Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: H10 Tenerife Playa; City: Puerto de la Cruz Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: We returned on the 25 th of Sept having spent 2 weeks in this hotel, and we are just, the 29 th, recovering from the stomach upsets which started 4 days after we arrived there, so don't forget to take your Immodium ! We chose this hotel for it's very nice position in the lovely town of Puerto De La Cruz and in this respect we had no disappointment but the hotel is now very "tired" in places , things like patched carpets on stairs and corridors and the rooms are not really 3 star, let alone 4 and there can't be many Spanish hotels that want to charge you for a fridge nowadays !The hotel has a large proportion of Spanish clients and has to cater for all tastes, but some of the tastes were truly horrible, like the orange juice in the morning, Personally I bought a carton from the supermarket and took that in to breakfast, but you could help yourself to Vodka with breakfast and the churros was very good as were the large variety of rolls and breads on offer. Evening meals seemed to be centered on pork or chicken , which the chef did his best to present. There were also a lot of published rules like long trousers in the restaurant in the evenings which got interpreted to no vests, and no reserving sunbeds in the morning which one pool attendant amended to let him put towels on particular beds for one German couple very early in the morning. Good points were pools were clean and tidy, and the lifeguard was always present and did enforce the no diving/lilo's rule, the animation girls worked hard and tried to encourage people and all the staff were genuinely pleasant and had all been there for a long time judging by the greetings they got from their returning Saga guests. Saga actually had a rep there 6 days a week and she really looked after her customers, the Thomson rep went under the guise of The Invisible Man ! Many customers, and that seemed to be mostly the Saga ones were going here several times a year and had been going here for many years and I think they were perhaps remembering how the hotel used to be , I don't think you will see me there again until the hotel has a refurb, although at £1400 for 2 weeks on half board and a trip on the new Boeing Dreamliner on the Tues 14.55 departure from Manchester I think I would have been satisfied but for the tummy bug.. Odd rooms between 505/525 are very good, top floor facing the pool but beware if you go with tour ops like Thomas Cook or JET2 as you will have to pay £200 extra for a balcony room, you get one as standard with Thomson/Skytours; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Sensimar Los Gigantes; City: Acantilado de los Gigantes Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: This is our 4th trip to this hotel , 2nd time since it has been a "Couples" hotel . The refurb of the hotel, particularily the public areas like the salt water pool, the snack bar, the evening bar and the terrace in the restaurant is very good , the rooms are a good size , excellent TV coverage and I don't even mind the shower curtains as long as there is plenty of hot water , which there is . We have stayed in sea view and the normal front rooms and quite honestly we find those far better, you have a view over the town, down to the harbour and along the front of the Los Gigantes cliffs , you don't roast on the balcony in the afternoon or evening and they are a lot cheaper ! The aircon in the bedrooms is also very good, there is no noise from the system at all, just plenty of cool air. The staff are all very good and friendly , except for some of the older waiters, but I suppose after 30 years of doing the same job we might all be a little miserable. Thomas , the restaurant manager is certainly a friendly character , and Martin , the Polish chef usually on the hot food grill is a really pleasant , and very helpfull, character. Fortunately his girlfriend has started this year as a waitress , and it was a pleasure to meet her too. The food starts to get boring towards the end of a fortnight , but I still put on too much weight but I blame that on the 1p a day upgrade to full board that was on offer when we booked , it even gave free drinks with your lunch and evening meals. A mention also to Elsie and Natalie , the animation girls , we didn't join in but they were still nice to know , as was Adrian , the Thomson rep. The only things wrong with the hotel are that the wifi just about copes with emails , provided there are not many attatchments, and the lifts are slow , the one on the left is really cronky and only takes 3 people, although there is a note inside saying they will carry 6 , they would have to be all children ! It was very noticeable how the average age of customers has come down with the Couples rebranding , a couple of years ago we , at 65, would have been the "youngsters" there , now there were couples there who didn't even look old enough to drink .Although the hotel will be fine for these folks I am not sure that the area will , there is not much to do around Los Gigantes , and don't you young gents forget to bring your long trousers , or they won't let you in for the evening meal. I am sure that like many people we will be going there again , one couple from Exeter we talked to; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pack o Cards Inn; City: Combe Martin Exmoor National Park England; Review: Went here for evening meal, group of six plus baby , no trouble getting a table but everywhere in N Devon seems quiet in mid July. Food and drinks orders taken at table , drinks served promptly , food took perhaps half an hour but no rush and at least you know it has been freshly cooked and it was. We had everything from curry through steak and ale pie and fresh haddock and all were good value for money , the only complaint was the portions of chips were too big , we had to leave some ! Good value, six main courses and drinks was £65 .Plenty of room inside, large beer garden and good car park; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Rudyard; City: Leek Staffordshire England; Review: Thirty of us went here for a pre arranged carvery after a walk round the lake on a busy Monday. Little wait at the bar but we did all arrive at once, the carvery was excellent quality and value at £6.50 , our party tried all the meats and vegetables on offer and nobody had any complaints, they deserve to do well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sandos Papagayo Beach Resort; City: Playa Blanca Lanzarote Canary Islands; Review: Just got back from a week here on the 7th May. I really don't understand some of the poor reviews of this hotel,it's almost like folk have reviewed a different hotel to the one I have been to. I think it was some of the best buffet food I have ever had, always something different in the meats and the salad bar was excellent,and I have never really eaten salad in my previous 70years ! Sweets could get a little boring,but they often seem to in Spain. Perhaps the Spanish don't eat them too much,I should imagine nearly half the guests were Spanish. The restaurant is big and could have felt a bit canteenish but as someone said the design made it feel less so,and you could always eat in the Italian area or outside but if you do go outside don't leave your food unattended for a second or a flock of sparrows will have it ! We never actually had any trouble getting a table where we wanted to be and I must say that the staff were very efficient at clearing tables and very pleasant too. Do try the Fusion restaurant too,still buffet but a nice style and it costs nothing. Rooms were great,we were in block C,2nd floor with the sea a few metres away looking over to Fuerteventura. As people have said this is a very big complex and we had great difficulty finding our room even though the very pleasant lady in Reception did give us a map and explain which way to go,it just seems illogical to be sometimes going up to go down ! After seven days we were managing to find out way around. Only complaints would be the most expensive room safe we have ever had,at 3 euros a night and why on earth do you have to pay a deposit of 20 euros in an electronic safe,it's not like you are going to bring the key home to the UK is it. The courtesy bus is a good idea but why on earth it goes to the middle of nowhere is a mystery. Oh,and the blasted spa girls,getting cornered four times a day about extortionate spa treatments was a nuisance,they couldn't even give away the free demos. I think a week was enough for me here,the hotel is the end of the line and if the weather was poor I should imagine it could be very boring and I don't really think I would go anywhere all inclusive again,I am not looking forward to the next couple of weeks dieting !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Weston Hall; City: Stafford Staffordshire England; Review: We went here to celebrate a family birthday,six adults a four year old and a two-year old. We eat from the set light lunch menu,three courses for £15.45 so really good value. We booked for a 12.30 table and understood that we had the table for two hours which was perfect timing for the meal. The building is very impressive,the Cellar bar almost feels medieval, plenty of easy car parking,the staff were young but very attentive and as usual it was a great experience, must try the afternoon tea though,but perhaps outside on the terrace on a nice summers day. !; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Enslaved: Odyssey To The West - Playstation 3; Brand: by
Bandai; Review: This game is pretty easy IMO. I think I beat the whole thing in about 12 hrs. total. It could've been better. But for the right price, it's worth adding to your collection.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Saints Row: The Third- The Full Package - Xbox 360; Brand: by
Deep Silver; Review: It is what it is. If your looking for realism in a game like this, look elsewhere. If you want over the top antics, fun story and general goofy chaos, then pick this up.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Batman: Arkham Origins - Playstation 3; Brand: by
WB Games; Review: Despite a different company being in charge of this game, it falls in line with the Arkham Arkham (AA) and Arkham City (AC) perfectly. As the title suggests, this is the beginning of Batman's career, essentially making it #1 in the trilogy. Gameplay, graphics, and controls are about the same as AA & AC. Overall, this took about 10-12 hrs to beat the story. However, there is alot to do for 100% completion. The one drawback for me was that some villains were VERY easy to defeat. By easy, I mean like doing one mission and done. Other than that, I recommend this. If you enjoyed AA & AC you'll be pleased. I'd rate this a 8 out of 10.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NHL 14 - Playstation 3; Brand: by
Electronic Arts; Review: Overall, this is a good NHL game. Graphics and gameplay are good. My only complaints are trying to make a team w/ all your friends on it using create player seems hard to figure out and commentary gets annoying at times. Other than that its good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection; Brand: by
Konami; Review: Overall, this collection is good. However, keep in mind that you do have to download MGS1 and VR Missions onto your system via a code included with the game. For that reason, I would NOT buy a used copy. As for the games, I don't really see much difference graphically in the older MG games that were on systems before PS3. The real star here is obviously the amount of titles you get for $20 and MGS4. If you don't have this game in your collection, you should. It is one of the best games for PS3 both in gameplay, story and graphics. If you looking to get MGS4 or just getting into Metal Gear games, I'd recommend getting this as opposed to just a single title, it is well worth the price and your time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: MLB 15: The Show - PlayStation 3; Brand: by
Sony; Review: MLB 15 The Show is a game that I would say is for the diehard baseball fan. I don't think casual fans would like it. For me, it is great. The amount of customization that you can do to your player, roster and team is exceptional. Graphics are top notch and maximise the PS3 limitations to the fullest. Gameplay involves a bit of knowing your situation that your in (here's where the diehard fan part comes into play) on the field. My only complaint is that this game lags ALOT. From online play to regular play, I find it usually starts in 3rd or 4th inning or if you have 2 or more runners on base. It takes about 2 innings for the system to "catch-up". It hasn't affected me to a point where I've lost because of it, it is just REALLY ANNOYING. Aside from that, if you a hardcore baseball fan and a gamer, you owe it to yourself to check out a MLB The Show game.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Video_Games |

Title: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring; Brand: Elijah Wood; Review: Being older than dirt I've read and reread the trilogy many times since the 60's. I reread it again just before the movie release. I went to the movie with zero expectations so as not to be disappointed. I came away one *happy* camper. The direction, costuming, casting, and makeup alone was worth ten times the ticket price. I went to see it a total of 3 times, and I wish I could see it again. I wait with great anticipation for the video release. Oh dear, I all but drooled on myself here...what would Galadriel think? ;o); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire; Brand: Eric Sykes; Review: Let me preface this by stating I am an eclectic practitioner, and in spite of that I enjoyed the first three movies enough to purchase them. I didn't see GOF in the theatre, but I bought the DVD anyway thinking it would be of equal quality. It is not. The writing competes with the direction for the title of bad. They could have cut out a large portion of boring fluff. I literally fell asleep watching it. Save your money.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Last Waltz VHS; Brand: Robbie Robertson; Review: In honor of Levon Helm's passing, I'm buying this again. Yes, it's THAT good. This is one video I can watch and step back in time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Snow White & the Huntsman; Brand: Kristen Stewart; Review: I bought the DVD version, and I wished I'd used my money on something else. They took all the best bits to create the trailer, and that made the movie look like it was going to rock. It didn't. I considered this a huge letdown. I've always loved Theron's acting, but she was just this side of campy trying to fit into the fairytale genre. The movie literally drags in many places...I wondered to myself if I was going to make it through it without falling asleep.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Star Trek Into Darkness; Brand: Simon Pegg; Review: The writers failed miserably on this one. They made the mistake of leaving out the wonderful humor that carried the first movie. I actually found myself muttering "Get on with it" several times.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

But after two years the plywood in the back snapped and one of the metal hinges snapped, I'm slightly disappointed, as i'm not close to the max weight for the chair.

Title: Christmas Lites II; Author: Visit Amazon's Amy Eye Page; Review: This book was fun from front to back. It is not my normal genre, but I thoroughly enjoyed the new spin on the holidays. I also got to be exposed to several authors that I have not heard of. I will be checking out their other work now too! Oh, and the book's proceeds go for a great cause? Bonus! Well worth it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Martian; Author: Visit Amazon's Andy Weir Page; Review: An anxious story that has you rooting for the main character all the way through. Suspense to keep you on edge and to keep coming back when you inevitable have to set it down for such things as work or feeding the kids....or to let your heart rate take a rest! Humorous and technical enough without killing the non-technically inclined. A thoroughly enjoyable ride!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Pestana Alvor Park Hotel; City: Alvor Portimao Faro District Algarve; Review: This hotel is brilliant so clean the staff are so happy and helpful . The bar area and restaurant which is run by victor Haitians and Elaine is superb and you couldn't wish to meet nicer people they were so friendly . It was a 5 min walk to the stunning beach and caves and a 15 min stroll to the main town with loads of bars and restaurants the fish is the best you would find anywhere in the world and also the people are very friendly .we have already booked to go back to the same hotel in September and can't wait to return to alvor thanks to everyone for a memorable holiday see you in September; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Samui Boat Lagoon; City: Bophut Ko Samui Surat Thani Province; Review: The villas are very spacious with air con in the bedroom which is needed as it never gets cold at night in the right season if you want a quite relaxing place with your own villa and pool at a very reasonable price then this is the place for you I can't recommend it highly enough the staff are very friendly and your villa is cleaned daily the taxi to fishermans village is 300-400 baht but there are plenty of restaurants within a 15 min walk with bars and some attractions it's a shame they don't have facilities on site for drinking and eating but they have all the facilities in your villa if you want to make your own food with 24hr supermarket 10 mins away were everything is cheap inc the beer and spirit we had a Thai meal delivered to us one night which we orderd through reception and we only waited 15 mins the food and cost was very good. They also do a free pick up and drop off at the airport which is very handy . All in all if I come back to ko samui I wouldn't hesitate to book this place again and a massive thanks to all the staff and team; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wotton House; City: Dorking Surrey England; Review: What a beautiful location for a wedding we was there for two days and on the first night we had a family BBQ it couldn't be faulted . The wedding morning we went for breakfast and although there was plenty of choice I was dissapointed in the quality and also Luke warm food and you wait an age for toast so on the next morning I didn't bother but all in all a lovely location and good friendly staff I wouldn't hesitate to go back some time but perhaps not for the breakfast; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Mitre Hotel; City: East Molesey Molesey Surrey England; Review: It's the first time we have been to this hotel and with a lovely warm sunny day all four of us sat right on the river and had a few beers and what a perfect spot it was with full sunshine all day and watching the boats and birds it was perfect we then booked Sunday roast inside looking over the river another perfect spot but I must say a little pricey for what we got chicken £17.00 lamb £19.00 beef £21.00 and not a lot of it but granted it is a hotel with views so can't complain too much and will return in the summer; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Sketches of the Wigwam eBook; Author: Visit Amazon's Mack Moyer Page; Review: This story alternates between smartassed hilarity and seriously scary (bordering on horrific when it gets to the gory parts). The author's voice is incredibly unique and the story takes a lot of turns and just doesn't stop assaulting you with visceral and very potent imagery. There are also moments of extremely poignant tenderness mixed with a sad melancholy that can only be expressed by someone who has lost or who feels lost. You can tell the writer is genuine in his emotions and has felt the things he writes about. Good read overall and looking forward to the next Mack Moyer work.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Soy Candle, Geranium, 7.2 Ounce Glass Jar; Brand: Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day; Review: I am giving this candle 3 stars because as a candle it is good. It burns nicely and seems to have a long life. I took off 2 stars for the actual fragrance of the candle. I love Mrs. Myers Lemon Verbena fragrance and use various products of hers with that fragrance. For me, however, it does not translate well to the candle. I did not like the smell at all. It smelled too much like a cleanser for me to enjoy the candle. I might buy another fragrance choice of this candle, but I would not buy the lemon verbena one again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Stained Glass Window Film Contact Paper; Brand: Kittrich Corporation; Review: This contact paper looks pretty in my drawers and shelves. The only thing is that it really is "stained glass" effect and the panels between flowers are "see-through" therefore it will turn the color of whatever you are putting it on. It will not look like the picture they show here unless you are adding it to white shelves/drawers. My shelves are Oak so the whole paper took on a very dark brown tint. Overall though I am pleased with the effect and think it looks pretty. I took off one star because it is not sticking super well on all the shelves even though I cleaned them thoroughly before placement. All in all though I am pleased with this paper.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Extra Weave Mardi Gras Handwoven Cotton Multicolored Rug, 44 x 72 Inches; Brand: HOME FURNISHINGS BY LARRY TRAVERSO; Review: I really love this rug. I think the colors are pretty and the rug itself is nicely made. For the price I think it was a very good deal. I am using it in my Kitchen which is a small/long galley style kitchen and the runner version of the rug fits it well. With the non-slip pad under the rug it is working really well. It makes standing at the stove/sink much easier on your feet. I would recommend this rug to anyone that wants a VERY colorful rag rug for their room.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Percy s Hotel; City: Virginstow Devon England; Review: It is a little too far to drive from Plymouth just for supper. We have eaten here five times and stayed once.We have always had an excellent meal. Sometimes the selection on the small carefully constructed seasonal menu is better than others. it is a converted old farmhouse with a newer bar section at the back. The owners previously operated a brasserie/restaurant in harrow. They are interested in race horses and have a determination to leave you alone during the day. Their dogs will lead you round the farmland which is unspoilt and has some replanted woodland. We think that the food/drink can be expensive. The operation seem s to be owned by a husband and wife team. The wife is an excellent chef. The husband has a superior and slightly patronising approach to front of house. There seems to be an excessive anxiety to preserve the purity of the experience he wants to provide which we think for most peole would not mesh with relaxation and the fun enjoyment of food. Thats a pity because within their own terms they try very hard. they do not seem to be aware of the impact of the product on the punters. The website is worth a look and with a bit of reading between the lines you will get the picture. Percy's remains one of our favourite restaurants. if we were close by and preferably with two four or more friends we would not hesitate to dine there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dartmoor Inn; City: Lydford Dartmoor National Park Devon England; Review: Neither cheap nor expensive. Good for what you pay. Well managed, comfortable and welcoming. possibly slightly snooty but not oppressive. Bit of a drive unless you're out on the moor. Good selection of food well presented. Sometimes a bit of a wait. Excellently kept beers.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Park Hotel; City: Barnstaple Devon England; Review: We went because we were a bit naive about the hotel website and there was no room elsewhere. First impression was mixed. Although beside a park the ground floor looks like a disused car showroom converted into not very busy offices. The rooms are very very ordinary and as described below have very dated fittings and furniture. Sheets and blankets instead of duvets make for a compressed and heavy sleeping experience. The rooms do smell 'musty' as if left less than completely clean and not aired for weeks. The staff have no spirit. The hotel has no sense of camaraderie or spirit and the food fell well below what anyone should expect, certainly at these prices. Form your own view but only select this hotel with your eyes open.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: L Empire Paris; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: Just off Rue St Honore not far from the river and at the Marais end of the North Bank this neat little hotel is well presented. We went with two teenage boys, only eat breakfast, didn't need internet or other facilities and really enjoyed the simple smart convenience. done it twice now and have since found somewhere in Rue des Beaux Arts on South bank we prefer but L'Empire is worth a go especially if it is a first visit to paris or you want a romantic hideaway. No noise problems but we have each time had a room overlooking an inside courtyard.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bovey Castle Hotel; City: North Bovey Dartmoor National Park Devon England; Review: We were grandma, grandpa, two couples and all the grandchildren. The late February weekend cost us the price of a brand new small car. It was money well spent on a great 80th birthday weekend for my mother. We needed somewhere within short driving distance of Plymouth and Exeter that also tolerated dogs. We all arrived early Saturday and left tea time Sunday. We had rooms for four adult couples at the front with excellent views and several twins at the back for the mostly early and mid teenage children. The rooms at the front were better and one on the top floor was a rambling suite that enabled us to drink our own champagne in liberal quantity at booze cruise prices before we went down to supper. We were greeted by a pair of slightly precious lads in full gillie kit, tweed waistcoats, britches and thick wollen stockings. Our less than Louis Vuitton cases were wrenched from the vehicles labelled and taken to the rooms while the cars were removed and driven to unseen parking areas return unwashed as we went to leave. The reception staff were superior and slightly patronising. We relaxed in a large high slightly gothic reception room with a large hot open fire where we spent a lot (as it turned out) on some delightful drinks and not bad snack lunches. The kids went off in a fleet of Range Rovers on a country house style sports jaunt (no, not killing animals for fun!) which involved archery, target shooting and other stuff. They swam a lot (with grandma) and the rest of us lounged about mostly drinking or eating extravagant cakes. Supper in the evening in the main dining room was not as relaxed or as spectacular as the website would lead you to believe but we did have a good time, one of the boys nudged the pianist in the lobby to one side and showed that he knew a good deal more about jazz blues and 'tunes from the shows'. grandma loved it. We were amply lubricated and only later watched it all reflected in the bill. Sunday morning was an OK but disappointing breakfast and the gillies reappeared for another set piece this time a huge bird of prey, squat on the broad forearm of a John Brown type, looking menacingly at photographers or any passer by. More birds shackled on perches on the terrace and lots of pensioners in Pringle sweaters setting off for the manicured but apparently unchallenging 18 hole golf course. Having had it all in our faces the previously day Sunday was slightly underwhelming. Not a bad lunch and we left having enjoyed ourselves being together and doing right by grandma. I am not sure this is the type of hotel I like. Converted and extended and 'improved' by a Peter de Savary company, from the excellent British Transport 'Manor House Hotel' built in fine style a hundred and more years before, I think I preferred it as it was before. it has gone from a laid back, way up; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wynn s Hotel; City: Dublin County Dublin; Review: Victorian with enough of the old feel. Not to smart. Plenty of wood. Good full irish breakfast. close to the Abbey Theatre and the river. A good place for a first city. We had no expectations but loved it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel de L Europe; City: Morlaix Finistere Brittany; Review: Right in the centre, get a room overlooking the viaduct. Reminded me of dozens of other classic middling French provincial small town hotels which seem to stay the same down the decades. It is yards from the morning market and three or four good restaurants and has an interesting but not exceptional one of its own. My kids like it. Pity the booze cruise out and back autumn/winter trips by brittany ferries to nearby Roscoff from Plymouth don't allow one night in Morlaix but when coming back from longer trips this hotel is perfect for that one night stay. Old panelling, eerie staircase, high ceilings and french plumbing; great stuff.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Eye Kettleby Lakes; City: Melton Mowbray Leicestershire England; Review: Lovely cabins, neatly laid out and will take some time to mature. well equipped and well tended. And you can bring your dog! Have heard that the restaurant which was very good while we were there may have closed earlier this year. The nearest local settlement is MM where everything revolves around its delusion that the world is fascinated with a particular design of pork pie. Better to buy one in ASDA on your way home and avoid this very dull town.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crooked Inn; City: Saltash Cornwall England; Review: Went to meet a friend from New Zealand who wanted to stay out of the city of Plymouth. Unusual when I went. A sort of small old farmhouse with a converted or extended block with rooms a bit like a cosy motel. Animals wandering all over including a huge pig that was allowed to shuffle through the bar. Food was extra large portions of 1980s folksy food, steaks cottage pies chips or mash simple curries and lots of puddings etc. OK if you like it but a very weird feel especially in the dark Also surrounded by a mobile home camp.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: St Mellion International Resort; City: Saltash Cornwall England; Review: For those entranced by some particular type of golf course this may be some kind of small time mecca but as a hotel for a major family event or quality accomodation it just does not rank. There are dozens of other places with picture windows and views but for more congenial furnishings food and staff. I do not know what kind of standards the decent folk of south east Cornwall expect but this place is vastly oversold, expensive, bland, tasteless and patronising without cause. We stayed because we wanted to stay up late with long lost friends and family and not have to drive home after drinking. in retrospect we should have got a taxi and also invited those others who stayed over to join us at our house for a decent breakfast. I do not recommend anything about this hotel. The significant rebuilding has not improved the ambience or service one jot. The food was middling or less.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel El Avenida Palace; City: Barcelona Catalonia; Review: We came overnight from Paris on an excellent trenhotel and just needed beds and bathrooms for a week in barcelona. This did that very well. the public rooms and restaurant in the hotel were a bit grand and not well serviced but we didn't need them. This hotel is Ok but there are dozens of others. Just look for the one with the best deal available when you book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Hampton s Hotel; City: Ilfracombe Devon England; Review: Ilfracombe is a dull soulless place but this small bed and breakfast is comfortable well run friendly and good value. The owners have gone to enormous effort which is reflected in first rate service and very pleasant if slightly idiosyncratic decor. Two comments but not real criticisms. The small flat screen tvs in our rooms had just four poor picture terrestrial channels from a Welsh transmitter. The steep winding drive was unlit and has some pot holes for the unweary unseeing pedestrian. The solar lamps on the steep steps were not working.That said I wholeheartedly recommend this extablishment.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Burgh Island Hotel; City: Burgh Island Bigbury on Sea Devon England; Review: We have been here for cocktails or got up parties so know that it is a very odd place and that the service and hospitality can swing from one extreme to the other. It is one of those hotels that is worth visiting because of its location history and the odd way it can operate.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: La Mamounia Marrakech; City: Marrakech Marrakech Tensift El Haouz Region; Review: On the cusp of world class and certainly one of the hotels you must not miss even if you only dine or drink here. In its heyday a favourite of Winston Churchill. it is currently pricey and some of the amazing service has slipped. But still one of the mose comfortable stylish and culturally different places there is.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: K K Hotel Fenix; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: Although prague is getting more expensive this is a good value high standard hotel very close to the Square and thus to most of the rest of the attractions particularly the old quarter. Sad to see the arrival of tesco and the steady loss of the stylish old basement clubs and restaurants so well preserved by the communists for their own pleasure.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Central; City: Bruges West Flanders Province; Review: Cheap basic hotel, adequate for a two night weekend.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn London Kings Cross Hotel; City: London England; Review: On a corner by the busy road and with only half decent air conditioning you cannot be guaranteed an uninterrupted night's sleep but this place is convenient to many a main line railway terminus. We use it if we are on a budget, getting to London late the night before a train trip to the continent and just want somewhere half civilised to crawl out of early in the morning. This place does that very well.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Future Inn Plymouth; City: Plymouth Devon England; Review: And surprisingly good value with constant discount deals. Flashy but not good in house restaurant, enticingly called the Fishbone. Plymouth airport (wittily referred to by locals as the Jannerdrome) is barely two minutes away and if you are visitinga friend or relative at the local general or Nuffield hospital then they are as close. This uninspiring and dominating building is off putting from the outside but the hotel rooms are good value.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cameron House on Loch Lomond; City: Alexandria Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Sc; Review: A fine setting, large price tag and fancy fittings do not alone make a smart top quality hotel. This place lacks the vital elements which is a pity. the restaurants aren't really up to it and there is a bit of a Centre Parcs feel. That said the access to this part of Scotland around and beyond the loch makes for an excellent holiday. Next time we will look out for a better and more friendly hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Lugger Hotel; City: Portloe Roseland Peninsula Truro District Cornwall England; Review: Famous name and fantastically situated but just not up to it. Its one of those attempts at a boutique style hotels that had a few early top reviews in the press and then stopped trying or forgot what makes a good to better hotel During our long weekend we were blessed with good walking weather and a fun little local pub. The hotel was self-consciously and unreasonably sure of its status. Routine requests were ignored or maybe forgotten, Minor complaints met with denial. The restaurant was bright modern with clean tidy waiting staff but the dishes were not uniformly well cooked or presented. One piece of fish was overcooked and some chicken may have been hazardously undercooked. If the reception staff or what passed as duty manager had been less concerned with the provision of snooty glossy magazines or name dropping and more with the day to day maintenance of proper services and standards then there would soon be a substantial improvement. I not surprised by the specific criticisms in earlier posts or the bland templated responses from the management.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Royal Seven Stars Hotel; City: Totnes Devon England; Review: It is clean tidy modernish with some strong modern decor verging on the idiosyncratic. It looks from all outside angles like a classic well established and successful coaching Inn set in a prime position in one of the UKs oldest settlements which has had a distinguished and popular appeal for many many centuries. Why then have they virtually gutted the interior, removed almost every vestige of the style and period feel of the place and replaced most of it with an already dated and slightly tarty and petulant decor that in no way reflects either the traditions of the hotel or the arty laidback and sometimes off the wall feel of the community? Inexplicable. That said, we had one nights bed and breakfast so that we could relax and lubricate ourselves during a day event locally, we had an unusual snacky lunch and a passable breakfast, the room and bedding were clean and we slept well. Presumably within a decade the interior will have to be re-dun and a hard decision will have to be made whether to repeat the never ending modernising policy and revert to a well equipped traditional style befitting the regency architecture. I do not, of course, mean horse brasses or hunting prints.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Seaview Hotel; City: Seaview Isle of Wight England; Review: A monied self regarding established second home and holiday settllement right by the water and with a fleet of alarmingly uniform varnished clinker built dinghies neatly moored across the front. NQOCD but we called in and had a very tasty well prepared and good value lunch, served quickly and politely. Nice little hotel - from what we saw.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Royal Fortescue Hotel; City: Barnstaple Devon England; Review: The frontage looks as though its an archetypal olde English coaching inn and maybe it once was but it is tired and jaded and lacks the traditional bustle bonhomie or attention to detail. The reception and night portering staff were keen to please but the bedrooms were 1960s in equipment and decor, the dining areas were bland and matter of fact nd the place seemed to rely a good deal on large groups of pensioners. We didn't mind the background street noise, the position in the heart of the old town is good. The adjacent 'Bank' brasserie which was linked by an internal door was the better place to eat.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Lluc Monastery; City: Lluc Majorca Balearic Islands; Review: Lovely setting and good value menu. a great way to break the trip up into the mountains and after a walk around this peaceful and spiritual community. Better in the cool of inside than outside in the sun at lunchtime.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Woolacombe Bay Hotel; City: Woolacombe Devon England; Review: Looks OK from outside, reasonably done out inside, nothing startling or stylish but good views on the seaward side. We had a good weekend although largish company and work gatherings dominated the evening activities in the main rooms.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Thurlestone Hotel; City: Thurlestone Devon England; Review: Fashionable neighbourhood village with slightly less upmarket hotel but this hotel is still reasonably good. the south facing rooms all have good views across the small golf course to the sea. There is a good terrace and separate area to drink and eat outside. The interior rooms are a bit dated and not that stylish but the hotel has a comfortable feel and is moderately well equipped. We had an enjoyable weekend which incorporated a wedding at the local church and village hall and we got comfortably lubricated in the convivial village pub which seemed to be adjoining and possibly run by the hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Rialto; City: Venice Veneto; Review: Right by the Rialto Bridge and about 100m from the stop for the waterbus from Marco Polo this place suited us well. The deal including a basic buffet breakfast was good value but the room was smallish, the bathroom while well put together was compact and had only a shower which was disappointing after long walks. The reception is busy at most times so with the old 'hand in and collect your key' system we often had to wait ten or fifteen minutes and also felt that since there was no recognition or identity check the security in the room was poor. The lift only covered part of the building and we were routinely confronted with three flights of stairs. The TV had BBCW blocked, but we had a good holiday.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Boringdon Arms; City: Plymouth Devon England; Review: Live locally so haven't stayed, but have frequently eaten and drunk in this highly thought of old village inn, now in a fashionable suburb close to the Plym estuary. For a decade or more known as an hospitable real ale pub with generous and tasty pub food, there seems to have been some slight faltering. The excellent range of tasty pies was stopped a while ago and recently there was an offer of two lunches for a fiver. But the beer remains good and its still an authentic hospitable pub. My average marks for the B&B are because the Tripadvisor software insists I complete all sections! I would score the pub element a three approaching a four.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Weary Friar Inn; City: Saltash Cornwall England; Review: Look at the pictures on the website. My parents brought me here as an early teenager in the late sixties and the building bar and eating area do not feel as if they have moved on. Neither then nor now did we stay in or use the upstairs rooms so because the software will not let us avoid marking the accommodation, we have given average. As to the bar it was fair to middling. A little on the olde englishe side and without the raucous conviviality that would have made it fun or authentic. The food and the carpet in the dining area are set in the time when I was brought as a kid. I would not have been surprised to have seen scampish or chicken in the basket available to the pensioners in the bar or Black Forest Gateau in the dining room. This is a fine old building but I can't help feeling that it would have been much more fun with locals swilling well kept ale and simple tasty fodder at long trestle tables. If I survive I shall come back in another thirty years to see how things have shaken down.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mother Ivey s Bay Holiday Park; City: St Merryn Padstow Cornwall England; Review: A well situated long established site with a large closely packed selection of residential vans, many owed for several decades by the same Plymouth families who have gradually edged their way to the plum pitches on our near the front. Lots of people know each other which can make it foolish for one off or new visitors. The facilities including the shop aren't great and the permanent staff including security could be better trained politer and more in touch with punters' needs. There are sporadic power problems and there is recurrent sewage difficulty still not entirely resolved. That said it is a good place, family orientated. If you want more lively evening entertainment you need access to a car.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Blu Edwardian Manchester; City: Manchester Greater Manchester England; Review: Spent two nights in a fourteenth floor room facing over Albert Square etc. Interesting view especially on a bright morning. Comfy bed, reasonable facilities, could have done with biscuits for morning drink, only big towels. Small old B&O tv was a bit of a let down as we tried to watch the highlights of the pie throwing at Murdoch at the Parliamentary Committee hearing. The position is convenient to all we wanted or had to do in the city. The reception area had a slightly disconcerting air freshener smell every time we walked through and this pervaded the lift. Not sure if this betrayed a problem or was deliberate. Couldn't quite catch the symbolism of the large pile of bright green Golden Delicious apples between the complimentary right wing broadsheet newspapers on the fourteenth floor landing and it was a novelty to bounce along the flush carpeting the corridor to our room that had so much underlay that it reminded us of a modest garden trampoline. But this was a comfortable hotel, we were treated courteously and we had a good time. Pity there were no opportunities to use the much advertised basement pool and other facilities.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Great Western Hotel; City: Exeter Devon England; Review: I tried to have the catering listed under Tripadvisor restaurants with no luck so having to review it here. The franchised Pumpkin Cafe on the station is basic and pricey so we came over to the GWH which is a good hospitable place if you anything over 45mins to kill. Of course it needs sprucing up but thats half the character. The snacky or light meal food is very good value and mostly tasty. There is also proper beer. I liked it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Cartier; City: Saint Malo Ille et Vilaine Brittany; Review: Came on a three day two night November deal with Brittany ferries. No complaints. Good little French three star hotel on a central site on a fork near most points of interest. Polite efficient staff, smallish first floor room with comfy bed biggish bathroom with welcome wet room style two person shower and adequate flat screen tv with ample French and British satellite channels. Well kept. Good spread breakfast in ok but windowless basement room which gets eerie in the low season if other couples stay silent for fear of being overheard. Minor gripe bathroom lights not bright enough for a wet shave. WiFi a bit hit and miss. Petty. So generally very pleased with price deal and accommodation.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Stag s Head Inn; City: Filleigh South Molton Devon England; Review: Only just noticed that the Staggs Head has a Tripadvisor listing. We came here for a lunch with our sons who were at school close by. Potentially all the components of a lovely old thatched pub in a solidly rural and affluent area. Inside was a bit busy even on a weekday. Not very well organised or welcoming. Limited but adequate outside bench seating separated from the road by a big hedge. Routine but uninspiring pub food. Might be a useful drinking haunt if someone else is driving but sadly didn't gel for us.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Kingsway Hall Hotel; City: London England; Review: We got our room for one night on a late deal and were then upgraded without asking. The room was comfortable, good en suite and the TV worked except for the hour when BBC 1 was frozen. Air conditioning got a bit cold and noisy on what was a balmy night and the room warmed quickly when we turned it off. Our room was on an inner large light well and there was no traffic noise, we didn't take the breakfast option choosing instead to go for a good cafe close by. The reception and portering staff were polite and efficient on arriving and leaving. This hotel is very convenient to Holborn tube but also easy walking distance from Coventry Garden, Soho and the interesting venues in the west end and on the south bank. We generally like to find somewhere new on each visit to London but if a late deal threw this place up again we'd have no problem with it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: L Empire Paris; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: We don't always stay here but are happy to be back. First came when it was a new conversion. The decor hasn't changed but is looking a little worn in places. The staff are still very helpful and the bonuses are as before, the very good sized rooms, the simple restful furnishing and the excellent location. Pretty well everything is within easy walking distance as are the two nearest Metro stations. We had a slight disruption to our Last Minute booking, not sure whether they or the hotel had allowed a double booking of one of our rooms but it was flagged up early and resolved on our second day with no more than a move from one room to another with a compensatory upgrade. We used to have breakfast here but it is a bit expensive, the room narrow and everyone instinctively appears at about the same time so this year we did what is often a better bet and got the room only deal and had a series of much cheaper and probably more fun and relaxed breakfasts at two or three of the close local cafe bars. A couple of (I hope temporary) warnings. There are substantial building works taking place to the gutted interior of the shop front a few doors south on the corner of the Rue de Rivoli which on weekdays has been producing audible construction noise at varying levels from about seven am. Secondly, our rooms this year were big and pleasant but on the lower ground floor around the central light well with the palm tree etc. there is a bit more than sporadic housekeeping noise down here, some from from what may be the coming and going from the linen etc store and some from outside. Not a deal breaker. Finally the dining room switches to neon lit quasi cool cocktail bar in the evenings. Several subtle efforts were made by the otherwise foolproof reception staff to coax us in. But it was always empty and a bit pricey. If you want to booze and schmooze that close to home the bar/cafes at the northern end of the street are OK but the little Garderobe wine bar roughly opposite the hotel entrance is quite fun even if it has some features of a late 1990s London yuppie bar with suits and preppie punters.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Tiverton Hotel; City: Tiverton Devon England; Review: We stayed here because it was walking distance of a large party close by. It served its purpose. It does look dated and weathered. Reminded me a bit of a mature private hospital wing. Mid 1970s at the latest I would guess. The reception and ground floor bar/dining room are very dull but we only had to use them for some slightly expensive but reasonable if small sandwiches at lunch time before we set out and a homely but ample selection of breakfast in the morning. The queue for the hot food might have been less if it had bern self service or if the earnest young lady serving had not had to disappear repeatedly whenever a hot tray ran low. Our room was largish. The large bed comfortable and the carpet almost sumptuous. The sound and picture quality on the litle TV was only adequate for the day's Olympic roundup. I confess I did not enquire at reception but when I tried for WiFi I got no response on my phone or ipad. We thought we were lucky to be on the first floor on the same side as the little river, rather than the car park/road, until we returned at about midnight and realised that the room was very not, there was no air conditioning and when we opened the windows there was a loud and constant sound of rushing water, apparently over a small weir. Each time we closed the windows it became unavoidably too hot again. Consequently I got barely half an hours sleep. I suspect that if it is hot weather and you are a light sleeper it may be sensible to ask for a room in another part of the hotel. The extractor in the bathroom also made a loud abrasive noise which carried on very audibly well after the light was turned off. Staff were efficient and polite. No problems with booking and we could have cancelled at no charge up until 4pm the day of arrival.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hilton London Wembley; City: Wembley Greater London England; Review: Match ticket prices had been slashed to produce a full house so we booked in for the one night. This hotel was a fair price and in its position on the right beside the Wembley Arena and probably no more than a hundred and fifty metres from the football stadium made it unbeatable. Can't be sure but appeared from the activity when we booked in, that we were sharing the place with the San Marino team and entourage. Booking in was faultless, the building is simple neat and smart, our room on the fifth floor was well equipped and laid out, our window looking directly at the north east aspect of the stadium with a clear view and sight of the Bobby Moore statue. We had the bed and breakfast deal. Breakfast was the full continental and cooked option with no fuss or pretentions. An entirely satisfactory experience. Only one slight reservation which was the lack of free wifi. If we had been in on one of the business deals or had some loyalty scheme called somethIng like Hilton Honours or similar, then we would have got it but for the rest of us it's something like £15 a day which can hardly be justified in any hotel these days. But we would stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Fox Club; City: London England; Review: No idea this place existed until late the previous evening when it popped up on Late Rooms. Turned out it was perfectly situated just yards off Piccadilly at Green Park and a five minute walk from the RO-SL where we had a dinner event. There was a very slight mix up over the room because of an inadequate email from LR but this was resolved entirely satisfactorily by the Fox Club within minutes of arrival. This is an old house well adapted as a private members club with bar and good quality dining room as well as the nine bedrooms. We used eight and seven which are very well decorated and on the upper floors. There is no lift, probably because of the age, configuration and importance of the classic building which was the home for many years of the Whig radical and notorious politician Charles James Fox. The staff throughout our stay were informal friendly and entirely helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and very well equipped. I was not aware of any traffic noise. My only petty gripe was the lack of a shaving mirror. Wet shaving without being able to get close enough to the main bathroom mirror can be mildly hazardous. But this place scores 98% on everything else. The various and steady stream of members in the cosy little bar and dining room suggest that this is a civilised but unstuffy set up. As hick rustic folk from the far south west we would not get enough use to justify membership but we will certainly prefer this delightful place to others on our three or four trips to London each year. If you are planning a weeknight then you will probably need to book a lot further ahead than we did.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel du Vin Bistro; City: Bristol England; Review: Came here as a couple for one night mid-November. No car so no parking difficulty. Polite efficient reception. Like the last contributor, the insistence on £50 on your card beyond the room and food price, jarred. To be fair the booze with supper absorbed a good deal of this, but isn't the credit card number enough to allay any fear of making off without payment? Our room (Taittinger) was second floor, passable street view, big room, very well equipped, plenty of seating, tables etc and the biggest bathroom (with large walk in shower) that we have yet had in a hotel. Moderate drone from air conditioning and some heavy footfalls from above after 7.30 am. All round very comfortable and pleasant. Better than anywhere else we have yet stayed in Bristol. We're not local so can't talk about the general feel of the place, nor have we been to any other the other dozen or so other hotels in the chain, so can't comment on how this one compares. As reviewed elsewhere the bistro was very enjoyable for supper. Although every time we passed through reception it was evident that the hotel is used for many business meetings and has a high proportion of business customers, the general feel is very laid back and relaxed. Would probably stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge London Central Southwark; City: London England; Review: We worked out that it was just cheaper than the nearby Premier Inn and rather less than the Holoday Inn Express. Our room was high up and on the eastern side so we had plenty of noise from pairs of railway lines in two separate directions. The room was a bit smaller than any I can remember but it was a big comfy bed and the TV worked. The usual side issues with this price for an hotel in Central London, no bath, the bathroom mirror steamed up and the bent couldn't clear it. Difficult to get close enough to it to wet shave safely. The adequate hair dryer, easily obtained from reception did not have a long enough flex to stretch from the nearest plug to the bedroom mirror. No beside tables to put your glass or bottle, book or false teeth on, just a small shallow alcove in the bedhead. The two LED reading lights on flexy tubes seemed to have been bent too often and hung limply illuminating only the floor. The air conditioning, which we needed from time to time when the room became a little stuffy because we could not open the window, was fearsome and produced an icy blast within minutes of a standing start. BUT these rooms are just so cheap and the site only a genuine five minutes walk from the Jubilee Line Southwark station, that it is impossible not to score it a five.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hostelpoint Brighton; City: Brighton East Sussex England; Review: Acceptable place for the price. Looks as if a decade ago it was giving a good makeover but has been left since. The basic amenities are there but someone needs to spend a few weeks with a paint pot, a carpet layer's make and mend kit and a handyman's tool box, just to sort out the irksome and obvious snags.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Allstay Hop Art House; City: London England; Review: We rented this mini apartment for three nights and would not hesitate to come back. It is very convenient to the east end of the south bank, all features of London Bridge station, Borough Market, a cluster of gold old pubs with Tower Hill and all the rest not far off. It's affordable and a good place to be. The booking arrangements went smoothly, the flat on the third floor was exactly as described. Not top notch luxury but fresh simple and comfortable. It was easy to spend half an hour stocking with the usual soft and hard drinks, breads, cheeses and cold meats from the market across the road, wines from Oddbins, Leathwaites or one of the other good wine shops within a stones throw. Just a few gripes you may want to anticipate but nothing maintenance can't resolve in minutes. The key pad on the main entrance are unpredictable and unreliable. And you only get one flat door key which for a two doubled bedded place is not great. The big mat in our living room curled at two corners and caused several trips till we devised a knack. The balcony doors could not be opened and the two wall lights in the non food zone were not working which curtailed reading and made needlepoint hazardous. In the two bathrooms even one coat hanger would have been helpful and maybe essential for clothing, towels or wash bags. The free wifi was reliable but painfully slow. We will come back if they let us. In its price range, highly recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Motel One London Tower Hill; City: London England; Review: Never been to one of these before. Not a bad deal, although £30 more than the sign on the front window. Polite helpful staff, although the card reader fell apart twice at reception and a good deal of the paperwork was in German only as was the log in process on the otherwise very fast free wifi.. Pleasant lobby with space to work. Hot drinks and booze a bit pricey. Bit of a walk and several fire doors from lift to room. Bedroom has a comfy bed, great view across the city from the 11th floor but room itself very small. Moveable table with a stool but work surface the size of a tea tray. No phone to reception. Bathroom not bad at all although the shower compartment didn't stop a lot of water covering the non draining floor. My night £128. Didnt take the breakfast option but there's a lot of places close by. I think I would use the place again, unless there were a deal at a more comfy hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chamberlain Hotel; City: London England; Review: Stayed in a hotel up the road that only had a bland cafe lounge on its ground floor. Chose to get out to relax and called in here. Although it's an hotel itself it doubles well as a pleasant welcoming and easy going pub with well kept ales.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: South View Lodges; City: Exeter Devon England; Review: The lodges are modern and well equipped. Midges inhibit use of the hot tub but the beds were comfy, the bathroom efficient and the big open kitchen diner living room worked well and opened through the stoop onto the well stocked lake barely 12 feet away. The only aesthetic jar was the peculiar suburban concrete fountain set incongruously in the mid the of the pond. The wifi works well and the SamsungTV even with only Freeview isn't bad. We like this place; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Bromley Court Hotel; City: Bromley Greater London England; Review: Stayed on a Sunday night for about £80 with breakfast. Problem parking because there was a wedding party. On street parking not easy either. Efficient book in. It feels like a much altered and frequently added to hotel perhaps a hundred years old. My double room felt small but the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning effective and not too intrusive on a hot humid night. I had no view to speak of on the second floor but was away from the noise of the party. A series of slight gripes. Lift not really big enough for two people with a bag each. Much of wardrobe occupied by a hanging ironing board and iron blocking easy access to the other hangers. The mini bathroom had all the necessary but the water was still only running tepid after five minutes which was not good for a shave and consequently I gave up on trying to have a shower.Nedside light switches not easiest. The bar snacks are expensive. Bromley High Street with its little restaurants and takeaways is just less the 20 minutes walk. Breakfast was OK. Would have liked to have been able to open the door and use the tables just outside in the pleasant garden. Breakfast wasn't bad. The little croissants may have come out of a bag and were dry. The cooked breakfast wasn't hot enough, the bacon unsmoked and undercooked with a deal of raw fat. The coffee was brought to the table but the pot barely one cup full and smaller than the accompanying milk jug. On balance all marginally disappointing. But when it comes down to it, I was dealt with efficiently, I slept well and breakfast was enough. For the price it was good value and served its purpose. Better all round I think than the lodge hotel down in the town.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge London Central Southwark; City: London England; Review: Back again. Still no hair dryers in the rooms. Basic facilities, lagging slightly behind Premier Inns but this bed was more comfortable than the last one of theirs. Friendly staff. Breakfast on site and close to the days meeting just up the road. Pleasant late afternoon walk over the bridge to Mansion House to get the tube back to Paddington.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Cheltenham Central West A40 Hotel; City: Cheltenham Cotswolds England; Review: Stuck out here because all mid priced hotels in Birminham were fully booked way in advance for the Tory party conference. A fair walk in the dark from the railway station. Definitely on the wrong side of the tracks/Cheltenham for easy access to a decent evening meal. Stuck with TGI Fridays and a large table of affable but shrill screeching 14 year old girls. Room OK maybe a bit tired and in need of updating. Didn't have a great night's sleep. TGI's the only breakfast option. I was pitched out here by force of circumstances but if you are coming to the town to enjoy Cheltenham then I strongly recommend somewhere more central and better equipped.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Plymouth City Centre Lockyers Quay Hotel; City: Plymouth Devon England; Review: When booked many weeks ahead advised that parking was £3 overnight but on arrival it had risen to £5. Apparently some locals use it as a daily carpark. Eventually reception reduced our charge to rate at time of booking. Also be warned that this premier inn appears to have no lift..; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn London Southwark Borough High St Hotel; City: London England; Review: We know this area well because we have stayed around here before. We like the Premier brand if we are unable to get a last minute heavily discounted hotel. This part of Southwark has plenty going on and is well connected by London Bridge Station. Borough market is a delight that never palls. This new hotel is a stone's throw from market, station and the southbank walk past the Globe and all the rest back west towards all the arty goodies. But something strange is happening inside this new hotel. The rooms are to the usual standard but as recently described by another reviewer the standard of communal,facilities is shabby grubby and slapdash. Unless we are at a Premier Inn out in the wilds we would not use the basic in house catering. Here in Southwark there is absolutely no need because there are so many options for cheap or extravagant breakfasts or suppers. I think it is likely we would come back to this hotel because of its location and I cannot believe that the management will already be taking the place by the scruff of the neck to deal with the very obvious and unacceptable failings.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Boringdon Arms; City: Plymouth Devon England; Review: This is a good suburban village pub with well kept beer and above average pub food. If you come ashore from the ferry, marina etc or make the long trek or drive around via Laira bridge then it's a very pleasant place to drink with or without food. For some strange reason it does not show up in the Plymouth pub listings and tends to get ignored. Apparently there is a non Plymouth listing as a pub under 'Turnchapel' which isn't really much use. The other also busy pub in this street has two Plymouth entries, restaurant and pub. The Borringdon Arms ought to do the same. When I hadn't seen it in the Plymouth pub list for many years I thought it had simply closed down.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Bristol City Centre; City: Bristol England; Review: Booked for me for work, possibly a business room. Good average facilities. Bed, pillows, bathroom OK. Decent sleep. Very convenient to Temple Meads and work venue. Didn't fancy the limited evening food facility. Didn't want to use WS or the wine place but it's so close to the excellent Don Giovanni's that there was no problem. Simple light breakfast and OK and some people could take away baps in a box filled from the buffet. Hotel fit for purpose.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Macdonald Burlington Hotel; City: Birmingham West Midlands England; Review: It was booked for me, possibly some kind of deal and very convenient to the station. Reception OK but I had no warning that my second floor room was not on the same level as the second floor lift stop. I had to carry my three bags up a flight of stairs and when I got to the room I struggled to turn on the light because the card unit was just above eye level so I could see for ages how it fitted in. The room was OK. There was a peculiar picture and the bed was disarmingly squashy unlike anything I have tried to sleep in for years. Went down to find a drink and some supper but the bar was a smallish room and adjoining it a restaurant which had the look and feel of a school dining hall and was painfully brightly lit. I decided to go out and back the short distance to the station food area where I found that the Pho chain had a branch which was good.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ye Olde Nags Head; City: Castleton Hope Valley Peak District National Park England; Review: First came here forty odd years ago while on a school cadet force 'arduous training' week out on the Peak. Inevitably snook down here and were surprised that as mid teenagers got served without challenge. Slightly nostalgic return experience. Fair bit of change here and in the town but this pub is still a pleasant place for a couple of pints.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Novotel Bristol Centre; City: Bristol England; Review: Booked by work and a bit more expensive than usual. Still a functional hotel, not sure what the extra pays for. You get a hair dryer without asking, there was a nifty moving table that made better use of the space but the sheets weren’t that smooth or comfortable which I suppose is down to a low thread count or dodgy detergent at the laundry. The non cooked breakfast option was let down by the predominance of melon but I forgave that because I could still remember the particularly satisfying club sandwich in the bar the night before.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn London Southwark Tate Modern Hotel; City: London England; Review: Booked for me at short notice for work. Simple functional room. Slept fairly well. Window open a few inches all night. Usual basics in room. Bed and breakfast deal. Snook out to a a Burrito place just around the corner. Breakfast inhouse ranged from healthyish to a great pan of sausages. I was OK with kind and healthy smoothie but my yoghurt was cold to the point of crystals in the supporting solutions and the berries were frozen solid. Convenience to work in Southwark Bridge Road meant only a short walk. Close also to new back of Tate Modern and only a gentle stroll to all my the delights of the South Bank.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Bristol City Centre; City: Bristol England; Review: Booked same day by work. Convenient for day’s commitments. Welcoming free cookie at booking in. Reasonable view from room - across flat roof towards good aspect of Mary Redcliffe. Room OK, best towels I’ve had in a hotel in a long while. Good club sandwich for light supper. Friendly staff, no complaints.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Boringdon Arms; City: Plymouth Devon England; Review: Came back here for lengthy gathering after large funeral of friend and colleague who died suddenly and too soon. Just right, exactly the right seting, great booze and the rest, in the local pub he loved so much.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Roffey Park Institute; City: Horsham Horsham District West Sussex England; Review: Here on a short residential training course. The building(s) are sprawl a bit. It seems to operate as an hotel when rooms are not taken but it it is predominantly a specialist management training centre but with good facilities also well suited to big family, corporate or group events eg weddings. You may have to walk a manageable distance from bedroom or training room to the restaurant or bar but no chore. The bedrooms are comfortable and properly equipped as are the trading facilities. Trainers seem to be employed by Roffey Park with extra associates where required. The staff are also employed and were consistently friendly and helpful. The bar was pleasant, neither golf clubby nor RBL feel. The food in the restaurant was good and you could use the swimming pool if you thought to bring your togs. There are views across into woodland and plenty of space to walk or to find places to sit and relax or reflect. I was not surprised to learn that Roffey Park had apparently been set up originally as a rehabilitation centre for wartime casualties. I would recommend it. Helped too by not having to pay for myself.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Pig at Combe; City: Honiton Devon England; Review: Some experience of Coombe House about three decades ago. The new business is significantly different in so many ways. Bucket loads of novelty glossy mag decor, much aesthetically pleasing bringing on a smile, providing you have leapt out of everyday routines and don’t rile at small pockets of other residents determined to overplay the flavour and novelty. Once you’ve adjusted to the glut of Liberty’s sale glasswear fabrics and sofas you can just glide through and are very likely to feel restored enervated and better for it. And then back to your other life.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton London Metropole; City: London England; Review: I only came here because the room booked for me near Marylebone Station had been unbearably hot and impossible to work or sleep in. I was probably lucky to find anywhere local to the venue for my training course. The room here had a ‘cooling system’ which was one up on the previous place but didn’t seem to have the attributes of AC. I was able to sleep and able to do some work although the shinny top of the mini desk was too slippery for my mouse. The TV was not fixed to the wall but balanced atop an old unit which looked once to have maybe contained a booze fridge. The bathroom was OK but in the morning I discovered the hairdryer only blew cold which I only discovered when my hair was wet, too late to get to reception to beg for a swop. I didn’t eat in during the evening but when I got back to the hotel after supper my door card didn’t work and reception replaced it but insisted (wrongly) that I must have carried it near my phone or other cards. Breakfast was unremarkable although the orange juice was strangely thick, beyond gloopy. The part of the hotel I stayed in seemed to be work in progress on refurbishment, one set of lifts worked much better than the other, an ironic reflection of the set up as a whole.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: My Ribeira Guest House; City: Porto Porto District Northern Portugal; Review: We aren’t staying at the hotel/apartments but there is no separate listing. We had an uncomfortable experience across the lane at the wine place there so we came in here and met the very affable friendly English speaking host who could not have been more helpful. He found us a perfect local mellow fruity red wine and was happy to brief us on a lot of what we had not yet discovered about this medieval and generally old area of Porto. Highly recommended. Snacks too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Merchant House; City: Truro Truro District Cornwall England; Review: In Truro for work. Room booked for me. Parking in front and more at the back. They don’t do supper but they do complimentary tea and cake in the communal room between 1 and 6 but, because we work, this had finished before we got back. Room was OK, slept reasonably, woke at least a couple of times maybe because I felt hot. Didn’t bring the dog but noticed that around the side there was what I took to be an outdoor doggy shower and wash facility which is one up on what we have at home. Staff were polite and helpful. It’s a brisk walk into the heart of Truro and we went out to eat rather than bring in a takeaway. They apparently allow this rather like pubs who dont offer their own food. We gave breakfast a miss but only in order to move on for a working breakfast. This small independent family hotel met our need for overnight accommodation.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Bristol Holland House Hotel Spa; City: Bristol England; Review: Just one night. Booked by the office so couldn’t have been expensive. Large room with two double beds just for me. Had to do some prep so decided not to leave the hotel for supper, instead ate in. The restaurant had no one at all in it so fell back on a chicken thingy at a table in the bar area where the main feature was a tv. Slept reasonably well. Adequate but wouldn’t rush back.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Bristol City Centre; City: Bristol England; Review: My office paid a bit more than £100 for one person for one night. Which ain’t so great. This place is beginning to age. Won’t have happy memories of this time. The cumbersome air conditioning unit cut in about five times overnight waking me either because of the noise or the chill breeze. Nothing I could do at the time the stopped the repetitions.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Bristol Grand Hotel; City: Bristol England; Review: Didn’t stay but here today for an all day management team meeting. Very pleasantly surprised by the selection, quality, tastes and combinations. Too much to list but It was genuinely better than expected. If it’s consistently like this then I’d be happy to support choosing the Grand again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Royal Horseguards; City: London England; Review: Couldn’t have been better. We came on a Thursday as a three generation family group of nine for my widowed mother’s 90th birthday treat. She had a delightful room overlooking the Embankment, river and South Bank and all our rooms were conveniently close on the sixth floor. Reception was welcoming and efficient. Ample staff at every turn. Out own room was spacious, very comfortable, fully equipped with everything we needed and would expect with a good deal more. Communications faultless. Apart from a first rate breakfast before we left on Saturday, we didn’t eat in because we were determined to cast ourselves around the town. Taxis were instantly available from the front door and everything we planned or stumbled upon very short times away. The hotel has a relaxed but smartish feel, is very well situated, great use has been made of a stylish and luxurious nineteenth century residential block with a good deal of history not least among past residents and organisations. We had a slight glitch over lost railway tickets and cards on the final morning - absolutely no fault of the hotel, but the reception staff, particularly ‘Prem’ went to considerable efforts to help and could not have done more. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and would dearly like to return soon.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Quality Inn Orlando Airport; City: Orlando Florida; Review: I stayed in this hotel 2 times, the 1st when I arrived in Orlando, and 2nd when I returned from Daytona Beach. It is great the fact that the hotel is close from the airport and that they have a shuttle to pick you up there and give you a ride back when you leave. It is easy to go to Universal (=Harry Potter, Simpsons, Spiderman) from there (catch bus 42 or 111 and transfer to bus 37 at Florida Mall) or to Disney (catch bus 111), since the bus stop is just a few meters away! If you want to go to Orlando Outlets at International Dr catch bus 42. This is not a 5* hotel, with continental breakfast... but the hotel and breakfast are good enough to make a reservation for you and your family (kids included!). It is calm, clean (if you find a problem just report it to the receptionist and ask them to chance your room- when I stayed there the 2nd time it seemed that the housekeeper forgot to clean the toilet... so I asked to change rooms... and the other was just perfect). It is also good for those that go to Orlando in business... you have free internet! Some of the receptionists could be better informed on how to reach the main attractions in Orlando by public transportation, but I was lucky to talk with the one of the shuttle drivers that answered all my questions. The only negative aspect of the hotel were the attitude of some of the receptionist, who were more preoccupied with their text messages than with the client. Their attitude can be easily improved, the image of an hotel depends also on this!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Estoril Porto; City: Porto Porto District Northern Portugal; Review: Stayed there in 2005 for 2 days and needed to stay another day in Porto and decide to move to another hotel. If you want a great hotel with a low price go to Residencial Grande Oceano or to Grande Hotel Paris, just 200 meters away from this place.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Grande Oceano Guest House; City: Porto Porto District Northern Portugal; Review: This is the play to stay if you want a clean room for a great price in the city center (200 meters from the railway station and 500 meters from the bus station). You don't have breakfast but for the price is more than acceptable, but you can find many bakeries and pastries nearby! I've stayed there several times and also recommended my parents to stay there when they visited Porto!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Villa Inn Bed and Breakfast; City: Daytona Beach Florida; Review: As the title says.... Staying at The Villa is better than staying in any 5* hotel... why?! In The Villa you are more than just another client... you are a guest! Jim, the owner, is super kind and makes your stay at Daytona Beach unforgettable! The house is beautiful, located in a calm area, away from the big chain hotels. The price... well, the same or lower than staying at Hilton, Wyndham.... but much, much better. Read the reviews on these hotels, here at Tripadvisor, and you will see that staying at The Villa will assure you that you will have a calm and pleasant vacations in Daytona Beach!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Regina; City: Bordeaux Gironde Nouvelle Aquitaine; Review: The Hotel Régina is an excellent place to stay in Bordeaux - excellent price, quality and location. My room was perfectly clean... spotless! No noise coming from the street, although the hotel is just in front of the train station. It is perfectly located for those who have to take the train every morning, as I did. And you also have free wi-fi! I would recommend and would return when I get back to Bordeaux!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Ocean Avenue Women's Adjustable Bottom; Brand: Ocean Avenue; Review: I like these because I hate having to shave so much of my bikini line (very sensitive skin so I get the red bumps no matter what) and these bottoms cover up enough that I only have to shave the obvious stragglers. Also my ass is huge and I hate it and these make it look less awful. Also it covers up the muffin tops. So that's a plus! is great fabric and isn't see through. Dries super fast. Would definitely buy again. Not sure if they LOOK good on me, I mean they are basically granny panties but I like 'em anyways. :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lindy Bop Women's 'Ophelia' Vintage 1950's Garden Party Picnic Dress; Brand: Lindy Bop; Review: This dress is beautiful and the material is high quality, but the way they pack it is somewhat of a problem. The bust you'll need to iron out a bunch to make it look like the picture. It fits great and you probably won't need a petticoat underneath to get the look right. It IS however much more GREEN looking than the picture. It's more of a Teal or Mermaid Blue than the aqua or robins egg blue in the picture. Still, great dress for a great price. Just be prepared to do some tweaking on it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Smiffy's Witch Hat; Brand: Smiffy's; Review: this hat is great, just know that you'll have to stuff it with something like newspaper and sort of sculpt it to look just right.

Title: 32" Long Hair Heat Resistant Spiral Curly Cosplay Wig Dark Blue; Brand: Topbuti; Review: great wig for the price. you can kind of see the netting, but if you place the hair just right or wear a hat then it's fine. It also brushes out fairly well, if you know how to brush out curly wigs. Obviously it doesn't come as beautifully untangled as the picture but the color is fabulous. And wearing it is very comfortable. I bought this for Halloween, but I got so many compliments on it that I might just wear it out whenever I feel like it!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

I've been wearing these around shopping and doing errands for a couple of hours and I still don't need to take them off. My feet don't hurt at all! And they are easy to walk in. Like dang, I made a good choice. ***EDIT** I just wanted to confirm my adoration for these boots. They never get uncomfortable!!

Title: AvaCostume Linen Women's Chinese Butterfly Weave Flat Slippers; Brand: AvaCostume; Review: I would have ordered an 11 size, as the reviews said they run small, but there was no size 11 offered. I usually wear a 9.5 US size, so I took a risk and ordered a 10, and they JUST BARELY fit. If only they were just a tiny bit longer, they'd be perfect. They are beautiful shoes, very unique. They do feel like they might stretch as I wear them, so I'm going to keep them and see what happens. Not a bad product for the price, but definitely NOT US sized. Otherwise they look just like the picture, except I notice that the blue in the butterfly is much darker in real life, more of a teal than light blue, but still really pretty. I've been wearing them around the house to try and stretch them out a bit, and they don't make my feet sweat at all. I really like them, if only they were just a bit bigger. I bet if you have narrow feet these would fit better.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fruit of the Loom Assorted Bikini - 6 Pack (6DBSBK2); Brand: ; Review: I bought these for wearing at night. They are the right amount of stretchy and soft and breathable that I need without hugging my butt and making things sweaty, which I hate. I bought them in the hope that I could wear a pad with them at night and they would be loose enough to allow the pad to form to me so there wouldn't be any leaks, and they do just that. Hope this isn't too much info.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: HDE Women's High Waisted Sophisticated Front Button Trendy Vintage Sailor Shorts; Brand: HDE; Review: These are terrible. They don't fit correctly, and by that I mean they don't seem to be made for humans, not that they are too small or too big. They are oddly big and small in all the wrong places.

Jeez. Anyways these are very nice and super affordable! I'm allergic to any metal that cheap jewelry is made out of and can only wear gold or silver. If I wear cheap stuff my ears flare up and get infected day of. Been wearing these all day today and my ears feel great!

Title: Yelete Women's Basic Five Pocket Stretch Jegging Tights Pants; Brand: Yelete; Review: Great material. They are sort of silky on the inside so they go right up onto my body and don't make me sweat. And they really look like jeans. Like well fitting skintight jeans, which is sexy. I have quite a booty but I definitely will be buying mediums from now on instead of large, although if you want a relaxed fit that looks nice too, just have to wear a belt. I would say they are much stretchier than you think so you could size down if you weren't sure. I weigh 165lbs, 5 5 tall and I have a big booty and smaller waist and big ol thighs, if that helps you at all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DREAM PAIRS ARPEL/BERRY Women's Formal Evening Dance Rhinestones Classic Low Heel Pumps Shoes New; Brand: DREAM PAIRS; Review: So pretty!!!! They look like Cinderella shoes :3 they are a tad big but the height of them keeps the heel from slipping off when I walk, so I won't be leaving any glass slippers behind XD I would do a half size down than your usual size. I accidentally got these a bit dirty but just blotting and gentle circular motions with a damp washcloth got them almost perfectly clean again. Definitely want another pair.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Beach Front Motel Napier; City: Napier Hawke s Bay Region North Island; Review: We have just experienced the most wonderful family holiday in Napier and Beachfront Motel added to that experience, its location was superb, cleanliness was exceptional and hosts were very friendly. Great location for children right across the road from the new Rotary safety park where children can learn about road rules while cycling or scooting through the cycle park. Children's just playground 25 metres away, and a lovely 10-15 walk along the broad walk to restaurants and the township. This motel come highly recommended by us. You must go up the Bluff Hill lookout while your there, what a fantastic view, great place for a picnic with the family.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Aspen Court Taihape; City: Taihape Rangitikei District Manawatu Wanganui Region North Island; Review: Had a night away from home due to a function we had on in town, and we could not of asked for a better place to stay, great location, lovely friendly hosts, spotless rooms, a super comfortable bed that we had the most dreamy sleep on and I have to say the shower was absolutely bliss full, I didn't want to get out. A short walk to Gumboot Manor the next morning for a yummy breakfast and our stay was complete. Thanks Aspen Court for looking after us for the night; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wyndham Surfers Paradise; City: Surfers Paradise Gold Coast Queensland; Review: Although originally disappointed that my ocean view on the top floor was not achieved as requested, my second floor apartment offered all a couple could need on their holidays We spent many hours in the spa, and enjoyed a nice breakfast in the restaurant area, very relaxing; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Quest Palmerston North; City: Palmerston North Manawatu Wanganui Region North Island; Review: Had an executive suite, the separate lounge area was fantastic, could have the friends in for drinks without having to make the bed (could close the door), had a lovely spa bath, washing machine facilities etc deliciously cosy heat pump,and the staff were only to happy to help us out getting taxis, etc or showing up with a sewing kit for us when a button decided to go south, and a golf game would have had to be cancelled as the would not allow jeans on the course, the only less than 5 comment I do have is the television only had 6 local channels (no sky sports or movies) it didn't effect our stay in anyway, but as Tiger Woods was 2nd in the field in some golf tournament that was playing it would have been good apparently to have been able to watch that to see him play, and the inside car parks were both together for the floor and they were for minis, not a falcon and a jeep, it took quite a bit of maneuvering to get both cars in their spaces, but again this did not effect our stay, just a comment for you to gauge whether you would get an inside car park, as street parking is avaliable; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bluewater Hotel; City: Napier Hawke s Bay Region North Island; Review: Offering all you could want in a motel, comfy beds, bar snacks, mini bar, great views, close to golf courses and only a 100 metre walk to many many eateries.

Title: Debbie Doesn't Do It Anymore: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Walter Mosley Page; Review: When this novel was first promoted the title turned me off. I had no interest in reading about porn, though I love, love, love Walter Mosely. Then I watched an interview he and Stacey Chin had at Strand and was hooked. I must say it was realy well written and the premiss of a person realizing they have outgrown the cage they were living in is a universal one.

Title: Outward Hound Hide-A-Squirrel Puzzle Plush Squeaking Toys Dogs; Brand: Outward Hound; Review: I bought this toy for my puppies about six months ago. It's a good toy but my dogs quickly took out the cardboard at the bottom of the trunk so it can no longer stand up. They also didn't find the activity of getting the squirrels out of the trunk very engaging. They have very small heads so they also got their heads stuck in the trunk quite a bit so I have to watch them while they play with it. They like the little squirrel toys and often carry them around in their mouths.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Puppia Authentic RiteFit Harness with Adjustable Neck; Brand: Puppia; Review: I really love these harnesses. In Australia, where I live these harnesses cost $40 so it was really nice to get them for only $18. I bought two black ones for my two cavoodles as I know that puppia has an excellent reputation and black is less likely to get as dirty. I was able to adjust the harnesses to perfectly fit my two dogs which was fantastic as usually they can squirm out of their other walking harnesses because they are both in between a small and a medium. The material feels like it's a really good quality and the harness feels soft and comfortable. For only $18 a harness it was well worth the price.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: KONG Snugga Wubba Friend Dog Toy, Small, Assorted; Brand: KONG; Review: I was very happy to recieve the frog kong snugga wubba yesterday. My two boy puppy cavoodles absolutely love the toy.

Title: Fox Run 4-Inch Marble Mortar and Pestle; Brand: Fox Run; Review: Bought this for kitchen use, namely grinding seeds, grains and corn products. Note that the inside of the unit is coarse and not polished like the exterior. That may be good for some applications, though it makes it tougher to clean ground grains out of it. Capacity is not huge either and likely is better intended for pharmaceutical use like alchemist used to do.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bormioli Rocco Nonix 19.75 oz. Pub Glass, Set of 12; Brand: Bormioli Rocco; Review: Really nice pub glass, holds a nice true pint with plenty room for a proper head. 12 glasses at this price? Great! They are quite thin and likely hood of dishwasher breakage is pretty high. Shipped with no problems or breakage.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: VillaWare NDVLPAPFS1-SHP Panini Grill; Brand: Villaware; Review: I love this unit. Removable plates for easy cleaning. Handles run off into tray well. Hinged back works perfectly for very thick sandwiches resulting in a very even, uniform grill. Heats quickly and the heat is evenly distributed with no hot or cold spots noted and I have loaded it up with four sandwiches with 90% of grill surface used. I have not used it for steaks, burgers, chicken, etc only sandwiches. Wasn't crazy about the quesadilla results, really not the forte of a panini grill. Variable heat works well, heats up as hot as you would ever need it. Amber glowing light shows heating status.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lifeline 7506PK Lipstick Pink Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Double Wall Bottle - 24 oz. Capacity; Brand: FIFTY/FIFTY; Review: This unit is very well made and a good bit less than some of the other units out there and much less expensive than brewery branded units. Double wall insulation is great and keeps beverages cold for an incredibly long time period. A number of sites have done product comparisons with technical testing for durability, performance, etc and this unit hangs in with the best of them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Luigi Bormioli Crescendo 20-Ounce Tumblers, Set of 4; Brand: Luigi Bormioli; Review: I bought a set from Target and within 30 days two of them are cracked/chipped. To my knowledge they have not been dropped or rough handled. We may typically suffer loss of a glass or two per year, so it's quite unusual for these to damage so easily, especially with the claims of durability. I have no idea how to proceed with the 35 year warranty and not sure if its worth looking into. Sad, as I really like the style, hand feel and overall look of the glasses, though I note that they seem to get fingerprints, etc easier than the average glass.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Novotel Citygate Hong Kong; City: Hong Kong; Review: Like other reviewers, our 5am wake up call didn't happen. Lucky we had set the alarm in the room, so no harm done. Otherwise we highly recommend this hotel for its 5 minute free shuttle to the airport, and its proximity to the big buddah. Ideal for the last day or two of your stay in HK. We thought the glass column in the room that a previous reviewer complained of worked quite well, and we agree that the shower is great. No need to eat at hotel prices, fantastic and cheap food court in the adjacent centre. Would stay there again, and much cheaper than the airport hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Central Plaza Port Douglas; City: Port Douglas Queensland; Review: We stayed in a 1 bed apartment for a week and we're very happy. There are apartment blocks / Resorts with flashier entrance lobbies, but most where further out of town and more expensive, and as we had no car we wanted something central. The location is almost perfect. 10 minutes walk north to the main street, 10 minutes west to the harbour, and 10 minutes east to the beach. Our hosts were very friendly and helped us choose our tours. The pool and surrounds is plenty big enough, and the most we ever shared with was 4-5 people. I knocked one point off the rooms because the furniture is perhaps a bit tired, but really if it was the same furniture next year I would still stay there. The previous reviewer who was not happy, to my mind definitely had the wrong place!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Castaway Holiday Apartments; City: Strahan Tasmania; Review: Based on Trip Advisor we were tossing up between Castaways and The Crays. We settled on Castaways purely on cost in the end. The owners are new and seem to be continuing the good work as noted on previous reviews. The units are on the road and there was some early morning traffic noise as we were in the larger 2 bed unit which is closest to the road. Only a problem if you want to sleep late. The units are located 5-10 walk from the town centre and very good local pub. The walk back is up hill and may be a problem for some, though not us. We would highly recommend Castaways for its general cleanliness, closeness to town, and the supermarket which is only a 2 minute walk. As for the Crays, it looked a really nice place also, perhaps a little further out, but no hill. Judging by the reviews of others I'm sure we would have been happy there too.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: St Ives Apartments; City: Hobart Greater Hobart Tasmania; Review: Thanks to Tripadvisor we heard about this gem in marvelous Battery Point, and weren't disappointed. The location is a short walk from Salamanca and all its attractions, and just around the corner from the best breakfast or lunch you will ever have at Jackman & McRoss. The legendary mini bar even had a bottle of wine that was cheaper than at the local supermarket. We will stay there again when we are next in Hobart.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: RACV Inverloch Resort; City: Inverloch Gippsland Victoria; Review: We were very happy with our 3 night stay in an Ocean View Room. It was very good value at $185 per night including breakfast for racv members. Our view was through trees to the ocean. If you want a more spectacular view you need to go premium ocean view. The resort is near new (2007), and is about about 5k outside Inverloch. Beautiful setting, with kangaroos likely to hop by your balcony at sunset. We ate one night in the Bistro which we enjoyed, one night at the Esplanade Pub in Inverloch (average) and one night at the Inlet Pub also in Inverloch which was very good. We had intended using the resort kiosk delivery service which sounded really good but it was closed for winter. So unless you ate at the Bistro you had to drive into town. A couple of minor quibbles. You have to request fresh milk, and wait for delivery to the room. Secondly whilst we found the breakfast buffet terrific there did seem to be a problem keeping the food warm. As I said, minor quibbles on a very enjoyable stay, and we will definitely return. We will also try the other racv resorts.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: RACV Cape Schanck Resort; City: Cape Schanck Mornington Peninsula Victoria; Review: Last year for our wedding anniversary we stayed at the RACV Resort Inverloch and loved it. This year we decided to try Cape Schanck, and its nearly as good. Great value for RACV members, we paid $173 per night for an ocean view room including breakfast. Our view from room 115 was spectacular, and I can't think its much better from the premium view room upstairs. However if you are in a block lower down the hill, the extra $20 for upstairs may be worth it. The room was was well presented and clean. The only problem we had was noisy footsteps from the room above, not a problem during the day, but they seemed to be moving around all night! Its a bit of a walk to the restaurant particularly in the winter (umbrellas provided) and we noticed some people taking their cars. Dinner on arrival was excellent but the portion size was small forcing us into very expensive deserts. On reflection a side of fries would have been better. Buffet breakfast was fantastic. Ate so much one day we hardly ate again for the rest of the day. During the day we enjoyed the coastal walks and a visit to Sorrento. Overall a very enjoyable break.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grampians View Cottages Units; City: Halls Gap Grampians Victoria; Review: We had four nights in the 1 bed unit. The lower cost of the unit was reflected in its older style with noisy plumbing and a noisy though thankfully efficient air conditioner. However it was well presented and clean with a large modern fridge and TV. WiFi was free but I couldn't get it to work. We enjoyed the indoor pool, free dvd's, the kangeroos next to our verandah at dusk, and not to be underestimated the proximity to the pub. The walk into Halls Gap was a bit too far after a long hot day for dinner, but the pub was 10 minutes walk away, and we were very happy with the meals there. Next time we would pay a little extra for one of the cottages but if the 1 bedroom unit suits your budget then its fine.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Deep Blue Hotel Hot Springs; City: Warrnambool Victoria; Review: When booking on line we asked for the best possible view within our price range. We were given a room on level 4 and the view from the balcony and a corner of the room didn't disappoint. This is a modern hotel located close to the beach and the excellent Pavilion Cafe. The room was modern and beautifully presented though I didn't understand the option of opening up the bathroom wall to create a larger open room including bath and toilet! We didn't try the restaurant as it looked a bit sterile (all white) and uninviting. The restaurant of the hotel next door looked far more inviting. We enjoyed the lovely pool after a long day but found the mineral springs pool at an extra $15 each not worthwhile. It was little more than a large spa which would normally come free with the pool. Strangely there was little information about the hotel or restaurant (no menu) in the room compendium. It was mostly about selling the spa services. Two areas where this hotel is out of step with the competition. Firstly a service charge for Visa, and secondly no free WiFi. Both a little irritating. Still, we enjoyed our stay, and would do it again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: BIG4 Iluka on Freycinet; City: Coles Bay Freycinet Glamorgan Spring Bay Tasmania; Review: We don't normally stay in caravan parks but given the cost of other accommodation in Coles Bay we decided to give Big 4 a go. We stayed in a basic cabin and were very happy with everything, and so close to the pub. Would stay here again and will now give other caravan parks a go.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Il Centro Apartment Suites; City: Cairns Cairns Region Queensland; Review: We were allocated a room at the back on level 1. This level had no view, looking at the side wall of the pool, but had the advantage of a nice courtyard area and direct access to the pool area. The room itself had everything we needed and was clean and well presented. Wifi was free but a little temperamental. The pool area would benefit from filling the planter boxes which were empty of plants during our visit. On the desk we dealt mainly with young Brendon who was friendly and helpful, and quick to sort out a minor problem we had with our TV. Although opposite the police station and Law Courts we found the area to be quiet and a little removed (5-10 minute walk) from the tourist areas. A good value apartment which is probably hard to beat in Cairns, perhaps better suited to the business traveller because of its location. As we were on holiday we would have preferred to be closer to the Esplanade, however apartments we considered in that area were close to double the price.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: BIG4 Beacon Resort; City: Queenscliff Victoria; Review: We were a party of 6 adults who stayed in a 3 bedroom cabin as part of the overnight Blues Train package. The package included Blues Train tickets, transfer to and from the station, and a generous do it yourself breakfast hamper. It was the best value package for 6 adults we found in or near Queenscliff. The park and cabin were immaculate, and the service before and during our stay was impressive. For 6 adults the 3 bedroom cabin was a bit tight, but for one night it was fine. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tree Motel; City: Narooma Eurobodalla New South Wales; Review: New and very friendly owners are gradually improving this older style motel. We were 3 adults and stayed in the 2 room unit. OK for a one night stopover but a bit cramped. Walking distance to shopping centre with restaurant, but have to drive into town.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Ninimour Womens Stripes Lined up Double up Blouson Tie Tankini Swimwear; Brand: Ninimour; Review: Poorly made with really thin materials and stitching, elastic is barely existent in top and bottoms.

Title: EVGA GeForce GTX650Ti Boost 2GB GDDR5 192bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI Ready Graphics Card; Brand: EVGA; Review: Replaced my dying GTS 8800 512MB with this. BIG difference. This monitor does run warm though. Make sure there is enough cooling in the PC. I still have to add a fan to mine.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sony BDP-S590 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi (Black) (2012 Model); Brand: Sony; Review: I would recommend this Blu-Ray player to anyone. Some of the negatives I read were that it was "slow loading". OK...so it takes 30 seconds..big deal! You can make it faster by turning off power saving if you want...but I would rather save electricity. Has the usual wifi apps...Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix...plus many others.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: TRENDnet Powerline AV500 Compact Gigabit Single Network Adapter, With Power Outlet Pass-through, TPL-407E; Brand: TRENDnet; Review: Talk about a perfect way to extend your "hard line" network!!! Plug 2 in...connect network cables...press sync button....done. Utitily provided is a nice addtion to see status of connection. Changing of default password only really needed if house wiring is somehow shared...like in an appartment.\ I never bothered...someone would have to physically connect to my homes interior wiring to "hack in".; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Samsung BD-H6500 3D Smart Blu-ray Disc Player (2014 Model); Brand: Samsung; Review: Works well and loads DVDs/Blu Rays pretty quick. Optical audio works flawlessly with tuber/receiver unit. Only negative would that the "touch" buttons on top of unit are hard to see when it sits on a media ceter shelf and are very sensative. Could have been white symbols or light up. Isn't an issue if only using remote, I guess...; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Staybridge Suites Times Square New York City; City: New York City New York; Review: I travel to NY 5 times a year for business, I'd read great reviews online and decided to try it out for a change b/c it is close walking distance to the Javitts Convention Center where I come for market. The hotel is new and very clean, I had a room with 2 double beds, and a kitchen which was amazing and had everything I could possibly need. It came with complimentary decaf & regular coffee and iced tea in the kitchen area, the counter space and bathroom was excellent because most of the NY hotel bathrooms just have a sink with barely a shelf for your stuff. 2 girls getting primped we had lots of counter space, an under the sink shelf and storage area, plenty of towels, an actual shower ( a bit small but just fine), great water pressure, and then an additional mirror and make shift vanity by the door. I loved this room, not only did they keep it nice and cool upon arrival but the beds are fantastically comfortable. I have stayed at the W (tiny rooms), the Hudson (horribly loud and uncomfortable beds that are have no box spring, i would have been more comfortable on the floor), the New Yorker (just fine, would stay here again) the Milford Plaza (eh) , the Park Central (mold on the bathroom ceiling) and the a few Hiltons (the best is the one on 6th, best beds ever), as well as the Gem Hotel in Midtown (no amenities), by far this was my favorite place and b/c I travel here for business 5 x a year, I'll definitely come back again and again. I really liked the complimentary breakfast which is a rarity for NY. I'm happy to reccommend this place, if i bring my daughter with me in the future, this would be nice b/c of the fridge and microwave, etc. for milk and snacks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Manhattan Times Square North; City: New York City New York; Review: I stayed here January 7-9th 2012. The hotel is on 8th Avenue at 50/51st street which is in the heart of Midtown near Times Square, Theatre district, etc. I stayed here for a trade show at Pier 94, so the distance was very convenient. The hotel was absolutely great! I paid $139-$149/night. The king size bed was very comfortable, the room was big, it had a nice desk, a big chair, and it was quiet on the 11th floor. They serve a complimentary breakfast, have complimentary wi-fi, they had a coffee and hot chocolate area by the Concierge, the staff was so friendly and helpful. There were plenty of cabs in the morning and at night, it was a wonderful stay and I would absolutely stay here again. The bathrooms were clean and plenty of counter space with storage below it which I find to be very helpful. I will definitely be back for business again, or pleasure.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Disney s Polynesian Village Resort; City: Orlando Florida; Review: The Polynesian is 1 of 3 Disney resorts and is very beautiful. We had a great stay and had plenty of amenities here, the grounds are stunningly maintained it feels very tropical and the decor even though somewhat dated is very comfortable. I would try the Contemporary or grand Floridian next trip but the overall stay was wonderful and talk about convenient. The monorail picks up right at the hotel, the hotel offers magic express transportation to and from the airport and baggage and people pickup to your hotel doorstep, we were able to use our room key for purchases, souvenirs at Disney, meals, snacks etc. the O'hana character breakfast w/ LILO& Stitch was awesome bc Mickey, Pluto and LILO and stitch come to your table and that was awesome for our little one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Times Square New York City; City: New York City New York; Review: Once again I have had another great stay at the Staybridge Suites in NYC. The hotel room itself was very comfortable with great beds where I find myself able to sleep very comfortably. The room with two double beds this time was a little tight with a little bit of room between the bed and the restroom. Each room has a kitchenette which is great for making coffee or tea in the morning or storing water in the fridge. The hotel itself has complimentary wifi, a breakfast which has hot and cold foods and a happy hour with wine, cheese, hot and cold appetizers! These people are great hosts. The location of staybridge is right across from the port authority building, the hotel is between 8th/9th avenues on 40th. This is nice because it has less noise since it's not directly on 8th which is one of the busiest streets in mannhattan. The $1 pizza on the corner of 40th and 9th also has $1 water!! Grab some and stick in your fridge at Staybridge, the pizzas good too! Tried a great new restaurant two blocks away that the concierge recommended and I can't wait to go back Casa Nonna on 38th b/t 8th/9th closer to 8th. Tip* if you need a cab ask the bellman to arrange for one, they aren't always readily available.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Times Square New York City; City: New York City New York; Review: Once again the Staybridge Suites times square does not disappoint. Here for business again, I find the hotel rooms to be especially comfortable and accommodating. Never have I been able to sleep as well as I do when staying here because the beds are so comfortable and the rooms are able to maintain a cool temperature as needed. I also love to take advantage of the complimentary breakfast each morning although if it's around 8:15 - 8:45 it is more crowded than the earlier hours. Trying to get a cab during the week can be painful bc they are driving toward 8th and its always congested. We usually walk left to 9th to try to find one. The bellman was great he offered to walk our luggage down to 9th and hail one for us since we had not reserved one in advance. It was exceptional service. The bathrooms once again were clean and the elevators can be a little slow but overall not bad. I should mention that I am a Priority Club platinum member and I am still not quite sure of its advantages and how it can benefit my hotel stay. I usually book this hotel through points earned on my Priority Club credit card and the options provided never allow for a double bed booking, we always have to "request" it and it is not guaranteed. We have always been accommodated thankfully but the system is not set up to offer a double bed option which I would like to see. The location of the hotel is convenient (not glamorous but this area of ny is pretty dirty in general) to Times Square and midtown, the street itself pretty quiet bc it faces the port authority and is not directly on a main street. I am a light sleeper so having street noise is always a concern and I'm glad I found this little jewel tucked away on 40th. Remember that $1 pizza on the corner of 9th has cheap drinks including $1 water you can keep in your fridge in the hotel (just discovered the fridge has an ice maker). We will be back September for the next business trip and have already made our reservation. Thanks again to Staybridge Suites for another good one!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Watson Hotel; City: New York City New York; Review: The hotel was average. Stayed here for business, the beds were comfy clean the bathroom was old and dated and small. This was a "renovated room" I couldn't tell and I guess they stopped short at the bathroom. Fast elevators though, no waiting. The curtains are not built in with any blackout shades or darker curtains so your option is the thin white gauzy shades and it got light ea morning at 5:45 am. Will stay elsewhere next time. Nice staff - I appreciated the free breakfast and drink coupons upon arrival.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Times Square New York City; City: New York City New York; Review: I just love this hotel for the convenient location and comfortable beds. The AC was great and they offer a generous breakfast. I stay here several times a year because it's quiet but conveniently located near midtown, Times Square etc. It's not trendy or chic, it's comfortable and has nice amenities for a business traveler. They should improve their workout room, it's minuscule.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Times Square New York City; City: New York City New York; Review: Once again the Staybridge Suites Times Square does not disappoint. The rooms are clean and comfy with a great kitchen and quite good complimentary breakfast. The street is quiet and the staff was quite nice and helpful in my accommodations. I recently recommended to a friend who also said the hotel was great. The bathrooms are a bit small (shower I should say) but you do get a wonderful kitchen. Thank you to the Staybridge suites for having complimentary bottles of wine and chocolate and a delicious fruit basket awaiting me this trip. It was an unexpected pleasant surprise.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel; City: New York City New York; Review: So, first of all, it's 2016, what hotel still charges for wifi? The fancy online exterior photo is what sold me, oh and the price. The hotel room is underwhelming. It's just fine. Standard updated decor, bathroom tiny with little to no water pressure. The 20th floor still offers a lot of street noise and the beds are hard and pillows too full. I am a picky sleeper so unfortunately these accommodations don't do much for me. The hotel is located centrally and I like that, the staff is wonderful on every account. They provide coffee in the rooms but bottled water is $8 from the mini fridge. If my ice is free, please, have some bottles of water waiting in the room. Hotels are all about customer service yet want to price gouge you for basic needs such as bottled water and Wi-fi (insert sarcasm). Please Sheraton, you have a huge opportunity to go just a tiny bit above and beyond, it's the little things that make people happy. I will not be coming back to this hotel but will continue to write my trip advisor reviews.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Breakers; City: Palm Beach Florida; Review: My kids love this resorts especially for the "coconut crew" where they get to explore and play with other visiting kids. The resort is really timeless classic palm beach style, very beautiful and historical feeling. The waters are very good, the many hotel pools and options are just lovely. I like the deals they offer for young kids eating free. The rooms are super spacious (atleast the one we had). Great family place, I look forward to coming back.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Times Square New York City; City: New York City New York; Review: I stay here often for work because it's very close to javits and walking distance is helpful. The neighborhood is right by Times Square by about two blocks. However, it's quiet because it faces 40th between 8/9th. This is right by the New York Times building, 42nd street and many tourist attractions. I like this hotel because it's pretty comfy, and the staff are nice. They also serve breakfast and a happy hour during the week. I think that is a HUGE amenity for cost savvy travelers. You can get a very decent breakfast and they offer fruit which I sometimes take with me to trade shows for a snack. It's not fancy but it's clean. The rooms have a good ac and free wifi and cable. The showers are small but hot and have very good water pressure compared to other places I've stayed. The pillows are very fluffy and upon request you can have a flatter pillow. The hotel is also very close to a subway station. It's across from the port authority bus terminal and so you will have a lot of vagrants and homeless and drug addicts loitering nearby so for families I am not sure I'd recommend. This is an intercontinental hotel property and I also like the IHC Times Square around the corner on 44th for an upgrade to this type of hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Irvine Orange County Airport; City: Irvine California; Review: This hotel has a nice restaurant with good food, the beds are super comfortable and clean, great a/c. New and updated, and Uber can find it. They also offer a shuttle service to the nearby SNA airport. It didn't start off well when we called the hotel to request the shuttle. It seemed nobody knew how to accurately describe the pickup location of the van until we had waited for an hour which is unacceptable. When the van did arrive, the front desk attendant said we needed to be at column 5 in order for it to pick us up, such information was not conveyed in the previous 3 phone conversations when we called for an update on the car. Actually, the first person I spoke with when originally requesting the van said to cross the street and go to the taxi lines. Upon exiting the baggage area there actually is no across the street just 4 lanes, and the taxi stand area brought us to column 14, which they refused to pickup other than at 5 which wasn't relayed until the hour later when the bus finally arrived. We had already called an uber. Otherwise, the rooms are nice, have a Keurig, complimentary water and cookies, the hotel seems good so far!!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Times Square New York City; City: New York City New York; Review: Recently stayed at the Staybridge suites in NY for business and pleasure because I brought my daughter. Mind you the location of this hotel in the city, in August is just kinda yucky. It's in the heart of the action near times square and theatre district but there's tons of scaffolding on the side of the hotel and scaffolding tunnels are full of pee and puddles and it's just a dirty part of town unfortunately. Upon arrival to the Staybridge we got a room and the toilets didn't work. We left for 8 hours and they still weren't fixed after we returned and had requested the repair upon checkin. They were nice enough to move us to a new room. The staff is always so helpful and concerned about the stay which is nice. They do provide a very extensive breakfast buffet which I also appreciate. Personally I am just over this area of town, I would prefer a quieter much cleaner part of town like the upper west side which still has tons of amenities, and Can just commute on the subway. The Staybridge is decent, i also recommend the intercontinental Times Square around the corner for an upgrade to this hotel chain.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Pearl Hotel; City: New York City New York; Review: The pearl hotel has great customer service. The rooms are large and the bathrooms and showers some of the biggest I've seen for a boutique hotel in the city. Very comfortable beds and quiet considering how close it is to Times Square and the Theater district. This hotel is directly across from The Book of Mormon. There was a TV in the bathroom which is rare, great showers, and extremely great value for the money. They also offer complimentary breakfast and water and snacks 24/7. I will definitely be back! If you are looking to be close to theater and Times Square this is a fabulous choice. I've stayed all over the city and I love how convenient it is.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ramon s Village Resort; City: San Pedro Ambergris Caye Belize Cayes; Review: Book here! It's amazing from start to finish. The amazing and friendly staff, the rooms, the beach, the food, the proximity, the amenities, the water, all beautiful. We stayed in both the jungle hut and ocean front. Jungle rooms are nice but slightly noisy as they back up to the busy street life of Belize. It is 200 yds from the San Pedro airport (which is tiny), we flew into this on a 15 minute flight on a puddle jumper. The ocean view is pure paradise, the entire resort is immaculate and one of THE FEW properties without a retaining wall in front of the water. We walked N and S along the beach multiple times scoping out other properties along the way. Victoria House was also beautiful and pristine and probably services a higher end clientele. Ramon's was a total find, the water was beautiful everywhere in Belize. Because their was a hurricane last nov. many properties and beachfronts are under construction but this one is just in the perfect spot. We actually did not even rent a golf cart during the trip bc most of the in town restaurants were within walking distance. I'll be reviewing those as well. Lots of good food in Belize. We especially liked our bar staff Ron, Alex and the restaurant staff. Such lovely people. I would pay separate for the daily breakfast if you want to explore other restaurants for breakfast, otherwise the food is just great. We were able to book any activities right through our hotel, I would consider using the spa outside the hotel for a better experience and cheaper but just depends who's working.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Wolfbike Men's Thermal Cycling Jersey MTB Bike Jacket Pants Windproof; Brand: Wolfbike; Review: I had this for a while now. The only thing I don't like about it is the way the fabric and zipper gather on top of my chest when I ride, but I couldn't care less. The suit is warm and waterproof as far as I can tell (rode once in light rain).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ancheer TT Handlebar Aero Bars Triathlon Time Trial Tri Cycling Bike Bicycle Aerobars; Brand: ANCHEER; Review: Good quality. Hinge pin looks too thin but we'll see how it holds.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DNP Epoch Freewheel 7spd 11-28 Nickel Plated; Brand: DNP; Review: No complaints. I put about 250 miles on it since I installed it and it feels fine. I didn't notice any extra friction when I adjusted the derailleur. That 11 sprocket is really hard to push on, after I used a 14 for so many years. I ride a cheap Schwinn Avenue hybrid, for reference. Will update if anything goes wrong, hope not.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: IBIS Niort Marais Poitevin; City: Niort Deux Sevres Nouvelle Aquitaine; Review: By the time we reached Niort we were totally TIRED. It was great to see the Ibis logo at the edge of town! The room was small but very comfortable. The bed and duvet perfect! The bath, again tiny, but clean and entirely adequate. Also no mildew as we so often see in the UK. Food is, well, filling, but it WAS a Sunday evening so we were happy to just dine. We would certainly stop again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: De Vere Staverton Estate; City: Staverton Daventry Northamptonshire England; Review: We have visited this hotel on many occasions and, for the most part, the stay has been a pleasant experience. The hotel offers frequent short break well priced offers. The rooms are small but tidy and there are two chairs - one office and one comfortable. (I hate having to sit on the bed all the time!) The evening meals- especially the starter table are good - mostly served buffet style. It is a conference venue so that contributes to my three star rating. The place is showing its 'wear' and will soon need a comprehensive makeover. Everything has that 'well used' look! Makeover reminds me of the most irritating and unpleasant feature. The LIGHTING! The bathroom has one down light over the sink! Try putting on makeup under a down light! The same for the bedroom. Inadequate low voltage lighting throughout. If I were dressing for a special occasion I would be very very unhappy. Perhaps when the suggested updating is done this feature will change. Until then, three stars!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: L Oree de Chartres; City: Barjouville Chartres Eure et Loir Centre Val de Loire; Review: It was getting late and we were having trouble finding an overnight stay around Chatres. Seeing the ubiquitous Buffalo Grill we knew there would be a motel somewhere closeby. Tucked behind said restaurant was L'Oree de Chatres. What a surprise. It is located in a not very inviting industrial estate but the motel itself is fairly new and is tired traveler attractive. The room, while not spacious, was comfortable, very clean and well appointed. It even had two chairs, something that is often lacking in 'budget' hotels. There was free wi-fi, our last for a few weeks in France! There was a restaurant that looked very nice. We opted for el Buffalo - a mistake as always. The breakfast buffet was opulent. The coffe creme was wonderful! Overall, it was a very good choice and we would definitely return - especially since we now know where to look!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Caen Porte de Bretagne; City: Bretteville Sur Odon Calvados Basse Normandie Normandy; Review: We often choose Ibis Hotels. They are clean, pet friendly and generally well located. This one at the edge of Caen is no exception. In fact it was better than most because there was an independent restaurant adjacent which served a reasonable meal and a pleasant breakfast. There were croissants and fresh fruit at reception in the morning - a nice touch. We have most often found the staff the best part of Ibis'. This one was no exception. They were friendly, accommodating and for the non-French speaker, multi lingual. Stars for Ibis. Can't be beaten for the money!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Ibis Nantes Treillieres; City: Treillieres Nantes Loire Atlantique Pays de la Loire; Review: We often choose Ibis Hotels. This one was very much better than average because I believe we were given a handicap room with a glass sliding door due to the presence of our small dog. But the best part of the stay was the staff. Without exception they were helpful, gracious and most accommodating! The building is showing its years but all in all we were very satisfied and would stay again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alma Lodge Hotel; City: Stockport Greater Manchester England; Review: This hotel was a very pleasant surprise. I knew nothing about it when I booked. Stockport is not one of our usual visit sites. However, we had a lovely evening at the hotel. It was spotlessly clean, the room was spacious, the staff very pleasant and accommodating. The added bonus was a very acceptable breakfast that was included in the price. The only fault I would mention was the coffee. It was just plain AWFUL!! But the beds were comfortable and, since it was midweek, external noise was not a factor. Were we to return to Stockport, we would certainly return. i might add that it IS located on the main street through town so there was certainly truck traffic but we did have the window open. All and all, it was a very good choice.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: RED; City: Madison, WI; Review: This is a rather expensive option for sushi, but you also get what you pay for. It's not the best for a regular lunch sushi just based on price, but if you ever want to go out for a nice sushi dinner, this is the top pick for me!

Title: Hotel Novotel Nottingham Derby; City: Long Eaton Derbyshire England; Review: we stayed at this hotel as we were attending a wedding reception in the area,wot a dump fortunately we only paid £59 which is far to expensive , there is retro bark artex everywhere and with the bed next to the wall if you stumbled out of bed you could lose a layer of skin its that rough, i can't believe some people paid over £100 for a night, its dingy, damp, stark and the furniture and decor has not been updated since the early 80s. the bathroom had huge patches of damp over the wall and a separate toilet, so you have to go next door into the bathroom to wash your hands.The food prices are astronomical £16 for a cooked breakfast can't believe anyone would pay that much,however the staff were very friendly and accommodating .; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Cortina; City: Rome Lazio; Review: we have stayed in this hotel many times over the last eight years, the hotel is fabulous and the staff are amazing. we have stayed in other hotels when the cortina has been fully booked and have been very disappointed. the service at the cortina is second to none the rooms are impeccably clean and more than spacious enough. i can't speak highly enough of the staff very helpful with information in regards to rome, nothing is too much trouble. we are going back again in february and would recommend this hotel to everyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: C Hotel Eilat; City: Eilat Southern District; Review: Very basic budget hotel very close to the airport Eilat is like Blackpool in the sun it's awful. The rooms were basic but clean enough the hotel is desperate for a revamp. The staff are polite courteous and helpful. Breakfast was disgusting and covered in flies if it wasn't for the omelette station ( made as you watch ) we would not have eaten there nothing was covered up at all. We have travelled around isreal and Jordan and this was the worst breakfast room we've seen in regards to poor hygiene.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ramada Resort Dead Sea; City: Sweimah Dead Sea Region; Review: We stayed here despite the negative reviews, what a mistake. Firstly they scan you're bags for alcohol then try to confiscate it no wonder due to the exorbitant prices of alcohol £7.00 for a draught beer. They will let you take soft drinks and water With you so we smuggled ours in the empty pop bottle. Check in was quick and efficient however the guy helping people with there bags threw ours to the floor and walked past us which I thought was totally ignorant. The pool is fabulous as is the Dead Sea beach you do need footwear to get in as its full of rocks. There is a bus which I suggest you get it's only a fiver ure walk but its exhausting on the heat. The food from room Service is fantastic and one meal will easily do for two people we had the mixed grill it was huge. Housekeeping is diabolical I requested a mug as we wanted a coffee and only had one, I was still waiting over 24 hours later. As for the shower one minute it will take the skin off you're back as its that hot then next it's freezing cold without so. much as touching the tap. Then there's the entertainment right outside our window until 12.30 am blasting so loud we could feel the vibration in our room. On the whole it's a good hotel however I wouldn't stop here again; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Cortina; City: Rome Lazio; Review: We stayed at the hotel again as it's the best hotel in Rome and we've stayed in the more expensive hotels.

We arrived late and hungry, we ordered food via room service at 23:00 and within 20 minutes we had hot fresh food. We also had drinks in the bar, the first one was complimentary, again the service was fantastic. I would definitely recommend the Hilton.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Extended Stay America Orlando Theme Parks Vineland Rd; City: Orlando Florida; Review: Wow is the best i can say..the staff is amazing. being close to everything the price and having a full kitchen does not compare..i love this hotel even better than the disney hotels. love it love it...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Disney s All Star Sports Resort; City: Orlando Florida; Review: The rooms were nice..very friendly staff..rooms nice quiant.a little outdated..The pool is so outdated that it's boaring. No Mickelson in pool or nothing like the other pools no theme nothing. .food court sucks..not many choices..then they have this timer thing on the refill cups..really everything cost so much for so little that's why we always go to Walmart for Disney stuff; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Pennsylvania; City: New York City New York; Review: Dont be fooled not all that. Ive stayed at budget hotels that were better. Had to wait 3 hours for blankets and pillows cause heat was not on in the bulding no way to get it individually. The nicest part of hotel is the lobby lots of money spent there but no where else. Outdated rooms and furnishings and rooms look beat up. Everytime i go out door keys dont work. Outside of doors look beat up..hallway is dreary and just yukie; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Extended Stay America Orlando Theme Parks Vineland Rd; City: Orlando Florida; Review: I always stay here it's a great location and value priced. Rooms are nice and quiet time stands still it's great getting to theme parks and the pool isn't fancy but it's nice and it's never crowed. It's across from universal and by having full kitchen it works and saves money. Just don't ask Bill to do nothing extra. He's a little on the lazy side; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Now; Brand: Maxwell; Review: Para los que seguimos detenidamente el movimiento soul y R & B contemporneo en una lnea no comercial por el puro amor a la msica negra del alma, no tenemos menos que aplaudir a un gran artista que esperamos no sea efmero: Maxwell. Su forma de hacer e interpretar el soul y R & B es nica y no se compara con ningn artista de su gnero por ms que se insista en las comparaciones. Todas sus producciones son excelentes y se mantienen an a ese nivel en contraste con muchas otras. El ha llegado a ser mi intrprete masculino favorito y no me canso de disfrutar su msica y de entrar a un mundo donde la sexualidad, el romanticismo, la honestidad y la espiritualidad como componentes del amor se expresan en forma integral a travs de la voz, las letras de las canciones, las melodas y los variados matices y colores de las notas musicales. Este es el mundo y lugar de Maxwell ahora, hoy. Maxwell trae de nuevo la calidad al soul y el R & B de hoy. Los que amamos la msica fina y selecta, esperamos que l siga creyendo en lo que hace y en su lugar... (Maxwell's urbanhangsuitembryanow); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite; Brand: Maxwell; Review: S... soul y R & B del ms fino y selecto... a manos de Maxwell: un artista al que siempre voy a admirar por ser uno de los ms serios y mayores talentos en la historia de la msica negra. Y no exagero! Es la verdad... Urban Hang Suite (junto con los otros trabajos de Maxwell) es uno de los mejores discos que he odo en toda mi vida. Gente de habla hispana quien gusta del soul y el R & B... Qu esperan para conocer a Maxwell? Si bien l es un artista de finales de los 90's, su estilo de interpretacin y de hacer soul y R & B, parece retroceder en el tiempo, sin dejar de mantener su originalidad... Si aprecian la msica de calidad y el trabajo de un verdadero artista (ms todas las personas detrs de l), Maxwell se convertir para siempre en parte de su ms selecta coleccin, como yo lo hice...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Embrya; Brand: Maxwell; Review: Reconozco que soy un acrrimo fan de Maxwell a quien descubr por mera casualidad hace algunos aos con su disco debut URBAN HANG SUITE. Por supuesto, en mi seleccin no podan faltar MTV MAXWELL UNPLUGGED, NOW y mucho menos EMBRYA. Se que Maxwell no es un artista efmero. Desde que escuch sus trabajos, supe que estaba ante un artista de suprema calidad y a quien el Soul y el R & B le deber mucho por aportar calidad, arte y fineza a un estilo que se ha vuelto ms bien comercial... Maxwell es mi artista favorito, es cierto, pero apartando mi admiracin y valorando sus trabajos objetivamente, tengo que llegar a la conclusin de que todos son EXCELENTES y merecen cada uno 5 ESTRELLAS... EMBRYA es una muestra absoluto de ese hecho indiscutible... El que sepa apreciar la msica Soul y R & B con profundidad sabr de lo que hablo...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Superunknown; Brand: Soundgarden; Review: Cualquier persona que guste del gnero Rock y sus muchas derivaciones y que valore adems producciones que no son pensadas para satisfacer los impulsos facilistas de los incrdulos fans de la msica comercial, sonreir al escuchar este CD aunque no sea seguidor acrrimo de Soundgarden, sin duda, una de las mejores bandas de rock de todos los tiempos, no valorada lo suficiente por la industria musical (no cual en realidad no interesa mucho) y los msico escuchas en general. El CD es completo y cada una de sus piezas musicales es nica. Soundgarden en su carrera se caracteriz por ser una de las pocas bandas que en sus producciones eran integrales a pesar de todo. Ahora ya no hay bandas como esta y posiblemente como Soundgarden nunca la habr. Sera muy difcil encontrar a un intrprete - escritor - compositor - guitarrista como Chris Cornell (un verdadero artista), a un guitarrista lder como Kim Thayil con sus indecifrables e impresionantes riffs, a un bajista y msico tan slido como Ben Shepperd y a un baterista de la calidad y excelencia de Matt Cameron (El Steve Gadd del Rock y referencia obligada para cualquier baterista). Respecto al disco, ningn ttulo sobresale ms que otro. Todas las canciones son excelentes. S en lo personal, quisiera resaltar verdaderas obras maestras como Fell on Black Days (una de las mejores canciones que he odo en mi vida), Fresh Tendrils, Limo Wreck, 4th of July y la apabullante Like a suicide. Soy en realidad amante del soul y el R & B, pero muy pocas veces he topado con una banda que me impresione tanto como Soundgarden, quienes de hecho estn en mi coleccin de CD como uno de los tesoros ms especiales. En resumen, CD de coleccin obligada (junto con todos los otros de Soundgarden).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Adriana Evans; Brand: Bill Evans; Review: I love only the very fine soul and R & B music and I'm a hard judge when I hear something that take my attention. I always had dreamed to find a cds that make me back to the real sense of the black music. How I enjoy a deep rhodes keyboards, a good base of drum, a vibraphone, a waa waa guitar, a solid bass line and an incredible and amazing voice! I found all this with Anita Baker, Maxwell and now Adriana Evans. Adriana Evans is simply one the best artists that I've heard in my entire life and her work speak by itself. A masterpiece for those who love fine black music.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_CDs_and_Vinyl |

Title: Skyfall; Brand: Daniel Craig; Review: We often have mixed motives for watching movies; they are important, they are classic, they are nominated. I give in to these reactions to my regret. I want first and foremost to be entertained. Skyfall is entertaining at the highest level. I must say that too much is paid to the quality of the picture and not enough to the sound. If you want to really enjoy this movie, upgrade your sound system. The best picture that doesn't draw you into the action is a loss. There are too many pure action/fantasy movies that lack what skyfall has, class and straightforward entertainment. I recommend it as a high point to the Bond Dynasty. Keep it up Daniel Craig, a true spy in the English image, not a fantasy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Flight Combo; Brand: Denzel Washington; Review: There were too many gaps in the movie and one flaw. The scene with the drug overdose couldn't have had the plane fly over it. She was supposed to be in Orlando and wound up in Atlanta. It was entertaining. I didn't believe that he wouldn't have just said, "I have no idea" when asked about the bottles and let it go. He could have even said that he would not comment on a hero like the dead attendant. Anyone that bad would not have redeemed himself at that time, much as we would like to believe it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: North by Northwest VHS; Brand: Cary Grant; Review: Great story. A little sloppy at the end. James Mason appeared at the end when he had gone over the side. Improbable end but a good piece of entertainment. Holds its interest. Not dated.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: American Hustle; Brand: Christian Bale; Review: This move, well done and well acted covers a period I know well. While it didn't play up the political angle, it highlights all that is wrong with our society and remains so to this day, doing it in an enjoyable manner.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gimme Shelter; Brand: Vanessa Hudgens; Review: This is a move about suffering and hope that is not perfect but shows how one or two people can make a difference and how the system fails our children and creates a cycle of failure.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Into The Woods; Brand: Meryl Streep; Review: The acting was great but for Sondheim this was one show too many. The music is so much like everything else, I wasn't sure I was seeing this or Suunday in the Park with George with a little "A Little Night Music" thrown in. I think the story was confusing and silly but it is a musical.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Imitation Game; Brand: ; Review: One of the best movies I have ever seen. The acting was terrific, the story compelling. I positive 5 star movie. Great to see it on my own home screen in HD.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Song One; Brand: Anne Hathaway; Review: Nice but they didn't know how to finish it properly.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Cartel Land; Brand: Matthew Heineman; Review: Not a perfect movie but a very compelling story and well acted. There were some parts, particularly the evolution of the Dr's character that were glossed over. Was he bad or good or is there an answer to that question. It leaves you with the overwhelming answer: The reason this exists and vigilantes are necessary is because the governments of USA and Mexico want it to. There is too much money involved and somehow powerful people are getting it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Hotel Aqua; City: Icmeler Marmaris District Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: This hotel is in a great central location. Lovely friendly staff. The grounds are well maintained, pool and surrounding sunbathing area a bit cramped, so we always went to the beach. Beach attendant was always smiling and very helpful.The only negative things about this hotel are your all inclusive drink choices (local bottled beers charged extra) and the evening food choices were very poor. Although we always managed to find something to eat, our other family members couldnt and spent all the holiday eating in the Love boat. We last visited Icmeler about five years ago and noticed how expensive things have gone. Would recommend a few excursions, all day boat trip, jeep safari and Talk of the town show also the waterpark in marmaris on the hill is nice but a little pricey for the few facilities that are available.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Chester South; City: Chester Cheshire England; Review: We have just returned from our 1 night stay at this hotel. Firstly can i say what great value for money. It's clean, the rooms were lovely, yes I agree with others it is a bit of a maze, but this was not a problem to us. Leisure facilities looked fine, although we did not get a chance to use them. The reception staff were very friendlyand checked us in promptly. The bar and restaurant staff (especially stephanie who is getting married on wed, have a lovely day) were excellent, we did not have any problems with waiting, the service was quick, food was brilliant. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ondamar Aparthotel; City: Albufeira Faro District Algarve; Review: We stayed in the Ondamar at the end of August for 1 Week,had an brilliant time. Staff very friendly, pool great and plenty of sunbeds. Hotel location is between old town (20-25 mins walk) and strip (10-15 mins walk) taxi from old town (4-5 euros).We were upgraded to a 1 bedroom apartment which was huge and had excellent facilities (even a dish washer). Rooms cleaned every day. We stayed half board and although the food we had was nice (breakfast was good, with plenty of choice) there wasn't much choice for evening meal. We ended up eating out a few times. Can I just say the barbacue on the saturday night was absolutly fab. It seems the hotel is geared more towards self catering which is a shame as the restaurant area is lovely. The only gripe we had was that we had taken our elderly mums with us and the only way in and out of the pool area was via steps, although the lift went to the pool area there was no access through the indoor pool/gym as the doors were always locked which seemed quite odd. On reflection good hotel would reccommend this hotel for self catering /bed breakfast only which is a shame, it could have been so much better.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sandos Monaco Beach Hotel Spa; City: Benidorm Costa Blanca Province of Alicante Valencian Coun; Review: We were a group of four... myself, my husband and our two mums. We stayed at this hotel from 30 August-6 Sept. I had read alot of the reviews most of them good, so we were really looking forward to staying at the Sandos Monaco. This hotel is the best hotel we have stayed at in Benidorm, it's situated inbetween the old and new part of Benidorm with easy reach of the beach about 5 mins. I emailed about a week before we arrived to request high floors and were very pleased that they were able to accommodate my request. On arrival the staff on reception were very friendly and efficient and we were in our rooms within 5 mins. Our rooms were lovely and big with two double beds in each, huge spacious bathroom. Housekeeping was excellent rooms cleaned daily and fresh towells replaced as and when needed. The pool area does not open until 9am so there's no need to get up at 7am to try and get a sunbed. The pool itself is shaded until about 1pm so there were always beds there if you get up a bit late, but the sun does stay in this area until early evening.You can pay a deposit of 10 euros for pool towells which you can change daily. The pool bar staff are really great, why some people say they are miserable is unfair. Maybe its them that have the problem and not the staff. If your friendly and polite to them they will respond in the same manner. The restaurant is clean spacious and nice and cool. Very impressed with the hand gel at the door, which I noticed some people didn't use. The food was very good, salads, pizza's, pasta, cooked meats, show cooking, also lots of lovely desserts. You could always find something to eat. we didn't have a problem with the food being cold but there was a microwave if you needed it. During my stay I used the spa area for a massage, the spa is clean tranquil and was very reasonable. Would reccommend the use of the spa area if you get the chance. This hotel was far better than we expected, very clean, spacious, and excellent friendly staff/ management. would definately reccommend this hoteland were planning a return visit in november. Many thanks for a really enjoyable stay... see you in november; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Village Hotel Chester St David s; City: Ewloe Flintshire North Wales Wales; Review: We have just got back from an excellent overnight stay. We were a group of 8 adults, check in was very smooth, booked double rooms which when we got to the rooms were twins. A quick call to reception and this was soon rectified. All staff from reception through to the house keeping staff were very friendly and helped to make our stay a pleasant one. Evening meal and breakfast was fab. Would definitely recommend viva spa me and my friend had a full body message well worth the money (25% Disc given because we were staying in the hotel). Will definitely be returning. We'll done everyone involved.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Telford Hotel Golf Resort; City: Telford Shropshire England; Review: We stayed here the beginning of May 2015 for a golf and spa break. This is our second time to this hotel. The service is excellent from the reception staff right through to the housekeeping staff. We were a group of 6 adults the lads played golf twice and Us Girls had a spa treatment (brilliant massage) would highly recommend. The food is very good and David the bar/restaurant manager is a breath of fresh air( unfortunately he is leaving) definate loss for the hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Db San Antonio Hotel Spa; City: Qawra Island of Malta; Review: We have just arrived back after a week stay at this hotel. Check in was very quick and efficient. Hotel is clean,modern. Our room 524 was big and had a lovely view of the pool. The main restaurant food was good. There are also 3 speciality restaurants that can be used during your stay, you have to pre book these at least 24 hours in advance. Chinese buffet on the roof terrace (beautiful to watch the sunset from) Qzins is Italian (food was nice) and Tagine which is Indian, (this was our favourite fantastic meal). We used the roof pool for most of our holiday as we wanted to relax and as its adults only suited us fine. Can I say the animation team work so hard to keep people involved and entertained. Well done to them.. Whilst on holiday I used the spa...had a fantastic 50 min full body massage for 35.00 euros. ( I recommend you treat yourself) Out an about there are lots of little local bars and restaurants. Worth a visit so you can meet some local people. You can jump on the bus (bus station just across the road) and visit Valletta, selima, melihha beach for about 1.50 euro per day or get a weekly bus ticket for around 6.50 euro. If you need to get a taxi use ecabs(black cabs) try not to use the white cabs they charge a lot more for you journey. There are lots of roadworks so add extra time to your trip. Be aware there are lots of timeshare pestering you. A polite but firm no thanks normally does the trick. I cannot fault this hotel all staff work so hard to keep the place looking spotless and I would recommend it to anyone, couples (young or elderly) families (with or without young children) even people who prefer to travel alone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kemer Barut Collection; City: Kemer Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: We stayed in this amazing hotel for 11 nights arriving the 4 July. On arrival the room we were given did not have a pool view, after speaking to the lovely Typhoon we were moved to room 2218. Whilst there we tried 3 of the speciality restaurants, all have to be pre-booked at least 48 hours prior.... you book via guest relations from 9am. The main buffet area is brilliant lots of choice (even for a fussy person) Madine who looked after us every day was always smiling, helpful and polite, many thanks. During the afternoon there are other areas you can eat patisserie (which is by main reception) also by the pool bar there is an outdoor restaurant where you can chose from a menu ( food such as chilli con carne, spaghetti Bolognese, calamari etc) and a pizzeria which also do waffles and crepes between 4-6pm daily. While we were there it was gala night, absolutely brilliant there were amazing ice sculptures and firework display was fantastic. The pool areas are lovely 2 large pools ( 1 which is the activity pool) a children's pool and the water slide pool, there is also an indoor pool. The jetty is lovely although you have to get up quite early to reserve your sunbed on this. Lots of sunbeds around, even for late risers you should still be able to find one somewhere (also lots of parasols available). The entertainment team Apoli and the gang are so much fun. Every morning they walk around saying hello and ask if people want to get involved, never pushy if you didn't want to. The evening entertainment which ones we saw we're good. The lobby bar which is open 24/7 is we're we spent most nights....just like to thank all the staff especially Tuna who always went out of his way to talk to us. Kemer centre is about 10 mins walk left out of the hotel. Lots of shops, cafes and a few bars. If you fancy a trip into Antalya you can get the dolmus or a water bus both take approx the same time. We took a water bus there and the dolmus back. If you take the water bus, make sure you take a copy of your passport details as it's a port and you'll need them to exit. Can I say Antalya airport on arrival and departure was an absolute nightmare. Arriving it took us an hour and half to get through visa control, no organisation or queuing system just a free for all. Then on departure we were flying with a Turkish airline although we booked are holiday via thomson. We were delayed 5 half hours... again no updates other to be told we could have a free meal in burger king, no other choice given. Then at the departure gate we were all body and baggage searched. No electronic devices other a mobile phone allowed on board. When we were leaving... the hotel manager, the entertainment team and other staff came to say goodbye and wish us a; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hotel Playa Pesquero Resort Suite SPA; City: Rafael Freyre Holguin Province Cuba; Review: Just returned from Playa Pesquero what a great time myself and family had. The resort is massive so took a day or so to get bearings. If you don't want to walk you can flag down a golf cart for a lift. All the staff and friendly and are willing to help if you need it. Hotel is clean and tidy, the pool was great bit chilly in the morning but sometimes needed that with the hot temperatures. The pool warmed up nicely in the afternoon especially for when you want to sit at swim up bar. A visit to the Mojito bar is a must what a lovely refreshing drink and the bar staff are so friendly. A visit to the boulevard on a Friday afternoon is also a must to sample the hog roast delicious. Food at the hotel was great considering the type country that Cuba is they did a great job. Alot of food is cooked for you fresh whilst you wait in the buffet restaurant from steak, chicken to tuna and salmon. I liked this idea very much. Also used the al a carte restaurants again food was superb. The only thing that I can say that let down my stay was the evening entertainment, this was not good and considering you are quite remote and cannot go out at night it was a shame. But this is my only issue. Our room was clean we was in block 60 which was only short walk to the pool area and buffet restaurant. The beach was great and you use all the facilities from pedaloes to kayaks and they are all included. I would definitely go back to this hotel and definitely Cuba.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sandbanks Hotel; City: Poole Dorset England; Review: Stayed at Sandbanks recently with my husband. We booked a Harbour view room, definitely worth the money for the view. Our room was very spacious more than big enough for 2 people. We had breakfast in the morning, there was plenty to choose from if you wanted anything from cereal, croissants or a cooked breakfast. We also ate in the restaurant on one of the evenings food and service were excellent. The hotel was in a great location if you wanted a quiet break and Poole Quay was worth a visit. Would definitely recommend this hotel for the service the staff very helpful and may even return next year.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel; City: New York City New York; Review: Recently stayed at the Sheraton Hotel Times Square, it is in great location, 10 minutes walk to Times Square. The hotel was clean and the rooms very spacious. We was given a complimentary breakfast on arrival for the long wait to check in, I could not believe that I had to queue for over half an hour just to check in. I would stay at this hotel again if I go back to New York.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Cumberland; City: London England; Review: Stayed one here with for a birthday treat for my husband our daughter also came too, booked a junior suite which was a large room there was a double sofa bed for my daughter which was extremely comfortable and a king size bed for my husband and I, the suite also had a large bathroom and also a second toilet with sink, the suite also included access the executive lounge, this was great in the evening for relaxing and included drinks and snacks. The hotel and our room was lovely and clean and staff very friendly. The hotel is in a great location just a stones throw from Marble Arch tube station and Hyde park. We ate breakfast in the Market Place which had plenty of choices of food, from cooked to continental and plenty of fresh fruit. I would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Treehouse Hotel; City: Lympne Kent England; Review: Booked a stay in a treehouse with family, the accommodation was outstanding, very clean and for a self catering unit had all the facilities you need, including complimentary tea and coffee which also include a fresh pint of milk. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly in the clubhouse, on arrival we were given a complimentary drink along with marshmallows to toast on a open fire, the ambience was perfect. We would also like to thank Ian who gave us an extra 2 hours with our Treehouse to check out at 1pm. We also had golf buggies to use to go round certain parts of the park, this was great fun. We also enjoyed a lovely meal in the Port Lympne Hotel, again the staff very friendly and attentive, and outstanding food. We ordered a continental breakfast hamper for our treehouse which lovely. We will definitely be going back for another stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Patong Merlin Hotel; City: Patong Kathu Phuket; Review: I have just returned from an 11 night stay, the hotel is clean, the staff are friendly, the pool area and grounds are kept clean and tidy. The Hard Rock Cafe is next door to the hotel , however once inside you cannot hear the loud music. The breakfast buffet was lovely plenty to choose from, we ate in the restaurant one evening and the prices were very reasonable. The hotel is right in the centre of the hustle and bustle, out the front is the main road where there are plenty of local restaurants and bars, and then if you go out the back of hotel there is the beach road with more bars and restaurants, so you always have plenty of choice. Also lots of shops and markets. Our room was clean and we had a good view over the main pool which was lovely, we had a problem where we had no hot water, the hotel staff were very helpful and let us use another room to shower whilst this being fixed. Overall this was a small bit of paradise nestled in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Patong Beach and I would definitely return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

The wedding was well organised, the food was lovely and breakfast was tasty too. This hotel is beautiful set in superb well kept grounds and the staff were very friendly, the manager even called me by my first name which was lovely. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel, for a wedding or even just a short stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kefalos Beach Tourist Village; City: Paphos Paphos District; Review: Recently stayed at Kefalos Beach Village, we had an amazing stay, we arrived late and the hotel provided us with sandwiches and water in our room , I thought this was a lovely gesture. The staff all around the hotel were very friendly and helpful,. We booked a studio inland view room, it was very clean with its own little kitchenette with kettle, plates, cups etc. The pool area was clean, if you want some quiet time then the best sun beds are the ones down by the beach or on the grassed area, it can get quite noisy around the pool with the entertainment staff, but quite fun too. We went all inclusive and the food was very good, lots of choice and something different everyday, there was plenty of fruit and vegetables. The hotel is a short walk to the main strip with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars, we took the short walk to King of the Tombs which was about 10 minutes away. If you want to visit Paphos Harbour we took a taxi as it is approximately 25 minutes walk. We would definitely stay at this hotel if we were to go back to Cyprus.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I travelled with my husband as it had been our 25th wedding anniversary. When we arrived we was greeted by the lovely staff and check in was very good and was told all about the island which was explained clearly. We were all inclusive the food was amazing and the cocktails too. We also liked it that you had you own table for all meals during your stay. Our beach villa was kept very clean with fresh towels each day, and you could use as many beach towels as you needed too. The pools were also amazing especially the infinity pool which had views of the ocean. The island is also very clean and with the tranquil atmosphere made it complete paradise. We want to thank Ahmed our waiter for the week he was very attentive and also had a smile on his face. We also want to thank all the staff for being so friendly and helpful when we needed anything. Would recommend the Sunset cruise, we were very lucky and managed to see some dolphins. It was an amazing island to visit and we will definitely be back in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ambassadors Bloomsbury; City: London England; Review: Recently stayed here with my husband, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was very nice plenty to choose from, English and continental. The hotel is in a good location a few minutes walk to Euston station, and underground. Would stay here again; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Deevana Plaza Krabi Aonang; City: Ao Nang Krabi Town Krabi Province; Review: Just recently stayed here, the hotel was lovely, staff friendly. Pool area clean and loved the way the pool stretched all along the hotel. We had B&B plenty of choice of food, and the lunch menu very good value, we only ate in the hotel one evening as it was Thai New Year, we had a lovely buffet with lots of choices. Our room was clean and a nice view over the mountains. This hotel is a approximately 10 minutes walk to the main beach road where you can find lots of restaurants and shops, there are also some nice restaurants in the road just outside the hotel so lots to choose from. I would recommend this and would stay here again if I went back to Ao Nang; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Star Residency; City: Madurai Madurai District Tamil Nadu; Review: This hotel offers decent rooms with all the basic amenities. I am quite happy with the Customer service as they are very prompt in servicing the orders. The rooms are neither small nor big with a comfortable bed and simple bath room. This hotel has 2 restaurants & one of them is in the roof top. The breakfast spread was decent & edible. While this hotel has a decent look from the outside looks slightly dated on the inside, need to do some renovation work to make it look fresh & appealing. I am rating this hotel 4 star as i found this hotel to be VFM because i got a really nice deal in booking this hotel through MMT.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Plum Judy The Leisure Hotel; City: Pallivasal Munnar Idukki District Kerala; Review: This hotel is located on a mountain with breathtaking views. The access road to the property is not good, need to travel at least 2 KM from the main road to reach the hotel. Please note google maps is not showing the correct route to this property, look for Plum Judy butterfly logo sign post for directions.Lack of proper sign boards & roads damaged due to recent monsoon en-route makes it hard to reach the hotel without hassle. This hotel offers some spectacular views from the Valley view rooms. The rooms are relatively bigger with sofa cum bed available on every room which is useful for people traveling with kids.The rooms are very clean & tidy. Restaurant offers a decent spread for complimentary breakfast & dinner Buffet. Personally i didn't find the food to be either appealing or tasty. Customer service has tremendous scope to improve, need multiple reminders to the room service/restaurant staff to get the order/request delivered. Most of the employees in this hotel looks very inexperienced, so they are shy & they don't try to connect to the customer. Having invested so much to build this beautiful property on a unique location in Munnar, management should invest in hiring the right staff or train the existing staff on customer service & increase the standard for a pleasant experience. I would rate the view from this hotel incomparable to any known/famous view points in Munnar. I wish the hotel takes this feedback seriously & improve on the Customer Service.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Forest Canopy; City: Thekkady Idukki District Kerala; Review: Forest canopy is located on a hill surrounded by beautiful forest & plantations. The rooms are elegant independent cottages with big balcony. The cottages are located on hill slopes, some are closer to the main road & some are farther from the main road. The cottages located on top of the hill have a better view & ambiance. The cottages are big & comfortable for a family of 4 Members(Including 2 Children). The hotel management provides cab service to go to reception & restaurant as the hotel is located on a terrain, elderly might find it difficult to climb the steep slopes. They are very prompt in arranging the cabs so no concerns on this part. Youngsters would really enjoy strolling through the property by enjoying the views in the facility. We had a wonderful experience in this hotel right from the reception staff, cab drivers, room service & restaurant staff are very courteous & helpful. For recreation, this hotel offers swimming pool, spa, a indoor sports activity room(Table Tennis, Chess/Carrom, Foosball etc) & outdoor sports(Open Badminton court & Basketball Basket). Food is very delicious, kudos to Chief Chef Varun & his staff for giving personal attention to every customer & taking care of their requirements.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jal Mahal Resort Spa; City: Mysuru Mysore Mysore District Karnataka; Review: This Resort is located on the outskirts of Mysore & little far from the city(9KMs to Mysore Palace). The hotel is in a calm & isolated location with no development for 3 KM radius, this place would suit for people who have their own vehicle for going around or travelers need to hire a cab through the hotel. The check-in experience was OK. The rooms are relatively bigger with all the basic amenities you expect from a typical 3 star hotel. There is scope to improve on the cleanliness because though the room looked spacious, it had a very distinct odour (Kind of a unpleasant smell due to dampness). This hotel has got just one restaurant & a small Bar facing the swimming pool. Breakfast spread was limited with an average taste/quality. The ala-carte food seemed to taste much better than the food served in the Dinner or BreakFast Buffet. You don't have much of a choice for food given that you should travel at least 10 KMs to find alternate eating options. They do have a small indoor play area(Snooker, Foos ball, Table tennis, Carom etc). For outdoor sports, they have a small children's play area(swing etc..) & cricket net practice area in the parking. This hotel has a decent sized swimming pool but I didn't like the smell of the water in the pool. Kids pool is closed now for unknown reasons. This is a small resort so you don't get much to do inside the resort. The staffs are courteous but not very professional. Many of them don't understand/speak English. If the hotel management addresses some of the main concerns mentioned in this review, I am sure this hotel will become one of the worthwhile places to stay in Mysore for travelers but for now its a long way to go.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Fragrant Nature Backwater Resort Ayurveda Spa; City: Kollam Kollam District Kerala; Review: Clean and well maintained hotel, large rooms, very nice staff (Chinchu and Sreejith in particular) pool and spa were well appointed. Rooms are very nice and have great views. Awesome location.Sunset Bar staff and in-hotel restaurant staff are great. Only suggestion would be some of the equipment's in the gym needs replacing as is looking a little worn. Highly recommended for a relaxing holiday in the picturesque Kerala.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mascot Beach Resort; City: Kannur Kannur District Kerala; Review: This hotel is located on the sea shore & offers a good sea view from some of the rooms. Rooms are dated with average cleanliness. This hotel has a small restaurant with average food quality, very limited spread & OK taste. Front office staffs badly need training on Customer service, surprised to see very hostile attitude towards customers. They rent their outer area for marriage parties so it may get really crowded & noisy. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Aroma Ayur Heritage Resort; City: Kannur Kannur District Kerala; Review: This Resort is located in Mattanur about 27 kms from Kannur. This is a very small resort with a 24hrs restaurant & ayurvedic treatment facility. This place is suitable only for people who come for treatment, please note no other facility available inside the resort campus. The rooms are quite big with average cleanliness(Don;t expect star hotel ambiance or cleanliness). The mattress was hard with oil stains on the bed cover & bathroom hygiene was OK. The rooms doesn't offer any good views as the facility is located in middle of a residential area. No recreation facilities like pool, play area etc. The restaurant food was decent but please note there is no alternate options available in the nearby area for food. You may have to travel for 1 to 1.5 hrs to reach Kannur. .I will not recommend this hotel to people who is visiting this place for recreation, this place is suitable for people undergoing ayurvedic treatments. I personally tried the varma massage at the facility & it was very good.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ban Sainai Resort; City: Ao Nang Krabi Town Krabi Province; Review: Ban Sainai is located in Ao Nang in Krabi. Front office staffs are pleasant & helpful Stayed in a spacious room facing the beautiful mountain cliffs. The premium room was equipped with Jacuzzi in the spacious bathroom. The room was well kept with an Air-condition, mini refrigerator, 2 water bottle & complimentary chips. This hotel is an eco friendly hotel, spread across couple of acres with 40 to 50 cottages/cabanas. There are 2 restaurants in this hotel one is located adjacent to the swimming pool & one on the banks of a pond. The restaurant near the pond is where the breakfast buffet is served, its an amazing experience to taste the Thai food in a picturesque location. The breakfast spread is decent & food ordered through the room service is also edible but they can improve on the room service as it took more than 30 mins to deliver the food. They provide shuttle service between the hotel & Ao Nang beach every 2 hours which is helpful otherwise you may need to rent a tuk-tuk to commute. You can rent the small motor bike for 200-250 Bhat if you are comfortable riding in this part of the world.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Petrodex Dental Care Kits for Cats; Brand: Petrodex; Review: I hear a lot of people say "My cat would never let me brush his teeth." I say, never say never. It just takes a lot of time and patience, which we humans generally lack. I don't know why I was previously under the impression that brushing your pet's teeth is a once-in-a-blue-moon thing, but it really should (and safely can) be done daily, just like our own teeth. This paste is enzymatic, which I understand is the important part. Plus, geared specifically towards cats and all 3 of mine at least like and at best love the taste. I found the key is to make it as enjoyable as you can for the cat. Start just by giving them a taste of the paste a couple times a day as a treat. Get them used to the flavor and texture (it's rather sticky). LOTS of praise and petting and positive reinforcement. From there, progress to putting some on your bare finger and rubbing it on their teeth and gums, getting them used to you prodding about in their mouths. Just getting the paste in their mouth helps with dental hygiene even if it doesn't get brushed on. LOTS of praise and petting and positive reinforcement. Then the brushes. Personally, my cats and I weren't big fans of the finger brush. While a little easier for me to manipulate, its size makes it harder to get to the back teeth imho and that seems to bug my cats more than the regular brush. The regular brush on the other hand is truly a foreign object going into their mouths and took longer for them to get used to. For mine, I made it a toy; bat at the end of the brush. Then I put a little toothpaste on it and the game is, bat at the end of the brush and lick the paste off. Brush just a small area at a time - the front canines usually garner the least resistance. LOTS of praise and petting and positive reinforcement. I'm told not to worry about the insides of the teeth. That your cat is probably never going to be thrilled about. The outside and towards the back is where most of the plaque builds up. 10 seconds or so each side is enough to work it into the problem areas. It's been a month now and one of mine fully accepts the routine. The other two still resist a bit but are getting much better about it. I can now get all of their teeth, front and back, top and bottom, if with a lot of egging on for the other two. The one that is good about it lays on her back on my lap in the rub-my-belly position. Every cat is different: Do what's most comfortable for them. And did I mention that it takes time, patience, and LOTS of praise, petting, and positive reinforcement? Your kitty will come around. It might take a few weeks or a few months, but it's worth it. I brush at night; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Petrodex Enzymatic Cat Malt Flavor Toothpaste, 2-1/2-Ounce; Brand: Petrodex; Review: I was previously using something generic for dogs and cats I got at a pet store, plus for some reason, didn't know you can/should brush their teeth daily. On researching the subject, I learned enzymatic toothpaste is important - just getting it in their mouth, even if they won't let you brush, helps. And of course, a taste they like makes all the difference. The toothpaste itself is a treat for them. While only 1 of my 3 is being truly good about the brushing, the other two are coming around. Lots of work and patience. Lots, and lots of it! But the difference is fantastic. No more "cat breath" (who knew that foul breath is not normal in pets?) and their gums look way better. Good stuff!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Virbac CET Enzymatic Toothpaste - Poultry, 70 gm.; Brand: Virbac; Review: Even if all you can do is get kitty to lick a little off your finger, it helps a lot. Bonus if you can rub a little on their gums. Ultimate bonus if you can get a toothbrush in their little mouths. Poultry seems to be the most universally liked flavor among mine with the exception of one of my finicky cats. His flavor? Vanilla-mint. Go figure.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Virbac C.E.T. Enzymatic Toothpaste; Brand: Virbac; Review: It's the one flavor he truly likes - go figure! Raising him and his sister from kittens, I figured it would be a snap to get them used to getting their teeth brushed. His sister? Ok. Bandito? Gives me the most sad, pathetic, "Why are you torturing me?" looks. Finding the flavor he really likes helped. Some days, there's no brushing; just letting them lick a little (which still does a fair amount of good). So that way they aren't strictly associating the toothpaste with the evil brush; it is sometimes just a treat on its own. He's slowly getting used to the brush. *Slowly.*; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: PetSafe Drinkwell Original Cat and Dog Water Fountain, Filtered Water for Your Pet, 50 oz. Water Capacity; Brand: PetSafe; Review: I was most worried about noise, as I live in a tiny RV. Turns out, unless there's hair/dirt starting to get into the pump, the water falling makes more noise than the pump. I.e.; pleasant water sound instead of pump-humming. 5 cats and none of them hate it. Reactions range from indifference to the one kitten who was really fussy about water, now loving the water flow. My only minor complaint; the very top piece isn't really latched on, so if the cats are roughhousing and jump on it just right, it comes off. Doesn't hurt anything though when it does.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Catnip Leaf Cut and Sifted 16oz (1 Pound); Brand: Wendy's Herbs and Botanicals; Review: Product was in a plastic bag with a twisty tie, in the amazon box. As such, when I tossed the package inside then went shopping, I came back to find the cats already trying to get into it! What else can one say about catnip? They love it, I also like the smell, and it's endless entertainment for me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Scoop Away Extra Strength, Scented Litter -; Brand: Scoop Away; Review: I've found Scoop Away to be the best combination of dryness and odor control. My litterbox sits in an area that can be really humid when it rains. Arm & Hammer was my favorite for odor control, but in high humidity it absorbs the damp and gets icky. Scoop Away is nearly equal on odor control and stays nice and dry. Well, so long as I keep up on cleaning the box on time!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Petmate Fresh Flow Replacement Pump 120V without Flow Valve; Brand: Petmate; Review: Since nothing else changed about the fountain or its placement, I have to believe it's the pump. Maybe because there's no flow control so it runs high enough to vibrate? Fine if there are other things on in the room, like a fan. But otherwise, I can't sleep with it. Not sure if it deters the cats - they don't seem to care but I sure do. I live in a tiny RV, so relocating it elsewhere to escape the noise isn't an option.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Pioneer Pet Replacement Pump and Transformer; Brand: Pioneer Pet; Review: Giving it the benefit of the doubt and therefore 5 stars even though I haven't actually used it, since I can't say that it doesn't work in fountains that it fits. Just be aware the top piece, small as it is, still too big to fit in an original Drinkwell.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: TabCat Pet Tracking Cat Collar Tracker System - Includes 2 Tags; Brand: Tabcat Cat Tracking Collar; Review: I've used the previous Loc8tor version for a couple of years until the base unit broke - wonky battery connection. Hopefully they've addressed it in this newer version? Since the base units look the same. My only other complaint is that the previous tag design with its more oblong shape was better for slipping over a collar. Otherwise though, it is FANTASTIC peace of mind when I call my cats in for dinner and one doesn't show up. It only works within a couple hundred feet, less if there's a lot of stuff (cars, walls) between you and the cat. But if you have a general idea of their hiding places, it's great for confirming that, "Yes, she's under Susi's house," or "Yes, she's playing in the poison oak patch again." The beep that the tag makes when you're searching for it... at least one of my cats has learned the beep means dinner time and will often come out of hiding on his own when his tag beeps.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: TOMLYN Hairball Remedy Gel for Cats, Tuna Flavor, (Laxatone); Brand: Tomlyn; Review: I mash a little fingerfull on each cat's nose a couple times a week. Yes, they *could* just lick it off my finger, but the stuff is way gooey, like molasses, and it takes a while for kitty to lick it. Hence, the smear-it-on-the-nose technique my vet showed me. All 5 of mine love the stuff. Even the picky eaters who don't always like treats!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |

Title: Fans fume after 'Wheel of Fortune' seemingly makes mistake; Abstract: On Thursday's Wheel Of Fortune, contestant Angela Evans won big with a little help from host Pat Sajak. Evans is a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps and was part of the very special "Veteran Week" celebration on the show. During the final puzzle in regulation, it sounded like Evans asked for the consonant B but Sajak thought she said D. There was a D in the puzzle and no B. Evans solved the puzzle, "DRINKING FROM A COCONUT," just a few moments later. With the win Evans advanced to the bonus round, in which the same thing seemingly happened again. When she was selected her three consonants it sounded like she asked for B-H-B. Sajak asked, "By the way, the third consonant was a D - Is that what you said? B-H-D?" To add to the confusion Evans said, "No, B." To which Sajak replied, "No, first one was B then you called an H." Eventually they got it sorted out, though it wasn't much help because there were no B's or D's in the puzzle. Regardless, fans at home were upset and took to Twitter to voice their frustration. While Evans didn't win the bonus puzzle, she did go home with $19,800 worth of prizes. So in the end it was a pretty good day...or bay, as Evans might say.; Category: video

Title: Granite Park Chalet; City: West Glacier Montana; Review: As backcountry primitive lodging options go, Granite Park Chalet simply cannot be topped. Breathtaking scenery. Hiker comaraderie. Beautifully simple amenities. Competent and very gracious hosts. Silence! Take the achingly beautiful highline trail from Logan Pass to the chalet. Yes, it's vertigo heaven, but never dangerous. A weekly mule train brings supplies to the chalet, including propane for stove/lights in the main building! Use the option to order ahead basic supplies (e.g, freeze-dried food / water / sundries -- see their website). Well-stocked, self-serve kitchen. Beds are comfortable enough, although bring earplugs as all whispers and snorings are heard. Excellent resident spotting scope. Clean, stand-alone composting toilets. Water source (filtered to 1 micron) within easy walk from chalet. Recommend further filtering or boiling. Trash receptacles located in main chalet. Although adult beverages (packed in, of course) are permitted if consumed with discretion and respect for others, the chalet is not a party spot -- quiet time begins at 10PM. Come for solace. Recommend staying at least two nights -- more to attain full mountain nirvana! Moderate day hikes (<4 miles RT) from chalet base camp to views at either Swiftcurrent Pass fire lookout tower or Grinnel Glacier overlook are to die for. Take the 7.5 mile Highline Trail back to Logan pass. Skip the knee-unfriendly 4 mile Loop trail. It's all downhill, passing through exposed, burned forest that's not all that scenic anyway, plus the Highline trail affords periodic water filtering opportunities. Plan well ahead -- this gem is only open a few months each year and fills very fast. You won't regret it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Castello di Ripa d Orcia; City: Castiglione D Orcia Tuscany; Review: With breathtaking views overlooking the forested Orcia River valley, this authentic slice of medieval Italy is not to be missed. Phillipo and Dino are first-rate and yet invisible hosts; the estate wine was superb and very fairly priced, and the on-premise dining was first rate (best tiramisu we ever ate - the estate matriarch does all the cooking). The premises are very well-kept and the quietness and night sky are unparalleled. Only the Montana wilderness could match it. Days trips to key Tuscan wine areas (Chianti, Montalcino, Montepulciano) towns are easy. Should you decide to stay here, allocate at least 3 nights and dedicate one entire day to stay on premise (to include a good stint at the superbly beautiful hillside pool). This place will quielty overcome you in a wonderful way ... enjoy! P.S. ... the other 3 trip stops were Venice, Cinque Terre and Lake Como/Bellagio.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chancellor Hotel on Union Square; City: San Francisco California; Review: What a perfect, fairly priced, nicely modernized, charming, conveniently located, clean, and professionally-staffed beauty! Very knowledgable concierge staff. Great happy hour value. Many public transportation options easily accessible (cable cars, F-Line trolley cars to Financial and Wharf districts, easy 3-block walk to BART station to, e.g., SF Int'l. Airport (easy ~35-minute ride $16 RT). In the very heart of the shopping district. Also an easy walk to Chinatown, Little Italy ("North Shore"). The Chancellor is a perfect find. Don't tell anyone! LOL P.S. buy the 3-day public transportation pass from the hotel concierge for a mere $21. Forget about needing a car in San Fran!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Savage River Lodge; City: Frostburg Maryland; Review: Don't cheat yourself and come here for less than a two-night stay. The solace of its wonderful location doesn't sink in until the second night -- and beyond! Come here if you seek: 1. Peace and quiet. 2. Beautiful Appalachian scenery. 3. Outdoor recreation (X-C skiiing, hiking, birdwatching, fishing). 4. Good food at reasonable prices (with a great wine list). 5. Professional hospitality (who could argue w/fresh muffins/OJ & Wash. Post delivered to your doorstep each morning?). 6. Covered porch w/rocking chairs; gas fireplace, cozy loft, small fridge. So comfy. HINT: Request a cabin furthest away from Lodge, w/porch facing south into the woods. You will thank me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Sonoma County Airport; City: Santa Rosa Sonoma County California; Review: Everything you'd expect from a HGI. Right off the 101, in the heart of Sonoma County wine country. Very near Somona County airport (not to a fault). A few restaurants/convenience stores within walking distance, otherwise not many services very near the hotel. If you are looking for just a place to crash, this is perfect. You'd probably do better elsewhere if you are looking for a hotel where one could walk to city services (Sebastpol, Santa Rosa, etc.). But if you are just passing through the area, or your trip is say centered around visiting wineries then returning to a clean bed, then this hotel is fine. Nothing negative to say about this property, all told. Note, you could easily day-trip to Napa, Anderson Valley (even to the coolest town in CA ... Mendocino), and especially to the ultra-fun Sonoma redwoods zip line (west of the hotel by ~half-an-hour or so). Enjoy!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hotel Castle Garden; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: We enjoyed our stay immensely at Castle Garden. We arrived very late on the first night of our stay, but the reception was ready for us and knew exactly who we were. The welcome drink card was also a nice touch, as well as the complimentary teas, coffees and soft drinks in the lobby each afternoon. Throughout the stay the staff were very courteous and helpful. The rooms were clean and modern, if a little hot at night. The beds were a little short on pillows, although more were provided if necessary. The location of this hotel is fantastic and a perfect base for your stay - very quiet day and night, yet a minute's walk to the beautiful castle district. The hotel is also very close to a large metro station if you don't fancy the ascent from the river after a day of walking. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Budapest for a short break.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Atlanta Hotel; City: Bangkok; Review: I arrived at the Atlanta at about 2am after a delayed flight, and was glad to have arrived at all! The taxi driver didn't know the hotel and we drove around for a long while trying to find it, but once I arrived, the staff were helpful and attentive. I had been recommended this hotel as a unique experience from a colleague, and was not expecting luxury, but was impressed by the cleanliness and simple comfort of the room. The air conditioning was very welcome, and a small terrace was a nice addition. I had a fantastic night's sleep. The best feature of the Atlanta is its pool. As a first time visitor to Thailand, it was a lovely place to relax in such a hectic city. The small restaurant is also good - I recommend the banana pancakes and of course, the ubiquitous juices that are so good in this part of the world. I wouldn't recommend this hotel if you are not an animal lover - the Atlanta appears to have acquired a range of 'pets' over the years, something I found to be only another unique charm. The hotel itself was certainly the experience that I expected. The somewhat famed founder of the hotel's influence can be found everywhere. The hotel prides itself on welcoming only those who wish to experience the true culture of the city (no sex tourists, etc!) and offers advice on all aspects of the city through a self-published guidebook in the Art Deco foyer and its own tourist information desk. The hotel itself is located in a quiet side street in Sukhumvit district, near to bars, shops and restaurants. It is also near to a railway station, but I found that taxis are the easiest way to get around if you are not familiar with the area. This hotel was an unforgettable start to my travels in SE Asia, and is very good value for money. Don't expect luxury; only an experience that you are unlikely to forget!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: New Inn Hotel; City: Clapham Yorkshire Dales National Park North Yorkshire England; Review: A very friendly welcome to a lovely pub after a long walk. We ordered the ploughman's and the huntsman's, which were worth every penny. Everything on the plates was delicious and of the best quality. The cheese and bread in particular were wonderful. Everything else that came out of the kitchen looked lovely too; this pub leaves you spoilt for choice.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Griff House Bed Breakfast; City: Buxton Derbyshire England; Review: We stayed for 3 nights in May, and really enjoyed our visit. We were made to feel very welcome throughout our stay. Our room was very large and comfortable, with a really well-stocked hospitality tray and a very useful fridge. The breakfast was great - really set us up for a long day's walking - and the granola was the best I have had. Griff House is well-located for Buxton's high street (only 2 mins walk) and for superb Peak District walking. We hope to be back soon - we loved it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hub by Premier Inn London Spitalfields Brick Lane; City: London England; Review: We stayed for a few nights in February, and really enjoyed our stay. The room was TINY but had absolutely everything you could need - the storage ideas were very cool. The free film selection on the smart TV was also a great touch.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
Given the interaction history of a user with books as follows:
Title: A Clash of Kings: A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Two; Author: Visit Amazon's George R. R. Martin Page; Review: It is inevitable that the second book in a promising series would be compared to its predecessor. And I realize that not every link in the chain can be as strong as every other link, when humans are concerned that is. Nevertheless, I never enjoyed an opera with too many recitatives. A Clash of Kings is good, but the narrative was not as engaging and less streamlined than A Game of Thrones. Each episode had the same quality if not better than A Game of Thrones, but the overall picture was fuzzier. Meaning you'll be absolutely delighted with particular chapters but won't like the overall book as much as A Game of Thrones. Of course, this is in comparison to one of the best modern fantasy books available, and A Clash of Kings still have much less of the abrupt feel than any Wheel of Time book I've read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Eye of the World (The Wheel of Time, Book 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Robert Jordan Page; Review: While many hold this first book to be a slow beginning, I praise this book for it! It worked very well at setting up the rest of the series. The adventure elements between The Two Rivers and Caemlyn were especially a delight and brought back a little nostalgia of classic adventures such Huck Finn. The pacing in this book is the best of the series in my opinion. It lacks the characteristic blandness that plagues many of the following volumes. While there is some non-sense bickering, it won't annoy you as much as it will later on. This series is definitely an improvement over Jordan's previous macho, testosterone filled Conan series. As a matter of fact, we have some downright PMS'd females. JK. IMNSHO, Jordan is right now tied for second among active Fantasy writers with Robin Hobb. In the lead is the Great George Rail Road Martin with his A Song of Ice and Fire series. The first book of which is A Game of Thrones, followed by A Clash of Kings, and the very-soon-to-be-published A Storm of Swords. If you're overly annoyed by Jordan's adolescent characters, read this series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Great Hunt (The Wheel of Time, Book 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Robert Jordan Page; Review: This second installment in the WoT series is one of the better ones. It contains none of the bland mid-game maneuvering of books 5 through 8, and maintains the adventurous romance of book 1. The pace starts off slowly but concludes in one of the more unforgetable endings in the series. This book was the most difficult one to read for me because of its ponderously slow start but the last third is enthralling. After this one however, the series takes a generally downward trend. If you really enjoy this series, give George R.R. Martin a try. His current fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fires, is the best yet. It starts with A Game of Thrones, followed by A Clash of Kings, and the soon-to-be-published A Storm of Swords. And unlike The WoT recently, every book is better than the last. Worth every penny.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Ten Things You Can't Say in America; Author: Visit Amazon's Larry Elder Page; Review: It is generally accepted that these TV and radio talkshow hosts talk better than they write, so these books can't really be judged upon their own merits. While I think this book isn't as "revelating" or "insightful" as many have to be, it still serves a good purpose. The purpose I mention is to preserve this free speech we all hold dear, at least in our constitution. Realistically, only a few things are free and public speech is not one of them. Free speech is a right that is most important when it protects the least liked views and opinions. While the legality of what Elder has to say is not questioned, the appropriateness is still hotly debated. Major social factions oppose these views and the only way Elder gets away with saying these things is because that's his job! If he were a member of the staff of an all-black college and he publicly stated these ideas, guess what would happen? While I have no illusions as to Larry Elder's wisdom or writing skill, I still have to applaud him for publishing a necessity to the health of this nation and its ideology. America is aging, that is, it is lapsing into meaningless tradition and routine, and developing a potentially harmful general "code of conduct." A constitution is only a constitution...a reflection of the prevalent attitudes in a society. It can be changed...it has been nearly thirty times already. This book would still be good if it served no other purpose but to remind us in which direction the truth lies.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Storm of Swords (HBO Tie-in Edition): A Song of Ice and Fire: Book Three; Author: Visit Amazon's George R. R. Martin Page; Review: The problem with fantasy authors these days is that when they write, they set out to write good fantasy. When George R.R. Martin writes, he sets out good literature. What he ends up with is what we've all enjoyed these past four years, excellent quality literature that makes you better for having read it. This series is for an emotionally balanced person. That is, one who can appreciate as well as endure the entire spectrum of emotions. One who is not too dependent upon the good feelings and are vulnerable to the bitter ones. For it is a bittersweet story, filled with despair and hope, grief and joy. All of it good to the very last drop. This series is also not for the squeamish little girls in you. Violence is as real and horrid as it should be. Sex is not overlooked either. Some may find fault in the inclusion of these elements but I assure you that they are not for gratuity's sake. They have purpose, to set the tone for the entire series. They are to make you uncomfortable, for comfort dulls the senses. So that you do not get any misconceptions, this series is not entirely bleak or monotonously disturbing. There is much wonder and mystique, and a sense of romance. It is a well balanced series, with a grim serious tone to it. That very tone however, serves to heighten the aura of magic about the whole series. And lastly, while this series is grim and solemn, it won't damage your psyche or make you a cynical and jaded person. Its entertainment value is still quite high, but not at the cost of its intellectual value. It's a fun read for those with sophisticated taste in epic fantasy. Having said that, beginners to the genre will find it hard to read. There are lighter novels and series which are easier to digest and get into. For those who are disillusioned fantasy grognards, this series will turn you into babbling fools again. For those buying book after book from Jordan or Goodkind, you may be ready to graduate to a higher level of fantasy and broaden your horizons. If all of this has not convinced you yet, consider this. This series is one of the few, if not the only series to have gotten better with each installment. That's hard to say of very many other series...hint hint.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The O'Reilly Factor: The Good, the Bad, and the Completely Ridiculous in American Life; Author: Visit Amazon's Bill O'Reilly Page; Review: This book, if it were a dish, would go down well with no complaints from me but I would not return for second helpings. And I would be grateful that it didn't fill me up too much that I would not able to eat anything else. Bill O'Reilly uses a lot of spice to mask a generally simple and uncomplicated book. You might get a few laughs or nod your head in agreement or shake it with indignation but it won't turn you into a conservative. If this book was a dish, it would destroy the venerable notion of "You are what you eat." My advice is to watch the TV show or borrow this book from the library. It won't make you a better thinker for having read the book because it's just about as deep as his show. You'll probably be more entertained with the TV version anyhow. To those who commend Bill O'Reilly on his courage in writing his views, I say bleh. What does Bill O'Reilly risk in publishing this book? Nothing. He only has to gain from a possible ratings boost to his show. To sum it all up, this book has no new ideas, scant wit and less wisdom. It won't make any changes or contributions to our society, most likely just a lot of money for Bill O'Reilly. Don't read just for reading's sake. You'd feel a lot better donating the 15 bucks to a charity than purchasing this chunk of paper.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Speaker for the Dead; Author: ORSON SCOTT CARD; Review: Orson Scott Card is both a religious and philosophical man, and he is definitely not afraid to help himself to those areas when writing his novels. This "sequel" to Ender's Game is arguably the best book in the series, incorporating more advanced elements of drama and tragedy than in Ender's Game. It also comes with a healthy dose of religious and philosophical debate, or as some would put it, debacle. I am strongly atheist yet I did not find his usage of religion at all distasteful. He approaches the subject intelligently, objectively, and passionately. And the sometimes meaningless philosophy dialogues only add to the special tangy flavor that is Orson Scott Card. If you read it to enjoy it, you'll love it. Read it to finish it and you'll like it. Read it to find fault with it, and you'll of course end up hating the thing.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Mark : The Beast Rules the World (Left Behind #8); Author: Visit Amazon's Tim LaHaye Page; Review: I suppose this series is somewhat entertaining if you've never read anything better in your life. The story is hardly new, and the humor doesn't taste so fresh either. Admittedly, the storyline is quick and the dialogue drives it with force. You can't help but like the books because your brain shuts off almost like when you're watching TV. It makes me laugh to read about those who've found truth and revelation in these books. Though I suppose it's not my place to disabuse the believers of their notion that make believe beings actually have the power to end the world. I just read the series for a few laughs and pass time in a frivolous manner. I'm not going to lose my sleep over an apocalypse, that's for sure. Those looking for religious significance be warned, you might be disappointed. This series is by no means poignant, and even less wise. It's an entertaining tale that will make the authors and their publishers a LOT of money. No wonder it's a bestseller; good for the masses, but those with a higher degree of taste might look elsewhere for more profound fiction. Or borrow from a library, like I did. Take it for what it is, and it won't disappoint because the bottom line is that it's entertaining to a high degree.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Magician; Author: Visit Amazon's Raymond E. Feist Page; Review: This was my first fantasy read and since then I have grown out of its simplicity and moved on to deeper reads. However, I still remember this book with much fondness and nostalgia. It is an easy read for teenagers and beginners to fantasy alike. There are plenty of archetypical characters that can be identified with quickly and easily. The pace is smooth and action filled, without so much as a hiccup. The best part about the novels based on the world of Midkemia is the fantasy setting itself. The world of Midkemia and Kelewan have been carefully developed first as roleplaying campaign settings. The forethought shows in the meticulous details of the world. Midkemia is at once fantastical and yet, believable. The economics and the demographics are plausible, and the politics is decent as well. It isn't the best fantasy you can find but it's a good place to start for those new to the genre, and the magic is unequaled.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Redwall; Author: Visit Amazon's Brian Jacques Page; Review: When a child has outgrown the childhood classics from Disney, this is the place where parents can continue their reading. The recommended ages of 9 to 12 are excellent, as the level of reading comprehension is perfect for the simple, yet magical tales of Redwall Abbey. The stories themselves are of course, simplistic. The characters are archetypical; good and evil, rogues and warriors, cowards and courageous heroes. There is always a happy ending and the obstacles in the heroes' way are not too frightening or depressing. The setting is well designed and imaginative, retaining the talking-animal attraction of earlier childhood fantasies. There is no better fantasy for the pre-teen crowd. Once a child gets to about 13, however, they are much too old to start. Some might continue to read well past that age, but none will want to start to read what they consider "kiddy stories".; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Silverthorn; Author: ; Review: I'll never claim the Riftwar series to be complex or profound, but I believe it is a magical story. Thanks to the fantastic setting of Midkemia, this simple story takes on an aura of mystique and romance unrivaled in the genre. The second book in the series, however, is not up to par with either Magician or A Darkness at Sethanon. Still, it is at once enthralling and rapturous. There is no doubt that more sophisticated fantasy abounds, but the Riftwar Saga is still a good place to begin your journey.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ender's Game (The Ender Quintet); Author: Visit Amazon's Orson Scott Card Page; Review: This is probably the oldest book in existence that's actually popular among teenagers. And there's little wonder as to why. It incorporates nicely a light, action filled sci-fi plot with equally lean elements of psychology. All the elements that made The Matrix a teenage hit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Darkness at Sethanon (Riftwar Saga, Vol 3); Author: Raymond Feist; Review: Such a magical series like the Riftwar Saga deserves a correspondingly satisfying and climatic conclusion. In A Darkness at Sethanon, Feist writes some of his best battle scenes ever, and the plot thickens with rapidity. A Darkness at Sethanon cannot possibly disappoint someone already hooked by the magic of Magician and Silverthorn. The level of conflict intensifies and the ominous dark forces gather. The heroes of the land brace for the coming storm. Victory must be achieved to ensure the safety of Midkemia. The Riftwar series as a whole gets a resounding conclusion from this last book. This is Feist at his best.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shadow of a Dark Queen; Author: Visit Amazon's Raymond E. Feist Page; Review: In the Serpentwar Saga, Feist loses some of the magical grandeur of the Riftwar Saga. The characters are more "common", the focus is on a lower scale. While the Riftwar concentrated on superhuman characters fighting demonic forces, the Serpentwar is more focused on mundane warfare. One cannot fault Feist for not being creative, however. He does well in that department. The story is quite interesting, even if the execution is not always up to par. With this book in particular, that polarization will be evident. All in all, a fun read for fantasy beginners. Advanced fans of the genre should check George R.R. Martin's series, A Song of Ice and Fire.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rise of a Merchant Prince (Bk. 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Raymond E. Feist Page; Review: A book focused on one character? A book focused on commerce? A book with more intrigue than adventure? What happened to our good old Feist? I suppose a change wasn't necessarily a bad idea. I guess Feist needed some way to stretch out the series. Not much happens in this novel, at least not the main storyline. Oh sure, they go kill some Pantathians and encounter a demon but still. The bulk of the book was about Roo's quest to get rich. Like I said, strange. Still, the book was a fun read. Like all of Feist novels, it is good for beginners to the fantasy genre. Serious fans should check George R.R. Martin's series, A Song of Ice and Fire.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Prince of the Blood; Author: Visit Amazon's Raymond E. Feist Page; Review: In Prince of the Blood, we finally get a book set in the Keshian Empire. We get to read about the infamous Durbin and see the majestic grandeur of Kesh itself. It is an adventure at heart with light elements of intrigue and mystery. Important things happen to major characters we've come to know and love. Generally an interesting side tale in the Midkemian Saga.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Northern Lights: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Howard Norman Page; Review: This book is intelligent, well written and organized, and has loveable characters. It may be a bit too much for anyone under 10, but from 10 to 14, this is great reading. True, it is rather dark and dreary, but it's about time. I always considered an ability to enjoy sadness a sign of genius. One can't live in the happy fairy tales forever. This is a great read for fans of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, and fans of this series should check Martin out as well. The two are different yet alike, difficult to explain but easy to appreciate. The final judgment? Intelligence and imagination collide to create the most original allegorical fantasy since Narnia.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials, Book 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Philip Pullman Page; Review: As the second book of this imaginative and intelligent fantasy series, The Subtle Knife does its job well. As a standalone book, it excels. What's with the paradoxical comparison, you ask? The other two are just so GOOD. I couldn't help but compare this series to Narnia. The usage of young characters in the parallel world archetype was made infamous by C.S. Lewis. Yet, this series is different and I think, better suited to older children. It is certainly more entertaining than most intelligent prose you'll ever find.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The King's Buccaneer; Author: Visit Amazon's Raymond E. Feist Page; Review: In this side adventure in Midkemia, we get our first taste of the new continent, Novindus, and meet some new evil villains. The book concentrates on Nicholas, the deformed youngest son of Prince Arutha and Princess Anita. It is an interesting story, much the same as the other side adventure, Prince of the Blood. There is a large adventure element combined with a bit of intrigue and suspense. Most importantly, we get to see more of the incredible world of Midkemia!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets; Author: Visit Amazon's J.K. Rowling Page; Review: Here comes the second band wagon, has your kid jumped on it yet? This is the Britney Spears of children's fantasy. The music is bad, the singing is almost decent, but the hype is tremendous. The controversy also brews. Despite the fact that J.K. Rowling is not that much more than an overhyped plum, the series is still great for your kids. Why? Because they'll grow up thinking that reading can be fun. And that's an attitude that's more valuable than all the diamonds in Africa. So buy this for your kids if for no other reason than to get them to READ!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1); Author: Visit Amazon's J.K. Rowling Page; Review: These days, parents should do ANYTHING to get their children hooked on reading. This series is not the best in the world but the hype surrounding it could convince your children to read it. It's a simple, easy read that kids will love. From an older perspective, the series can seem simplistic, but this is for children. Even YA might be too high a rating for it. The zany characters and simple evil versus good conflict are perfect for the young audience. After kids have become convinced that reading can be fun, they'll be more likely to grow up and become intelligent people. This book and its sequels might be the boost your children need!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Hobbit; Author: Visit Amazon's J. R. R. Tolkien Page; Review: Epic fantasy just wouldn't exist as we know it without the master. There would be Brooks, no Goodkind, no Jordan, no Feist, no Martin, etc. etc. etc. It takes literature of a high degree to spark such fascination and enthusiasm in readers and writers alike. It took something like the Lord of the Rings. To be sure, The Lord of the Rings is a mythical tale, a legend documented in detail by a faithful historian. It's paradoxically fantastical and yet so real. The characters are archetypical, but that is how they should be, for legends are after all, the beginnings of all fiction. Everything about it screams refinement. It seems like a good tale passed down from generation to generation, with all of the diluting that occurs along the way. Don't get passed by the bandwagon, jump now! Buy this collection immediately and be a part of literary history.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Song for Arbonne; Author: Visit Amazon's Guy Gavriel Kay Page; Review: A Song of Arbonne reads like a poem. That style has many inherent advantages as well as disadvantages. The intellectual emotion is high but the human emotion is low. This book feels like a dream instead of an experience. It is constantly fading in and out of one's reality. Like a poem, one never gets a grasp upon it. It stays aloof from the reader, teasing us with its soft caresses. That said, it's still a good read, though somewhat different. The melodrama is in abundance, as is lyrical style, but not much raw drama.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Lions of al-Rassan; Author: Visit Amazon's Guy Gavriel Kay Page; Review: I have to say that this book is a good Kay book, making it an excellent book. However, it is a little on the flat side as a fiction. Its historical/mythical overtones are strong, yet the characters are all too forgettable. This is a book that is poetic but not quite dramatic, full of melodrama that is instantly gratifying but brief and intangible. It might have done well as a poem but as a book, it just doesn't quite cut it. Nevertheless, the intrigue and whirlwind conflicts of war clash brilliantly in this novel. It's still a fun read if not particularly profound.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Little House On The Prairie; Author: Visit Amazon's Laura Ingalls Wilder Page; Review: I can still remember this book after all these years. It was and still is a sweet story, one that must be read by every American. It continues to amaze me how well a simple children's story can capture the lifestyle and the spirit of the late 1800s. It is a tale of nothing less than the human experience: hardship and prosperity alike seen through the innocent eyes of a young girl. Try as you may, you'll never be able to resist the charms of this story. Laura Ingalls Wilder will forever live on in your heart as a bright flame, symbolic of everything good in our country, our world, and our entire existence. It is a must read for all children everywhere. A thousand times more valuable than Star Wars or Pokemon, it is something a kid can love and hold on to for the rest of his or her life.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Little House Reader, A (Little House Books); Author: Laura Ingalls Wilder; Review: The saga of Laura Ingalls Wilder is an enduring tale that is an essential part of the American experience. A large part of its enthralling attraction is the honest description of the lifestyle of the late 1800s. It's like a window into our past through the eyes of a girl. We see conflict and character, struggle and triumph, sweet and bitter. It is truly something that will make you better for having read it. This is no less than required reading for young children everywhere. While being educational as well as entertaining, it is so heartfelt a story as to be transcendent. And this book is where that story begins. The journey starts here, and what a journey it is, take the first step and buy this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dune (Penguin Galaxy); Author: Visit Amazon's Frank Herbert Page; Review: Dune, or as I like to call it, When Genius Met Brilliance, is a book with all the elements of good literature. One that defies the genres, the accepted limitations. The book that launched a thousand imaginations. Like Lord of the Rings, it is a book that defined what good literature meant. I can go on about the technical details, but that will only ruin the mystique of the book. Venture forth onto this journey of human accomplishment.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America: Second Edition; Author: Visit Amazon's David Allen Sibley Page; Review: If you're looking for a book that can be your primary guide for long time, this is it. Neophytes and experts alike will benefit from its excess of information and excellent illustration. Personally, I had little trouble navigating through this rather sizeable book. Everything from illustrations to maps are clearly laid out in an orderly manner. It is very important to be able to quickly find the information you need at critical moments when birding. I also had few problems toting this book around. Any avid birder would be in good enough shape that a few extra pounds of baggage won't kill him.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban; Author: Visit Amazon's J.K. Rowling Page; Review: The level of complexity and sophistication has increased somewhat in this third book of the series. I would call Harry Potter neither complex nor sophisticated, but any increase is good. As the readership J.K. Rowling is growing older as she writes, it makes sense for her to let her books grow as well. Even with this book reaching new heights relative to its two predecessors, it's still entirely a children's novel. And it does its job commendably well. The characters and conflicts are mostly simple black and white, lending to an identifiable attribute. The hype grows as strongly and quickly as ever, but that's good. It may convince your kid to read if his or her friends are doing so. And a love for reading is what this is all about.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The American Heritage Dictionary: Fourth Edition (21st Century Reference); Author: Houghton Mifflin Company; Review: Hey, it's called the American Heritage Dictionary for a reason. We happen to be a proud people and the tradition of using American variants of English words date back from the Revolutionary War when our forefathers sought to differentiate us from the Brits. The complaints from the envious English aside, this dictionary is quite a read. Yes, it's a readable dictionary, if you're into dictionary reading that is. Its presentation makes it less of a strain on the eyes. And as ever, there is more American slang and tech lingo here than you'll find anywhere else, which may be good for parents trying to decipher what their children are talking about. All in all, a dictionary for those who are not scholars for a living.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Beatles Anthology; Author: Beatles; Review: Looking at the music industry today, it's hard to envision good music actually getting so much attention back then. The music market in America is primarily hype driven, but in the Beatles' case, that was a good thing. The Beatles' music was honest, catchy, and revolutionary, instantly appealing to the young of the 60s. Now, decades later, we finally get a tome so comprehensive as to be the definite Beatlemaniac's bible. A Beatles neophyte could become a Beatles expert through this one book alone. That's how thorough the content of the book is. The value is also great. At Amazon's incredible price..., it's a MUST BUY for any self-respecting Beatles fan.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Rhapsody: Child of Blood; Author: Visit Amazon's Elizabeth Haydon Page; Review: This book is imaginative, it's alluring, it's fantastical, but it isn't very good. Why NOT? It's like this. Fantasy is another form of fiction, a story told by an author. At the heart of it all is the plot and the characters. With fantasy, the plot and the characters are doubly important as they are the only believable things. A creative setting is great, but one cannot build a story on top of a setting, but must rather build the setting around the story. What Haydon has created is a masterful piece of ingenuity that shows no skill and sagacity. For all its colorful characters and interesting locales, its vitals are not very good. Despite what some might think, it takes more than a good imagination to write fantasy. Imagination is easy, writing is hard. I get the feeling Haydon tries to hard to be creative and not hard enough to be constructive. It shows in this book. Great setting, colorful characters, but abysmal plot, and simplistic childlike dialogue. It might be interesting to read about the characters and their world but it'll get boring if there is no story to drive it forward. Only an average book at best. For truly superb fantasy, read George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. It starts with A Game of Thrones.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Guinness World Records 2000 (Guinness Book of Records, 2000); Author: Mark C. Young; Review: I love reading this book then running around asking my friends to guess about the most interesting records that I found. Guinness has almost no competition in this field, and there's little wonder why. No one can possibly do world records better and the Guinness name is much more widely associated with world records than with the beer. This particular edition is no exception to the general Guinness excellence. The illustrations, records, and presentation are superb and easy to read. The listing is also easy to navigate, making it easy to show your family and friends your favorite records. Buy this book today!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Bachelor No. 2 or, the Last Remains of the Dodo; Brand: Aimee Mann; Review: BAchelor No. 2 is another masterpiece from on of the best singer/songwriters of her generation. Every tract is awesome. AMong the standouts (of a cd with no fluff tracts) are CIgerettes and Redvines, The Fall of the world's own Optimist-a song with a fun flavor to it, Deathly-which in large part inspired the movie Magnolia, Save me-the song nominates of the Oscar + the Quick time video of the same song and my favorie Calling it Quits- a song with includes the type of turn of phrases that has endured Ms. Mann to those who see her wonderful skill. This cd is highly polished but extremely spirited with wit and emotion. Buy this cd if you enjoy aimee mann the gt tough girl who has turned into a goldmine.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Brutal Youth; Brand: Elvis Costello; Review: How can you go wrong with Elvis And THe Attractions with Nick Lowe ? You can't. Its that simple.

Title: LET IT BE; Brand: Laibach; Review: This is unlike most any other album you have ever listen to. You know the tunes (or at least you think you do). From the opening reframes "GET BACK TO WHERE YOU ONCE BELONG" to the haunting version of I ME MINE to the purly Eastern Eurpean MAGGIE MAE this album is a masterpiece of its genre. What exactly that genre is I"ll leave to be clasified by someone more knowledgable than me. This album is spell binding in its own way. For fans of Laibach it goes without saying LET IT BE is a must for those unfimilar it is a perfect introduction. You might not know what you have heard once you've listen to it but you 'll know that you'll never listen to pop "classics" the same way again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Redhead; Brand: Bleu; Review: This i a were cool funny witty CD that will leave you impressed. From the open beats of Get Up to the end of the secret tracks you will not want the CD to end. This CD has it all from the sweet but scary Watchin' You Sleep to the intelligently somber Somethin's Gotta Give. Bleu is a true tallent. You will listen to this CD and wonder why it isn't a smash hit hogging all the radio time. This CD is fun and joyous even in its sad moments. Try out Redhead and you'll find out that it fits like a glove!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: I'm With Stupid; Brand: Aimee Mann; Review: Ms. Mann's music is no your typical female rock shlock pop. If you are someone to whom lyrics are as important as music you will have no Choice in the Matter than put this cd in your short stack of cds ..you know the cds that you wear out from contant play .....every flipping song is just so tingling to the soul...and witty ...and guitar rocking ...makes me want to go into a whirling dervish dance. Ms. Mann's muiscal spell she weaves is a personal thing to the listener..but you have to be willing to invest more that just a casual background music listen. If you like music with great depth you will love this cd it will bounce you around emotionally like a Superball...listen once twice three times then if you still don't like it go back to Debbie Gibbson and to Brittney Spears who write such insightful tunes. Ms. Mann has been around for a long time with oh so little hype that people keep saying she gets. Buy the cd and come on the emotional journey. It is a Long Shot that you won't LOVE this cd ...and you willlove it in your own personal way ..; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ultimate Collection; Brand: Aimee Mann; Review: If you come across this cd laying in the street and you don't have the contempt to stop your car spit on it then get back into your car to back up over it ..then listen to it ..and you will hear subatandard cuts and tracts that Ms. Mann had nothiing to do with collecting with this record company's greedy shameful cd that the artist had not one word of say so over. If you respect for self made people buy one of Aimee Mann's other spectactular life changing 5 star cds ...her real stuff is truly some of the greatest music I ever heard and I never grow remotely weary of it. If you want to try her out listen to a cd the artist will be compensated for and not some lowsome comapny that cares nothging about the cd and therefore you the listener.. Aimee Mann is an amazing artist..this cd shouldn't even be used as a coster.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_CDs_and_Vinyl |

Title: Katoomba Town Centre; City: Katoomba Blue Mountains New South Wales; Review: Our room was directly under the stairwell which is actually part of the room. I thought a herd of elephants were running down the corridor. This motel needs new furniture in the rooms and/or a more realistic price. We paid $120 for this room which was no better than the most basic pub room. The Carrington is only $20 more and is miles better value. We will never stay here again. The best restaurants are a long hike up the hill as well. Not exactly convenient on a cold night.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Carrington Hotel; City: Katoomba Blue Mountains New South Wales; Review: We have tried several options for accomodation in Katoomba and the Blue Mountains and cannot go past the Carrington for value for money. The hotel is beautifully furnished and the rooms large and comfortable. The rooms without en-suites are excellent with the showers not far away. This option makes the hotel great value compared to other motels with pokey and rundown en-suites. The snooker room, bar, front verandah and lounge areas make the place roomy and comfortable. Breakfast is excellent and included with the room.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quality Hotel Noah s On the Beach; City: Newcastle Greater Newcastle New South Wales; Review: Newcastle has a shortage of good value accomodation in the city. Noahs is perfectly located, very well presented and reasonably priced. With the right deal you can have a room overlooking the beach, a full breakfast and FREE parking for much the same price as other poorer accomodation. Most other places have no parking without a fee (about $28) and breakfast will add another $40+. The free parking is terrific as the motel is within walking distance to the best Necastle has to offer so you won't need to go near your car. The staff are always friendly and the food in the restaurant top quality. You won't do better than Noah's.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: La Mouche Abeille; City: Meung sur Loire Loiret Centre Val de Loire; Review: You surely cannot beat staying here when exploring the Loire Valley. Only a couple of kilometers from the beautiful village of Meung, overlooking the Loire with a beautiful walkway, cycle path to the village along the river bank. Hosts Jean Jacques and Milene have a truly special place with hectares to roam in amongst gardens and massive trees. The house and rooms are a treat in themselves. The large deck overlooking gardens and the river is a great spot to have lunch or an evening refreshment. A treasured time for us in France.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Edeowie Station; City: Hawker Flinders Ranges South Australia; Review: We stayed for 3 nights 26-29 September 2015 (not August as shown below) with a group of friends in the shearers quarters. The accomodation had everything you could want for a self contained stay. The kitchen dining and bar-b q facilities were terrific and sitting around the campfire topped the day off each night. The drives into the Pound via Bunyroo gorge are spectacular, then to return to Edeowie to watch the sunset on the ranges is something you can't see elsewhere. Sharon and Leonard are very informative and friendly are have maps for short and long hikes (Edeowie Gorge is a must walk) from the property. Great place to stay; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Propet Women's Travelwalker Slide Shoe; Brand: Propt; Review: I've enjoyed these shoes so much I had an attack of panic when none of the usual shoe places had them in stock--so it was a great relief to find them available on Amazon.com--and I promptly ordered 2 pair[the other in navy]. I had worn my others to shreds and tatters just because of not finding anything else to be as comfortable nor easy to kick off [we don't wear shoes in the house so they get a lot of 'kicking-off'] and get on again--so I'm thrilled to have these. In addition, it is very hard to find narrow sizes in casual shoes, so these are a real treat all the way around. Many thanks for keeping me 'shod' !!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Forest of Myrrh (Imhotep Book 3) eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jerry Dubs Page; Review: I deliberately would stop reading these books and read another book, just so this wonderful, educational, and entertaining series would not be over so quickly.

Title: YIHAKIDS Baby Moccasins Genuine Leather Infant Toddler Moccsin with Soft Sole Anti-Slip Prewalker Tassel Baby Shoes Multi-Colors; Brand: YIHAKIDS; Review: I have bought this type of shoes from different brands and was very pleased with them.

However, this specific pair was terrible. My daughter would complain everytime she tried them on. The heel area seemed to bother her. I checked for rough ends but couldn't find any. There was no way she would wear them for more than a few minutes. Well, she outgrew them, they are practically new and I don't even want to resale them or give them away because they might hurt another child's feet; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Femizee Girls Genuine Leather Soft Closed Toe Princess Flat Shoes Summer Sandals(Toddler/Little Kid); Brand: Femizee; Review: Beautiful design. They seem comfortable.

No slimy residue after treatment but I'm not sure how much dressing (vs. water) is being applied to the leather. Update: this is just the ticket for leather furniture.

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: The Ritz Carlton Abama; City: Guia de Isora Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: The hotel is magnificent and has a very good golf course, although it may have been honest to advise that the greens were cored and sanded making them unplayable. Arriving at 7pm we were told there was nowhere to eat as we hadn't booked. There was no hotel directory and the bell boy simply delivered our baggage and left. We were completely in the dark. Breakfast is a cafeteria buffet of screaming children and staff who think fetching a saucer to be an unreasonable task. No tea making facilities in room, not even a kettle. Internet is a nightmare, drops out in a minute or so. Message light on telephone means someone called, on enquiring we are told 'it is because we have no robot on the front'! That is the quality of personnel on reception. On a positive note the personnel at restaurants and pools were excellent. The lovely al fresco bar area has a sax player but is not relaxing due to children playing around. The food is good but once again children playing simply spoils it. A 5 minute ride to San Juan gets you a much better breakfast for E5, great dining (particularly Chateaubriand at Jamon Jamon) and real Spanish hospitality. I guess that for families with children this hotel is okay, but at 300+ Euros a night one would expect a lot more as a couple. The problem is a culture of not caring, and that stems from management down. One exception was Martym, he really cared and was good. If only he was the manager!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Jurys Inn Birmingham; City: Birmingham West Midlands England; Review: The Staybridge suits were booked out so we had to stay at the Jurys Inn. The location is good on broad street but the service is very ordinary and for what it is the cost is very high. The old Telecom building as I understand with very box bedrooms unhelpful staff who have trouble finding your booking and if your have cases they have to be left to fend for themselves as reception is up about eight steps with no ramp. Not very impressed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Peninsular Beachfront Resort; City: Mooloolaba Sunshine Coast Queensland; Review: Situated in the heart of Mooloolaba everything is just outside the door. Overlooking the beach & the Coral sea nice apartments with everything you will need for a great holiday. Must visit the Surf club just over the road for a great meal overlooking the beach.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Villa Samadhi Singapore by Samadhi; City: Singapore; Review: When the taxi driver finally found the hotel, it looked very nice from the outside, we found a staff member & checked in. The room could just get the double bed in but the cases were a problem . There was a cupboard above the fridge but I could not reach the hangers, the room was very sparse .The bathroom was up 3 stone steps with the light behind the door, very dangerous in the night. The room door was secured by a bolt & padlock , just like an old prison & thats how it felt. To get to breakfast you had to climb either 3 flights of stairs, go through a small kitchen more outside stairs & a wooden walk way or walk down the hill round the road & up the hill about 15mins walk, we chose that way as it was easier. Breakfast was the best thing about the place but then that was done by the local tia restaurant .We stayed two nights & that was two too many, the local MRT is about 25 mins walk and you have to go that far to find anything. The power went out on the second morning but they fixed it after about an hour & three trips to reception, which most of the time had no one there. On returning from the shops on the evening the power went out again, they got the power back on but no TV, they said they would fix it in the morning after we left, there were plenty of empty rooms with extra tv's it was a matter of unplugging one & plugging into our room but that was too much trouble . We had to pay extra for a taxi & book the night before because of the remote location, breakfast did not start till 7.30am so we missed that as well. The worst hotel in Singapore and not cheap, & as for the staff when you could find one , they could not care less, terrible; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Pan Pacific Singapore; City: Singapore; Review: We were upgraded on arrival to the 31st floor & a beautiful room with lovely views across Singapore. We found access to the higher floors were via an outside glass lift, as I am a little worried about hight's, I found this a bit of a worry but although I kept close to the lift door, the views and experience was amazing. The staff were lovely and the hotel opens out into a lovely shopping centre, a truely great place to stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SO Sofitel Singapore; City: Singapore; Review: Welcome drink, welcoming friendly staff , they could not do enough for for us. The rooms are very nice , very modern everything controlled by your iPad and everything there you need.The location is ideal for China town and very close to the MRT, so you can get to any part of the island with easy. La Pau Sat is just outside which show cases all the local food. The hotel restaurant not only serves a lovely breakfast but also has great evening meals, try the tuna, it is delicious .; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Einstein Bros. Bagels; City: Reno, NV; Review: I've gone a few times, I've had plain bagel with plain schmear, I've had the bagel dog (YUM!) and my personal favorite, the lox bagel. The bagels are delicious and perfectly chewy, even in the bagel dog. I didn't give it 5 stars because even when I order my lox bagel without onion, they put it on my bagel. That's a big thing for me but not big enough to take more than one star away. The staff is extremely helpful and accommodating about my food allergy, even got me a quick reference nutrition booklet. I can't wait to take my husband!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Magic Carpet Golf; City: Reno, NV; Review: The course wasn't super maintained but not totally run down. The desk staff wasn't all that friendly but they did assure me that they didn't allow smoking. Boy, was that not true! Even after I mentioned it when we were finished, they just shrugged. The course was fun, although it wasn't nearly as fun as Wild Island. I wouldn't go back unless there was nothing better to do.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Haven on Earth; City: Reno, NV; Review: My review is more based on customer care than the food. I visited Haven on Earth today for some sandwich bread for my husband. Being a gluten free newbie I was looking for a little direction to make his transition a bit easier. A little girl greeted me when I walked in and that's where the friendliness ended. Several people looked at me waiting for help but did not offer. Mind you, I was the only customer in the place. I stood there smiling until a woman acknowledged me. I explained what I was looking for and let her know I needed some guidance. She indicated that the only way she could help me was if I would taste the breads. Being that I myself have a SEVERE walnut allergy, I politely declined. She then seemed completely offended that I had declined, even after I explained my fear of cross contamination (there was a pile of walnut studded brownies on the prep area). After telling me a few times that the only way she could help me was if I tasted the bread I ended up leaving empty handed and feeling extremely offended. What I can say was the place sure SMELLED amazing but the customer service is very lacking. I was made to feel awful because of my own dietary constraints. What a shame.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Great Harvest Bread Co; City: Reno, NV; Review: I gave this place 4 stars only because I can only get gluten free bread on Mondays. If they had it on more than one day, it would have been 5 stars. That's pretty much the only "bad". They have a terrific gluten free selection, the daily special breads are delicious and the staff is really nice. I'm in love with the lemon blueberry bread and the sourdough gives me that taste of home I've been missing since we moved to Reno. All in all I absolutely recommend visiting and picking up a sandwich on the daily special bread. You won't be sorry. :-); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Nail Trix by Scott; City: Reno, NV; Review: It's been a few years since I had my nails done but I knew what I wanted. I read the previous reviews and because they are so close to my job, I decided to head on in. I called ahead and they took me in about a half hour later. Rather than the usual "acrylic or gel" I was given a full consultation. Scott looked at my nails, asked questions about my lifestyle, etc and made a recommendation based on all of those factors. We decided on gel. Since I had never had gel done before he explained everything he was doing, step by step, and why he was making the recommendations he was making. The price was a steal for the level of service he provides. Absolutely wonderful, I will not be going anywhere else!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bronx Pizzeria; City: Reno, NV; Review: I love pizza. All kinds of pizza. That being said, I've never had authentic New York pizza so I can't say whether this is it but I can definitely say that since I've been in Reno, it's just about the best pizza I've had. A co-worker recommended them after having had dinner there. We were delighted to find out that they delivered to our business so we ordered up a Bronx Zoo. Holy smokes! First, the pizza was pretty sizeable, there were tons of toppings so I ate a single piece and was very full. I plan on making the trek down with my family so they can enjoy it as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Albita's Mexican Restaurant; City: Reno, NV; Review: I eat here more often than I should, to be honest. This place is just around the corner from my office. My go to is the chicken burrito (and I'm always surprised that I can eat the whole thing) but I've had enchiladas, tacos, etc. Everything has been wonderful! The only bummer is that I can't get lengua but it's not a big deal. I will echo the other reviewers and caution against hitting it right at lunchtime because there WILL be a line, although it goes quickly. The owners are just about the nicest people you'll ever meet, even when the place is filled to the rafters. Go get a burrito. You won't regret it!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | yelp |
