just my tastes though, this kind of pizza place doesn't cater to people like me. Fortunately I was there for the food. I can definitely say we both felt that those were the best Calzones we'd ever had. Their menu looks fairly priced, it's what you'd expect to pay in perhaps Meadowood Mall only their food is amazingly good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Opa Cafe; City: Reno, NV; Review: My favorite Greek restaurant in town so far. I was charmed by the greeting upon entering. We had decided to drop by this place as we drove by on the hunt for a quick dinner. Fortunate that we did! Lovely atmosphere. It's a cozy little place with soft lighting and the music fits their aesthetic well. Lots of interesting art and other things along the walls. The guy up front was on spot and pleasantly personable to us. I was honestly surprised at first and didn't quite know how to respond! It was refreshing after so many of the flippant attitudes you get in Midtown. But to the point as I'm short on time, the food is wonderful. Best gyro I've had around here so far and the food was delivered pretty quick for my expectations. Considering how hungry I was that's another reason I'm glad I decided to stop. What else needs to be said? Great service, lovely atmosphere, excellent food.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Salon 215 South; City: Reno, NV; Review: This place is absolutely the best. Devlin did my spouse's mohawk and my deathhawk, he's a real pleasure to work with and he takes good care of you. This man is a true artist and it's a real blast to see him get excited for his passion. He knows what he's talking about and he has vision for your hair, it's freakin' great. Absolutely fair prices too for the amazing work they do.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Les Schwab Tire Center; City: Reno, NV; Review: I was really impressed with this place, which was recommended to me by a family member. I hadn't even reached the front door before one of the guys, very friendly by the way, asked me if I needed help. Normally a screw making your tire leak is a way to ruin a Friday's good vibes, but these guys had me in and out before I even finished eating the snacks I got out of the vending machine! Real quick, polite service and didn't even charge me for the simple procedure. I'll be back again when I need something for my tires.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

No pharmacy that gets your prescription 70% wrong and refuses to acknowledge the error should be trusted. Stay away.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Vila Gale Mares; City: Camacari State of Bahia; Review: First let me say that , as always I came to Triadvisor to see the opinions about this hotel. The problem, is that since April the service changed drastically. We meat some other tourists that were also very disappointed, because they had been there in March 2007 ant the hotel is completely different now. They reduced the number of staff having now only 200 collaborators for a 440 room resort. When we arrived (at 2:00a.m), they delivered the key and sent us to look for our own room. When we found it, there were people sleeping inside the room. In order to have a sun bed available (because they are not enough for everybody) you have to get up at 5:00a.m and mark your sun bed with towel, slipper, sun block (anything)… In the restaurant there we some people feeling seek because the food was not fresh. Have you ever seen a “Capirinha” without smashed ice? Here you can. They don’ts have time do it properly, so the give you very bad prepared drinks. In Portugal we are used to eat very god meat, such as Picanha, maminha, etc. In this hotel, at lucj time (1:00p.m), we could not find this kind of food because it was over.. About the optional tryps: Slvador da Bahia (must go), Mangue Seco by the travel agency(NO). Try to get your own buggy and transfer, because we have to travel 2:30hours for each side to get there! The best place to go on the buggy is Natal, inspite this city is not so beautiful as Salvador. Quads (nothing special), but if you want, don’t’s forget the dust! Take old clothes. Canoeing (it’s nice), but you haver to walk 1 hour on the beach to return to the jeep. The service is lousy, you ask for a drink in the restaurant and they always forget.. In the last day, when we wanted to give our complain to the manager, he didn’t receive us, because there was some many people telling the same. We really don’t’s recommend you go to Vila Galé Marés, try the Iberostar (very near) because everybody who went there was saying good things.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Vincci Seleccion La Plantacion del Sur; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: We went to Tenerife and to this hotel to get some rest, and in fact we did rest on the pool side…and on the beach. The hotel is located in Costa Adeje (near Praia de Las Americas). If you know Albufeira, Praia de Las Americas is similar… many tourism and many outdoors for tourists’. To busy for me… In Costa Adeje, you will find more peaceful environment. The hotel is near the beach (8 min walk), but it’s not a 5star GL as we expected. Mainly because of the service… The rooms are great, especially if you choose the villas. The cleaning could be improved. In spite the overall positive evaluation. The service was not what we expected because of details such as: Pool service: When you are at the pool, they do not serve food, only drinks, and if you wish to eat, you need to get dressed, because even on the pool bar, you have to be with your t-shirt on. Spa: Without music, we could listen the high eels and the chairs being moved around the upper flour. The clock (inside the massage room) was so loud that we could ear the clicking of the seconds passing. Staff: The uniforms were damaged and had stains. Catering in the main restaurant and pool bar: The tables are not organized by waitress, so you have 3 or 4 different people taking care of your order and often they fail. José (restaurant chefe) is very nice and professional and also a young girl from Argentina (pool bar and main restaurant).; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Pestana Porto Santo All Inclusive; City: Porto Santo Island Madeira Islands; Review: The hotel is good, as well as food. Good location, nice pools and beautiful beach. We stayed 6 nights and that was just enought, because after that..you get tired of the same food and always the same thing day, after day. We went to a restaurant nearby, called Pé na Água that is excellent! Loved 'bolo do caco', a typical food in Madeira. The service was very good as well as the cleaning of the room. A group for a medical congress, arrived..and that made everything worst. The noise at night and even during the day... The restaurant (pizzaria) booked for them... let's say, it's not very nice for all the other guests.. There are at least other two things that we think should be improoved: 1-wireless internet is payed?!!! 2- Even with availability, they asked us to pau 40€ for a late check out (16h instead of 12h) plus 30€ for lunch (2pax). We were traveling with a 1year old baby, so it was not very nice to be asked to pay 70€ to be able to have a place for him to rest until the flight! We would undestand if there were no availability, but, they confirmed they had our room available,but, we had to pay. Let's say, they closed our stay in a bad and wroung way. So we recomend you to book a early flight to avoid late check out, and also checking if the is any group...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grande Real Santa Eulalia Resort Hotel Spa; City: Albufeira Faro District Algarve; Review: Nice location near Sta Eulália Beach,with a private acess just on the sand. (it's a public beach, so it's a bit crowded during July and August.) We often go to this hotel for short breaks, like long weeckends. The staff is very nice, but they never rember our faces when we arrive and always seems it's our forts time at the hotel. Inspite beeign in Albufeira, the exact location of this hotel is good and quiet. The hotel rooms with sea view are good and the resort suites are also very nice if you want to be with friends or children. The main outside pool as salt water! The spa is very good and the professionals are excelent. Is in fact one of the best overall experience we've had in a spa. The relaxation room is nice, no noise, kind staff.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cape Kudu Hotel; City: Ko Yao Noi Phang Nga Province; Review: The pictures of the hotel, gave us the idea of a small boutique hotel, and it is. But, the problem is that you can stay at the best hotel, most beautiful pictures, but if the service is not good, it turns a big disappointment. For me, the travel experience is a whole of different points, so it's not enough to have good pictures, it needs to be real. The staff is not trained, they ardely speack English. We tried, yes, tried to ask for private boat tours and they showed me a dossier with lots of tours, but none of which was what I asked for. The restaurant Hornbill is good, but not good enough for the prices they charge. The portions are small and for example, the Pad Thay with shrimps has a very original egg rap, but then inside, the shrimps have shell on the tail part and are only 3 in total... The beach, well, the beach is artificial, but nice to read a book and relax. If you want to access the ocean, you face an adventure of rocks, since there is no sand at this area. And also, to access this area you need to cross the road (where cars and motos pass). The SUP and other water activities are available and free, so that's a good point, if... you are brave enough to to face the rocks. The pillows are great, but the noise in the common areas accessing the rooms is a negative. All this would be very simple to solve. Training constantly all the hotel team for a great customer service and as a consequence a good experience. Probably, if the service was great, I would "forget" the negatives...; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Eventually after we got allowed into our room after 2pm, ( even although not full) we had all sorts of annoying issues. No dustbin, no coat hangers, flat remotes and enough tea for two days ( even although we stayed four) The online booking included breakfast but once again a very unfriendly lady said it was not included and would speak to get superior!!

Two suggestions. If you guests are eating at the hotel, please don't start closing up the minute the last plate gets cleared. We sat outside in the dark at 9pm. It's not professional. The second is service on the patio. We had meetings the entire day and each time had to get up to order a coffee. The staff where chatting in the dining room. It's again not great for a five star. We will definitely be staying again but improving little things like the above would make it more slick.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: African Elite de Waterkant; City: Cape Town Central Western Cape; Review: Still waiting for an apology from the "boss" a week later. Checked into what we thought was going to be an amazing week. Not cheap but we decided to take it none the less. ( we took two apartments at R3500 a night) Putting up with low pressure, toilets not flushing we carried on and by Wednesday things seem to be working. When we viewed the apartment a few months before we where told that the deck and pool where part of common use. We enjoyed it on Monday and Tuesday. Suddenly on Wednesday a pub opened up and after a few hours of doing what we had done the two previous nights, where told very rudely that we needed to leave. In fact to a point when they actually called security as we refused to leave. Cheeky little manager. I was assureds the next morning that she would be dealt with and I would be called. Not to be. Never again. There are many stunning places in Cape Town but this is not one!!!; Rating: 1.0/5.0

The position on the river is great but that simply does not make up for the expense. How about with the cost of the bad tired rooms you throw in a cruise? What you think?

Title: New Balance Women's WX623 Training Shoe; Brand: ; Review: These are my favorite sneakers...never disappoints. fits well, keeps it shape, neat looking sneaker. I have owned many pairs of these and order from amazon for the reasonable price.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: White Mountain Women's Freewill Slouch Boot; Brand: WHITE MOUNTAIN; Review: These are very comfortable easy to get on, easy to wear boots. The price on amazon can't be beat. First saw these at DSW. Purchased there...very satisfied...Then bought in different colors on amazon knowing I liked the style and the fit. I'm never easy to fit as I have a wide front due to a bunion and a narrow heal. I usually wind up trying on a lot of shoes before I finding a pair I like. Since I knew these were good, I purchased in black and brown as the price was so reasonable. I'm happy I did because I wear them all the time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BareTraps Women's Rusty; Brand: ; Review: Perfect fit, comfy and good looking. I'm very satisfied with these boots. I gravitate to these when I know I'm going to do a lot of walking. Just as supportive and comfortable as sneakers.....with a much better look.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: New Balance Women's WX623v2; Brand: ; Review: I have bought them before in white....and they always fit and wear as expected. I had a hankering for black this time and I'm very satisfied with the look.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Exofficio Women's Bugs Away Lumen Pullover Hoody; Brand: ExOfficio; Review: I'm going on a trip to africa and I wanted some light weight bug repellent tops and this looked good.

Wish there were more colors...but I did order the white..Plan on wearing them to walk the dogs.....mosquitos love me!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Buff-UV Buff Headwear; Brand: Buff; Review: I have never owned one before but I saw it suggested for african safari, so I thought I'd try it out. I purchased the insect shield. I love the print...fits well....and I do have a large head...so I was worried about the fit...Now I don't have to worry about my hair on this trip and it looks pretty cool. very versatile. Great idea to protect from wind, sun, bugs, and bad hair day. Thanks!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: BUFF Unisex UV Multifunctional Headwear, America, OSFM; Brand: Buff; Review: A bit dull looking. Like the prints better! It fits comfortably but it's kind of nice to have the brighter colors around your face..probably perfect for a young beautiful face..my face could use a boost!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Exofficio Women's Bugs Away Baja Long Sleeve Shirt; Brand: ExOfficio; Review: I ordered x large when I would normally require large as the reviews said they ran small. So glad I read reviews! Clarke is the same as large.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Belle Hop Luggage Fashionable Straps Belt, Leopard, One Size; Brand: Belle Hop; Review: I bought two of these to wrap around a large duffle for my africa trip. Appropriate design, right!? They never fell off and I always spotted my duffle at baggage. I loved them!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: eBags Slim Packing Cubes - Assorted 3PC Set (Titanium); Brand: eBags; Review: This is a great help when packing. I like the way it organizes your things and helps you find things quickly and easily when you're on a trip. It is especially useful in duffle situations, but I like them all the time. Great to slide out and in when moving from place to place. I like the variety of sizes that are available...I purchased a bunch of different sizes. I've been recommending to friends.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: 3 PCS COLOR Drawstring Eyeglasses Microfiber Soft Pouch Case With Bead Lock; Brand: moda; Review: Came quickly...just as pictured. BUT it was way too thin a fabric to do any good for the glasses. I didn't send them back as I felt responsible for the choice and it was not expensive. It was as described. I just didn't realize how thin the fabric would be. I've purchased the embroidered fabric since and I'm very satisfied with that. I should have realized based on the price that this item wouldn't be satisfactory.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: LaClef Women's Super Soft Knit Cowl Back Yoga Tank Top; Brand: LaClef; Review: I don't often buy clothes on amazon but noticed all the good reviews on this top, so I thought I'd give it a try. I liked it so much, I purchased several more in different colors. They all fit the same ( which I hear doesn't often happen) MADE IN U.S......which is another shock...and the colors are gorgeous. These tops look great....I plan to wear them to the gym because they are so comfortable, but I suspect they will also go with jeans and such. Very flattering and nice loose fit. They don't seem to dip quite as low in the back as the photo...which is a good thing as I didn't want that much of my bra to show.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hot Chocolate Design Chocolaticas Cupid Women's Mary Jane Flat; Brand: Hot Chocolate Design; Review: These shoes are adorable! They are quite comfortable, though I think it will be much better with an added innersole. I am not a young person, so I'm much more concerned about the comfort and health of my feet. I wouldn't go hiking in them, but wearing them out and about will be FUN! I bought two pairs of these Hot Chocolate shoes and I am keeping both. I typically wear 81/2....so I ordered 9.........not taking the time to measure my foot. When I received the shoes, they seemed a tiny bit big, so I measured my foot size. Sure enough the measruement indicated 8 was the proper size. But I added an innersole....and it fit fine and was so much more support and cushy. So in the end, I"m glad I ordered the 9 instead of the 8. I suggest you measure and decide whether you will add an innersole to help you decide the proper size for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hot Chocolate Design Chocolaticas Velvet Garden Women's Mary Jane Flat; Brand: Hot Chocolate Design; Review: LOVE these shoes...ordered two of these Hot Chocolate and loved them both. Do measure before you order....and decide whether you will add an innersole when you're choosing size.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Naturalizer Women's Taimi Dress Sandal; Brand: Naturalizer; Review: I have bunions so I need a shoe that's wide enough....and heels don't work for me anymore....but these were so comfortable and a good height. They were dressy enough but not hard to wear. I got them in silver and dark because I liked them so well. Amazon had the best price!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: U Tiny Boutique Home Suvarnabhumi Bangkok; City: Bangkok; Review: Highly recommended. From the swift response after my first enquiry, the wonderful customer service, the cleanliness of the modern room to the punctual airport transfers, Utiny Boutique Home exceeded my expectations. A little oasis and perfect stay. Thank you!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Byron at Byron Resort Spa; City: Suffolk Park Byron Bay Byron Shire New South Wales; Review: Stayed for a work conference earlier this year and found this place absolutely amazing. Could not fault anything. Great location, stunning rooms in the most beautiful setting. Food and service great. Will definitely return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Warwick Fiji; City: Korolevu Coral Coast Viti Levu; Review: This is our second visit to beautiful Fiji and the first time at the Warwick. Admittedly, I got a little nervous reading some of the reviews prior to our arrival. But there was absolutely no need for that as the Warwick turns out to be a beautiful resort. We are currently half way into our week of blissful relaxation and I endeavour to write a more detailed review upon my return home. But I thought to share that we are having the most wonderful time with beautiful accommodation, beautiful people and beautiful food. And I love the rooster, too! 😎; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Whitsunday Apartments Hamilton Island; City: Hamilton Island Whitsunday Islands Queensland; Review: Perfect holiday all around - great location, free transport, amenities, helpful staff, cleanliness, apartment size and those views!!! The only negative was that we only stayed 4 nights. We will return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 10 Hastings Street Boutique Motel Cafe; City: Noosa Sunshine Coast Queensland; Review: Stayed 2 nights with my niece mid-week. Nice decor in the very cosy studio. Couldn't swing a cat in the bathroom but okay for a short stay. Cleanliness of bathroom wasn't great and we noticed a sewage smell throughout the night and when window was closed. Reasonably noisy from the road and as room was above restaurant kitchen and bins. Nice gesture of free drinks in mini bar upon arrival. No teaspoons to prepare tea and coffee, glasses appeared unwashed. Friendly staff at check in and out and very receptive of feedback. Restaurant coffee and food great (home-made peach jam is a must try!), waiting staff nice when interacting with customers but many walked around with faces like thunder otherwise. I'm glad I tried this motel with a Groupon voucher and didn't pay the full rate.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cairns Aquarius; City: Cairns Cairns Region Queensland; Review: Mixed reviews from all 4 guests 😊. Perfectly located on the Esplanade, we stayed 4 nights in apartment number 42. Very spacious and well equipped. Overall cleanliness ok but dated bathrooms could have done with another clean in the shower and the floor corners....there was also quite a bit of accumulated dust behind TV and in corners of cabinet. Box aircon in 2nd bedroom was very, very noisy and had to be switched off. We also noticed quite a bit of mold around the windows and on curtains. Having lived in the tropics myself I know that this can be avoided. Overall satisfactory stay. Thank you.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Yamba Aston Motel; City: Yamba New South Wales; Review: We chose this Motel based on the reviews and were especially drawn to the comments pertaining to the sleep quality. Upon arrival, it didn't disappoint. Fast and friendly check in, well appointed (if a little dated) room and VERY clean which was fabulous. The location is quiet yet close to restaurants. We enjoyed a lovely walk out to the breakwater, followed by a quick stroll through the CBD before having a delicious dinner at the Golf Club. Our rating is solely based on the sleep quality we didn't experience unfortunately. The mattress was far too soft and after a few hours of tossing and turning (and very sore backs) we decided to sleep on the floor which in turn also didn't allow us to wake as afreshed as needed for our onward journey today. On a positive note - shortly after our relocation onto the floor at 2.30am, beautiful kookaburras laughed at us (our perception) which brought a smile to our faces. Really sorry about this review.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Waters Edge Port Macquarie; City: Port Macquarie New South Wales; Review: Conveniently located and clean. Describes itself as boutique hotel but I admittedly did not get the boutique feel. Downfall: paper-thin walls which didn't require your neighbour to be overly noisey to feel disturbed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: NEW - NIX 13 inch Hi-Res Digital Photo Frame, 4GB Internal Memory - X13A; Brand: NIX; Review: the good: - good resolution for screen size - excellent visibility angle - good size internal memory the bad: - missing option to copy pictures/video/audio from inserted usb-stick or memory card. The frame starts playing pictures from the inserted usb-stick or memory card as soon as you insert it but in order to save them on the frame you have to use a computer. - auto on / off is a trick. DON'T expect to have the frame turned on when someone enters the room or to turn off when the room is empty. That feature (that make NIX frames famous) was removed from the new generation and this is a major development error. - take care of the updates as these can compromise your frame functionality.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Micca M808ZM 8-Inch 800x600 High Resolution Digital Photo Frame With Motion Sensor Auto On/Off, MP3 and Video Player (Black); Brand: Micca; Review: The good: image quality, motion sensor, fast booting, number settings on hand. The bad: First thing i would like to mention is the minuscule internal memory: less than 1 Mb. A positive thing is that the images are saved at reduced resolution so you can fit like 15-20 images on internal memory. I would expect that organizing pictures and music on folder and playing then in order (not randomly) to have the slideshow playing music from a folder together with the pictures in the same folder. Well this is not the case with this frame. As soon as you enter the memory card, the frame start playing music no mater what folder was the mp3 file. Also I would like to have this frame playing one song then stop. No matter the sound settings, the files get played continuously. The random feature also has some issues as it may show the same photo 10 times before other are shown once.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: CaseCrown Bold Standby Pro Case for iPad Air - [Corner Protection] Auto Wake/Sleep, Hand Grip, Multi-Angle Viewing Stand; Brand: CaseCrown; Review: The case is good, but it does not have enough protection on the sides.

Title: Linksys WRT54GL Wi-Fi Wireless-G Broadband Router; Brand: Linksys; Review: Completely unstable using Linksys latest firmware. WiFi speed will drop about once a day to under 2MB / sec. Router need to be restarted to regain performance. This router is supposed to work with an open source firmware that will allow you to have more control over the router. As of now (August 2015) there is only one possible firmware to use and that is from openwrt.org. The firmware seems very unfriendly; after 2 hours I was not able to have the router in the same simple configuration I had using original firmware. I used in the past a firmware from dd-wrt.com on an older router and that was OK. Unfortunately they don't have a version for this router yet.

Title: Canon Sure Shot WP-1 Weatherproof 35mm Camera; Brand: Canon; Review: Yes, the cameras are virtually indestructible. And NO, WP isn't "weather proof" it's "water proof" according to Canon's own literature for this camera including the owners manual. Ours says it's "waterproof to 16.4 feet" Has worked fine in our local lake and motel swimming pools. You simply can not compare the quality of photos taken with this camera with the quality of those taken with the disposable 'waterproof" cameras that you buy at the discount stores. You really can't come up with a better fun at the lake, snorkeling, hotel pool camera for this kind of money. Generally a decent waterproof camera costs a LOT more and a water proof housing for a camera yo may already own is very expensive. You're not gonna get a lot of National Geographic quality shots with this but you just may surprise yourself!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gemini DRP-1 19-inch 1U Professional Audio Standalone Digital Rackmount Recorder with Full Color LCD, Soundboard Compatible; Brand: Gemini; Review: I use this for recording live long form syndicated radio programs. Works perfect. Over two years worth of weekly shows recorded with no issues. Feed the audio in from the broadcast mixing console.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Whole House FM Transmitter 3.0; Brand: Whole House FM Transmitter; Review: People who are claiming great coverage with these should -- the power output on the one I received was many times over the FCC legal limit -- be aware. Also, the one I received the little A/C adapter cube did not function at all. ZERO power output from the adapter. Which was confusing anyway, as the FCC Certification tests (available at the TAW website and the FCC database) state that the mini USB plug had been disabled and no longer was used for anything, but yet it will run off power connected here (once you get a working adapter). I imagine it had to be disabled since the cable acted as a counterpoise and sent the output way over the limit. Adding the necessary audio cable, or using AC power created a counterpoise to the antenna creating a signal ever more over the FCC legal limit. Further, is does NOT have an SMA antenna connector. It has a reverse thread BOLT. It is in NO WAY a connector. Additionally the included antenna is not a carefully designed "helically wound" antenna like a REAL rubber duck style antenna and like it is explained on their website, it's a piece of braided wire in about a 5 inch plastic antenna. The FCC limit for signal strength of these transmitters is 250 uV/m at 3 meters. This clocked in at 1102 uV/m at 3 meters, more than 4 times over the legal limit. Adding the audio cable brought the output to over 4000 uV/m about 16 times over the legal limit. I am a broadcast engineer with over 40 years of experience, and tested this with commercial grade test equipment. If your goal is to be broadcasting illegally, this will do the trick.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: LaCie 301484U 22X d2 DVDRW DL Lightscribe USB2.0 and FireWire US; Brand: LaCie; Review: This has proven to be an extremely durable and reliable drive. I burn a LOT of CD's and DVD's. A LOT. I have this connected to my iMac via Firewire. It has never failed me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grundig/Eton S350 AM/FM/Shortwave Field Radio with Alarm Clock and Sleep Timer, Variable RF Gain Control, Full-Range; Brand: Eton; Review: Good sounding radio with good sensitivity. The one thing that drives me nuts is the "touchiness" of the tuning knob. it's nearly impossible to tune exactly on a frequency. Say you want to tune to 1140 on the AM band. You can get to, say 1139 and turning ever so slowly on the fine tuning knob to get to 1140 it will jump to 1142, etc. it's a challenge to get it to exactly the correct frequency. Once you get past that bugaboo the rest of the features are nice.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ramsey TM100 Tru-Match FM Broadcast Antenna; Brand: Ramsey; Review: Unless you have an FCC FM license it's probably not legal for you. FCC requirements for an unlicensed FM transmitter limit you to 250 uV/m at three meters. This is a gain antenna that will indeed increase the range of your small FM transmitter. If you are using a legal Part 15 FCC certified transmitter, the use of this antenna immediately voids that certification and puts the responsibility upon you the user to be able to prove that you are within the legal limit. This would require you to either own, or hire and engineer who owns a field strength meter capable of reading 250 uV/m at three meters from the antenna. This equipment costs thousands of dollars. This is a decent antenna if it's legal for you to use. You do have to build it. But since it's basically just a wire dipole inside some PVC pipe you can get the dimensions from about a thousand sources online, and build it yourself for a few dollars if you're handy at that sort of thing. This is a standard dipole in a tube design. This would NOT be legal with any Ramsey Part 15 transmitter, unless of course you are equipped to ensure your output is within the legal limit. But fine for their higher powered units IF you are licensed for that purpose.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: C. Crane FM2 Digital Full Spectrum FM Transmitter; Brand: C.Crane; Review: Transmitter worked fine and met the specifications in the description as far as range. However output was roughly half that allowed under FCC Part 15 transmitter rules. I'm a broadcast radio engineer with 40+ years experience. I've tested numerous Part 15 transmitters. This was the ONLY one I tested that met the legal limits for a Part 15 FM transmitter. Every other one tested was well over the legal limit. This one was well under.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Hotel Best Jacaranda; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: Just came back from staying in the Jacaranda in Tenerife with 2 friends for 2 weeks, on arriving in the hotel at 2am it was ok, there are not many English people in the hotel as it is mainly German, French and Itallions who we found very annoying as the World cup was on and while watching the games they would move in front of you to block your vision and also got their kids to do the same and not even bother looking around to see if they are in anyones way, they were very ignorrant people and hope all Itallions are not like that If you have children or as a couple it's probably not that bad but as a group the nightlife is not that good in the area as places close around 12 apart from places like first in last out fun pub which has last orders for 2am, the main nightlife is veronica's which is a good 30 minute walk but much easier in a taxi but costs nearly 20 euro return and watch out with some taxis as when you stop at your destination they bump the price up on the meter by about 2 euro As stated in previous reviews I also don't feel this hotel is a 4 star and you have to pay for extra's like a ketel is about 6 euro and you need to pay 1.50 euro per day to have the fridge open or you can place a drinks order of at least 18 euro and they will fill it with drinks and the fridge will say open for 1 week. I would advise getting a safety deposit box in your room to lock away your money in case anything goes missing and it worked out at 28 euro for 2 weeks rental. Food On most occassions the food was ok as you could guarentee there would be at least one thing on the menu you would like but some days the menu was aweful like on are alst day the menu was good as they had breaded chicken and hamburgers on the menu both which were not cooked as they were still pink on the inside. We decided to upgrade to all inclusive at an extra cost of 22 euro per person per day which got you lunch included, free drinks all day form mthe all inclusive drink list and you could also go to the snack bar which was pretty poor as there was only cakes on offer and feel they should have had more in the snack bar i.e. burgers, hot-dogs, crisps etc.... We noticed on most occassions the lunch menu contained food that was left over from the previous nights meal or they had kebabs which then found it's way into a stew for the next day so they would get rid of the extra food and chips were sometime re-heated as you could see they had been cooked more than once. I would reccomend the chicken breast and the chicken in Mohjo sauce as it; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Haydock St Helens; City: Haydock Merseyside England; Review: Stayed with girlfriend for an overnight stay and very reasonably priced. Room clean and staff are polite. Staff also mentioned if you show your room key in the neighboring pub you get 20% discount but we never visited. Didn't hear any traffic noise like mentioned in a previous review but we were staying at the back of the hotel. Pretty much the same of other travelodge around the UK as set out the same in regards to the layouts; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ellenis Studios; City: Laganas Zakynthos Ionian Islands; Review: Last minute trip booked away for 3 days (8-10 July) arrived about 6am on 8 July to the apartment and met a rep which wasn't the hotel rep to try and entice us into booking trips but we didn't book any as they were €45 upwards instead we ended up booking the Ship faced booze cruize which was €20 from the reps in legends bar. The apartments are cheap and very basic and ideal if you are not spending much time in them as basically just to get your head down after being out drinking. My downside would be the cleanliness of the bathroom which wasn't great as when taking a shower the shower basin would fill up quickly and nearly flood the bathroom plus the toilet seat had been broken and not fixed and also the towels provided didn't look clean and also no light bulbs in the bathroom. Maria and the staff were pleasant in the apartments and we could leave our bags after checking out which we received a knock on the door at 10am to say checkout is 11am or we could pay €30 to stay for 3 hours which wasn't really worth it as out coach wasn't picking us up until 4.30am the next day. Apartment is located on the strip on the further end so within 10 minutes walk to all the main bars and a few bars along the way. I would also recommend the summertime bar which shoes all the sports on big screen and there is no hard sell to get you in like some bars which hassle you as soon as you get near and thr staff are great. A sour end to the trip was waiting for the transfer to pick us up which didn't look like was happening at 4.30am and while waiting a young lad came running past who had been chased by 3 local youths and tried to attack him and then we also witnessed another young lad running down the street who we stopped and he said he was punched by a group of 3 young men which is obviously the same group who are picking on young tourists who are walking down the street on their own. Whether this is to mug people or just to attack them but this is out of order. After witnessing this then the 18-30 tour bus came to collect everyone but the rep said that the 4 of us remaining were not on the list even though there was enough seats exactly for everyone we were told he cannot take us and we'd have to wait even though people are being attacked on the street by locals and in the end the rep gave in and allowed us to get on the coach to go back the airport; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dream Apartments Moorfields; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: Arrived at the apartments just before 6pm on Friday night and no way to get into the building as doors activated by key fob or reception but no staff on reception. Luckily a guest was coming out so managed to get in the building. When inside there was still no receptionist but a printed document with phone numbers and one said reception mobile so phoned that and surprise surprise the staff had left the mobile on reception instead of carrying it with them. Had to phone the emergency number and the staff on the phone tried to contact the hotel but obviously they couldn't and 2 other groups of people wanted to check in too. About 20 minutes passed and both female members of staff came back to reception and said they had been sorting a room but made no apology to anyone why no one was on the desk. Upon checking in each person was asked for a £50 deposit for each person in the room which would be refunded on checkout but my room was booked via agoda and no mention in the terms that a deposit was required and it took the reception staff to contact their manager on her mobile to say that we didn't have to pay a deposit even though it wasn't on the booking terms. . I booked a loft apartment after seeing pictures online of high windows overlooking the main street but when we got into the room it was a small pokey room which overlooked a car park and some recycling centre as you could near banging and trolleys being moved early hours in the morning plus the window locks didn't work so you couldn't fully seal the window to block out the noise so I wasn't expecting this room by going off the picture online. I think the hotel need to have a word with the staff about actually manning the reception desk rather than going missing for 20 minutes and not even carrying the hotel phone so no one could contact them. One final thing is that the wifi didn't work as input the exact password and came up saying incorrect so tried a few times and still didn't work so maybe they have changed the password since the printed sheets where done. I don't normally write negative reviews on here but thought people need to be made aware and I'd think twice about going back to these apartments; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Common End Farm Campsite; City: Ashbourne Derbyshire England; Review: Return visit to common end farm campsite to take part in wild warrior obstacle race for charity as sated 2 years back as well. Campsite is clean and the facilities are also good and clean. Cannot fault the toilets and shower area which were clean and also had a hairdryer and adapter for using an electric shaver which on some sites is charged for. If using a sat nav watch it doesn't send you down a private lane onto someone's property as my sat nav told me the destination was on my right and let me down a narrow lane when in fact the destination was a little but further on the left hand side; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dream Apartments Moorfields; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: Second time staying at Apple apartments and have to say the second time round is what the first time should have been. Speedy check in and checked in within minutes and room that I expected. Thanks to Laura for making my second booking and putting my faith back in Apple apartments and I'll be staying in future as very competitive rates for Liverpool City centre; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Barranco Apartments; City: Playa de las Americas Arona Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: This is the second year in a row me and 2 friends have stayed at this apartment and as other reviews state the apartments are outdated but they are clean and are good for us as not in the apartment much with being out all day. Both years we have had a road facing apartment which always catches the sun most of the day and in an ideal location for Veronicas strip so you have all the bars within a 5 minute walk and if you walk the opposite way you have more restaurants and bars to choose from. Ideal apartment if you are on a budget or with friends if you only want a base to put your head down at night as we don't spend much time at the apartment; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Arthouse Hotel; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: Stayed in the hotel early December 2016 and from walking up to the hotel it has metal sheets up around part of the ground floor and work vans as the hotel isn't currently complete to which we found out about 7 or 8am the next morning being woken up by builders and painters working inside the hotel outside our room as signature living are still working on the hotel as it wasn't currently finished. Upon checking in the member of staff on reception was really helpful and professional and asked of we wanted breakfast which you could pre book at £5 per person or pay on the day but would be higher and informed that breakfast was served up until 12pm. We booked the breakfast and decided to go for it at 11am after checking out but breakfast had already been put away as nothing left despite being told that it would be served up jntil 12pm but we asked for a refund for the breakfast save the staff getting the chef to cook a breakfast and we made alternative arrangements for breakfast. The room was very reasonable priced and the room was massive which had 1 double bed and 2 single beds. Slight downside on the double bed is it isn't actually a double bed more 2 single beds put together and then a double sheet and quilt put on to make it look like a double after realising in the night that it was 2 singles when I was sleeping in the middle of where they had been joined. If I would have known builders and painters would have been working outside out room early that morning I would have booked a different room so we could have had a sleep in as it wasn't mentioned on the phone by the hotel that the hotel was a work in progress and not finished and upon checking in this wasn't mentioned either. When you check in you also get 20% discount in the bar which reception mentioned to us but we decided to go our for food and drink as the bar was empty. The hotel also charge £50 to your bank card per couple as a security deposit which is mentioned upon check in and also on the booking confirmation. The money doesn't actually come out of your account as it's just put on a hold from your balance and then goes back within 10 working days. Apart from the couple of down points above I would stay at this hotel again and it is ideally situated in the centre of town; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wild Pheasant Hotel Spa; City: Llangollen Denbighshire North Wales Wales; Review: Wild pheasant hotel booked for 3 days for my girlfriends birthday / valentines day break away in Llangollen. I booked a superior double room which was really nice and from initial impressions the hotel is designed and finished to a high standard. We found out on our first morning after breakfast that unfortunately all the spa facilities weren't avaliable as the pool was waiting to be fixed as we had booked in for treatments after spending a morning horse riding in the hills of Oswestry. Not having the pool wasn't a deal breaker but the hotel insisted the upgrade our room into a suite for the second and third night as an apology for the spa not being full avaliable and also a bottle of prosecco in the room and also reduced price for a massage and also a voucher to return to use the spa when we are next back. The food at the wild pheasant is really nice and we ate in the hotel each night as we found the food really nice and decided to eat in the hotel as when the food is that nice you don't want to venture anywhere else. Breakfast is also really good and there is either 5 or 6 different choices for breakfast. In my opinion what makes the wild pheasant hotel stand out amongst other hotels is the staff that work here as each member of staff is really nice and always happy to talk to customers and asking how the visit is and we found every member of the team really nice and pleasant and nothing is too much for the staff as they are always on hand to help and this is great for the hotel as happy staff and happy customers is a win win situation. I hope the hotel goes from strength to strength as it has now been taken over and the final touches to finish the hotel into a 46 room hotel and you won't be diaspointed by staying here as you will have a wonderful time and all the staff are a credit to the wild pheasant hotel. Can't wait to book in again and make a return visit as you made our weekend even more special with the extra kind gestures of the room upgrade with us staying for 3 days for my girlfriends birthday and valentines day; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thurnham Hall by Diamond Resorts; City: Thurnham Lancaster District Lancashire England; Review: Spent the weekend at Thurnham Hall with my girlfriend and it's the first time I've been here and have to say I was really impressed as the grounds are lovely and the main hall with the bar and restaurant. The apartment was really nice too and will all mod cons in the kitchen including a dishwasher. The only thing I would change would be the check in/out times as personally fell 4pm check in could be earlier like most places which you can check in between 2pm/3pm as just feels a bit late checking in at 4pm and then departure day checkout is 10am which I feel would have been better like 11am like most apartments/hotels. You do also have to pay for wifi which is a shame seeing this day and age quite a lot of places offer free wifi or even put it into the price of the stays and slightly put the prices up maybe to cover the cost as £5.95 per day for access otherwise. I had very limited Internet on my phone due to network coverage but to be honest it was nice to have no signal on my phone as it's nice to leave the technology aside and enjoy the weekend away fully Apart from the check in/out times I cannot fault the place and I would certainly come back again and would also recommend Thurnham Hall to other people too; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Link Hotel; City: Loughborough Leicestershire England; Review: I decided to book a night at the Link hotel as I was doing a super car racing day at the local track and with it being a 2 hour drive from home I decided to stay over so I could relax and have a meal and drink in the evening before setting back off home the following day. From first entering the hotel everything is clean and welcomed to the hotel by very pleasant and professional staff and check in was very speedy and directed to my room. Room was a nice size and very clean and my room overlooked the courtyard and what I think was the fitness centre but not too sure. Bed was really comfy and slept like a log and the bonus of a 12pm checkout so I know I didn't need to rush the next morning in setting off I can't comment on the breakfast as I didn't order it as I wanted a sleep in Would recommend the link hotel and room rates are very reasonable; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Boathouse Riverside Rooms; City: Chester Cheshire England; Review: Booked the boathouse as a midweek break for me and my girlfriend and booed a few weeks in advance and after seeing reviews mentioned ask for an upper floor room I decided to call 2 weeks before arrival and asked for one which I was told on the phone that we had been allocated an upper floor room. Upon check in we were walked round the side of the building to the front to room 5 which was a building with a couple of rooms and not what I booked but was told unfortunately they didn't have any upper floor rooms but informed it was on my booking comments that we had one. Awoken the next morning around 8am by builders speaking loudly and shouting in the car park so not a restful and good sleep in. Tv signal was poor as constantly breaking up Email received from the general manager offering us a complimentary midweek stay of stay at a weekend with a supplement charge and advised us to email him directly to book our return visit but to this day still no response to emails from the general manager regarding the offer of coming back to the hotel; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Aparthotel Puerto Plata; City: Puerto Rico Gran Canaria Canary Islands; Review: Me and my girlfriend stayed at Puerto Plata apartments which were very clean and had the basics for your stay like a fridge, hob, kettle. However the TV and wifi is an additional charge if you find yourself requiring the TV or wifi access during your stay. If you struggle with the heat the apartments also come equipped with air con but again this is an additional charge if you want it along with a fan which can also be hired but potentially cheaper to buy a fan in the shops than rent one as from memory they weren't cheap to hire Apartments are very clean and are cleaned 5 times a week apart from a Thursday and Sunday Only downside with the apartments is if you don't like waking the apartments are up a hill like some on the island are higher up than others but if you don't mind quite a bit of walking then this shouldn't put you off staying here; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NH Amsterdam Noord; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: Really nice hotel and booked at a great price of £68 for the night as flew into Amsterdam for the weekend to see Stereophonics perform at AFAS live. Hotel is really clean and nice staff Only downside is the location which is a bit out of the way from Amsterdam central but the hotel offers a free shuttle service to and from its NH sister hotel which runs until midnight which is handy for getting to and from Amsterdam central and think the shuttle ran every 20ish minutes. If you don’t use the free shuttle service then expect to pay around €25 from Amsterdam central to the hotel Great city break and amazing Amsterdam and will come back for another visit; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Sofitel Melbourne on Collins; City: Melbourne Victoria; Review: Stayed for two nights at the Sofitel. It was the first time at the hotel. The room was clean and all facilities worked. The views over the city at night were quite spectacular. Would have preferred a separate shower than one over the bath. I had a room on the 39th floor. The bars and restaurants are on the 35th floor with an open atrium to the top of the building. I could hear the piano and noises in my room. Not too imposing but could still be heard. On the Saturday morning after a room service breakfast the housekeeper knocked on the door at 8.30 to clean the room. I found that to be too early and told her later. I wanted some private time in my room and placed the Do No Disturb sign on the door. Sure enough about 11am the housekeeper again knocked on the door to clean the room. I sent her away again. I am not sure what part of Do Not Disturb was not understood. I went to the buffet breakfast on Sunday morning. It costs $42 and was not worth it. Some of the juices and cereals had run out and not replaced. The fare is pretty standard and no offer for eggs to be specially cooked. No second cup of coffee was offered.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Hotel City Park Grand; City: Launceston Tasmania; Review: We had three rooms which we booked through Wotif for $120 each. The rooms were excellent with everything you could want. My bathroom was a little small and could have had extra bench space but the shower was great with good pressure. The other rooms were larger, some with quite large bathrooms. Handy electric shoe cleaners/polishers on each level. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The room overlooking the street had double glazing cutting noise to zero. We had a continental breakfast the next day which was well stocked and fresh.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: B Hotel; City: Barcelona Catalonia; Review: Stayed here three nights. Our room overlooked 7 lanes of traffice and was near a huge round-about so it was quite noisy and the tiny balcony could not be used because of the noise. Nice pool area on the roof but was too cold for a swim. The rooms are large but have THE most complicated fittings. The lights are madness - eg to turn on the toilet light you need to press the TV button on the console. We never really worked out how to turn lights on and off other than by trial and error. There was a blind separating the bathroom from the bedroom and had to ask reception how to close it. Also had to ask reception where the hair dryer was. Went to use it the next day and it did not work. They did send another up for the remainder of the stay. The hotel has three internet computers available for free use. The staff were very friendly and helpful and all spoke good English. Close to the Metro station Made the mistake of booking over the Grand Prix weekend so the prices were doubled (did not know at the time of booking); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Madrid Airport; City: Madrid; Review: This is a modern and clean hotel. The room was large and the bed was huge too. Great bathroom - large and clean. The bathroom products are Crabtree & Evelyn and very nice too. Used the room service for a club sandwich which was great with lots of chips and three sauces. The price was double in Australia though. Very quick delivery although nowhere on the bill for a tip and I had no coin left. Convenient shuttle to the airport. Being close to the airport would be the only reason to use this hotel as it is too far from Madrid city. Did not have breakfast or use any other services. Very friendly staff that signed me up to HH without having too fill in the form and offered a wakeup call and shuttle.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seashells Scarborough; City: Scarborough Stirling Greater Perth Western Australia; Review: We stayed at the Sand Castles part of the complex. Had two three bedroom units facing the ocean on the ground and third floor. Plenty of room - large lounges and tables. 2nd and 3rd bedroom can be a little small but plenty of cupboard space. Kitchen clean and fully equiped with newish equipment. Pool was great. Sunsets on the balconies are excellent - take your camera. Can be overly protective of security which can be good too. Plenty of parking underneath. With residents so no loud parties allowed. Can be noisy in the area - removing skips during the night. Overall excellent facilities .; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rendezvous Hotel Perth Scarborough; City: Scarborough Stirling Greater Perth Western Australia; Review: Stayed here for 2 nights on the 22nd floor (although first 13 do not exist). The view from the balcony was excellent down the beach but wind did whistle through the gaps in the seals. Although clean the whole place needs an upgrade as the furniture and bathroom is worn and dated. The TV (not a flat screen) is old and the sound at times would disappear. Called maintenance and the man fiddled with the back and got sound only for it to go off again several times over the stay. Did not use room service. Breakfast was very basic with not a huge choice. Probably stay in the serviced apartments in the area before this hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Akol Hotel; City: Canakkale Canakkale Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: Stayed here overnight as part of a tour - maybe that is the problem. Room was very dated - it might have been 4 star in the 70's but not since. They have no non-smoking rooms and mine stank. Was able to open the balcony door to get rid of most. The bed was very soft and I ended up with a bad back. TV did not work as the back of the remote was missing. In a good location though.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Electra Palace Athens; City: Athens Attica; Review: Stayed here for a week in June 2011. I had a single room but it actually had two single beds together, each with its own doona. Large clean bathroom. Only 1 English speaking station on TV. No tea making facilities and no iron and ironing board. The hotal is in an excellent location to most of the main sights of Athens. Also close to the day trip bus departure point. Close to the main Metro and was easy to catch the train to and from the airport. The pool is great after a day of sightseeing. Was able to get good service here for drinks. The room service food was good. The breakfast buffet was extensive but no egg station. Freshly squeezed orange juice was great. Internet is free for half an hour. Overall I would recomment this hotel for the great location and the pool.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The PortsWood; City: Cape Town Central Western Cape; Review: Stayed here two nights in January 2012. The location is one block from the V & A Waterfront which is lively. The room was clean and everthing worked okay. Good and filling breakfasts. Good value for its location. Housekeeping found hair spray for me when I ran out at the end of my stay. Travel desk booked our trip on safari for us; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Eendracht Hotel; City: Stellenbosch Western Cape; Review: Stayed here two nights in January . Good rooms in a quiet location but close to the centre of Stellenbosch. Has a small pool which was pleasant after a hot day sight seeing. Breakfast was good and filling. Rooms were clean with fresh fruit in each room. Could offer more information on things to do - they basically checked us in with no info or maps provided. Beds were a little hard but slept okay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Auldington; City: Launceston Tasmania; Review: Stayed here overnight during Festivale. Price was high due to the demand at this time. The bedroom was large. Bathroom was huge. Both were clean. I had room 23 at the front of the property. Did not really like the communal balcony that run in front of the windows. The blinds did not seem to close completely as I could see out when laying down - not sure if others could look in. Bit of a walk to City Park but still quite okay if staying for Festivale. Had to pay for parking - not much - but it is its own parking area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Riad Dar El Masa; City: Marrakech Marrakech Tensift El Haouz Region; Review: Stayed here for four nights. Arranged to be collected in a moden 4WD that took us close to the riad where Jamal met us to guide the rest of the way. Jamal looked after us throughout the trip. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. Had a meal here and it was quite tasty. They have a pool but too cold at that time of the year - the sun terrace was nice though.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Royal Mansour Casablanca; City: Casablanca Grand Casablanca Region; Review: Stayed here one night after flight from Australia. Quite a comformable room. Rooms are large although a little dated. Clean and a nice bar downstairs. The breakfast room was large and had a great selection of foods.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Riad Menzeh; City: Marrakech Marrakech Tensift El Haouz Region; Review: Agree with the other reviews about this being a great riad. After spending 4 nights at riad Dar el Masa, Jamal led us to riad Menzeh for a further 4 nights. Was greeted by Bernard with mint tea. What a great host. Tea and biscuits aways available when we came in each day. Bernard walked us to the sqare to show the way - always remember the land marks as you go! Also arranged for a great day trips to the Berber country (highlight) and to Essaouira. The trip into the country gets you away from the constant noise and merchants - chance for a walk and to visit at a traditional house. Essaouira was a nice seaside fishing village. Lots of restaurants/cafe and shops in the city. Had a hamman on the top floor - scrubbed pink as babies! I also had a massage and facial and all were very pleasant and relaxing. Had a great stay here and enjoyed Bernard's birthday drinks!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Britania Hotel a Lisbon Heritage Collection; City: Lisbon Lisbon District Central Portugal; Review: Stayed here three nights. Excellent hotel. The bed was huge and comfortable. Bathroom was large as was the room generally. Close to the town centre and in a nice area on a client street. Staff were very helpful.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Austin s Arts et Metiers Hotel; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: Stayed here for 2 nights in June. The property is very convenient to the Metro (across road). The room was small but adequate (shower stall was very small). The staff were helpful. The property is in a quiet street with restaurants in the general area. Great having free wifi and a safe.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Sebastian s; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: Stayed here 3 nights in a single room (110). This was the smallest room I have stayed in, however they did warn by email after I booked. They also gave me a 10% discount as they could not move me and gave me strawberries and chocolates as a welcome so cannot complain too much. It is in a great location close to the centre but on a lovely canal. Lots of restaurants in the area - favourite was de Belhamel. The staff were friendly. Room was clean although they removed the shampoo and soap I was using and did not restock. Handy safe and free wifi.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Singular Patagonia; City: Puerto Natales Magallanes Region; Review: I agree with everything previously said about this hotel. It is truly stunning and a pleasure to spend time. I have a couple of compliments - to Michelle Mohaupt - the Australian rep who was able to assist with some transport questions. And to Florence - who took time to book our return bus, booked the taxi and did our flight checkins. She also called around the town for tours we could go on as the weather had blown up for the boat trip we wanted. In the end we did the full day trip with the hotels tour. The trip was long but the views are spectacular. Not to mention the wind! Lunch was gourmet. Highly recommend this tour. The meals were great and we are still talking about the fabulous lamb shoulder - the only meal my travelling partner finished.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Hotel City Park Grand; City: Launceston Tasmania; Review: Spent one night here for Festivale. The hotel is very close to City Park and ideal for Festivale. The room was large and well appointed. Bathroom was large with double basins and lots of toiletries. Everything was clean and comfortable. Air conditioning however did not seem to work.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Raquel; City: Havana Ciudad de la Habana Province Cuba; Review: I had six nights in a suite in January. The room was quite large and comfortable on 3rd floor. However, I did only have 2 hot showers in those six days. Which is fine when you realise that nothing can be done and it just is that way. Also, no 220v power points so had to charge camera and phone at front desk using their adapter. The internet at the front desk was very slow and would freeze at times. Noticed the following in the old city of Havana - no wifi, no mobile phone reception, only accepts Visa at the ATM's, credit card system not always working. This hotel was in a good area only a couple of streets from the Old Square. Up the hill to the Capitol. Although a CUC5 ride on a bike rickshaw though.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Florida; City: Havana Ciudad de la Habana Province Cuba; Review: Had one night here in January 2014. Had hot water and a 220v power point! Great location in the old city on a pedestrian walk way. The rooms were large and clean. Breakfast is odd - you have to ask for what you want - they will not offer. Quiet oasis from heat, crowds and noise.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Le Jardin des Plumes; City: Giverny Eure Haute Normandie Normandy; Review: Stayed here one night. Had a room in the gardens - has a bath in the room with a hand shower. Managed to splash water everywhere. Has a small table and chairs in the entrance which was great to enjoy the afternoon and the thunder storm. A bit of a walk with a case from the bus stop - no taxis turned up at the station. Buses do not run often so check the net before you go. The room was clean and had plenty of amenities. The gardens were beautiful. Had dinner at the restaurant - while a little expensive was very good. They looked after me as a sole diner and advised the wines for the meals. Breakfast also and the best was the juice. Only negative was despite ordering and them reconfirming the taxi arrived late and I missed my train - 2 hour wait with the suitcase. No really the hotels fault but they were more busy seating their lunch guests so chase up the taxi.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Mansart; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: Only had one night here and was due to join a tour the next day. The room was clean and had good amenities. The area was quite central but in a very expensive shopping area. Opera quite close. Lots of restaurants in the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado; City: Urubamba Sacred Valley Cusco Region; Review: Stayed here two nights. Great room with fabulous views. Provided me with a TV to send me to sleep each night. Food and drinks were great. Fireworks and special meal on NYE. Some climbing up and down stairs to reach the restaurant and reception.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Singular Santiago Lastarria Hotel; City: Santiago Santiago Metropolitan Region; Review: Stayed at the Patagonia version a couple of years ago - still my most favourite hotel. This version is very comfortable. Room and facilities were great. Arranged a pickup at the airport and that worked fine. Also arranged a private tour one day with a meet time of 9am. Finally picked up at 10am so not sure if it was traffic that was blamed or they hadn't booked it and had to get someone at short notice. Ate at the restaurant and was very good food and service.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Belmond Hotel Monasterio; City: Cusco Cusco Region; Review: Stayed here two nights. Room very comfortable and quite large. No view though. Very old property but modern facilities. Didn't eat in the restaurant but had room service and it was very good. Very good checkin after a long drive was the Sacred Valley to Cusco as the trains had stopped going to Cusco.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Titilaka; City: Puno Puno Region; Review: Did not do justice to this. I had a cold prior to going and together with some altitude sickness I spend most time in bed. Ate little. They did give me oxygen and some chicken soup but only felt well when I got back to sea level. The facilities are great and just sorry I could not go on any excursions.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lake St Clair Lodge; City: Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park Tasmania; Review: Stayed here overnight. Room and bathroom were large. It was a spa and lake view cabin. TV was not working - satellite had not been fixed since the last big wind. Fabulous gas heater kept the room toasty. Cabin 20 has a small deck - be careful to make sure the door shuts properly so you don't wake up with the door ajar (no wonder it got cold). The floor is cold so bring slippers or use their supplied. Also bring a torch as it is a little walk to the restaurant and it is dark.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Hotel City Park Grand; City: Launceston Tasmania; Review: Stayed here overnight for Festivale. Nice and close to the Park. Also close to the city centre. Upgraded to a spa suite in the Stables. Very clean with good fittings. Did note that the two clocks both had the wrong and different times. Had a continental breakfast, which had all the usual cereal, fruit and breads.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pumphouse Point; City: Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park Tasmania; Review: Had one night here. Everything was great from the welcome at check-in with a glass of Tasmanian sparkling to check out. The larder ingredients are great. They could stock cider in the room fridge. Many drinks to choose in the lounges. Had the panoramic room on the foreshore. Great views through its four windows. And close to the dining room. Shared dinner was great - we were last to leave the dining room. Breakfast had lots of choices. Butter could be warmed a little as it was unspreadable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hyatt Melbourne; City: Melbourne Victoria; Review: Stayed here one night for comedy festival. Very comfortable hotel. Everything clean. Lots of bathroom amenities. Close to the theatre. Central location. Room service was good and no service fee. Great views over Melbourne; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Freycinet Retreat; City: Coles Bay Freycinet Glamorgan Spring Bay Tasmania; Review: Had two nights here. Very clean. Great views. It is a little out of town and up a dirt road but that ensures the noises you hear are nature around you. Road is a bit bumpy at the top but okay if you take it slow. Plenty of space for me. Fast internet and good TV reception. Lots of breakfast provisions - juice, milk, cornflakes. Muesli, conserves and crumpets. Very relaxing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Bay Highland Hotel; City: Strathpeffer Ross and Cromarty Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: we stayed 3 nights at the highland Hotel on a self drive stay with Shearings and we enjoyed our stay very much. Entertainment was good especially Ronnie Ross. Food was good and all the staff all very friendly. The only thing that let it down was finding out that the duvets covers are not changed after each guest leaves but just routinely changed, its just the top and bottom sheet are changed. That for me was the only thing I found to be not to my liking and to be honest would make me think twice about returning.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Teesdale Hotel; City: Middleton in Teesdale County Durham England; Review: We stayed 4th and 5th September for 2 days on B&B. Very friendly welcome, given ideas where to walk etc. and shown to room. Hotel needs a to have a little time and effort to fix paintwork which is chipped in many areas Room (think it was no. 13) was very old fashioned, and furniture could do with some TLC ( was like being in a bedroom at my Grans when I was small I am OAP now) Television was a 14 inch portable with poor reception.Bedroom windows could do with being sanded down and repainted as bit tatty. also leg on rack for suitcase badly chipped. However bed linen and towels clean and that for me is a must. Did not use restuarant for dinner we just had our meals in the bar. Barman was friendly The meal we had was fine , nothing to rave about,(could have done with more ice cream with the Baileys dessert) Breakfast was good with a good range to choose from.Fruit Juices , Cereals, and Full English toast with a selection of Jam/Marmalade. . We got a really good deal through KGB and glad we went as it was an area we had never visited before, would we stay again, probably , but only if we got a really good deal again not at the prices on the hotels web site.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn Gretna Green M74; City: Gretna Green Dumfries and Galloway Scotland; Review: Stayed on 3rd September for one night on our way to Teesdale Hotel , Middleton-in-Teesdale. Car parking was easy at hotel. Check in was quick and friendly Car registration entered into computer at reception desk to ensure free parking, Room was freshly decorated, bedroom and bathroom very clean as was bed linen. Free wi-fi in bedroom. was excellent. Didnt hear much noise throughout our stay. Did not have the breakfast so cannot comment on that.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Inverness East Hotel; City: Inverness Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: Stayed for three nights. Check in was quick and easy. Lady on reception was very friendly (Geraldine) . Our room was on first floor and we found it to be very clean. Towels changed each day and tea and coffee refilled if used. The only thing I found annoying was the banging of doors by other guests about 1am: and 4am on two mornings.Check out very quick just put key in box at reception and go.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Praia Sol; City: Quarteira Faro District Algarve; Review: We stayed for a week in March. Read the reviews before I booked , but , not being nasty, I think that people are using rose tinted specs when writing their reviews. I have stayed in many 3 star hotels are better, especially food wise. Yes staff are friendly Antonio and the rest, but you dont go on holiday and base reviews on just friendly staff. The meals, breakfast same every day was Beans, bacon , sausage eggs, cereal , yogurts bread with choice of jam or honey,coffee was terrible and so was juice whether it be orange or pineapple. Dinner 2 choices Soup or Salad, Meat or Fish dessert was usually fruit or cake. only once in the week was there any vegetables with dinner, never before have I enjoyed broccoli so much,,If you did not like the main course they would make an omlette for you, for me that was the best meal of the week. . now when its fruit for dessert you may get a kiwi fruit cut into slices or orange segments. and thats it Food is not your normal Portuguese food the.Hotel seems to cater more for British guests than any other. Clean towels were provided every two days, but you got towels on a Thursday and the next time you got clean towels were Sunday as no cleaning on Saturday,maybe there is something wrong with me but I like to have clean towels every day even when I am at home. Sheet were supposed to be changed once in the week, that never happened either. We did not use the back gate as usually when we went out there was no one at reception as they were busy doing other tasks in hotel. It was no problem walking to either Vilamoura or Quarteira from front of hotel and the beach was only a couple of mins walk out the front door. Now the question is would we go back to the hotel the answer would be yes , but only if we got a good deal again., but would have evening meal out.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn Gretna Green M74; City: Gretna Green Dumfries and Galloway Scotland; Review: Third visit here, staying for two nights, as usual staff friendly, easy check in, free parking. Room 60 was our room this time as usual very clean.not as quiet as the other rooms we stayed in, When I went into bathroom noticed a smell like damp or blocked drains, thought maybe it was because door was closed for a while as we did not arrive till after 10pm. Next day smell was still there, so left bathroom door open to see if that would help, but, cleaner closed the door. Ate at eat in at service area, reception have vouchers to give 10% discount. Food very good , service was a little slow as chap doing the cooking and taking orders was on his own , but we were in no hurry. Next morning no hot water , so I was not a happy person I do not like cold showers, had to boil kettle to be able to wash my hair. Reported smell to reception so hopefully whatever the problem was it will get fixed . I would still stay at this hotel as it was the first time I had to complain.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Astir Notos Hotel; City: Potos Thasos Northeast Aegean Islands; Review: Having just returned from 2 weeks at this hotel this is our honest views. As most other reviewer have said, hotel very clean, Room(210) was large, well decorated and clean. cleanest bathroom in any hotel I have visited). Corner shower felt claustrophobic as not very big, it would have been worse if they had not taken down the soap dispenser that was in it. The bathroom itself was very narrow. Towels changed daily and sheets were changed every 3 days. All staff friendly. The only downside to the hotel we found was the food. Breakfast started at 8 am till 10 am ,and we were usually down at 8.05 to get the best of the day, but the hot food was out well before that time. The fried eggs about 30 of them one on top of each other in a dish were rather plastic in texture, the omlettes again were prepared too early , again they were all sitting in a dish , sometimes if you wanted a warm piece you had to go to bottom of the pile of egg. The croissants also tasted as though they had been left a while then reheated The rest of the breakfast, salad ,cheese, cereals and yogurts, were good , as was juice and coffee. The dinners I am afraid I did not like most of the time I usually had the soup then had salad or sometimes had chips, but again the chips tasted like they had been cooked, left then reheated. Maybe food was to other people taste but unfortunately not ours. In the evening I did not see may people sitting in the bar area of hotel, I think perhaps they went into Potos as prices there were lower than hotel for drinks. We enjoyed our time at hotel but feel if they did not cook so much food at once it could be a lot better. We would not return to the hotel simply because as we saw most of Thassos there is no need to return. .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Caledonian Hotel; City: Ullapool Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: Just arrived back from a 2 day stay here 4th time at this hotel and hotel definitely improved since last visit. The twin room we had (24) was compact but it was clean and more importantly bedding and bathroom clean. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. Did not eat in restaurant , but had a meal in the bar which was very good. Entertainment on Friday and Saturday nights was good , but especially the Saturday night. If hotel keeps improving I would return as we usually visit the area twice a year.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Inverness West Hotel; City: Inverness Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: Stayed here on 7th Sept. for one night. They actually started looking after us before we arrived by sending email saying they had golf course view rooms available, which we requested and also a room on top floor, which is exactly what we got. Check in was quick and girl on reception friendly and gave us all the relevant information. We booked the meal deal and receptionist (sorry I forgot name) booked us a table. . Room , bedding and bathroom, very clean, so no complaints there. Meal at the adjoining restaurant was very good, as was breakfast with plenty of choice. Check out was quick and friendly receptionist checked everything was ok with our stay. I certainly would return to this premier inn without hesitation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Gran Rey; City: Valle Gran Rey La Gomera Canary Islands; Review: We have just returned from the hotel after spending 2 weeks on half board. All the reviews that say the food is good , the staff friendly are correct, they will speak if you speak to them, but they are very busy I cannot fault them in any way lots of options at breakfast and also at dinner, plenty for vegetarians as well. Our stay at hotel was ruined because of the work, we arrived on 7th June stayed in a 1st floor mountain view room which was very nice. Then on the 8th work started on the swimming pool,which was right above us, they were renewing barrier all round pool so there was in our room constant noise from angle grinder, drill and hammering sometimes from 10am till 10pm, but while the noise from pool was going on they started work on balconies along from us, then we had hammer drill and hammer going all day,along with swimming pool noise.We had one 1 day of quiet in our 2week which was on Sunday 18th June. Having said that, we would return to hotel as area was very ice, plenty of eating places if required, a lot of them were closed for holidays while we were there.There is also 5 beaches within walking distance, we normally went to the Playa del Ingles beach, about 20mins walk from hotel.Although it is very popular with nudists it did not bother us. Hopefully the work has finished now.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Comfort Suites Moab near Arches National Park; City: Moab Utah; Review: I had never been to a Comfort Suites facility before and my husband and I were very disappointed in the hotel we had originally booked for our trip to Moab. After the first night in the other hotel, we were ready to leave, and a quick search online told me that Comfort Suites had a vacancy. I called and immediately made a reservation. The hotel was great! We both have back problems and need a very comfortable, but supportive bed to sleep in (we're accustomed to memory foam at home). The CS didn't disappoint us at all....it has one of the best hotel beds we've ever slept in. The bathroom was large and easy to move around in (unlike the other hotel), towels were plump and soft, the room had both a microwave and refrigerator, and the breakfast was very good. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful, going the extra mile to look for information for us when asked a question. When we were checking out we spoke with Robby, the guest services manager, who was very helpful, and we learned that the hotel had just opened 3 months prior to our stay. We saved $45 a night by moving from the other hotel to CS, and had a wonderful stay there. We'll definitely suggest a CS hotel to friends, and wouldn't hesitate to look for another CS hotel on another trip.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Hotel Portsmouth; City: Portsmouth New Hampshire; Review: When our hotel reservations for another, modern hotel in Portsmouth didn't pan out as we thought they would, we booked into the Hotel Portsmouth for the night of December 6. Right away we knew that this hotel should have been our first choice all along! A small, cozy 'boutique' hotel, located in a renovated building, it's full of ambience and a New England 'feel.' Two beautiful, comfortable sitting rooms with very comfortable chairs and couches, books and newspapers to read, and backgammon and chess games to play, are on the first floor, as is the breakfast room. Our room was comfortable, had windows that actually opened, a modern bathroom, and plenty of space. The bed was quite comfortable, and shower in the bathroom was awesome! Coffee, tea, spring water, and sparkling water are available 24/7 in the breakfast room. Parking is free, and in the back of the building; we could even leave our car in the lot the next morning while we went out to explore the shops downtown. Everything is a close 10-15 minute walk.....great restaurants, unique shops, and some of the historical sights. The hotel staff was very professional and friendly. We ended up being glad our initial reservations didn't work out, and would definitely stay in the Hotel Portsmouth again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sarah Kendall House; City: Newport Rhode Island; Review: We chose Sarah Kendall House from an internet site when planning a quick getaway to Newport, and couldn't have made a better choice! The location is terrific - just far enough away from the downtown area to avoid the noise, but close enough to walk to shops and restaurants. The house itself is lovely - obviously restored to it's original beauty, decorated in period antiques, yet homey and comfortable. Our room was beautiful.... the king-sized bed was quite comfortable (and we're picky about beds!) and there were ample chairs and divans to sit and relax on. There was a gas fireplace in the room, which we could adjust for the temperature we wanted. The bathroom was huge; the towels were nice and fluffy, and the shower had a good, even flow. There was a small refrigerator in an alcove just off the bathroom. Our hosts Fran and Bryan were friendly and loved sharing information about their home, which they've owned for 25 years. When we arrived, Fran pointed out some 'little extras' for us that you might not find in a lot of B&Bs....fresh baked cookies, chocolates, a Keurig (with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate available), and a decanter of brandy in that was of interest to us. Breakfast was served in the main dining room and included fresh fruit, bagels, banana bread, yogurt, granola, and bacon and eggs. It was delicious! One of the most interesting things about the house is the tower, which Bryan and Fran had put back on the house during restoration. The 50-step up inside it is well worth it..... you can look out over the water to Newport Bridge and the wharf area. It's furnished with comfortable chairs, and on a warm summer night, the perfect place to relax. Our only regret was that we were there in winter, so missed seeing the gardens in bloom! Would we go back? Absolutely! The Sarah Kendall House is a great find in Newport!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Postcard Inn On The Beach; City: St Pete Beach Florida; Review: We were at the PCI in early April for a family wedding, which had been planned well in advance. Our family had almost 40 people staying at the hotel during this time. During the last few months prior to the wedding, the hotel was bought by another company and management changed. That, evidently, led to changes in other staff, which affected out stay. There were some things about the hotel we really liked, primarily the location (very close so we could walk to restaurants), the courtyard, the beach, and the pool. However, there were several things that we found completely unacceptable, some of which affected only a few members of our overall group. Some examples: 1. My husband and I checked in on Wednesday and never saw Housekeeping in our room until Saturday afternoon (we were leaving on Sunday). Housekeeping also missed the rooms of others in our group for the first day or two. 2. When I booked my rooms, I had requested a late checkout on Sunday (2 PM, as opposed to the regular checkout time of 11 AM), due to my 94-year-old mother traveling with us and needing to nap before we left for the airport. I was told I could only request late checkout when we checked in, because the hotel first needed to know how many incoming guests they had for the day we checked out. When we arrived, I again requested late checkout, and was told I had to wait until the morning we checked out to submit my request. The Room Manager who handled all of the block room bookings for our large group wasn't any help, either. On Sunday morning, I again requested a late checkout and was told my mother was 'on the list.' I had to press the front desk staff to confirm that we DID have a late checkout in that room. My husband and I checked out of our room just before 11 AM, and I again confirmed that my other room had a late checkout. However, when I went back to that room around 1 PM to wake my mother up to get ready to leave, I found the room key had been deactivated. When I went to the front desk, I was told they had to re-key the room, which really just meant re-activate the key, Why the front desk staff (same person who handled my own checkout just before 11 AM) didn't tell me that whenI checked out at 11 AM, and just re-activated the 2nd room key at that time is anyone's guess. From my perspective, it's just not caring about the customer and not paying attention to details. 3. The hotel also needs to upgrade the bath towels. Everything we received, in both rooms, was thin and scratchy.... unacceptable for the price of the room per night. 4. Pool towels were nice, when we could get them. The first day we were out at the pool there were no towels there and no staff person to ask about them....we had to go inside to the; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Stone Gables Bed and Breakfast; City: Cleveland Ohio; Review: We spent a night at Stone Gables on a quick trip to Cleveland, and couldn’t have been more satisfied. The house is lovely, well furnished, and comfortable. The bathroom in our room was nicely equipped (the most fluffy towels I’ve ever had in any hotel or B&B), the bed was quite comfortable, parking ample, WiFi good, and breakfast very nice. Connie (our hostess) couldn’t be there when we arrived, but left complete instructions so we could get into the house and settle in. There are restaurant suggestions in the foyer, and we found them to be very helpful. Connie works hard to please her guests, and we’d highly recommend Stone Gables to anyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Jamestown; City: Jamestown Chautauqua County New York; Review: We stayed her for one night on a recent trip to Jamestown, and were unbelievably impressed! The room was large and had plenty of room to move around in (ours had a king bed). The bed was very comfortable, although the pillows were a bit too ‘squishy’ for my liking. The bathroom was large, with a good-sized shower and raised sink. The breakfast was one of the better hotel free breakfasts we’ve had. Staff was very friendly. Would definitely recommend this Holiday Inn.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Crantock Beach Holiday Park; City: Crantock Cornwall England; Review: Just returned from from First visit to Crantock Beach - having previously stayed at other parks in the area ( Including Neighbour at Hollywell Bay ). I was really impressed with the park - the caravans and the facilities were spotless, the staff friendly and efficient and the whole atmosphere perfect for a relaxing week. Was worried before we arrived that my 14 year old son might find the stay "boring" but fears unfounded. The Bar / Club was just right - space to sit and relax with a drink, menu good if eating and no overbearing entertainment - oh and the wifi worked ! Local amenities are good, the scenery is great and the beach is probably one of the best you could find in the area. If you are looking for a typical "Hi-De-Hi" Holiday Park with all the facilities and extra costs then his is probably not the place for you - but if you are looking for good value, simple and safe location and a well run park close to Newquay and surrounding area, then this is well worth a try. I would have no hesitation making a future visit or in recommending to others.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jurys Inn Dublin Parnell Street; City: Dublin County Dublin; Review: My wife and I stayed for 2 nights on 22/23 January 2016. This was a birthday treat so I wanted it to be just right, stress free enjoyment without paying the earth - I wasn't disappointed in any way. We arrived late on the Friday evening (after 10:00 pm because of a delayed flight ) and we're greeted by one of the best and most efficient receptionists I have ever met. Nothing was too much trouble, the check-in was really smooth and there was real concern that we might have miss eating because it was late and the restaurant was closed - we had already eaten but it was a nice touch to be considered like that. Our room was just right for our 2 night stay - not cramped, room to sit and watch TV, a good desk area and all the usual facilities - kettle etc, hair dryer, iron and wifi that really worked. Breakfast was good - the usual buffet type scramble but the hot food was hot, the cereals and fruit plentiful and the drinks were varied and on-tap. We went for breakfast at 9:30 and it was really busy, but we found a table with very little wait. The bar area was very comfortable and again the staff seemed to take real pleasure in dealing with guests. Prices for drinks were on a par with outside bars. Check Out on Sunday was again problem free - we had a late flight and were offfered "left luggage" facilities which we great fully accepted. The hotel is very clean, fresh and secure - this should be a given but is not always the case in city centres - the guests were lively but it wasn't noisy. All in all and for the cost and for the experience I was impressed - I would certainly stay again and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel for a weekend break with family or friends.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Savoy Jersey; City: St Helier Jersey Channel Islands; Review: Just recently returned from a very relaxing break at the Savoy hotel in St Helier. Hotel is very much the modern boutique style – very attractive entrance hall which makes you feel pretty special as you arrive. Guests are greeted in the foyer and then taken and sat at a desk to check in – and then personally shown to the lifts which is a nice welcoming touch. We had a room on the second flow – so quiet and away from the bar / restaurant. Room was a good size, bathroom equally roomy. Usual conveniences, trouser press, hairdryer, tea/coffee, safe. Room clean and comfortable – had a squeaky floorboard but no hassle there. Breakfast was served in a Breakfast Room overlooking the outdoor terrace and pool. Breakfast service was very efficient, hot choice cooked to order and an extras list if you felt adventurous – personally I have never fancied kippers at breakfast. We didn’t sample the bar or the Al-la-carte offerings, but enough people seemed to be so assume they were pretty good too. All staff we met were excellent, very helpful and gave the impression that they were genuinely happy to working with the guests. We needed to print some boarding card and the person on duty was truly happy to help. Only slight gripe was that because I booked on an external site I had to pay for parking – and on one night because of a function in the Jazz Club the car park was full. The Savoy is a 15 minute walk from the main shopping streets, and a 10 minute drive from the ferry port. I saw people arriving in Taxi’s and there was a shuttle bus from somewhere but as we had our car with us needed neither. A very pleasant stay, good value for September and just what we wanted. Would certainly consider visiting again and have no problems recommending to others.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Block; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: Staed at The Block for one (Thursday) night as a last minute getaway to Liverpool. Had tried to book hotels but apparently either all full or overpriced - I would never pay more than £150 a night anywhere. So chose The Block having never done the apartment route before and no have to say I'm glad I did. Apartment offered everything we needed - bedroom, bathroom and open plan kitchen / lounge area. Well equipped with appliances, spotlessly clean and very comfortable, couldn't have asked for more. Bedroom just as expected, fresh clean sheets and towels, Hairdryer for Mrs P so all happy. Check In process (from 3:00pm) was effortless as was checkout ( 11:00 am ). Cost of £85.00 for the night was a good 20 % less than hotel alternative. Units are 10 minutes walk from Albert Dock and a further 5 minutes from Liverpool 1. Would definitely stay again but would probably book direct with the complex rather than through booking.com. Only slight gripe - I don't like having to Pre-auth a Damage Cover of £100.00 onto my credit card and can see that being an issue for some people.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Travellers Rest Inn; City: Grasmere Lake District Cumbria England; Review: Pre Christmas Weekend in the Lakes We have just spent the second of a two night weekend away in the Lakes at the Travellers Rest at Grasmere / Ambleside. Wow, what a delightful Country Inn, picturesque on the outside and even better on the inside. the Christmas decorations in the dining room were fantastic and really added that special touch to the already warm welcome that we received from the moment we walked through the door. The room that we had for the night was just right, tastefully decorated, and was spotlessly clean. We just felt so comfortable - very relaxing after a long day taking in the Windermere Christmas Market and the the shops in Bowness and Ambleside. We dined on the Saturday evening - selecting from the 3 course “steak menu” which at £20 per head was excellent value, good presentation, and good choice - no complaints from us there. The breakfast the following morning was just as good and a good set-up for a days walking or more sightseeing. There was a real mix of guests, some like us having a relaxing time doing not too much and others on more energetic walking pursuits. The young team running the Travellers worked really hard, were very accommodating and really cared about the guests experience. I’m glad we stayed, and I’ve already been told by Mrs P that we are going to visit again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Thank goodness I have Prime, I could not have waited more than 2 days. The 6 packages I ordered came taped together on all 4 sides with packing tape, and removing the tape was to be a great big hassle in order not to tear each package risking all important freshness. Welp, while surgically trying to free each purple package of currants & mildly sweet pastry delishness, 2 packages became torn and I was forced, yes forced to eat each torn package, and in doing so, I probably gained one thousand and fitty pounds.

Title: Hoosier Hill Charms Original Cereal Marshmallows, HUGE 2 lb bag (2 lb); Brand: Hoosier Hill Farm; Review: I have been addicted to dehydrated mallows since I was about 5 years old. When I was 5, I was caught red handed with my hand in the box, eating all the delicious mallows and since then I was banned from my precious Lucky Charms. When I turned 18 and moved out on my own, I bought all the Lucky Charms I wanted and I still ate all the charms. I discovered cereal mallows at the Asheville, North Carolina Farmers Market and it was a dream come true and I wanted more, so I got the bright idea to look here and I could not believe what I had been missing and I have more than made up for my lost years with no mallows in bulk. I have purchased from Hoosier Hill Farms many times and I have never been disappointed and they have always been fresh. If your mallows ever get soft just place in the freezer for one hour and they will return to their crisp, fresh state. I personally love for mine to get a little soft so I can squeeze a handful at a time together and enjoy them like a candy bar. I have found if you place the mallows in one layer on a cookie sheet and place under a ceiling fan for a bit, they get soft enough to squeeze together. I will never ever go to marshmallow rehab, no, no, no!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Grocery_and_Gourmet_Food |

Title: Long Beach Inn; City: Hua Hin Prachuap Khiri Khan Province; Review: As I love the area of Khao Sam Roi Yot, I decided to look for a nice resort where we could stay. Since we have pets, it was important for us to find a pet friendly resort. Well with the help of an excellent internet site we found Long Beach Inn and decided to book for 5 days. We advised the owner that we would require 2 rooms and that we would bring 3 dogs. Everything was okay, so off we went. To my surprise I found out that the resort owner was a fellow country men from Holland which made it even more pleasant for us to book this resort. The rooms were spacious and well furnished. The owner was very cooperative and friendly. The food and service was excellent, and our dogs loved the place!! There was a nice garden and swimming pool, and the nearby beach was heaven for us and our dogs. If you are looking for a friendly place to spend your holiday then this is the place to go. Our dogs behaved very well which led to a well meant much appreciated compliment from the owner. .Needless to say that the other guests had nothing to complain to us about the behavior of our pets as we kept them away from the guests.

Title: Bangsaen Heritage Hotel; City: Chonburi Chonburi Province; Review: With Christmas every year me and a group of 14 other friends stay in a nice hotel. This year we choose the Heritage. We went there some weeks before to discuss our requirements. One of these requirements was that we would get a place where we could play Bridge. (All licences available). When we arrived we were happy with our rooms. A decent price. Also the restaurant seemed okay, however at first we were not allowed inside as they said that another group had to eat first. So where can we eat? Finally after argueing they let us in It became quickly clear that the staff was totally incapable of handling a group of just 16 people. Drinks came late or not at all . Problems with the bill and on top of it all the manager than asked us to pay 10 000 baht for the use of a separate eoom where we played bridge. What a bad management. On departure they even tried to rip off another person of our group in charging 800 baht more for their room as it was supposedly separately booked. ( not true). We being stubborn refused to pay those higher bill of course Never again!; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Leica D-LUX5 10.1 MP Compact Digital Camera with Super-Fast f/2.0 Lens, 3.8x Zoom Lens, 3" LCD Display,; Brand: LEIC9; Review: I bought this camera about 2 months ago... and i'm just lovin it more with time. Great Leica lens with unmatched picture quality from any of it's close competitors (even to quite similar one's like the Panny LX5). The D-Lux 5 comes packed with Manual controls and plenty of pre-configured shooting modes (portraits, babies, landscapes day/night...). I read it somewhere in the reviews that the menu configuration is some how cheap and not up to the level- which I certainly don't agree with for two reasons: 1- it's simple and intuitive and you get used to it in few days of operation. 2- I see it more as a German type oriented software with no complication in design; after all the Leica appears vintage and the menu style should complement the looks. Size and weight are important features of the D-lux 5 to consider, if you're willing to carry it with you on travels. I am not a professional photographer, but I did compare it with my friend's Panny LX5 and to Canon's 550D dSLR. I tried shooting starry sky mode (moon and stars) which I consider challenging because of "low light" situation and the picture exposure and saturation was superior to the shots taken by the other 2 cams. Now, I am quite positive that the Leica lens with the internal processor are far superior together than most, if not any other similar product. And yes it's a bit more pricey but if you can afford it you should get it! On another note,the major downside (in my personal opinion)is that Leica didn't release much gears and accessories for the product although its Panasonic sibling has (i.e. wide angle/macro lenses). These lenses can only maximize the utility and enjoyment of the D-Lux 5. However, you can use the Panny lenses as they fit both cams. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a high-end product characterized with superior picture quality and portability!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nikon Lens Pen Cleaning System; Brand: Nikon; Review: I was only attracted to this lens pen because it's a Nikon product and it had a bunch of good reviews on it. However, when I received the item it was in a used condition (although I paid for a brand new one from "Shopit"). Aside this, the brush works fine, I use it to clean dust particles off the camera and lens. The downside of it, is the tip brush usually aiming at cleaning finger prints and tough marks on your lens glass. When I first received the item I opened the cap where the tip is located. I applied it on my finger and I had a black ink-like circle on it. So I thought I might have a bad copy as it was used. Nonetheless, I checked other reviewers comments and it seems that everyone is facing the same issue. So I preferred not to use it on my lenses as it can damage the expensive glass. Better use a microfiber cloth along with a rocket blower to clean the lens.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: B+W 52mm Grad ND 0.3-2X (501); Brand: B + W; Review: I bought this filter along with my wide angle lens (Nikkor 10-24mm). Important to mention that I own about 10 different B+W filters within my bag; and was disappointed with this one. I can barely see the effect of the graduation in my pictures. Definitely not recommended, and thinking of investing in the Lee rectangular-shaped filters as they are more user-friendly and gives you more freedom to adjust the GD filter according to the scene. I gave it 2 stars, only for the superior quality of B+W products!; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: BlackRapid RMB-1BB Bryce (Black); Brand: BlackRapid; Review: Item is very useful and helps keep you focused on your photography. It can fit my iPhone 5, with a pack of cigarette and my car keys, all without a problem.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nikon MC-36A Multi-Function Remote Shutter Release Cord for D4, D800, D700, D300, Black (VDR00801); Brand: Nikon; Review: Product is as good as you would expect from Nikon, however and for this price it's a shame it doesn't have a dedicated button for on/off. Aside this, it's very easy to use and comes in handy in difficult shooting situations.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Bourtzi Boutique Hotel; City: Skiathos Town Skiathos Sporades; Review: Skiathos is one of the loveliest Greek islands where the abundance of trees meeting stunning beaches gives the island its unique flavor. The town itself is replete with historic Greek village architecture -- a photographer's dream. Newly created pedestrian walkway on Papadiamandi street is home to great cafes, gyro joints, restaurants and at the heart of all this, the Bourtzi hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with an amazing modern feel without sacrificing the feel of the village. We loved its location, amazing public space design, how quiet the rooms and the pool was, the great service by the family that owns the hotel, and the adjoining cafe with its sleek yet subtle feel. Good value since the price includes breakfast as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hanover Inn Dartmouth; City: Hanover New Hampshire; Review: The Hanover Inn could have been ordinary, occupying a coveted spot across from Dartmouth. The renovations completed last year are outstanding. Rooms, lobby and public areas comfortable and upscale. Online photos do not do it justice. The location cannot be beat at the heart of Hanover. Restaurant also high quality. Room came with wine and whoopie pies that were both delicous! Just wish parking were not so expensive. We'll be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Art by the Spanish Steps; City: Rome Lazio; Review: Our family of 4 took 2 rooms this past July at the Art Hotel. We had stayed on Via Margutta before and love the area which only gets better. This hotel is perfect for those looking for a bit of a modern feel in classic Rome. Great breakfast buffet (ask for the egg special on weekends), very comfortable and clean rooms, quiet AC, plush blankets, quiet rooms except for the few loud tourists that should not be allowed to use the courtyard after 9pm as the sounds travel. For that reason I would ask for a room not facing the courtyard next time. Service is acceptable but not warm and fuzzy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Naples Grande Beach Resort; City: Naples Florida; Review: We have been to this hotel before the Waldorf took it over, during Waldorf's management, and just last week after it became independent again. Each time we are always pleased by our experience. The hotel is looking a little dated but not enough to really detract from your stay. They are spending millions on renovating and we saw the new rooms. They are stunning. I only hope the price does not increase to reflect the new enhancements. As it is the beds are amazingly comfortable and the rooms large each with a usable balcony. One of the few hotels that has beach views and only a tram ride away from a beautiful boardwalk area with bathrooms, drinks and food available as well as the usual umbrellas etc. Great staff indoors and outdoors. Pools clean, large and my older teens still love the water slide. Don't miss the delicious breakfast because who wants to go to Starbucks when you have this inside the hotel. Also don't miss the virgin (or not) peach strawberry colada. My kids are already pining for me to try that at home. Parking is easy, location down the street from Waterside Shops is second to none. Then again the hotel shop was the best I've seen in terms of what they offer. We will continue to call this our home away from home. Could: provide free water at the beach; water bottles in the room; a chocolate wouldn't hurt; never found the Keurig pods; longer poolside bar/restaurant hours.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Naples Grande Beach Resort; City: Naples Florida; Review: We have stayed here for many years, before it became a Waldorf and then back to the Naples Grande. The touted renovations in the rooms are nice but there are so many corners skipped that no one would ever guess that the hotel has been renovated within the last year. As frequent customers we were disappointed in the condition of the bathrooms in particular. I am not sure if anything was renovated there and the grouting in the shower looked like it was hacked out by an angry tourist. Hallways are nice. Rooms need more furniture -- a loveseat or comfy chair to sit on. Need makeup mirrors. Prices are too high in cafe area (cheaper to go out for breakfast...). If you do get the breakfast package it is still a nice buffet. Otherwise great access to many pools and nearby beach as well as walking distance to Waterside Shops. They should not charge to self-park $15/night -- ridiculous!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Naples Grande Beach Resort; City: Naples Florida; Review: We have stayed here for many years. Always clean rooms, good internet connections, relatively quiet rooms if you don't have s baby crying next door and great trolley service to beach. Although March is one of the busiest months in Naples the hotel staff always exceeds expectations. Kristo was always helpful and kind, and when the hotel experienced a bit of a flood everyone from managers on down were extremely gracious and made the inconvenience easier to tolerate. There is always room for improvement: some of the free voucher drinks seem like they might have watered down alcohol, towels saving chairs for hours at the pools annoying, hard to find parking after 10pm, ridiculous to charge $18 per day for self parking and far too pricey lobby coffee bar. On the other hand, if you can wait for your coffee they offer delicious free ice coffee in the lobby in the late afternoon. We will always come back but the hotel needs to continue improving yearly.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Union Square New York; City: New York City New York; Review: Wow. What a find! Very centrally located near NYU and Union Square, this incredibly well designed hotel has everything you need and is eye candy. Great service. Superb pricing. And from this former New Yorker one of the best restaurants I’ve eaten at in NYC lately Bowery Road.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Union Square New York; City: New York City New York; Review: We love staying at this hotel not too far from NYU. Hotel is modern and tranquil despite the happening scene in the bar downstairs. We would not stay anywhere else after having been disappointed at the W nearby. Staff attentive and friendly. Rooms small but very well designed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Spigen New Coated 2 Backpack with Water Resistant Coating and 15 inch Laptop Compatibility for All Laptops up to 15; Brand: Spigen; Review: This is a great laptop for general use or for school. It is very functional, but doesn't sacrifice style or comfort. ***Update*** I noticed something a bit troublesome about this bag. Thee is almost no support/padding at the bottom meaning taht if you place your bag down hard/drop it, you laptop will hit the floor. If you have to place your bag on the floor a lot, be weary of this. I had to dock a star for that. The rest of the review stands though. *** I will cover four areas in-depth: 1. Functionality 2. Quality/Durability 3. Aesthetics/Style 4. Cost 1. Functionality- This bag does a good job at keeping all my stuff organized. It has a small pocket on the outside with a velour lining to keep you tablet free of scratches. Of course, it can house anything you want. The next pocket has smaller pockets inside of it and can house all your stationary or other supplies. It has one pocket, secured shut with Velcro, against the outside flap, with a pocket divided into two against it, and a netted area beside that. You can then place any other books or larger objects in this flap. The larger pocket has an area designed to fit a Laptop. This bag is advertised to fit a 15" laptop. It doesn't mention thickness, but the pocket is large enough top fit most laptops, even gaming ones. This pocket is lined with the same velour as the tablet pocket. There is s smaller pocket against the laptop area where one can house the charging cables or anything like that. This area also contains a large zippered area, and a little flap hanging off to place anything in. This is also the largest pocket of the bag and so should be the place where you put your books, binder, etc. The bag also features a headphone holders on the shoulder straps and zippered side pockets. 2, Quality/Durability- This bag is of very high quality. I have the coated bag and it is still in great condition a couple of weeks after use. Based on my past experience with bags with this same material, this coating may or may not wear off or tear. I will be sure to update this review after having used this bag more. This seems like a very premium bag with not a very big price(covered more later) The velour lining is a nice touch and adds to the feel of the bag. The shoulder straps and back have padding which makes the bag feel very comfortable. Some bags have much style, yet are very uncomfortable to use. Again, when I have some more time to review this bag and can further attest to this bags quality or lack thereof, I will update this. 3. Aesthetics/Style- When perusing through the many bags on Amazon might find yourself in a predicament. You might have to choose between style and function. Luckily, this isn't the case. This bag offers a lot of functionality, but is doesn't sacrifice the aesthetics. The coated material; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cable Matters Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable (Mini DP to DP) in White 6 Feet - Thunderbolt; Brand: Cable Matters; Review: Not really. It work perfectly with my Macbook Air 13" and my Asus PQ278Q. I was not able to test the 4k because the monitor only goes up to 1440p. However, it works perfectly at that resolution and I noticed no distortion, artifacts, or any other anomalies. Although why would I, most cables are do the same. This particular cable was at a good price and looks nice to boot.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cable Matters (Combo Pack) 200 Self-Locking 6+8+12-Inch Nylon Cable Ties (Tie Wraps/Zip Ties) in Black & White; Brand: Cable Matters; Review: I bought some really cheap cable ties at the 99 cent store and they were horrible. Out of every ten, probably 3 or 4 worked. They were also very slim. These are much better quality. The plastic used is much thicker which means it will actually "zip". Also, it wasn't too expensive. The variety of lengths makes it useful for different tasks. If you found this review in any way insightful or helpful, please click the "Yes" button where it asks you to do so.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Anker Unibody USB 3.0 7-Port Aluminum Hub with Built-in 1.3ft USB 3.0 Cable and Included 5V; Brand: Anker; Review: I use this with my Macbook Air 13" and it works quite well. It matches the build quality of Apple products, while still maintaining a competitive price. If you need extra ports, you can step up to the 10 port one also by Anker, but it'll cost you. I use my Keyboard, mouse, ethernet adapter, and a USB cable with this. I don't see when I'll ever use all 7, but the option is there. Its USB 3.0 which means it will be speedy enough for most needs. If you have a newer device with USB type C or similar, make sure you have an adaptor or an open USB 3.0 port.

Title: UL Listed Pwr Extra Long 12 Ft 2 Prong Polarized-Power-Cord for Vizio-LED-TV Smart-HDTV E-M-Series and Others 2 Slot; Brand: PWR+; Review: Nothing much to discuss. It was inexpensive, the length I needed, and it worked. Find the cheapest cable with the best reviews and pick it. This one fit the bill.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NVIDIA SHIELD Remote; Brand: NVIDIA; Review: Its a really nice remote. Its much more convenient to use than the bulky controller that the shield comes with, at last for browsing the menus and watching "TV". Obviously, if you need to play games or use buttons other than home, back, directional, or enter, you use the controller. The price is a tad high, but then again the remote has a premium feel and the convenience outweighs the price, at least for me. Look out for the bundles that offer it at little to no extra cost with the Shield.

Title: HDMI Cable 15 FT - Braided Cord - 4K HDMI 2.0 Ready - High Speed - Gold Plated Connectors; Brand: SecurOMax; Review: This isn't the kind of cable you find at BestBuy or similar store. It's not terribly expensive (especially for the length), it has some good weight to it, and it looks really nice. The weight and stiffness may be a con because it could be difficult to route/manage. Otherwise, definitely worth getting over the plain HDMI cables. On a side note, I used this with a Vizio M55 C2 hooked up to a Onkyo NR636 receiver. 4K worked beautifully.

Title: Isla Paraiso; City: Arenal d en Castell Menorca Balearic Islands; Review: Just got back from Isla Paraiso yesterday - spent a week with our 2 year old daughter, plus my parents. We booked it basically off the back of previous reviews on here - worrying that it all sounded too good to be true for the money - but it really did live up to expectations. The appartments were great - standard sort of decor for med resort hotels, but kept scrupulously clean and well kitted out for looking after a toddler for the week. Sea view was lovely. The pool area is great, plenty of sun-loungers (no-one playing annoying games of shoving their towels out at dawn!) - and the pools were great. The little one was perfect for small children, as was the bigger one, as it gently slopes down from one end. They were a bit chilly the first couple of days as it had been a bit overcast, but they were nicely warmed up by the end of the week. We stayed half board and the food was very good value. Obviously don't go expecting michelin standard menus, but for hotel buffet food it was towards the higher end of the quality scale. All very fresh, plentiful, and lots of fresh fruit and toddler friendly things. The staff were friendly, and made a huge effort to be helpful - particulalry with small children. There was evening entertainment laid on every night in the bar, and while we didn't make it through to the later/adult entertainment, as our little one was flagging by then (it looked pretty cheesy, but probably fun enough) the mini-disco for the kids held at 8.30 every night went down very well! The resort is lovely - pretty quiet while we were there but that suited us fine. Not too over-developed, just a few restaurants and bars, most with stunning views out over the bay. We would particularly recomment Sa Gavina restaurant, we went there for my Mother's birthday (having pre-warned them) and they made a proper fuss of us - cake with candels etc. The beach at Arenal is beautiful - really soft clean sand, and the being in a nutural harbour the sea was very calm. We also drove to some of the beaches on the south coast (Son Bou etc.) and all very of the very highest standard - clean a beautiful. Overall very impressed with the hotel, the resort and Menorca in general - it was just as advertised to us, quiet, beautiful and friendly. Perfect for young families and anyone wanting a Med holiday but without the worst excesses of some of the more developed resorts and islands.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blue Sea Club Martha s; City: Cala d Or Majorca Balearic Islands; Review: Just stayed at Club Marthas for 10 days with my husband, 3 yr old, and my parents - had a great time! We had a 1 bed apartment which felt very spacious and was very comfortable and clean. Massive balcony with sun loungers, very effective air-con. The overall complex was very nicely kept, lovely gardens, several large pools, with lots of shallow areas for small children, and all very well maintained and clean. We were half board and the hotel buffet was pretty good - probably not dissimilar to lots of other hotel buffets, but always very fresh and a wide selection to choose from. Staff were all very pleasant and helpful - I emailed ahead to explain we were travelling as a group and had a small child with us, and they gave us 2 rooms together in the quieter block above reception - away from the main enetertainment area. Much appreciated! Kids enetertainment and activities were also very good - our 3 year old ADORED the Molly disco in the evenings! The entertainment team were great, they worked really hard every day and were great with the kids. Adult/older kid activties were also excellent for the money - rock climbing wall/zip-wire, archery, scuba try outs, volleyball etc. Resort of Cala Egos was very pleasant and very clean - nothing major going on, just a few shops, restaurants and bars...but no drunks staggering around causing trouble either! (That we saw - having a 3 yr old with us we weren't exactly out partying every night!) Just fine for familes. As mentionned by other reviewers the only thing that lets it down at times is the 'paid-for extras'. Having read reviews here we were expecting this and, therefore,were not caught unawares, but it was more than a little bizarre at times - no soap in the bathroom, no tv service (in a 4 star hotel??!), no free wi-fi in the public areas...and yet free rock climbing, free scuba sessions etc! Very, very strange combination indeed... But overall this hotel is very good value for money I wholly recommend it for anyone with young children and would definitely stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: GF Isabel; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: We spent 10 days here end of June/early July with our 4 year old and my parents and we had a thoroughly great time. The hotel is lovely - clean and friendly, spacious rooms and a lovely overall design with the little streets and cottage style properties. Yes - the inside décor of the rooms may not be cutting edge design but they are bright and comfortable with plenty of space. The staff was always very friendly and helpful. A problem with a light fitting in our room was dealt with immediately, and the restaurant and bar staff were always as friendly and as helpful as can be. We stayed half board and the breakfast and dinner buffets were always very good. A HUGE selection every night, lots of freshly cooked dishes, with an excellent choice of fresh salads and fresh fruit available. And an ice cream bar at dinner - our 4 year old LOVED this! Pool area is very pleasant, and very clean - the pool must be heated as it was always a lovely temperature. Loads of sun loungers and shades available. The Children's pool with climbing frame was particularly good for little ones. The entertainment team/kids club seemed very good - ours was a bit to young to go off and do much, but the mini disco every night in the bar area was great fun. Overall it was a great stay - exactly what I would look for in a 4 star hotel - and we will very likely go to this hotel again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: GF Isabel; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: Just got back from our second stay at Hotel Isabel, and were really pleased we chose to return to this lovely hotel. The hotel has a lovely design, with well sized family 'apartment' rooms - the food is excellent, the hotel is spotlessly clean, and the staff were EXCELLENT. We travelled with our 5 year old daughter and they could not have been more friendly and helpful. In a great location, 5 mins from Fanabe beach and with plenty of shops and restaurants a short walk away. This hotel is great value for a family beach/pool getaway - will no doubt be returning again in the future!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: GF Isabel; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: This was our 3rd visit to Hotel Isabel with our daughter (now 6), and this time with my parent also. We had another excellent stay - I really can't think of a better value hotel for families, and we will definitely visit again. Large and comfortable room - with a great view over the sea from the 4th floor! Excellent and well maintained facilities - especially the pools. Great food with loads of variety, and excellent, professional and welcoming staff. Always a pleasure!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Header; Author: Visit Amazon's Edward Lee Page; Review: Header is a short, fun, disgusting and hilarious blast of splattery goodness. This is for those with a sense of humor. I laughed pretty consistently throughout the whole thing. This is also, and especially, for those horror fans who may be looking to expand their horizons and delve a little deeper into the less common products. This is a gateway drug to so much more. No need to recap the plot, you can read that above. Just know that if you are a fan of horror/gore/sex/redneck/crime/cop stories then you should give this a go. No joke, 100 pages and you get all that in a tightly written, fast paced, and ultimately satisfying and hugely entertaining story. Try it, you'll like it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Video Night: A Novel of Alien Horror; Author: Visit Amazon's Adam Cesare Page; Review: I recommend this to just about anyone. It's a fun, entertaining read. I recommend it even more strongly to anyone who grew up in the heyday of video stores and VHS. Cesare's a good, efficient storyteller. It's a horror book but has plenty of humor and isn't too gory, in case that isn't really your thing. I say give it a shot. You'll probably dig it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Resurrectionist; Author: Visit Amazon's Wrath James White Page; Review: Wrath James White is known for being an "extreme" horror writer. I was going to say that this one is fairly tame in comparison to some of his other stuff, but there are a few scenes that make a pretty strong argument against that statement. I think I only feel that way because the central characters are so well developed and real feeling. This book is one of my favorites and I highly recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Apeshit; Author: Carlton III Mellick; Review: Good stuff. Funny, gross, deranged. A quick dose of perverse sadistic glee. Wear it out, kids. You'll be better for it. Booyah!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Brothers Crunk; Author: William III Pauley; Review: This is a very short and very fast paced book. I felt that it was maybe a little too fast paced, at the expense of story or character development. Incredibly imaginative, though.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Patshull Park Hotel Golf Country Club; City: Pattingham Staffordshire England; Review: Stayed and played at Patshull Park over three days in June 2012. The hotel part of the complex was of a good standard. The bedroom was clean with tea and coffee making facilities. Free Wi-fi, TV with access to sky.Meals were good at breakfast and again in the evening with multiple choise of food on the menu. Staff waiting on were friendly except that one member on the second evening was quite unfriendly bordering on being rude to other persons sitting close by.However other staff went out of their way to provide a good service. Bar areas provided hot food in the daytime along with a full selection of drinks these however were more expensive than other hotels i have stayed at. The golf course was in tip top condition providing a stiff test to even the lower handicapper in our party. Greens were in superb condition and well looked after by green staff. The only low point was the deluge we experienced on the last day which spoilt a great three days(2 nights at this venue). Not the hotels fault may I point out!!!!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grupotel Playa Camp de Mar; City: Camp De Mar Majorca Balearic Islands; Review: Stayed at the Playa Camp de Mar during June 2013. This Hotel is in the Grupotel chain but is also part of the Thomson Gold Hotels. The Hotel is very nice and the management and staff go out of their way to make your stay a memorable one. However I found the hotel to be on the large size with some 500 people staying there which left the pool area overcrowded at times. Compare this to Thomson's Hotel Falesia on the Algarve where I stayed last year which was smaller and had more room per person around the hotel and pool area. Much more personal and pleasant. However the upside to the hotel are that rooms are spacious and the bathrooms have a his and her wash basins. They also have British TV (Sky Sports in rooms and the bar) The rooms are also spotlessly clean. Meal times provide a wide range of choices but on the odd occasion the food was slightly bland. Entertainment was my only issue due to the Hotel being unable to have live entertainment after 11pm. This is because some local resident apparently complained and after winning over the local authorities got all entertainment shut down at 11.15pm. Then following staff putting tables and chairs away by 11.30pm "it's lights out" on the balconies although you can still sit there in semi darkness if you want. Thomson's do not mention this in their brochure and this why I have marked down the rating. What annoyed me is that other hotels in the area and the golf club across the road carry on playing live music. The entertainment team try their best but I believe they need a couple of extra staff due to number of guests staying there especially around the poolside in the day. The resort is also very quiet with not much to see or do but the views are magnificent.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Crossroads Inn; City: Halifax West Yorkshire England; Review: Stayed at the Crossroads last weekend (19/10/13) whilst attending a function in the Halifax area that night We had a really warm welcome from the proprietors who made us feel at home from the minute we walked in. Food was excellent especially the full English next morning. Rooms surprisingly spacious with on suite bathroom/shower. Good value for money looking to return to do a bit of walking on those magnificent moors on which this property stands. Give it a try. Beats the hell out of those City hotels.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seasons of Perth; City: Perth Greater Perth Western Australia; Review: Stayed at this hotel prior to a cruise. Centrally located close to the shopping malls which contain all the leading shops. The hotel is mid range it has a restaurant and a bar attached which can be used by the passing public. The room was spacious but had no view whatsoever. The decor could have done with a lick of paint and in my opinion looked a bit dated. However the bed was comfortable and the hotel served its purpose as a base pre cruise. The cost of our stay was a fair price to pay for what was provided.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Oniro The Dream Studios; City: Tsilivi Zakynthos Ionian Islands; Review: Stayed at The Dream Studios from 17-27th June 2015. This was our first visit but on arrival we were greeted by Nikos at the front gate like he had known us for years. You soon find that other guests are on return visits because they love the place and the Family that own and run it. First impression count a lot and within 24 hours I knew that sometime in the future we will return. The family Papa, Mama , Nikos and Costas go out of their way to make sure your holiday runs smoothly. The complex is spotless the rooms are comfortableand food cooked at the bar is good and cheap. There are a few restaurants close by where again the prices are low. The nearest town is Tsilivi about 2 km distance but there is a local bus service costing 1.60 euros or you can walk there in around half an hour. We booked through travel Republic and a room worked out at around £23.50 per day on top of that we had extras to pay for air con at 45 euro per week and safe key around 15 euro. If you book direct with the family via the web site the room costs 30 euro a day around £23 but air con and safe key are included in that price. I highly recommend this holiday it's not simple Greece but it not extortionate either. Great value for money.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Leeds City Centre; City: Leeds West Yorkshire England; Review: Stayed for one night in November 2016. Good location for city centre. A few good bars and restaurants within 20 yards serving good food and drink. The hotel was very clean, its interior and bedrooms having a modern feel to them. Our only downside was the room that we had allocated was that it overlooked Leeds Railway Station and despite the good quality glazing we could hear the trains rumbling by from an early hour. When booking it might be worth asking for a room overlooking the waterfront. All in all though a really nice hotel and we would use it again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gili Air Lagoon Resort; City: Gili Air Gili Islands Lombok West Nusa Tenggara; Review: We stayed at the Lagoon Resort for 4 nights in January 2018 which had been chosen by our son and his bride to be as their wedding venue. The facilities are first class with all accommodation situated around a circular pool. The chalets are comfortable with an en suite shower/ toilet off the sleeping area. Each unit has a safe with sun loungers within the water outside on a patio. Apart from the wedding day we had a bed and breakfast tariff, the food being a mixture of assorted egg dishes or spicy noodles along with bread for toast and fruits. It’s location is a short walk from the part of the beach where the fast boats drop off their passengers. Just one downside point you will have to walk past where all the horse and trap workers await fares. The smell is very pungent be warned. The wedding day itself was brilliant and I can only say the staff went to the endth degree to make it a success. Everyone has different ideas for their ideal wedding so just tell the staff and they will make it happen. Recommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Springfield Hotel Health Club; City: Pentre Halkyn Holywell Flintshire North Wales Wales; Review: We used the Springfield Hotel for my wife’s 60th birthday celebrations. Facilities at the hotel have been upgraded in the last year or two with an outside decked area, sun canopies and heaters, so you can sit outside in all weathers with fabulous views, a refurbished reception area and an upgraded bar section. The rooms are also getting updated which makes a really nice venue for such an occasion. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful particularly Paul the manager and Simon head of catering who both went out of their way to ensure the evening was a success. The function room which can hold a few hundred people was ideal for our 90 guests. A dance floor which accommodated all those dancing to Tamla Motown hits and a stage for the DJ to play all those hits of yesteryear. This room also has its own bar area which keeps everything private for functions. We decided on a buffet for the guests and we weren’t disappointed as the food was superb and plentiful with only a few morsels left over at the end. A comfortable room signed off a very successful night. Since the party I have heard nothing but good feedback about the whole night. Thank you Springfield Hotel for a memorable night.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Hotel Murtenhof Krone; City: Murten Canton of Fribourg; Review: This town was one of the most delightful places we visited in Switzerland. It was so charming. The hotel was great....just had very small rooms. The family that runs the hotel was very kind and helpful. We had dinner the night that we were there in the restaurant...it was a good meal but not outstanding. The staff was very kind and helpful.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Silberhorn; City: Lauterbrunnen Jungfrau Region Bernese Oberland Canton of Bern; Review: We stayed in this hotel 2 weeks ago in July for two nights. It was a dream! We LOVED our corner third balcony room and had a 2 bedroom suite with a cozy bedroom in the back of the suite. The staff was helpful and informative. We made a great choice in this hotel...the location was perfect for catching the train up to Wengen and grabbing a bite to eat in town.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Four Points by Sheraton Sihlcity Zurich; City: Zurich; Review: Hotels in Switzerland can be pricey. We stayed here for one night in July and it was very convenient and clean. The Zurich bus service goes right beside this modern hotel and we were very pleased with this choice. The walk to the center of town was not long knowing we had the bus service to help us. There is a mall nearby for services that you might need.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: CASCADA Boutique Hotel; City: Lucerne; Review: This hotel was one of the best places we stayed on our 10 day stay in Switzerland. Daniela was at the front desk and was a tremendous help. She was exceptional! She went out of her way to help all guests that were there. She advised us as to what to see the afternoon we arrived and when to try and see Mt. Pilatus. Her advice helped us better manage our time in Luzern. The hotel had a parking lot for our rented car and the distance from the center of town was not a long or tiring walk. I would highly recommend this hotel in Luzern.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Princeville Resort; City: Princeville Kauai Hawaii; Review: My husband and I just celebrated our 41 wedding anniversary with 3 days at the St. Regis, Princeville. It was such an incredible time! Let me first say that this hotel is set on the most beautiful piece of property overlooking Hanalei Bay. You will MARVEL at the beauty all around you....our room was an ocean-view on the 4th floor and looking out of it each day was like looking at a postcard. Everyone that helped us was aware of our anniversary and was quick to congratulate us and make us feel helped and special. I cannot for the life of me understand how this gorgeous property could get anything but a 5 star rating! We enjoyed a couples massage at their spa and the use of these facilities and they were outstanding. The meal we enjoyed at the Makena Grill was delicious. The Makena roll and fresh fish we were served were some of the best we have tasted. Phylo greeted us warmly on arrival and took us to our room and made us feel at home. The pool staff is there to grant every need and wish while you cool off in the pool or snorkel in the bay. My husband enjoyed 18 holes of golf on the well-groomed Makea golf course. It was a visit we will long remember!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: La Musardiere; City: Giverny Eure Haute Normandie Normandy; Review: This was a nice clean hotel, but very tired. There are nt too many places to stay in Giverny and I realize that but this spot seemed old and tired. Our room was clean but on the 2cnd floor....no elevator....and getting our bags up those stairs was a job! There was no offer or help to get the bags to our rooms.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel de Lutece; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: This was our second trip to Paris. Last time we stayed near The eiffel tower last time and wanted a place more centrally located this time. Hotel Lutece as perfect! We had to pay a little more for location but felt it was worth the money. We did not take the metro the entire Paris visit.....and it was nice to walk through the Marais for the first time. We were on the 5th floor....and were afraid that the outside construction would be too noisy but it was not. The room is small but you have to consider where you are and the 12 foot ceilings give it a roomy feel. Large bath for such a small room. You could pay extra for a continental breakfast but we didn't since there is a delicious boulangerie next door.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: L Absinthe Hotel; City: Honfleur Calvados Basse Normandie Normandy; Review: This is a wonderful place to spend a night. The hotel has a great location. It is an older hotel that has been spiffed up and made to look a lot newer than it is.....the charm is nice and the baths are a good size. The room was small but for one night it was fine. We loved being in the center of the town. It is a charming town to walk through and see the harbor and boats. The downtown area has a lot to see including the church.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Star; City: Milan Lombardy; Review: We just returned from a trip to Milan on the tail end of another one. We booked this hotel on Rick Steve's recommendation and were so glad we did. It is very clean, in the best location ever for walkers like us to be near the Duomo and Vittorio Emanuelle shopping. The breakfast each morning was wonderful.....great choices, warm eggs, great pastries. Vittorio at the desk was such help....a real asset to our stay. It is in a small alley a couple of blocks from the duomo square so its location can not be beat. Its close enough to enough activities that you can stop by mid-afternoon, get refreshed and strike out again. Its also near a really neat are called Brera. This neighborhood has beautiful shops, great shopping and a street market on Tuesday. Give this hotel a chance if you need a wonderful clean hotel with a great location in Milan.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Le Jas de Gordes; City: Gordes Luberon Vaucluse Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: Cannot say enough wonderful things about this lovely property. The hotel bent over backwards to make us feel at home. The setting is LOVELY-we enjoyed sitting out in the gardens in the afternoons by the fountain just catching our breath. The breakfast every morning was delicious as well as so peaceful in that setting. These kind people even washed our clothes for us one night. We felt like we were home. It is on the road into Gordes and a very easy pleasant walk into Gordes. In my opinion you would want to be out of the town to avoid the parking hassle and crowds. We could not have been more pleased with a place to stay!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Moen DN8001CH Home Care Pause Control Hand Held Shower,Moen,DN8001CH" />; Brand: Moen; Review: Bought this for my wife. Replaced another that did not have the pause control. Now it is easier to soak, pause, soap down, then rinse. Saves a lot of hot water too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ikea 201.696.58 Jansjo Desk Work LED Lamp Light, 24", Black; Brand: IKEA; Review: The design of this lamp is ideal fro using with my laptop. It is sturdily built and has a very nice light intensity. Easily adjustable goose neck. Weighted base makes it very stable. The only problem I had was an intermittent power switch. Lamp would often go dim then off. Finally pried apart switch and found what I think was a loose piece of plastic. Reassembled it and now it works great. I'm a retired industrial electrician and know how to cope with electrical switches. Don't try this yourself.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
