Title: Sony BRAVIA BX 300 Series 32-Inch LCD TV, Black (2010 Model); Brand: Sony; Review: I tested this TV at an in-store display to determine if it suffers a similar ghosting problem I have with another Sony TV - KDL-26L5000. Sadly it does. I tested with a few pre-recorded scenes known to illustrate the problem on the KDL-26L5000. The odd ghosting problem is not the typical motion blur noticeable on fast moving objects. This ghosting manifests as a streaking or shadow movement. Most often it seems to affect facial features such as lips and around the eyes which seem to float off people's faces as they move from side to side. The effect is dependent on the scene being viewed - lighting, motion etc - typically occurring in dark scenes or scenes with areas of highly contrasting light and dark areas. Happily the KDL-32EX400 does not suffer from this problem. If you consider yourself a critical TV viewer, consider spending a little more to avoid this sort of annoying problem. For casual viewing this is probably not an issue.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Kingwin Aluminum Single Bay Hot Swap Mobile Rack For 3.5” SSD/HDD, Internal SATA Hard Drive Backplane Enclosure; Brand: Kingwin; Review: Drive bay works great but the mount brackets are a bit flimsy. I do believe it will be fine, however. Time will tell how many insertions the SATA connector will tolerate. The blue LED power/disk inserted indicator is very bright. I suppose this is not a big problem but after a while I found it annoying so I tamed it by clipping the wire to it and inserting a 68k resistor.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Think Tank Photo Speed Racer V2.0 Shoulder Camera Bag (Black/Gray); Brand: Think Tank; Review: This is not a bad camera bag, in fact it is quite well made. But I found it difficult to configure the dividers to fit my lenses and, for the cost, I expected better.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: APC Smart-UPS 1000VA UPS Battery Backup with Pure Sine Wave Output (SMT1000); Brand: APC; Review: The UPS is solid and seems to work fine. But the computer interface has changed and no longer works with the software I have been using for many years with older APC models. Apparently APC refuses to provide technical details to the open-source software community. If the software APC provides was as configurable and usable, it would not be so bad. Shame on APC for not supporting a large number of users who rely on their hardware but prefer or need to control it with software written by others.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: IO Crest 2.5-Inch IDE/SATA HDD Storage Box SY-ACC25010 (Red); Brand: IO Crest; Review: These cases provide protection for the bare hard drives I use for my off-site backups. Only caveat is to take care with the tab that latches the lid closed. It seems rather stiff and could possibly break off. So I operate it slowly and so far no problems.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Insten SATA HDD Hard Drive Storage Case, 3.5 INCH, Clear; Brand: INSTEN; Review: These cases provide protection for the bare hard drives I use for my off-site backups.

Title: StarTech.com USB 3.0 eSATA Hard Drive Enclosure w/ UASP - Trayless 3.5 inches SATA III HDD Enclosure; Brand: StarTech; Review: It's very easy to insert and remove hard drives. I've used it with 2TB and 4TB drives with my Red Hat Linux server and a Ready NAS Ultra, which is running a variant of Unix. It serves as an external, removable destination for my off-site backups.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crucial 2GB Single DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300) CL5 SODIMM 200-Pin Notebook Memory Module CT25664AC667; Brand: Crucial; Review: This memory module works in my 7,1 (mid-2007) model iMac. I was not very difficult to install, but I did need to consult a "how-to" video to figure out how to eject the existing module.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Garmin Nuvi 760 Battery - Replacement for Garmin 361-00019-11 GPS Battery (1300mAh, 3.7V, Lithium Polymer); Brand: UpStart Battery; Review: Installing this new battery has rejuvenated my nuvi! Luckily I had the necessary tools and some double-sided tape to do the job. A little research helped. Hoping this battery lasts several years.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: GameSalad Beginners Guide; Author: Visit Amazon's Miguel DeQuadros Page; Review: Well First I must say that I am still creating the first game tutorial in the book. Yes, I am not that far into it but I already feel frustrated and feel I have experienced it enough to write a review. I hope Mr. Dequadros reads these reviews and updates his book or at least writes a sequel to do the job that should have been done. First Let's talk about the books that are available for gamesalad as a whole. There are VERY few. There is this one and the iOS one which I also own and that's it aside from the cookbook that is available on the site. The iOS book is better but not perfect. The problem with these books as a whole is that they teach you VERY VERY VERY simple games. Yes its for beginners but they needs to teach you to advance your games. Teach you how to do bigger concepts. Why not something complex at the end of the book? After all you shouldnt be a beginner at the end of the book!!! The official cookbook is very vague and to me reads more like a dictionary than it does a guide. I hope the future release of the official guide coming mid next year will be worth the wait. PLEASE NO SIMPLE TUTORIALS though out the whole book! And please have A LOT of game tutorial and include proper project files!! Ok back to this one... Take the first game tutorial for instance. After you are first taught to create a platform for your character he tells you to experiment and make sticky surfaces. Um What? How? He NEVER talked about how to do this or how the other options affected anything. Common sense would lead me to believe you would increase the friction but that's a guess on what he may have expected me to do. Why not lead us in the right direction at first, then include an answer to key? A few more pages in he says OK now experiment and create moving platform. Um What? I have no freaking clue how to make a platform move, rotate or do ANYTHING other than have it sit their for the the character to walk on. Yes, there are mistakes in the book. Its like he forgot to include all the steps for creating something. I was creating a torch and I had trouble figuring out how to make it yellow until I realized which color box to click to change its color. There are 3 separate ones and this one wasn't completely obvious. The project files? Are just his completed levels and a copy of his story board. I understand he probably wants us to create our own to learn and that fine, but on the really simple stuff and when I am proficient in photoshop and draw/painting it would be nice to just have a quick go to for learning game salad. I think you can just drag the actor to the desktop to get the art but I would have; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Official GameSalad Guide to Game Development (Explore Our New Media Arts & Design 1st Eds.); Author: GameSalad; Review: I kinda feel like I just got ripped off. Now first of all I want to say I am not familiar with Ms. Novaks previous game design books and I don't know if this falls inline with the same design that they are modeled after. But I was hoping for a book to teach me game salad. Something project based. One thing I think is funny is that the book has a spot where it calls Killzone out for using CG in their gameplay trailers to trick gamers into thinking its better. I think this book does the same thing. It's called the "The Official GameSalad Guide to Game Development." I read that and I think ok cool I am going to learn how to make games. Wrong. You are going to learn concepts and if you're lucky she will tell you how to use them "briefly", but only as a "concept" in your games through very very short tutorials. This doesn't happen much either. Then comes the cover of the book. I see would could be life bars, distance measurement, some on screen buttons, and other stuff that made me pretty excited to learn how to do. Nope. Unfortunately this is a game developed by someone else that she just happens to mention in the book. I think this is the equivalent to what Killzone does to trick their viewers. Well there is another book coming out in June. If you're looking for a book to teach you gamesald maybe you should wait for that one in hopes that it actually teaches you the program... I am. Why isn't there a decent book on GameSalad??? This isn't the worst one, but it doesn't teach you the program as the others try too. Sound weird? Well if you read the "GameSalad Beginner's Guide" you would know what I am talking about. That book is really bad. The best one is "Learn GameSalad for iOS". Although not a perfect book either its far more helpful than this book. This book falls some where in between... Actually after writing the review I kinda feel genuinely angry that I just paid $40 for this. It may come slightly useful but this isn't the book to teach you the program. For now go with, "Learn GameSalad for iOS".; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Steel Maiden (Divided Realms) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Kim Richardson Page; Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline and characters though I wish there was a bit more depth and view from other characters.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: FOREX TRADING: The Basics Explained in Simple Terms (Forex, Forex for Beginners, Make Money Online, Currency Trading, Foreign; Author: Visit Amazon's Jim Brown Page; Review: Great book and a promising strategy! Jim is also a very nice man that promptly replies to your emails and questions. He even checked in on me and my problem after not hearing from me for an extended period of time. I have not used used the strategy yet, but it seems promising and I can't wait to backtest it and possibly even go live with it. Great bonuses with the purchases as well!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Funko POP Movies: Suicide Squad Action Figure, El Diablo; Brand: FunKo; Review: So cute! The pop figure itself came in perfect condition, the box, however, did not. The left bottom corner of the box looked like it was a little crushed. I would include pictures but unfortunately I have no idea how, there's no button to do so. Anyway, luckily for me I don't really care about the boxes so that didn't really bother me. If anything I'd just use the box for storage so it wasn't a huge deal. Besides all that, I would recommend!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Francisco Bay Inn; City: San Francisco California; Review: This is for all the negative posters most of which I see are from out of the country. First off, do your HOMEWORK! Wow! Can't believe the other reviews. We travel to the city a lot and generally stay here. (about 20 times). Let's put some stuff in perspective: 1) It's a motor inn. Rooms are a little small but bathroom is huge. Always been clean. Has great AC/fan unit. Beds are comfy. Parking can be a pain. 2) If you choose to stay on Lombard, you can expect some noise. Best rooms are in the back off the alley off of Frankllin. 3) Absolutely great location. Next to two major bus lines. We park our car and never touch it again. Walking distance to the Wharf (if that's your thing), Marina district (great restaurants) & Union Street. We've walked the streets at all hours (NYE almost every year) and have never felt threatened. Hookers/drug dealers????? Never seen one. 4) Staff has always been more than accomodating. Other poster said they didn't want their room cleaned every day. We always tell them when we stay we don't want it cleaned either. Never had a problem, 5) Prices are very reasonable and includes free parking and they have a great cancellation policy and if they drop their rates they'll accomodate the new rate if asked. Come on people, this isn't the Ritz but it's clean and in a good location. And the Voodoo lounge accoss the street is kinda of a dive bar but the bartenders are great and so is the clientele. There's a little grocery/deli/liquor store accross Franklin for incidentals. If you want large, quiet rooms w/ tons of ambiance, go pay $200-300 plus parking at the Hyatt or Marriott. Me, I don't spend enough time in the room to warrant that for a 3-5 night stay. I'll continue to stay here for my casual trips.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Rio Sands Hotel; City: Aptos California; Review: Hubbie and I have been coming here for 10+ years a couple times a year. Wouldn't stay anywhere else. Hubbie used to take his kids here 30+ years ago do we know the place well. They're in the middle of another remodel. Updating to look more like their sister hotel in Morro Bay. We stayed in the rooms over the breakfast area with a patio. Huge room with Temperpedic beds/microwave/fridge. Paid $69 per night which is usually what we get it for before Memorial Day. I'm bummed that the price will probably go up with the remodel. You can pay upwards of $179 in season! We usually stay on the second floor rooms that overlook the pool/BBQ area. Has 2 separate rooms and they have updated all those rooms to include a stove now too so you get a small full kitchen, living area and separate bedroom. GREAT deal! Bottom floor has bigger suites and is used a lot for families with kids. Has a remodeled pool area with a good sized spa. Used to have an adults only spa but because of leakage problems they removed it over a year ago. Has a nice, big BBQ area if you want to so indulge. They'll even sell you briquets if you forgot yours. Front desk help is always nice and accomodating. Can be noisy during the day but after 10pm it quiets down quite nice. As their website advertises, it is literally 100 steps from a great beach/state park. We always take a couple walks a day. Have a very nice continental breakfast that includes: hard boiled eggs, waffles, breads, muffins, cereal, milk, OJ, fruit, coffee, etc. inlcuded in the price. The Rio restaurant is finally going to open again. I'm so stoked because it's a 2 block walk so you can go have dinner/drinks and not have to worry about driving. Just hope the food is good again! LOVE this place!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Carmel Mission Inn Fuse Lounge Cafe; City: Carmel Monterey County California; Review: Looks like this used to some kind of chain hotel and they spruced it up with new decor. Our stay started out OK with getting an upgraded room and a couple of free drinks at the bar because it was my birthday. King room was roomy and clean with a patio. Flat screen TV but didn't come in very well. Two issues though. We used the hot tub/pool. The next morning I noticed my swimsuit was a totally different color and so was hubbys. WAY to much chorine in the water. Notified the manager in the morning and he said he was surprised because the system was all automated. Well, if no one is using the tub you can't keep dumping chemicals in without checking it. My suit cost $70 and no kind of offer was made for reimbursement or anything. Also, when we tried to use the 2 free drink tix at 9:01 in the evening, the bartender said she didn't have a bank anymore and couldn't give us any drinks. The darn drinks were supposed to be free! How hard would it have been to open a couple bottles of beer? We stayed at this location because it is within walking distance to Mission Ranch which has a cool piano bar and we didn't want to drink and drive. If some kind of effort would have been made for our ruined suits/unused drink tickets (even a free breakfast would have been fine) I would have given more stars. Paid $109 per night which isn't exactly cheap considering you're not officially in Carmel but in Carmel Valley.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Flamingo Conference Resort Spa; City: Santa Rosa Sonoma County California; Review: OK - I have a LOT of history with this place. Had my prom here in 1974. It has gone through a remodel since then but it's still kinda kitchy. The layout is very nice and centers on a beautiful pool area. The nice thing about the pool is there is lots of grassy areas and covered open sided cabanas and lots of trees if you choose to be out of the sun. Also have a nice hot tub area. Both are open until 11pm. which is great. We always reserve the exec patio room suite. Has a private patio area that leads right to the pool. Huge room and comfortable bed. Come here for the Sonoma County Fair every year and it's within walking distance. Close to downtown and a large shopping center a couple blocks away. Paid a pretty penny for the room because of the fair but you can find good deals at other times Had a complimentary wine/cheese tasting on Friday and music out by the pool for a couple hours on Thurs, Fri & Sat. Has poolside service for drinks and food. Has a full service spa attached that also has a lap pool which is also open to hotel guests at no charge. Had brunch on Sunday for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. First off, they served Kenwood champagne which isn't bad for "all you can drink". None of that second fermentation crap you find at a lot of brunches. Food was pretty darn good too. I would highly recommend. For as many people as the place can hold it is quite quiet at night. Staff was very accomodating on all requests. Only a couple of complaints: The restaurant closes at 9pm on Saturday night! Whaaaaaaaaaa.... come on folks. Our server was extremely nice and said he sympathized with us. Brought us some goldfish crackers. The outside eating area next to the pool is so nice, they should at least serve light appetizers. Me being the savvy traveler, I always carry booze and hors d'oeuvres with me "just in case". Went back to the room and grabbed a couple bottles of wine, crackers, cheese and lox. Had a grand ole' time out by the pool. Also, the pool patio bar ALSO closes at 9pm so the only other choice on Saturday was to pay $10 cover charge to listen to a band in the main bar. Don't like being charged to drink if I'm already a paying guest. On Sunday they also had a cover for Salsa dancing night but hotel guests didn't have to pay if they weren't participating. Only other complaint is the charge for WiFi. I SO believe that it should be included for paying guests. I have a reall soft spot for this "old girl". They've kept the grounds up beautifully and it's as close as you're going to get to a "resort" type of feel in the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Lodge at Feather Falls Casino; City: Oroville California; Review: DH and I went on a whim over the weekend. Called ahead and they had room + a show for $99 - not bad since the band was an Eagles tribute band and were extremely good. Snagged one of the 4 booths at the back and had the best seat in the house. Room was on 3rd floor with a small balcony and was fine. Has a indoor/outdoor pool, sauna, jacuzzi and fitness center. Since it was our first trip, we received $30 in free slot play + $10 food credit. Friday seafood buffet is decent. Oysters on the half actually smelled/tasted briny. Other items I like were: mussels, clams, peel & eat shrimp, crab, broasted chicken, cooked to order steak, good salad/soup bar. They had lots of other choices but I was trying to be semi good so stuck with just a few items. Big dessert selection also and DH said apple pie ala mode was good. They advertise as being very loose on the slots. I didn't find that to be true but didn't lose too much. For being a smaller casino, they have a good number/variety of slots. Like to sit at the bar and play the poker machines. DH did well on blackjack so we basically broke even. Bar has $1 beer most of the night from their own brewery. Other brands such as Bud are $1.50. Pretty good deal overall. Staff was pretty nice for all areas.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Lodge at Feather Falls Casino; City: Oroville California; Review: Our third trip here. Scored a free room, 50% off dining and $25 slot credit so how could we stay home! Rooms are very nice size and comfortable. They include a decent size fridge, microwave, actual coffee cups, good size bathroom. They were booked up the night we went so stayed on the 3rd floor in the back overlooking the parking lot. This actually wasn't bad since it was very quiet. Only negative I have about the room is they still aren't all upgraded to flat screens. Had a VERY old TV in our room. Gaming, for me, was stingy as usual. I just can't seem to win here like I do other places. Play mainly video poker and couldn't even hit a 4 of a kind on double double in about 8 hours of play. Tried a few other slots but no go either. Hubbie did OK on blackjack but nothing to write home about. Their HH is pretty cool. Can get their brewery beer for $2 or bud light draft for $2.25. Discounts on well liquor as well. Went to the buffet and was just OK. There were plenty of empty tables at about 8pm on a Friday but took forever to get seated. Must have been short staffed because when finally seated, had to constantly flag someone down for drink refills, etc. Nothing outstanding but did give us additional discounts for having the player card. Doesn't take much longer to get to Tahoe from Sacramento than it does here, but if the weather is bad it's a good alternative.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Neat Solutions Sesame Street Table Topper Disposable Stick-in-Place Placemats - 18 Count; Brand: Sesame Street; Review: I have not used the table topper yet, so I will update my review. But I just want to write that this travel case (costs about $5) is not a travel size. The case is about the same size as Huggies Baby Wipe Travel Case, but it is much thicker. It is my fault that I did not check the size of the case before ordering, but who would be able to put this case in an already overstuffed diaper bag??? I would probably leave this travel case in my car and use ziplock or unused Huggies Baby Wipe Travel Case when I actually travel with the table toppers. One star for the travel case. Update: The table topper works very nicely. ZERO STAR for the travel case as the lid comes off every time when I open it....; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Silicone Mini Muffin Cupcake Baking Pan Tray - 12 Cup - 100% Pure Food Grade Premium Non-stick Silicon; Brand: Belgoods Bakeware; Review: I have received two email requests to write a review about this product, so here it goes. This silicone mini muffin pan produces an awful burnt plastic smell. It ruins the excitement of waiting for the baked goods. But it does a job of what the description says, which is to bake evenly cooked mini muffins. It is also convenient when you make a steamed mini muffin/bread for my baby. But after smelling the awful plastic fume or silicone (whatever that is), I have decided not to use this product for baking again.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

I wish I had known this before I purchased any plastic play mats. The rug pad provides safe cushions for babies and toddlers who are learning to walk and best of all this is chemical-free.

Title: Comfort Zone with Feliway Diffuser Refills For Cat Calming, 6 Pack; Brand: Comfort Zone; Review: I can't really tell yet if this works or not, I understand it needs to be used for a few months in a row before taking full effect. But, being that I have 4 cats, and it's always 2 against 2, I figure something's better than nothing. So I'm giving it a good try. There is no smell that human's can detect, but I suppose the hormone is something that calms the cat somehow. I use 2 bottles at a time, and am ready to place another order now. So I should be able to see soon, the highest positive results. The order had arrived in a greatly designed package, to ensure preserving the glass bottles. I really loved that.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Feline Pine Cat Litter; Brand: Feline Pine; Review: I think anyone who has had cats for a long period of time and has used clay litter over the years, would appreciate transforming their household into a pine litter home. The difference is amazing. I switched about 2 1/2 years ago, buying a different brand, and it took a while for my cats to adjust, but once they did, they liked it - no little pieces of clay stuck in their toes, not all that litter dust floating all over, every time you change or clean the litter, no more TEAR WRENCHING URINE ODORS hitting you in the face when you walk near a litter box used by multiple cats! And the house doesn't smell like cats anymore - AT ALL. This is only the 2nd or 3rd time buying the Nature's Earth Feline Pine brand, but the cats don't seem to notice any difference. I don't know if all the pine litters are basically the same, but I was quite pleased with this Feline Pine after trying the brand.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Noble Mount Women's Fleece Lined Tights -(Introductory Price); Brand: ; Review: Was originally looking for footed thermal underwear, but found none, so purchased these instead. They are perfect. I usually wear them under slacks, to keep me warm while I wait for the bus during this colder than usual winter and they work -- not too bulky and add a lot of warmth. I am a pretty solid size Medium, and purchased a Medium/Large. That makes them easier to get on and off and, I suspect, may add just a bit more warmth. I liked them so much, I bought several more pairs.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Royal Hotel; City: Skegness Lincolnshire England; Review: Viceroys at the Royal, Now predominantly UK cuisine and pretty good value for money especially the two for £20 which has a limited menu but includes a bottle of house wine. We are not residents but have eaten there on several occasions a good choice from Surf and Turf to 'build your own burgers'. Staff are good, we are yet to have a negative experience.

Title: ASICS Men's GEL-Netburner Ballistic MT Volleyball Shoe; Brand: ; Review: I used K-Swiss 7.0 Mid for over 20 years but this shoe was discontinued and found few satisfactory alternatives at shoe shores or on the internet. I spent two months sorting through and testing the few Mid style court shoe alternatives. I was hesitant at first due to the higher price as they cost 20% or more above the competition but my size of 11.5 was unavailable in the other quality brands so I did. After trying them out it, I found them to be far superior to the others in comfort, traction, correct sizing and style. I would think however a more reasonable price for this shoe would be $100. The $120 price tag is too high in my opinion for this shoe.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Gigabyte ATX DDR4 Intel LGA 1151 SATA E (6Gbit/s) Motherboards (GA-Z170X-Gaming 7); Brand: Gigabyte; Review: Let me start by saying - I love Gigabyte M-boards and have never had an issue with a single one in the 20+ years I've been in IT. HOWEVER, recently I bought this Gaming 7 (1151) board for my new Skylake build. I ran it for about 5 months with no issues - then all of a sudden it wouldn't boot Windows. Thought it was the drive (SSD - mind you) so I pulled it out and threw that drive in another box... it booted fine. I then tried to boot to a simple bootable Windows 10 USB stick with the same results. It starts to boot - gets the loader screen and BAM - BIOS reset & post. Sent the board in (perfect condition) and they tell me "Oh the CPU pins are BENT but no worries - its under warranty and we will repair it". In NO WAY were these pins bent when it left my house (even had the CPU socket guard) - this damage was done by whoever unpacked it at Gigabyte. Anyways... they repair the "bent CPU pins" and I call everyday to make sure they are going to address the boot issue which it was originally sent in for - they tell me "yes, it will go back to the test bench after repair and they will make sure it boots". Well - they didn't. I call back the day it says it is shipping back to me to ensure they tested the boot process and find out all the did was a stress test (same thing I did at the house before I called for an RMA). It passes that with flying colors but that does not test the boot process (BIOS based or UEFI). Long story not so short - my board still won't boot my drives - won't boot USB - won't boot anything windows based. This has been the worst customer support & tech support issue I have dealt with in a long time. They could have just sent me a new board and been done with this (since they damaged it anyway) but no, they waste a full MONTH before I get back the same...BROKEN....board! Gigabyte makes great products but GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL if you ever have to deal with their tech support or RMA process!!; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

The only reason that I didn't give this bag 5 stars is because the bag looks orange in the photo...which I really liked, and actually WANTED, but, when I received the bag, the 'orange' part of the bag was actually an ugly brown color. I didn't send the bag back because I liked everything else about it. But, beware that the colors in the photo are very deceiving, and this bag is NOT orange or rust colored at all.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Propét TravelWalker II Slip-On Elite Shoes; Brand: Propt; Review: I've purchased a couple of pairs of Propet shoes for my mom, and they are all awesome. Comfortable. Fit as expected. Easy for her to slip on and off. Very stylish and well made. Non-skid, as we have all hard wood flooring. Would definitely buy again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Ugg Men's Ascot Espresso Suede Wool Slipper; Brand: ; Review: I bought these men's slippers for my mom because she suffers from a tremendous amount of foot swelling and pain resulting from a spinal cord injury. It is almost impossible to find womens slippers that met all of her requirements...shes diabetic so the inside of the slipper could not rub or irritate her feet in any way, and she has limited use of one of her legs so she needed a truly non-slip sole. This slipper was a Godsend. We were able to get a wide enough width to handle the swelling, a very comfortable shearling lining, a non-skid bottom, and even a variety of colors to choose from! I had almost given up before Id found these. Its definitely worth the money, and this is my third pair of Uggs. I also have a pair of boots and slippers for myself. Believe the hype, Uggs are the best.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fur Pom Pom Keychain Bag Charm - Genuine Large Fox Raccoon Fur Handbag Charms FURTALK Original; Brand: FURTALK; Review: I loved this Pom Pom bag charm so much in Deep Red that I came back and bought it again in Pink. These are excellent quality, and Ive received tons of compliments on them. They are so soft, and come in a cute little bag that you can keep for storage when you're not using them. They are large, which I personally love. I even use them on smaller bags as an accent. These are a must-have to spice up your bag...or just to use as a keychain.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premium Quality Sunglasses Case | 100% | Protective | Sturdy | Hard | Medium - Large - XL; Brand: MyEyeglassCase; Review: This glasses case is not only beautiful, but the quality is excellent. I have many pairs of oversized sunglasses, and each pair fits perfectly in this case. Its also great for my regular eyeglasses, which are too large for a standard case. Definitely a great buy!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Drury Inn Suites San Antonio Airport; City: San Antonio Texas; Review: What a great place to stay. I had a room with two double beds and a living room area. It was quite spacious. Great for my seven week stay. The beds and couch were comfortable and there was plenty of storage. The amazing breakfast and dinner are the real selling point. It is truly a hot breakfast and a genuine meal for dinner which is a great cost saver. There are many options for both meals and a variety of drinks including alcohol. These are all included. Very impressed so far.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Suites Newport News Oyster Point; City: Newport News Virginia; Review: This hotel made me feel like I was at home from the minute I checked in. I stayed for seven weeks in a suite.

Title: Badi ah Hotel; City: Bandar Seri Begawan Brunei Muara District; Review: Stayed at Badi'ah Hotel for 10 nights in 2013 (as I was on a school trip in Brunei) and I had pleasant memories of it. When we arrived at the hotel, the bellman was on task to help with our luggage (even though we were of a large group). I stayed at the highest floor of the hotel. The rooms we surprisingly spacious and big, given the small size of hotel. Since it was a fairly new hotel, the ambience was great. Bed were extremely comfy. Toilet is of a sufficient size (do note the water heating system does not provide enough heat and thus your warm water will become cold after using it for a continuous period). What makes the hotel great is its location. Located about a mile from the city centre it is quite strategic. There's a mall behind the hotel, which has a supermarket and also shops. If you like to walk around, there's a fantastic mamak (an indian muslim) stall which sells fantastic indian muslim food (I recommend eating roti prata as the curry is so flavourful). There's also a barber shop and laundry shop which charges a dollar per clothing (no underwear washing though). The hotel has a swimming pool and also Delifrance located at the lobby. Love the sultanas there! In conclusion, the hotel has a very strategic location with a lot of amenities around its vicinity. Being a new hotel, there's a lot of ground to make up but I assure you they will give their utmost service if you need help. Thank you Badi'ah hotel for the memorable stay I had with my group.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sindang Reret Hotel and Restaurant; City: Bandung West Java Java; Review: Had a welcoming lunch here and greeted to scrumptious sundanese food! Staff was on hand to cater to our needs and the food was prepared on the table before we arrived. Some of the recommend food and drinks includes the grilled chicken, any style of cooking of the gurame fish and also the es soda gembira which really makes me happy! Good job.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Metro Pratunam Boutique Hotel; City: Bangkok; Review: The hotel was new and everything was clean and workable. Beds were huge and the ambience of the hotel was nice. Value for money. Breakfast was provided and there are plenty of shops nearby if you need to grab anything. Shoutout to the attentive and helpful staff, couldn't get your name but you are beautiful.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tortuga Villas Pattaya; City: Pattaya Chonburi Province; Review: Was blown away when I arrived at the villa! Everything was proper and clean and the place was huge! There is daily housekeeping and the pool is cleaned periodically by the housekeeping staff. Well equipped villa. Best is to search the place of the office first to get the keys to the villa so best is to call the office to ask them to direct your driver to the location.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Regal Airport Hotel; City: Hong Kong; Review: The rooms were a far cry from the grandeur of the lobby. Very dated, and some of the appliances look like they are from the 90s. The bathtub handle was falling apart and the tv remote control was unresponsive to name some of the problems.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Panorama; City: Hong Kong; Review: The hotel is strategically located in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui. Despite the rooms were small for the price paid, every inch of space is fully utilised. Rooms are clean and in proper condition.

Title: Hotel Perdana; City: Kota Bharu Kelantan; Review: Hands down, definitely the best hotel in Kelantan. The hotel has its own charm and with the updated facelift, it looks better than ever. It is definitely value for money as the rooms are big and spacious and cheap for that size and rating.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Melaka; City: Melaka Central Melaka District Melaka State; Review: Stayed over at this hotel over the Christmas Weekend. The hotel is new as it just opened on the 15th, so it is still clean and up-to-date. The hotel lobby was located on the 12th floor so it is better to park your car first and bring your stuff yourself to the lobby unless you have a lot of luggage with you. The room is spacious and updated but one of the concerns is the view, which is if you get a room that is facing inwards, your view of the sea is obstructed by the Hatten Place Residences towers. So a tip here is to always get the city view. Beds are good and comfortable. Wifi is not free, so I would suggest you to register to be a Hilton Honors member (which is free) to enable the complimentary WIFI at the hotel. For those football fans, there are two Astro Supersport Channels for you to watch your footy. The swimming pool offers a great view of the city, and I believe it is one of the best pool views I've seen in Malacca. I only managed to patronize one restaurant, which is the Makan Kitchen, for breakfast and for dinner. The breakfast spread was good, and one of the highlights was the bread was toasted on top of charcoal which is really a plus point for me. The dim sum section was a hit or miss, and the Indian section could be better. Despite this minor shortcomings, the food was good and the braised ribs for dinner and also the ayam goreng berempah for breakfast was commendable. Location wise, it might be a bit far off from the town centre, but it has it perks. For those driving, you can avoid the jammed roads during peak periods which is good. I can see the effort of the hotel staff trying to win over the guests' heart, be it the bellman all the way to the restaurant manager. Notable mention to Marshall who handled my check-in and check-out seamlessly, the Makan Kitchen Manager who went out of his way to get us the best deals and also one of the bellmen who took his time to explain the layout of the room. To sum it up, it was a good stay and I hope in a year's time to come back and see the changes that occur at the hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Harmoni One Convention Hotel and Service Apartments; City: Batam Center Batam Riau Archipela; Review: Had two nights stay in the executive suite, and I am largely impressed by the amenities there and also the spaciousness of the room.I also think that the for the price of the room, it is really worth every rupiah. Check in and check out is a breeze. The styling and the architecture of the hotel are grand and I feel I was in a castle. I would like to mention one memorable thing from the breakfast, which was the warm soya milk on offer. Best soya milk I ever had. However, I was quite disappointed when they didn't entertain my friend's request when she called in to inform that she lost her spectacles in her room. There was no follow-up from the management side as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mutiara Johor Bahru; City: Johor Bahru Johor Bahru District Johor; Review: My first impression when I saw the hotel from afar was "oh no seems a bad choice". The coat of paint on the building was severely weathered and it looked like it has aged tremendously. I feared the worst. However, the hotel lobby changed my perception, it was still clean and not as dated as I think it would be. Got a suite for a night and i accomodated the four of us fairly well. For the price I had no issues regarding it. Breakfast was okay, special mention for the lontong and especially the prata station, seeing it made in front of you really make you salivate for more! The staff was attentive and friendly, did not catch your names but you know who you are.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Residencial Florescente; City: Lisbon Lisbon District Central Portugal; Review: Just back from a lovely stay in Lisbon. We stayed in RF for 3 nights. We arrived much earlier than their usual check in time but this was not an issue for the hotel and our room was ready for us to use which I was very grateful for. Our room was on the third floor, the room was very small and bathroom also very small, but that did not bother us as all we did in the room was sleep and shower!! The room was cleaned (beds made, bathroom area cleaned, fresh towels) every day. There was a tv in the room, which had a few english stations so was handy to stick on for an hour in the mornings while getting ready for the day or to watch for a few minutes before bed. The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect for exploring! A few of the sights are within walking distances and 2 metro stations, busses, taxis all very very close to the hotel. Plenty of restaurants and cafes near the hotel. The breakfast was fine, meats, cheese, eggs, bacon, cereal and breads. All in all we had a lovely stay here and I would stay again for price, helpful staff and location especially!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pinhal da Marina; City: Vilamoura Quarteira Faro District Algarve; Review: We stayed in a one bed pool view apartment, right beside the smaller pool, lovely, spacious apartment. Kitchen was well laid out with everything we needed. We had our 7 month old baby and were provided with a cot and high chair. Any amount of hot water. Cleaned every day. My parents stayed in a studio pool view apartment, also very spacious for a studio. Apartments were about 15-20 minute walk from the Marina. We enjoyed the walk up and down every day but might not suit everyone. We really enjoyed our stay and would have no problem returning.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Riverside Park Hotel Leisure Club; City: Enniscorthy County Wexford; Review: We recently stayed in this hotel. 5 adults and 2 children in 3 separate rooms.

The food we had was fantastic, could have no faults at all. We would have no hesitation in booking this hotel again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nessebar Fort Club Apartments; City: Sunny Beach Burgas Province; Review: Just finishing off a lovely stay here today. Our apartment was well equipped with cooking facilities, cleaned every 3rd day and very comfortable beds. I had requested a cot, high chair and ground floor apartment all of which were granted (cot and high chair were €2 a day but I already knew that so it was fine). We were very grateful for the ground floor apartment as we have 1 year old so was easier with her. The complex has 6 pools all of which are kept very clean, each pool area has a little climbing frame with slide and swings which my daughter loved. The restaurant and bar was very good, we are here a few times and the food was lovely and very cheap. All staff were extremely pleasant and friendly. Reception staff and restaurant staff were so so lovely. Every morning a team of workers arrive to clean and up keep the pools and gardens and they do a fab job. The apartments are 20min walk from the main strip but that was fine for us. We had a fab stay here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Abbeylodge B B; City: Kilkenny County Kilkenny; Review: Stayed in the B&B for one night with 21 other women as part of a hen party.

Breakfast the next morning was fantastic, no complaints from any of our hens!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alvaflor Apartments; City: Vilamoura Quarteira Faro District Algarve; Review: We atyed for 5 nights in October. One bed apartment, good size, kitchen has everything you need. Good shower. Our room was cleaned every day. We had requested a ground floor apartment and this was perfect for us. Our balcony faces the pool. Nice pool area. Apartments are about 15 minute walk from the Marina but that suited us fine. Taxi from the Marina was €4. All staff were friendly and helpful. Easy check in and room was ready for us even though we were there much earlier than regular check in time. TV with some English stations. Would return to these apartments.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Explorers Hotel; City: Magny le Hongre Marne la Vallee Seine et Marne Ile de France; Review: We stayed here as a group of 7 (5 adults & 2 children) occupying 2 rooms for 3 nights. Not one of us could of had any complaints at throughout our stay. We arrived early on the Saturday, our room wasn't ready (which was fine as regular check in is 3pm!) We were able to give all our information to reception staff which meant we only had to collect our keys later that day. The hotel had a fab luggage room where we could leave our baggage and head off to Disneyland for the day. Shuttle bus right outside the front door that has you in Disneyland in under 5mins! We returned to the hotel about 6ish, were promptly given our room keys and we checked out our rooms. Each room had a double and 2 single beds and room room and an adjoining room with a set of bunk beds and a t.v. so.pleanty of room for us. The tv had loads of stations, shower was hot and beds made every day. After checking our rooms we headed to the pool, great fun here with small baby area with a ship and slide, then main pool with 2 slides we had a ball. No issue about the men's swimming shorts (had read in some reviews they had to be Speedos)!! Soft play area for the children was fantastic!! Ate in the buffet restaurant that evening, good food, plenty of it! Breakfast each morning was continental, for a small fee you could grab an omelette, eggs&bacon or eggs&sausages. Done the job. Used the pool twice more during our stay and the soft play area on many occasions. Went to the 6D cinema on our last night €5 for a 10min movie, nice experience. Ate from the pizza restaurant that evening, tasty pizzas and chips. We had an absolutely fantastic stay, hotel is well equipped for children. We will definitely return to Disneyland and will be staying here when we do!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

The experience in the restaurant was not so great, When we are there for a morning break fast, they denied to serve normal south Indian dish like Dosa .

Title: Manaltheeram Ayurveda Beach Village; City: Kottukal Thiruvananthapuram District Kerala; Review: Rejuvenation is appropriate, you can spend quality time, and it is an authentic Ayurveda resort. Stayed with family for 3 days and completely enjoyed. Had a good break from work. If you’re looking for beach resort with beautiful green it is the place and highly recommended If you are looking for a sophisticated luxury type holiday may not be of choice. You don’t get big option in food because it is primarily for guest taking treatments The photo in sites ...this place is exactly like that. if you are planning for a holiday in kovalam... value for money; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Canaan; City: Nagercoil Kanyakumari District Tamil Nadu; Review: Small town and we were left with limited. this is my second trip to down south in the same month. If you are a traveler then go towards poovar which is approximately 50 KM from Nagercoil where you will find unbelievable resorts About the hotel, There is no proper lighting as well in the hotel. we stayed for couple of days and the restaurant was never open. Hardly you will find people for service in case of help needed. But if you have to stay in town. this is the second best option, i was unaware of another hotel which people say it wasn't maintained .

Title: INDeco Mahabalipuram; City: Mahabalipuram Kanchipuram District Tamil Nadu; Review: I blocked couple of rooms over a call. When I reached "after looking at the room almost decided to cancel" and started looking out for options. The rooms towards extreme left of restaurant were stinking when we checked the staff told it is because there is a PIG farm in the close proximity After that we were offered rooms on the immediate right of the reception which are pretty decent and they also have rooms in the front. The restaurant staff behave strict and they ask (order) you to be on time always like a military camp. They serve good food. There is no much variety but fresh, absolutely no complains on the quality of food served. One more thing “there is absolutely nothing in the bar …only beer is available” Our kids did enjoyed a lot because hell a lot of space for them to play ....really big place. The pool is clean not suitable for every one because they don't stop people or advise them on using the pool. I saw many of them jumping in the pool with cotton clothes and Salwar.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Deepam; City: Tiruchirappalli Tiruchirappalli District Tamil Nadu; Review: Got a deal in OYO and booked. It's not far from the junction took 10 minutes early morning in cab from the station. Have checked in early they aren't fussy. Booked 2 rooms for 4 of us. they have good parking space , entrance is little narrow. Rooms are clean and very decent breakfast. the room service levels can be improved a lot. i didn't feel like reaching out for help because of the response time. Air conditioning in the rooms are well maintained and had a good sleep.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sea Breeze Hotel; City: Mahabalipuram Kanchipuram District Tamil Nadu; Review: We stayed at the resort for 3 days and 2 nights, it was a warm welcome from the front office and quick check in . The rooms are clean and neat. The Lawn was big and they provide you sports items to play( volley ball, badminton, cricket bat..etc). Pool is decent. I have stayed in few other resorts in Mahabalipuram. this is really a good option for the cost. Things to know : Dont expect superior services level or used to 5 star services then not a good choice for you Restaurant well located near the sea. Lot of scope to improve on the service level and food quality as well. I will recommend to spend few more hundreds for the sea view rooms.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Spice Garden Farm Resort; City: Vagamon Idukki District Kerala; Review: Good things first The location is spectacular and resort is well located as well. There is private waterfalls, visit arrangements are done by resort. If you decide to stay here, don’t miss it. You get a typical Kerala breakfast and decent food options. Even people cross by or travelers stop for food. I haven’t seen better options. If you are a big group then over all expenses on food after 2 or 3 day stay will be less. They are working on tent options near the waterfalls when I was there, I felt the idea is good. Then something I didn’t enjoy. We were checking with the resort Manager on direction and guidance on route before reaching. It was horrible experience to search for the resort in the late evening or night. Recommend to reach Vagamon early in the afternoon The Rooms were small and service levels need to be improved. The resort is not adequately staffed and there is only one person who tries his best. I never had a feeling of staying in a resort, rather it was like a home stay. There were few cupboards in my room and hotel staff keep coming to my room to take things. Vagamon is not a costly place, but you need to do a homework before finalizing or you need to be in the proximate (approx.., 200 km) to experiment.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Ibis Budget Bradford; City: Bradford West Yorkshire England; Review: The etap Bradford is very cheap budget hotel. The price is good but it's pointless payin £25 if you can't get a wink of sleep. Because its so cheap it's usually full of young lads and girls having screaming sex and smoking drugs. The rooms themselves are not bad considering the price. It's just the people it attracts makes it very difficult to get a wink of sleep. The stairway usually stinks of cannabis which isn't pleasant. It's just off canal road a major dual carriageway running through Bradford, it's hard to block the noise out.

Title: Arcomar Apartments; City: Sant Josep de Sa Talaia Ibiza Balearic Islands; Review: Arrived for 3 nights on 10th sept. £45 a day for a apartment was very well worth it. The rooms were spacious an clean. Towels provided, bathroom clean. All in all very good apart from the long haired ignorant man at the reception who by the way Neva changes his t-shirt( black Ibiza t-shirt). Location was ok a taxi boat ride away from main San antonio 2.5euro. Please please ppl do not miss club AMNESIA or CLUB PACHA, 45-50 euros for a ticket but well worth it, if u miss it den you've not experienced Ibiza it is absolutely nutty an it will be hard to find better clubs newer else in the world, an I really mean it. It was a fantastic holiday but a very expensive 1 even tho it was jus 3 nights in a budget hotel!! Iqy; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Cox Today Limited; City: Cox s Bazar Chittagong Division; Review: Stayed here for 2 nights with a group of 20. We all had the deluxe room each, everyone enjoyed the stay. Clean, spacious, air conditioning in full working order. Every room had a balcony with glass doors. Power shower and clean bathrooms. Service was brilliant, nothing was too much for the staff. The price we paid for a room was cheaper than most we stayed in as we toured a few places in Bangladesh. All this for only 3500 tk a day! Brilliant hotel!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Dhaka; City: Dhaka City Dhaka Division; Review: Didnt stay at the hotel, but we wish we did. We enjoyed a late night meal here.

Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur; City: Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: Stayed here 3 nights last week. The price we paid for this hotel was unbelievable.

Title: Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort Spa; City: Karon Phuket; Review: Stayed here last week. The place itself is beautiful, the service,set up and location is perfect. The rooms are very outdated tho........ which I was surprised about. Rooms were decent, but decent wasn't what we paid for and expected.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

I have been trying to spread the word about about these!! The books flow very similar to the way a game of throne series does....for anyone that loves those books and is impatiently waiting for the next to be released, this is a great series to read while you wait! Love love love!!! If I could give it more stars I would. Can't wait for the next book. If ever a book would make a fantastic tv series and an author should make it big, this should be it!

I will definitely order the next one in the series to see what happens. My only issue is the price. I read a lot of authors, and several have been around longer, the books are the same length, and they've kept me in greater suspense and were a dollar less.

Title: Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Runnin' Down A Dream (4-Disc Set); Brand: Peter Bogdanovich; Review: Long term Tom Petty fan here...but my wife wasn't. Until she watched this documentary about a year ago! Very forthcoming and informative. But mostly ENTERTAINING! I love the way we meet his previous producers/managers and find out why/how they left. Then there's the Wilbury story, and how Tom bonded with George Harrison (A+!) Through it all, his dedication to the song and his sense of justice and fairness prevail. I have a bit of this as well; I'm willing to sacrifice if something isn't right... but he's on another level. (Check out him arguing with the A&R guys about a song for his friend, Roger McGuinn) And he wears the best damn clothes - later in life! And plays the coolest guitars! Mike Campbell is a true gentleman, Benmont is the "mad dog" (surprise!), Stan Lynch is the foundation with an ego to match Tom's, not enough room for both long-term, Ron Blair is a regular guy who had to leave, but came back and saved the day! Steve Ferrone comes off as a skilled, easygoing guy who was in the right place at the right time, with EXACTLY the right personality to stay in the band. Scott Thurston was a surprise, the damn guy can play ANYTHING with that goofy smile. He's fun to watch. I remember seeing Tom in concert in the early '90's in Nashville. Unlike many other shows, Tom had FUN performing. He was simply EFFERVESCENT on stage.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Iberostar Punta Cana; City: Bavaro Punta Cana La Altagracia Province Dominican Republic; Review: We went with another couple and I am commenting on our joint experience. The grounds are very well manicured and clean. The rooms were tastefully decorated and we loved the night breeze we got when we left the screened patio door open. When we got there our room safe was not working and they fixed it promptly. The maids and staff are very attentive, supplying us with fresh bottled water, towels and toiletries each day. The one drawback was the blankets were not fluffy and soft like we like...kinda cheap, thin and rubbery. Food was amazing at the restaurants and buffet. I didn't like everything, but always enough variety to choose. I don't drink so I was pleased with all the non alcoholic fun drinks available. The beach was perfect, white clean sand that stretched forever. Flea market right down the beach to haggle with vendors and pick up souvenirs. Our guys took a catamaran lesson and we then sailed each day we stayed...really got our money's worth there. The water is the most beautiful shades of blue. Took some Zumba lessons right on the beach..always something to do if you want to. The shows at night are a little campy for my taste, but many people really enjoyed them. I woud not suggest a room on the first floor because our friends did have a few cockroaches as roommates. They changed to an upper floor and all was good. This happens in any tropical environment and this resort is kept spotless. A specal thanks to our sweet maids who always decorated our room with towel sculptures and red hibiscus. We had an amazing trip and will recommend Iberostar to our friends.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Chicago St Charles; City: Saint Charles Illinois; Review: The staff here is second to none. The moment i entered with my family they were asking what they could do to make our trip more pleasant. They printed off directions, as well as recommended things to do and places to eat. Kudos to the young man and woman i interacted with. On Sunday the hotel was having water issues to the point where we all had to take luke-warm showers. Wasnt happy with that, so at check out i brought up the problem and the same two desk agents were there. They both were empathetic and offered me a 10% discount. I normally would have taken the offer but since the service was so pleasant, i declined.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Red Arrow Inn Suites; City: Montrose Colorado; Review: Hotel was older style, but kept up well. Room was comfy, pool looked clean and breakfast was better than most. I enjoyed the freshly made fruit turnovers along with other breakfast items. Nice front desk ladies were pleasant to talk to. My husband and I would return if we came back to Montrose again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Palm Garden Hotel; City: Thousand Oaks California; Review: Beautiful and clean. Amazingly delicious restaurant, Brendans attached. Yum ! The pool is so inviting as are the comfy chairs by the firepits. Rooms are spacious and clean. My only very minor complaint was that we were there 3 days and the free breakfast was exactly the same. Wish they could have made some minor changes and added pastries or bagels. Still it was a wonderful stay and hope to get back to the Malibu area in the future and will stay here.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Elan; City: Calgary Alberta; Review: Group of 5 from Chicago area stayed in three very nice, clean, ultra modern rooms. Management knows how to welcome their guests with yummy cookies and apples and pleasant conversation. Great breakfast also included. Location was perfect and rates were reasonable . Wish we could have stayed longer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ocean Club West; City: Providenciales Turks and Caicos; Review: We were upgraded to stay here because the sister resort was not quite open yet due to hurricane damage. We were pleased with that. Upon arrival the reception area was pretty plain and not as inviting as most. However the room was great ! Beautiful, spacious with large private balcony with comfy lounge chairs, a dining area and a wooden clothes dryer rack to hang your wet clothing. It had a washer/dryer, kitchenette and a great doorless walk in shower with quality toiletries. They thought of everything! The pool was large, clean and not crowded at all. The beach is an amazing, beautiful walking beach. People were playing and swimming in it, but I am more of a pool gal myself. Grocery store and great town within easy walk. Things are pricey here so the kitchenette with frig came in handy. Great custom donut shop in town called TurkBerrys - we went several times. Be careful at night because of potholes in streets and sidewalks - gets very dark. Felt very safe the whole trip - friendly islanders ! Also, visit Potcake Place where you can meet and walk homeless puppies and maybe bring one home. 🐶💓 They are an amazing organization of volunteers. Loved T & C and Ocean Club West.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Unison Croyde Bay Holiday Resort; City: Croyde Braunton Devon England; Review: I really can't praise this venue and it's staff enough, its just great and when taking a holiday in the UK its the only place I will stay. I often go on conferences and family holidays and its a really safe environment and Ive never seen any incidents at all just a really peaceful and realxing atmosphere, with staff that will go the extra mile. I have a diabled son who loves dancing and he's made to feel very welcome and they all know him by name. As regards Croyde itself, its perfect as with many other venues you have to pack the car and head for the beach, however the best about this is a walk from the hotel over the sand dunes and your there and it's easy to head back when you have had enough of the beach and then go back when you want to go again.Food is good and evening entrainment is really enjoyable. Well done to the staff who make it great, in a great location and luxurious accommodation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Prague Centre Superior; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: The hotel is very clean and room servicing is very good with clean towels and beds made up nicely. I had no problem with traffic noise and had the widows open all night. The beds are very comfortable and I slept really well. As stated it is only about 10 minutes walk into prague centre and a little more to reach the Old Town which is stunning. The breakfast in the morning is slightly disappointing and at times I came down and all tables were being used as the breakfast room is not that big and the breakfast was not great at all, I actually missed it and had a lie in rather than go down to it. Coffee however is first class but that is it. The garden area is really nice and if you could of ordered a coffee or tea it would have been great but you cant, even a vedning machine would of done. No bar in the hotel again is not good. Staff are really helpful and nice. However if your looking for cheap accomodation that offers a clean room with nice staff, this is your place.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Iberostar Quetzal Playacar; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: I stayed here for the first time in November. I have never stayed in such a great holiday destination. My wife described it as paradise and I have to agree. We went with our son who has learning difficulties and he had an amazing time. Security is really good and you feel very safe as they are really on the ball. There is a massive selection of food and different restaurants and something for everyone. The beach is stunning and the best you will find anywhere. Entertainment is first calss and there is always things to do. The hotel is really organised and operates like clockwork. Rooms are nice and very clean, with good room service. I will without a doubt be returning next year for another holiday as it was first class and an experience that can only be described as paradise.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Unison Croyde Bay Holiday Resort; City: Croyde Braunton Devon England; Review: I have been to this resort loads of times and have really loved it, sometimes as much as five times a year. However fact it's not cheap and in term time half the swimming pool is roped off and local schools use it. It bursts the holiday bubble completely not to mention your relaxation. There is a lot of shouting from the teachers to the kids and parents watching again bursting your holiday bubble. Its a real shame and they have no intention of stopping it, hence I have not returned. it used to be so relaxing going to the pool, now however its like a local authority swimming pool. I believe this is totally wrong as again its not cheap to stay and to my mind they should not be selling holidays and then selling what you pay for to schools that totally ruin the once amazing peace and relaxation this place once offered. Entertainment by Martin, however in the evening remains the best, he is amazing and the best host you could wish for. Food is good, faultless in fact, but and evening meal costs £25 per head, so a family of four you are looking at a hefty price for your food. Beach is the best you will find anywhere in England and as this hotel is built on it, you cant go wrong. Staff are friendly and rooms first class, Massive shame about the pool area as its important as there is not much to do in Croyde apart from beach ,walking or the swimming pool.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Spalding Hotel; City: Spalding Lincolnshire England; Review: Very happy overall and this is the frist time I've used Travel Lodge. I always use Premier Inn. Parking was not available here, which was not great, however there is a car park opposite and it costs two pound for a 24 hour period. No breakfast or bar. so again not as good as Premier Inn and its just as expensive. There is a Frankie and Benneys for breakfast just up the road. That said rooms are clean and nice, with tea and coffee and comfortable beds with good facilities. Spalding is a wonderful place and well worth a visit and this really is the one and only place to stay and overall it very good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Iberostar Quetzal Playacar; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: I came here in November 16 and have returned in November 2017. This year was even better as they have sorted the problem with sunbeds and trying to get one now is much easier. This place is truly amazing, we met people from last year and some of them come every year saying its the best you can find anywhere. I have to say I agree. Service is really good and they really go the extra mile, nothing is too much trouble for them. Entrainment team this year was amazing again, with Jeff, Chocolate and all the crew make entrainment the best, you could wish for with fun daytime games and amazing night time shows. Food is really good and loads of choice. Security is first class and myself and my family felt very safe all the time, my son who is disabled had a great time and all the guests and staff loved him and helped him. The hotel does not attract yobs or drunks and they seem to be vey on the ball if anyone steps out of line, so you can really enjoy your holiday. Service is the best ever, you lay on a sunbed on the beach or pool and its not long before someone is taking your drinks order. Beach is stunning and only a few steps away from the pool and restaurants. The buffet is great with good restaurants to book, steak house is the best. Only one problem this year we arrived in a group of five as normal, our maid service was quite bad, coffee toped up with no coffee mate. Came back one night with beds made and my son had no sheets on his bed. I was in room 24332, maid also shouting outside room in mornings waking me. Last year was fine and my travel friends had no problem with their room maid, so was isolated. This is the best and offers an amazing holiday, that it would be hard to beat anywhere.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Bridgend Central Hotel; City: Bridgend Bridgend County South Wales Wales; Review: I am a massive fan of Premier Inns. I liked this one, it was nice and very friendly and on the doorstep of the retail park. Breakfast is good, however it’s all you can eat for the usual price. Unlike a lot of Premier Inns you order what you want, instead of a buffet, so you are unable to really get more if you fancied another smaller one. No evening meals, they have a harvester next door, which was not great food. Retail park shuts down early, so when you get back from town etc, there are no late night snacks, so had chocolate from vending machine. No noise and had a good sleep. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms as always with Premier inn are top class and comfortable and very enjoyable to chill out in.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Blau Varadero Hotel; City: Varadero Matanzas Province Cuba; Review: Before I start my review, let me tell you Blau is just totally amazing and here's why. The hotel and rooms and fantastic, I was so happy with my room and the hotel is just the best. Entrainment is really good, they do games in the day and give prizes from rum to massages. They are really fun and we had great laughs all day long with a great entrainment team. The pool is really nice and very relaxing with pool side bars and food right on hand. The beach is awesome and really big. They have a beach bar and lifeguards. You can go out of a small catamaran with a member of staff in control all free of charge. Also pedalos are free also. You can book a snorkelling trip for 20 cucs on the beach and its great, you go out 20 minutes to sea and they give you a feed bottle and you see amazing fish, who surround you. Just outside the hotel is a jet ski centre and you can have great fun for a great price. Dolphins are also within walking distance of the hotel. Varadero is 20 minutes down the road and you can go by bus or taxi, its a lovely little town and we went there a couple of times and really enjoyed it. Going back to the hotel staff and truly amazing and its a wonderful place to stay with top of the range bars with the best drinks in the world. Restaurants in the hotel are really great and food is just brilliant with lots of choice. trips at the hotel are easily booked. We went to Havana in a classic car with our own guide for 150 cucs and it was a truly memorable day. This hotel is the very best and I would have to say the best holiday destination I have ever been to and I have travelled a great deal including Mexico. Well done to Blau for the holiday of a lifetime, see you again next year. I stayed in room 533, but all rooms are great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Manchester Airport; City: Manchester Greater Manchester England; Review: I stayed here as I was flying to Cuba from the airport in the morning. I was so impressed with this hotel on all aspects. I used the car parking service for 2 weeks while I was away. I was really happy with the service it was great and when I arrived home, I phoned them and they picked me up and my car was waiting for me. I loved the rooms and its right next to the airport, staff are amazing and very helpful, will book again, well done to all of you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Unison Croyde Bay Holiday Resort; City: Croyde Braunton Devon England; Review: I’ve been coming here years and often three times a year. It’s great but the food menu is not good. I don’t like getting up early and in the past that’s not been a problem as you could order an all day breakfast at a not cheap but fair price. I got up breakfast is £9.50 a head, which if you’re a family of four you’re in for a big bill for breakfast alone. I got up expecting to get one and it finished at ten, then you have the all day menu , that is lamb shank etc around £12 but no breakfast and with no other options really in Croyde. So one if you eat breakfast and dinner a family of four will pay nearly £100 a day on food. However worse of all no breakfast unless you’re up at before ten and then as stated £9.50 a head. Croyde is great but it’s expensive. Book a lodge they look amazing and buy your food. Other issues, schools use pool in term time and teacher shouts and half pool roped off. However there’s always entrainment in the evening by Martin, the best DJ and host there is and the best beach in the UK.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Unison Croyde Bay Holiday Resort; City: Croyde Braunton Devon England; Review: As with my last reviews-you will know I love this place, new Lodges are amazing and in the best part of the UK with the best beach just over the sand dunes. Entrainment as stated before with Martin in the evening is the best, if you like peace and quiet in luxury and with amazing beaches and scenery this is the place to be. Also a barbecue area with gas barbecue at a cost of ten pounds and they clean it so a really great experience all round.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Abora Catarina by Lopesan Hotels; City: Playa del Ingles Maspalomas Gran Canaria Canary Islan; Review: Had a really great time here, the hotel is really nice and exceptionally clean. Grounds and gardens are immaculate. Room serving was first class and attention to detail was great. Animation team were very good and did some great shows and games. Food was the best I’ve had in a hotel and the choice and quality was very impressive. Hotel as stated is really clean and I never came across anything that was not spotless including all the toilets. Drinks were really well made and top quality spirits and beers used. The hotel has a shuttle bus to the beach, which is really good. Swimming pools are wonderful and we had a great time pool side and getting a sun bed was never a problem, this had to be a first as everywhere Else it’s a nightmare so a big well done to them for this. This place gave us a wonderful holiday and I would book again without hesitation. Ok I would of given 5 stars but here’s the negatives that let them down. Firstly a very rude lifeguard with a beard who was really unpleasant unlike the others, he was on his phone all the time and really abrupt. He walked up to my wife as she has a rubber ring in the pool our disabled son uses, he grunted at her, whilst speaking on his phone. I asked if he had a problem with English as it could be a language barrier, however he came back and said I speak perfect English in a really arrogant manner, very unpleasant man, which is a shame as he let the other great staff down badly. Next my wife got something in her eye, we asked for some first aid and some saline to wash through, they said they could not do that and would need to call a doctor at s cost of 100 Euro or we should go to hospital, this was basic first aid, so to conclude no first aid available. Next snack bar food burgers, chips etc, were cold most the time. Animation finished to early before 2200 most nights. So this is the negatives in what is a great hotel, giving a lovely time in a wonderful place Gran Canaria.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Blau Varadero Hotel; City: Varadero Matanzas Province Cuba; Review: Another great holiday at Blau. I’ve been to Cuba 4 times and this place is great. In two stays only had two problems one with noisy drunks that reception and security failed to act on after reporting it and lack off sun beds on beach. However General manager David is great and reporting anything to him it gets dealt with. I have dropped them a star as they are let down only by reception staff. Upon arrival we had been travelling a long time from the UK, no welcome drinks and a long queue. Throughout my time there reception staff are moody rude and irritable. Apart from that it’s great with an amazing beach and nice pool area. Food is not bad and staff are great. Good entailment throughout the day and evening. So to date my best holiday. Some tips don’t buy cigars in Varadero if you’re going to Havana they are five times the price in Varadero. In Varadero watch out for horse and cart rides they will rip you off, we asked a price and at the end he said that’s per person so we paid 4 times the original quote. Beatles bar is amazing, what ever you do only book trips to Havana at hotel, in town you will get offered trips but they fail to turn up as happened to us. So great place but reception staff need some customer service care training.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The One Cozy Vacation Residence; City: Chalong Phuket Town Phuket; Review: I spent two weeks here as I was training at Tiger Muay Thai. This place was a little gem for me and I loved everything about it. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Food served there is of good quality and at a fair price. The swimming pool is wonderful and I spend so much time in the pool after training. My room was really nice and the whole set up for me was perfect and its also just down the road from Tiger Muay Thai another massive plus. I will be returning to stay here again it was a pleasure and I loved it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Luck O' the [Non]Irish (New Haven Police, #1); Author: Renee Grace Thompson; Genres: ; Review: This story is, quite simply, a ton of fun. Light hearted, silly and sweet, it left a big stupid smile on my face. A perfect pick-me-up after a long day. The FMC is sweet and shy, and the MMC is adorable. Great read. I highly recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Last Kingdom (The Saxon Stories, #1); Author: Bernard Cornwell; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: This whole series is fairly far out of my normal reading scope. While I enjoy a good thriller or historical, it's fairly rare for me to so ridiculously, entirely, whole-heartedly become OBSESSED with a series that for the most part has few women and few women that are remotely involved in the plot. Well... I loved this one. We follow Uhtred as he navigates a world in which everyone sees him as other. He's not accepted by the people to whom he was born, nor is he accepted by the people by whom he was adopted. Caught in a game of can-I-trust-you-can-I-not with the cautious King Albert, Uhtred fails repeatedly to be cautious enough to navigate the politics of Saxon England. The result is... simply infections. I holed up and read eight of these books in two weeks before my husband staged and intervention. I COULD NOT PUT THEM DOWN. I loved every single one and am still rooting for Uhtred to get back his ancestral home of Bebbanburg. These books blew my mind. Very inspiring. Especially if you love blood, guts and politics. Which I do.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark #2); Author: Kresley Cole; Genres: paranormal, fiction, fantasy, romance; Review: I have to admit, I really enjoyed this. Because of some things I've heard, I didn't expect to, didn't even really want to at times, but I really did enjoy it. Very very much so. There were a few funny moments that actually made me laugh out loud, like when he gets hit by the car and the car bounces off and he driver runs, or when he robs the delivery cart of food. They made me ridiculously happy. And there were some super sexy moments too, like when he kissed her in the rain for the first time. The love story between them was aces, the plot was so-so with the vampires and the coven, but, I'll be honest, I'm not ready for plot. The characters were fabulous, the tension between them simmered, and all together, I feel pretty happy about the 5-6 hours I spent reading this book. It made me happy. Time well spent. Thanks Ms. Cole. I will totally be reading more of you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Warlord Wants Forever (Immortals After Dark #1); Author: Kresley Cole; Genres: paranormal, fiction, fantasy, romance; Review: I'm on a Kresley Cole kick at the moment. Just finished A Hunger Like No Other, and I have to say this one was not quite as good. Had a hard time connecting with Myst and it felt abbreviated, almost like she could have given them a few more obstacles to overcome before accepting their eternity together. That being said, I still enjoy her world, and the five-year boner made me laugh in a good way. These books aren't going to stretch your brain, but they're fun, and that's all I really demand of them.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Break Me; Author: Lena Maye; Genres: romance; Review: Amazing. I loved every second of this book. The characters are so raw and so real. Intense and passionate and funny. When it was over, I was sad because the characters felt like friends. I loved this book. It's so good!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Claim Me (The Assumptions Series, #1); Author: Renee Grace Thompson; Genres: ; Review: This book is sweet. That's the perfect word to describe it. Two genuinely good people coming together and falling in love. A wild ride with ups and downs and so much growth for both of them. I just absolutely loved it. Great writing!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: Landal Sandybrook Lodges; City: Ashbourne Derbyshire England; Review: This is our 3rd lodge holiday and so far been the best. Previously the lodges elsewhere have been lovely but the amenities on site let the holiday down a little. Sandybrook has managed to tick all the boxes so far. The lodge itself is very nice, comfortable, cosy and clean set in lovely surroundings. The park is quiet but there's enough to keep my two boys entertained, pool, sauna, games room, play ground, small wood and a larger grassed area to charge about on. The bonus for us is the restaurant and bar on site so after a day exploring we don't have to trek about looking for somewhere to eat. The Coach House was superb, food was great and the service even better, the staff couldn't have helped us more and we're extremely friendly. All the staff we've encountered this holiday have been helpful, friendly and welcoming. Will definitely look at coming again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fuertesol Bungalows; City: Caleta de Fuste Antigua Fuerteventura Canary Islands; Review: A mixed group of 9 of us stayed for one week over New Year, family of 4 with 11 and 17yr old, family of 3 with a 17yr old and a couple with no kids. Mixed reactions to accommodation from the 3 rooms. Personally our room was ok, clean but furniture a bit tatty and tired, comfortable enough as a base and somewhere to sleep for one week but in need of an update. We only used one of the wardrobes as one smelt fusty and damp (but it did back on to the shower so maybe that was the problem) the spare blankets in the cupboard were also a bit musty. Decent enough size, bathroom ok, maid service every other day with clean towels so no complaints there. Our friends did have problems with their bedding, they said it smelt and asked for it to be changed. Hotel staff changed the bedding but said the replacement wasn't much better. The complex itself is good, very tidy and well kept all on one level, the pool was clean and had plenty of free sun loungers although the temperature was only for the brave (or vey stupid!!!). Nice pool bar with drinks and snacks which we used a few times, friendly staff and food ok. We used Tommy Nutters for breakfast which is across the road and tucked away just up the hill, great "Beer Soaker" breakfast which was just what we needed on New Years Day, great friendly service and a good breakfast. The Fuertasol is in a great location, a 10 minute walk from the town centre and beach and five minutes to the bus station. Very pleasantly surprised with Caleta De Fuste, a good mix of places to eat and drink, some nice shops and lovely Marina/promenade which looks like it's going through some improvements. We will definitely return in the summer. A few places we would recommend to try would be Fado Rock Restaurant (steakhouse with a good range on the menu), The Great Wall (Chinese restaurant), 555 (Tapas/Moroccan menu) Tommy Nutters (great breakfast) and Piero's music cafe and bar where we spent a great New Years Eve!!! We ventured in to the square just before midnight for a great firework display and entertainment to welcome in 2017.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dharma Style Hotel; City: Rome Lazio; Review: A great little hotel! Only a 5 minute walk from the termini which is ideal for hopping on the buses, metro or tour buses. A 10-15 minute walk from some of Romes landmarks. When we arrived the reception staff (Alessandro) was extremely helpful and pointed out everything we needed to know, from info about the hotel to the best way to see the sites of Rome. The hotel was lovely and very clean, our room was great, we had booked a family room for the four of us and were impressed by its size as sometimes family rooms are very cramped. The decor was gorgeous and very modern looking but with a traditional edge to it also. The beds were comfortable and a good size. There was a huge tv on the wall, tea/coffee making facilities and a mini bar which were all welcomed after a busy day sight seeing. The bathroom was clean and modern with a good supply of towels (again, something as a family of 4 we have found lacking in previous hotels) and a hair dryer. Breakfast was served in a clean, comfy dining room with a good choice of things to eat/drink before heading out. The staff, again, were very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend a stay here as it's so accessible, the staff were great and the facilities absolutely spot on!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Martin s Brugge; City: Bruges West Flanders Province; Review: Great hotel in a perfect location for exploring the city. Just a stones throw from the Markt, Burg and Belfry. Shops, restaurants and all other amenities right on the door step. The hotel is extremely clean, comfortable and the hotel staff very pleasant and helpful. We had a family room for two adults and two teenagers and were pleasantly surprised by the size as we've previously been shoe-horned in to rooms that should only be classed as a double. The room was clean, beds comfy and a great view of the city sky line (complete with the sound of bells). We only stayed one night and really wished we had a few more to savour the beautiful city. Wasn't sure what to expect from Bruges itself but found it to be a beautiful place, extremely clean and picturesque views and vistas round every corner.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: EasyHotel Newcastle; City: Newcastle upon Tyne Tyne and Wear England; Review: Myself and my teenager were heading to Newcastle to surprise my eldest at Uni for his birthday. Didn't want a hotel that was anything fancy or too expensive or too far from the train station as was leaving the pack horse (Hubby) at home! Had a quick look on google and this hotel came up as the cheapest option so decided to risk it for one night. Was very pleasantly surprised by this great little hotel. On arrival the place is clean, modern and the staff inviting. Check-in was simple and the receptionist was lovely and chatty asking us about our stay etc. Our twin room was on the 4th floor and for the price we paid was well worth it. Again, it was clean, modern and had everything we needed for one night. The bathroom was spotless and looked brand new, the beds were comfy but for those who are vertically challenged you might need a leg up! The only downside we found was that room was really warm, we did turn the air con/heating unit down and opened the window which helped. You do have to pay extra for wi-Fi (as with many hotels) but also for tv access. To keep the teenager happy we purchased both so this added an extra £10 on to the cost of the room but worth it to keep Kevin entertained! The hotel was about a 10 minute walk from the station and there were lots of places to eat nearby. At the end of the road (not even a minutes walk) you'll find the Quayside which has places to eat drink and also great views of the Tyne bridge and Millenium Bridge so made a nice walk. For anyone looking for somewhere that's not too expensive and to use simply as a base for night out in the Toon you can't go wrong with this hotel. I'm sure that we'll be back again whilst the Uni student is up there avoiding the real world! In a nutshell clean, modern, great staff and on budget.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Beachcorner Bar & Grill; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: My "go-to" burger spot in the city. Burgers cooked to order on the grill and seasoned well. Reasonable prices. I recommend the bacon cheeseburger (medium well or well done) dressed ! The staff are friendly, always greets me by name. Good bar atmosphere (pool tables, slot machines, touchtunes music machine); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Domino's Pizza; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: I eat here average twice a month. Make sure you check your order before you leave of its carry out. The location is good (near bourbon street and the parade routes). The customer service is "ok". I've dealt with some great workers and some horrible workers. One day the "manager" told the cashier don't take any new orders until they sold the pizzas they had pre made (which was weird toppings nobody wanted). So several people left angry. But overall it's an ok place. It's just pizza !; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Five Happiness Chinese Restaurant; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Great food. Great service. Great prices. I've eat here at least twice a month. The food is really great.

Title: Port Of Call; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Port of Call has the best baked potatoes ever !!! It literally melts in your mouth. The burgers are really good too.

This place is always crowded and depending on when you go, the wait can be over an hour.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Blaze Pizza; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Good pizza joint ! Was my first time here. Heard great things about it from friends and coworkers so had to try it out. It's pretty much a "you make it, we bake it" pizza place. They have a wide variety of fresh ingredients. Setup is kinda like a subway. You select your crust type, then your sauce, then your toppings. The "make your own pizza" was about 9$. And if you check-in on YELP you get a free desert. Going on lunch was a bit hectic tho. The place isn't that big and it gets pretty crowded. But they do a good job at managing and keeping the lone moving.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Welty's Deli and Catering; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Welty's Deli is one of my favorite lunch spot in the CBD ! They salads are HUGE and always fresh. The sandwiches are great as well. I eat here at least once a week. My favorites are the Traditional Chef Salad or the California Club Sandwich. If you get a sandwich, be sure to check out the 'Lagniappe Bar', which has TONS of different kind of toppings and mayos and mustard. They also do catering. My job orders from them occasionally, and Ms. Tina always makes it an easy pleasant experience (and they deliver !). I highly recommend checking out this deli. The staff here is amazing. Always very friendly and delivers excellent customer service.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: McDonald's; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: I visit this McDonald's every weekend for breakfast. The crew members know my order by me let now.

I've been coming to this location for awhile, and the improvement on customer service is extremely evident.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bayou Bicycles; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: I've been to Bayou Bicycles several times and it's always a pleasant experience. I've had 2 bicycles repaired here and with both repairs, the repairman was very knowledgeable and took time to explain to me what needed to be done. The cost of repairs is reasonable compared to other bike shops. The accessories (bike lights, horns, seats, etc.) are kind of pricey compared to online shopping, but they have a wide variety of accessories available. I definitely recommend Bayou Bicycles.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | yelp |

We have had to take a break from it for a while. There is a scene that a character says, "No! Noooo! Noooo!" Innocent enough the little character (Curly Bear) was embarrassed and hiding when she needed to go potty. However, my child got this little "no" and started saying it a lot in the same defiant sound Curly Bear said it in. Just something to be aware of and prepare for.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

The only down side is the placement of the bathroom. The door squeezed very loudly and woke everyone else ever time one of us had to go the bathroom. The breakfast selection was a nice change. The eggs were not runny or cold. The apple juice was delicious!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Place Charlotte Airport Lake Pointe; City: Charlotte North Carolina; Review: The location of the hotel was perfect for us. Just far enough away from the business of cars to be comfortable. The staff was super friendly and the rooms were clean and spacious. The breakfast selection is one of my favorites in any hotel chain,; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Place Fort Myers at The Forum; City: Fort Myers Florida; Review: The rooms were clean and roomy. The location is a little out of the way, but not too far off the main road. It's quiet outside and pretty surroundings. The staff was not very pleasant though. We will probably choose a different Hyatt next time we visit Fort Myers.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Regency St Louis at The Arch; City: Saint Louis Missouri; Review: It was our first time in St Louis so the roads were confusing, but once we got to the valet parking we were pleased. They were so nice and made sure we had everything out of the car before we went in to check in! Upon check in, we were treated with a very bubble receptionist with the biggest smile! The rooms were so pretty, clean, and new! The location to the Arch and restaurants were perfect! The only down side is that we went for a Metallica concert and there were hundreds of people trying to use the elevators. Two of them were not in use so it took us almost 45 minutes to get on the elevator.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Place Charlotte Arrowood; City: Charlotte North Carolina; Review: Upon checking, we were greeted very pleasantly! Our check in was super fast! It’s located nicely between Carowinds and surrounding areas! The rooms are what you would expect from a Hyatt. It was very quiet as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Land of Painted Caves; Author: Visit Amazon's Jean M. Auel Page; Review: After reading all the negative reviews I almost didn't bother to buy this book, but finally decided to finish the series since I started it 30 years ago. The quality of the writing has no changed much, and while I must admit that it dragged along in parts, I'm glad I decided to read it. It concludes the story, though I must admit that I expected some kind of a Durc appearance. Though it wasn't wonderful I have no complaints. I knew what I was getting in for and was not disappointed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Off the Cuff and Over the Collar: Common Sense Catholicism; Author: John McCarthy; Review: I would like to respond to some of those who rated this book as a one star. First, the comment about pictures: Personally I like priests and bishops who can smile. When you have come to know God, even just a little bit, you know that God loves us. If for no other reason, this is why Bishop McCarthy smiles. He is doing God's work, and he knows that God loves him. By watching Bishop McCarthy's face during Mass, one can see the glory of God in His work through Bishop John. Before I let this review get too long, I must comment on the "heretical" statement. If Bishop McCarthy teaches "heresy", what must you think of Pope Francis. Personally, I thank God for Pope Francis just as I thank Him for Bishop John. Incidentally, I do not fear posting my name. I am Clarence N. (Larry) Hansen, a Permanent Deacon in the Diocese of Austin.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SILVER BORNE: A MERCY THOMPSON NOVEL; Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Briggs Page; Review: This was a good story, and a fast read. Being a fast read cuts both ways, one doesn't have as much time to enjoy the writing, but one can get to the next novel faster. I had previously read all of the stories in this series, but not in the order in which they had been written. This one feels as if it was required by the publisher,and Ms. Briggs was simply providing an acceptable story. Unfortunately for this book, her others are better written, their order is better, and as a result this one suffers. It is hard for all one's work to be excellent. This one suffers in comparison, but was still enjoyable, and was worth the reread.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Moon Called; Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Briggs Page; Review: Well written. Story is well organized. Grammar, etc. Are all good. While Ms. Briggs writes well, the stories soon begin to be too alike. Never the less, I enjoy her work, and am pleased to recommend her books.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: River Marked (Mercy Thompson, Book 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Briggs Page; Review: A good book is fun to read. A great book is so much more. Ms. Briggs tells a very entertaining story, then she throws in some excitement, history, philosophy and theology as well. Finally, she uses good grammar and interesting vocabulary. This is a very good read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Frost Burned (Mercy Thompson); Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Briggs Page; Review: This read was my second time around of the Mercy Thompson series (this time in chronological order). my only complaint is that the book was almost a group of short stories. Never the less the story works, the writing is great, and it deserves five stars.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Night Broken: A Mercy Thompson Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Briggs Page; Review: Some authors are so good that you can even enjoy a bad story. Fortunately this is a very good story, the writing is great and the various plot lines meld seamlessly. A wonderful read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fire Touched: Mercy Thompson Book 9; Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Briggs Page; Review: I don't usually like short stories. Being short usually means that the author doesn't have the time or the space to adequately create backgrounds for the characters or the scenes. Ms. Briggs makes her stories long enough to create well organized scenarios, and we already know the characters. This book is an entertaining read, and we get to learn more about the characters we have grown accustomed to. This is a good read, well worth having in your library.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Masques; Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Briggs Page; Review: Masques, the first book of the Sianim series is a good start for the readers who will appreciate a new tale by Patricia Briggs. The plot is well thought out, but the ending was a bit forced. Never-the-less a very enjoyable read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Earthquake Storms: The Fascinating History and Volatile Future of the San Andreas Fault; Author: Visit Amazon's John Dvorak Page; Review: Has good information, but the text seems to over cover the issues being raised. Too much time is spent on the history of the individuals, rather than on the science and mechanics involved in faults. The text also puts much emphasis on the situation in California, as the title suggests, but an overview and comparison with other fault lines would have been a welcome addition. The book does provide information that a lay person can understand making some good science available to the general public.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day - The Inside Story; Brand: Led Zeppelin; Review: I have always enjoyed Led Zeppelin, but the dvds and music far exceeded my expectations. I have either listened to the CD or dvds sinceII got it in the mail. The only thing I wish is that Amazon would add the mp3s to my cloud. So far only 6be of the 16candy have been added. If you remotely like Zeppelin, then you will want the whole collection.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ; Brand: Five Finger Death Punch; Review: I have supported this band ever since they performed for us while deployed to Iraq. They put adrenaline fueled music with an infectious rhythm and the double bass just takes it over the top. Great part 2, but could stand on it's own.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Influence; Brand: Little Caesar; Review: I bought this CD back in tne day. I kind of agree with all 5 previous comments, but the song I wore out listening to was Slow Ride. This album is a little different than first as it added a bit of grit and fun. For me first album was a bit average. I just sampled the rest of their catalog, and Influence remains my favorite. I also like Rum & Coke/Ballad of Johnny, but each song I would listen to without skipping to the next track.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_CDs_and_Vinyl |

The hosts, Tony and Vanessa are very special people and their hospitality is "10 stars". Accomodation excellent, very spacious, very clean and most of all, very welcoming. I honestly felt as if I had come home. This will always be the place I stay at, whenever I visit the area. The staff carry on the excellent hospitality and the surroundings are pure paradise.I could go on and on but will end by saying how much my life was enriched by meeting Tony and Vanessa and spending time at Hildesheim.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Hildesheim Guest House; City: Wilderness Western Cape; Review: It's been 3 years since my last visit and it was as special as before. Tony and Vanessa are such amazing hosts. The beauty and peace of Hildesheim is amazing and as far as I am concerned this is the only place to stay when you are in the Wilderness area. The staff are so caring and the rooms are spotless. Tony is a wealth if information and both he and Vanessa go out of their way to make your visit really special. It is always very sad for me to leave and I have promised myself that my next visit will be much sooner than 3 years! Thank you my dear friends for a very special visit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tradouw Guest House; City: Barrydale Overberg District Western Cape; Review: It was a first time visit and Tradouw Guesthouse really lived up to its reviews. Leon welcomed us like old friends and the accommodation was very comfortable. The area is stunning and Barrydale is so peaceful and friendly. The shower was superb and the breakfast very homely. Leon was very thoughtful and made dinner reservations for both nights. This is a very unique guesthouse and the furnishings and décor take one back to the years when we were growing up which was a good trip down memory lane. I highly recommend Tradouw as a stop if you are heading in the Barrydale direction and another huge plus is that it is very gay friendly. Thanks so much, Leon and Denis.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Anha Casa Guest House; City: Hermanus Overstrand Overberg District Western Cape; Review: What a wonderful "home away from home". Anna and Hardy are so warm and welcoming and the guest house is immaculate and tasteful. The breakfast is delicious and beautifully served. Nothing is too much trouble. The location is just a short walk from the centre of Hermanus and saves one the hassle of finding parking. The attention to detail was really appreciated and the level of comfort was excellent. Definitely the best place to stay in Hermanus. Thank you Anna and Hardy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Desert Quail Inn Sedona at Bell Rock; City: Sedona Arizona; Review: This is a really good place to stay. The room is spotless and very comfortable.If you are happy with simple accomadation, then this is the place. It is in the Village of Oak Creek and has numerous restaurants and shops very nearby.The view of Bell Rock and Cathedral rock is awesome. You just need to step outside of your room and walk a few feet to the road and there they are! Its a short drive to Sedona and the scenery is breathtaking. Well worth a visit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Anha Casa Guest House; City: Hermanus Overstrand Overberg District Western Cape; Review: The second visit was even better. Once again Anna and Hardy were gracious hosts.

In my opinion, the only place to stay while visiting Hermanus.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

I was hoping he was waterproof to put outside, but not sure if he would hold up so he's an inside guy. I stuffed him with bubble wrap and it worked well. The only thing, in the back where you stuff him, if you have big hands you will have to get some help because the opening is pretty small. I had no problem because my hands are small.

Title: Lantoo Dog Seat Cover, Large Back Seat Pet Seat Cover Hammock for Cars, Trucks, SUVs with Nonslip Backing, Side; Brand: Lantoo; Review: Keep the hair completely off the carpet and seat until the zippers on the sides broke. I am very disappointing, we travel a ton with our dogs so wee use it frequently and my dogs aren't hard on it, they are English bulldogs so they don't really move a whole lot yet from just zipping and unzipping we lost the zippers on the side. I will buy a different one in the future, very bummed, if the zippers were not cheap I would keep buying this product. originally I gave it five stars until zippers broke.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: ATI Mosin Nagant 7.62x54R Monte Carlo Stock; Brand: ATI; Review: I like the way this stock is balanced. It does take some work to get the proper clearance for (at least my) ejector and interrupter, which while testing it I bent the bar on it and couldn't get the right tension back into it to feed and eject properly. I ended up buying a spare of each for cheap online and it's worked great since. The seam where the stock is molded is a little sharp though, but a little fine sanding took care of that.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Weaver Base System; Brand: Weaver; Review: Bought the 2 piece mounts at Gander to mount a cheapy scope before my Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 came in, and found that it didn't mount the rings close enough to actually allow the scope to fit. Had to order this, and it works fine.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ruger 90417 10/22 Laser Max Laser; Brand: Ruger; Review: Fits perfectly on a synthetic stock, extends the length slightly though. On a wooden stock the handguard where the cutout for the barrel band starts is larger than the laser body, so it looks somewhat awkward, but it's fine for synthetic.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Galco King Tuk Tuckable Inside The Waistband Holster Smith & Wesson M&P Fullsize, Compact Leather and Kydex Black; Brand: Galco Gunleather; Review: I almost returned this when I saw the kydex wasn't at all shaped like it was molded for the M&P, and it didn't seem to even go in all the way, until I checked the model number imprinted on the leather and saw this wasn't the wrong model sent to me and then I pushed it with a little more force, where it sat fine. Still not even close to being molded like the M&P, but it sits. The mold may not have been made using an M&P, which is disappointing because the DeSantis leather/kydex holster I bought for my LC9s was molded perfectly to the model gun, but it fits, is surprisingly comfortable, and actually conceals a full sized pistol very well. Another gripe is, even with the DeSantis holster having plastic clips and this one having metal, is that without a belt, the DeSantis is very hard to remove from your pants, meaning drawing is effortless, whereas this one, if you don't have a belt (like I was when I was first trying it out), drawing is extremely easy, except the entire holster comes with it, which may be less than desirable. Probably. Most Likely. Wearing a belt does hold the holster acceptably well though. I just wish the holster was molded to the actual gun, and not from a generic pistol (or maybe it's after a random brand of M&P C02 guns I've seen that had slight variances in the trigger guard)as it seems to have been made. I'm going to keep it for now to see how I like it over time, and maybe those gripes will be less important if it holds up. Also as others have noted the leather doesn't match with the slide/beavertail of the gun, but it hasn't proven to be uncomfortable for me.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: LOCKDOWN 222177 Magnetic Barrel Rest; Brand: LOCKDOWN; Review: Bought to add to my smallish gun safe to support some rimfire rifles and shotgun barrels that didn't reach the safes own barrel rests. Magnetic back is nicely padded to not damage the walls, and the rests are also soft and don't have any point that could damage the barrels. The plastic surrounding decorative unit could be a little less gaudy and more space conscious though.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: CONDOR Rip-Away EMT Pouch; Brand: CONDOR; Review: Bought this to attach to a "bug out bag" that's really just to have access to emergency stuff in the car or truck if I go hunting or my wife and I go camping or a long road trip and we get stranded. The pouch attaches nicely to the Molle straps on the bag and holds the entire contents of a 123 piece outdoor first aid kit with room to spare, especially when I learn to adult and can organize things properly. Seems to be of a rugged construction and doesn't feel like it will wear easily over time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Genuine Military Surplus Mosin Nagant M38 M44 91/30 1891 91 30 7.62x54 Leather Cartridge Ammo Ammunition Rounds Dual Pouch; Brand: ESKS; Review: It smells just like Russia. A little hard to get the straps to lock into the posts but it'll probably just be a small break in period.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hide & Drink Cowboy Buzy Beer Holster Handmade Bourbon Brown; Brand: Hide & Drink; Review: Bought this for my country loving drinking friend for his birthday. Ironically and disappointingly his birthday coincided with some time spent on probation for a DUI. He's an idiot. He "learned his lesson" and once he was off probation I gave it to him. He loves it. But don't be stupid, don't drink and drive. It's not worth it. Maybe you'll be lucky to have a good supportive friend. Nice soft leather.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Everstryke Match Pro Lighter - Waterproof Fire Starter Especially for Survival and Emergency Use; Brand: Everstryke; Review: I'll start by saying this is not very windproof. I tested it out a few times since receiving it, and a small wind can easily blow it out. It's not necessarily a bad thing though because it's easy to extinguish and it's ridiculously tiny. It only takes a small amount of fuel (I used Zippo fluid) but it seems to be sealed tight enough that it will hold it for a good while. The flame is small but enough to start a fire, which I did earlier tonight to burn some boxes. I keep a small van of Zippo fluid in my camping bag so I have it hanging on a zipper pull and it holds pretty well. I do already have some waterproof matches in the bag but this is a nicely made alternative or supplement incase they run out.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bianchi 57 Remedy Open-Top Ruger LC9 LC380 Right Hand Holster; Brand: Bianchi; Review: I bought the same model holster for my M&P 40 full size. I liked how comfortable it was to wear and how it fit the pistol. I have a leather/kydex holster for both my M&P and LC9s, but didn't have a OWB holster for the LC9. I liked the old Bianchi well enough, decided to stick with the same. It fits great, is comfortable, and is very well made of high quality leather.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Winmau Blade 4 Bristle Dartboard; Brand: Winmau; Review: I had an old dartboard that the web was hanging off and half of the throws resulted in bounce outs.

Title: Viper Chalk Scoreboard: Cricket and 01 Dart Games, Green; Brand: Viper by GLD Products; Review: Chalk will barely leave a mark on this board. I've tried the chalk that came with it, chalk I had sitting around, new chalk, I've tried priming it, I've tried pressing hard and pressing lightly, this board just doesn't have the texture needed to be in any way useful as a chalkboard.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Sports_and_Outdoors |

Title: Lady Hamilton Hotel; City: Stockholm; Review: This is a nice old fashion hotel located in perfect surroundings in the outer corner of Gamla Stan. The rooms are nicely decorated and have always been tidy and clean when I have stayed there. Most of the restaurants are in the far end of the walking street that starts just around the corner. Dont be afraid when the church bells are ringing - it is normal; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Le Chatelain Hotel; City: Brussels; Review: I have now stayed at Le Chatelain Hotel more than a couple of times and I have always enjoyed them. The rooms are nice and classic. Things are always working and there is a warm feeling to it. The hotel location is great; close to the trams that will take you quickly to the more touristic parts of Brussels. BUT down mistreat yourself - you are in one of the best parts of Brussels with numerous bars and restaurants just around the corner. The best part is the area around Place Chatelain - and you are in town on a Wednesday night just go there because it is just fabulous.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Hotel Sign; City: Stockholm; Review: One of my preferred hotels in Stockholm. Nice rooms - especillly the ones that face the square. I like the design furniture in the rooms and also the beds, which are in great quality. Room service is good if you are working late. Modern hotel with many nice features like the design, misic in the entrance, fast check-in & -out, breakfast, taxi service and so on. Nice in house restaurant but a big pricy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Berns Hotel; City: Stockholm; Review: Lovely hotel that I keep on returning too. The rooms can be small but everything works and the staff is great. The location is great, especially in the summer. Nice restaurant just underneath the rooms. Breakfast is delightful and eaten in fabulous surroundings. The look in the rooms are slightly maritime and I love the wood work that is put into the rooms; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crystal Plaza Hotel; City: Stockholm; Review: This hotel is all about location. This is without a doubt one of the bet areas in Stockholm during the summer because you are in the middle of things. It can at times be quite noisy, especially in late evenings, so when you book a room ask to have one as high as possible. The hotel rooms are fair; the one I had the last time was pretty big which was nice. The beds are quite hard - nothing I don't mind too much, but beware of that. The breakfast is fair as well and it is very easy to get a taxi from this hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Strawberry Inn Suites; City: Knoxville Tennessee; Review: Located 15 km from the center of Knoxville. The room was okay but nothing special and the colors almost looked like time had stood still for many years. The room was mostly decorated in red colors but I didn’t care about that as long as the bed was huge and high. The room was a normal standard room, but with good ground space. The room was a handicap room so there was a lot of space on the floor. The Wi-Fi was free and worked okay. There was free parking just in front of the hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Grandezza; City: Brno South Moravian Region Moravia; Review: I was quite surprised about my stay in Hotel Grandezza. Everything was perfect; the room, the service, location and the food - you name it - everything was perfect. I will definitely return to this fabulous hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hetman Hotel; City: Warsaw Mazovia Province Central Poland; Review: I was not sure what to expect when we entered the hotel but first impression from the reception was really nice. We took the elevator to the 4th floor and entered a room that was really nice and large. The 3 beds were far from each other, the beds were quite comfortable and there was even a balcony where we could go out for some fresh air. The bathroom was new and really nice in size. The neighborhood was also better than I expected and it was only 3 stops with a tram and then you were in the city center. Overall I was pleasantly surprised with the service from the hotel as well. It turned out to be a great stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Baymont by Wyndham Litchfield; City: Litchfield Illinois; Review: The room was nice in both size and color scheme. The colors were kept in brown, beige and red. The centerpiece was a huge king size bed – the kind that you only find in the States; huge and high. The furniture was on the other hand a bit dull, except for a red toned armchair in the far end of the room. The entrance of the room was kind of funny, because one side of the small hall was a part of the bathroom with a huge mirror and a sink. Opposite there was an entrance to the bathroom, so the sink also functioned as an open kitchen with a fridge underneath the mirror. The room felt really nice and the Wi-Fi was quite fast and enjoyed using it. The hotel provided me with a good night sleep and I must say I seldom get disappointed at Holiday Inn Express in the States.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kinzie Hotel; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: I parked in front of the hotel and I noticed that they had valet parking, which price was quite steep. The valet parking was almost 20 dollar more expensive than all the other places that I had used before but I decided to use it anyway as I just wanted to get in and relax. The price was 47 dollar a night, so you can say that it was paid. I was quite surprised when I saw the hotel from the outside as the hotel looked really huge and it not something that I had expected. The valet guys were all over me when I arrived at the hotel and I took out my stuff and gave them the car keys and went to the reception inside. The lounge area in front of the reception was quite full of people but it was also quite small compared to the huge hotel. The reception was two small desks with a girl sitting behind in an office chair. My receptionist found my booking quite fast and I was given a room on second floor, which I was okay with. My room was quite nice and I especially liked my bed. It was large and pretty high, which is a fact that I like because beds in European hotels are usually quite low. The room was really bright and the Wi-Fi worked quite well. The bathroom was nice and I liked my room a lot.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Meresuu Spa and Hotel; City: Narva Joesuu Ida Viru County; Review: After looking around I decided to book the Meresuu Spa & Hotel because it was a large hotel with a fair price and rating. We arrived at the hotel close to 9 am and it was both raining and very dark. I was quite pleased that I had picked a large hotel that my GPS could find because it was mighty dark. The hotel was huge if I compared to everything else that I could see in the area. I parked the car in the free parking just outside the main entrance. I hurried in the rain into the reception where a couple of young persons standing in the reception greeted me, and luckily they both spoke quite good English. The managed to find my booking and gave me a room on the sixth floor. The room was smaller than I had anticipated but it was still quite okay. There was a king size bed and a desk where I could work. The problem was that I could not make the Wi-Fi work in my room. I was travelling with one of my friends and he had gotten a room next to that was a bit larger. Because it was quite late we decided to eat in the restaurant in the hotel, so we decided to meet in the restaurant. The restaurant was completely empty when we arrived and we decided to settle with their buffet and a couple of beers. The meal was nothing special; it was like something you have at work. It was the same place that they served the breakfast the following morning and I was not impressed with that either. We decided to visit their piano bar in the basement to have a drink and it was quite a plastic bar with all black furniture and laud music. Their mojito was quite nice but that was also all positive that you could say about the place but it was also outside their season. I slept very well because it was dark and very quiet. The shower was really nice and I took a long warm shower because the autumn had really entered Estonia the day before. The price was fair.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Latinski Most; City: Sarajevo Sarajevo Canton; Review: This hotel is really nice and well rebuilt. The staff were enormously friendly and service minded. The room we had was nice and with a nice little balcony facing the old town and Latinski Most (bridge). The location is really amazing; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Indianapolis East; City: Indianapolis Indiana; Review: I arrived Fairfield inn Suite in Indianapolis around midnight after a drive where I had been quite tired. I parked in front of the hotel and at that moment I really appreciated that fact that they had valet parking. I went in and got my room pretty fast after joking a bit with the receptionist that had some problems finding my Danish name in the system. They didn’t have minibar in the room so a bought some of water and went up to my room that turned out to really nice. I liked the bed that was a high king size. The room had a nice airy size and the colors used in the room were relaxing. The bathroom was of a really good quality and everything was functioning, as it should. The hotel was nice, fresh in the colors and it was located close to some of the largest museums in the city.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Alkisti City Hotel; City: Larnaca Larnaka District; Review: When I booked I made sure to state that I would be arriving late as I was off tourist season. Very shortly thereafter I received a lot of communication from the hosts telling me how to find the hotel and where to retrieve the key as the reception was closed at my arrival. The must funny part was that the key would be hidden in a ventilator shaft on the outside wall of the hotel. I arrived in Larnaca around 9.30 pm and even with the description from the hosts I still had some difficulties finding the hotel but with some help from the locals I made it. Then there was the issue about the key. I found the ventilation shaft but when I opened it there was no key with my name on it. There were some other keys with names on but not mine. While I was standing there trying to figure out what to do, taking one the others keys, calling the hosts the door, suddenly opened and out came a woman. I asked her about the key and it turned out she was the owner and she had borrowed my key to get in to the house. She was very sorry but it all turned out well. My room was quite far from the room I had in Valetta, Malta, as it was more of a summer holiday place. The colors were bright and colorful and the condition of the room was sparser but everything worked and I found my bed quite nice even though it was quite narrow. I quickly left my room and headed for the restaurant next door to get something to eat before they closed. The city was quite empty and I was the only customer in the restaurant to begin with and there only arrived a couple besides me during my stay. Next morning I woke up to a magnificent sunshine and taking the curtains away gave me a nice view of the large square and the breakfast restaurants next door. They didn’t serve breakfast at the hotel but they had an arrangement with one of the restaurants on the square. The view from the balconies around the house displayed some nice views and also a nice quiet backyard of the hotel. The owner were also running a real estate dealer and they were at work there so I could pay for my room. They were really sweet and friendly, giving all kind of advices about the sites of the city. The location of the hotel was great; it was close to one of the major attractions of the city – the picturesque St Lazarus Church and very close to the beach. There are also loads of shops, bars and restaurants close by and it would be quite perfect for a beach vacation. The hotel also had free parking close by.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Freeport Brunswick; City: Freeport Maine; Review: Nice quiet hotel with the normal Hampton Inn quality in rooms. Friendly service at the front desk. Free wi-fi and parking quite close to the entrance. Some restaurants nearby if you are looking for food as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Four Points by Sheraton Toronto Mississauga; City: Mississauga Ontario; Review: It was my first stay in a Four Points by Sheraton Hotel and I had just been looking for a fair priced hotel near Toronto Pearson International Airport because I knew that I would be arriving late in Toronto. I was pretty happy to find out that it was easy to find from the airport as I was really surprised by the cold weather of Toronto. I found a parking space for my small rental car just outside the entrance of the hotel. In front of the entrance a huge tourist bus was parked and hoped that the reception desk was not full of people checking-in to the hotel. It turned out that the hotel had been newly renovated and everything looked shining and wonderful as I entered the hotel lobby. Luckily there were no one in the reception and a really service minded young man helped me get my room. When he found out that I was a SPG program member the service became even better. My room was pretty nice; everything smelt fresh and new. The room was pretty spacious something that I always wishes for after all my night in small European hotels. There was a huge king size bed, which is one most amazing things for me as well so I was up for a good start on my trip. It turned out that the bed was a so-called plush Four Points by Sheraton Four Comfort Beds™. I didn’t care much about the name but it was really nice bed to sleep in. The room was really comfortable and even though it was close to the airport I was not able to hear any noise from the planes taking off or landing. One of the walls in the room was red while the other ones were soft beige. The carpet though was an odd patterned brown one but the room worked out well anyway. There was a comfortable armchair in the corner next to the window and there was a nice desk to work from as well. The flat screen was on the wall and the bathroom was nice both in size and look. The hotel also had free High Speed Internet Access, which made it a very good place to work from as well. One thing that I have learned by crossing the Atlantic a couple of times or more is that I have to get in the local time as quickly as possible to avoid jetlag. I therefore decided to go down and get something to eat in the hotel restaurant that had looked popular when I entered the hotel. The Rejuven8 Restaurant and Lounge had some great meals, and plenty of different beers to test out. The food and beer selection was great and I managed to taste a couple of beers that I never had seen before. I was staying at the hotel for two nights and it turned out that they also served a good breakfast the same place for 10 Canadian $.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Adria; City: Dubrovnik Dubrovnik Neretva County Dalmatia; Review: I was looking for a hotel in Dubrovnik but I was out way too late and the hotels close to the Old Town cost a fortune so we decided to take a hotel 3 kilometer away from there and a hotel that also had parking for our car. We ended up choosing the Hotel Adria that was located on the main road north of Dubrovnik, because the reviews and the price seemed more than fair. For a change we found the hotel quite easily and parked the car just outside the hotel entrance where we were lucky to find a spot. The hotel turned out to be quite new, large and located far away from the water and about 120 meters above sea level. The guy in the reception was extremely service minded and really friendly. He cave us a room on the 6th floor that actually meant that we had to go down with the elevator. The room was large and very modern in its appearance and it felt quite rewarding after over stay in Kotor. There was a balcony facing the water and some islands, but there was also a house just in front of us. The room was perfect and with astonishing beds. The hotel bar and restaurant where they served the breakfast had both amazing views, because there was nothing in front of the hotel at this level. I took advantage of that view the following day when a storm passed and got some great shots of the lightning. The breakfast of the hotel was really nice and then with view it made it even better. The Wi-Fi in the room worked well, there was even a shuttle going down to the Old Town of Dubrovnik and otherwise a cab fare would set you back 10 Euro in order to get there from the hotel, which I found quite fair. It was a great hotel but the location was far from optimal if you can't afford to take a taxi. There is a bus stop near the hotel as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Phoenicia Malta; City: Valletta Island of Malta; Review: It turned out that the hotel was fairly large and I was impressed by the size of the entrance hall, when I walked in. There was an enormous amount of people in the hall when I entered and all of them were dressed up for a wedding party. The receptionist found my booking and gave me a room on the sixth floor, which was on the top floor of the hotel. The hotel had some years on its back but it was one of these hotels that had aged with stile. The halls that I passed were all broad and nicely decorated and I had the same experience when I entered my room. The room had a nice size with a huge king size bed as the centerpiece. I went to the windows and opened them; I had a great view of some of the harbor area and the lights of the city were shining towards me like stars. The interior was classic without being outdated. The walls where in soft white colors except for the wall behind the bed that was brown patterned. The bathroom was quite large and it was an old school with white tiles everywhere. I was quite pleased with what I had gotten. The hotel was located pretty well just next to the central bus station and one of the old entrances to the old part of Valetta. After my walk in the city center I returned to the hotel only to find it completely full of weddings guests in the lounge areas and in the garden. It turned out that the wedding party had more than 700 guests and they were everywhere. I managed to find a bar with a very skilled waiter and his skills were so good that I ended up being quite tipsy before I headed up for bed to a good night of sleep. I was heading for Cypress the following day but first at 2 pm so I decided to skip breakfast and sleep long the following day. It was certainly a hotel that I could return to but next time I would ask if they have a huge wedding there because it kind of limited my usage of the garden area and the nice balcony they had.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hestia Hotel Maestro; City: Tallinn Harju County; Review: The entrance to the hotel was a narrow passage into a staircase and a small elevator. I took the elevator up to the second floor and the reception area. The area was quite busy when I arrived and there was only one woman behind the reception desk. I started by saying that I would cancel my 2nd night and that didn’t seem to go positive in her mind even though she charged me full for the night. She was more than busy with her friend staying next to me at the counter but she finally took time to give me a key to my room that was located on the same floor as the reception. It was a funny way to reach the room, I was passing so many corners in getting there that I thought that I was walking in circles. I finally reached my room and found it quite dull with its dark colors and view towards the backyard. The room had a double bed but the quality was not the best. The walls were cover with green-grey broad striped wallpaper that gave the room a gloomier look than classy that they probably had hoped for. The carpet was dark grey and looked quite dirty, but I am sure that it was a clean as it could get but time and loads of spilled drinks and dirty shoes had made its effort to destroy it. The bathroom was okay size but it was quite boring but functional enough. I didn’t stay long before I left the hotel to find a parking space for my car and the hotel recommended that I parked at the public parking under the square that was located only 300 meters away. I came back around 1 am and I hardly could enter the street because there was a street party going on from one of the neighboring bars. There were 10-15 people standing in the narrow doorway to the hotel but they all stepped apart when I was going for the entrance. I guess that some could feel intimidated by the shire fact that there were loads of drunken people in front of your hotel entrance but the youngsters behaved quite nicely.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Manos Premier Hotel; City: Saint Gilles Brussels; Review: It is a very nice little hotel; cozy, relaxing and classy in the old style. Located a bit (500m) away from the notorious Avenue Louise. Neighbor to many spa and wellness places along the Chausseé de Charleroi. The Wi-Fi works well and you are given the possibility of having two accesses. The bed in my room was really great. Nice large flat screen TV with many channels. The breakfast was nice as well. The best part of the hotel is the service and secludedness in a place that is located not far from the best areas of Brussels. The hotel is much more a holiday hotel than a business hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel; City: Stockholm; Review: This hotel is located close to the central station of Stockholm and almost next to the train Arlanda Expressen's stop in Stockholm, which makes it easy to access. The rooms are nice and the quality is generally high compared to some of the closest hotels. The restaurant was okay but there are many alternatives near by. It is a good stay but also a bit pricy compared to some of the neighboring hotels.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Elite Hotel Adlon; City: Stockholm; Review: The location is perfect if you are arriving by train from Arlanda Airport. The room I was given was quite small and facing the street on first floor on top of a very lively bar, which meant that it was quite noisy. There is wifi and it worked well. The hotel is near to numerous bars and restaurants.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Hotel Arlanda Airport; City: Arlandastad Sigtuna Municipality; Review: I was given a room on the 10th floor with a view of the completely snow covered airport. I was really fascinated with view of the snow covered airport and the machines driving on the tarmac to remove the snow that came back as fast as it was removed. The room was large and quite surprising; the bed was huge and with a special headboard that was quite decorative. The bed was really fluffy with huge pillows. One the best features of the room were that it was nicely decorated like in a modern example of a classic romantic hotel theme. The longest wall in the room was decorated with flower picture wallpaper in a huge frame. The windows were huge almost going the whole way from ceiling to floor and facing the airport that hardly was visible in the snowstorm. There was a small desk in the corner of the room facing the window; the chair supporting the table was really comfortable. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly and the room features also a 42-inch flat screen on the wall, which was of the largest that I have had in a hotel room. The bathroom was large and spacious with a huge shower section. It was one of the nicest bathrooms that I have seen in ages.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Royal Palace Hotel Hanoi; City: Hanoi; Review: This place has a fabulous ratio between quality and price. The service and friendliness of the staff is amazing. The location of the hotel is great and the hotel is really helpful if you have any needs. One point that could be improved is the power of the wifi but it is easy to borrow that from a neighbouring hotel in your room. There are very nice cafés and restaurants in the area.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Hotel Brussels; City: Brussels; Review: It was my first stay at The Hotel and I must say that I was not disappointed. I managed to get an udgrade offer and I was given a room on 22nd floor - and what a view looking down at the wonderful city. The room was really nice and felt very spacious. The Wifi worked excellently and the lounge on 24th floor was a great place to relax and just enjoy. The location is great as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Roemischer Kaiser; City: Bernkastel Kues Rhineland Palatinate; Review: The hotel is located next to the Mosel River and very close to the picturesque village of Bernkastel-Kues. The reception is on the first floor of the pink hotel. There is possibility to park you car near the hotel at the quay, the hotel has a couple of parking spaces but there can be an issue parking your car there in the summer. The hotel has a main entrance and one other it shares with a small club from where you can get a lift up to your floor. I had a nice corner room on the second with 3 large windows that gave me a great view of the river and the large cargo boats sailing by. The room turned out to be quite cold with the large corner windows and I was not too fond of my bed but otherwise the room was clean as always in Germany. Everything was in order and there were a couple of flowers in the room in order to bring some coziness in the room. The bathroom was really nice with a glass sink and an orchid in front of the mirror. The toilet was very low and I remember laughing about how small the toilet was and low it was, thinking about how tall Germans are. There are nice restaurants near the hotel and there is no doubt that the location is perfect for wine tasting and visits in the beautiful area. The village of Bernkastel-Kues is truly beautiful and while we were there we had the village almost for ourselves, which will not be the case the closer you get to summer. The breakfast was served in the small café on the ground floor and with fixed seating at the few tables.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Al Fogher; City: Treviso Province of Treviso Veneto; Review: The room was nice and quiet, and I had a great balcony. The food was okay in their restaurant, the wifi worked so-so - it didn't work in the restaurant, which was a bit annoying. The hotel had their own parking spaces and they were just outside the hotel next to the gas station and they were free. The hotel was located a bit outside the city center and there was not much to do in the neighborhood.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Principe di Piemonte; City: Cuneo Province of Cuneo Piedmont; Review: Very friendly staff, really service minded. Parking just outside the hotel. Wifi worked well. The room a little bit cramped, The location was amazing - I loved staying in the middle of town, near bars, restaurants and shops. Market on the square on some weekdays, which is great. I was housed in the back of the hotel and I needed to take two lifts to get to my room - just complicated and I had a view directly into a fire escape staircase - but that is what is happening quite often when I book a room for single occupancy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Nidya Hotel Galataport; City: Istanbul; Review: The hotel Nidya is relatively new hotel. The taxi driver who took me there from the Ataturk airport stated that it was only five months old, which one of the guys in the reception confirmed. The hotel is located down hill from the Taksim Square. The Taksim Square is a major tourist and leisure district famed for its restaurants, shops, and hotels. It is considered the heart of modern Istanbul, with the central station of the Istanbul Metro network. The hotel is situated near the water not far from the Modern Art museum. The location is actually quite nice because it gives you good possibilities to walk to many sites. I arrived just after sundown and the drive from the airport took close to one hour due to rush hour, it can actually take up to two hours if everything goes wrong. The taxi driver was a nice guy who knew the city after more than 28 years of driving in Istanbul. He asked me to code the phone number of the hotel, so he could be sure to find the hotel straight away. The hotel had a nice appearance and I was received by a bell-boy at the entrance. He took my bag and guided me to the reception where my reservation already was ready. I was told that I was given an upgrade and I was given a room on fifth floor facing the road and the water, which turned out to bed great the following morning. The room was well designed in soft colors and lightwood everywhere. There was a closet just at the entrance with a safe and morning robe. The room was fairly large and it felt really well entering it. I liked the design that felt light, bright and relaxing. The colors were used well with the lightwood and dark brown curtains and beige bed cover. There was a nice long desk a flat screen on the wall. There was a nice bench to put the suitcase and there was a fridge with some cold drinks that could come in handy. The bathroom was nice with a modern design in all the appliances. I arrived pretty late at the hotel and I was getting hungry so I decided to eat at the hotel instead of trying to find a restaurant. The restaurant turned out to be pretty okay. I ordered a tomato and cheese salad and some kebab and a bottle of local white wine and all was pretty. The following day I had lunch there where they served a buffet and that was also good. The food prices were fair and even the wine in the restaurant was really cheap. The only thing that surprised me negatively was the price for a gin & tonic in their bar, which was too steep. When I left I was pretty sad I had not decided to stay a bit longer in this place because it was a nice hotel and the surroundings were really nice. It was close to the water and some nice museums.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Pirineos; City: Figueres Province of Girona Catalonia; Review: The hotel was quite nice. It had nice spacious rooms, located in a quiet area. There are good possibilities of parking in the neighborhood but you have to be there at the right moment. As an alternative the hotel has some parking spaces of their own. Fair breakfast. Internet works well. Location a bit away from from the action of town on a winters day, when many bars and restaurants take a break.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Welcome Hotel Frankfurt; City: Frankfurt Hesse; Review: The hotel had only parking spaces in their basement and I managed to get a nice parking space just next to the entrance. The hotel charged 15 euro per night for the parking space, which was a fair price. The neighborhood is boring though as there are hardly anything near the hotel expect another hotel and a housing area. It was definitely not an exciting place. I went up to the reception and was addressed by a beautiful blond girl that smiled all over her face. She explained everything about the Internet, breakfast, spa, fitness room and their bar that had a small bistro. Much to my surprise there were not any restaurant, and given the fact of the surrounding area I decided to visit their bistro for my dinner. I knew the hotel was newly finished, so I expected a nice functional room and it sure was. My room was located on the 3rd floor and it was fairly small but due to the interior and the large windows it seemed spacious. The room was facing an empty field that probably in 6 months would foster a new hotel. The room was very bright, with every piece of furniture built by light birch. I was given a nice double bed, and it looked nice but I bit low for my liking. There was a two-person sofa and all the closet space I would need. The room had no mini bar but it had a coffee machine in the corner, which came in handy. The bathroom was nice and spacious. In order to make it bright, they had put a glass wall in the shower facing the room and the double bed, a feature that could be nice in a romantic hotel but this was a business hotel. They glass wall had a narrow part in the middle that was shaded so you could not look trough. The wi-fi turned out to be quite difficult to contact but I finally managed but as people came back to the hotel it became less efficient. I decided to try their fastest Internet connection but it was not much better even though I paid 6 euro for 24 hours access.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Central Hotel; City: Tours Indre et Loire Centre Val de Loire; Review: I had never stayed in Tours before and choose this hotel for its location and I was not wrong in that. The hotel is only a short walk from the long walking street where many of the restaurants and cafes are located. The hotel has parking in front of it. The service was nice and the room was of a nice size and I had a huge bath room - almost the same size as my room. The furniture were getting a bit old but it was in general a good hotel given the price.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Le Chatelain Hotel; City: Brussels; Review: I have stayed at this hotel a couple of times and one of the reason has been its great location in the magnificent Chatelain and Ixelles area of Brussels. The Hotel parks car, it is a quite expensive service and you might be lucky to find a parking in the neighborhood depending on the time of day or day. The room has a great bed and the rooms are very quiet. Close to good bars, restaurant and trams to city center - so location is perfect.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Eurostars Hotel Old City; City: Istanbul; Review: The location of this hotel was totally superb; right in the middle of things - everything was reachable with a short walk or a short taxi trip. The room was nice, and quite spacious with a nice bed and a long desk from where it was possible to work. Nice bathroom as well, but with a really narrow door to the shower. The hotel is non-alcohol but you can bring what you want the room. The wifi worked fine during my stay. Located close to cafes, restaurants and bars.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Five Hotel; City: Brighton East Sussex England; Review: The location was great and I managed to park the car next to the hotel. The wifi worked well - and the bed was great. The higher up in the hotel the smaller the rooms get - we were 3 friends traveling together and got rooms above each others. There is no elevator, so beware if you are not able to walk the narrow stairs or you are bringing lot of luggage. The toilet in my room didn't flush as expected and my friend on the top floor didn't manage to make the shower work and mine was not the best as well. Breakfast is so so and served in the room. You have to make your own coffee or tea. The hotel is really cozy - no doubt about that but some parts like their bathrooms needs an upgrade.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Exe Astoria; City: Malaga Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: Close to the old part of town - museum, good bars, cafes and restaurants nearby. Fair arrangement of the parking of the car. Wifi worked well, fair breakfast, nice power on the water in the shower. Some noise at Saturday night, it was no problem for me but might be one for the sensitive kinds - so then take a room high in the building; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Amalia Hotel Kalambaka; City: Kalambaka Trikala Region Thessaly; Review: The room and bathroom were nice and spacious - I had a nice open area in front of my room - looking straight into a green forest area. The bed was nice and comfortable. There is free parking in front of hotel. The staff was very friendly, especially in their bar, prices are fair. The wifi works well. The hotel is located some 5 km from the city beneath the Meteora cliffs - so just be aware of that. The restaurant only served one menu - the food was nice but not much to choose from and the service closed early.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Hotel Du Pont Wilson; City: Lyon Rhone Auvergne Rhone Alpes; Review: The hotel has a really nice location near the Rhone River, The neighborhood surrounding the hotel hosts some really nice restaurants, bars and cafes. The staffs were very friendly and service minded. The hotel has very few parking spaces - but if you manage to get one then it is great riding the car lift. Otherwise are there few parking spaces. The room was nice and so was the bathroom. Usually French hotel rooms are small and crowd but here it felt spacious. Good wifi.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Torwood House Hotel; City: Penzance Cornwall England; Review: The hotel has a nice and calm location, not far from the water but some walking distance from the city center. Lynda was a very friendly host and she served a wonderful breakfast with a smile that lasted at least to lunch. The wifi worked well, parking possible next to the hotel without cost. The room was large and it was staying in a private house - the room had a nice bed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Balkan Orient Express Hotel; City: Belgrade; Review: Hotel Balkan Orient Express was not my first hotel choice in Belgrade but since the location of the hotel was fabulous I was quite happy with it anyway. When I booked the hotel I had written that I wanted a parking space for my car and they wrote back that they could not guarantee it but if there were space it was for free and luckily there was one spot left just on front of the hotel. I parked the car and my friends and I walked into the reception where the wonderful and quite beautiful receptionist was busy with loads of people checking in this evening. She was very organized and she had already prepared the papers. My friends and I were all given corner rooms facing the beautiful Hotel Moskva. We actually had 3 rooms on top of each other, which I found quite funny. The room were quite nice and in a strange way both small and spacious. I entered the room through a small hallway with access to the bathroom and then I almost had to step over the bed to get in to the rest of the room that turned out to be quite spacious with the European king size bed as a centerpiece together with a desk in the corner and a chair. The room was quite modern in a low-key design, but everything was and it all worked. The bed was really nice and one thing that I really liked was the power jack for my computer and phones next to the bed. This is actually something that I experience too seldom. The bathroom was okay but there was not much power on the water. When I mentioned it in the reception I was told that it was a normal issue during the summer in the high parts of town. The persons that were working in the hotel were at all time very service minded and it was a good experience to interact with them. They were very helpful in the reception with maps and checking out opening hours for the different sites. The price of the hotel was fair given the time of year and the location, I would actually be happy to stay at this hotel again. The hotel also arranges pick up and delivery in the airport, which can come in handy, and from what I could see they were also fair priced.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Zarenhof Friedrickshain; City: Berlin; Review: The hotel was located in Boxhagener Strasse and I passed it a couple of times in order to find a parking space for my car. The hotel did not have it’s own parking but after driving around the area a couple of times I found a space 200 meters from the hotel. It was extremely hot and after a short but intense walk in 37 degrees I finally entered the hotel that was located near the corner between Warschauer Strasse and Boxhagener Strasse. I entered the hotel that looked small from the outside. In front of the hotel they had some tables, where some guests were hanging out with a cold beer taking shadow from the sun. I went in to the reception that was located almost just inside the door. The Hotel gave a good first impression right away as I entered. I enjoyed the bright and nicely decorated breakfast room situated next to the reception. The tables were nicely decorated and everything was ready for the next dinner. There were two guys behind the counter, even though they seemed very busy they quickly found my room that was located on the 4th floor. It became quiet fast evident what they were busy with because just before I was heading to my room they had to inform me about that their elevator did not work due to the heat. At that moment I was just pleased about one thing and that was that I only had brought my backpack with stuff enough to one night. I was already sweaty by the thought of getting to the 4th floor and walked the stairs. They said the problem was that it was an old building and the elevator had been built later and it was located in a glass tube attached to the building and that became too warn in this weather condition. My room was huge and really bright, which was quite natural since it was on the top floor and also given the fact that he room had 4 huge windows facing the inner yard behind the houses. The hotel room was more of an apartment than a hotel room, because it also had a small kitchen. There was a huge king size bed along one of the short walls and a sleeping couch in the corner. There was a nice desk and a flat screen on the wall. I was quite pleased with what I had gotten. It also turned out that the bathroom was huge and I was really surprised that I could get a room like this in Berlin for less than 60 euro. One thing that I even liked more than the hotel room was the area the hotel was located in; it was a complete surprise for me. I felt like I was back in the Sternschanze area in Hamburg, which is my preferred area there. I really liked the casualness and the laid back atmosphere of this neighborhood. There were cafés, bars and cheap ethnic restaurants everywhere together with second hand shops. I truly have; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel Sofianu; City: Ramnicu Valcea Valcea County Southwest Romania; Review: I had no idea about what to expect as I had not at the hotel option in Ramnicu Valcea before I entered the city center and started to look for a hotel. The reception service was wonderful and friendly. Luckily they had the rooms we needed and their restaurant was not closed. The room was nice and with a great bed. Rustic furnitures which fitted in very well. Food in the restaurant were very good. Free parking behind the hotel. Surprisingly good restful stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Zlatnik; City: Zemun Belgrade; Review: I arrived at this wonderful hotel at 9 pm and had I known the service level and friendliness that I met there I would have arrived much earlier. The hotel is located some 5-8 km from Belgrade old town but I would consider it again for my next stay in Belgrade. The drive there from the city center takes 10-15 minutes in a taxi and is possible for the price of 5-7 euro according to the hotels concierge. The service from the reception was great and I was given a room on second floor in this family driven hotel, where all thee staff speaks really good english. The room was really nice and cozy with a good and airy size. The restaurant close their kitchen closes at 11 pm and their food is great and plenty. Again I had a really friendly and service minded waiter, who found some interest in that I was the first Danish guest that he personally had served in the restaurant. The breakfast was serviced in their restaurant and even if I again arrival quite close to their deadline for breakfast I was greater wktk friendly smiles and a high service level. Besides having a good selection of basic foods I ordered a really tasty omelet with veggies and cheese. The hotel have free parking just in front of the hotel as well and the wifi service worked well and it was free as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Flowers Hotel; City: Chisinau Chisinau District; Review: The staff was very flexible and helpful. The room was nice and there was a really nice bed. The bathroom also worked well. The wifi worked great. The nearest neighborhood was not the most inspiring but the hotel is not located far from the main street in town.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Berlin City; City: Berlin; Review: If you like Kreuzberg you can't stay in a better place. You are in one of the hippest areas of Berlin, with bars, restaurants and urban stores. The hotel room was nice and modern, with a really nice bed, bathroom and the wifi worked well - it even worked in the Korean restaurant downstairs. Be aware if you arrive late on Thursdays or Friday by car because the hotel has no parking, and it can be quite difficult to find one at that time - other time slots it should be okay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Ora; City: Pristina; Review: The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was large and nice. Good bed and bathroom. There was free parking just in front of the hotel. The main walking street was only 10 min walk away. There are good restaurants nearby and many cafes and bars. Nice power on the warm water. I was very happy with my stay. The electrical power supply does sometimes not leave enough power for the lift, so you have to walk up - just be aware of it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Nova Riviera; City: Ohrid Southwestern Region; Review: This hotel has the location to become a great hotel in Ohrid but time has worn it down. Compared to the service that are provided at some of the smaller B&B hotel then this far from that. The staff is friendly but they can't do magic. I was given a room on the 3rd floor and it was really cold as it probably hadn't been booked in some time. They managed to get a heater into the room but it only managed to heat up half the room from 1,2 meter and upwards so the bed was really really cold. The rooms furniture had seen better days and that feeling was similar for the house in general - this place needs a makeover and general maintenance. The hotel has no lift so beware of that if you are traveling with loads of luggage. The hotel restaurant had good food and I was really enjoying my meal there.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Scandic Helsfyr; City: Oslo Eastern Norway; Review: The Rica hotel is located some 4 km from the city center. The hotel was located in an industrial area with loads of office buildings nearby and I also noticed that there were public transportations that would take you easily to the city center. The hotel had loads parking spaces outside and much to my surprise they were for free, which I had not expected in the otherwise expensive Norway. The reception had some difficulties in finding my booking but the girl behind the counter showed great flexibility and gave me a room and said that we could settle it in the morning. I was given a room quite high up and near the elevator, which don’t mind. The room was quite oddly shaped, almost like a butterfly. The hall area was really small and the room was to one side and the bathroom to the other. The room was small with a 1,5-person bed taking most of the space up. The bed was not of the best quality, it reminded me of a cheap IKEA version. There was a small chair in the corner and a small desk with all kind of goodies that cost almost the same as a jet plane. There was a small flat screen in the room; it was a nice room but it was quite small. The bathroom was nice, simple but spacious and with a nice shower. It was almost industrial in its design but things were working and they had used good materials. The view from the room was not much to be festive about as it was overlooking a parking lot of some kind of mall. It was a nice hotel and with very friendly staff. The price was quite fair for being Oslo much to my surprise. There were quite some people getting into hotel when I arrived and the hotel was quite full for being in business area on a Friday evening. The Wi-Fi worked rather well and it was free. I checked out without having breakfast so I have no idea about the quality of it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Raouche Arjaan by Rotana; City: Beirut; Review: The service from the staffs were really great, always friendly and with a smile. The wifi worked well but could have been included in the price.

Title: Golden Ring Hotel; City: Moscow Central Russia; Review: The location was great, near the walking street, good restaurants and bars. Next to the metro. View from the hotel is amazing. The wifi worked well. Room nice and warm after a cold day in Moscow. I had a single bed, which I found narrow, but I slept well anyway.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Collection Hotel Savoy; City: Oslo Eastern Norway; Review: The Savoy has a really nice location, not far from the main attractions of the inner city. The rooms was nice and much larger than I had anticipated but with a bit funny lay-out. The hotel served a light dinner included in the room rate and the food was quite okay. In general the hotel staff were really efficient and friendly. The room was ready when I arrived with access card to my room and everything.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crystal Plaza Hotel; City: Stockholm; Review: I had stayed here before and the room was large last time but it seemed a bit strange but this time I was given a smaller room but it felt more as a hotel room. The bed was huge and very high - it was higher than the lower part of the window frame but when that is said it was really nice. The room was a nice size with two chairs and a small desk, mini bar, flat screen and so. Wifi was free but very slow. The location is great, especially if you wait for summer.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Astoria; City: Rapallo Italian Riviera Liguria; Review: The location was perfect and together with a fresh breath of spring it felt like a small peace of heaven looking out of the french balcony from my room on the top floor of the hotel. The hotel is located on the harbor in the quiet end of the beautiful city. The service was good and always with a smile. The room was really nice with a wonderful bed and a scent of freshness. The furniture was nice and the wifi worked perfect. The bathroom was nice and clean. The breakfast was good even though it was clearly pre-season. Parking spaces were available in front of the hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Granary La Suite Hotel; City: Wroclaw Lower Silesia Province Southern Poland; Review: I had never been to Wroclaw before and wanted to find a hotel not far from the city center, with good quality and stumbled over some reviews of The Granary – La Suite Hotel. The hotel is great, very friendly and service-minded staff everywhere in the hotel. The room I was given was great and I was really pleasantly surprised of the quality in every detail. The bed was wonderful, the bathroom and nothing was left without consideration. There was few parking spaces for the cars in the backyard and the wifi worked well. The food in their restaurant was modern and tasty. This was really a great stay - and I would be really happy to come back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blooms Hotel; City: Dublin County Dublin; Review: The location is awesome if you are in town to have fun and want to enjoy some of the evening and nightlife. The VAT house pub which is next to the reception is a great place with good atmosphere and live music. Great selection of drinks and beer. It is not a place to stay if you want a calm place in the middle of town. I would love to come back for the ambiance and to enjoy the Temple Bar area The wifi do not work in the hotel rooms, the rooms are very basic compared to the price, but who cares when time goes too fast anyway in this area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bohem Art Hotel; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: Great location, it can't be much better as it is in the middle of town. The wifi was perfect and so was the breakfast, that had a great variation of different fruits, veggies, and everything else that you expect of a great meal. Friendly and service minded staff, who always approached you with a smile. There is parking space just outside the hotel if you are lucky, but otherwise they have access to a garage just near the hotel. The only thing I can to remark is that the room was a bit small but the quality was really good.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Vienna Danube Waterfront; City: Vienna; Review: I was staying at Hilton Vienna Danube mainly because one of my friends was staying there and it was in close proximity to the Vienna Trade fair. The hotel is located along the river and it was quite easy to find getting there by car. The hotel had a parking garage under the hotel, it was not free but the price was 15 euro per night, which I found fair. The reception was a level up from the parking area and they quickly found my booking. The guy in the reception was really service minded and he gave me a virtual tour round the hotel. I was going to stay at the hotel for 4 days and for some lucky reason I was given a room with a river view on the 4th floor. When I entered the room I was quite pleased, the room was large but not huge, There were 3 windows facing the river and the first thing I did was to remove the curtains just to get some light in to the room. The view was towards the river but it was not a magnificent view. The best about the view was that there was no one in front my windows. The room was quite long but not so wide, all the furniture were made of dark wood that gave the room a classy but gloomy feel to it. The bed was king size with a perfect feel to it. The headboard decoration was likewise dark but also gigantic. In the end of the room in front of the windows there was a nice sofa arrangement, it was a room that grew on you. There was a nice desk in front of the sofa, which made it a perfect place from where to work. Another thing that worked really well and made this one of the better business hotels was the really fast Wi-Fi connection. The bathroom was nice and fairly large with a huge mirror with a great light around the frame, which made it quite special. The first evening I had dinner in the restaurant called WATERFRONT KITCHEN. When I arrived it was almost empty or it looked so because it was quite large and much larger than I had anticipated. During the summer it would have been possible to sit along the water outside on their terrace. It didn’t take long before a smiling waitress addressed me with a menu; I ordered a beer straight away while I looked at the menu. The beer came fast and it was a local Austrian one with a nice foam line. As a starter I went for their grilled goat cheese served on a bed of salad with a sweet and sticky dressing that turned out to be perfect, it was one of the best I have had in a long time. For my main dish I choose a sirloin steak with grilled vegetables and a potato tower. The hotel had also a small bar area called the PIER 269 BAR & LOUNGE and like at the restaurant; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Hotel Amaranten; City: Stockholm; Review: I quite like this hotel as a business hotel, my room was quite nice also in size - I had a comfortable double bed, which always is a good start for my stay. The room had a chair in the corner - that mostly was a piece of decoration, and a very narrow desk that wasn't suitable for working. The hotel is located in a quiet neighborhood with a good selection of restaurants. The hotel has a good bar with an impressive selection of ale beers.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Conference Airport Hotel; City: Istanbul; Review: I was given a nice large room with a great bathroom. The room had a really good working desk from where it would be easy to work. Besides being spacious the room also a good comfortable bed. The wifi worked well. The hotel was large but it didn't look nice from the outside but well inside I really appreciated the nice indoor design. The hotel location is next to a large high way with loads of traffic and there were only one restaurant in the near proximity.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ramada Plaza Antwerp; City: Antwerp Antwerp Province; Review: The Ramada Plaza is a nice hotel located a bit away from the city center of Antwerp. The hotel is quite modern and it is located in an area with loads of university buildings and concert venues. The hotel is a quite modern glass building situated on the Desguinlei. When you enter the large hall you are met by a huge reception desk in a rather dark and modern lay-out. I was given a nice room on the second floor. The room was nice and large with a king size bed. The walls were colorful but still kept in calm colors. The windows was facing the forrest behind the hotel. There was a table and a couple of chairs in front of the window and there was a desk with a flat screen. The wi-fi worked perfectly and it was a perfect room for a business stay as well. The bathroom was nice and modern with black tiles and loads of glass and mirrors. The parking was full when I arrived but I could park on the road that lead to the basement free of charge. The same thing happened the last time I stayed at the hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel Sofia; City: Sofia Sofia Region; Review: This hotel has it all; great location - close to many sites, restaurants, bars, cafes and shops.

The room I had was fantastic and very large - it was truly relaxing and I loved my bathroom. I will stay here when I come back to Sofia; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Historic Boutique Hotel Cattaro; City: Kotor Kotor Municipality; Review: The location is amazing and the ambitions are really high. I arrived as the last guest that evening and I was given a fabulous 2-room apartment facing the main square. The rooms very really nice and with I had room with a nice sofa group and chairs and an ambitious bathroom with jacuzzi. All this would have been totally perfect is it hadn't been for some small things. I don't mind street noise it is quite normal when you stay smack down in the middle but I know others have it differently, thats why I mention it. My bathroom looked nice but the jacuzzi didn't work because there was no power on the water and it impossible to adjust the temperature. The room was located on a store without elevator which can be a problem for some. BUT the location is awesome - close to everything in Kotor and in the back of the long hall to my room there was a nice long balcony facing the cruise ships.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Motel Restoran Most; City: Ljubuski West Herzegovina Canton; Review: The motel is really nice and the location is awesome even though it is pretty far from every thing.

The motel has a great ambiance because people are stopping by all the time for a drink or a coffee. Their breakfast is really great and it was amazing to sit in the morning sun drinking coffee next to the clear river floating by.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Karolowka Hotel; City: Zakopane Lesser Poland Province Southern Poland; Review: In order to find Hotel Dwor Karolowka you have to drive 4 km heading west from Zakopane. The road leading there takes you slowly up the mountain almost up to 900 meters height. The road was narrow but really nice turning and twisting almost all the way until you reach the hotel that is located in the woods just after a corner. It is quite easy to miss it at first until you see the sign and then you have already passed the little road that leads to the hotel. I was luckily driving quite slowly, because I was looking for the hotel and enjoyed the view. The hotel was located close to the road with a nice little garden in from and some outdoor seating and a fabulous view. There was a huge parking behind the hotel but I choose to park next to the hotel and the stairs that lead to the reception. The hotel was a quite large wooden house, with a lot of angles and a typical mountain design from the area. I walked up the stairs and entered the hotel and stepped into the wooden house I would have imagined being in the Alps. There was a sweet young woman in the bar who addressed me in fluent English. The check-in went fast and I was given a sheet with house rules and info together with my key to the room that was located on the first floor. Everything in the house was wooden and quite cozy, and made a quick peek into their restaurant where they also served the breakfast in the morning and it looked quite nice. I decided straight away that there was a good chance that I would dine in their restaurant later that evening. The hallways were pretty dark and they had sensors in the ceilings to turn the light on but they were kind of slow, so there was a tendency that you had to walk some of the distance in the dark. The reception had given me a real key which is something you get any more. The room was not big, a bit dark and it was quite simple. There was a king size bed that took most of the space in the room, it was pretty low but the mattress was really nice. There was a small desk to sit two persons at: it even had two chairs – like a small dinning table. There was a small drawer with a small flat screen on and not at least a small holder for your bag. The bathroom was nice, it was quite large in size compared to the room. The view from my room was hardly anything to strive after, as I was looking straight into the roof of one the strange angles of the house. It was a neat room where everything worked and I was therefore quite satisfied and especially given the price, that was just around 35 euro.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: TCC Plaza Hotel; City: Skopje Skopje Region; Review: The TCC Plaza Hotel is located centrally in downtown Skopje, very close to the main walking street. The rooms are used but nice and spacious. The reception service was really friendly and service minded - and they speak perfect English. The hotel reception is not the easiest to spot because you have to take the elevator. The breakfast is served in the restaurant on the ground floor. The hotel has parking in front of the hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: First Hotel Norrtull; City: Stockholm; Review: The First Hotel Norrtull is a fair hotel if you compare cost, quality and location.

The hotel has a bar that is open to 1 am and their restaurant is open to 10 pm.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: First Hotel Kungsbron; City: Stockholm; Review: The location is okay until you find out that the hotel is a bunker. I almost laughed out loud when the receptionist said "welcome, your room is ready. it down the stairs to the right! I never liked to stay in hotel rooms without windows and this hotel is a bunker. The room was so so, I have seen worse. At least things were clean and the bed was good - bathroom as well. Well - and when you turn off the lights - it's so dark, you can't see how dark it is !; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Palais Hotel Erzherzog Johann; City: Graz Styria; Review: The Palais Hotel Erzherzog Johann is a wonderful old-fashioned hotel that keeps clinging to its heritage. The inner court is utterly amazing - and it feels like being on an old steamship sailing in the tropics. The staff is really service minded, friendly and polite - it is almost like you are in an old movie pretending to be like 100 years ago. The rooms are not updated but the fit very well the statement that the hotel communicate in all its other facets. The location is perfect and parking is around the corner in the public parking.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mediterranean Palace; City: Thessaloniki Thessaloniki Region Central Macedonia; Review: Mediterranean Palace Hotel is one of the old traditional classy hotels that always make you feel like stepping into the good old days.

I had a small balcony in my room overlooking a side street. The hotel is located close to the water promenade and you can reach loads of bars, cafes and restaurant in only a few minutes walk. The hotel have parking in the basement but you can be lucky to find a parking space in front of the hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel Continental; City: Bucharest; Review: I had a really positive experience of staying at this hotel.

The hotel is nicely decorated and it has a classy feel to it. My room was perfect with a nice bed and huge pillows and duvet. The bathroom was nice and modern with glass wall. I had a double room but stayed alone and loved the space.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: American Hotel Amsterdam; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: The hotel is located almost directly on the Leidseplein with all its restaurants, bars and cafes. The Leidseplein is one of the busiest centers for nightlife in the city. Historically, the square was the end of the road from Leiden, and served as a parking lot for horse-drawn traffic. The room was nice and bright with a view towards the channel. The room was quite large with to separate beds and quite some space. The room was also quite bright because of numerous windows, white walls and light wooden furniture. The bathroom was nice sized as well, but not modern. The hotel had several restaurants and bars – especially the bars turned out nice.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Zarenhof Berlin Mitte; City: Berlin; Review: If you are participating in the Internatinal Beer Festival in Berlin around the beginning of August this hotel has a perfect location.

Title: NH Sevilla Plaza de Armas; City: Seville Province of Seville Andalucia; Review: Nice large hotel not far from the city center.

Title: Hotel Dom Nuno; City: Barcelos Braga District Northern Portugal; Review: I think I have stayed in this hotel 10 times over the last 15 years and the best thing of it all is that nothing has changed. I had not been there for 4 years and it was still the same woman behind the counter. I asked her if they were busy and she said what I liked to hear "nothing is ever busy here" It is a true 3-star hotel by all means. The rooms are a bit outdated but the bathrooms are in good quality. The wifi is free and mine worked really well even through the receptionist said it wouldn't be good. There is a nice pool - some rooms have a great view towards the castle. There is a great restaurant behind the neighboring gas station ! But best of all - it is a really quiet hotel and a quiet town !; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: AC Hotel Tarragona; City: Tarragona Costa Dorada Province of Tarragona Catalonia; Review: The room was nice with both a good design and a good size. I had a double room with a nice bed and the bathroom was also really nice. The staff was friendly and helpful. The wifi was really bad given the fact that this was a business like hotel - it was free in the lobby but you had to pay 8 euro (24h) if you wanted to use it in the room - and it was insane slow. To their fairness they didn't charge me when I complained but I cannot see how you can run a business type hotel with so bad wifi. The parking was insane as well - it was one of the most tight and narrow garages that I have ever been to (maybe except for one in Prague and one in Paris) - and I have seen a lot. Driving a large car did not help at all - lets say that it was an experience !! Leave your wife in the lobby and have a go, but don't go there if you don't know your car. I didn't care much for the location since the neighborhood was quite dead after 10 pm; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Milan Speranza Au Lac; City: Stresa Lake Maggiore Piedmont; Review: The location is awesome but the hotel is tired and need refurbishing of everything. You can state that it has charm but that might cope for the first night. I had a single room the was very small - Italian style! The room was tired - I arrived close to 10 pm and was given a room on first floor near the elevator and service room for the maids. I faced a narrow path and the wall on the neighboring church and just above the main entrance. Friendly service. Beware the city is almost dead at 10 pm - hard to find a place to eat - besides a pizza. Breakfast is funny you have the included breakfast and with seating in the dark which is really low-end but if you want the good stuff and the view it comes with a cost. I asked for an omelette and it cost me 5,50 euro. Service was so-so - some persons were really friendly and some not. Parking was public and you had to pay for it - I was happy to arrive late so I had no problem getting a parking space but during noon it would have been far more difficult. You also had to handle the local Italian parking mafia decided where to park and so - they were so funny to watch the following day with their sea-captain hats !; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Portland Downtown Waterfront; City: Portland Maine; Review: At first I thought that the hotel was located in a quite industrial area of the harbor but only a short walk later I realized why many people recommend the location of this hotel. Portland is a really nice town with loads of bars and restaurants and many of them are located in walking distance from the hotel but also far enough away so there is no noise at night. Room was large and with nice interior - the bed was really fabulous. Nice friendly staff as well. Valet parking is a bit steep but efficient.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hollywood Casino Bangor Hotel; City: Bangor Maine; Review: The hotel is a bit strange - parts of it looks modern and ok - but then you are surprised with things that are just plane strange like their level of restaurants.

The breakfast is nice and they serve free coffee all day in their small coffee room - they also serve cakes but they were not the best.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Prague Congress Centre; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: The hotel is located a bit from the city center but there is a very nice old neighborhood just around the corner. The hotel is quiet and there is a good sleeping value. The restaurant turned out to be quite good and fairly cheap. The service is swift and very friendly. There is free wifi and parking beneath the hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Poitiers Centre Hotel; City: Poitiers Vienne Nouvelle Aquitaine; Review: We were given the church tower room on the roof floor and it was completely amazing with the old oak beams everywhere. The room was oddly shaped but it had everything including a bathtub standing free in the room. The location was awesome and this city is really well worth visiting for its old city center. Parking is nearby 300 m from the hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Atarazanas Malaga Boutique Hotel; City: Malaga Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: Located not far from the city center you can find this little but nice hotel that is well worth the money of a stay. The room was a bit small but things were working and the price was really attractive compared with other hotels in the city. Friendly staff - parking on a small square across the street and a dream location for a city tourist in this magnificent gem of a city.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Convento Cadiz; City: Cadiz Costa de la Luz Andalucia; Review: Located near the old city and the towns train and bus station this hotel was a beautiful surprise. Parking was possible on the street outside the backend of the hotel. The hotel is a former monastery and it has the most beautiful courtyard. There is no restaurant but plenty of them around the corner. The room was really nice and spacious. Great place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Astoria; City: Rapallo Italian Riviera Liguria; Review: I stayed in this wonderful and beautiful little hotel in 2014 and had decided to visit it again. Since last year many of the rooms had been refurbished and I had the luck of getting one of them. The hotel was the same (thank you for that) and I totally enjoyed the room and especially the view. The breakfast is great and parking is still possible in front of the hotel or at the public parking at the square in front of the hotel. The hotel is really charming and well worth a visit if you find yourself passing by this interesting little coastal town, that actually has a lot to offer and also grows on you each time you are there.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Barcelo Bilbao Nervion; City: Bilbao Province of Vizcaya Basque Country; Review: The hotel location is great, near the Guggenheim and it is fair priced for being a quality hotel. The design in the room was really nice and the bed was really nice and super huge. The bathroom was nice too. There is a fair priced garage beneath the hotel. Loads of nice design in the lobby area and free wifi.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Am Parkring; City: Vienna; Review: Really nice hotel located on the top 3 floors of a residential house. The reception is friendly and customer oriented. The restaurant is okay but the main attraction is its great view. Book a room with city view and balcony because it is quite nice to have the city for yourself. The hotel provides wifi and they have garages for your car beneath the neighboring building.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: NH Ciudad de Almeria; City: Almeria Province of Almeria Andalucia; Review: The NH Hotel Ciudad de Almeria is located next to the central bus station and not far from the harbour. The city center is only a 500 meters walk and the city center is really nice with many bars and restaurants. The hotel is quite modern and with a nice large lobby. The hotel has a parking which is located in the neighboring building. The price was quite fair and their direction in getting there as well. When we arrived there were loads of people waiting and it turned out that it was a night of a football game and the away team was staying at the same hotel as we were. The room was nice and quite large. There was a nice bed and the bathroom was great as well. We were staying at one of the top floors and just next to the room there was a nice roof terrace. One of the better features was that they served breakfast until 12 o'clock.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Onix Liceo Hotel; City: Barcelona Catalonia; Review: I keep coming back to this hotel because of its location and I know that the rooms are clean and that things are work - and on top of this this hotel quite often has bargain offers on the price. There is a parking for your car only 150 meter from the hotel and it is open 24/7 - I have parked there many times over the years and never had any trouble. The hotel is located only a two hundred meters from Las Ramblas, which often is the first landmark that most tourists identify with Barcelona. The hotel is modern with dimmed light in the evenings, The reception has been staffed with the same people over the years and they are service minded and quite helpful if you need advice. There are bars, restaurants, liquor shops, grocery shops, dry cleaning and much more located next to the hotel. The rooms are nice and clean. The size is okay for being located in the city center, the bed is nice and the bathroom is modern and things are working. The breakfast can be quite crowded depending on the time you are but it is nothing special, which I don't mind as the entire city is at your feet just outside the door.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: CHECK inn Taipei; City: Zhongshan District Taipei; Review: It was my first time i Taipei and I wanted to stay in a place near the city center. I ended up booking the Check Inn hotel because of its reviews and the price. The hotel was easy to reach from the airport in a taxi. The hotel turned out to be located in a really nice and busy area with loads of nice restaurants, bars and cafes. There were even some sights worth visiting nearby and I found one of the best coffee shops that I ever had visited. The reception staff was really nice and friendly and the had my reservation ready when I arrived. The reception area also had a nice little cafe and bar which was quite busy almost all the time. The room was really nice with a good bed and a nice little desk. There were nice windows in the room but the room was facing another building less than 5 meters away. The bathroom was really nice and I think that it had one of the best showers I have tried in my hotel life.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Starhotels Excelsior; City: Bologna Province of Bologna Emilia Romagna; Review: We wanted a hotel near the city center and at the same time we wanted some good reviews and a place where we could park our car quite easily. Going through the reviews we ended up with Starhotels Excelsior, which was located near the central station. Parking was in the backyard and it was quite tight to get in there from the road with all the traffic. It was pretty obvious that others had bigger problems getting in as there were loads of marks on the pillars. Once in the backyard we were met by a guy who took care of the car and we could walk in with the luggage. The reception was fast and effective and we received our room quite fast. We got a room on the second floor facing the square in front of the central station. The room was nice and so was the bed. The windows were pretty sound isolated so we didn't her anything from the busses and trains or the traffic during our stay. There is a short walk to some good restaurants and bars.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Une Chambre en Ville; City: Bordeaux Gironde Nouvelle Aquitaine; Review: Nice apartment close to the city center - very friendly people and a perfect place if you want to exploit the city center. I had a large apartment that fitted 4 persons. Stairs to the apartment very steep so unfit for everybody. This apartment was located on top of a drum shop - and they use them sometimes :D; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crew Hotel; City: Rosersberg Sigtuna Municipality; Review: The hotel is located 10 min from Arlanda Airport by car; the hotel even have a free shuttle to pick you up in the airport if you contact them. The hotel is newly established - it was opened in September 2015 as I understood. It is located in the woods and it is kept in traditional wooden style and painted in the traditional Swedish red. From outside it looks like a Swedish farm house but well inside it is very cozy and modern. The staff is very friendly and the service level is very high. The hotel room was nice but small. There was not even a desk but the bed was queen size and very comfortable. The style was a touch of country romance, while the bathroom was very modern with a free standing bathtub. The bathroom had black tiles with a couple of orange tiles spread around - it was very tasty but also so modern that it took some time to figure out how things were working. There was floor heating, which was very nice. For being a new hotel there were a couple of flaws, the heating in the room didn't work too well, there were very few places to charge phones and computers. The toilet brush was broken and there were some plates in the ceiling in the bathroom, which were not fitted well but all in all it was s really nice stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Abbey Inn Suites; City: Cedar City Utah; Review: We came in quite late on a cold evening and got a nice room on the ground floor. The card didn't work so we had to go back to the reception in order to get a new card. The young girl had no remembrance that we just had checked in. The hotel could need some experienced people there. The room was really nice with a good shower and a really nice bed. Even though the room was cold when we arrived it got warm quite fast. All in all, it was a really pleasant stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel El Comendador; City: Havana Ciudad de la Habana Province Cuba; Review: In the corner of the hotel there is a good and quite cosy outdoor restaurant where they serve nice and good food with prices which are quite okay. They serve fast and especially the drink when you need then - and you need them in the heat. The waitresses are friendly, english speaking and quite fast.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Nacional de Cuba; City: Havana Ciudad de la Habana Province Cuba; Review: First of all I didn't stay at the hotel this time but I might the next, as its whole appearance intrigued me. It is like a picture of the grandness of the whole Havana in a very short context. Coming up the entrance reminds me of some of the old buff hotels in Florida - it smells of class and its obvious that this is a place that host presidents and top class notabilities. The hotel today is often a starting and end point for classic american cabriolets showing Havana to tourists and seeing this hotel entrance with many of these cars in front of the main entrance sort of fits. Well inside the reception area the hotel is calm and cool. One of the first thing that comes natural is to wall into the hotel garden, which opens up for a wonderful view consisting of a laid back garden with many places to sit and enjoy the mesmerizing view of the water below the hotel. Following the paths in the garden gives a good view looking back at the hotel for some of the details and ornaments on the hotel. The hotel was built to impress and to send a grand statement and it certainly still does.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: My City Hotel Tallinn; City: Tallinn Harju County; Review: The hotel was completely perfect for our needs in the weekend we were there. The staff was really friendly and very service minded. The room was really nice and it had a good size with a good bathroom with plenty of hot water. The breakfast was really good - far better than most. The location was perfect as well; its close to the city center, bars, cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel Bellevue; City: Andalsnes Rauma Municipality More og Romsdal Western Norway; Review: This probably the largest hotel in the city if you excepts the cruise ships which visits the city as well. It is a nice hotel with good rooms and a friendly staff. The restaurant serves and good meal and the breakfast is nice as well. Parking is free just in front of the hotel but be aware that both the restaurant and the bar close quite early.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Blooms Hotel; City: Dublin County Dublin; Review: Just love the location of this hotel and the kind and friendly staff. This was the first time that I arrived here by car and I must say that it worked out well with their recommendation of parking at the Fleet Street parking. We had a nice room with balcony on 6th floor and amazing weather so it was a joy to utilize it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Novum Hotel Eleazar Hamburg City Center; City: Hamburg; Review: We were on the look of a hotel in the city center but most were fully booked and we ended up with a 3 persons room. The room was basic but clean without any special ambiance. One of the best features is the location which is smack down in the middle of downtown Hamburg. Pretty basic hotel but everything was working well.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Inn; City: Kingman Arizona; Review: We needed a place to stay arriving late and ended up in Comfort Inn mainly because its fair price and we didn't need much more that the bed to sleep in. The hotel was clean and the room nice. Breakfast was not worth mentioning but we took some fruit and yogurt, so we managed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Penrhos Arms; City: Llanfairpwllgwyngyll Anglesey North Wales Wales; Review: When you enter a countryside pub and then find what you are looking for in local ambiance, locals, smiles and friendliness you only wish that you had all the time in the world - this was such a place. Great place with locals enjoying themselves and caring staff and good food and fair prized drinks. If this wasn't so bloody far from where I live I would come here regularly.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Sempione; City: Milan Lombardy; Review: The Hotel Sempione is an old hotel that probably had its best time some years ago, but when that is said its a fair hotel, we had a small double room with a good size bathroom. Staff was so-so, most were really friendly, but some in the reception needs a schooling. The location was quite okay close to the trains but also not far from nice bars and restaurants.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Roomzzz Manchester City; City: Manchester Greater Manchester England; Review: The Roomzzz Hotel was a pleasant surprise with a really good ration between cost and quality. We had booked late and prices were generally high in Manchester but we still wanted to stay very central and Roomzzz turned out to be the best offer. Our room was located in the basement but it was nice and spacious with all equipment that you could ask for. The Kitchen was fully equipped, bed and bathroom were all perfect. The location was a perfect new many attractions like Chinatown and Canal Street.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Manhattan 35th St Empire State Bldg; City: New York City New York; Review: Hampton Inn Manhattan-35th St/Empire State Bldg is a great hotel to stay at - it is located smack down in the middle. Located a very short walk from Time Square and in a neighborhood with great restaurants and bars - especially if you like me are into Korean food. The streets surrounding the hotel are busy all year round. The staff in the reception is really friendly and helpful. The breakfast is okay - better selection than many other hotels I stayed in NYC. The room was a ok in size and pretty quite. Well worth the stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Hotel Panorama; City: Gothenburg Vastra Gotaland County West Coast; Review: Booked very late - and arrived even later. Got nice help from the reception in finding the parking behind the hotel - that costed 20 euro for a night - even though I arrived at 3 am. The room was not the best as we had the last pick. It was next to the laundry room so there was a commotion outside the door all day from as 6 am but at we got a bed. You could tell that the hotel was old in the room - the lobby area looked much more fresh. The bathroom was nice with a tub. The bed was not the best but again we got probably the last room.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Antica Dimora delle Cinque Lune; City: Rome Lazio; Review: The hotel is small and has the best location near Piazza Navona. The rooms are really decorated but might feel quite dark but I liked it a lot. The roof terrace where they serve the breakfast is magnificent - even though the breakfast could improve a little bit but just sitting there overlooking the magnificent city is spectacular. Well worth a stay - and might very well be chosen again for my next stay in Rome.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel No 13; City: Bergen Hordaland Western Norway; Review: The hotel is small but equally nice to stay at. The service from the reception was really friendly and serviceminded. I had a junior suite and it was really nice. The bed was fabulous and well worth a long sleep. The location was quite perfect for a visit to the sights of the city.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Wictoria; City: Mariestad Vastra Gotaland County West Coast; Review: When I enetered the room I felt that I had stepped into a rented summerhouse on the coountry side far away from everything - it even came with the smells of such a place. Its not a place that tries to be more than what it is. It is a place to get away from everything. The bed was very soft - too soft to my opinion. The breakfast was average; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Life Design Hotel; City: Belgrade; Review: The Life Design hotel is a really nice hotel which I visited when they opened some years ago. There is a parking in the basement for your car which is really nice. The hotel has a really good location, very close to the main sights of the capital and reallyclose to the main walking street. The hotel does not look like much from the outside and I had missed it if I had not stayed there before. The staff in the reception was really , kind and service minded - in general the staff is really friendly and a really helpful. The rooms are nice and quite spacious, good bed and a nice bathroom. There is no noise from the street or the neighbors even if they have kids, maybe they were just very well behaved. There is a good restaurant at the premises and the breakfast is very tasty - loads of nice local dishes and the sweets are mouthwatering. It still will one of my preferred hotels in Belgrade.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel Sofia; City: Sofia Sofia Region; Review: I stayed at this hotel back in 2014 and I had since longed to come back as it is absolutely fabulous and last time I also ended up liking the city a lot. The hotel hasn't changed and thank you for that. The ration between price and quality is quite amazing conspired to many other hotels I have stayed at - and this is without taking the general service level into consideration. The hotel offers valet parking and the car is parked in the basement with easy access if you want it. The room I took was far from the largest but it is still considerable larger than average. The bed is huge and the linen really comfortable. The room had loads of windows and a corner sofa and a huge desk to work from if you crazy ideas. The staff in general is really friendly and serviceminded and it goes for everyone I met. The location is fabulous with the parks and theatre just around the corner. It is also very close to the walking street and bars and restaurants. It is a perfect spot for a capitol stay. Without hesitation I can say that I will be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel La Fresca; City: Kromeriz Zlin Region Moravia; Review: The hotel is really nice and with a friendly atmosphere. The interior is old fashion and cozy traditional - just what you want and expect in a city like Kromeriz. The girls behind the counter were swift and friendly and trying to do their best. The room was okay with a nice bed and a good bathroom. The breakfast was good and it was nice sitting outdoor and overlooking the square. Parking just in front of the hotel was perfect. I just wish the hotel had some spare umbrellas as it was raining cats and dogs when we arrived. I would not hesitate to return - as it was a lovely place and a beautiful city.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dorint Hotel Venusberg Bonn; City: Bonn North Rhine Westphalia; Review: The beautiful Dorint hotel on top of Vunusberg in Bonn is a quiet retreat after a day at work in Bonn. The hotel is nice but it has seen is better days, but it is still worth every visit it can generate. The road up the mountain can be quite buse morning and afternoon but as soon you are turning towards the hotel, the noice disappears.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Kastraki; City: Kalambaka Trikala Region Thessaly; Review: Hotel Kastraki is located at the foot of the amazing Meteora mountains with all its stunning monasteries. The hotel is really nice and besides the fabulous location it provides parking in front of the hotel. The hotel is located on the quiet side of the city and it is well suited from some nice walks around the area. The service from the receptionist was really helpful and friendly. The room was small but very nice - it had all the features that we needed and a nice little balcony from where we had a good view. The bed and bathroom was really nice. The breakfast was quite wonderful and the atmosphere really relaxed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Villa Zarko; City: Kastel Luksic Kastela Split Dalmatia County Dalmatia; Review: Hotel Villa Zarko is a nice small hotel located at the water. The hotel has parking just in front and easy access to the reception. The hotel had few rooms all with balconies and nice view and the staff was really friendly. We had two day there where we unfortunately had to change room due to tight booking planning. We had two nice rooms but the corner room was the best. The hotel has elevator which is really nice. The restaurant was quite good - the breakfast was nice and it was a pleasure to have it on the terrace in front of the hotel. 15 min drive from hotel to Split. All in all it was a relaxing and really calm environment the days we stayed there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Belvedere; City: Ohrid Southwestern Region; Review: We were passing by Ohrid and I was looking for a hotel with a fair ratio between quality and price and I think in retrospect that Hotel Belvedere had that. It is a hotel that have seen its best days and the location is some 5 km form the city center of Ohrid. We had a room with a balcony 2 floors above the main entrance. The view was mostly blocked by some threes but we had evening sun. The reception service was okay and so was it in the restaurant. It's not a place where you should expect high end cuisine but it is fair local food for a fair price as well. The indoor of the restaurant was blocked by a baptizing but it was great to follow from outside on the terrace where we had our dinner. The breakfast in the morning was fair with many local dishes.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Caro Boutique Hotel; City: Oradea Bihor County Northwest Romania Transylvania; Review: The Caro Boutique Hotel is a quite comfortable hotel giving the price. The hotel is located very close to the amazing city center and you can walk to the Town Square with all it beautiful buildings and cafes in less than 5 minutes. There is parking on the street just in front of the hotel and the hotel is easy to find. There are some stairs to the reception but finally there you enter a nice modern hotel with dimmed lights. The receptionist was kind but not 100 percent English speaking but the check-in went quite easy anyway. We got an attic room which was not the best as the lighting only came from the ceiling but the room was nice and fresh. The bed was very low, so low that it was like you never wanted to leave again. The bathroom was nice and the shower was really powerful which was really nice and unexpected.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Apartments Villa Sol; City: Ston Peljesac Peninsula Dubrovnik Neretva County Dalmatia; Review: We had a nice apartment on the ground floor with a combined livingroom and kitchen, a bedroom with a bathroom. The apartment was located on the main square and you were giving a free parking license to the main parking upon arrival. The keys are collected at the souvenir shop next door, where payment also is handled. The city is calm and nice even though there are many tourists arriving for the Ston fortress and walls. The square offers you good opportunities for breakfast, coffee and drinks. There is a good restaurant just 75 meters down the road. It was a really nice and relaxing stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Wild Atlantic Lodge; City: Ballyvaughan The Burren County Clare; Review: The Wild Atlantic Lodge is a wonderful place to take a rest and get some good local food.

The interior is nice and you feel like you are at a place that you had looked for in a long time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel F6; City: Helsinki Uusimaa; Review: I can only join in the praise of this outstanding hotel experience. The hotel location is perfect near many attractions and still located in a quiet area. The reception staff is very skilled and service minded. The room was outstanding both in interior and in size. The bathroom was perfect and even the towels were in better quality than in most Nordic hotels. The breakfast was nice and with friendly service. The bar was a nice place to take a drink and the lounge DJ music worked perfectly. A great stay in a great place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quality Hotel Nacka; City: Stockholm; Review: The hotel is a bit outdated, but the rooms have a nice size and the staff is friendly. The reception staff was very friendly and service minded.

Title: Best Western Hotel Des Barolles Lyon Sud; City: Brignais Rhone Auvergne Rhone Alpes; Review: The BEST WESTERN Hotel Des Barolles - Lyon Sud is located in a industrial area just outside a small village which is well worth visiting. The hotel is nice with free parking just in front of the hotel. The room was fairly large and clean with a nice bed. The quality was better than I anticipated based on the price. I passed on the breakfast as there is a magnificent baker in the neighbouring village. A good place for a night if you dont want to stay in Lyon for the night.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shakespeare Hotel; City: Vilnius Vilnius County; Review: Great little boutique hotel located in the old city centre of Vilnius. The staff is very helpful and service minded.

Title: Brook Green Hotel; City: London England; Review: The Brook Green Hotel is a nice little hotel with small rooms and a great atmosphere. Beware of that there are no lift if you don't like stairs or you have heavy luggage. The rooms have what you need but they are small. Good shower in the bathroom. Best part was the relaxing area on the ground floor where you could enjoy the breakfast or just hang out when you were tired of walking. Located in a semi residential area not far from trains and busses. Shops also nearby. A good place to stay - I would be happy to come back again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Four Points by Sheraton Brussels; City: Brussels; Review: Four Points by Sheraton Brussels is located in Ixelles where you find loads of good restaurants, bars and shopping. The hotel is located in a quite street but there are the odd noise sometimes from a happy person wandering home from an evening with too many Belgian beers. The rooms are nice with a good bed. The bathroom is okay with a small tub. I prefer to get the room high so there is no street noise. The neighbourhood is quiet after midnight. It is a good hotel with friendly service and in the weekends the price is really fair.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Collection Hotel Norre Park; City: Halmstad Halland County West Coast; Review: At the first look this hotel looked like something I had seen in many Swedish cities - and old used hotel, but stepping in to my hotel room I was pleasantly surprised. The room was modern, bright and really pleasant. It was like stepping into a new hotel. The bed was really pleasant and the bathroom was perfect. The breakfast was really nice and the whole atmosphere at the hotel was relaxing and calm. Great place to stay!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Galaxy; City: Krakow Lesser Poland Province Southern Poland; Review: When we arrived at the hotel which was quite late in the evening we clearly could smell that someone had been smoking in the room prior to our arrival. We asked to have a new room as we were staying there the coming 3 days. It was only possible to give us a room with single beds or having us to change rooms the following day, non of the offers where attractive so we asked to have the room aired and sprayed while we waited in the bar! The hotel was otherwise nice with a good room and nice warm shower. The breakfast was really wonderful and the bar prices very fair. Staff was friendly and parking was feasible in the basement - but more expensive than announced on the home page.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Hotel Xpress Tromso; City: Tromso Troms Northern Norway; Review: Comfort Hotel Xpress Tromso is a nice hotel - stayed there a couple of times. Good rooms and nice bathrooms. Friendly staff and a hip feel to it. The rooms are different sizes and this time we were lucky that we got a quite large room. There are no fridge in the room or minibar. There is also no restaurant or bar in the hotel, which isn't any problem.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ramada Plaza Antwerp; City: Antwerp Antwerp Province; Review: I have stayed at the Ramada Plaza Antwerp a couple of times and I find it quite nice. The rooms are large and the beds are good.

Title: Le Merceny Motel; City: Bastogne Luxembourg Province The Ardennes Wallonia; Review: I hardly understood the GPS looking for Le Merceny Motel as I had not pictured that it was on top of a gas station.

Title: Palace Jelena; City: Perast Kotor Municipality; Review: Palace Jelena is located almost in the water and you cant get better location than this. The food was good and we had a really friendly waiter to whom we had a good chat. It was a very cozy place and you could follow the action on the water and on the promenade.

Title: Hotel Romagna; City: Baveno Lake Maggiore Piedmont; Review: As such Hotel Romagna is not that special but if you make sure that you book a room with a balcony - you are in for a treat and your mornings and evening will be very pleasant.

Title: Clarion Collection Hotel Valdemars; City: Riga Riga Region; Review: Clarion Collection Hotel Valdemars is a very nice hotel with spacious rooms and very good beds. The service was really friendly and service-minded. They serve a good breakfast and the lounge area is nice and relaxing as well. Location is quite okey not more than 10 min walk from city centre but very close to the national art gallery - worth visiting. My wife felt a ghost there but who knows!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dream; City: Mons Hainaut Province Wallonia; Review: The Dream hotel was a pleasant surprise. The room was nice and spacious and with a little remembrance of its past as they have kept the facade of the old monastery in the room. Parking available at the hotel and friendly service from the reception. We didn't eat at the restaurant but it was extremely popular and very full all evening.

Title: Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina; City: Reykjavik Capital Region; Review: The Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina was a perfect hotel for our weekend stay in Reykjavik. We were given a room on the top floor with a small balcony. The room was clean and nice. The location was perfect near the water and close to the city centre with bars and restaurants. Parking around the corner and a good bar in the hotel. Like all Reykjavik its quite pricy and also quite full.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Scandic Ariadne; City: Stockholm; Review: Scandic Ariadne is a good solid business hotel located close to the ferries to Finland. The surrounding area is almost not existing as there is nothing to do. The rooms have a great view overlooking the waters and a corner of the Swedish island Lidingö, which is quite pretty. The rooms are okay, but the hotel is getting old without being worn down. Staff was friendly and breakfast really busy even at 6.30 am; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: STF Gardet Hotel Hostel; City: Stockholm; Review: STF Gardet hotel & hostel is a hotel/hostel run by the Swedish Tourist Organisation. Its a place which gives you a good sleep but it reminds of staying in a sport club from the youth. The room was clean but without any charm. The bathroom had no shampoo or shower cream, which surprised me. The breakfast was average.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: MAS Residence; City: Brussels; Review: After reading the great reviews on here I booked a suite for me and my boyfriend. We had the executive suite after being upgraded, which was a pleasent surprise upon arrival! The suite was very grand and well furnished. It had everything you need and would expect from your own apartment (great kitchen etc). The location was great; not right in the centre but about 15 minute walk in, which we loved as you can walk through the park and it is an easy stroll. There is shops close by and a lovely pub 5 minutes away which we definitely recommend! It has amazing food! It's called The Wild Geese. Definitely recommend staying here! The staff are very friendly and welcoming.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 7Seasons Apartments Budapest; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: We had a three bedroom apartment for myself, my boyfriend and friends. The apartment is very nicely decorated and it felt very homely with little touches; ornaments and paintings etc. It is also very clean and the kitchen is fully equipped! It is extremely spacious with a living room, three bathrooms (2 toilets and 2 showers/bath), a patio balcony and a large dining room and kitchen area. I highly recommend staying here as the location is also very good. There are many restaurants near by and bars only a 2 minute walk away. Even though there is a lot going on in the area the apartment was very quiet and we heard no traffic or people. We were extremely happy with our stay and also loved Budapest!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 6 Rooms 1070; City: Vienna; Review: I stayed in the one bedroom apartment with my boyfriend for 3 nights whilst in Vienna. The building is very grand and extremely quiet! Location is ideal; only minutes from two Spar convenience stores, the centre is also in walking distance and many restaurants and bars close by (you are in the heart of the city without being in a loud busy area full of tourists). The apartment was wonderful, it is excellently furnished and decorated and also extremely clean. The kitchen is fully equipped, there is even a dishwasher and a washing machine! I have travelled a lot, staying in apartments being a preferred choice, and this has to be the best apartment I have stayed in for a reasonable price considering the quality and location. If I return to Vienna I would definitely stay here as well as recommend to family friends.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Anumana Ubud Bali; City: Ubud Gianyar Regency Bali; Review: I stayed here for 4 nights with my partner in August. Our initial impression of the hotel was great - the staff are very friendly and the communal areas are great (reception/restaurant/pool). Location is also good with lots of restaurants near by. However after going to our room we were disappointed. The quality of the bathroom is poor - the water in the shower doesn't drain easily, there is mould around the window between the bathroom and bedroom, and the paint is pealing away from the walls. The rooms are very noisy - our room was a conjoining room (the door is locked as we only had the one room). You could hear everything from the people next door (even their burping!). Overall our stay was good as the staff were great and we quickly got over the problems with the room. However, I would say that the hotel is overpriced and I wouldn't stay here again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Alexander House Hotel Utopia Spa; City: East Grinstead West Sussex England; Review: I have been to many 5 star hotels all over the world and this one definitely does not meet the standards expected of a 5 star Hotel and Spa. When arriving at the hotel we thought our room was lovely. Modern, big and and clean. However, we shortly found what appeared to be dog hairs on the bed. We ignored this with the thought that this would be our only issue. The spa was small and pretty basic. It consists of one big pool, one smaller pool which was a jacuzzi style, and one even smaller one that was very warm. That was it - so me and my partner got bored pretty quickly. I think there is an outside hot tub but we didn't realise this until after we left the spa. We booked in for two massages. Both were of low standards and the therapy rooms are small and cold. We both had to ask for the heating to me turned up. I had a bamboo massage and I could not discourage you enough to get it! It was awful. The most painful massage I have ever endured. For the cost of the massages we expected much higher standards. We booked into the restaurant. Cocktails, first course and main course were good. The desserts were a bit naff if I am honest. Overall, the meal was a pleasant experience. Although the staff are friendly they were not very competent. We asked for a bath to be run and the concierge forgot (we wouldn't normally ask for this but it suggested it in the welcome pack!). The next morning we ordered breakfast to the room. After 45 minutes wait I called reception and they said that there has been a communication error (they clearly forgot or didn't put the order through) and said that they will speak to the kitchen. The manager called back to offer his apologies and offered us both a bucks fizz. The breakfast came but without the full order so we had to call again. The rest of the order came 10 minutes later. We checked out swiftly paying of a staggering £500 bill for one night. We were happy to pay this with the expectation of an outstanding stay but unfortunately this wasn't the case. I complained at check out and he offered to take off the service charge for our meal. Which I feel is cheeky as this should really be going to the waiters as they were fine. I accepted as I did not want a confrontation and we had a train we had to catch for work. I emailed the manager explaining the situation. They offered no refunds and instead wrote a long response outlining how they will try to improve the service at the hotel. After I had to ask for a refund on the massages as they were so poor, I was finally offered a 50% refund of the cost of both massages. Explaining that I was utterly disappointed with their response they still didn't offer anything more. I would give; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

It does not work given the aluminum reduces measurements to just 3mm so the sensor hit the glass at the same time as the hot-end tip.

Title: Armada; Author: Ernest Cline; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: "I'd spent my entire life overdosing on uncut escapism, willingly allowing fantasy to become my reality." Full disclosure, I have never been so excited to see a book as when I saw this on the shelf in Waterstones. For some reason the fact of its existence had escaped me totally, despite being a huge fan of Ready Player One, Ernest Cline's Debut novel. Cline's writing style follows through a lot from Ready Player One; reading Armada felt like returning home after a long trip. Everything is exactly as you remember it, the comforting embrace of something so familiar, but laced with the knowledge that time still passed whilst you were away. Simply, Armada is a book about what happens if everything you were playing in your favourite sci-fi video game was actually real, and playing the game had been secretly preparing you for an attack. I don't want to give away too much, because otherwise you probably won't read it. But, like Ready Player One, Armada is a love letter to video games. It is full of references to classic titles and intricately connects these titles to other great bastions of sci-fi nerd culture; films, books, comics, tv shows...It isn't as reference heavy as RPO and the references aren't as integral to the plot as in that book, but personally loved seeing the names of so many of the books, shows and movies that I love appear in the book and become part of the wider Armada lore. In many ways, Armada borrows heavily from Enders Game (but you can read Armada knowing that your money is not supporting a right wing bigot), that said, I think the story is richer for having Zac relate his situation to Ender's. I've been playing a lot Halo whilst reading Armada and I think that helped me to relate even more Zac and make the events of the story that bit more possible. Though if I ever see Covenant coming up my driveway I am totally fucked. No amount of video games could prepare me for that. Ultimately though, I didn't get into Armada as heavily as I got into Ready Player One, there was just something about that particular combination of adventure, gaming and 80s pop culture that did it for me. But I'll be damned if I didn't love having Ernest Cline's words reverberating around my head again. And for some reason I have a huge craving to rewatch Battlestar Galatica.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Man in the High Castle; Author: Philip K.

Title: The Sword of Summer (Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, #1); Author: Rick Riordan; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: ** spoiler alert ** "Myths are simply stories about truths we've forgotten." "even if we can't change the big picture, our choices can alter the details. That's how we rebel against destiny," Magnus Chase and The Sword of Summer has everything you'd expect from a Riordan book, lovable characters! magic! quests! The whole kit and caboodle. But lets start at the beginning. Magnus Chase is a lot more jaded than Percy was, he's homeless in Boston, his mum died, he kind of understands the world a lot more than Percy did. Not that he's completely alone of course, he is watched over on the streets by Blitz, the most dapper homeless man you ever saw, and Hearth who may have the best scarf in all of the nine realms who also happens to be deaf. On his 16th birthday, Magnus is discovered by his 'crazy' uncle, who drags him around Boston looking for a sword. Naturally Magnus is surprised by all of this. He's even more surprised when the sword leaps into his hand and he is forced, by the sword, to fight the fire god Surt. Then he ends up in Valhalla. Whoops. Valhalla is the place where where Norse warriors go when they kick the bucket (preferably gloriously in battle), to dine at Odin's feast table in the company of Valkyries until the day of Ragnarok. But of course, this isn't your ordinary Valhalla this is Riordan's Valhalla. This is Hotel Valhalla. Hotel Valhalla is arguably one of my favourite places in the whole book. Would I have been happy if the whole rest of the the book took place in Hotel Valhalla, with Magnus getting used to the fact that he is both dead and an einherji? Yes I would Rick, yes I would. Hotel Valhalla introduces us to some wonderful characters, Magnus' floormates, Thomas Jefferson Junior a teenage combatant who died in the American Civil War, Mallory Keen an irish born celt, X a half troll, and Halfborn Gunderson an actual teenage Viking. Not to mention Hunding and Helgi the hotel bell-hop and manager respectively. But nope, quest time! Typically if Einherjar die with weapons in their hand they get to keep them in Valhalla. Halfborn Gunderson has his axe and TJ has his rifle for example. Unfortunately for Magnus, he let go of the sword when he ran Surt through with it, and the sword is nowhere to be found. So now he has to find it before Surt does and brings forth Ragnarok several millennia earlier than expected. To aid him on his quest to find the sword and defeat Surt, Magnus has the help of his friends Blitz and Hearth, who are actually a Dwarf and an Elf respectively, and also a (former) Valkyrie named Samirah Al-Abbas. Sam was the Valkyrie who was instructed to take Magnus to Valhalla but was stripped of her post when Magnus was deemed unworthy. Its this part of the book that really makes you fall in love with the characters. On the one hand its because you're spending more; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Without You; Author: Anthony Rapp; Genres: history, non-fiction, biography, historical fiction; Review: "There is only one you for all time. Fearlessly be yourself." "Grief does not expire like a candle or the beacon on a lighthouse. It simply changes temperature." Anthony Rapp's book takes us back to before RENT was workshopped, how he got involved and how his life was going at various points. The book begins with Anthony's audition for the part of Mark which took place on the same day as the memorial for one of his friends. That sets the tone for book in a lot of respects. For every chapter that is exciting or fun, there is another that will hit you right in the feels. Jonathan Larson, the writer and creator of RENT died unexpectedly the night before the show opened from what was thought to be undiagnosed Marfan's Syndrome, and when reading the book, I was just waiting for it, kind of willing it not to happen. Alongside dealing with Jonathan's death, Anthony's mother was also dying from Cancer, and the book is as much about her relationship with Anthony as it is about Anthony's relationship to RENT. Anthony paints an incredible picture of what it was like to be in RENT, how groundbreaking the show was, how incredible Jonathan and the cast were and what it means to be part of something like that. The writing style of the book really does make you feel like you are there alongside it all. He also details his personal struggles with relationships, being queer in the 90s, having his family come to terms with his sexuality and how he and his siblings come to terms with and manage their mother's death. Anthony makes a lot of poignant statements about dealing with grief, and how to go on living your life. Ultimately Without You is a great book for any fan of RENT, as long as you can deal with the book being bittersweet.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Logitech Trackman Marble Trackball Mouse – Wired USB Ergonomic Mouse for Computers, with 4 Programmable Buttons, Dark Gray; Brand: Logitech; Review: I have used this particular model of Logitech track-ball mouse for many years. I enjoy the many options the included software brings. The device fits the hand with comfort and is easier to use than a mouse you drag around the table top. The track-ball is very large, allowing very precise movement of the screen cursor. The only negative to report is that the big, red "marble" will go crashing along the floor if the mouse is dropped. In the middle of the night one of cats knocked the old mouse onto the floor, the "marble" went rolling off to parts unknown. Had to get a replacement, in fact two, just to make sure there will be a replacement track-ball.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7-Inch, Wi-Fi) 2012 Model; Brand: Samsung; Review: This tablet is the third 7inch Android wifi tablet purchased within the previous 18 months. The Galaxy Tab 2.7 is by far the best of the lot. The first tablet was broken by our cat, now I consider his action a blessing. The second was, another inexpensive tablet, a bit better but still little more than a ereader. The Samsung is slick, fits the hand well, is very fast to load and surf. It does come with a bunch of pre-installed apps, some useful, most not. Will be stuck with these apps until the tablet gets rooted. So far every app I have installed work just fine. It is very good device, easy to use, has decent speakers (for a tablet) and can used as another infared remote for devices in the home. (now I can hide the satellite tv remote and control what everyone at home can watch and when. Power at last!); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Samsung UN22F5000 22-Inch 1080p 60Hz LED HDTV (2013 Model); Brand: Samsung; Review: Good bargain priced TV, great picture, sound, stable stand, attractive design and easy to set-up.

Title: Belkin Keyboard Folio Case with Keyboard, Black; Brand: Belkin; Review: Belkin tech support is horrible, CSR was difficult to understand, I suspect a call center outside North America. Blue tooth keyboard will not connect to ipad4. This device easily connects to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Belkin should have set up a conference call with Apple tech support to resolve this problem. I was advised to contact Apple. Hmmmm, doubt I will purchase an electronic device from Belkin again. This product will be returned to Amazon.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: AmazonBasics Ultra-Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna - 25 Mile Range; Brand: AmazonBasics; Review: For a low cost this product to work well was a pleasant surprise.

The setup was easy, just attach to tv and place on wall, our antenna hangs unseen behind a nearby display cabinet.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Puerto Plata Village; City: Puerto Plata Puerto Plata Province Dominican Republic; Review: A friend and I went to PPV for the week of March 19-26 and we had a great time. First of all this is a 3 star resort so if you're looking for a 5 star then this is not the place for you. Rooms The rooms were very basic but also very clean. I had read reviews about bugs but I never saw one. The bathrooms had hair dryers and were cleaned every day. We did need to go ask for more towels but once we asked we were given extra ones every day. Also, if you want a remote control for the TV just tell them the brand and you'll get one. Food The food was not fantastic, although my friend stayed at a 4.5 star the year before, paid $500 more for it and said the food was no better. We ate mostly fish and salad and the Dominican Specialties were good. If you're looking for a great hamburger this is not the place to go. Beach The resort is not right on the beach but there is a shuttle every 5 minutes or you could walk across the road to the beach. We had no issue with it not being on the beach. The resort has a beach club so there is lunch/drinks/chairs etc when you want it. I also saw that other people had a hard time getting a chair with other resorts, we never had this problem. Nightlife Usually after dinner we went to the pool to see the shows and have a few drinks. At 11pm most of the younger crowd goes to disco 'The Ambrosia", not a great club at all. But I found it was good to meet other people and then we often went off the resort to Hemingways, Crazy Moon or the Roadhouse. Only downfall is that you have to buy drinks there and its not cheap. Tours I didn't do any of them but I heard to buy at the mall instead of the resort. Instead one day I took the bus in (50 cents) and walked around. It's very easy to get around. Just be careful of the "Tourism Reps" who will approach you. They'll guide you into the tourist stores and they get a commission. After a friendly "no thanks, we'll walk alone" most of them left us alone. All in all it was great, we paid just over $800 CDN incl tax and it was well worth it. I'd highly recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: PubLove at The Green Man; City: London England; Review: The UK tends to be expensive to travel through and I was just looking for somewhere cheap to sleep - this was about 12 Euro for a dorm so it fit the bill. It's above a pub and the staff work out of the pub during the day. The staff are very nice and as a solo female traveller they made an effort to introduce me to people. The hostel itself has been in renovations for quite a long time so it's pretty bare bones. However the bathroom is new and the sheets are clean and really that was enough for me.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hostel Archi Rossi; City: Florence Tuscany; Review: This hostel isn't easy to find but follow the directions exactly that they give you and you can find your way. I stayed in a 7 room women's dorm that had ridiculously high ceilings, lockers, its own washroom and lots of space. This is a wonderful hostel that has a different walking tour each day that is free to those staying there. There are also 6-8 computers that can be used for one hour free each day. The breakfast in the morning is enormous, both hot and cold food is served and some of it was the best breakfast food I've ever had. I would absolutely stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Two Dragons Guesthouse; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: I contacted the hotel because of the site talesofasia and I knew that the owner was extremely knowledgeable about Cambodia. He arranged for us to be picked us at the Poipet border, which could have been an extremely frustrating experience as we would have been ripped off by the people there as most people pay more than the $20 visa fee. Instead I had precise instructions on how to cross the border and someone waiting for me to take me through immigration and put me in a taxi. The taxi was less expensive than if I had arranged it myself and put on my room bill. When we arrived at the hotel we expected to have to check-in but Gordon just told us to head to our room to have the much needed nap and we could deal with the details later. He arranged for our tuk tuk (Mr. Don who was so kind) and our bus to PP. The food was okay and we were grateful to have something close that we could just chill out and talk to other travellers. I've read other reviews about Gordon's arrogance and we did not experience the concern. Gordon tells you like it is. He doesn't sugar coat things like other people and we appreciated that. It may be too abrupt for others but I appreciated his candor. Again, if you're going to cross the border through Poipet you should strongly consider using this hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Number 9 Guesthouse; City: Phnom Penh; Review: Travelling through Asia I knew that the $5 price for a room meant basic but I didn't realize I was subsidizing a brothel. It was in Lonely Planet so it couldn't be that bad, could it? When we arrived I quickly noticed there were a lot of local girls with older western men on the deck - which happens to be a nice deck looking out onto the lake. The rooms are very basic, not clean and I've heard there are rats but I only found a dead cockroach. The mosquitos are ridiculous and two weeks later I'm still putting cream on the welts they left. Unless you are a 19-year-old looking for the cheapest accomodations possible I'd spend a bit more and go somewhere decent.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: La Casa Cuencana; City: Cuenca Azuay Province; Review: I foolishly arrived in Cuenca at the start of the independence day celebrations only to find that the entire city had been booked. Marta, the hostel owner, saw me wandering the street at night on the verge of tears and offered me her last dorm bed. I was so lucky to find this hostel. Other travelers complained that other hostels had bars in them and made it impossible to sleep until the bar closed. This hostel doesn't have a bar but is in the same area so you can go out and sleep easily when you get home. I've been traveling seven months and this hostel has the most comfortable bed I've slept in so far.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Villa D Citta; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: This is a beautiful building in such a great little neighborhood and so close to the train.

Title: Aurora AS890C 8-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper/Credit Card Shredder with Basket; Brand: AURORA; Review: If you are looking for a small shredder for identity protection purposes, this shredder will suit your needs. It handles old bills and the like with due dispatch. It makes a bit of noise, but for the price I can live with that minor drawback. (Try not to shred with any light sleepers nearby.) It will take small paper clips and staples. Paper shreds to thin short strips (rather than long strips), making identification of the shredded material highly unlikely. To lubricate, the manual says you can simply drizzle vegetable oil on a sheet of paper and run it through. I used oil supposedly designed for shredders and the device has been fine. I find that I need to empty the basket once a week. All in all, a good choice for the average household!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: EZ Pass/I-Pass/SunPass Adhesive Strips; Brand: 3M; Review: When I purchased this product, I received four strips in the package. This means that if the strips on the transponder are still in working order, you will only need to use two of these. You can use the remaining two on another unit, or you can save them for future use. This product is identical to the ones I replaced in switching a transponder from one vehicle to another.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sheaffer Classic Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges, Black, 5-Pack (96330); Brand: Sheaffer; Review: Short and sweet: these cartridges work as well as the ones that came with your pen when you bought it. I have given new life to two fountain pens I had abandoned. My pens love me for it and they are making me very happy by working just like new, thanks to these cartridges!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pens, Blue Ink (90011x3); Brand: Pilot; Review: I bought these because I just rediscovered a Pilot Varsity someone gave me years ago. MANY years ago. It still works! So my purchase is an act of faith that these new ones in blue ink will last as long. I will update if they don't, but I am confident they will be fine. If you like the feel and use of a fountain pen, this is the pen for you. Lightweight and smooth ink flow.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: uni-ball 207 Retractable Gel Pens, Medium Point (0.7mm), Blue, 4 Count; Brand: Uni-ball; Review: I love these pens and have used them for years. They are best for check writing because the ink is very difficult to tamper with. The ink "bonds with" the paper. Of course, they can also be used for general writing purposes. A nifty, practical item in an insecure world!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Office_Products |

Title: LifeStride Women's Costume Espadrille Sandal; Brand: LifeStride; Review: When you first slip into the shoe it feels great but then walk for about 3 minutes and it is the most uncomfortable feeling in the toe area. Your toe preses up against the tip constantly. Too bad because they really do look great on but not to walk in!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Wolverine Women's Maggie Steel-Toe Work Boot; Brand: Wolverine; Review: These shoes are surprisingly comfortable. You would never know they were steel toed! I haven't walked around in them all day yet but they are very light weight and look cute.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fancyqube(TM) Women Long Sleeve Fleece Casual Hooded Sweatshirt; Brand: Fancyqube; Review: Looks nothing like the picture! When it arrived in the mail it was damp and there was moisture INSIDE the plasic of the bag it came in, not sure what that was. It sits short on my hips, has a devil decal on the front left top that is about an inch big, was not shown in the pic and the material collects EVERYTHING, every hair, lint, fuzz, you name it. I threw it in the garbage.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Carhartt Women's Cotton Polyester Moisture Wicking Stainbreaker Force Short; Brand: ; Review: Didn't realize the waist was elastic and probably wouldn't have purchased it if I knew but it is sooooooo comfy and you can move so freely in these shorts while still looking stylish! LOVE all the pockets and the material seems very sturdy. Purchased another pair in the lighter color right after I tried this pair on!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: J.TOMSON Womens Bodycon 3/4 Raglan Sleeve Hoodie Dress With Kangaroo Pockets; Brand: J.TOMSON; Review: It was too clingy but may have fit better with a larger size. I didn't like where the front pockets were placed...it looks wideset in the pic but it is actually quite small and makes you look like you are expecting.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Columbia Women's Cascades Explorer Pants; Brand: Columbia; Review: These pants were so thin they were see through! I get wet alot on the job and that would not be good! Returned immediately.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Carhartt Women's Slim Fit Nyona Jean; Brand: ; Review: Had to return, fit very small.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Carhartt Women's 1889 Slim Fit Denim Dungaree; Brand: ; Review: Great fit and slimming for work pants! I do alot of bending and kneeling and they are very comfortable and easy to move in. Please note that you may need to order a size down, I usually wear a size 6 but had to return for a size 4 because when you first put them on they may feel snug but very quickly stretch out and I end up having to wear a belt with them. I have all 3 colors!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NIKE Flex Trainer 3 Cross Trainer Black/White Ladies Athletic Shoes; Brand: ; Review: too small, returned.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Timberland Women's MT Hope Mid Waterproof Boot; Brand: ; Review: I originally ordered a whole size up based on the reviews that this boot ran large. Ended up returning it for my size (one size down) and then it was still too big so ordered another half size down and now it fits perfectly. So far having only worn them for a couple of days they seem warm and the tread is very nice and I feel secure walking on ice. They also look very stylish! They may be a bit narrow for wider feet.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Blundstone Unisex Original 500 Series; Brand: Blundstone; Review: The shoe was very stiff and difficult to get into around the ankle and the shoe itself felt like a plastic material not leather. For $150 I expected much more so I returned the boots. Be aware that the Amazon seller can change after you purchase your item. I went from FREE RETURNS to having to pay to return AND a ridiculous restocking fee of $20!!! For shoes??! I first called the seller (Duane Shoes) and they would do nothing for me so I called Amazon and as always they are making sure to credit me any extra fees incurred while returning. THANK YOU Amazon!; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Dolce Vita Women's Iona Ankle Bootie; Brand: Dolce Vita; Review: These booties are really comfortable and nice looking! I wore them with skinny jeans and can be dressed up or down. I normally wear a size 8.5 to a size 9 and I would say that I have a wider foot. I went with the size 8.5 and that fit perfectly if I wear only think socks or stockings. I wore them at a concert for the first time so lots of standing and a long walk to my car before and afterwards and they were great! No blisters or soreness.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

I asked my cousin (who hates coconut) to try them and she did not detect coconut flavor either. There are on my permanent grocery list from now on.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Munkijo Nectar Coconut Org; Brand: Munkijo; Review: I usually use Coconut Secret but thought I would give this a try. It is thicker, sort of an odd texture, and what I thought was an unpleasant flavor. It does sweeten but, unlike my usual brand, it has a very distinct flavor that overpowers whatever you put it in. I think the flavor is a bit sour or bitter. I'll consider this a lesson learned and go back to Coconut Secret brand.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Coconut Secret Coconut Amino Garlic Sauce, 10 oz; Brand: Coconut Secret; Review: This is so good. We avoid soy and use this as our alternative to soy sauce. It is a perfect substitute and our family actually likes it better than soy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: nutpods Dairy-Free Creamer Unsweetened (French Vanilla, 12-pack) - Whole30/Paleo/Keto/Vegan/Sugar Free 11.2 ounces; Brand: nutpods; Review: I got the vanilla flavor and have reordered. The taste is very nice and the product is so healthy. The only downside is that it separates in hot liquid, like coffee. That doesn't really change the taste but it looks funky. The upside is it does separate because they haven't put nasty additives like carrageenan in it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Grocery_and_Gourmet_Food |

Title: Ayen Cottage; City: Ballygrant Islay The Hebrides Scotland; Review: Ayen Cottage, standing alone in a field and protected by a grove of trees is a delightful place to stay, with comfortable rooms, the warmest of welcomes and an excellent choie of flavoursome breakfasts. Homemade preserves are a particularly enjoyable feature. It provides a marvellous base on a truly delightful island and our only wish was that we could have stayed longer.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Austiny Bed and Breakfast Accommodation; City: Victor Harbor South Australia; Review: This quiet and extremely comfortable B&B is set in beautifully maintained gardens. The welcome was very friendly and the breakfast superb. One of the nicest places we stayed on a 3 week tour.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rockvale Guest House; City: Isle of Tiree The Hebrides Scotland; Review: Everything about Rockvale is excellent, from the warm welcome to the very comfortable and spotlessly clean en suite rooms and finally the choice of outstandingly good breakfasts. The latter are of a standard that would not be out of place in expensive luxury hotels, and it's so refreshing to be provided with proper home-made jams and marmelade than dreary little mass-produced plastic pots. We had a delightful 3-night stay and wish it could have been longer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Watson Hotel; City: New York City New York; Review: I stayed for 3 nights and was very happy with the hotel. It was ideally located for the Metropolitan Opera House (the reason for my visit) and I was pleasantly surprised by the relative lack of noise in the room. Maybe I was fortunate to have a room at the rear of the hotel, so an a fairly minor street. On previous stays in Ney York City, I've been quite unable to sleep because of all-night police and ambulance sirens and other noise, so this stay was relatibe bliss. The Gotham cafe was fine for a reasonably-priced breakfast and the hotel provided all I needed for a comfortable stay. I was particurly pleased about this as some of the reviews, perhaps dating from a perid when the hotel was undergoing major renovation, talked of long waits for elevators, bedbugs, and unpleasant staff but I encountered none of these problems ands was entirely happy with my stay. Obviously this is not a luxury hotel and doesn't pretend to be so, but was perfectly adequate for my needs.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Baglio Spano; City: Petrosino Province of Trapani Sicily; Review: The Baglio, located in the midst of a sea of vineyards, is a delightful place, with nice views towards the sea. Bird lovers might enjoy the resident hoopoes, four of which sat on the wall opposite our room one late afternoon. The breakfast were delicious and filling, and very pleasant to eat in the cool of the orchard, while evening meals were outstanding. It was my birthday on one of the nights and the cook made a special meal, designed in collaboration with me, which was even better than the normal ones. Worth noting too that the evening meals were excellent value. The owner, Federico, has a quiet nature but was consistently pleasant and helpful and we greatly enjoyed our stay. There was no sign of the aggressive dog mentioned in other reviews, but watching the cats playing in the garden during breakfast was a consistent pleasure. We would very happily return for another stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Agriturismo A Lumia; City: Noto Province of Syracuse Sicily; Review: Agriturismo "a lumia" is a wonderfully restful and comfortable place to stay, with the added benefits of stunning food and Laura's delightful company. She obviously enjoys providing an excellent service to her guests and was always happy to give helpful advice. We would happily have stayed longer but hope to go back soon. Noto itself is a very pretty town and there are many other places worth visiting within quite easy reach, such as Siracusa (beautiful) and Mt Etna (very interesting). You do need to have a car.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Craigrowan; City: Pennyghael Isle of Mull The Hebrides Scotland; Review: This rates with the best B&Bs that we have stayed in over years of travel around Scotland. It was warm on a cold, wet afternoon when we arrived, the welcome was friendly and the overall standard to the accommodation was outstanding, with a huge, immaculate bedroom and en suite and public space with beautiful views over the adjacent loch. Breakfasts with a chouice of options were as good as one would get anywhere and certainly made lunch unnecessary! Overall, I cannot speak too highly of this well situated, comfortable and welcoming establishment, and would very happily stay there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Rome Downtown Accomodation; City: Rome Lazio; Review: Perfect location - close to Termini station, 100 mtrs from Colleseum and Roman Forum. Safe area. Walking distance to other sights. Bus to vatican easy. Metro stop close. Room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Breakfast delivered to room - substancial/delicious! Host was friendly and helpful. Safety box in room for valuables which is good in Rome. 24 hour access to room. Would stay here again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pensione Maria Luisa Amalfi Coast; City: Positano Amalfi Coast Province of Salerno Campania; Review: This pension is located on the quieter side of Positano which is a positive as it has more locals, is tranquill and has the better beach. Still lots of restaurants on this side and only a 20 min walk to the touristy part of town (not much in the touristy part, can be seen in 30 mins - the beauty of positano is in the views). A nice walk along windy streets from the hotel with lovely views takes you to the town centre. Rooms were great - stayed one night in the room with view of town and shared balcony and one night with private balcony and sea views - spectacular! For the price, we were amazed! Good facilities - 4 huge fridges, microwave and panini maker in the kitchen together with cutlery and plates - so we could store and heat up food/drinks. Host/Owner of the hotel was friendly and helpful - giving us tips on hiking in the area, how to get around and the history of the town (his family has lived there for decades). Can't fault this place - we wish we stayed here the whole 6 days of our amalfi coast holiday instead of town hopping.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ivo Camere; City: Vernazza Cinque Terre Italian Riviera Liguria; Review: Stayed here on recommendation from friends. There are two rooms on the top floor - lots of stairs to climb, but if you don't like stairs - perhaps Cinque Terre is the wrong place for you... The view from the room was of the main street and hills. Host was friendly - his family had a few of the shops/restaurants in the town. Pizza place across from Ivo's is great (pesto pizza). Room itself was clean, newly renovated and nicely decorated. Bathroom was amazing - good pressure big shower was heaven after the hiking. Start of hiking trails both ways are only 10 metres from the exit of the rooms. Vernazza is very small, so everything is close. A supermarket 10 seconds away. Small fridge in the room. Can't fault our stay here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Overnativa Green Hostel; City: Ilha Grande Angra Dos Reis State of Rio de Janeiro; Review: Stayed here for 4 nights over the brazillian public holiday, everything on the island was booked so when we had issues with the room we couldn't move hostels. At first the room seemed fine, good bed, fridge, fan, ensuite and balcony. Issue was that the bathroom leaked from the roof everytime upstairs had a shower flooding the whole bathroom and out into the room. The hostel is aware of this problem as they had tried to block the issue with plastic bags, which did not work. Second issue with the room was ants big biting ants. Being from Australia bugs do not worry us usually, but this was about 100 big ants coming through the wooden walls. Other things to note: breakfast is good but don't dare ask for more of anything, we asked for one more piece of bread and rejection. Owner was helpful when he was there, during the busiest holiday he decided to leave the island and his other hostel staff did not speak great English. Last point is location. On the map it appears close to the beach but there is no direct route, you have to walk around about 6 mins, not too far but so many other hostels right on the beach for the same price.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Kaixo Hostel Central; City: Buenos Aires Capital Federal District; Review: The name is hostel central, and that it is...the location is perfect, walking distance to most of the sites and the metro is very close by. Staff were super friendly and offered advice on everything.They organised any tours we wanted to do and transfers etc. Breakfast is good - many types of bread, fresh coffee, condiments etc. Rooms were spacious - high ceilings, fancy lighting, comfortable beds. Cleaned frequently. Shared bathrooms were great - girls bathrooms had 4 or 5 showers and toilets, which was more than enough for the number of rooms in the hostel. Lots of common areas to hang out around the hostel. Good security. Would recommend this hostel to fellow travellers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Cirilo; City: Antigua Sacatepequez Department; Review: This place is amazing. rooms are spacious and very romantic. best shower in guatemala. wood fire in room. brilliant breakfast. hotel is built around ruins of a church, such clever architecture. top notch service from knowledgable oscar and the friendly ladies. short taxi ride at night to town, 10 min walk during day. loved this place so much we stayed 3 nights! they really do go above a normal hotel to make guests feel comfortable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Send Me: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Patrick Ryan Page; Review: The opening chapter confused me, now that I think about it I never truly connected it to the story. Glad I continued reading since I found the book to be quirky and an enjoyable read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Orphan Master's Son: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Adam Johnson Page; Review: The story was difficult to get into, it is so depressing. My first impression was of a surreal fantasy. Stick with it, it is a great story that could only have it basis in a country with one person given absolute control. Sadly exposes the little value of human life and the ability of humans to accept their lack of value as the only possible life.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Still Alice; Author: Visit Amazon's Lisa Genova Page; Review: This book is a must read for everyone. The understanding and empathy it gives for Alice will stay with you, and hopefully be helpful for all since we will all need to deal with Alzheimer's at some time in our lives. I literally laughed and cried when reading this novel. We've all heard the joking remark "a mind is a terrible thing to lose", Alice brings reality to the remark, but also more hope then I could have imagined.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Missing You; Author: Visit Amazon's Harlan Coben Page; Review: Love story, who done it all in one, sort of. Enjoyed the story, and it was a fast read. The many turns and twist in the story kept you turning the page to find out if your own ideas about who done it where correct. Did manage to portray the violence without ever crossing the line that would have probably caused me to quit reading. Not enough to make me seek out the author again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot; Author: Visit Amazon's David Shafer Page; Review: Loved this book, it takes awhile to tie together the characters since you are introduced to each separately. Slowly the connections are made and the story progresses in a compelling manner. A futuristic espionage tale with a moral.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Gemini Effect; Author: Visit Amazon's Chuck Grossart Page; Review: A good read. Had an unusual premise, and managed to incorporate intrigue and romance into the story line.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dancing on Broken Glass; Author: Visit Amazon's Ka Hancock Page; Review: I believe the intent was to be informative about living with cancer and bipolar diseases. The characters, both main and others, where all just too wonderful, forgiving, helpful, and lovable to be believed. Even the town in the story was wonderful and lovable. Not sure, but could be a "right to life" story (won't say more because would have to give a spoiler). Truly skimmed a great deal because I already knew it would go on and on about loving, missing, forgiving, regretting, wonderful, beautiful.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cinder; Author: Visit Amazon's Marissa Meyer Page; Review: Good fantasy writing and an enjoyable fast read; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Sellout: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Paul Beatty Page; Review: The book was a surprise for me. Thought I was ordering a book related to finance, instead it opened up an awareness of Black in America that I was not expecting. The author did a good job of letting you know how it feels in another persons skin. The characters are well developed and the story is interesting. For me it was an eye opening experience, much more that just a good book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Shoemaker's Wife: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Adriana Trigiani Page; Review: For me the tremendous amount of detail given to sights, smells, fabrics, style etc was too much. The author did a great job of portraying the historic time period through the descriptive language, but I found it overdone. The main characters seemed overdone in there virtuousness. The few attempts to have the characters seem flawed where shallow. This book may well be totally enjoyed by other readers, confess I did a lot of skimming.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Everything I Never Told You; Author: Visit Amazon's Celeste Ng Page; Review: The oldest daughter's downing is a family tragedy. The feelings and emotions of each family member if the essence of the story. The withholding of feelings and emotion from one another, the reasoning for the withholding is presented in a way that can be related to by the reader. Woven into the story is the past of the family members. The reader becomes aware that the lack of sharing builds over time until it becomes insurmountable. I very much related to the dynamic of keeping feelings and facts to ones self feeling it was for the best or irrelevant to others. Much more could be told about the details of the book, but I recommend reading the book for the details that go into creating each individual, including the drowned girl.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Winter Men; Author: Visit Amazon's Jesper Bugge Kold Page; Review: The book was well written and gave good historic information about World War II from the German standpoint. Couldn't help but feel that it was slanted toward feeling badly that German citizens where threatened and/or tricked into becoming Nazis. The brothers, the winter men, both ultimately become SS, perform the duties as assigned, without ever seeing a way to subvert the Nazi agenda. The book does make one wonder what they would have done in similar circumstances. Finished the book without ever being able to determine the authors intent. Am hopeful that the intent was to make us aware how easily a nation of people can be led to do great evil while being led to believe they are doing good for their country.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Purity: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Jonathan Franzen Page; Review: Amazing that the author managed to weave so many stories into one book. The first chapter,devoted to Purity, had me exhausted, like listening to someone who talks too much and you are waiting for them to get to the point. I persevered and was introduced to the other characters presented in great detail. Slowly the connections are made between the various characters and it is an amazing feat that they were all tied together. Can't help but feel that the author had five different stories in mind and managed to present them as one book. Very ambivalent feeling about the book. When the book ended I felt "whew you finished".; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: The Melody of Oblivion: Monotone; Brand: ; Review: This movie really grew on me with multiple viewings. Little details really add a lot as the script is quite lean. Beautiful visuals and excellent performances. It takes on a very dreamlike quality.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tunguska - The Russian Roswell : UFO Report VHS; Brand: ; Review: Visually very stunning, and probably worth a look. Superficially realistic in that it appears like contemporary space-tech.

Title: Pacific Rim; Brand: Idris Elba; Review: I could tell from the trailer this movie was probably not for me, but I was curious about the computer generated stuff. Obviously some wild effects, but sadly they all too quickly become boring. A strong leading character such as Bruce Willis could have brought a little humor to this thing and made it at least watchable. The scientists are portrayed as absolute buffoons (even though they are the ultimately salvation of the planet) and the 20 something tough guys spend most of their time swaggering around trying to speak with a lower than natural voice ( they actually turn out to be the laughable ones ). Sadly the effects seem more convincing than the writing and acting. If you think punching stuff is key to life, this movie is for you.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Primer; Brand: Shane Carruth; Review: I loved the look and feel of this movie, it really had a believability to it that is usually lacking in time travel stories. I also liked the performances. However, the plot and its exposition is pretty laughable. In fact, after starting to make a little diagram of the various time-lines, I gave up and looked it up on the internet. My GOD, the actual description was so unbelievably convoluted I burst out laughing. Tricky is one thing, but this crosses over into incompetent story telling.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Greenberg; Brand: Ben Stiller; Review: Greenberg is at times painful to watch but has great performances and very tight writing. Ben Stiller's character has an arc so subtle it's barely discernible thru the noise. It's decidedly not a typical Hollywood movie, thankfully, but a little compromise might have made it more palatable while keeping its soul intact.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Automata; Brand: Antonio Banderas; Review: This is a rating of Amazon Instant Video - since I was unable to watch this movie. Flash has apparently changed since my last viewing, and since I run a Linux distribution - which Flash apparently no long supports - I am out of luck. Would have been nice if I could have determined this during the PREVIEW, which worked fine, and not after my credit card had been charged. Yes, I am aware there are probably hacks to get to this to run, but I haven't had the time yet. And when I do have time for hacking...it will be to get Netflix running...not Amazon video. Thanks for charging me for nothing.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: AfroChic Diani; City: Diani Beach Ukunda Coast Province; Review: Afrochic in one word would be AFROCHICHOLIC!! Now this friendly hotel is addictive for its charm, amazing friendly faces and the quality of 5 star service. Being in Diani, South Coast, Mombasa. AfroChic is the place to get away from the daily life. The two times I have stayed there, I cannot forget the wonderful time I have had. Starting from the welcome I had upon arrival. The little things makes all the difference. A small boutique hotel with personality that is larger than life! This is the feeling you get from the ever attentive Mr. Stephan who is the General Manager and his wonderful team of people who made my two stays at AfroChic a memory to talk about to all. Its a 10 room hotel which means that the level of attention given to every guest is amazing. You are made to feel at home and once you are in the hotel, you are treated as "family" and so do all the staff make you feel just that. Not a guest but a part of family! Not to forget, the quality of food and the concept of "dine at your convenience" and where you want to dine. Be it on the beach or the garden with the refreshing view of the Indian Ocean is what gave me the time to walk on the beautiful sandy beaches of Diani or just relax on one of the day beds. Or you can choose to cool off in the pool. I have had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful 5 star boutique hotel twice and besides I never realised that writing reviews to help others would be the better part of the "post" experience of staying in this beautiful hotel. I personally am looking forward to my home away from home and the familiar yet friendly faces :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kilindi Zanzibar; City: Kendwa Zanzibar Island Zanzibar Archipelago; Review: Upon arriving at the hotel/resort, the welcome of the "full of life" staff was that of a long lost friend! That was the warm welcome by Zeina. A bubbly woman full of life and a personality to make me smile all day long!! The layout of the rooms on this huge land, brings to mind that privacy of the guests is highly respected. The natural surrounding of the bush kept as intact as possible to give the experience of being in the bush with the sea just steps away!! Most memorable time is when showering, starting the day with the most beautiful view that nature has to offer. I had read some of the reviews on Kilindi in the past and had mixed reviews. I decided to experience it for my self. The staff are very polite and friendly and giving attention to details. The butlers also give attention to the smallest details. The best part there is "you dine when it suits you" The food quality is great and changes daily allowing you to taste different cuisine everyday. Even though there is not much happening after dinner unless you want to chill out at the bar and order a night cap. There are places nearby. Kilindi offers relaxation for the mind, body and soul. This was my first experience at Kilindi to experience the BUSH/NATURE, SUN and SEA all in one place and certainly it is not going to be the last time at KILINDI, ZANZIBAR!!

I have been travelling frequently and finally managed some "ME" time. Decided, I needed the chill out time and go away to "my home-away-from-home." Having stayed there previously I took a break of 4 nights, 5 days this time. Arriving at the main gate of the premises, I was greeted by a very familiar security guard with a smile on his face and the warm welcome. Once inside the hotel the usual Afrochic Hospitality started. I did notice some nice changes to the premises. The garden has been well maintained and very relaxing to walk around, the new addition on the side of having a small boutique with some really good quality stuff to take home. I was greeted by the Manager for some welcome refreshments by the pool. Had to tell him that it was good to be back home and I see another familiar face, Donald. He comes over to say hi and welcome back. I do feel at home here. The room was very nice with all the comfort of RELAXATION kept in mind, spacious with a large balcony over looking the breezy ocean. As always, the food is amazing, prepared fresh and dine at your leisure is great. The chef was happy to prepare a different meal and the very fresh juices. Try the sun-downer DAWA! Its addictive! And the bar has had a make over. The day swing beds are a great way to spend the day gazing over the beach or jump in the pool to cool down. My days went so fast but I was energised and felt spoilt for the few days of my stay there. I did not want to leave! I cannot wait for my next time there. The staff and the approach to the guests of making them feel at home is something special which makes me want to come back again and again! I hope to be back soon. Thank you Mr. Manager and the team for making me feel at home again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dubai International Hotel; City: Dubai Emirate of Dubai; Review: After a very long journey and having to connect on a different airline and a 9 hours transit in Dubai I opted to stay at the DXB Int. Hotel. Excellent rooms.... Great staff! HIGHLY OVER PRICED and charged by the hour! That's the only reason for the 3 star rating. I would suggest the management look at the rates being charged.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Reata Serviced Apartments; City: Nairobi; Review: I have stayed at Reata Apartments many times but never got round to write a review. I highly recommend staying at this place. Very cosy, secure and amazing warm attitude of the staff including Elizabeth at the reception :-) It's also a serviced apartment with a choice of room service for guests who don't want to use the kitchen facilities. I have to point out that, the management ( if possible ) should negotiate with the on site taxi service to lower the rates for Reata Guests. I do know NBO is expensive and traffic crazy but taxi rates are just too high! Looking forward to making my next reservation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Grant's Farm; City: St. Louis, MO; Review: Friendly staff that tried not to sell us food because the goats weren't eating. They tried to save us money!! Every staff member was friendly and helpful. Our kids loved the tram ride/tour, feeding goats, and seeing a wide variety of animals. The place is set up like a small zoo. My hubby and I enjoyed the two large free beer samples at the end! That was the best hidden surprise!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Budweiser Brewery Experience; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: I'm a mom of two so cheap or free is how I roll. The free tour was great getting to see the brewing process. It's interesting and of course free beer samples and a full size beer free at the end. We brought the kids and they were given a free soda at the end as well. They enjoyed the tour too and seeing the Clydesdales. Tour guides were friendly and welcoming. Great thing to do while here in St. Louis.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Biergarten, St. Louis; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: Great atmosphere here. Many types of Anhueiser-Busch beers to try. Small menu but the food looked great. Comfortable outdoor seating and even a giant connect four game to entertain the kids. Friendly wait staff. Perfect end for your tour.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Brewhouse Historical Sports Bar; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: We had just left the Arch and this was a short walk. Usually places connected to hotels aren't that great, but this place didn't disappoint. We ordered the half-sized nachos with beef and they were great. I had the barbecue chicken wrap that was yummy and huge! The kids had a quesadilla and wings. They loved it. No kids menu, but the waitress offered smaller portions of menu items. The atmosphere was neat with the barrel wall and funky chairs.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Empire Deli & Pizza Co; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: Nothing in the deli. Only pizza. Looked like a ghost town. Glad we paid to park. Turned around and walked out!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Rosalita's Cantina; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: The food was great and portions were large. In hindsight we could have split a meal. The kids received large tacos for their meals. Great salsa and endless bowls of that and chips. Loft area and bar. Restaurant is nice inside and decorated well. We received our food and had to ask for and wait for silverware/napkins. Looked like they normally set them on the table, but we just happened to be seated without them. That was my only complaint. Service was a little slow but I think that must be a St. Louis thing, because we seem to find that everywhere.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: City Museum; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: I have to say that my kids thought it was the best thing ever. However as a parent it was a little scary. There are no maps provided and you never know where your kids will end up when they enter an area. Some areas were very dark and I was unnerved trying to keep up my two kids. Very few staff members available and I spent the day worried my kids would be lost. We were there for over two hours. Lots of dead space and I don't know why it's even called a museum. One room has a variety of bugs in cases and that was the only thing museum like there. We paid $5 extra to be on the roof and the Ferris wheel was fun. There was a threat of rain but there was none and they had closed all of the outdoor slides. That was disappointing after paying over $70 for our family of four.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Highlander Pub and Grill; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: It was right next door to our hotel and despite the reviews we decided to go for it. The ice cold beer was its only high point. My husband and I both ordered the same steak cooked medium. My steak was cooked well done. Both our steaks were very salty. The house salads we ordered read mixed greens. They were iceberg lettuce and had brown edges. My salad had one sad shriveled cherry tomato. Lots of TV's and the beer is cold. I wouldn't suggest coming in for the food.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Pub Nashville; City: Nashville, TN; Review: We sat out on a mission to find a great brunch spot with mimosas on our trip. After putting our name in for an hour and a half wait at Milk and Honey, we walked around the block to find this joint. Carafes of mimosas!!! Within 10 minutes we were seated on the nice patio. Service was wonderful and the food was great. There isn't a huge variety of things to choose from, but the nice patio and food were perfect. My hubby and I both ordered the traditional American breakfast. My only complaint was that I asked for medium eggs and they arrived hard. The potatoes had a perfect slight crunch and made with peppers. Along with a perfect home made biscuit. The mimosas were yummy!!! Skip the wait at the popular places and head here for brunch!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: World Aquarium; City: Saint Louis, MO; Review: I really hate to say this about any place, but even my children were saying we felt like something bad could happen to us here. I really felt sorry for the animals. This place does not look well-maintained. The animals are in very small tanks that are not clean. One man runs the front desk and you buy paper tickets to get to feed the animals while he runs back and forth. You leave through the side, go around the back and into the basement through a door in the back alley to get to the next floor with animals. We were joking about how sketchy and creepy this whole place was, but we were all a little freaked out. The only good thing I can say about this is that my kids got the first-hand experience to touch and hold animals which wouldn't happen at any other place. I felt so guilty that I spent money here. I just wanted to rescue the animals before I left and I'm really surprised that they are allowed to keep these animals this way.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: One of the lesser known presidents, I didn't know much about him or his life before this tour. Staff was very friendly and happy to answer any questions. The tour lasts about an hour and a half. The house is amazingly accurate as far as the time period. They have most of the furnishings and artifacts saved from the family. The top floor serves as a museum with infromation and artifacts from his presidency. Very informative tour and interesting tour chock full of intersting tidbits. We had the pleasure of visiting in December and the house was decorated for an authentic victorian Christmas. Admission was very reasonable. If you're it town, it's a great place to stop!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Voodoo Bone Lady Voodoo Shop; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Not worth it at all. I give it two stars for the authenticity of the altar and cool things to look at while you wait for a reading. I do believe that some people have a gift to see things others cannot. However, I didn't find that here. I'm not a sceptic and have had a very telling reading in the past elsewhere. Before my visit, I did my research and this had good reviews on Yelp and online. When you enter the alleyway for the shop, you're told that the Voodoo Bone Lady is a fifth generation Voodoo priestess. She was in the shop and was the person that took my money while scheduling me for the reading. There was one person ahead of me and she was led back behind the curtain. As I waited, I looked around and the unique shop. The walls are lined with bones, herbs, candles, totems, dolls, and various items for purchase on coffin and stone shaped shelves. Nothing is priced and you have to ask. I was sent upstairs for my reading and it was not the priestess, instead a young man named Moholly (spelling?). So you can guess, I was already disappointed and ticked off. From the time I entered, I was led to believe she would be doing my reading. The timer was started and I was asked if I had any questions. My hand was taken and then the cards were dealt. As he went through the cards, I felt like this was a lesson on what each card represented but not how they connected to me. The overall reading said that I just needed to continue my current path. I would be sure to ask who will be doing your reading. Go into this knowing they aren't real psychics and this is just for fun. I got nothing from this. No photos posted, because we were asked not to take photographs inside.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Prime 47; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: If I come back to Indy, I'd stop here again. Our waitor was helpful and checked on us frequently. After ordering, you're brought delicous crusty bread to snack on. We both ordered the filet. Cooked perfectly and deliciously tender. If you like brussel sprouts, you have to try them here. They are cooked with bacon and Kung Pao. I couldn't stop eating them! The peppercorn gravy is my favorite add-on and theirs did not dissapoint. I would recommend getting a window table or one in thier loft upstairs for a neat view.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rib Room; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: This place is makes you feel special! We requested a window seat on Open Table with the disclaimer it wasn't guaranteed. When we arrived, they told us it would be a short wait for the window and they were sorry. The wait for us wasn't an issue, just a 15 minute wait, but the manager offered us both a drink on the house. How nice! Great service from our waitress and delicous food. The filets arrived in a brown reduction sauce that was flavorful. The brussel sprouts were fried and crispy. Warm french bread is served in a bag at the table. We had eaten earlier in the week at Dickie Brennan's and both agreed our meal was better here. So if you have to choose a good steakhouse, come here first!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bourbon Orleans Hotel; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: We had a three night stay here on our visit to NOLA. The only issue I had was with our check-in. With an early check-out I was hoping our room would be ready for us at 3 when we arrived. Unfortunately, our room was not ready for an hour past check-in time. The staff offered us a drink ticket to the bar and we left our luggage and walked around town. Our room was a two floor balcony suite. The view from the balcony was of the back of the church in Jackson Square. Not a bad sight when you're enjoying your morning coffee. The streets were far enough away that the sound was not disruptive at night. The suites offer a large living room with the balcony just ahead and a room and bathroom on the upper level. The room can be entered on either floor. We loved our clean comfortable room and large walk-in shower. The lobby has a bar that opens in the early afternoon and a restaurant that has good mimosas to go in the morning. Coffee and tea available to guests in the morning in the lobby. The hotel has a rich haunted history that you can read about in the lobby. I was hoping to meet a ghost while here, but it didn't happen..maybe next time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: World Without End VHS; Brand: Hugh Marlowe; Review: Suprisingly great picture quality for a low budget 50s sci-fi flick. Fun movie and in color and 2:35 widescreen which was rather rare for what is basically a low budget movie of the time. recommended for 50s Sci-Fi fans looking for something that benifits from the Blu-ray format.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Valley of Gwangi VHS; Brand: James Franciscus; Review: really great picture quality and excellent sound as well. a must for any Ray Harryhausen fan.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Revenge of Frankenstein VHS; Brand: Peter Cushing; Review: Picture quality of Revenge Of Frankenstein won't win any awards although a little better than the DVD it won't show off bl-ray at its finest. Mummy movie looks better. Both movies are very good in the best Hammer Films tradition. It's cheap so well worth buying for fans of Hammer's 50s-early 60s horror films.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Night of the Living Dead VHS; Brand: Duane Jones; Review: Night Of The Living Dead is a classic horror film and considered one fo the best ever made. Due to copyright mistake it found itself in public domain which means anyone can release it. if you are looking for the final word in quality on blu-ray then this isn't it. Picture isn't bad but suffers from way to high contrast and a fair amount of print damage. Probably good enough for casual fans but for the true fan pass on this and spring for the upcoming Criterion release of this movie which will offer far higher quality and a ton of special features. as for this one well it is cheap.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Green Slime VHS; Brand: Robert Horton; Review: Really great quality widescreen print used for this. Well worth having. Fans of Japanese monster movies will enjoy this movie. It does feature a non Asian cast but was made in Japan. Is it a bit on the silly side, you bet but is a very fun watch. Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Cactus Petes Resort Casino; City: Jackpot Nevada; Review: The accomodations were acceptable, but the staff was very unfriendly , rude, and unprofessional. The reservation clerk's behavior was unacceptable, she was extremely rude. The buffet was reasonable, but we ordered two cocktails and the waitress told us what the price would be. When she returned with the beverages, the price was more than she had originally stated! Although the room was fine, the behavior and attitude of the staff left us with a "bad taste", and we do not plan to stay there again and would not recommend this facility. Also, we gambled a considerable amount of time and were never offered any beverages - another reflection on the staffing!; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Fortuna; City: Fortuna Humboldt County California; Review: Excellent, convenient location and a 10% discount is offered at the two adjacent restaurants, which we took advantage of. The room was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and courteous. The only negative is the room where the free continental breakfast is served is very small and inconvenient; the area was so crowded in the morning with guests bumbing into each other that we chose to opt out of the free breakfast and hit the road.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: AmericInn by Wyndham Grand Forks; City: Grand Forks North Dakota; Review: We needed a place to stay before flying back to California the next day and drove around Grand Forks looking at the various hotels available. We had just heard good things from a friend about their stay at an Americinn in Park Rapids, MN, so thought we would give it a try. We were very pleased with our stay. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and quiet. The rooms were spacious and accomodating and the bed was comfortable too. We enjoyed the pool and on a Sunday evening, had the place to ourselves. The next day we slept late, so missed the time frame for the free breakfast, but were pleasantly suprised to discover that still at 10:30 a.m., they had not put everything away, and we were able to grab some coffee, juice, and a muffin before heading to the airport. I would highly recommend this establishment!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Oceano Hotel Spa Half Moon Bay; City: Half Moon Bay California; Review: I'm a local so don't really have occasion to stay in the hotel but have frequented the bar area for food and drinks on a number of occasions. The food is very good and the staff very professional and courteous. The service is a little slow because the bartender has to go back to the kitchen to retrieve the orders, but it is worth the wait. The hamburger is delicious and a good value, the goat cheese and portobello mushroom quesadilla is also tasty, as is the chili and clam chowder. It is usually a very quite and relaxing setting and it is nice to sit outside on a pleasant day and watch the happenings at the harbor. I have dined there frequently with family members and it is always an enjoyable experience.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Oceano Hotel Spa Half Moon Bay; City: Half Moon Bay California; Review: This review is in regards to the bar/dining experience only My family and I have been enjoying the dining experience at Oceana since the hotel first opened. Last night was no exception, our dinners were fabulous – the crab cakes with mashed potatoes and asparagus and the fish taco dinner were both superb.

There is an excellent selection of menu items to choose from, an overall outstanding experience!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Oulton Hall Spa; City: Oulton West Yorkshire England; Review: Excellent food and pleasant and attentive staff. As you would expect in such an august institution the restaurant was comfortable and luxurious. The lamb dish I ordered had meat that was succulent and tender. My friend found the battered haddock exquisite. A three course lunch at just over £20 per person is good value. In these austere times we all need to push the boat out at times. A trip to this historic venue will not disappoint.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Premier Inn Herne Bay Hotel; City: Herne Bay Kent England; Review: Staff on arrival very friendly and welcoming . Checking in process quick and efficient. Room no frills but comfortable , clean and tidy.. Adjacent Table top restaurant excellent breakfast provider. These premises are clean and comfortable and far superior to the Whistable counterpart. Altho' not in Herne Bay iiself its proximity to the local road system motorway network is a bonus. The town itself is only 5 mins or so in a car. Will definitely avail myself of its hospitality again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn London Angel Islington Hotel; City: London England; Review: Room and breakfast no complaints. Both of the highest quality. However unless you know where you are going there are no courtesy signs when you emerge from the Underground to point you in the right direction. Nobody on the High Street seemed to know . As a result I spent a significant amount of time walking around trying to find it.. Very frusrating given its close proximity to the underground.. On arrival I expected a warm and friendly greeting as is usual in all previous visits to Premier Inns..This was not to be. Staff on the desk appeared to be beleaguered with a party of disgruntled potential guests. After a while I was asked my name and ushered to a machine to check in..Not having used one of these before I was not in a comfort zone and had to keep asking for help to negotiate the process. I had been left to get on with it while the reception staff had their hands full with disgruntled customers insisting on b een shown to a room.There seemed to be a shortageof front line staff. When I arrived at my room the cleaner was still going through her routines and seemed discomfited I had been sent to the room prematurely..Thankfully things improved from that point but sadly first impressions count.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Whitehaven Hotel; City: Howgate Cumbria England; Review: As is usual with this chain of hotels the greeting was warm and welcoming . The room with wide screen T V was one of the best I have been allocated. The furniture was in good order and lacked tiredness characteristic of some institutions. The soap dispenser needed a top up in the bathroom but this did not hinder too much one's ablutions.Breakfast at Brewer's Fayre was comprehensive although I prefer cooked to order for full English..Nonetheless another winner for Premier Inns.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Durham City Centre; City: Durham County Durham England; Review: After the indifference of Scarborough in June and the horrors of Brewer's Fayre this trip represented Premier Inns at their best. The welcome was bright and cheerful .The check in process was conducted smoothly by a staff member with professional elan you associate with the Premier Inn chain. The room was as usual first class. The meal on the Friday evening in the adjoining Thyme restaurant was exquisite.A starter of prawn cocktail was well presented and delicious. The mains chicken dish was filling and as good as it said on the menu. The lemon cheesecake based sweet dish finished off the dining experience wonderfully A good night's sleep was followed by a breakfast which I have come to expect with stays at Premier Inns. English breakfast cooked to order[ what a change from the Scarborough fried egg experience]There was a bit of a hiccup with the bacon but this was soon rectified. The staff serving breakfast were cheerful and helpful. Durham East last year was a benchmark. I am pleased to say their city centre counterparts matched their high standards .All in all a thoroughly enjoyable stay. A big thank you to all the staff.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Hotel St Pierre; City: Newmillerdam Wakefield West Yorkshire England; Review: As I have recently undergone complex knee replacement surgery driving has been off limits for six weeks so decided to book in overnight after a R L Legends themed dinner. It was my first visit to the hotel and on arrival the meet and greet was warm ,courteous and helpful. The professionalism and friendliness of the reception staff was of the highest order. The accommodation was comfotable and had the facilities of hotels in higher budget ranges. A good night's sleep was followed by a substantial breakfast that set me up for the rest of the day. The quality of food provided at the preceding evening's dinner was also of a high standard and worthy of comment given the numbers catered for. The relationship with the local taxi firm is useful for people staying overnight as I arrived at my place of employment well on time despite rush hour traffic etc.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Arundel Hotel; City: Arundel Arun District West Sussex England; Review: Visiting Arundel for the first time for over 20 years I was looking forward to 4 days of cricket at the Duke of Norfolk's ground and the five hour drive[with stoppages] to get to this jewel of a town in West Sussex seemed well worth the effort after arrival at the Premier Inn. The meet and greet was up to its usual standards. The room as you would expect with the Premier Inn brand was clean and comfortable and the good night's sleep guarantee was vindicated. The only downside of the whole stay was the meal in the Beefeater Restaurant on the Sunday. Yes it was Father's Day. Yes the restaurant was more or less full to capacity the very pleasant staff were stretched and busy but after such a long drive I was expecting a relaxing and nourishing meal. To say the experience was disappointing is an understatement. The prawn cocktail was adequate as a starter and well presented. The wait for it was understandab le given the numbers waiting to be served. However the mains after a wait of around 40 minutes was poor with vegetables uncooked and inadequate after such a long journey. I had to chase it up and it miraculously appeared after a word to the waitress. I did not order a dessert as I was tired and had. run out of patience. Given such a negative experience I was apprehensive what breakfast time would be like I am pleased to say my fears were unfounded and breakfast was excellent on all the mornings of my stay. The full English was cooked to order as it should be and it provided a good foundation for the rest of the day. Staff were courteous and helpful. Well done to all concerned. After a dodgy start it turned out to be another winner for Premier Inns although I did not avail myself of the evening restaurant facilities again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Rugby Northampton; City: Crick Northamptonshire England; Review: iAn invitation to a wedding held at nearby Catthorpe Manor required accommodation in the area..Situated just off the M1 at Junction 18 the Holiday Inn seemed to be ideal. . I was not disappointed. The room although not as spacious as some in the budget hotel market was good value for money. It was clean and comfortable and the staff in the reception and dining areas were friendly and helpful. A first for me was the acceptance of newspaper vouchers at reception. Well Done Breakfast was the standard format for this type of hotel but more than adequate and covered all choices. . The evening meal on the first night was characterised by a tasty pork chop for the mains and the quality of food throughout was more than acceptable. . Some critics however may pass comment on the overall cost. . The taxi ride on the way back on the second evening could have attracted similar comment although the firm used was punctual and reliable and the taxi driver was courteous and helpful.. If circumstances warrant it I would not hesitate to use this hotel again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Taunton Central North Hotel; City: Taunton Somerset England; Review: As a Yorkshire C C C supporter needing somewhere to stay during the match with Somerset at Taunton I trusted the Premier brand to provide the necessary accommodation. I was not disappointed. and the welcome by the staff was warm and sincere. The room was spacious , clean and comfortable. The bed was, as you would expect, with a good night's sleep guarantee, a U S P of the Premier brand and all five nights vindicated the marketing slogan. I prefer cooked breakfasts to order but the attached Brewer's Fayre food was more than adequate and the evening meals I had were good value . The staff waiting on were friendly and attentive and were keen to make sure your culinary needs were suitably met. Will stay again if I revisit Taunton. Well done to all the staff.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Palm Court Hotel; City: Scarborough Scarborough District North Yorkshire England; Review: Fine Dining is at a premium in Scarborough these days . It is a couple of years since my last visit and like the previous occasion I was seeking a quality dining experience my accommodation in the resort could not provide . Sadly my attempt to book accommodation at the Palm Court was too late which is indicative of its reputation . The ambience of the dining area reflects a period when Scarborough was the jewel of the Yorkshire Coast and its ability to attract a clientele of gentility.The tables are prepared fastidiously with cutlery akin to Downton Abbey. The serving staff ,in this case, Melissa and Rebecca, were attentive without being intrusive and enhanced the dining experience. They are wonderful ambassadors for the institution. All the staff involved in negotiating my booking were courteous and obliging. The lady on reception was friendly and helpful and the dining room manager did not consign me to some backwater even though I was dining alone.The food was exquisite. The starter of marinated mackerel was followed by succulent braised lamb and its presentation and delicacy was a triumph for the chef. Crème coffee brulee rounded off a wonderful three course meal. A superb pot of tea [the best in Scarborough surely?] brought the proceedings to a close . I look forward to my next visit which hopefully will also include accommodation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Nottingham; City: Nottingham Nottinghamshire England; Review: Excellent meet and greet. Staff welcoming in both reception and restaurant areas. Room very comfortable and a really good night's sleep. Breakfast and evening meals good value and very palatable . The mains for the evening meal I had was belly pork and very tasty it was too. All in all a very positive experience. The only caveat I have is that for non sat nav owners the hotel is not that easy to find and signage could be improved in surrounding areas but definitely worth another visit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Lambton Worm; City: Chester le Street County Durham England; Review: A very friendly establishment with excellent meet and greet. Bedroom well appointed and very comfortable which ensured a good night's sleep.Breakfast was cooked to order and was a good foundation for the rest of the day. Availability of mugs rather than cups would have helped tea drinkers who had to make several journeys to the drinks section to ensure the slaking of thirst. Sadly I chose an off night to eat in the restaurant. While the food was edible the presentation of what was a steak pie left a lot to be desired. It was cooked in a tin that could have been mistaken as a drinking bowl for a pet . Was it an attempt at retro by the kitchen staff? Its debatable as there were obvious issues in the kitchen area despite few diners in the restaurant. The starter was a long time in appearance and complaints from other diners were audible. Mitigating factors could have been the number of bar meals ordered by customers watching the England - Slovakia game on T V with limited staff to attend to the orders.The disappointing dining experience would not deter me from a further visit as the institution and its staff have much to commend it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Moody Cow; City: Apperley Bridge Bradford West Yorkshire England; Review: This visit wasn't planned as other venues were being considered as we drove past. As it seemed to have had a substantial makeover from the traditional pub which had remained constant for a number of years we decided to reconsider and pull in. It was a very judicious decision. The young staff and management on duty were welcoming and attentive and deserve to succeed. The food was exquisite. My friend and I went for the same mains , a very succulent chunky pork chop[20 0z] cooked to perfection. The starters white bait and scallops were both of outstanding quality. After such a feast we shared a Red Velvet dessert which was followed by Baileys coffee. Again much satisfaction was the result All things considered a very positive experience and all the better for the lack of planning for it. We aim to return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Cockermouth Hotel; City: Cockermouth Lake District Cumbria England; Review: An excellent addition to the Premier Inn chain. Meet and greet sincere and warm. Reception staff very helpful and friendly. Excellent accommodation. Bedroom as you expect from this brand, comfortable and clean.The good night's sleep guarantee was manifested. Will return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Skiddaw Hotel; City: Keswick Lake District Cumbria England; Review: Visiting Keswick means you have many options for eating and drinking. Luckily on the 14th June I stepped in to the Skiddaw Hotel for lunch. The menu looked attractive and the food did not disappoint.. The starter , soup of the day , was delightful . Asparagus was different from the usual list of suspects and was much appreciated.The chicken mains was equal to the tag of fine dining and the ice cream portion for dessert was very generous and perfect for a warm summer's day. The two pots of tea were also deserving of comment. Tea even in smart teapots does not always taste this good. I will return when next in Keswick.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Olive Branch Inn; City: Marsden Huddersfield West Yorkshire England; Review: Given the remarks expressed in a recent review I am pleased to report my friend and I have nothing but praise for the service and quality of food experienced on Saturday 17th June. The welcome mat was immediately on display and nothing was too much trouble to make the evening special. The service was attentive without being over bearing and the food epitomised fine dining. My Slaithwaite Lamb mains was exquisite and my friend's belly pork was classed as wonderful. Desserts and starters were equally high palate pleasers.The marking of my milestone birthday with a rendition of Happy Birthday and a celebratory piece of cake were much appreciated given the staff had other diners to attend to. We will return and I will recommend all fine diners who haven't visited The Olive Branch Inn to do so.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hampton Inn Eugene; City: Eugene Oregon; Review: What a terrible experience! We had a ton of guests staying at the hotel because of a 4 day wedding weekend. The hotel itself is rather industrial looking and the rooms are furnished (I had typed "decorated" but then decided that was overstating the facts) in a very spartan manner. Made me feel like we were camping. In addition to the stench so many people have written about, one of the groomsmen's car got broken into in the parking lot. The staff was totally non-responsive about the crime. We explained to the front desk that the hotel was not what we were accustomed to and would not be staying the night. The front desk manager (Bridget) was nasty and sarcastically said she was sorry it wasn't the 7 or 8 star hotel we must be used to. Although there were empty rooms available (and it's not like they turned away any business because we were there), she insisted she was still going to charge us for the night. We'll see what American Express and Hilton (the parent company) have to say about that. I asked for the general manager's name and Bridget told me it was "Bob" and refused to give me a last name. Three days later, when I called the hotel directly, a man told me the general manager's name was Cheryl. I asked to speak to the GM because I had a problem at the hotel that weekend and guess who picked up the phone. Bridget. When I asked to speak to the general manager, Bridget told me she would handle things. I refused to speak with her and asked for the general manager to call me. Five hours later, I got a phone call from the hotel and the woman said she was calling for the general manager to find out what the problem was. Sure enough, it was Bridget again. When I insisted on speaking to the GM, Bridget refused to let me speak with her/him. Unbelievable. The good news is that there are wonderful alternatives in Eugene. We ended up staying at The August House. It's a fabulous bed and breakfast there in Eugene and it is amazing. I did a review on Trip Advisor about it too. Check it out. It's pricier, but well worth it. Whatever you do, stay away (FAR away) from the Hampton Inn.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort Spa; City: Rancho Mirage Greater Palm Springs California; Review: Rancho Las Palmas is a beautiful facility with fabulous service. The rooms are nicely appointed and clean. The staff is friendly and for the most part, very helpful. The only snag we had was when we notified them our room was too noisy for us to get any sleep. I was told there was nothing that could be done about it. This is our second stay and had the same problem the first time (too noisy to get any rest). The first trip, the gardeners started their loud equipment before 7 am. I think they had to clear some broken tree limbs because of the high winds and that's why they started so early. That was just a rude wake-up call on our one day to sleep in. They were nice enough to invite us back for a shorter, comped stay. Unfortunately, this trip, we were also unable to get any sleep (this time due to noisy people upstairs). They did not offer to change our room or do anything about it. Oh well, don't go there if you want to get any rest. On the bright side, the pool area for children is fabulous. There's a lazy river, two water slides and a couple water features for the smaller kids that make for a super fun time for kids of all ages. Even though the resort was crowded, there was still enough seating through most of the day. There is also an adult pool area (though kids were over there as well). Dining on site is pricey but there are a lot of good dining options nearby. 'Thai Smile' was a great, reasonably priced restaurant across the street and 'Shame on the Moon' is a seven minute drive and they have good food and service as well. 'The River' is a shopping center across the street that has many fast food and sit-down restaurants from which to choose.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Four Points By Sheraton Oklahoma City Quail Springs; City: Oklahoma City Oklahoma; Review: PROS: Good location (close to tons of restaurants and shops), clean, relatively new facility, microwave and small fridge in each room, some of the front desk staff are friendly. CONS: No bathtubs in most rooms (costs $67 extra to get a room with a tub), ice machines are only on every other floor, decor is spartan and rooms are not well-lit. We requested connecting rooms 2 mos in advance and they didn't honor our request. No Starwood Preferred Guest acknowledgement or benefits (no upgrade, not even a newspaper). It took them 3 days to replace an empty tissue box holder. Housekeeping woke us each morning by calling loudly to one another in the hallway. Housekeeping also violated the Do Not Disturb sign by banging on our door to see if we wanted service (11 am). The front desk called us after midnight to see if had asked for a plunger (we had not). Our TV broke (and they couldn't fix it so they offered us the possibility of a 1 pm check out... usually SPG gold guests get 4 pm). Nobody answered the phone when I repeatedly called the front desk (was told that mailbox was full). My glasses were missing after housekeeping made up the room. I reported it to the front desk, they said housekeeping was closed and they'd call me the next day. They never did. When I reported all this to the person at the front desk (after I asked for a manager), she was polite but didn't seem to care at all. The head housekeeper was at the front desk when I was trying to relate our experience and she glared daggers at me the whole time. VERY poorly managed hotel!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Moana Surfrider A Westin Resort Spa Waikiki Beach; City: Honolulu Oahu Hawaii; Review: The Moana is an adorable hotel right in the heart of Waikiki. It is gorgeous with an old fashioned plantation motif so as soon as you walk in, you feel transported to another world. The open air lobby is beautiful and overlooks the beach. Doesn't get much better than that. There are two parts to the hotel, the original/historic side and the newer tower. The historic rooms are slightly smaller and a tiny bit tired but have a lovely, "old world" feel to them. The tower rooms are slightly larger and more modern. Both sides offer gorgeous waterfront views if you're lucky enough to get them. Currently, the hotel is in the process of renovation so soon both sides will be sparkling new. The renovation is tastefully done and the sweet sleeper beds are fantastic. We were able to get an early check-in but were disappointed we couldn't get into the renovated tower section (we are SPG platinum). The sweet gal at the front desk (Irene) was kind enough to upgrade us to an ocean view room and told us if something on the tower side opened up, she'd give us a call. I walked away knowing we'd never hear from her and figured she thought we were lucky to get an ocean view room. Later in the afternoon, I was super happy to be wrong. Talk about excellent customer service. Irene looked up my phone number on file and ended up calling my home. She got my cell phone and hunted me down on the beach to tell me she was able to find us a newly renovated room in the tower. Kudos to Irene for amazingly excellent customer care. She is perfectly suited for the hospitality business and to be commended for going the extra mile. Thank you, Irene! The location couldn't be better as everything you could possibly want is at your fingertips. Though the hotel is right in the heart of Waikiki, once you enter the tranquil grounds, the stress, hustle and bustle of city life melts away. They have clearly made an effort to preserve the Hawaiian culture which gives you the feeling you are truly "getting away" to a relaxing tropical paradise. Kehaulani (Thelma) Kam handles much of the cultural enrichment for the hotel and when we were amazed at the local talent she was able to provide. We enjoyed many shows and demonstrations of Hawaiian dancing, art, singing, weaving, etc. It really got us into the spirit of being immersed into another culture. I have been coming to SPG properties in Hawaii for over 30 years. Kehaulani always goes out of her way to make us feel welcome and valued. We love Waikiki and we especially love it at the Moana. I highly recommend this hotel!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: Because of the great reviews on TA, we were excited to stay at the Westin Michigan Avenue. The location is excellent but we were very disappointed with the service. The facility itself is nice in the lobby but the hallways and room décor is Spartan and tired. Though the bathroom décor is fine, the rest of the hotel needs updating. The location is so great, you could overlook the disappointing physical aspects of the property if only service was better. I booked far in advance so I could get two rooms proximately located. I called twice to confirm that request. Upon arrival, I found our rooms were not near each other and in fact, were not even on the same floor. To make matters worse, BOTH rooms were right next to the elevators. I asked to be moved and the manager (Diana?) said the hotel was booked and I should check back the next day. She was not sympathetic, friendly or helpful. The next day, I inquired again and was tricked into moving off the preferred guest floor. I was told everything is the same except there are no apples near the elevator. That is incorrect and after I made the effort to move (they didn't offer to move me and instead gave me a hard time that I asked to move after our room was serviced), I got room on a lower floor with a worse view, with lumpy foam pillows, no platinum amenities, a tub that was dirty with somebody else's hair and hot water that only trickled out. I understand this weekend was busy because of a large wedding party and the jazz festival. Maybe management would not have been as uncaring if they weren't so full. However, if you're in the hospitality business, it seems a hotel should treat all their customers well even if you're completely sold out. One bright light at the hotel was the front desk man on the night shift. Romeo was very helpful and did his best to make us feel welcome. Even when he couldn't accommodate us with rooms NOT next to the elevators, his friendly and kind demeanor made us feel better. Under new management and with some updating, this property would be an outstanding choice as the location is superb. Under the current circumstances, the negatives far outweigh the positives. I'm an SPG Platinum member and this experience has made me rethink my brand loyalty. I don't know why I would give my business to a company that doesn't value me as a customer.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Campanella3; City: Rome Lazio; Review: We stayed at Campanella 3 in July, 2013. Communication through the booking process was excellent. Both Ivan and Antonella are very sweet and super helpful. The facility itself it an easy walk to the Vatican and the metro is just a couple blocks away. Ivan met us to let us in and he was fantastic. He gave us a map where he showed us all the major attractions, his favorite places to eat (including two favorite gelato stops), a beautiful walking route and how to find the metro. All of his recommendations were spot on. There is a computer available for use in the unit and there is also free wifi. Ivan made our trip easy, comfortable and wonderful. Grazie mille for all your help with everything!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casa Gottardi; City: Venice Veneto; Review: Casa Gottardi is a stone's throw from the Rialto Bridge and a wonderful base for a visit to lovely Venice. Susanna was wonderful with her email communication and booking was a breeze. The facility itself is on the third floor and there is no elevator so be prepared to climb. Not a problem for me or my kids but hubby struggled a bit. The rooms are comfy and are cleaned daily. Though at night, there is a noisy bar downstairs, if you shut the shutters and windows, it blocks out most of the noise. A mystery that has everybody baffled is my husband's shaver head disappeared from the bathroom during our visit. Susanna tried to find it but we never got it back. Aside from that, everything else was great. The continental breakfast was fabulous and the toasty warm croissants were so delicious. What a great way to wake up every morning! Giovanni met us when we arrived and gave us a map with some tips on where to go and eat. The refrigerator is stocked with water, juice, yogurt and fruit which I thought was wonderfully generous. One side note, the directions we received required that we drag our luggage over the Rialto Bridge (which is huge). I think if you go to the Mercato Rialto stop, you can get to the B&B without going up and down all the stairs of the Rialto. That's how we left. Susanna will be able to tell you for certain so you might want to double check with her. During our month long European vacation, we met a ton of people but at the end of the trip, when I asked my daughter to list the people she liked the most, she put Susanna in her top three. When we come back to Venice, we will definitely stay here again. The location, price and service can't be beat!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Park Plaza Wangfujing; City: Beijing; Review: My family of 5 stayed here while on a tour of Beijing. Since it was booked through the tour operator, we weren't sure what to expect. We needn't have worried as the hotel is lovely and service was great. On occasion, there was a slight language barrier but nothing insurmountable. The rooms were modern, clean and well appointed with comfortable beds/linens and complimentary waters. The morning brunch was super convenient and had a wide variety of choices. It was slightly more about the quantity of choices than the quality of choices but it was easy and the ambiance was nice. It is well located in the heart of town very close to Dadong Roast Duck restaurant (pricey but excellent food) and right across the street from Starbucks. Don't hesitate to stay here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Shanghai Hongkou Hotel; City: Shanghai; Review: This is a very modern, well-appointed Sheraton just outside the heart of Shanghai. A five minute cab ride will take you right to the middle of the city so the savings you get to stay a few blocks away is so worth it. The hotel itself is gorgeous and the rooms are huge. The staff speaks passable English and with a just a few exceptions (like the restaurant management) are quite friendly. The bedding and beds are comfy. There are automatic shades on the windows. Huge rooms with amazing bathrooms (our was in a glass enclosure with an automatic privacy shade). Because we are SPG platinum, we did get an upgraded room. Not sure how much nicer it was because of it. Loved this hotel and will definitely return next time we go to Shanghai.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Laguna a Luxury Collection Resort Spa Nusa Dua Bali; City: Nusa Dua Nusa Dua Peninsula Bal; Review: The Laguna is a gorgeous hotel on the beach with an amazing pool area that covers the grounds. Service at the hotel is wonderful and everybody is friendly, respectful and eager to please. Prior to check in, Tatan (Concierge who was SUPER nice) reached out to see if there was anything they could do in advance to make our trip better. They were very accommodating about check-in and check-out times since we were on an odd schedule due to cruise disembarkation and a red-eye flight. We had a room on the 3rd floor that overlooked the central part of the complex. The view was lovely and the room was quiet. Lovely stay and I highly recommend this resort. NOTE: When the hotel says a room has "twin beds", they mean it has two double beds. They are not the American termed "twin beds" (that are child sized).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Calistoga Spa Hot Springs; City: Calistoga Napa Valley California; Review: We just spent the weekend at CSHS. We had booked four rooms and asked they be placed together but they did not do so. The king rooms on the 260 stretch seem to be have been renovated and were lovely with ample storage, decent amenities, microwave, double burner stove, dishes, cups, utensils and a shower (no tub). The rooms with the doubles in the 240 area had inadequate lighting (no ceiling lights unlike the king room we had) and were so dark, they were spooky at night. My mom and daughter asked for a lamp but the front desk said no. The room around 200 was far from our rooms so I never checked my older son's room but he said it was fine. We were there for a wedding so we didn't ever get to try to pools but they looked nice. My son said the water temp of the pools ranged from warm to hot. There was one pool that was designated for adults only but is close enough to the other pools, you can still hear the kids. One of the nights, parking was difficult to find and we ended up having to walk a ways back to the motel. It is walking distance to everything in town. If you're checking in late, you should call ahead to let them know. My sons enjoyed eating at Buster's BBQ.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton New Orleans Hotel; City: New Orleans Louisiana; Review: The Sheraton New Orleans is a 49 story hotel, well located, at the edge of the French Quarter. The facility itself is fine with a sophisticated elevator system and well appointed, spacious rooms. Upper floor rooms have lovely views of the city and river and the Club Lounge is open 24 hours so you can get coffee, fruit, water and cookies (albeit I'm 90% sure they were Costco cookies) any time of day. There are a few hot dishes for the breakfast buffet in the morning (6:30-10 am) and a few hot dishes in the evening (I think it was 5-8 pm). The food was okay but it's really more about convenience than it is about quality. These are the best things about the hotel and it was far overshadowed by the horrific service we received. Upon check-in, I declined the Green Choice option because my daughter was running a fever and I wanted to have my room serviced daily as I was hoping to not catch her flu. The first full day, she slept all afternoon so I called and requested room service at 7 pm. We went to eat and came back only to find nobody had made up our room. I called guest services and told them since we didn't get our room made up; I should receive the 500 points for making a Green Choice since that was forced upon me against my will. They agreed. I asked to speak to the manager on duty and got transferred to "Daniel Add??" voice mail. I left a message with my room # and cell #. DIRTY ROOM-DAY 2: The next day, I called guest services just to make sure our room would be made up. We ventured out for a pre-paid tour but returned after a couple hours because my daughter still wasn't well. I was shocked the room still hadn't been made up. There was a message on my phone from guest services asking if our room had been made up. I told them it hadn't. They said, "Oh." I guess they were just taking a poll. I told them to find out what the problem was. They called back and said our room wasn't being made up because I had made a Green Choice. I explained I had NOT made a Green Choice and that was an error. I said we'd be leaving to get dinner and I wanted my room made up that evening. They said it would be. I called and left a message for Clark (a front desk supervisor of some type) and requested a return call. When we came back that evening, I was shocked to see our room STILL had NOT been serviced and no return call from Clark or Daniel. DIRTY ROOM-DAY 3: This time I tracked down the housekeeper, looked her in the eye and asked her to please make up our room between noon-3 pm. She said okay. We left the room and got back at 3:30 pm. No housekeeping service again! Guest services called with their daily poll; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Westin South Coast Plaza Costa Mesa; City: Costa Mesa California; Review: This hotel is right across from SCP and we stay here every once in a while just for fun (we live nearby). It's really hit or miss with good service and nice rooms (if you can get upgraded) or terrible/rude service and the standard rooms are just average (tired but functional). The location is good for shopping, dining and close to John Wayne Airport (SNA). Try to get a room higher up to avoid traffic noise. The restaurant in house was closed (permanently) last time we were there (December 2015) and Scotts (which shares the parking lot) was also closing that week. Fortunately there are tons of eating options close by. The Starbucks downstairs has very limited hours and closes ridiculously early. The front desk really needs training as they are not welcoming. One girl flirts with the men and ignores the women. I'm SPG platinum and was still treated unkindly.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Suites San Diego Poway; City: Poway California; Review: Stayed her for a volleyball tournament in Poway. If you have to go to Poway, I'd say this is the place. The hotel is a bit nicer than most hotels of its type (slightly better ambiance and furnishings) but what stood out for us was the service. Neil at the front desk was so friendly and helpful, we couldn't have been more impressed. He made us feel very welcome and valued as customers. The breakfast buffet was on par with other hotels that offer free breakfast but it was nice that you could make your own waffles. Overall, a surprisingly good stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Shanghai Hongkou Hotel; City: Shanghai; Review: I had a wonderful stay here previously but the hotel is under new management and it is TERRIBLE. To celebrate my dad's 87th birthday, I booked two rooms for a week and was looking forward to memorable holiday. It was memorable for all the wrong reasons. Although my room looked nice, my foot was impaled by a nail sticking out of the carpet. I marked the spot but unbeknownst to me, there were actually FOUR nails sticking out of the carpet. I found out about the others after I got stabbed again. The first injury was the worst and despite my treating it with a prescription strength antibiotic, my foot was sore and tender the entirety of my trip. This made walking and sightseeing difficult and painful. When I asked for the general manager to come see the nails, he refused to come. A guest services manager came instead. She said they'd fix the nails and offered me a Band-Aid. That's it. Below are pictures of the nails sticking out of the carpet. During our previous stay, the club lounge was wonderful. This visit, it was abysmal. Below are pictures of the empty serving dishes that remained empty during the last hour of service. You can see the hamburger station had no meat, only buns and myriad other empty platters. Other food that was out was supposed to be hot, instead it was ice cold. I was told it was because the chafing dish heating element was broken. I asked for the general manager to come to the club lounge and once again, he refused to come. Instead, he sent somebody else who apologized and said they would bring out more food. Despite the fact there was not a child to be seen anywhere, the food they brought out was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and some strange form of bologna. Truly horrible. I can't believe an SPG property would attempt to serve PB&J and bologna to adults in the club lounge. Last time I stayed, I had a private driver. This time we relied on cabs. Throughout our visit, we stood in the hotel line for taxis. Several times we waited for 20-30 minutes and the valets and concierge were either unable or unwilling to help. I tried to speak to the GM about this issue but again was denied. I was told this is normal during busy times and there's nothing they can do about it. Because the location is too far to walk to the city proper, we were stuck in the middle of nowhere with no transportation. The worst part of all was the service. Communication was always an issue but that's to be expected when traveling abroad. What was so discouraging was the hotel management's uncaring attitude. The general manager is disinterested in the welfare of the customers and even when hotel neglect causes a patron physical injury, nothing is done about it. Despite repeated requests to speak to the general manager, the GM never contacted me and instead send lower level employees. The only form of; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Nines a Luxury Collection Hotel Portland; City: Portland Oregon; Review: Stayed here for a long weekend with friends. The hotel is well located in the center of the city surrounded by shops and restaurants (close to the MAX line for easy access from the airport). The hotel itself is beautifully decorated with great colors, cute accents with private alcoves for visiting in the public spaces. The beds were comfty, rooms are large and well appointed, the amenities are great ("Bee Kind") and the decor is darling. The only downside was hearing the train. Bothered some in our party but not others. Nice touch is free wifi for everybody. Service was wonderful. Geraldine with the front desk was particularly helpful and assisted us in getting our rooms arranged in advance. She couldn't have been nicer and more efficient. Check in was a breeze and Nicole at the front desk was sweet and very welcoming. Platinum members get access to the club lounge. The lounge was nice with decent hors d'oeuvres and wonderful desserts. Peter in the lounge was super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. It's a comfy space with complimentary food, wine, beer, coffee, tea, etc. There are two great restaurants on site. Urban Farmer on the 8th floor had great food and Jim (our server) was fabulous. Friendly, efficient and helpful. Upstairs (on the 15th floor) Departure was more upscale and open late at night. Food there was also great with Asian small plates and service was good there too. The employees here have been so well trained. Kudos to management for such wonderful people on staff. Even the housekeeper wrote us a handwritten note thanking us for her tip. Fantastic service, lovely accommodations, perfect location. You can't beat that!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: W Las Vegas; City: Las Vegas Nevada; Review: The W is a relatively new hotel that shares a building with the SLS Hotel. The entrance closest to the W registration area is off of Paradise Road. I like that you can go directly to your room without having to walk a mile through a casino. Because it shares space with the SLS, there's a large variety of restaurants (including a Jose Andres Bazaar restaurant) as well as all the bells and whistles that go with a Las Vegas hotel. The W is modern and has all the kitsch that's associated with the brand (although the mirror on the ceiling above the bed was a first for me). I'll try to attach some pictures of the room). For me, the best part of our stay was the service. There were a couple standout employees that made our stay much nicer. Chelsea with the front office reached out before our stay and made sure we were will taken care of. She was so helpful and sweet, I feel like I have a friend in Vegas. Morrell (spelling?) at the front desk was also super nice and accommodating and even our housekeeper (Maria) was very friendly and couldn't have tried harder to make our stay comfortable. Kudos for good service at the W Las Vegas!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Mission Valley San Diego Hotel; City: San Diego California; Review: This is a well-located hotel that seems a bit older. I'm not sure what a regular room is like but Laura at the front desk was helpful, sweet and wonderful and gave us a platinum upgrade to a beautiful suite. That's the basis for the four star (circle?) rating. The suite was clean, lovely and had high ceilings that made it feel very spacious. The bartender (Amande?) was also fabulous and made us feel especially welcome. Aside from that, the hotel is fairly standard. For me the worst part of the stay was in the morning, the front desk woman (sadly, not Laura) refused to extend the free breakfast to my minor child. She said only my breakfast would be free. We have stayed in hotels for over 1,000 nights and that has never happened to us before. I find it ludicrous. Even if I were not a platinum guest, a minor child staying in your room should be included in the free breakfast. The restaurant itself is very much like a Denny's (in ambiance and food quality). I would say this Sheraton was more like an Aloft or Four Points. Still, because of sweet Laura and the suite upgrade, I still planned to return until the snafu with the nasty front desk morning person refusing to extend the comped breakfast to my young daughter. Left a bad taste in my mouth (thanks to the ice cold scrambled eggs, pun intended) so now I'm not so enthused.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Southbridge Napa Valley; City: St Helena Napa Valley California; Review: The Southbridge is a darliing hotel located in the southeast portion of the heart of St Helena. The rooms are open and spacious and though not fancy, are comfortably furnished with nice amenities. There are about 20 rooms and all have king sized beds, a coffee maker, wood burning fireplace, free wifi and a TV with a decent selection of channels. Included in the price of your stay is access to the spa, fitness facility and a continental breakfast that includes muffins, scones, bagels, meats, cheese, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, granola, coffees, teas and juices. What makes the Southbridge special is the excellent service. Don't be put off by the curt phone gals in reservations. The service from the front desk is super friendly and bends over backwards to please you. Kevin (who seems to be here 24/7) is so nice and is perfectly suited to the hospitality industry as he is extraordinarily helpful and cheerful. We came to St Helena to visit my son who atteneds the Culinary Institute here. (BTW, definitely try their restaurant at Greystone. It is excellent and run by the students. Food is great and reasonable. Lunch is seldom crowded.) Because he wasn't feeling well, we were able to convince him to stay with us. The front desk was so sweet about it and provided a roll-away bed at no extra charge. We are in a deluxe room and there was ample space to accomodate the extra bed. If I had to change anything about the hotel, I would update the bathrooms first (they're a bit tired), turn up temp on the water heater (I think the McDonald's suit has companies paranoid about burning people but the water for my bath never got hot enough) and install darker shades for the large windowed doors that lead to the cute Juliet balcony (the morning light that comes in was too bright IMHO). Overall, this is a well-located, sweet, boutique hotel with wonderful service. I would definitely stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Aloft Harlem; City: New York City New York; Review: Of all the hotels in the world, this is definitely one of them. Nothing remarkable in any regard. Easiest just to list the pros and cons: Pros: Good location easy walking distance to Columbia University Naja at the front desk is super sweet Housekeeping made sure my room was made-up even if I didn't leave my room until afternoon Rooms are fairly clean There's a small refrigerator in the room Cons: No dressers or drawers in which to place clothes. How strange is that? No tub and the shower was pathetic. More like a mister than a shower. Water pressure was non-existent and such a thin stream of water came out, by the time it hit your body, it was a mere suggestion of moisture. So frustrating. The AC is located two feet off the ground so the room would cool very slowly from the bottom up. To conserve energy, I leave the AC off when I'm not in the room. When I return and flip it on, my feet would get cold first and yet the air temp at shoulder level would still be roasting hot. A noticeable and peculiar sensation. Absolutely zero SPG platinum benefits. I couldn't even get two bottles of water for my daughter and I. No restaurant, gym, room service, spa, concierge, etc. It's a very basic hotel but it's clean and will, in fact, keep the rain off your head. :); Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
