Title: Bakersfield; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Bakersfield is one of our favorite spots in town. The best atmosphere and margs to be found in Indy. The staff are attentive and helpful. Ben always goes above and beyond our expectations. Keep being badass.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Flatwater Restaurant; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: I'm at Flatwater at least every week. Every meal is prepared fresh, and servers know my order by heart. Best tacos in the city, and staff to boot. We love Flatwater & are thrilled it's a part of our neighborhood!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Fogo always provides us with an enjoyable experience and great food. Their staff & management are very attentive. Always making sure everyone's needs are met. We frequent this restaurant at least once every 2-3 months and can only say positive things. House Special and Bacon Wrapped Chicken are some of our top faves. Thanks for always providing excellent service Fogo de chao!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Harry And Izzy's; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Typically I do not post poor reviews. Our service at Harry & Izzy's this last visit left plenty to be desired. Our server somehow ended up serving my husband a beer (twice) that he never ordered. Took more than 25 minutes to finally take our dinner order... Too busy playing on his iPhone at the table next to us showing them photos, etc. The restaurant is also playing Christmas music (Baby It's Cold Outside) in the background as I am sitting here typing this review?! I heard several servers as we were waiting at the bar mutter complaints under their breath as they passed us by - "oh my god", "I cannot go back to table 26", etc. This kind of mood instantly made me uncomfortable and we do not plan on returning.. Shocking considering the pricing and type of atmosphere they project as a brand... This is the type of behavior I would expect at a poor performing TGIFridays.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Benihana; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: Made a reservation for 8pm in order to catch a movie next door at 10. Were not seated until 8:45 and were the only people left waiting for a table. Front staff seemed in great distress and disorganized. Were not entirely helpful in communicating that things were running behind or what the issue was. We finally approached to see what might be the issues and were told we were welcome to sit in the lounge? I make reservations to sit at the hibachi... Not lounge. Unfortunately this is not the first time the front of Benihana has given me this impression. I'm not sure if it isn't properly managed or what might be going on there. Food is good which is why it's unfortunate I'm now left feeling this way. I'm from Atlanta originally and that location in my opinion is far superior and fits the Benihana brand more accurately. Has more of an upscale vibe and is definitely ranking higher in cleanliness and professionalism. Corporate should probably pay a visit to check on things and get it back up to brand. I would like to point out that the ratings speak for themselves.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Revolucion; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: It's great food... But, we always always always wait forever for service. They definitely need to hire more servers. After sitting at our table tonight for 50 minutes without waitstaff coming by to get drink orders or bus the table... We moved to the bar and as always had good service with the bartender. He is excellent. Felt bad for waitstaff being so severely understaffed for a holiday like Cinco de Mayo. Kind of a no-brainier. Two servers for inside and one bartender is just not enough.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Broad Ripple Fit Club; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: The best gym and culture in Indy. Coaches are knowledgeable, motivating and challenging. Concerned for each member as a human being and treat us as family. Lots of love for my gym family and it's become a huge part of my life when it never was before!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: San Juan Marriott Resort Stellaris Casino; City: San Juan Puerto Rico; Review: We stayed at this hotel for one night prior to a cruise. We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel and the price was $15 plus $1 a bag. Upon arrival we were greeted cheerfully by the doorman who took our bags and we then proceeded to check in. Check in was fast and friendly. Due to it being New Years Day, there were a lot of late check outs but we were still able to get out room. We had requested a high floor our room and we were given what we requested. Having booked online through Priceline.com, we had expected to receive a city view but were pleasantly surprised to receive an ocean view room for no extra charge. The room was of normal size for a Marriott and the bedding as comfortable as always. The large balcony was a huge plus and we enjoyed our dinner on it as we listened to the waves crash on the beach below. We could hear the band that was playing by the pool area but it was not so loud that it distrubed us in any way. We had made a number of requests of staff members and they were always pleasant and very helpful. The only negative that I can say is that the hotel still charges for local calls at $1.50 per call. I do a lot of travel for work and cannot remember the last time I was charged for local calls. But I would not let this one little item deter me from staying at this hotel again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Radisson Hotel Toronto East; City: Toronto Ontario; Review: I stayed here for one night while on business. I would discribe this hotel as being very average. The hall ways and common areas are showing there age and could use a little updating. The room itself was ok but you can see where the room had renos done over time but not at the same time. As you can see from the mixed reviews here, I cannot recommend or discount this hotel. If you do decide to stay here, just do not go in with high expectations and you will not be disappointed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Windmill Ridge; City: Alamo Nevada; Review: A friend, my wife and I stayed at the Windmill Ridge while doing some geocaching in the again. The quality of the cabin was more than we expected and the beds were very comfortable. Also, the food at the resturant was fantasic and the serving sizes were very generous. If you have a sweet tooth, then you will surely love the bakery on site. I highly recommend staying here if you need a place to stay in the area.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Regency Toronto; City: Toronto Ontario; Review: Spent two nights here while on business. This hotel was a conversion from a Holiday Day Inn I believe. It is most definitely not a Holiday Inn now. This hotel is very modern and is beftting the Hyatt name plate. The beds were very comfortable and bedding super nice. The bathroom is well appointed and modern. I was suprised to read in some of the reviews that this hotel had bed bugs, but I have heard about this problem in other high end hotels in the Toronto area. My room was very clean and the room attendants did an excellent job in cleaning my room each day. Internet access is on par with other hotels a 14.95 a day and the speed was very fast, though my Apple lap did have a little issue with connecting the first day. I would stay here again without a doubt.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Executive Hotel Vancouver Airport; City: Richmond British Columbia; Review: I guess this hotel has two sections. Upon checking in I was advised that I was upgraded to a jacuzzi room. I first that this was something special. Upon entering the room, I came to realize not so. The room was dated and the jacuzzi certainly had seen its better days. I had to wait for an hour and fifteen minutes for the shuttle at the airport to take me to the hotel and the ride to the hotel was a little interesting. The driving was counting his tips as he was driving and wrtitting notes on a clipboard as well. Illegal to talk on a cell phone but ok to write while driving. This hotel served its purpose for a short stay, but I would not want to stay here for an extended stay, at least not in the old part of the hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Fairmont Le Chateau Montebello; City: Montebello Outaouais Region Quebec; Review: We stayed here for one evening prior to doing a White Water Rafting trip down the Rouge River. For a property of this age, it is remarkable how they have kept the old charm with modern upgrades. The rooms are well appointed and very clean. The grounds surrounding the hotel are very well kept and make for a relaxing stay. We enjoyed a fantastic meal in the dining. There were four of us in a group and not one us ordered the same item. There was fish, chicken and beef that were all served to perfection. The waiter made a very recommendation for wine that went with the meals we were eating. The only item that did not live up to expectations was dessert. We all found the desserts to be very dry and lacked flavour. This was disappointing considering the meal we had. It was almost as if the desserts were frozen for a long period of time. One of our group said it almost tasted like Costco desserts. We did not have breakfast here as we decided to get something quick en route to the white water rafting. What a mistake that was. The place we stopped at took 50 minutes to serve a basic breakfast. I am sorry I did not get the name of the place but if you are traveliing east towards the Hawesbury bridge it will be on the right. You pay for your food at the counter and you serve yourself coffee. DO NOT stop here to eat. Once they have your money they do not care how long it takes to serve you and will not refund your money.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pier Sixty Six Hotel Marina; City: Fort Lauderdale Broward County Florida; Review: We stayed here prior to going on a cruise. Though the exterior of this hotel looks old, do not let that fool you. The rooms and interior of the building are modern and updated. The grounds are extremely well cared for a great place for a stroll. The pools and hot tubs are first class. Free wi-fi is a bonus. The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. I would most certainly recommend this hotel to anyone.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cairns Motel; City: Summerside Prince Edward Island; Review: We stayed here while on a cross island cycling trip. At the end of the long day we had peddling this Motel was the answer for a good nights rest. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was spotlessly clean and modern. After the long day we had, laying on the beds was like laying on a cloud. They are super comfortable and had it not been that our bellies were making a lot of noise for food, we would have fallen alseep very quickly. The also had a fridge and microwave which helped in the moring for a quick breakfast. I would stay here again and have already recommended the Motel to friends and family.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cable Head B B Efficiency Suites; City: Saint Peters Bay Prince Edward Island; Review: We stayed here during our bike ride across PEI. I had booked this B&B thinking it was right on the Confederation Trail but it was a short up hill ride. It was a good mistake as we found the 2 bedroom unit an ideal place to stay at the end of a long day on the bike. You could certainly stay here for an extended period of time. The owners locked up our bikes in their garage and Doug, (one of the owners) seems to be well prepared for bikers if they have issues with their bikes. There are out door BBQs and picnic table but unfortuantely due to weather, we did not have the pleasure to use. The rooms are well appointed,clean and the beds comfortable. Breakfast in the morning is hot and well prepared. Apparently the Blueberry Scones are to die for (according to my wife), but as I do not like blueberries I did not try.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tranquil Woods Victorian Inn; City: Huntsville Muskoka District Ontario; Review: My wife and I stayed here during the Ironman Muskoka. From the moment we made first contact with Judy to make a reservation, we felt at ease and welcomed. When we arrived, we were greeted with a cheery hello and a big smile from Judy. The home is absolutely beautiful and very well cared for from top to bottom. You are free to use all areas inside and out. The beds are very comfortable and extremely clean. I cannot add more than what was already said in other reviews other than the plaque that is located at the top of the stairs is a true statement. (see attached picture) We will be returning either for a weekend get away or for the Ironman again next year (hopefully as an athlete).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Genesee Grande Hotel; City: Syracuse Finger Lakes New York; Review: We stayed here while en route to NYC. This is an older hotel that has seen renos over the years. Even with the renos, the hotel has been able to retain its' charm. We were greeted by the front desk staff with a smile and very good service. The rooms are of good size and are kept very clean. The bed are very comfortable and the bedding of high quality. The bar is a great place to go for a relaxing drink. They have a very good wine and beer list and I am sure that there is something there for everyone. I would most certainly stay at this hotel again and recommend to others.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn by Hilton North Bay; City: North Bay Northeastern Ontario Ontario; Review: I stayed with my wife who was in North Bay working course for a medical association. We were surprised when we arrived that there was only one vehicle in the parking lot and thought could this be a sign of things to come? Not at all. This was hotel met or exceeded our expectations. The only issue we had was that we were not able to check in to our room until almost 3 o'clock. We were greeted by the front desk staff with a warm smile and a number of helpful tips for the area. The large bowl of fresh fruit and the pots of coffee in the lobby are certainly a nice touch and we made more use of it than we thought. The common areas are extemely clean, bright and tastefully decorated. There is a small gym and a small pool (Do not expect to swim long laps, great for kids. A hot tub would be a nice feature.) that will meet your basic needs. The rooms are very large and the bathrooms are well appointed. The rooms are kept very clean and the beds and bedding are of very high quality. The free wifi works well in all areas of the hotels. The free breakfast was much better than I thought it would be. The waffles, well you will just have to try yourself but you will not be disappointed. Each morning there was a very good selection of fruit, cereal, pastries and yogurt. It would have been so easy to have the same hot items each morning but each morning there was something different (scrambled eggs, omletts, bacon, back bacon, sausage links, sausage patties, beans, potatoes were some of the selections we had during our stay). I will say that the quality of the fruit was by far the best I have come across during my stays at hotels that offer a free breakfast. Also, the staff that work the breakfast area where friendly and were quick to respond to any requests that we had. There are a number of places to eat within a short walking distance of the hotel and with your room key, you get a 15% at a few of the local eateries. (Staff will let you know which ones) That staff throughout the whole hotel were friendly, we were greeted with a smile and a hi everytime we passed a staff member. The only thing missing from this hotel is a lounge/bar to have a relaxing drink at the end of the day. I have stayed at similar hotels in the U.S where they had a managers evening wine happy hour from 5 to 7. I wonder if it has ever been considered to have something similar like this at this hotel, but to feature some of the great micro brewed beers. Just a thought. I will certainly recommend and stay at this hotel in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chelsea Hotel Toronto; City: Toronto Ontario; Review: I stayed here for one night for an interview. The main lobby is busy but well appointed. Check in was fast and friendly. This is a big hotel so there are a number of elevator areas so be sure to listen to where you have to go once you check in. The room was standard size and typical of most business hotels. I was surprised to find the tv was an old model CRT. The room was a little worn and dated. The bed and bedding were of good quality. The bathroom was ok but I am not sure when this hotel was built but I found the shower head to be very low. I understand that there are renos on going and this must have been one of the rooms that has not yet seen any updates yet. The hall way on the floor I stayed on certainly has seen better days as the carpet was well worn and dirty. The walls were dirty and I was surprised with the amount of damage, especailly near the elevator. There are a number of places to eat and drink either in or near the hotel and the prices are not that much different.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Blue Heron Beach Resort; City: Orlando Florida; Review: We stayed here during the Disney Marathon weekend. The condo is well appointed for your stay and has an excellent layout. The furniture in the living area is very comfortable and the dining room tables allows for six people to sit comfortablely. The beds and bedding were very good and we all had very comfortable nights sleep. The bathrooms are big, clean and appointed with the basics that are required for your stay. We made good use of the kitchen to prepare our meals. I wish that some of the condos that I show for my work had a kitchen as nice as this one. This condo unit 2-2007 had two very large balconies with one over looking Lake Bryan and we saw a number of beautiful sunrises. The other balcony it located at the front of the building over looking a mini golf course and the main road through the area. You maybe startled when the volcano erupts at the mini golf course, but it is fun to watch others reactions. Also, from this balcony you can view the DIsney nightly fire work, though you only get to see the fireworks that go up high. There will be long periods where you do not see anything so do not leave early. We made use of the pool and gym during our stay and found it to meet or exceed our needs. There is a bar at the pool so a nice place for a relaxing drink. There are a number of places to eat, shop and buy groceries within walking distance of the complex. The property is located near all the major attractions and getting there by car is quick and easy. The one thing that did disappoint us was the little balcony furniture that this property has. With such big beautiful balconies, it would have been nice to have more and more comfortable patio seating. This did not take away from our stay and we would certainly return again without hesitation. Oh and the wifi is pretty good considering how many people use it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wingate by Wyndham Orlando International Airport; City: Orlando Florida; Review: Spent one night here prior to going to my vacation rental condo. We were greeted at the front desk clerk with a smile, even after the clerk had just dealt with two very rude and ingnorant people. We were provide with information on what the hotel had to offer including the breakfast time and location. The room was very clean and up to date with a flat screen tv. The bed and bedding were of excellent quality and provided for a very comfortable nights sleep. The bathroom was very clean and well appointed with all the items we needed for out stay. The shower pressure was not the most forceful but I have noticed that in almost all of the places I have stayed while in Florida. All the common areas were clean and the staff very cheery and helpful. The breakfast is very good and as always the waffles are the best. Some may find the sausage patties a little spicey if they are from the north. There is an excellent selection of items to choose from for breakfast both hot and cold. Though this hotel is located near the Orlando airport, we hardly noticed any aircraft landing or taking off. I would certainly stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Marriott Downtown at CF Toronto Eaton Centre; City: Toronto Ontario; Review: Stayed here for two nights to attend Les Miserable. Front desk staff were friendly and efficient though spent too much time explaining the obvious. I wish they had told us about the fireworks that were going to be happening on November 30th as it would have been great to take. We could here them but not see from our room. The room and bedding were the normal for Marriott though I was disappointed with the cleanliness of the room. There was dust on the desk and little pieces of paper on the floor. The tub in the bathroom could certainly use a deep cleaning as it looks like there was some ground in dirt. The out of the room could have been better as the head of the bed was perpendicular to the room door. I could easily hear people talking in the hall or the house keeping cart going by. Had the put the head of the bed on the opposite wall behind the bulkhead/bathroom wall, then I doubt that hallway noise would have been an issue. The location of the hotel is certainly the best feature given that it is attached to the shopping centre and the subway line. I would return again if only for the location and hope that the hotel improves from a high 3star to a true 4star.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Royal Brock Hotel; City: Guelph Ontario; Review: I stayed here for three nights while taking a course at a local college. I was greeted quickly by friendly front desk staff. They provided information about the hotel and local area. My room was a standard Best Western room with a queen bed, lcd tv and fridge. The bedding was fresh, clean and very high quality. The bed itself was a little firm for my liking though. The bathroom had been updated in the last few years though it did show some wear and tear. It was kept extremely clean during my stay. The room did have a balcony which was an unexpected feature. It is unfortunate that the balcony did not have any chairs to sit on as the weather was so nice during my stay. The hotel provided a complimentary breakfast each morning which comprised of at least three hot items along with cereal, yogurt, pastries, bagels, breads, juices and fruit. During my stay, there seemed to be a few young ladies sports teams staying at the hotel and boy could they eat. Some of the hot items went quickly as well as the cereal. The stay did a good job trying to keep up with the demand. The only negative was that the furniture in the breakfast area has seen better days. The pool area was very nice and well kept. There a number of resturants within a very short walk from the hotel. I would certainly stay again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ramada by Wyndham Trenton; City: Trenton Quinte West Ontario; Review: I stayed here one night while on my way back to Ottawa. The location is excellent for a quick off, quick on to the 401. Upon entering the hotel, we were greeted by very friendly hotel staff. Check in was quick. We went to our room only to find that the bed was a queen size. Unfortunately my wife and I are both sprawlers in bed. We made a call to the front desk to see if they had a room with a king or two doubles. The front desk said no problem and we were given a room with two double beds. The room was very clean and well appointed. The beds and bedding were of good quality and comfortable. The room seems to have under gone updating in the last few years so it looks very nice. The bathroom was very clean with quality towels. We had the free breakfast in the morning. There was some choice though it might have been nice to have a better selection of cereal as the only choice to have was Fruit Loops or All Bran. The waffles were very good. Bananas would have also been nice to have. The wi-fi was fast and stable. We did not use the pool but it certainly looked like a nice one and many people were enjoying it during our stay. I would stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Delta Hotels by Marriott Toronto Airport Conference Centre; City: Toronto Ontario; Review: My wife and I stayed for one night while attending a trade show near by. Like most hotels near international airports, you will hear aircraft landing and departing but the noise level is not very load. This hotel is very modern from the lobby right up to the rooms. We encountered a number of hotel staff during our stay at the Delta. Without fail, we were always greeted with a cheery hello and a friendly smile. The room we had was well appointed with modern features that you would come to expect from a hotel of this star level. The bed was very comfortable for the both of us, especially since I like my bed to be on the soft side and my wife on the firmer side. The bedding was clean and fresh as were the towels in the bathroom. The lounge, Lot 41, on the lobby is a very nice place to relax for a lite meal, snack or relaxing in one of the large comfy couches. We ordered and shared a hamburger and a beef brisket sandwich that came with a nice portion size of their twisty tots. Both the burger and brisket were cooked to perfection and extremely tasty. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel whether you are over nighting before a flight or attending conference at one of the near by convention centres.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Ok: The Corral The Earps And Doc Holliday A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Paul West Page; Review: According to the fly-leaf, the Chicago Tribune considers Mr. West "possibly our finest living stylist in English." Well, that may be but buddy he was way out of his genre with this book. The only reason I struggled through the entire book is that I finish what I start. Verbose, convuluted, complex and dry are some of the words I can muster up to describe this book. Reading one of the Greek tragedies that West continually refered to would be easier than getting through this horrid work of historical fiction. West is a second-rate Faukner. At least Faukner lived in Mississippi. I got money that says West has never even BEEN to Arizona. I will say that this book had a LOT in common with Doc Holliday. Reading it was about as much fun as going to a dentist -- and did you about as much good as a dentist with a consumptive cough and a shaky hand. Bottom Line: Don't waste your time.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: For Your Eyes Only; Author: Visit Amazon's Ben Macintyre Page; Review: Don't even bother picking this book up. It is a waste of paper. The author attempts to draw parallels between the life of the "real" Ian Fleming and James Bond. Their ain't any.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Cold Noses At The Pearly Gates: A Book of Hope for Those Who Have Lost a Pet; Author: Visit Amazon's Gary Kurz Page; Review: If you have lost a key member of your family recently then you MUST have this book. I don't care if you are 10 years old or 70 years old, the death of your beloved pet is a major life event and needs to be treated that way. For many, heaven will not be heaven if your buddy is not there to greet you. This book really helps during the hard times.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Keeper of the Keys; Author: Visit Amazon's Earl Derr Biggers Page; Review: This is a must have for Charlie Chan fans. This book was in much better condition than I expected. Shipping was quick and item well packaged. Charlie at his finest.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Behind That Curtain (Charlie Chan); Author: Visit Amazon's Earl Derr Biggers Page; Review: A must have item for the Charlie Chan fan. Biggers only wrote five Charlie Chan novels. This was not a first edition but it's really old and in really good shape for its age. I am very pleased with the product and the service. Thanks; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Charlie Chan Carries on; Author: Visit Amazon's Earl Derr Biggers Page; Review: A must have for Charlie Chan fans. You need to get one while they are still in relatively good shape. This was an original and in much better condition than even advertised. Fast shipment. Good packing. Thanks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: House Without a Key; Author: Visit Amazon's Earl Derr Biggers Page; Review: Fast shipment. Well packed. In better condition than I expected. I could not be more pleased. Not a first edition but an old book and a good one. If you like Charlie Chan you must have this book to complete your collection.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Discover Your Sweet Spot: The 7 Steps to Create a Life of Success and Significance; Author: Visit Amazon's Scott M. Fay Page; Review: Very well written book with lots of good, solid advice for the new person wanting to go into business or start their own. Not your normal "steps to success" book. Really worth the time and investment.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The 5 Love Languages Military Edition: The Secret to Love That Lasts; Author: Gary D. Chapman; Review: This is a truly eye-opening book. It gave me insights to my marriage of 46 years that I did not have. I gave the book 4 stars, my wife would have given it 10 stars were she reviewing it. My only concern/belief is that Dr. Chapman oversimplifies the mystery of "LOVE." It's deeper than just finding out what button to push to satisfy your spouse. Love and marriage MUST be deeper than that. It has to be. But I will have to admit that it did open my eyes. Buy the book. It is an easy read that you will read over and over. It will help your marriage.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tours of Duty: Vietnam War Stories (Stackpole Military History Series); Author: Michael Lee Lanning; Review: A truly great collection of stories superbly edited. Some sad, some funny, all true - give or take a lie or two. These stories are written by real Soldiers; some are well written, some are not but they reflect a war that America would just as soon forget. This is the first book of LTC Lanning's that I have read. I am going to purchase others.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Power of Being Thankful: 365 Devotions for Discovering the Strength of Gratitude; Author: Visit Amazon's Joyce Meyer Page; Review: An excellent morning devotional that focuses on being thankful for God's small blessings. My wife and I enjoy reading it every morning to start our day.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lonesome Dove; Author: Visit Amazon's Larry McMurtry Page; Review: What can you say about a First Edition of Lonesome Dove?? This is a treasure. Without a doubt, the greatest western novel ever written. The other books in the series should be burned before reading but McMurtry hit gold with this one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Junction Boys: How 10 Days in Hell with Bear Bryant Forged a Champion Team; Author: Visit Amazon's Jim Dent Page; Review: If your an Aggie, this is a must read. There was only one Bear.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The One Year Love Language Minute Devotional (One Year Signature Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Gary Chapman Page; Review: Strongly recommend this book for couples. Wish I would have read it 30 years ago. Some of Chapman's advice is over simplistic and it all has a religious base. But for Christian couples this book can't be beat.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 101 Uses for a Bulldog; Author: Visit Amazon's Willow Creek Press Page; Review: Wonderful little book for Bulldog lovers. Our Bulldog died last week. This book was a real comfort. Made us laugh.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Dog's Guide to Humans (Fun Reads for Dog Lovers) (Volume 1); Author: Karen Davison; Review: If you are a dog lover this is one of the best and funniest books you will ever read about dogs. You will die laughing. Ms. Davison hit the nail on the head.,; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Complete Ketogenic Diet for Beginners: Your Essential Guide to Living the Keto Lifestyle; Author: Visit Amazon's Amy Ramos Page; Review: Really like this book. Great for beginners to see if they want to really invest the time, money, motivation to REALLY pursue a Ketogenic diet. Like most other reviewers I would have liked to have seen pictures, but pictures are expensive to print and this book didn't cost a heck of a lot. So I'm satisfied.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: The Loralei B B; City: Brooklyn New York; Review: We stayed at Loralei in september 2008. The place is really good. Everything is clean, the breakfast is great and Robert is a very welcoming homeowner. Each bedroom has a separate bathroom. The only negative point, to me, is the distance to Manhattan and the fact that Brooklyn has nothing special to exhibit... on the other hand such a B&B in Manhattan would probably cost twice the price so... Overall, the experience was really good and I would recommend the place !! Excellent value for money.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Persal; City: Madrid; Review: I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. Breakfast is OK, rooms are clean (though small), localisation is excellent (in a no-car area), people are helpful... I would certainly recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hostal Sierpes; City: Seville Province of Seville Andalucia; Review: The hostel is well located in the center of Sevilla. I believe we paid 35 euros per person begin of june. It is simple, clean and quite.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Porto Katsiki Studios; City: Lefkada Ionian Islands; Review: I stayed in Porto Katsiki guest houses for 5 days end june 2011. It is located in Athani which is according to me the best place to stay in Lefkada because Lefkada is mainly interesting for its beaches and Athani is the closest village to the best beaches (Egremni, Gialos and Porto katsiki). Athani is also 40 minutes drive to Vassiliki harbour so not far if you want to get to Kefalonia (less beautiful than Lefkada). The room is simple but has everything it needs to have. In june, for 40 euros per night, you can get a room for 2 persons with balcony. Porto Katsiki guest houses is a group of 9 rooms (2 have a great view on the sea). Between the different "villas", nice flowers and vegetals are planted and birds live in the small trees which gives a wonderful feeling of nature. Athani village is at 5 minutes walk from the appartments and has a few taverns and 2 mini markets. I definitely recommend !!! [url]/; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casa da Carmen e do Fernando; City: Rio de Janeiro State of Rio de Janeiro; Review: I stayed in June for a week during the world cup. Of course prices were up but so did all the prices in Rio at this time. I had a single room. The room was obviously very small, I didn't have room enough for all my stuff, although I didn't have a lot. The neigborhood is quiet and the view from the balcony is really nice. People were charming and very helpful. Breakfast was OK, nice fruit juice. All in all : nice location off the noisy center, close to metro station, nice view, nice people, little room. I liked it and will keep a good remembering of my stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pousada Acacia da Barra; City: Salvador State of Bahia; Review: The room was large enough with private bathroom. People were friendly. Breakfast really nice. Location is close to the beach, rather good I believe. Negative is the fact that we have to pay cash. It's annoying because withdrawals at bank are limited so I had to use almost 2 days of full withdrawals to pay a 4 nights stay. All in all, I enjoyed the place and recommend it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cabinas Coconut Grove; City: Puerto Viejo de Talamanca Province of Limon; Review: I stayed there for 2 weeks in June 2014 when I was volunteering at the Jaguar Rescue Center. The room is clean, equiped with a fan and mosquito net. Room is cleaned every day and you get new towels. There is often somebody available in case you need anything although this is no 24/7 hotel. The B&B stands at 10 meters from the main road, close to the end of Puerto Viejo. Noise is OK (I was there in low season).; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Guest 607; City: Sao Paulo State of Sao Paulo; Review: I stayed 4 nights in june during world cup. The hotel has nice decoration and is pretty modern. Breakfast was good, the terrace at the front is nice to have. Location is good but sp is really big so you would often need a taxi anyway. I didn't really enjoy my stay. Staff was helpful on demand but limited. If i didn't explicitely ask, they would'nt come with a nice advice or story about the city. So i had the feeling i had to push for infos. The room was cold which is strange when there is 26 degrees during the day. I asked for a winter blanket because first night i woke up because i was cold. 2 days in a row, there was a missing blanket on the bed. There is a 24 hours reception so it's easy to get those things solved, but still. Overall, i rank it a bit above average but not much more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bantayan Island Nature Park and Resort; City: Bantayan Island Cebu Island Visayas; Review: Very nice place with big pool, sea view and nice rooms. They have a fish spa (fishes cleaning your feet) and a few animals. This part could be improved to improve the space for the animals (better shade for the horses, bigger place for the birds). Also, on the dining tables, there are some glasses filled up with water where small fishes live like in a mini aquarium (big like a glass of water...). This is terrible and ridiculous !! Please stop doing that !!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Napo Beach Resort; City: Biliran Island Visayas; Review: I stayed 4 nights at Napo Beach Resort and have mixed feelings. Pros : - Maripipi is a nice small island, beautiful and green - the resort is a nice place, next to the ocean - snorkeling is really good (on the right side) - the food is tasty (quantities should be increased though) - a lot of birds flying around on the property Cons : - i was awaken different times early in the morning. Sometimes by the staff talking sometimes by clients who were sleeping in the restaurant area (is that normal ?)... and were talking and laughing at 4AM. Then they had their breakfast around 5:30am and were making even more noise. My little hut was just next to the restaurant. Because the restaurant is so close to the sleeping rooms, the staff has to give extra care to noise control. - I agreed to rent a scooter for 300 pesos to visit the island. When I came back at noon to have lunch, I still wanted to use it in the afternoon for snorkeling on another spot, away from the resort. But then I was told that the scooter is just for going around the island, an estimated 2h trip. So I had to give the keys back at noon. It's the only place on earth where you rent a scooter for 2h and the only place where the rentor tells the client where he's gonna go and how long it is gonna take. If you like a beach on the island and want to enjoy it there for a few hours, you cannot because you have to give the scooter back. That makes absolutely no sense. This made it very unpleasant and made that scooter the most expensive scooter rental of the Philippines. - there is possibility to dive there but the dive center (not linked to the resort) charges 2.500 pesos for one dive. Again, the most expensive I've seen in all the Philippines.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Roomba Inn Suites; City: Daytona Beach Florida; Review: We stumbled upon this Inn when we were looking for a good price for a quick weekend trip. I live in Florida, and have never stayed in a place where you can literally walk out the back door of your room and be within a few feet of the beach. We had a convenient little bistro set outside the door, lounge chairs on the grass overlooking the ocean, a pool within a few feet, a small playground, and beach access 20 ft away! If your looking for a "5" star hotel, forget it, this is however a 10 star inn! This is a popular beach so expect some nightime noise, but the rooms are very clean (small, but who cares? your at the beach right?). I'm already looking forward to the next time I can have an excuse to go back. Oh, and the staff was 10 star too, can't forget them. Thank you to the sweet front desk manager!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Roomba Inn Suites Orlando; City: Kissimmee Florida; Review: I unfortunately got stuck in this place after buying a vacation package that was offered to me after my great review for the Roomba in Daytona. Check in took forever (room was prepaid, how hard is that?). I was supposed to get a suite and got a reg room behind the bar. Housekeeping came early and I asked them to come back in an hour, they never did. Only one out of all the vending machines worked and my son actually vomited all over the bathroom floor after eating a bag of cheese curls from it. I wiped the floor but left a note and tip asking housekeeping to mop the floor. Needless to say they didnt. On my last morning I discovered tiny bugs in the bathroom... just what I needed, right?!@# Stay away from this hole!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Kingsland GA; City: Kingsland Georgia; Review: I happened upon this hotel while traveling from Myrtle Beach home to central FL. My autistic son couldn't complete the trip so I found this newly renovated hotel. Very clean, pleasant owners, even met the gentleman who painted the entire hotel (very nice job) and does all the maintenance plus helps his wife with housekeeping. Check out my reviews on the great local food places we found too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Harborside Suites at Little Harbor; City: Ruskin Florida; Review: I booked this suite through a third party site and had a hiccup in the confirmation. Not Harborside's fault but the third party had not sent the booking 2 months prior. The staff were very understanding and quickly helped me get things straightened out, even in the midst of numerous new arrivals. In the flurry of things I did not get their names but the young man and woman were excellent representatives for Harborside. Now the room... we had a one bedroom suite with kitchen. It has everything you could need. From a toaster to a dishwasher, even an in room washer and dryer! I realized that a number of these rooms were timeshares so I did not expect daily housekeeping and supplies. In fact I went and purchased a few items to use through the week. I was blown away by the fact that they came daily, everyday, to straighten, tidy and provide fresh linens. For a rental like this, that is not a norm and shows the dedication to customer service. I look forward to a time in the near future when I can come back for longer. It is so peaceful and quiet. Private beach with volleyball, multiple pools can be accessed, shuffle board, basketball, etc. Restaurants on site, and so much more! A+++; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyde Park Hotel; City: Tampa Florida; Review: I don't even know what to say. Be warned, this is a 21 and over only hotel. If you booked through a travel site, your screwed because its not disclosed beforehand. My poor 12 yr old ASD son will NEVER forget this 3 hr period, for all the wrong reasons. Yes, 3 hrs... thats how long it took between checkin in and seeing the reality of this dirty, tiny, hole in the wall place and getting into a real hotel with a chargeback to this craphole. My American Express card rep could not believe it when I told her the room didn't even have a dresser or drawers, unless you count the line of armoires with locks in the hall. Because everyone wants to walk into the hall of a hotel to get your clothes everyday. Oh, forget the down comforters, memory foam bed with premium bedding. Or climate controlled air conditioning for that matter, as it's a locked temp control. BTW, and I hope you didn't expecta clean room when your stuck stacking your clothes on the floor... smh; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Bell Pit Boss Open-Face Motorcycle Helmet (Solid Black, Large); Brand: Bell; Review: It's pretty much perfect. It weighs a good 2-3 pounds less than my other helmet and that makes it a pleasure to wear on a long ride. The flip down visor/sunshade is a nice feature, but the best thing is that the fit is adjustable. That's a rare feature on a helmet and a much appreciated one by me. I bought the L/XL and the adjustment feature let me dial in a perfect fit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ZAN headgear Paisley Neodanna,; Brand: Zanheadgear; Review: It doesn't block dust, certainly it doesn't help in rain or mist and all it really seems to do is flap around while riding my bike. Wish I hadn't bought it. Did I mention that a lot of BS gang members wear one now, so you look like you're from the "hood" and should be flashing gang signs. Oh year, don't wear one anywhere near a gas station because they'll think you're there to rob the place and shoot you while calling the cops to come and pick up your body.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Pacific Coast Airfoil Goggles (Chrome Frame/Silver Mirror Lens); Brand: Pacific Coast; Review: The fit is very good, they're quite comfortable to wear and they allow excellent vision. The vents on the side clear out any fog as soon as you start to move. My only mild complaint is that the adjusting buckle on the right side sits right on the inside of my ear, but it's not much of a bother and it's there just because tof the size of my head.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: RAVPower Car Jump Starter 14000mAh 550A Peak 12V (up to 5L Gas, 3L Diesel; Brand: RAVPower; Review: Updated review: Since my initial review below I was contacted by the manufacturer and they graciously replaced the unit at no charge even though I had already returned the original unit to Amazon for credit. After my experience with the first unit I was skeptical and a little wary of the clips. However, after charging the unit up I connected it to the battery on the motorcycle, the clips did no come apart this time, turned it on the bike started right up. I haven't used it since, but if it continues to work like this then I would recommend it. Also, unlike other reviewers, customer service was excellent for me as referenced above. I bought this to carry on my motorcycle for jump starts if needed. The specs are right on and the unit comes in nicely packaged in its own carrying case. So, I charged it up and took it to the garage to start the bike, which hadn't been started in several months and was dead, so far so good. I connected the terminals to the charger and prepared to connect the cables to the battery. I got the negative cable connected by when I tried to connect the positive the clamp snapped and came apart and the spring flew and hit me in the forehead. After recovering from the shock, I inspected the clamp and found that the hinge is thin plastic and one side had snapped off, which made the whole thing come apart and the spring fly out. There was no way to repair it, so I returned it to Amazon.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tough Headwear Balaclava - Windproof Ski Mask - Cold Weather Face Mask for Skiing, Snowboarding, Motorcycling & Winter; Brand: Tough Headwear; Review: I use it as wind protection when riding my motorcycle and it works well for that purpose. It doesn't make my goggles or glasses fog too much and when they do they seem to clear quickly. It's well made and looks like it will last awhile. My only quibble is that it seems to run a little bit large and I've got a big face and neck; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Automotive |

Title: Hello Kitty Silver Tone Crystal Hoop Earrings with Pink Flower; Brand: Sojo Sales; Review: Considering these earring were only $10, they're great. I had to replace the large ear wires with fish hook sterling silver ones, so it's easier for my 6-year old to put it in her ears. One of the little pink jewels fell out so I had to glue it back on. Now the earrings are perfect.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crocodile Creek Horse Backpack; Brand: Crocodile Creek; Review: This back pack is so cute, my daughter loves it. It is made of a sturdy material, not the cheap stuff the character back packs are made of. It is a bit smaller but it fits perfectly on my daughters back. It is perfect for a young child, elementary school level.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: High Sierra Swerve Backpack, Bejeweled/Purple Razz/Black, 19 x 13 x 7.75-Inch; Brand: High Sierra; Review: Oh I love this backpack. It had a ton of pockets, which is a good thing, because I found place for everything, and bad because I had to open several pockets to find what I was looking for. It worked perfect as a carry-on on the plane, I fit everything in it that I needed. It is made of durable material, strong zippers, and the fabric is so pretty. Totally a girl's backpack.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Rubies Star Wars Clone Wars Child's Captain Rex Costume, Small; Brand: Rubie's; Review: This is such a well made costume. I got it for my son for his birthday and he loves it.

So I removed all the bumpers, scraped off all the glue, and used E6000 glue to reattach them. Problem solved.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

It is very thin, but it is quite warm. I wore it in 21F temperature with only two thin (jersey knit) layers under it, and I was comfortable. If you're planning to wear it in freezing temperatures, with a sweatshirt or thicker sweater under it, make sure to get a bigger size.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Disney s All Star Music Resort; City: Orlando Florida; Review: This was our first time staying at a Disney 'Value' resort. We had always stayed at 'Moderate' resorts in the past, but this time around we really wanted to stick to a tighter budget, mainly so that we could stay longer. From past experience, we knew we would be spending very little time in our hotel room anyway, so we decided to try this one out. It was better than expected! It is definitely a no-frills location, but it still had all we needed. The food court has a very good selection. Our room was clean. All staff members were helpful and friendly. No extreme waits at the bus stop. All-in-all, a good experience, and I would stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites; City: Boone North Carolina; Review: First off, let me state that I've stayed here a few times before, and the visits were fine. Nothing exceptional, but nothing negative stands out in my memory, either. This time, however, was a completely different story. Let me also state right away that we didn't actually get to stay at the Comfort Suites this time around, even though we had a reservation...and that, of course, is the reason for the negative review. We booked a room through Booking.com, for an advertised special, several days prior to our trip. When we arrived at the hotel, however, we were told that we didn't have a reservation and that all their rooms were booked (even though we had a reservation confirmation printed out). The young man (college student?) at the front desk was completely uninterested in helping us get it straightened out. So we sat on hold in the lobby for 15 minutes with Booking.com to try to see what was going on, but finally had to give up and leave because we had a dinner reservation that we would have missed otherwise. If I thought this was a mistake on Booking.com's part, I would never leave this bad of a review, BUT the young man made the comment "We've been having problems with SEVERAL travel companies the last few days." That tells me the problem was not with Booking.com, but with Comfort Suites, since they are the common thread. We ended up calling a local inn while we were at dinner (The Mast Farm Inn) and we were lucky enough to get a FAR superior room for only $20 more than we were going to have to pay at Comfort Suites, plus a gourmet breakfast that was to-die-for, and incredible personal attention. So all-in-all, it actually could not have worked out better for us, but I will never stay at this Comfort Suites again.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express West Jefferson; City: West Jefferson North Carolina; Review: We spent one night here recently, and there is absolutely nothing negative to say about this hotel. Although the building itself is not new, it's very recently remodeled and looks new. Check-in was quick and painless, the room was spotless, the bed was extremely comfortable (not too soft OR too hard...a perfect compromise). Also not a lot of noise coming from the hall or other rooms. We were granted a late check-out (moved from 11 am to 12:30 pm) with no questions asked. All-in-all, a very pleasant stay and I would absolutely recommend this hotel to other travelers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: HYATT house Atlanta Downtown; City: Atlanta Georgia; Review: We recently stayed here for a few nights. We were looking for a hotel close to the Georgia Dome, and this hotel fit the bill perfectly. Also only 1 block away from the Georgia Aquarium. Mandatory valet parking is $26/night, but this is to be expected for the area. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite, and the room was spacious with a separate living area with a corner sectional, TV, and kitchen area. The bedroom also had a TV. Beds were comfortable (and I have a very bad back, so that is saying a lot). The complimentary breakfast was definitely better than is typical with free breakfasts at hotels...more choices, both of the hot and cold variety. Staff was courteous. We wanted to use the heated pool but we just didn't have time. One thing I would warn against...don't eat from the bar downstairs. We did that one night because we were in a hurry, so we decided to grab a quick bite there. First, it wasn't quick at all. Secondly, the food was bad...really bad. We should have known better. That's the only negative aspect of our visit. I would absolutely stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: King Charles Inn; City: Charleston South Carolina; Review: We've been staying at the King Charles for many years now, and would not consider staying anywhere else in Charleston. Even though I know there must be numerous other wonderful places to stay...why mess with a good thing? The location is perfect, and all the staff are super-friendly, especially Marcus (I think that's his name???) the doorman. There was even a small gift and note in our room when we checked in to thank us for our loyalty throughout the years. We ate breakfast at BREW pub 3 out of the 4 mornings of our stay, and breakfast was great every time. Our most recent stay was just as wonderful as all our others have been...we will be back (again)!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn Boone; City: Boone North Carolina; Review: This is a no-frills hotel, but it was perfect for our needs. We just needed a clean, comfortable bed for one night the weekend of the Highland Games. We decided at almost the last minute to go, so most places were already booked up. I'm honestly not sure why this hotel was not, and I was also really surprised at how reasonable the price was, given the supply-and-demand for that weekend (I'm not complaining, mind you!). The location is a little difficult to get in and out of, and the surrounding scenery isn't much to look at, but other than that, we had a very pleasant stay. We will definitely return.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wilderness at the Smokies Resort; City: Sevierville Tennessee; Review: We took our 2 kids plus their friends here for a weekend for their birthdays. We rented 2 rooms side-by-side that also connected. One room had a queen, plus a queen murphy bed, and a pull-out couch and a mini-kitchen (including 2-burner stove). The other room had a queen, plus a pyramid bunk (full on the bottom, single on the top), and a pull-out couch. It also had a mini fridge and microwave, but not a stove. It was the perfect arrangement for us because the kids could feel like they still had "their" space when they actually were right with us. The AC in one of the rooms was barely working, but maintenance came promptly when we called about it (around 10 pm!) and the worker who came was extremely polite and professional and had the unit fixed up in no time. The waterpark was, of course, just fine. The kids loved it. We ate all but 1 meal in our room, and I really wish we had eaten that meal in our room too, because it was HORRIBLE. Other than that, I have no complaints. Yes, the place is outrageously expensive, but we've come to expect that with these types of places. We actually live fairly close to a Great Wolf Lodge, and we considered going there instead, but we've found that Wilderness at the Smokies is actually a better deal, especially if you go in the summer when the outdoor water park is also open. The indoor water park at Smokies is even bigger than GWL's indoor park. We've been several times, and we'll return.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Martha Washington Inn and Spa; City: Abingdon Virginia; Review: We've stayed here 3 separate times and we've always enjoyed our visits. My only complaint would have to be the continental breakfast in the restaurant downstairs. It is pitiful. I've been to Super 8 Motels that have had better breakfasts than this. I would have expected it to be much better, based on the cost of this hotel. Out of the 3 times we've stayed, we went downstairs for breakfast 2 of those times, and both times it was equally bad, so I don't think we've just had bad luck as far as that's concerned. This seems to be the norm. BUT everything else about our stays have always been wonderful. I'm sure we will return.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hamilton Beach 31230 Set & Forget Toaster Oven with Convection Cooking; Brand: Hamilton Beach; Review: I got this item, opened it, set it up, read the instructions, and no sooner plugged it in than got wild beeping and an ERR on the display. The Troubleshooting instructions say this means the internal temperature sensor may be damaged, and that I need to call their customer support number for assistance. Not a great start. I called their support, and it only got worse: They are only available M-F from 8 to 4:30. Yeah, that's pretty much useless, in that I'm also at work then. Exactly who do they think they're supporting for ***home appliances*** with those hours? Never mind, and thanks anyway... returning it through Amazon is vastly easier and more efficient. Maybe I just got a fluke bad item, but if there's no one I can talk to about it to try to resolve, I'm not giving it a second chance. Back it's going, and so much for Hamilton Beach.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

So many towels have issues with the decorative stitching pulling in and mis-shaping the towel; that doesn't happen with these at all. Very well made. I own sets in tan, cream and white to match my bathroom. (The cream ones seemed to discolor for some reason and had to be bleached to remove which impacted the color. The white and tan had no similar issues, but that's why I took off 1 star, otherwise these would be a 5.); Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: MCSD Visual Basic 6 Desktop Exam Cram (Exam: 70-176); Author: Visit Amazon's Michael MacDonald Page; Review: I had used Microsofts Desktop Applications with VB6 and Transcender before this book. I also had quite a bit of hands on experience using VB before taking the Microsoft text. My first time out I failed getting only a 600 and needing 714 to pass the test. I then crammed with this book for about 20+ hours one weekend and took the test on a Monday morning. I easily passed the test with a 757 after that.

Title: DOS Mundos; Author: Tracy D. Terrell; Review: This text was required for Spanish 101 at the college I attend. Other then this class I am a straight A student, so I am very used to finding a way to glean from instructors and textbooks that are subpar at times. This book clearly assumes you know some Spanish starting out. Giving instructions in Spanish on page one to someone who has just started learning shows how out of touch of reality the academic community is with the real world by using this book. Clearly this book is so well thought of simply because of the "Group Think" that goes on, and not because it works. Half the class dropped out before three weeks, not all because of this poorly targeted text, but partily due to it. I am stuck in the class now. But unless something kicks in I will be going elsewhere to learn Spanish. I have found FREE resources that do better then this over priced text does. Sadly I had to give it at least one star, I would have went lower if I had a choice.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy; Author: Visit Amazon's Gerald Corey Page; Review: Having used a number of Corey's books I have found them to be clearly written, and a wealth of information. This book is no exception to that. However for students I have a lot of problems with the publisher and what they put in the test bank. Whoever wrote the questions does not appear to have read the book. Their answers frequently are totally in contradiction to what Corey states in the book. I enjoy the book greatly, and learned much from it. It is unfortunate that the publisher does not have the same standards as the author in quality though.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Final Warden: Gifts of Vorallon I (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Thomas Cardin Page; Review: Having a limited amount of time to read I am reluctant to pick up a book from an unknown author. Having read unpublished stories from Thomas made me willing to take a look at his first published book. I was not disappointed. Starting a new book is always a bit painful for me. I like getting to the meat of any subject. Thomas did enough in the first couple of chapters to raise questions in my mind. I was wondering why he used the word Killer for a character, and not Assassin. It made sense later in the book. This in part illustrates the authors ability to connect little pieces in the story. By the end of the book I still have many questions, but I also see that part of the story will not fit in until a later date. I really enjoyed the authors use of rising and falling action. Little by little I was pulled deeper and deeper into the protagonist's world. The mystery behind the origin of the protagonist adds to the story. As he becomes more aware of who he is the action continues to build, to the point it made it hard for me to put down. I have given this a five star rating. That does not mean I think it was "perfect". I would have liked to been grabbed a bit more at the start of the story. That is something that I feel like even big name authors struggle with. Without knowing what the rest of the series holds I wonder if to much information was given about the hero. However that is part of the mystery that intrigues me to want to read the next book in this series. The author has an excellent vocabulary and constructs a world full of texture as he weaves his story. His imagination is simply fun to see in action. If you are looking for a easy book to read in the fantasy gendre, complete with heroic characters this is a good choice.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Essentials of Oceanography; Author: Tom S. Garrison; Review: It is unfortunate that when reviewing this textbook there are not two pieces to the rating. As far as the author is concerned and how interesting he made this textbook I would give him 6 stars out of 5. One of the best written textbooks I have encountered. The language is simple enough that a non science major can understand. I found the reading of the book a delight, and I was learning much as I progressed. The publisher should be put in jail as far as I am concerned. Whenever a review question is asked a box marketing cengagebrain.com shows up telling the student to go buy the answers. I discovered if I wanted all the information being presented in this textbook I need to buy the E-Companion for about $60. Paying $200 for the cheaply bound paperback book is evidently not enough. If I had bought the book used I would be more sympathetic to Cengage, but I bought it new from Amazon. Ultimately I am left feeling like I had been to a seminar that was supposed to teach my something and instead I was told I needed to buy additional services to really learn what the seminar advertised.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Beloved; Author: Visit Amazon's Toni Morrison Page; Review: I was a bit disappointed in this critically acclaimed novel. As a story it is well written, and entertaining. The problem I had is that if I am to accept this as being an accurate depiction of the horrors that took place then I do not want to mix fantasy in with it. A ghost being central to the plot places this in the fantasy realm. I found that to be unfortunate, since it diminished the seriousness of the topic.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Hampton Inn Suites Tampa East Casino Area; City: Seffner Florida; Review: This was a trip for our motorcycle group and there was a benefit ride that started early on Saturday morning. The Hampton Inn moved their breakfast earlier to accommodate our early departure time. They started it at 6:00 a.m. When we arrived there were warm chocolate chip cookies waiting, coffee, and hot chocolate. Every thing was perfect, the rooms were great and accommodating.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pensacola Grand Hotel; City: Pensacola Florida; Review: By far one of the nicest hotels we have stayed in. Excellent service, great room, and amazing restaurant too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Executive Inn; City: Cairo Georgia; Review: Rooms smelt awful. Needed a nonsmoking room due to allergies. It was disgusting.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Mattoon; City: Mattoon Illinois; Review: Clean, pet friendly, conveniently located. Hotel staff was ready to help and it was nice to have the continental breakfast in the morning and not have to venture out. There was easy access and the pet friendly policy was a plus in choosing the hotel, as was traveling with my 2 yorkies.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lake Buena Vista Resort Village Spa; City: Orlando Florida; Review: Hotel had excellent service, rooms were very nice, and convenient to everything. Hotel had a bus service to the parks which was extremely nice to not have to worry about parking and returning from the park. They came just like they said every 30 minutes. Front desk gave exceptional service. Definitely would return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Thomasville; City: Thomasville Georgia; Review: Everything was great. The only issue was being charged twice for my room, as it was prepaid and when checking in the night clerk charged my card again. But, when I checked out in the morning the morning clerk was more than apologetic and quickly corrected the error and credited my card back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Vero Beach West I 95; City: Vero Beach Florida; Review: Absolutely an excellent experience. There was a group of 15 well behaved high school basketball players and their coaches. The hotel staff was extremely accommodating, well cleaned and affordable for the kids to make the trip.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Baymont by Wyndham Tampa Near Busch Gardens; City: Tampa Florida; Review: I have to say that the Poor rating is strictly for the condition of the hotel and not the staff. The rooms were dated, to say the least. The couch you could not sit on, because you fell through, carpet had damp odor. You definitely get what you pay for, which is very minimal for a nominal cost. The staff is definitely 5 Star. I can't say enough about how helpful they were with checking in. The only issue was they gave someone else our room too. It was a little unnerving having someone else trying to get into your room and say it was booked for them. But, Kitty in the Breakfast Café was the highlight of the stay. Could not have asked for a more positive and upbeat person. Greeted everyone with a hug and loved seeing her interact with the grandkids. She made all the things wrong with the hotel better. I would say they need to invest in updating, very soon. Also, wifi did not work the first night, might have been the storm, but, extremely slow the next morning. Might as well have been dial-up.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Bluegreen Vacations Club La Pension Ascend Resort Collection; City: New Orleans Louisiana; Review: We normally stay at another hotel, but, my husband wanted to be in the quarters. Pros - The staff is amazing and extremely helpful. Location is great. definitely historic building. Cons - staff should ask, if guests have any physical limitations when giving them a room that is 2 levels. Ours had a kitchenette/living room and 1/2 bath downstairs. Upstairs was the master with bath (no bathtub only shower). Stairs are extremely steep and dangerous. Also, I would recommend if you are going to have a kitchenette you would have a little bistro set. It is definitely inconvenient to eat a meal on the sofa or coffee table. Nice to have a room with the roof patio. Plus, when it rains you get soaked going from the elevator outside to your the roof to your room.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge; City: McKinley Village Denali National Park and Preserve A; Review: Princess has such the market on how you should treat your customers and giving them the service they deserve. Never needed or wanted for anything. Clean rooms, great food, and extremely efficient employees.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Hotel New Orleans Airport; City: Kenner Louisiana; Review: I could not have been more happier with the employees, the rooms, and hotels. What an amazing great way to end a really bad day when our flight had been cancelled. Late dinner in the bar was amazing too. Rooms were amazing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Southington; City: Southington Connecticut; Review: The rooms are average (you get what you pay for). They did have a microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker in room. Definitely not a fan of the breakfast. But, all of that could be overlooked accept for the awful, awful smell of smoking on the 3rd floor. I had asked for nonsmoking, as I have extremely asthma and allergies. You are knocked down by the smell of smoke in the hallways and the room across the hall from me. It could be smelt in the bathroom and through the door/walls. Don't think I will be back. Definitely not happy. Hotel is full due to basketball and wresting tournaments. On the positive it is extremely quite and I did not encounter the noise issues.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Hotel Suites Lake City; City: Lake City Florida; Review: Not extremely happy with my stay. I travel all over the world and have stay in many different hotels. I must stay for this to be in an area that really doesn't have much around you are paying extremely high dollars for nightly rates just because you are near I-75. Nothing else here besides the sports complex. I know that I have been in much larger cities and much nicer hotels for less than the $568 for 3 nights for a king bed and had to have a suite, as that is all that was available. Doesn't even include a breakfast. You have to pay extra to have breakfast. I will walk across the street to Cracker Barrel. Internet is beyond slow for "high speed". Elevators are beyond slow and I was on the 6th floor. Average wait time for elevators was 5-10 minutes.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Louisville Inn Suites; City: Louisville Colorado; Review: Having a great time. Front desk was very friendly and helped a lot. Rooms are comfortable. Free wifi, free breakfast, easy access and plenty of parking. It was nice to come in and there was free bottled water and chocolate chip cookies too. Conveniently located.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Executive Inn Suites; City: Colorado Springs El Paso County Colorado; Review: Not overly impressed. The front desk staff was exceptional nice. The room, not so much. The a/c does not work at all at night. It is like they turn all the units off and then in the morning they are working, no matter what temp it is set on. I stay at Best Western Plus' all the time and they have water/cookies out for guests. Not here. Behind the desk and you have to ask.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Louisville Riverside Hotel; City: Jeffersonville Indiana; Review: This hotel was only available for the first night of our tournament. I so wished we could have stayed the entire week there. What a wonderful experience and a great hotel. The rooms were amazing, the breakfast was great and the views were wonderful. Will be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rodeway Inn; City: Louisville Kentucky; Review: Absolutely would never stay here again. I can say the room was clean and that is it. Outside of hotel needs much updating. Dirty parking lot, stained stairs, did not even eat the breakfast. When we arrived late, no towels in room, blow dryer did not work. Parking in the far back side of hotel and rooms in the front. Did not feel safe at all to walk to the Expo Center. Looks like long term guests. All I can say is felt very unsafe. Would have left the first night, but, every hotel was booked for the tournament. Have stayed in Rodeway Inns before, but, not now. Absolutely would not return.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Baymont by Wyndham Mattoon; City: Mattoon Illinois; Review: Rooms are very nice. Love the rooms. But, I am guessing that the front desk was having a bad day. We arrived at 1:00 p.m., and was told by Devin that they did not have a king room in the whole hotel was ready. So, we went to have lunch and when we returned, Devin was not there. We stood for 15 minutes and got to listen to the cleaning staff get cussed out by one of the maintenance guys dropping the "F" word and the "S" word. I asked if I was interrupting something and was there someone there to help. One of the female housekeepers came out and apologized and said Devin was doing dishes. She went to get him and while he was checking me in the guy started at it again. Totally unprofessional.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hyatt Washington; City: Washington DC District of Columbia; Review: We gave this trip to our two 12 year old grandsons for their Christmas present. They loved it. The room was adequate for us. Like that it had a small refrigerator in it too. Staff were extremely friendly and everyone make sure our staff was perfect.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dauphine Orleans Hotel; City: New Orleans Louisiana; Review: Hotel is in a great location. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Check in is easy and parking a plus at hotel. My only disappointment is no where when you book do they say or tell you that the bar and the breakfast is closed down. You had a closet of a room with only bagels and a couple of muffins. Which in the evening is a makeshift bar. There should be something that states under renovation and for how long. When you are expecting breakfast to be included and you walk down and see bagels only, kind of gives you a "oh wow" feeling. But, the room is nice, staff is nice, just which they would have disclosed more when booking.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Ganesha Family Guesthouse; City: Battambang Battambang Province; Review: This place is great if you're looking for a quiet clean dorm to stay, staff are extremely helpful, has a bar with a pool table with a very relaxed feel.

Title: Ruhija Community Rest Camp; City: Kabale Western Region; Review: This place was a very nice surprise , it is close to where you set off for gorillas the next day, and the money goes directly into the ruhija community, they are great rooms but no showers. The staff were the most welcoming we have had, even bringing hot water bottles when we went to bed. Nice open fire place to sit and relax, definitely recommended, for African type accommodation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Garden Village Guesthouse Pool Bar; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: We stayed here for about 5 days just in the dorm room, very cheap nights sleep and has a very good bar, always a few people in there, very close to plenty of places to eat and they have one dollar bike hire.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chatrium Hotel Riverside Bangkok; City: Bangkok; Review: I stayed here with family for about a week, it was a great room, big swimming pool. The rooms were always clean, the staff were always very helpful and made the stay in Bangkok very easy for us, helping with directions, and the shuttle ferry was very handy to get to Asiateaque; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ella Rock House; City: Ella Uva Province; Review: Ella Rock House was a nice surprise. Everything is modern and clean, yet fits in well to the area of Ella. The staff were very helpful, and even offered to give us an upstairs room on our second day, but we were quite happy with the room downstairs. They made arrangements for travel on their new years day. Highly Recommend. Excellent Value also.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Villa Shade; City: Negombo Western Province; Review: We arrived in Colombo Airport at 5 am, and they organised pick up, and the owners of Villa Shade were awake and welcomed us to their place with a juice.

Title: Neela s Beach Guesthouse; City: Hikkaduwa Galle District Southern Province; Review: We had the top room here, which was very spacious, clean with a huge balcony. Neela's was very quiet at the time of our stay, but we still had a nice stay, and their restaurant is right on the beach. The staff are also helpful; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Borderlands; City: Kitulgala Sabaragamuwa Province; Review: This was our first experience of Sri Lanka, It was great to stay right on the banks of the river, and do some canyoning. The staff were all very helpful, and the food each night was amazing, with lots of variety.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sujatha s Homestay; City: Kandy Kandy District Central Province; Review: We found Sujatha's homestay to be as most people have described. It is about a ten minute tuk-tuk ride out of Kandy city which is great because it is much quieter and very nice garden and views. We arrived late in the afternoon and were thinking of relaxing for the night, but Ronnie gave us plenty of great ideas to make the most of our short stay in Kandy and helped us come up with so many things to do while in Kandy for a day and a half. The room was very good, with a large balcony, they serve a very good breakfast and can arrange all of your transport needs. Wish we had longer to stay there, and has time to eat dinner there as so many reviews say so many great things!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: White Elephant Hotel; City: Nallathanniya Central Province; Review: We only stayed for one night, but our room was huge with views over the creek. The manager and staff could not have been more helpful, and gave great advice on when to climb, and helped with transport to our next destination. Enjoyable stay; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dunes Unawatuna Hotel; City: Unawatuna Galle District Southern Province; Review: We stayed here after trying a very cheap hotel in Unawatuna the night before we were impressed by the high standard of our room and the friendly service. The owners are extremely helpful and gave us ideas of places to visit and eat, many of which we would not have found on our own. The place has been built thinking of every little detail, the rooms are very spacious and there is a powerful fan that works fine to keep you cool at night. I read previous reviews that mention no A/C in the rooms, but I can only think that if A/C is so important to someone travelling through Sri Lanka, maybe this question should be asked before booking a hotel? We found the rooms to have modern amenities, including a safe for storing money and passports and inbuilt universal wall adapters. This was the first time we came across this while traveling through Sri Lanka. The owners and staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, and this hotel is very close to the beach, breakfast is great. Nice garden setting with monkeys playing in the trees around the pond.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beagle Motor Inn; City: Katherine Top End Northern Territory; Review: Had a nice stay here, the staff are great and very helpful, conveniently located close enough to the main st of Katherine, Clean and tidy rooms , and good value for money, plenty of parking and a pool.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: SIIG Express Card 11-in-1 Card Reader/Writer; Brand: SIIG; Review: I just got this card and so far it works very well in my MacBook Pro running Mac OS X. Even though it says it only works for PC's running windows this is not true it will work in Macs too. It's fast and stays very flush with the case. It doesn't stick out of the slot even with a SD memory card inserted which makes this very neat since you can just leave the card inside your computer all the time and not have to worry about it being broken off or anything.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Philips X2/27 Fidelio Over Ear Headphone, Black; Brand: Philips; Review: These headphones are truly amazing. They're such a great value when you consider build quality and sound quality which both are excellent even when comparing to headphones costing 2 or 3 times more. They easily compete with headphones costing twice as much. These are the best headphones by a mile in this price range. Their comfort is supreme. The cable is alittle long for most people but it's removable and uses a standard Audio jack plug so you can replace it with any cable, even one with a mic, although, if you don't mind the extra length it's a great cable big improvement over the X1. If your on the fence just buy these you will not regret it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Biden Welcome Center; City: Newark, DE; Review: I'm convinced that going to the bathroom after holding it in for multiple hours is the best feeling in the world. Nothing can surpass it. However, I expected more from Delaware House than just a place to let out a huge sigh of relief. Complaint time. They massacred my beloved Roy Rogers experience. 6 dollars for a regular Roast Beef sandwich. The sandwich was all dried out and tasted overcooked. You bastards. This is unforgivable. Follow this up with the Sunoco gas station having its entire credit card system go down, and the whole experience was complete. Tip: Avoid the Roy Rogers here.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Reading Terminal Market; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Yay, I get to join the long line of people who have written a review of the Reading Terminal Market. My review will last 2 seconds at the top of the new reviews near you list and then get buried, never to be seen again. Ah well, better make it count. Here's my take on it as well as a few things I learned about how to survive. 1. Come with an appetite. I ate 3 separate lunches while I was here. It came out to a meal every hour. That's how I roll. 2. Do not come here while there is another event going on...like say a Flower Show. It's a little disconcerting when all the parking guys are telling you to enjoy the Flower Show. 3. There are a bunch of pay lots to park in, just shop around for the best deal if you are going to drive in to the city. If you're taking one of the buses from DC, you pretty much get dropped off right around the corner. 4. You will get up close and personal with everyone at the market. If you dress in layers, your body will be less accessible to other people's hands. If you get claustrophobic, do not go here. 5. People will think it's appropriate to bring luggage and strollers through the tiny aisles that make up the market. Hurdle them or tip them over. Then blame the person next to you. This applies to old people and small children as well. Do not be afraid to throw elbows. 6. If you come alone, you can sneak into all the seating areas that much easier. There's always that lone seat that no one wants to take. While that couple is arguing about who should take the seat, you can swoop in and solve that dilemma for them. 7. Bring cash. Many of the stalls are cash only. 8. This is just filler. I wanted to make the list even.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tommy DiNic's; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I'll preface by saying that the Travel Channel runs a nice racket of taking places that are alright and then turning them into tourist must-see spots. This is one of those spots. I had a pork sandwich with the broccoli rabe. It was a good sandwich. The pork was tender and juicy, but could have used some more spice or kick. The broccoli rabe didn't add a whole lot to the sandwich. It was just very bland. The bread was good and soaked up the juices nicely. It just didn't live up to the hype. I overheard the waitress recommending the brisket over the pork. The next time I'm in Philly, I'll have to try the brisket. Sandwich with broccoli rabe and drink came out to 10 bucks. Not that great a deal. Also, I had just eaten another meal and I had no problems finishing this sandwich. Lines are ridiculously long for to go orders. If you can, just stand by the counter until a seat opens up. If you're near the Reading Terminal Market, give this place a try. I wouldn't go out of my way though.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Pearl's Oyster Bar; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Wow, this place got hammered in the reviews. I feel like I dodged a bunch of landmines without consulting Yelp first. This place had one of the larger dining counters and I was starving...so I figured this would suffice as the first stop on a long day of gluttony. They were doing a lot of takeout business as well. On the recommendation of the waitress, I went with the trout platter. It consisted of two trout fillets, breaded and fried, with coleslaw, fries, and a roll. I liked it. Granted, I like most fried seafood and my standards are low. The coleslaw and fries were non-memorable. I also had a cup of the lobster bisque. It was good...loaded with lobster, creamy, and good flavor. Washed it down with their sweet tea. Can't knock a place for having decent sweet tea. Came out to 15 bucks. Service was good and the food came out right away. I'd come back to this place...granted, I didn't have any of what everyone else was complaining about. Maybe I should...I like to live dangerously.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bassetts Ice Cream; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The line here was long but it moved pretty quickly. For future reference: Order where it says "order here" and pick up your ice cream where it says "pick up here". I didn't have a problem with this, but a surprising amount of people did. I got one of my favorite flavors... mint chocolate chip...and it did not disappoint. The ice cream was pretty thick and yet still creamy. Good amount of chocolate chips in it. I like how they have 5-6 different cones to choose from. I'll have to give each of them a try if I'm ever back here. You know it's good ice cream when a little girl pushes you out of the way to go claim her cone. I thought to myself, "little girl you're going to pay...mmm....mint chocolate chip". Yes, I got distracted. She got lucky this time. Next time, there will be no mercy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Jim's South St; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I really have nothing to add that 400+ other reviews can't cover. I thought it was a good cheesesteak. I'm no expert by any means..but I probably would push a kid into oncoming traffic for a cheesesteak with cheese whiz and onions. Granted, I'd probably push a kid into traffic for a can of Pringles. Sandwich and drink...that's all you really need. Make sure you get onions. I had one without and one with onions and it made a huge difference. There was more than enough seating when I went. Can't speak about consistency because I only went once.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pepperfire Hot Chicken; City: Nashville, TN; Review: I didn't realize that I would walk into such a sensitive topic as where to get hot chicken. I was rolling through for a conference and felt like punching myself in the colon. Mission accomplished hot chicken. Sadly, I walked in completely unprepared. The lady at the window was exceptionally enthusiastic while also making me painfully aware of my lack of manhood. I asked for mild. She asked me if I had ever had hot chicken before and I said no. She then suggested that I go with light mild. Probably the better choice given I would be stuck in lectures through the "ring of fire." The hot chicken was good...fried chicken without the batter...crispy skin...spicy seasoning. The collar green were super tasty and I drank the salty collard green ham water that it was soaked in. The potato salad was a good choice to balance out the spiciness of the chicken. However, the highlight of the meal by far was the fried grilled cheese sandwich with pepper jack cheese. I still have dreams about that sandwich. The light batter...the gooey cheese, you have to like it all. I made the mistake of not calling in my order or ordering online...which apparently is a thing now. Otherwise, your order could take up to 30 minutes to process. Parking is extremely limited. There is no bathroom and no sink for handwashing. I did like how they text you when your order is done...however, there is only one window and you may get stuck behind people ordering. Overall, I am a fan and will have to try the waffle. I may even man up and get mild next time. I am a risk taker. Will also have to try Prince's and Hattie B's.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grillshack Fries and Burgers - East Nashville; City: Nashville, TN; Review: I am glad that I drove into an area with a KFC, Popeyes, Sonic, Mo's Burgers all right next to each other. One of the best most reasonably priced burgers ever. I got the grillshack burger with bacon (of course with bacon). They cook it to medium. As far as I'm concerned, only people who hate freedom cook it well done. I like how they also don't put any sauce on the burger. There's something satisfying about defiling your burger with mayonnaise and ketchup yourself. The burger was amazing. The fries were excellent. They held up their texture even though I had to drive 20 minutes to get back to my hotel. I also got some garlic pepper wings. Why? Because I was still hungry. And they were worth it. They also maintained their crispiness through the ride home. The horseradish ranch was a nice touch as well. If I ever go back to Nashville, I shall return here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Nolama Women's Latex Waist cincher Vest Sport Girdle Waist Trainer Corset Black; Brand: Nolama; Review: The Nolama Women's Steel Boned Corset is seriously the most missed size item I have ever received.

But how is it a waist trainer if everyday I would have to have someone help dress me. What a bummer. The corset seems very strong and probably durable. But unless you go up three Sizes.

Title: Women's Open Front Ruched Short Sleeve Shark Bite Hem Casual Plus Size Cardigan; Brand: ; Review: I received the Women's Open Front Ruched Short Sleeve Sweater last week. It's an ok style. It's definitely more frumpy than I would like for going out and about. I might go run errands in the sweater. But it will probably be something I only wear around the house. It runs slightly small. And does nothing to hide anything you might want to disguise. The material is soft and light weight. So it will be nice for the summer. Maybe on a very slim body this sweater would look better. But on anyone with a little extra I think it's just ok. I see someone wearing this with jeans and a black shirt. My Review at a glance: Is this item worth the money?

Title: Cute Little Pumpkin | Infant, Baby Halloween Jack O' Lantern One Piece Outfit Orange; Brand: ; Review: The Cute Little Pumpkin baby Halloween outfit is super cute. I bought this outfit for my niece. As my little ones are to big now. :( I can't wait to see her in it next Halloween. As some of the reviewers have stated it is pretty thin material for something a baby will wear in October. It does look pretty true to size. But since she's not born yet I can't totally confirm. The color is a true orange. Not super bright it's just right. The pumpkin is centered which has been a problem for other products I have purchased. I think you will be happy with this one!

Title: Andilier little Boy's 2-6T Cotton Cartoon Boxer Briefs Trunk Underwear; Brand: ANTION; Review: The antion Boys cotton boxer briefs is a big of a strange item. First the design. The first two pairs are pretty normal robots and scooters. But the third pair is just weird faces (see pictures.). Maybe I'm missing something of who these weird faces and kind of scary bear is. And then their is the the fit. These are more women's boy shorts style than boxer briefs. Please see picture of my sons actual boxer briefs. All that being said. The color is vibrant and has stayed true through many many washes. The size is true to size. If your looking for boy shorts these are for your little guy. Good luck on your search. :) My Review At A Glance: Is this item worth the money? Sure Do I like this item? Not really Would I buy this item again? No way Would I tell my friends and family about this item? Well I have showed my family the rather odd pair. Does that count?

For the life of me I can't figure out why you would need more than one band for a fitbit but whatever. My kid has an assortment of bracelets to wear now. Much cheaper than the stuff at the cheap kid's jewelry stores. On a serious note, these things seem to be really good quality and just like the fitment of the original band the fitbit came with.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: CamelBak Chute 1L Water Bottle; Brand: camelbak; Review: Great gym bottle. I drink a lot of water when I am at the gym so this stays with me after I fill it up and I don't need to return to the fountain mid-workout. I keep a .75 liter bottle with me during the day as it is a bit lighter. I love both of them. They are durable and water does not leak. The only time you will have water drip is if you get some in the threads while you are filling it. Otherwise, solid. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Scosche RHYTHM+ Heart Rate Monitor Armband - Optical Heart Rate Armband Monitor With Dual Band Radio; Brand: Scosche; Review: The Scosche Rhythm+ seems to work really well for any land based activity that does not involve flexing the part of the body that band is attached to. With this band mounted on my forearm, I can do all gym based exercises and have it record properly except for bicep work (sometimes chest work) which makes my forearms flex like crazy and the sensor moves around at that point showing my heart rate at like 60 (yeah right!). Also, once it moves, my forearm is usually quite drenched with sweat at that point and the water between the sensors and my skin does not help anything. When that happens, I have to take the band off, dry the sensors and my arm and then put it back on. Other than that, I am satisfied with how quickly it records heart rate changes and how it connects to many different fitness tracking apps. I am using Endomondo at the moment. It performs really well for cardio based workouts like biking or rowing even when incorporating HIIT into those types of things. It seems to keep a good connection to the phone when actively connected and an app is recording your workout. If you do not have an app actively requesting info from it, it will lose connection periodically but it reestablishes quickly when you want to start using it. With that said, I think I am going to look into a chest strap to more accurately monitor my heart rate through ALL my gym exercises and not have to worry about something slipping out of place. I will definitely keep this around and use it for what I feel it excels at but it is not the end all be all solution for a gym goer.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Sports_and_Outdoors |

Title: Yongnuo Professional Flash Speedlight Flashlight Yongnuo YN 560 III for Canon Nikon Pentax Olympus Camera / Such; Brand: YONGNUO; Review: The flash unit itself was nice enough. The interface is dizzying, but I suppose that's par for this sort of thing. I bought these because they were meant to pair with the Yongnuo RF-603 N3 2.4GHz Wireless Flash Trigger. They don't.

Title: Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, Widescreen Video Calling and Recording, 1080p Camera, Desktop or Laptop Webcam; Brand: Logitech; Review: I like the solid construction of the device.

Title: Etymotic Research ER22-B2-A ETY-COM Noise-Isolating Mobile Phone Headset with 3.5mm Plug and VOIP Adapter - Wired Headsets; Brand: Etymotic Research; Review: This is a great headset for the price. Clear audio quality. I'll post an audio sample. It's simple. I don't like the physical design. It's a tension mount in your ear, and the cord is pretty short. So if I were on the go, or I had large ear canals.. I don't think this would work too well. But the boom is great for isolating your voice without anything fancy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: V LED Warehouse Universal Extendable Video Projector Ceiling/Wall Mount Bracket with Adjustable Height; Brand: V LED Warehouse; Review: You really can't go wrong at this price. It's a sturdy mount, versatile configuration and it's working well for me. Things to consider: There is only one mounting point, so if your tripod mount isn't balanced in the center of your projector, it will be difficult to keep straight. The tension locks for the arm are not super strong either, so for me I had to use a pipe wrench to get my projector to stay straight. And as others noted, the holes to run your wires thru the arm are too small for even an hdmi cable, so they're pretty much useless. Still, for this price, it's a good looking, functional mount IMO.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: 4.1 Transmitter and Receiver, Inateck 2-in-1 Wireless Adapter with 3.5mm Stereo Output, for Headphone, Speakers, TV, MP3 / MP4,; Brand: Inateck; Review: This product would be fine for music. But I had intended to use it with my home theater system (as promoted in the product description), and for that it's pretty unbearable. The latency is very noticeable, so everything you watch looks like an overdubbed foreign film. The audio quality itself is good IMO. There's no display or anything though, so the pairing process is a little cumbersome which would get annoying if you were using it with batteries and you had to pair it over and over again. I do like that it can be a receiver as well, so I'll probably just use it for that.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac - Silver (Certified Refurbished); Brand: Logitech; Review: I like the physical design of the keyboard, but the connectivity is so poor.

I think I'd rather have a wired keyboard if it means a smoother experience.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: OKUMA VS-605-20 Voyager Spinning Travel Kit; Brand: OKUMA; Review: I did a lot of reviewing when i made my purchase, and i am glad i did. this rod/real had good reviews but i was still skeptical when i saw the price. you don't typically get a good rod and reel for under $80 in my mind, but this out performed my expectations. i bought this for a Boundary waters trip to pack light, we caught northern and the all mighty small mouth and this rod and real held up very nice. i plan to buy another one as a wedding gift for the groom of the bachelor party the trip was for. the top complaint i rread was the rod would occasionally come apart when casting. so i made sure to press them together good, this was a mistake. i could not get the rod apart after pressing them together so hard, i needed a pliers. my recommendation is to take it easy at first untill you find the happy medium.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Vitalsox Italy, VT1211 Patented Graduated Compression Socks Carbon Series- One Pair; Brand: Vitalsox; Review: I love these socks. I am very prone to shin splints, but since a friend told me about compression socks, I have never had them again. These have been great socks, they fit nice and tight and they don't fall. I wear them for 3-4 runs before I wash them, they never stink and they never get loose. They wick the water away as well. I have put roughly 160 miles on these socks according to my run diary so they definitely last.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I can wear this with my running shorts and have the tension enough to retain the pistol with confidence but still have a draw that does not pull my shorts up to my nipples.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Sports_and_Outdoors |

Title: Grand Oasis Palm; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Our family spent a great vacation at the Grand Oasis Palm in Cancun over New Year's. We stayed at the Grand Oasis Tulum 5 years ago and we love that these resorts are authentically Mexican and they give back to their community. Theyare also frequented by Mexicans, Europeans and South Americans. The food was fantastic and the drinks were delicious and easy to find. We tipped generously as everyone works very hard and always have a smile to make you feel very special and welcome. Be sure to order the Mayan Coffee in Careyes. We never went hungry as food is offered all day long. We had difficulty cashing our travellers checks so don't bother getting them. Bring American money and many smaller bills for tipping. Everything is very clean and well taken care of. We felt very safe and the beach was warm with many chairs and towels to be found. The ocean was calm but there was some sea weed to avoid. We saw a couple of sting rays but they were small and avoided the swimmers. Special thanks to Jesus, and Yari at the Spa for taking care of my daughter, husband and I. The messages and pedicures were delightful!! Angel greeted us our first night and helped learn a little Spanish. Francisco treated us very well at the breakfast buffet and didn't mind finding me honey or a banana when none where on the buffet. We loved the ribs at Ares de Norte and the entertainment was fabulous. We even tried the shark at La Bamba! My beautiful friend whom I looked forward to seeing throughout the day was the beautiful hostess whose name is beautiful but I can't remember except it starts with a Z and she works almost every day morning to night at the buffet seating folks. We took the bus downtown and along the strip for 1$ and enjoyed a the Mayan Adventure excursion to snorkel with the turtles at Akumel, swim in a cenote, rappel and zip into the jungle.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Cranbrook Hotel; City: Cranbrook Kootenay Rockies British Columbia; Review: Travelled with two teens and the suite that had two doubles and a sofa worked well. Didn't have a chance to use the kitchen but it would have been great if we were staying longer. I wish they had breakfast included. Ended up running to Mc D's.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Blackfoot; City: Calgary Alberta; Review: 5 star service for a 3 star price. Went to Calgary to attend a conference and came two days earlier to enjoy the excellent stay at my favorite hotel. The rooms are elegant, showers delightful and high quality in room tea bags made me feel right at home. The staff were eager to please and the Sunday brunch was out of this world.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Suites Coeur d Alene; City: Coeur d Alene Idaho; Review: Everything is new and welcoming! We stayed in the best rooms and were VERY comfortable. Breakfast was great each day and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. We took two teenagers and gave them their own room, the best in the hotel and they thought we had won the lottery! Great place for a vacation!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Airdrie AB; City: Airdrie Alberta; Review: Had to stop to catch some zzz's and found this Super 8 on-line for 79.99 a night on a Friday! I was greeted by an extremely professional and welcoming gentleman who made me aware that the hotel had just been renovated and that I was welcome for breakfast in the morning. The room was spotless and the bed was exceptionally comfy. Breakfast had a nice assortment and I would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort and affordability.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vista Sol Punta Cana Beach Resort Spa; City: Bavaro Punta Cana La Altagracia Province Dominic; Review: My daughter and I went for a quick girls get away. We really enjoyed the soft sand and warm waters. We enjoyed the food even at the buffet and the drinks were abundant and delicious! Our room was very clean and cool and we were always supplied with more than enough bottled water. Because this is an older resort it is smaller and more intimate than some of the expansive newer resorts. The grounds are mature and well maintained and the wildlife that calls Vista Sol home were very entertaining. The activity crew entertained you morning noon and night. They are all very talented. We met great people especially around the pool and the weather was consistently warm and sunny. I highly recommend Vista Sol for an economic all inclusive getaway!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Rialto; City: Venice Veneto; Review: Hotel Rialto provided my 81 year old mother and I with excellent accommodations in terms of location, service, breakfast, comfort and price! This hotel is located near the classics bridge and therefore it is easy to catch the affordable water bus to get to and from your sight seeing destinations. My mom has mobility issues so this spot was perfect to cut down on the amount of walking required while still seeing so much of this charming port city. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and were happy to answer all of our touristy questions. The breakfast was buffet style with a hot and cold food too and even though it was busy, the staff was friendly and Mom was impressed with the elegance of the fabrics table cloths! The front desk staff even went the extra mile to mail a painting to Canada for me. As with most rooms in Europe, it was small but full of charm and the bathroom was updated and luxurious- almost the same size as the bedroom!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Paleo Eats: 111 Comforting Gluten-Free, Grain-Free and Dairy-Free Recipes for the Foodie in You; Author: Kelly Bejelly; Review: This is a beautiful book, and Kelly's warmth and enthusiasm shine through. She loves good food, and she knows how to help us prepare delicious food. The photos are beautiful, and the instructions are clear. I appreciate that, if one is already following Paleo food prep, no additional shopping is required for specialty items. But if I *did* need a pantry item, she's got me covered with a listing of suggested sources. Extras to help us better incorporate the recipes into our plans are: (1) on the recipe page, mentions of other dishes in the cookbook that would go well with this dish; (2) a graphic element at the bottom of the recipe page identifies which menu category the dish fits into, and sometimes there is also a special notation that the recipe fits into a special event category such as birthday/holiday. To easily find a recipe, there is a section toward the back of the book where each recipe in a menu category is listed using a small photo - for those of us with visual memories. I use an index a lot to find recipes and I have found a few issues with this index. So I will either write in missing entries or perhaps use the visual index of recipe categories, or maybe even turn to the Table of Contents. This is a "comfort food" cookbook, and I'm looking forward to trying many of the recipes. "Food from the Heart." The Honey Ginger Carrots were a hit yesterday. I've been making the Sweet Bread, but have had to make some adjustments. I've read elsewhere, though, that the brand of coconut flour one uses can make a huge difference in how the baked goods turn out. I'm not quite satisfied yet, but DH asks for me to make it when we run out, so it's enough of a success. I'm pretty sure this is going to be one of my "go-to" books among my Paleo cookbooks. I'm looking forward to many delicious meals incorporating these recipes. Am especially looking forward to the No-Bake Chocolate Raspberry 'Cheesecake.' (Valentine's Day is coming up soon, and it's going to be on the menu!); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dead Before Morning; Author: Evans; Review: I enjoyed this story overall - thought the writing was good and enjoyed the developing partnership of the two policemen. There were other interesting characters as well that liven up the series. The ending, though, had me shaking my head. Really!? Still a good read, though. I would be interested in reading more books in this series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Another Stab at Life (Volstead Manor Series #1) (Heartsong Presents Mysteries #9); Author: Visit Amazon's Anita Higman Page; Review: We see Bailey Walker's character develop throughout this story, and it will be fun to see how she, and her neighbors, change and grow throughout this series. Quite a bit of humor lightened up the spookiness of the old and decrepit house she inherited and lives in, and the plot being carried out against her. I don't usually read romances, but enjoyed that as one aspect of this cozy mystery. An enjoyable read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Always a Cold Deck (Harry Reese Mysteries); Author: Visit Amazon's Robert Bruce Stewart Page; Review: To be fair, I will have to state that I read this book in bits and pieces over quite a long period of time. I didn't have much time to read, and this book did not keep me up late. So I would not say that it's fast-paced, as some reviewers have said. (But perhaps that's because I did read it over such a long period of time.) I found it low-key, interesting, amusing. It did seem to me that the plot was a bit convoluted, but perhaps that is also due to reading it in bits and pieces. A period piece, and part of the enjoyment was due to that element. I was a bit dismayed that the main character entered into a marriage without much emotion. It seemed both parties entered into the marriage rather lightly, and without much thought given to it ahead of time. Probably not a series that I will follow, but enjoyable nevertheless.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Secrets of Pepin View Manor; Author: Visit Amazon's Jo Williams Page; Review: I'm not sure which version I read. It says Second Edition, but there was no bad language that is referenced in other reviews. I enjoyed this book a lot. The author knows how to keep you turning pages, so I stayed up later than I wanted to a couple of nights. Although there is an attempted murder, a kidnapping, medical experimentation, and threats, it is overall a gentle book. A great sense of place, and description of life in a small community. Lots of love and care for others. Good writing and interesting characters, so I'm interested in pursuing this series. Question: it did seem like things were pretty much wrapped up in the end, but isn't there still a character whose deeds have not been brought to light? Perhaps that is to be revealed in a subsequent book?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The 5 Little Love Rituals: Connect and Keep Your Love Alive No Matter How Busy You Are; Author: Marko Petkovic M.Sc.; Review: I'm not going to write a long review, because others have written thoughtful and comprehensive reviews. I'll just say I consider this book a gem. Easy to read and understand, and chock full of practical suggestions. I thought he nailed it when he said an issue even more important than communication is: our perception of our partner. I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere else, but it sets the tone for our relationships. I'm already seeing positive changes after implementing a couple of easy-to-do suggestions before I even finished reading the book. And the author links to free bonus material providing even more tips for ways to carry out his suggestions. Marko Petkovic delivers!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Bags for Less Black Suit & Dress Travel & Storage Garment Bag Durable, Rip Resistant, Repellent, Breathable; Brand: Bags for Less; Review: Purchased several of these in November. Have been using two of them, five days per week, to go to gym. They hold a sports coat, shirt, tie and pants without problem. Not much in way of extra room if wanted to add more clothing. So far very pleased with these. No sign of wear in two months, lightweight, and do a good job of keeping my clothing organized (and free of pet hair, which is always an issue at my house).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SoftHeat by Perfect Fit | Ultra Soft Plush Electric Heated Warming Blanket with Safe & Warm Low-Voltage Technology (Queen,; Brand: Perfect Fit; Review: This is my first electric blanket. Very pleased: dual controls, great price. Has worked nicely during this winter weather. Would recommend this product and this vendor.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hamilton Beach 6-Cup Coffee Maker, Programmable Brewstation Dispensing Coffee Machine (48274); Brand: Hamilton Beach; Review: It took me a while to get used to using this; as a bit complex to add water, etc., but after a couple weeks I've come to really like this coffee maker. I've also found out you can push the capacity to 32 ounces of water, which just fills my small Thermos and travel mug.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: OXO Good Grips 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer; Brand: OXO; Review: Saw one of these in use on a recent cruise. Was fascinated by the speed with which the waiter used this device to turn out mass quantities of guacamole. Purchased one from Amazon. This was by Oxo, wired to an Oxo cardboard card. Decent price and speedy delivery. Have now used this a couple times on large avocados. Flesh doesn't cut quite as clean as a sharp knife, but then again you don't run the risk of cutting yourself...and cut is adequate to half the avocado. Removing the pit is fun and safer than using a sharp knife. Using the tines of the device will do a good job of scooping out the avocado...on the cruise, the waiter scooped in several directions before removing the fruit from the peel to create large chunks of avocado. Easy to clean the tines of the avocado using sprayer attachment on my kitchen faucet. Would recommend the product as something fun to use, and for anyone concerned in using a sharp knife to process their avocados.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cucisina Lemon Squeezer / Lime Juicer / Citrus Press - Commercial Grade Aluminum (Red); Brand: Cucisina; Review: Good product and price; much stronger that plastic models you often find at grocery store. Like the enamel coating since dealing with acidic juices. Well packaged for the product, fast delivery. Would buy from this vendor again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Officemate Magnet Plus Magnetic Double Coat Hook, Black/White (92522); Brand: Officemate; Review: Good strong magnet. Like the product. Holds my suit jacket plus hanger, and a raincoat without any issues.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: AmazonBasics Ni-MH AA & AAA Battery Charger With USB Port; Brand: AmazonBasics; Review: Works great so far. I have to wait and see how it holds up.

Title: CT Sounds Shallow Pro Audio 8" 4 Ohm Midrange PA Car Speaker; Brand: CT Sounds; Review: BRAVO CT Sounds BRAVO! That's all I can say...actually I can say more. These are so loud and crisp it's unbelievable. Even at high volume they are still clear. Those are incredible. Unfortunately, I have them on passive crossovers, so I'm just waiting until my tweets come in and then I'll run them active. Also waiting for my car sounds 125.4 to come in. Thanks a million; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Hotel Isabel; City: Mexico City Central Mexico and Gulf Coast; Review: I stayed 6 nights at Hotel Isabel with my girlfriend and we really enjoyed the stay. There is nothing fancy about the hotel and the rooms, but it is comfortable, has free wifi and the staff are very friendly. The location is great, smack in the middle of downtown and close to the palace and cathedral. Subway is close to. There was noise from the street, but was else is to be expected in the biggest city in the world :) At 420 pesos a night this really was great value for the money. The pressure in the shower was low and really the only negative thing I have to say. I would use the hotel again for my next stay in Mexico City.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Lodge at Uxmal; City: Uxmal Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We were staying at the hacienda but got bumped up to the lodge for free due to a big group staying at the hacienda. Great service. The room was nice and spacious with air conditioning. The two pools made it easy to relax in the heat and with the pyramids as our neighbor the lodge was a great place to stay. Only downsides was the restaurant which was plain compared to some of the other places we ate in Mexico. Also the bar personal were a bit rude trying to give 100 pesos change in coins. If you want to see the pyramids in Uxmal this is a great place to stay. Mind you though there are cheaper places in the same area. We did not originally chose the lodge but we enjoyed the upgrade and a bit more of luxury.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Casa de Celeste Vida; City: Celestun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: I stayed two nights at celeste vida with my girlfriend and it is a very nice place to stay with the beach as your backyard. The hosts are very helpful and made us feel at home. The room didn't have air conditioning which brings the rating down to 4. At the rate of Celeste vida it should have air conditioning which would also help keeping the many Mosquitos away. Definitely one of the best places to stay in Celestun!!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Adora Golf Resort Hotel; City: Belek Serik District Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: I stayed at Adora for a week playing tennis with friends. Overall it was a great place to stay with the possibility to do a lot of sports and fitness. Located right at the beach with a great view and nice open spaces inside the hotel area. A run on the beach is recommended but the sand is heavy so expect to go slower than normal ;-) We primarily played tennis and the hotel offers 4 clay courts and 4 artificial grass courts. All in good conditions and besides our prebooked hours it was possible to play a lot more when courts were available. Good value! The food is good and the buffet offers a lot of healthy choices both for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even a late night snack. A bit more variation on the cooked dishes would be nice and at the end of the week it got a bit monotonous. The all inclusive concept worked well and it was possible to get all the drinks and bevarages you wanted. The hotel arranged entertainment almost every night which added life to the bar. It wasn't really for my tasting and it was quite annoying with the loud music if you wanted to sleep. We lived on the third floor but could still hear it. Some things to point out - the free wifi was really bad and there was not connection in the rooms - the spa, swimming pool and sauna area is nice. You have to pay for a massage (remember to hackle the price). No credit cards are accepted which seems odd. - the jacuzzi was broken and didn't get fixed the week we were there. Also the sauna is quite small considering how huge the hotel is. - the hotel is located far from everything and you need a car really to go to Antalya for instance. Cabs and busses can be taken at the hotel. - the table tennis equipment is pretty bad and one of the tables are placed in the swimming pool area which made it very humid to play. - the game room has a lot of stuff to offer but everything costs money and we didn't really use it. - the swimming pool area is huge and seems nice. However it wasn't open yet when we were there; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Queens Hotel Kandy; City: Kandy Kandy District Central Province; Review: The hotel has the perfect location for exploring Kandy as it is smack in the little of the city centre. However the hotel has several drawbacks and could do with some general maintenance - our room had really thin walls. Basically we could hear everything from people next door and on the hallway. - breakfast was the worst we had in sri lanka and you preferably should eat somewhere else - despite opening for breakfast 6.30 they werent really ready and we kind of sat there for 25 minutes while they got themselves sorted out; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Odyssey Hoi An Hotel; City: Hoi An Quang Nam Province; Review: We had an OK stay at the Odyssey. Its good value for money and they offer bike rental for free. Just next door you can rent scooters. We found the mornings too noisy. Starting at 7 am with cleaning staff and people down on the street chatting and working. Since the hotel is poorly isolated we could here everything and we didnt like being woken up this early. The location is so so. The river view is OK but you are looking at a green fence and there's a construction site next to the hotel. It's a short bike ride to the old town but I think you can find better spots in this city; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Shells Resort and Spa Phu Quoc; City: Duong Dong Phu Quoc Island Kien Giang Province; Review: We enjoyed 3 nights over New years and had a really pleasant stay. We stayed in room 215 and it had an amazing view and very spacious. Great with having the option off private beach and pool. An improvement would be to have sunbeds at the pool and not only on the beach. The food was OK but we only tried breakfast and lunch. Breakfast was a bit disappointing. We came close to breakfast service ending and a lot of the food items were no longer available. Also I would expect different coffees being included in the breakfast at this price range. For dinner we ended up eating outside the resort for dinner.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Anusara Luxury villas; City: Ubud Gianyar Regency Bali; Review: We stayed in the honeymoon villa which had an amazing jungle view, private pool and outdoor shower. A lot of space and just a very nice villa. Also with only 8 villas its a very quiet place. We enjoyed staying outside Ubud and the hotel offers a free shuttle. It's a very tranquil and private experience with an attentive staff who also were helpful in organising transport from the airport and our hike to Mount Batur. Would definitely recommend the indonisian breakfast. Improvements could be to offer 2 sunbeds per villa.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Royal Beach Seminyak Bali MGallery Collection; City: Seminyak Kuta District Bali; Review: We had 5 nights at The Royal Beach Seminyak. We stayed in a deluxe room facing the garden which was spacious and with a nice quiet view out on the garden. There are 2 pool areas, where one is adult only. This is a nice feature which provides a possibility for true relaxation at the pool. The service is attentive and also the breakfast has a large variety. The food in the hotel is OK but you can find better in the many restaurants in the city. So make sure you go out and try it. We found the beach front a bit dull and of a lower standard than the rest of the hotel. Especially with the beautiful scene right at the door step they should remove all that stuff that blocks the view and just upgrade the area to look nicer and at the same level as the rest of the place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: King Rocks Men's 12" Full Throttle Harness Boots; Brand: King Rocks; Review: It is hard finding boots that fit, especially when buying them online. I used to buy Xelement boots, but now they only make them size 8 and up. I gave Dingo boots a try but they were too loose and the leather was really thin in the shaft, so I figured out that I would give King Rocks Boots a try. I have a small and narrow foot and always end up have the boots fit too loose, but I have to say "King Rocks boots fit very well, they are snug but not too snug and my heel does not slip up and down when walking. The price is also very reasonable compared to other brands out there. I'm actually wearing them today because I road my bike to work and so far I am very happy with them and they seem to be well made, not so thin in the shaft like the pair Dingo boots that I tried first.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: The Kill Order (Maze Runner, #0.5); Author: James Dashner; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Honestly, I did not like this book at all. No matter how much I tried, I could just not get into it. I ended up leaving the book about half way through, and as much as I prefer not to do that, I just didn't like it. I think the fact that the characters were not the same was the primary reason to me not enjoying it. If they were the same then I think I would have been able to get into it much more easily.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Girl Online (Girl Online, #1); Author: Zoe Sugg; Genres: fiction, young-adult, romance; Review: I love the storyline of this novel so much! Penny's anxiety in Sugg's novel shows what really happens behind the scenes of someone suffering from this, and shows how traumatic something like this can be. I love the romance that springs out in the least likely times happen, on the most unlikely girl. I feel that the book can really give teenagers confidence when they need it, as good things do come from the bad.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Girl Online Going Solo (Girl Online, #3); Author: Zoe Sugg; Genres: fiction, young-adult, romance; Review: I loved the third Girl Online novel just as much as the previous two! The books are based on an exciting storyline (which means you don't want to put it down, hence the fact I finished it within a day [thank god for the Christmas holidays!]), filled with romance, friendship and all the other struggles of being a teenager in this modern day and age (although not all of us have dreamy, rock-god boyfriends!). As I said in the review of Girl Online: On Tour Penny's anxiety shows us how teenagers cope with fears from everyday things, and I believe it can really bring some sort of confidence to young people. With panic attack and stage fright tips, the novel may give teens assurance that good things do come from the bad, as well as courage and determination to not be afraid from these things and learn that you can help the battle, to give a sense of new found self- confidence.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Harry Potter and the Cursed Child (Harry Potter, #8); Author: John Tiffany; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Although I liked the storyline, I feel it added to the Harry Potter series in a negative way. I feel as if the series was complete and didn't necessarily need the extra about the children. I was unsure of how easily I would read it since it is a script, however I needn't have worried. The format was easy to get into, however I feel I would have enjoyed it more if it was a proper book with more detailed descriptions. ***CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS*** I love how Draco was brought into the storyline and the friendship between Albus and Scorpio. I do feel that Harry was a bit of an idiot though, especially when talking to Albus. All in all, I did enjoy the book and will certainly re-read at some point in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fangirl; Author: Rainbow Rowell; Genres: fiction, young-adult, romance; Review: I love almost everything about this book! The storyline, the characters, Simon Snow (really wish this was a real book!), however I feel I would prefer more closure at the end. I know, I probably sound like a weirdo, but I feel as if it wasn't completely finished. Although I know there is a sequel, it's based on Simon and Baz and not Cath and Levi. It did take me a few chapters to get into the book, but that may have just been because I was quite busy when I initially started. I will defiantly read Carry On, and I've heard good things about Rowell's other books so I will continue to read her work; Fangirl was brilliant. I just felt that I could have used a bit more closure on Cath and Levi :) I would recommend this book to teens who may be a bit introverted or have anxiety, and who love a good romance thrown in too; I really related to Cath and am still wishing for Cath and Levi's relationship :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1); Author: Cassandra Clare; Genres: young-adult, romance, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: I loved it! I would definitely recommend to young adult fiction lovers, and I can't wait to read the next books in the series!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: Pousada De Sao Tiago; City: Macau; Review: We stayed in the hotel in October 2004 which is one of the best season in Macau. Before turning into a hotel, it was a fortress.

Title: NH Sevilla Plaza de Armas; City: Seville Province of Seville Andalucia; Review: We took a taxi from the train station for 6 euro, which wasnt that bad. The hotel is approximately 10-15 mins walk from the shopping center and the Catheral. The room was clean and cozy. The receptions were helpful but their English was not very fluent, so you have to guess what they were trying to tell you. Other than that, the hotel was quite nice.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel Cotai Central; City: Macau; Review: We checked in at the hotel around 2:30pm, but it took me more than 3 hours to run back and forth from the reception, the concierge, and the shrekfast front desk. I paid my package including the room and breakfast before i departed. But everyone i approached said the shrekfast didnt show up in the computer and wasnt able to issued me the voucher. I ended up have to call my travel agent, who told me not to pay them because i paid already. My travel agent had to call Sheraton Hotel to resolve the whole thing. Eventually, the hotel left the shrekfast voucher at our room. It wasnt a nice experience to go through this just to get the shrekfast voucher especially when i paid everything before i departed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Reclamation (The Club Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Lauren Rowe Page; Review: O-M-G! Really? Well didn't see most of the twist and turns of this second book. Reclamation by Lauren Rowe Usually, second books of the trilogy are filler and fluffy. In that they expand on the first book and set up the third. This book did too but it gave so much more also. We delve further into the Sarah/Jonas relationship. Learn more the depth of Jonas's secret brokenness. The story picks up when they arrive back from Belize. only to discover Sarah and Kat's apartments were broken into and ransacked.

Title: The Club (The Club Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Lauren Rowe Page; Review: I loved The Club by Lauren Rowe . With two strong but broken characters both the hero, Jonas, and the heroine, Sarah, this looks like the start of a potentially great series. Sarah works for a match making company that caters to high end clients that matches your serial proclivities with other members. Jonas a wealthy businessman joins The Club. On his application he wrote honestly and finishes with a blurb to his intake agent. This blurb, when read by Sarah, lights a fire within her and she seems him out, against club rules. The flirty banner leads to both being infatuated with one another even before they meet. When they finally meet it is even stronger but their wants and past are mega blockades to happiness. Follow the journey... Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Intriguing! Wildly suspenseful! Shaking my head at it wondering if she can keep it up.

Gavin is a great hero also, Sexy, strong and best of all not perfect. THIS IS A MUST READ PEOPLE!!!! 5 frigging stars!!!! Amazing that this is a first book from an author; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Unrestricted; Author: Kimberly Bracco; Review: I really liked INHIBITIONS and the cliffhanger. But UNRESTRICTED by Kimberly Bracco is even better and is so far the book of the year for 2015. OMG! WOW! We pick up where we left off with Ashley preggers and alone and distraught after Tanner destroyed her by renouncing the baby, accusing her of being a gold digging liar. Tanner is a mess, hurt with her actions, hurt with the loss of her if he is honest with himself. Mad at himself for being played again. Until finally Tanner is made to see that maybe Ashley isn't playing him. Quinn, Alex, his parents all show him his past has blurred his present and future. She hasn't asked for money, wants ZERO to do with him, and refuses to even accept his gift, the BMW, once again driving her clunker of a car and also getting a second job in anticipation of the baby. He tries hard to make her see he was wrong and he is sorry but she wants nothing to do with him. After a night out to a charity benefit and a run in with him, things seem to be looking up. That is until Superbowl Sunday, yes the Jets are in the Superbowl, hey it is fiction LOL, on the best of nights it all turns into a night of utter destruction and chaos. One that will change everyone's life for ever. i cant go into much more but i will say that i NEVER EVER saw what happens coming. I was in utter shock. Grab a bottle of wine, or hard liqour, a box of tissues and get set for a gut wrenching , tear jerking finish. I loved Ashley for her strength and feel for her too with what she goes thru in both books. I love Tanner for being man enough to admit his mistakes and work to correct them. I love Quinn & Alex, everyone needs a BFF like them. MUST READ, my highest recommendation!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Inhibitions; Author: Kimberly Bracco; Review: 4 Smoking Hot Touchdown Scoring Stars Ashley's life lately sucks.

Title: The Redemption (The Club Series) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Lauren Rowe Page; Review: Lauren Rowe has hit a home run with her debut trilogy. With the culmination of the trilogy with The Redemption she has ended the series like she started it...with a flourish!!!! We conclude Sarah and Jonas's climb of romance. From email pen pals, to stalker-ish spying, to meeting and the sparks flying and finally to a climactic ending...like that pun?? We start with Anna fighting to survive her attack by a thug from The Club. It brings tons of memories and similar visions back to Jonas. Not only must he fight to stay strong for Sarah but also to keep the demons of the past at bay. When ready they attack head on the defeating The Club and guaranteeing Sarah, Jonas and their friends safety. This leads to lots of little twist and turns and going off plan. The conclusion is masterfully done in that it is not only believable but realistic and not a fantasy. Something this reader loves. I STRONGLY recommend this book and trilogy and I further expect we hear many big things by LAUREN ROWE; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Dark Lure; Author: Visit Amazon's Loreth Anne White Page; Review: I often claim that a novel is much like a roller coaster. A bunch of climbs and plunges all leading to the epic climactic ending to the ride. For me, THE DARK LURE by Loreth Anne White is only the epic final ride, in that the whole novel builds and builds and builds till that pinnacle, that zenith point where the story finally plays out. This book was one long building ride. Tension escalating. Suspense climbing. Your own mind wanting, begging it to read faster so you can know, so you can learn the fate of the characters. The story centers around Olivia West. For all intents and purposes she is a lonely, isolated woman with dark clouds in her past who now runs a ranch in rural Canada. She hides secrets. Deep dark secrets. Over a decade ago she was taken, kidnapped by the Watt Lake Killer. His last victim. She survived. He was caught. He died in prison. Or did he? A newly widowed and former cop, Gage Burton is sure that the man they convicted, Sebastian George, was not the true killer. With failing health and a personal need to make things right. For him. For Sarah. For his soon to be orphaned daughter, Tori. He goes about using Olivia/Sarah as bait, to lure the true killer out. His plan may have worked. Eugene, the true killer, has found her. Sarah. He must finish the hunt. He is ready to end what he couldn't before. Olivia, unknowing of what is coming, goes on about life. Caring for the ranch, her boss, a dying elderly man named Myron McDonough, who he himself is estranged from his son and daughter. As his health fails Olivia takes it on herself to alert the kids of his impending demise. Cole McDonough is a novelist, who followed danger and wrote about it. Until his antics put in danger his girlfriend and her son. Now he drowns his sorrows in booze and women in Southern Florida. When he takes a call that rocks his world. He heads home. A place he has been in over a decade. What preceeds from this point it a slow burn of details that illicit the reader to make assumptions, to build their own ideas of what happened, where it will lead but most, if not all, will not summize the true winding road the author takes us on. Surprises abound and make this a magnificent read. I was hooked from the 1st chapter till the last chapter. My only negative thoughts are I wanted to know what happened after. I won't go into what that means. But I want more. More answers to questions I developed that weren't answered. That being said this is a MUST READ!!!!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Man of My Dreams; Author: Visit Amazon's Faith Andrews Page; Review: Mia Had a crush on Noah all throughout high school. Never did anything to facilitate anything and went off to college unfulfilled. In college she meet the man of her dreams, Declan. Sexy, talented and sweet they fall in love, marry, and have 2 kids all before they hit 25. Declan was a virgin when they met. Now married, with a career, a family and tons of responsibilities. Away on a business trip comtemplating his life and the lack of passion between him and his wife, Mia, lately he meets a hot masseuse at the bar of his hotel. She tells him to meet her tomorrow, giving him her room key. When Mia talks about wanting him home sooner, the kids miss you, he construes it as she misses him helping not she missed him. He does something he shouldnt and when Mia finds out she is shattered and tosses him out. A well timed 10 yr High School reunion brings Noah into the picture again and this time Mia will make damn sure he knows her feeling. But what if Declan aint ready for it to be over. Will he fight for the woman he loves, his family, his life. Will she be willing to forget one huge mistake? What about her and her feeling for Noah now? Has fate finally shone down on them. Faith Andrews did a great job weaving this story line. Me, personally, I couldn't stand Mia, whiny, fantasizing years later about a boy she never even kissed. Declan for cheating. Noah for perusing a married woman WITH kids. But isn't that the amazing thing about literature. We can hate all character's character but yet still be enamored with the book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Keep Me; Author: Visit Amazon's Faith Andrews Page; Review: Really good book. Marcus the playboy, Man whore, underwear model has a habit of hitting it and quitting it, he never dates but that all changes when he runs into his sisters former best friend Tessa. Tessa is back after a messy marriage to an abusive alcoholic husband. This book starts off intriguing pulling you in and ends in a flourish. The budding relationship between Marcus and Tessa is hot and steamy. My only issues are it gets a little dull in the middle but as stated ends in a 'never wanna put the book down' way. Also in the epilogue, no way does that paper get signed. Just saying.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tyrant: King Part 2; Author: Visit Amazon's T. M. Frazier Page; Review: Simply stated...BRILLIANCE! TM Frazier has hit yet another homerun with TYRAMT. We pick up where KING left off. Preppy is dead. Doe learns who she really is. That King knew for a long time. That he cut a deal with her Senator father. That she has a boyfriend and a BABY! King is arrested for kidnapping but the policeman who arrest his is all wrong. He knows jail is the least of his worries. Survival is. Doe is back 'home'. She soon realizes her life wasn't are roses. A distant father who is all about the job. A drunk socialite mother who couldn't care less about her. A clingy boyfriend who she feels nothing for and a baby she don't know but knows she loves. I can't go to much into the plot just know it works and it works blazingly. As Doe learns about her life and starts to remember bits and pieces of it she releases she wasn't happy sans the her son. But also that her past holds secrets that threaten her present and future. Twist and turns abound through out. Emotions taken in different directions sometimes all at once. Just WOW! What a follow up to KING. A must read and great conclusion to King & Doe's story; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Countdown to Killing Kurtis; Author: Visit Amazon's Lauren Rowe Page; Review: Lauren Rowe is an amazing writer, point blank and period! After loving THE CLUB series, a romance trilogy she has gone with her talent and ventured to the dark side. No not the Darth Vader dark side. The dark side of romance writing. Countdown to Killing Kurtis is a gritty yet whimsical novel about some less then nice characters that you can't help but fall in love with. The story spans the lead, Charlene WIlber aka Buttercup Bovier's life from childhood to her 20s. Charlene grew up in a bad situation as a child. Her mom is a raging alcoholic, her dad a delusional narcissist. He believes everything is beneath him and everyone. After an argument with his wife he splits and tells Charlene he will back for her after he strikes it rich in Hollywood. Charlene having been "home schooled" by her dad will do anything she needs to, to be with him. And boy oh boy do I mean anything. Fast forward to the semi present and we have Charlene heading to Hollywood where she changes her appearance to look like her idol, Marilyn Monroe and meeting porn king Kurtis Jackman. He promises her the world by saying he wants to make a movie for her, especially after he learns of her good ole church, god fearing upbringing, LOL. The ride from there to the epic and i do mean EPIC conclusion is a wild one, twist, turns, deceit, lies and slight of hand at who is what. As in those you hate, you will love and those you love you will hate. My only negative thing about this book is the voice of Buttercup. She is a texas girl who speaks in many, many, twangy, annoying southern sayings. Now I am from New York so I am sure most others would hate a book in my New York accent of fuggedaboutit and how you doin. BUT while I see her twang as a negative it makes you feel like you are really in the brain of Buttercup so is it really negative if that was the intention of the author. NO. 5 STARS. definitely recommend this for those readers who like a twisted romance.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wrath: Wrong book 2 - Kindle edition; Author: Visit Amazon's LP Lovell Page; Review: Warning. The beginning of this book is dark. Torturous. But oh so brilliantly written. Tor has been taken by Joe and is being broken and tortured by him in hopes of drawing Jude out of hiding. Raped, branded, beat. She is broken. Her will to live is forgotten, she is ready to die. Jude is frantic to find Joe and save Tor, the woman he loves. But in love, we make mistakes and lose our focus and he is doing just that in his quest to find her. Joe makes it worse by sending videos to him showing him what he is doing. When a shocking twist occurs, Jude is broken. His hatred is no longer a fire but an inferno. When he finally finds Tor, he worries she may never be 'alive' again. She is dead inside. She wants nothing more then to die. Her only redeeming hope is to avenge what has been done to her. This one wild f***ing ride. From the opening, which is the darkest I have read in a long time, to the search, the rescue, the rebuilding of Tor, to finding Joe and getting retribution, to the conclusion. This is a great Dark Genre read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: When Fate Isn't Enough (When Fates Collide); Author: Visit Amazon's Isabelle Richards Page; Review: Well, Isabelle Richards' didn't fall into the proverbial sophomore slump with this follow up to When Fates Collide. This one was amazing in its own right! Lily and Gavin are back and this book is as good as ever. After harrowing few months with kidnapping, beatings, having to find money to pay of cartels, the mob. Lily has escaped to England to be with Gavin. Across the pond she still has issues with the mob and the cartel but now she has added issues with Olivia, the friend of Gavin who wants more then he will ever give her. She is unhinged and desperate and you know that means trouble for poor Lily. Can't this girl catch a break Ms Richards. (Kidding). Dealing with the Olivia bull crap and her insecurities she has and dealing with everything Gavin, she learns that her friend and ex roomie, Max, an undercover Fed, has lost contact with his handlers. Lily being bad ass calls in favors and will need to risk it all to save her friend, while at the same time risking it all and potentially losing Gavin in the process. Ladies and gents, this is another home run and the cliffhanger is so crazy that you NEED book three immediately. The cartel never leaves loose ends. We need book three, NOW!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: When Fates Align (When Fates Collide) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Isabelle Richards Page; Review: Well with the lead in from the cliffhangers of book 2, When Fate Isn't Enough, we knew book three would be a barn burner. We ended book two with the cartel tying up loose ends. Killing Mob boss,Zo, taking out the hierarchy of the cartel she was on good terms with killing Lily. But as we know, but Gavin and the rest are yet to find out, is Lily is alive. They killed Olivia, who has been in Gavin's apartment to kill Lily but in the process ran a foul of the cartel. The thugs realizing the could pass the dead girl off as Lily and sell Lily for big dollars take her and the craziness begins. Gavin is destroyed as are Max, Em and the rest of the friends she has made. Gavin has declared war! His objective is to annihilate the cartel who took Lily from him. He calls in his military friends and off book goes about their plans to destroy those who took Lily from him. But alas mid-plan he learns Lily isn't dead, or more like may not be dead. His priority is now to find Lily. Lily is bad ass! She once again saves herself kind of. Now her sites will be set on taking down the cartel and saving her husband's son who he had with his stripper whore baby momma and also a warehouse full of kidnapped sex slaves waiting to be sold. All at risk to her life. Isabelle Richards delivers an amazingly fast paced, awesome conclusion to her trilogy. She may be a force to be reckoned with it this is how her mind work. Amazing work for an authors first three books.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hard Love (The Hacker Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Meredith Wild Page; Review: The conclusion to the Hacker series. I love Meredith Wild's writing style. This book missed a 5 star favorite due to a less then amazing climactic conclusion. This felt like an epilogue novel more then the last book in a series. That being said, I loved this series. Erica and Blake are now married. When they return from a honeymoon in Europe the proverbial crap has hit the fan. Daniel, her estranged father, is believed to have won the election by it being rigged. Blake is the #1 person of interest. The Feds seem to have a sore spot for him and aren't seeming to look anywhere else. When Blake refuses to confront who they believe is the real culprit, Trevor, Erica takes it on her own to prove her man innocent. She can't go life alone. Not now. Not when she is pregnant. We get a plot of Erica trying to clear Blake and Blake fighting to realize he needs to fight for those he loves and that includes fighting for himself.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Malevolent (The Darkness Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Cassia Brightmore Page; Review: I really liked Malevolent by Cassia Brightmore. A first time reader of her work I was pleasantly surprised by her 1st book. Gwyn is on the run from a bad boyfriend, she ends up in a quaint quiet town. Meeting a sweet woman who owns a diner, offers her a job and an apartment. She falls into the homeliness of the town. Unknown to Gwyn, Sheriff Brady is investigating a horrible murder of a young girl. Taken tortured and raped. When she meets the hot sexy sheriff in the diner sparks fly. Her need to stay away from men is put to the test. Instant lust, chemistry. As they become friendly her walls come down. But there is still a deranged killer on the loose and another girl is taken. There are so many twist and turns in this book. Cassia Brightmore weaves a book where you will be questioning every person as a possible suspect. I mean EVERYONE!!!!! I was riveted page to page. Warning there are very DARK scenes so be weary if you don't like that type of stuff. My only knock was the ending felt rushed. It was climactic but I wish it was dragged out just a little more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Darkness Falls (Darkness Series) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's J.L. Drake Page; Review: WOW! Is all I can say. What a thrilling conclusion to the Darkness series. JL Drake has a way of building the characters where you believe they are both innocent and guilty, good and bad, throughout the book. Seth and Emily's wild ride is coming to the end and what a ride it was. We learned that Avery was, is Lasko's brother. That was shocking. But nothing close to what we learn and what will happen in Darkness Falls. A master manipulator, maybe better then his brother, Avery is set for revenge. Revenge for what though? Trust me it is a doozy! All the while Seth, the alpha stud cop and Emily the strong recuperating hotty try to piece life back together until the poop hits the fan once again. I have loved both series I have read by JL Drake. Darkness was amazing and dark and well plotted with interestingly build characters and if you haven't read it, check out her Broken series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Testing the Submissive: The Story & Confessions of a Masochist; Author: Visit Amazon's Al Daltrey Page; Review: To say this was extreme is an understatement!!!! Abby is a masochist, a severe one at that. Pimped to others by her mentor, Lewis. The BDSM and sex are extreme. This makes 50 shades look like pin the tail on the donkey. It had me intrigued and hooked... and I'm not one for the more S&M type stuff. Definitely recommended if you like it a little hardcore!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Condo With Two Views: The Domination of Chloe; Author: Visit Amazon's Al Daltrey Page; Review: Al Daltry rocked this take on the BDSM relationship. Told in alternating POV's of Chloe and Jack, a married couple but also a Master/sub couple as well. We see the view of each person on the same scene. This is done beautifully in that it just a switch of views but also an interesting look into the mindset of each person. We get taken through there sexual and normal life and see what each sees in each particular setting. The sex scenes and BDSM scenes are hot steamy and raunchy and we get to see and feel what both sides are feeling. I highly recommend this book to ALL lovers of the BDSM genre.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Heart Of Marley; Author: Visit Amazon's T.K. Leigh Page; Review: Simply, near perfect novel. I read of Heart of Light, gave it 3.5/4 stars. This book, was huge step better. I mean I was riveted from page one and only withdrew deeper into the pages as I read along. This a prequel to Heart of Light kind of. It is Cameron's story. Marley is his twin sister and his heart and soul. They have lived a s***ty life. Their dad died. When they were eight Marley was abused sexually, mentally and physically. Their drugged out mom, not help. When Cam finally cant take more he takes a stand that leads to things changing. The abuser shot. The mom is jail too. They get sent to live with their aunt and uncle but that has its own draw backs. Sure there is no abuse, but their is also no help, as they uncle is a pastor and the aunt a society belle, making matter worse they stick Marley into pageants constantly. You know the ones where the treat kids like eye candy sex toys! For every steo Marley takes forward, she always seems to take two steps back. When she connects with Doug, she sees her chance at being 'normal' or what she perceives as such. But parts or her psyche and past come back to haunt her and Cam does as much as he can to help. While this is Cam's book it plays as both his and Marleys. When the book starts to reach the climactic point you will be shocked, stunned , speechless, tearing, crying and distraught. Trust me. 5+++++ stars.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Infatuation: Josh and Kat Part I (The Club Series) (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Lauren Rowe Page; Review: Josh and Kat are here!!!! and WOW!!!!!! The Infatuation is book #5 in the Club series and is Josh and Kat's book (1 of 3 for them). What is great about Lauren Rowe the author, besides her talent for great characters and fast paced, intriguing plot lines is....She releases the trilogy quickly, This book, #5 is released today 1/5, book #6, The Revelation releases next week 1/12, and book #7, The Consummation, will be released 1/19. That's right, 3 books, 3 full novels, released in 3 weeks, not over the course of a year. As a lover of The Club series by Lauren Rowe I eagerly awaited these spin off characters. In The 1st four club books Josh and Kat are secondary to Jonas and Sarah. I have to be honest here, I think I LOVE Josh and Kat more then eccentric Jonas and bad ass Sarah. The story start mid Club series, when Jonas calls Josh to help take down the Club right after Sarah and Kat's apartments have been ransacked. Josh is nicknamed the Playboy by Kat on their first meeting, she is in turned nicknamed The Party Girl. They seem like an explosion waiting to happen. But when Kat learns that Josh was a member of the Club and an active participating, a lot, member her infatuation with reading the application leads to plenty of pent up frustrations on both parties. Josh is the playboy and he lives up to it. After what he has been through who wouldn't be. Sometimes he needs to let of steam and let loose, the Club, was one of those times. Now, he is attracted to Kat, who he thinks is hottest woman he has ever seen and that says a lot. But...he isn't the type to share his secrets and is adamant that he won't let Kat read that application. Kat is so attracted to Josh from the start but comments by him and that application are red-ish flags that she needs lowered before she will open herself up to him and her needs. He makes it hard with his actions, his sexiness and his damn body. We get in this book a ton of steamy near miss opportunities as they both make it a game and neither is willing to give in to the other. I love Lauren Rowe's writing I loved the Club series, I loved her dark genre book Countdown to Killing Kurtis (which was AWESOME), and so far with The Infatuation, with Josh & Kat, I am sucked in, locked and loaded for the rest of the series; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Revelation: Josh and Kat Part II (The Club Series) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Lauren Rowe Page; Review: I am sorry to Jonas and Sarah, bad asses in their own way, but Kat and Josh are even more amazing, enticing characters. The Revelation is just that. Kat is in her hotel room, in Vegas, with Josh's application. Oh boy! What secrets will it tell? Lets just the sexual tension between these two is palpable. You can feel it in your bones, taste it on your tongue. They part are sexually driven and open. the Yin to his Yang. What Josh feared most Kat didn't get scared off by. If anything she was turned on by it, more so when learning the reasons behind the need. These two are kinky, but not in a "donkey" kind of way. Their sex is hot, spicy, igniting and combustible and then some. They grow closer and closer all while fighting to save the world from the Club. But fears begin to play a part. Kat worries if all this is, is playing on vacation like Josh has intimated. Josh fears Kat wants more then he is willing to open himself too. This is a must read. Kat is strong, opinionated, funny, sexy, while being feminine. Josh is bad ass, while showing strength for others, hotness and being a bad ass he is also a little insecure and doesnt see his real strengths that others see and are drawn too. We still have great supporting characters in jonas and Sarah, Henn and Hannah, Reed, and others. Lauren Rowe is a painter. Her words and the way see lays them on the canvas of the page paint a picture that sucks you in so much you feel like a spectator instead of a reader. One minute you are laughing the next you have tears in your eyes then straight to on the edge of your seat anxiousness. 5 stars, easily. Cant wait till the final book, The Consummation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: LUCA (You Will Be Mine) (The Sicilian Mafia Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Jaimie Roberts Page; Review: 3.5 stars Jaimie Roberts has released steamy mafia based romance. Clara is a brothel owner, with parental issues, Luca is a mobster who possibly wants her business besides wanting her. Clara runs her brothel but in a friendly way, she cares for her girls, is there for her girls, looks out for her girls. So when Luca sends his goons to intimidate her she rebukes them. The next day Luca himself comes a calling. She sends her girls to safety. But is now a captive in her own home, an old Castle. She is drawn to Luca, he is blatant in his wants for her. She tries to fight it but his pull is to much. I love Jaimie Roberts books. But this one wasn't didn't score a home run with me. while the sexual tension and in suing sex is hot steamy and alpha/dominant. There are plot holes. She owns a brothel but has no security? She fell a little to fast and hard for her "captor". Luca is a total alpha but he is mobster with a heart of gold to her and her girls. As a male, I need realism and that didn't ring through to me. That being said the story still flows the secondary characters are intriguing and developed and the antagonistic points and characters lend interest to the story. I will definitely give book #2 a read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Live Me (Pieces of Broken) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Celeste Grande Page; Review: This was a debut novel? Really? Well then I am a fan for sure cause if you only get better the more you write this author is set to be huge and I want to say I knew her when! While I will admit for me this started slow, it was well worth sticking it out. The story was captivating the characters defined and built in a way you like, love or hate them as the author means. Evangelina Ricci is our heroine, she has a dark secret she has hidden from everyone except he best friend, Jace. Now they have run away from home to college and her hope is to be normal and not live her nightmare past anymore. Our hero is Blake Turner. Usually the hero is flawed but in this case his is a strong representative of what a hero, a man should be. Even Jace the best friend has admirable qualities, my main issue with him is he knows her secrets and has done nothing to help. Sure he was there for her but he could have, no he should have done more. Evangelina, called Eva by her friends at school, but Angel by Blake, hides herself and her dark past from everyone. After she meets Blake at a party she was dragged to he seems to be everywhere. As they grow closer as 'friends' we see there is much more, he wants more, but she will need to lower her defenses to let that happen. As she lowers her walls she sees the goo, the bright side, of life. But when things are going good, or great, isn't always the way that 'it' always hits the fan. What a debut. I cant wait to see what is next in this series and especially by this author. Bravo Celeste Grande!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Consummation: Josh and Kat Part III (The Club Series) (Volume 7); Author: Visit Amazon's Lauren Rowe Page; Review: Lauren Rowe is one of my favorite authors. I have loved everything she has written. She may take a vacant spot on my "Mount Rushmore" of authors [King, Patterson, Hoover have the 1st 3]. Her books are steamy, sweet, suspenseful, witty and everything in between. The Consummation is the conclusion of Josh & Kat's story and The Club series. When I started there story I didn't think it possible that they could surpass Jonas and Sarah...but they did! Josh is loyal, put everyone 1st, partying manwhore. Kat is the witty, ballsy, badass hot chick with a heart of gold. Nicknamed the Playboy & the Party Girl for a reason. When a family emergency strikes Kat it is then she unveils her secret to Josh and to say Josh took it well, well would be an understatement. When he realizes his mistake and tries to rectify it she won't let him so he pulls out the big guns to prove to her how much the baby and even more, she, means to him. Then how he seals the final deal is over the top romantic and EPIC This is an tremendous conclusion to one of my all time favorite series. MUST READ SERIES; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Honor (Blackstone Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's J.L. Drake Page; Review: JL Drake spinoff series from the Broken trilogy is off to a smashing success! HONOR, book #1 in the BLACKSTONE series is fast passed, action filled, steamy romance. Mark Lopez, who was the funny sexy secondary character in Broken series is the lead here. He is hardened, loyal soldier with a dark past and darker demons. He meets the heroine, Mia Harper, a nurse, after a harrowing mission south of the border. He hides his past, she hides a secret. His life is hard to deal with, she has a lot of loss in her life and a father who is disapproving of her career choice. From the get go, there is sizzle. I will say I didn't get the kismet connection I felt with Cole and Savi in Broken series but there a draw between these too. As they develop a relationship they have to hurdle a multitude of obstacles, a flirty doctor, an ill patient, his missions, a dark basement, her secret, his past. The missions in this book are epic and I was glued to the words as I read. There are many twist, some easy to guess, others that blindsided me. JL Drake is a master at Suspense and Romance. I highly recommend HER and any of her books. This one included.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Same/Difference; Author: Visit Amazon's DD Lorenzo Page; Review: I have read the 1st three books of the series and loved them all. I have said many times that Marisol is maybe my favorite villain of all time in books. I cant wait till her book which is next (book five). Now on to this book, SAME/DIFFERENCE. Falcon is a bad ass, part owners in the security corp. Paige is scarred from a past incident. While she is outgoing she is also hidden. She only shows others what she is willing. But for some reason with Falcon her defenses always weaken. He makes her feel more then she believes she is. Their connection while strong is hard to remain connected. You have his job that takes him away for long stretches. Her insecurities. Throw in my fave gal, Marisol and her hubby, their villainous ways and Marisol's need for power, control and retribution. We are in for a wild ride. I love Ms Lorenzo's writing style, there is no insta-love. Sure we get the instant connections but she builds the characters, the want, the attraction to a point that we feel the lust the love the want. I love when authors aren't eager to give us what we want. Make us work for it, to get what the story is bound to go. I recommend this WHOLE SERIES to readers who love romances with a touching of twisted evil villains and plot lines.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Soulless (King) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's T.M. Frazier Page; Review: We pick up with Bear in jail taking the fall for Thia. He has plans in the works but he has to keep them secret from her and in doing so she begins to think she needs to do something to free Bear. This is an epic conclusion to Bear/Thia storyline. The dead parents, the iffy ex best friend, Bear's dad and the MC. Hell, his dead mom even makes and appearance, held captive by his father. When all comes to an end we are give a huge shocking discovery that has left most of my friends and myself utterly speechless. I am a stalker fan of TM Frazier's books. I get them as the come out, I have yet to be like, eh that was ok. Each book is great. The characters refreshing and built of depth, so we can connect to something with in them. I just LOVE her. HUGE recommend to ALL; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hook (The Duplicity Duet) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Elisabeth Grace Page; Review: WOWSER!!!!! What an ending to a great beginning to the series. Brandi is a high end escort in Las Vegas, that's her working name anyway. Before you judge her you need to read the book and learn her story. A teen mother with no help from her miserable family she is alone to fend for herself. Now she has a special needs child who is her world and she is doing anything and everything to give him what he needs to have a happy life. Including selling her body to pay for his care. She doesnt date, she has no true friends other than her son's nurse and her outcall body guard. Enter rich, dapper, sexy as all hell 'john', Marco Valenti. He is polar opposite of her other johns. First the sight of him sparks long dormant tingles within her, second he acts different, there 1st few dates don't go exactly as planned and he still pays, thirdly when the s*** hits the fan he steps up in a way most johns, no...no john would. As they spend more time together her hooker walls that protect her and her son start to crumble and his walls of secrecy crumble albeit a lot slower, that is until the EPIC and I do mean EPIC ending to book one that makes me wish release day was tomorrow!!!! MUST READ for plot twist lovers. For Contemporary romance lovers, for erotica lovers. For the bad boy bad girl love story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: All the Rage; Author: Visit Amazon's T.M. Frazier Page; Review: I dunno if I have told you but I love T.M. Frazier. Her books are dark, twisted, full of suspense, with amazingly built and different characters. I love living within her pages and absorbing the worlds she creates!!! ALL THE RAGE is no different. This is a standalone but Rage and a few mentions of past characters are from previous books. Rage was different as a child. OK lets say it, she is a sociopath, no empathy, no feelings, with a rage to destroy, to kill. Now a young adult...she is doing just that. A hitter for hire. Distanced from her parents, cut off from her only childhood friend, her one acquaintance is Smoke, her mentor. When he gives her a new job, a 'babysitting' gig, she isn't please, but she always does the job. Nolan Archer is the man she has to watch. His pool is a petri dish, his dog no better. His house a dust bowl. But he elicits feelings she has never felt. He has secrets she is hired to learn. AFTER she is forced to save his life by jumping in the cess pool of a pool. Nolan knows from the start that the hot bikini clad enigma, who calls herself Rage is different and through this book he will glimpse just how different she is. He knows she holds within her secrets...well so does he. As the grow closer and closer the decision is is he willing to tell his, to learn hers. I love T.M. Frazier. I read all her books ASAP her style is perfect for my taste. Her characters twisted and dark enough to scratch that untapped place within.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Burn (The Duplicity Duet) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Elisabeth Grace Page; Review: Burn is the epic conclusion to the Duplicity Duet series by Elisabeth Grace. We pick up right where we left off in book #1, Hook. We are seconds after the phone call. After the gun shot. After the death, no, the murder of Daniel, the awesome young son of our heroine, Emily Ross aka Brandi. Emily, understandably, is distraught, her whole world has just imploded. Her son is dead. He, the only reason she hooked. Her reason for existence. Now gone. After a scare separation from reality. She is aware and ready to do what needs to be done to all that are responsible. Even the man she loved, the man she thought loved her, Nico. Who know turns her blood to venom when she looks at him. "Id find out who did. And Id make them pay. With their lives. Even if it cost me my own" After being crushed with her new world reality, she is forced to shower and man up. She has a mission to accomplish. "And so I let the fractured pieces of my soul fall apart on my shower floor until the water ran cold, at which point I pieced myself back together. The glue wouldnt hold. I knew that. It didn't need to. It just needed to stick together until Id exacted my revenge" She is going after the man responsible. The men responsible. That means using her asset, herself, to get what she want. She leaves her safe escort boss to go work for the one who will get her access to the man she needs, the one she intends to kill. Thrown back into the life she is trading sex for favors and also having to humiliate herself to get closer to accomplish her goal. At the same time Nico is doing everything, separately and without knowledge of her plan, to ease her pain and extract his own revenge for the killing of a boy he was starting to view as a son, a boy he loved and all for the woman who owns his heart. Wow what a ride, great series, great characters. Epic twist. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Captain (The Morgan Bothers) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Lauren Rowe Page; Review: Ahhhh Lauren Rowe! Again you leave me laughing, horny and satiated with another one of your books. Captain did not disappoint. I loved it from start to end. A standalone. Though I advise reading the Club series and Ball Peen Hammer first so you have a little familiarization with the characters that pepper this book. Plus, those are great reads also. This book centers around Ryan Morgan, on of Kat's brothers [from The Club series] and the gal with many names, Theresa, Tess, T-Dog, Etc. This isn't the way you want to meet the one person who completes you. The one who you are drawn to with more than just lust. A connection you can't put words too. One night Ryan is meeting his future brother in law, Josh, at a bar. He gets a call that Josh can't make it. As he is about to leave he sees a stunning beauty walk in. Dark skin, dark hair, gorgeous. They meet, get to talking, connecting, and just when things are at their brightest his recent ex, the bunny boiler [that will make sense when you read this book] enters the bar and ruins everything. From here we follow a lot of near miss reunions of sorts, the initial reconnect and then the fight to be together and stay together. What. A. Ride!!!!!! You MUST read this book to feel good, get a laugh, and enjoy a story that has you hooked from page one till it ends.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Trigger (Devil's Reach) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's J.L. Drake Page; Review: Dark, fast paced, thrilling MC book from the mind and keys of JL Drake. Trigger was raised by the devil, mentally and physically abused for years. Trained to fight to near death while still in single digits he is now the President of the Devil's Reach MC. This isn't one of those soft, we aren't 1%-ers. They are hardcore. Run drugs. Kill with no thought. That last part something the President cherish and is an expert in. He does three things...leads his brothers in the MC, kills those who threaten them and bang whores. When his VP Brick brings in a new bartender, Tessa, his best friend. Things are about to change. A man who doesn't love. Doesn't care. Doesn't worry. Is about to do all three. She ignites things in herself she thought long dead and something in him he believed he never could feel. Their are two rival MC's and a host of other potential villains and to make matters worse, a mole. As they grow closer more and more things start to go down. People will die. Bonds will be tested and lives will be at risk. I was given an ARC and I have to say this is what a real 1%er MC is really like. I been around a few. This is balls on accurate to the true hardcore crews. Trigger was dark and evil. Tessa is broken with secrets. Well written, great characters and a fast paced twist and turning storyline. ADD THIS TO YOUR TBR Now...Go, don't wait. You do it yet? No, go. I ain't kidding. Move it!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

It is ALSO one of my favorites books I have read....period. Author Lauren Rowe doesn;t pull punches. She gives us deep characters and story lines that ring true to us, the reader. You sometimes get so wrapped up in her words you feel like a fly on the wall watching it play out and not a reader reading a book. Zooey Cartwright, who you just love for her strength and personality, is going to UCLA and she is sure of one thing, she is ready to shed her virgin label and quickly. With the help pf her roommates thoughts she decides on a "badboy" who will hit it and quit it and will likely be great at it. Enter Tyler Caldwell, the bad boy in question, he is eager to help...till he learns she is a virgin and all she gets is a make out session. She will be happy to never see him again but alas fate is a fickle bitch and they have classes together. They soon strike a deal and Tyler is checking off the boxes on her discovery of sex. The question is can she keep her heart out of it? He has said he can't do attachments. Can he? Lauren Rowe is a MUST READ author. From thriller romance [The Club series] to darker romance [Countdown to killing Kurtis] to just pure romances like Captain and Ball Peen Hammer.

Title: Hero: The Morgan Brothers (The Morgan Bothers) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Lauren Rowe Page; Review: I been a fan of Lauren Rowe from the start (The Club). With each book this woman gets better and better. Her characters are fresh, deep and have their own voices. This book by far is my favorite. The fire fighting scene near crippled me. The love story made me yearn for my own. I recommend this to ANYONE who loves GREAT WRITING. GREAT CHARACTERS. A GREAT STORY. Though Colby and the fire and his injuries are alluded to in The Club series, this can be read as a standalone. The first few chapters detailing with the fire and Colby's heroism is so life like and real I was literally and figuratively sweating and holding my breath!!!! When he awakes in the hospital he sees an angel from god in the form of Lydia Decker. She sneaks in to see the hero fireman and knows as soon as she does she has to work on making him whole again. See she is a physical therapist within the hospital. This is a love story of epic proportions but the story itself raises the book to truly top ten all time story type ratings. The fire, the characters, the love story, you get all the feels!!! Crying, laughing, swooning, I am a straight guy and I LOVE COLBY!!!!! It is rare but Lauren Rowe gets better with each book. I can't wait to see where she takes us next. 5 stars MUST READ EPIC LOVE STORY; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Demons (Devil's Reach) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's J.L. Drake Page; Review: Sweet baby Jesus! Can this woman do no wrong. Her books get better and better with each new release. DEMONS is no different. Book #2 in the Devil's Reach series and man o' man what a read. Tess is back "home" with an evil mother, a sick stepfather/ex whatever you want to call him. Trigger is pissed, lost and angry wanting to know where she is and how to get to her? This book is twist after twist. Trigger loves Tess but only he doesn't know that he does. She is the good, while the rest of his life is the evil and man can he get his evil on!!!! Tess loves Trigger but to protect him and her new friends she gives herself up to her past. She is a true heroine type character, one of my pet peeves is weak heroines that we are told are strong women, but we read and their actions and character are not strong. Tess....she is bad ass! Strong, broken, giving, loving. Author JL Drake may be a Demon with the ending she gives us in each book. This one made me moan and groan. I was thinking WTF no no no finish. Don't leave me this way!!!!! When is book #3 coming out cause I need it yesterday!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: The Boys Volume 3: Good For The Soul Limited Edition (Boys (Hardcover)); Author: Visit Amazon's Garth Ennis Page; Review: The Boys Vol. 3: Good for the Soul The Boys just haven't been the same since Book 1, Name of the Game. Moving the comic from DC to Dynamite seems to have reduced its quality and momentum noticebly, to the point where the wicked humor just feels forced and lifeless. There seems to be little overall vision to the tale; instead, a bunch of stuff happens. The story is flat (few genuine shocks or surprises), the love stories go on and on, the dialogue is limp, and the art looks hastier and hastier. If I were Ennis, I'd just give this one up.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Fiorenza B B; City: Florence Tuscany; Review: We stayed here for two nights in early February. We turned up without booking, thanks to a 'just see how it goes' type road trip. They were very accommodating and we got to choose what room we stayed in. We chose to stay in the double with en suite. The rooms, ours in particular, are just brilliant! They all feel like your own room in a traditional Italian house. We were given a comprehensive map that included bus routes (and where to buy the tickets) and restaurants, which for our unplanned nature was perfect! It is very obvious that they are proud of their city and want to ensure that visitors get to experience the magnificent Florence. Even during breakfast we got to talk to Eleanor about what we had done and what we plan to do. We didn't get to explore the beautiful grounds of this place, but we will on our many future trips back!

Title: Hangzhou International Youth Hostel; City: Hangzhou Zhejiang; Review: Boasting an unbeatable location on the edge of the famed Xihu Lake and situated in a neighborhood with great cafes and galleries, accommodation at the hostel comes at a steal. We stayed in a double room, a charming space with a sloped ceiling, skylight and cheery yellow-painted walls. We also had a private bathroom, which was well-appointed as far as Chinese toilets go. In our opinion, a private room at the hostel probably offers better value and quality than most rooms at mid-range hotels across the country. The room also came with breakfast vouchers at the hostel's cafe, a well-run coffee joint on the ground level. Service at the front desk though, was a tad slow and could've been better.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Dalian; City: Dalian Liaoning; Review: For the kind of prices you pay at the hotel, you expect top rate service. Unfortunately, my experience here was all but good. It all started out as I arrived. My taxi pulled up in the driveway, and I thought, ah nice, modern building - not bad. It ended there. There were three bell hops/valets in sight but they seemed more interested in everything else but holding the taxi door open for me and helping with my bags. This happened to other guests as well so it wasn't a random encounter. To be fair, the front desk reception was decent (but I wouldn't expect less of a Hilton). The restaurant was unbelievable expensive, especially when you live in China and know exactly how much food here really cost. Service was also a tad bit slow and it took them almost 10 minutes to bring my check even though I was the only one in the restaurant. In-room wifi was advertised as 'included' in the room cost but I was charged 100RMB. I wouldn't mind paying that 100RMB, except that the internet speed was unbelievably slow. The hotel is located in a neighborhood undergoing heavy construction, and is constantly dirty and dusty. It is also a distance from the town centre and you need a taxi to get to the restaurants and bars. Overall, not my ideal accommodation and I have definitely stayed in cheaper and better accommodations in China.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Jinjiang MetroPolo Hotel Classiq Shanghai Peoples Square; City: Shanghai; Review: Formerly known as the YMCA, the Marvel Hotel is located in a stately, historic building, within walking distance of a couple of key tourist sights. Taxi drivers won't recognise the 'Marvel' name so make sure you refer to the hotel as the 'YMCA'. Overall, it's really not a bad hotel, given its price range and good location. The rooms have all been refurbished and are well-appointed with modern furnishings. They're a little small but not uncomfortably so, and definitely ideal for a couple days of stay. Marvel's staff are friendly and helpful - I had to courier something to Beijing and they took care of this quickly and hassle-free. The bell-hops are also always on hand to find you a taxi. This is one hotel I would return to, especially if I were in Shanghai on a personal trip and was footing the hotel bill myself.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kimi Ryokan; City: Toshima Tokyo Tokyo Prefecture Kanto; Review: Kimi Ryokan offers value-for-money accommodations in an expensive city. It's clean, comfortable and staffed by warm and helpful staff. Like most Japanese ryokans, Kimi provides house slippers and Yukatas (Japanese house robes) for its guests. You really can't ask for more at that price. Our only complaint are the thin walls. We were located right next to the common bathroom and were waken by other guests using the bathrooms late at night or early in the mornings. Request for a room on the other end of the building. The inn is located close to the Ikebukuro Station, a major transport hub with several connecting subway lines so that made traveling to various parts of Tokyo very convenient.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Suzhou Mingtown Suzhou Youth Hostel; City: Suzhou Jiangsu; Review: Situated along a picturesque canal lined with cobblestone pavements, the hostel is great for first-time leisure visitors to Suzhou who want to be located near the tourist sights and don't mind the kitschy tourist neighbourhood of Pingjiang Street. We were a little disappointed by the cramped and dark (there was only a single uncovered bulb suspended from the ceiling and a small, rather ineffective table lamp) double room we were assigned to. Our private bathroom also smelled, as do most bathrooms in older Chinese buildings across the country, but fortunately, we spent very little time in the room. Wifi is also intermittent and only works in the lobby area. On the flip side, the hostel is down the street from great cafes, restaurants and teahouses. There is also a wealth of narrow alleyways and classical Suzhou gardens to explore in the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Jiaotong Hotel; City: Turpan Xinjiang Uygur; Review: We moved to this hotel after a rather unfortunate stay at the Turpan Hotel. While far from perfect, the Traffic Hotel is a much better choice than Turpan Hotel, and we had an adequately comfortable stay. Located by the bus station and the city bazaar, its central location is a boon for most tourists. Good restaurants are hard to come by in this part of town but the nearby night market offers a variety of delicious local food choices. The room and bathroom are clean and quite generic - you get most of what you'll expect out of a three-star hotel. We were told the hotel had undergone a renovation in recent years so the furniture is more well-maintained than most 3-star Chinese hotels we've lived in. The hotel turns off air conditioning from October so you have to open the windows for ventilation. Unfortunately, the hotel is located in a rather busy part of town and the honking of traffic and noises from the nearby bazaar can be a real pain. Breakfast was served in a separate building across from the hotel. Like most Chinese hotels, the breakfast isn't fantastic. It comprised congee and a variety of pickled and plainly-cooked vegetables. If you're not used to Chinese-style breakfast, head to the bazaar next door for fruit and freshly-baked naan instead. Overall, we had no huge complaints about the hotel, perhaps because we had stayed in Turpan Hotel, which in our opinion was far worse than Traffic Hotel, the night before.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Xinjiang Tumaris Grand Hotel; City: Urumqi Xinjiang Uygur; Review: Walking into the lobby of the hotel, you'll be bowled over by the ostentatious Uighur-style architecture of the building, which makes for a great photo souvenir. We arrived at what seemed like the busiest time of the day for the hotel and were made to wait awhile for the reception staff to process our booking. Tumaris is located in the heart of the main Uighur neighborhood and is situated within walking distance of the city bazaar and the Erdaqiao shopping area. The neighborhood is home to a variety of good Uighur restaurants. However, if you're not up to a night in town, the buffet dinner in the lobby restaurant is a steal and offers a wide spread of Uighur food, including cooked-to-order kebabs, for only 59 RMB. Get there early though as the restaurant fills up quickly with locals. After a week of staying in badly-run Chinese hotels in other parts of Xinjiang, Tumaris was a welcome. Our room was clean and well-maintained, although just a tad too dim for our liking. Having stayed at numerous hotels across China, we were pleasantly surprised at how soft the beds were. The pillows are also very comfortable, making for a good night's sleep. Breakfast was a pretty impressive spread by China's standards and featured two sections - a Chinese-style breakfast with the usual pickled vegetable dishes and a non Chinese-style breakfast with Uighur and Western dishes like kebabs, boiled eggs, french fries, bread and fruit.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Turpan Hotel; City: Turpan Xinjiang Uygur; Review: Our itinerary was changed at the last moment and we were booked into this hotel by our tour agent, who had assured us proudly that this was a 3-star hotel. After driving through a long, small road with little street lighting, we pulled up in front of a rather shabby-looking building which had clearly seen better days. The sleepy-eyed receptionist on duty greeted us by coughing without attempting to cover her mouth. So much for first impressions. Our room in the main building was a disappointment. Paint was peeling off the walls, there were dustballs under the table and bed, and only half the lights in the room were working. The bathroom was serviceable with a western-style toilet (thank goodness), but the bathtub was filthy and there were rust spots in places. While the sheets seemed clean, the disposable house slippers looked like they had been worn by the last guests who stayed in our room - there were dirt smudges on the slippers. The hotel's dimly-lit hallways and common areas lent to its bleak and cheerless atmosphere. The hotel is also located some distance from the main tourist area and eateries, making this a very unfriendly option if you don't have a car. The hotel is crawling with Chinese tour groups, which can be noisy especially early in the morning. Breakfast was a dismal spread of congee and variety of pickled vegetables that looked like they came straight from a can or packet from the supermarket down the street. I know not to expect much from accommodations in smaller towns like Turpan, but Turpan Hotel is a clear 'miss', especially given its advertised rack rate of 580rmb per night. It was probably worth only half of that.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Seman Hotel; City: Kashgar Xinjiang Uygur; Review: On first glance, most Western travelers used to 3-4 star accommodations may be a little taken aback at Seman Hotel's shabby front and slightly dirty bathrooms, but after your first night here, you may be grateful that you're living here instead of one of the other hotels in Kashi's Old Town. Seman Hotel has a lot of character, unlike some of the newer options in Old Town. Its beds are softer and more comfortable than Chinese-style beds, shower water was warm at least, and John's Information Cafe is conveniently located on the hotel grounds. Abdul Wahab's Old Road Tours is also located in the hotel lobby so this makes the booking of tours in and around Kashi extremely easy. Staff only speak Uighur and limited Chinese though, so communicating with them may be a hassle. They didn't seem very helpful when we spoke to them in Mandarin but when our guide from Old Road Tours spoke to them in the local language, service seemed a lot faster. Seman Hotel is also a little out of the way and you'll need to catch a taxi to the city centre and other attractions. The only thing that really rankled us was how they got all our laundry mixed up with those of other guests. It's one thing for a shirt to be mistakenly swapped with another guest's but they got our underthings wrong as well. All in, we had a comfortable 3-night stay, taking into account also that accommodation options in a city like Kashi is limited.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Arequipay Backpackers Downtown; City: Arequipa Arequipa Region; Review: I found the hostel a little basic and rough around the edges, especially after having come from Pariwana Lima, which really spoils its guests. Nonetheless, Arequipay Backpackers offers clean and safe (the hostel is located in a gated compound) accommodations. Some upsides: Extremely friendly and helpful reception staff (probably the most personable I've met on my travels throughout South America); Wifi is available throughout the hostel (although the connection in the third level rooms is weak; the hostel is able to organize tours for its guests but proceed at your own risk. My Colca Canyon tour wasn't fantastic but my Countryside bicycle tour was excellent. Some downsides: There isn't enough electrical outlets in the larger dorms to go around; and the hostel is a 15 minutes walk from Plaza de Armas (there are closer hostels to the main square). The nearest ATM is in the town square, so make sure you carry enough cash to pay for your accommodations.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Pisko Soul; City: Cusco Cusco Region; Review: Tucked away in a quiet corner of the artist quarter, San Blas, Pisko & Soul is a welcomed respite from the crowded and touristy Plaza de Armas. The hostel itself is about 5 blocks from the central area. Consider walking to the historic area (it's all downhill) and taking a taxi back (around 4 soles) after a long day of sightseeing. Pisko & Soul's staff are friendly and ever-helpful. They are able to book tours and offer advice on the best restaurants in the area. While waiting for an overnight bus on my last day in Cusco, they even allowed me to shower in one of the common bathrooms after I had checked out and gave me a free towel to use. There are two common areas in Pisko & Soul, offering free hot beverages, books and movies. Hang out here and you'll be sure to meet fellow like-minded travelers. Breakfast is a substantial dish of eggs made-to-order and fresh bread with butter and good quality fruit preserves (not the store-bought variety we know as jam). While the hostel doesn't offer laundry services, there is a wealth of lavandarias around the hostel (some going for as low as 3 soles per kg) that offer same-day wash and fold services. Tip: The rooms facing the street can get noisy as early as 5am.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Don Santiago Hostel; City: Santiago Santiago Metropolitan Region; Review: Don Santiago is a great place for meeting fellow travelers to explore the town with. While the general ages of its guests varies between 20s to 30s, it is not really a party hostel and most guests return by midnight if not earlier, so you can be assured of a good night's sleep here. Rooms are cosy and decorated in bright colours. The hostel is generally quite clean and comfortable. Beware the creaky stairs though, especially if you're returning late at night. The hostel is situated in the heart of the colourful, bohemian and safe neighborhood, Barrio Brasil and is about 10-minutes by foot from two subway stops. There're restaurants, a supermercado and attractions nearby. The only drawback here is the lack of laundry facilities. The nearest lavanderia is about an 8-minutes walk away. I stayed here over New Year and the staff organized an impromptu BBQ on New Year's Eve before everyone ventured onto the Main Street to watch the countdown and fireworks. It was great fun! I know the hostel also held a Christmas gathering and a charity drive to help needy kids. The hostel would've earned a full five stars from me if not for the fact that they got my airport transfer during check-out wrong. My taxi was supposed to arrive at 4am. Instead, I was left waiting for over half an hour with no assurance that any taxis would arrive. At this time of the day, hailing a taxi from the street wasn't an option either.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quechuas Backpackers; City: Puno Puno Region; Review: Located half a block from Plaza Pino and 2 blocks from Plaza de Armas, Quechuas offers backpackers great convenience at a very reasonable price of USD10 per night for shared dorms. A simple breakfast of bread, cereal, fruit and juice is included in this price. Breakfast is served early too, from 6.20am to cater to the Uros Islands daytrippers. I stayed during the low season and was given a twin room to myself even though I paid for a dorm. Water is hot, has good pressure and the beds are very comfortable. The rooftop terrace offers beautiful views of the city. The only downside to Quechuas Backpackers is that some rooms are located on the third and fourth levels and at this altitude, it can be a pain to climb the stairs especially with heavy luggage. There are no elevators in the building.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel El Huacachinero; City: Huacachina Ica Region; Review: Huacachinero is a clean but basic hotel offering all the necessities travelers would expect of any other hotel. On paper it looks good, and comes with a pool and outdoor restaurant area. On closer scrutiny, the water in the pool is a little murky and the restaurant is expensive for Peru's standards. Nonetheless, this is probably one of the nicer accommodation options in Huacachina. Huacachinero offers both private rooms as well as dormitories. Tip: Book your accommodations in Huacachinero and Ica upon arrival as most places are not advertised online, or only a limited number of rooms are placed online for booking.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Willy Fog Hostel; City: Montevideo Montevideo Department; Review: The best thing about Willy Fogg is its location - a couple of blocks from both the sea as well as Plaza Independencia, the hostel is centrally-located. On Sundays, the neighborhood the hostel is in is very quiet, allowing for opportunities to cycle around the central district. Willy Fogg is also near a large supermarket. Rooms are all air-conditioned, although wifi is only available in the common areas. Staff are friendly, even if most don't speak English, and do what they can to get you settled in. That said, the hostel is a little run-down and scruffy. But if you can overlook that, Willy Fogg is a good choice. Breakfast is nothing to write home about and the hostel computers can be slow.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bacoo Hostel; City: La Paz La Paz Department; Review: Offerings are pretty basic here, as are in most hostels in Bolivia. As long as you don't compare amenities with those you find in Peru, Argentina and Chile, you'll be fine. Rooms (and public areas) are clean and tidy but a little run-down. At the least beds are comfortable and the bedding and blankets are sufficiently warm for La Paz's weather. Reception staff are very pleasant and polite. The in-house travel agency is helpful but they mostly sell Spanish-speaking tours. Hot showers were advertised as 24-hours but they run out frequently and you'll need to wait anywhere from 30-60 minutes for the water to be heated. Even then, water is lukewarm at best. The only rooms with private bathrooms are the matrimonial rooms (all dorms share bathrooms, which can get pretty messy and dirty by mid morning). The bar staff is a mix bag. I encountered a couple who were extremely slow and can't speak English, while there were other bar staff who were very friendly and offered great service. A number of items in the menu are not offered. Location-wise, Bacoo is situated about 5 mins from the main commercial street and about 10-15 mins from major attractions. It's also a 3 mins drive (BS10) to the main bus terminal, making this a pretty convenient hostel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Las Olas; City: Copacabana La Paz Department; Review: Beautifully-appointed rooms with fireplaces, hammocks and cosy beds make up this B&B perched on the hills of Copacabana. There are no meals served here and residents are advised to walk over to the nearby Las Culpina for breakfast and to book tours. It's quite a steal for its price and quality, and comes highly-recommended by Lonely Planet. However, what Lonely Planet neglected to mention is that Los Olas is a 5 mins taxi ride from the main square (where most accommodations are located). To reach it, you need to walk down a dirt path for about 3 mins with your heavy luggage and other belongings (no porters available). Some rooms are located downhill so you'll need to lug your bags up and down numerous flights of stairs. At high altitude, this can be a pain. Staff also speak zero English so you need to know a couple of Spanish words to get by.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Milhouse Hostel Avenue; City: Buenos Aires Capital Federal District; Review: On first glance, Milhouse Avenue is impressive. Located in its own building, the hostel resembles a large college dorm with its own bar, restaurant, laundry facilities and computer area. We stayed here twice, at the beginning of our Argentinian trip and just as we were flying out of the country. Our first leg went smoothly and I was quite tempted to give the hostel 5 stars, but the nightmare began when we returned to Bs As. Most hostels usually promise laundry within 12 to 18 hours. Instead, Milhouse can only process laundry on a 24-hours basis. To make it worse, we were told the washers were broken and we had to wait a day and a half for our clothes, making it a mad rush for us to pack our luggage for check-out the next day. When a situation like that arises, shouldn't there be a contingency plan i.e. bringing laundry to a nearby lavadero or something? If you're thinking of self-catering, think again. Milhouse's kitchen is pathetic with minimal kitchen utensils (we had to use a tiny steak knife and a porcelain plate to cut and chop our ingredients because there were no knives and chopping boards). There are also only four working stoves, and all with tiny flames. It took us 40 minutes to boil water in a medium-sized pot and 50 minutes to heat up pasta sauce and chorizo in a pan. The kitchen had also run out of dish detergent. On top of that, the cafe closes at 7pm, forcing one to either self-cater or head to one of the restaurants nearby (they weren't that good if you're wondering). We also had some food (labeled) stolen out of the common refrigerator by someone else. Milhouse is a party hostel, which we can appreciate but it's not cool when drunk boarders start hogging the common hallways at 4am while yelling and shouting at the top of their voices. WARNING: We tried using Milhouse's computers (all of which run on Linux and not Windows or Macintosh) to transfer photos from our memory cards to a portable harddisk. The in-house computer fried my first memory card reader so we went out and bought a brand new reader which worked fine in the electronics shop. We tried again that evening and horrors, the computer corrupted the new card reader as well. USD15 down the drain just like that. We had to buy a third card reader and suffice to say, we skipped the computers at Milhouse and went to a nearby Internet cafe instead to transfer the remaining photos. Please avoid the computers at Milhouse Avenue when using memory cards or portable hard disks.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Refugio Torre Central; City: Torres del Paine National Park Magallanes Region; Review: They say that hiking in the Torres Del Paine National Park is a once in a lifetime experience. What they forgot to mention was how this once in a lifetime experience was going to cost you an arm and a leg. Everything is grossly overpriced in the TDP national park, from park entrance to accommodations (a bed in a shared dorm at Refugio Centro is USD 48) to food (a simple boxed lunch of sandwich, a cereal bar, a small packet of nuts and one fruit would set you back by USD36 each). The staff couldn't even get our boxed lunch orders right - we ended up with vegetarian sandwiches. Fantastico Sur clearly holds a monopoly in the TDP and with few other options to choose from, one has to either opt for an expensive shared dorm or an expensive campsite. There are no electricity outlets in the Refugio because, and I quote staff as saying, "they care about the environment". That's all well but you can't help but notice both employee computers left on all day and staff using it to surf Facebook. Funny way to conserve energy. You can probably get better food at a public school cafeteria than at Refugio Torre Central (we had breakfast, dinner and ordered a boxed lunch). Dinner was a whopping USD24 for a set meal which left many feeling dissatisfied (we saw many diners skipping dessert). Most items on the menu were also canned items, e.g. canned tomato soup, fruit cocktail from a tin etc so food quality is low. For much better food in the same price range, head to Hotel Los Torres, which is about 20 minutes away. They use organic vegetables and good-quality meats in their dishes. If you ask me, I'll say give the dorms a miss and go for a campsite where possible (or splurge and stay in Hotel Los Torres). The shared dorms weren't that comfortable anyway. If you like, you can dine at the refugio even if you're camping. Also, remember to bring your own food - we arrived in the national park direct from the Argentinian border and were not allowed to carry fresh food with us or we would have. Hikers won't have much of a choice when it comes to accommodations or food in TDP, so most will probably end up at one of the refugios anyway, but hopefully this review serves to manage expectations.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Rancho Grande Hostel; City: El Chalten Province of Santa Cruz Patagonia; Review: The hostel is located at the one end of the town furthest from the bus station. While this makes it rather inconvenient when heading out for dinner or running errands in town, the buses from El Calafate often make two stops - one at the bus station and one at Rancho Grande (it also picks up passengers from the hostel half an hour before it departs the bus station). Like all food options in El Chalten, the cafe in Rancho Grande is rather overpriced and food is average. Amenities such as the kitchen and common area, are alright but not outstanding. Rooms are okay but the lock on our door didn't work well. We were also very perturbed as staff let a couple of workmen into our room to fix the window without first informing us of their intention. We returned to the hotel early to find strangers in our room. Our valuables and passports were lying in plain sight of the workmen and could've been taken. When confronted, staff appeared unconcerned and did not do anything to address it. In fact, a rotation of staff had just taken place and the second shift were not even aware of the workmen's presence.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Calafate Hostel; City: El Calafate Province of Santa Cruz Patagonia; Review: Calafate Hostel is a sprawling hostel with an accompanying restaurant manned by a very unfriendly manager (one evening, we walked into the restaurant by accident to get to the hotel and were told off for doing so). We stayed in a private room with an attached bathroom. The showers are a little odd, with either scalding or freezing water, and nothing else in between. Rooms facing the next door restaurant-pub can be noisy, especially if there's a futbal game going on. Breakfast is the usual bread, butter and jam. We bought empanadas and fresh pastries from the various bakeries around the hostel instead. The hostel staff can also help you with tours if you like.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: El Gualicho Hostel; City: Puerto Madryn Province of Chubut Patagonia; Review: The hostel itself is well-situated and has nice-looking common areas, including a courtyard. The private rooms were a little basic though but clean. What annoyed us was the noise level. Guests tend to congregate in the courtyard till late and since most rooms face the courtyard, it was impossible to sleep with drunk party-goers coming and going, hanging around in the courtyard and dancing even. The hostel also took a message for us from our travel operator, which switched our two tours around) but decided not to pass it on to us. As a result, we got the timing for one tour wrong and was dressed inappropriately for the other. I mean, how difficult is it to take and relay a message to your guests?; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hostel Inn Iguazu; City: Puerto Iguazu Province of Misiones Litoral; Review: Hostel Inn is set in pretty resort-like gardens, complete with a pool and landscaping. It has all the amenities of a good hostel and then some, such as a taxi service, a travel agency and a bar that sells chips, drinks and other snacks. Private rooms are okay and are advertised as air-conditioned, but our air con unit didn't work. They are clean but quite simple in decor. However, the reception and bar staff are annoyingly slow when it comes to checking you in and taking your orders. The only down side is the hostel's distance to the town center, shops, restaurants and supermarkets. You'll have to wait for the Iguazu bus (3 pesos) which comes every 20 mins and then takes 15 mins to get to the town center on a good day. You can also hail a taxi for 25 pesos. The flip side is the hostel is closer to the park than accommodations in town.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: La Casa Roja Hostel; City: Santiago Santiago Metropolitan Region; Review: The exterior facade of the hostel looks great but the inside is rather old and run-down. The old-ish furnishings and decor I can live with - in fact some might even call it rustic but the floors are unbelievably creaky and the walls are so thin you can hear everything your neighbor is up to. I arrived on a late flight and was mortified to find that every step I took across the room and common areas made the floors creak like crazy and woke everyone up. I felt especially bad when the reception staff led me to my shared dorm, then flung the creaky door wide open and flipped on the switch to fill the whole room with light. Five other boarders were staring back at us, stunned from having woken up in this rather abrupt manner. Then some late night revelers came back to the hostel at 3am and everyone in my room was awakened again. The creaky floors are also a natural wake-up call every morning. You can't help but wake up when the first hostel-goers start walking around because of the noise. Another huge downside - breakfast was not included in the price of the room. Water was also not available for sale. I arrived late and straight from the airport and all the shops around the hostel were closed so I spent the night thirsty and very annoyed. Wifi is supposed to be available throughout the hostel but the reception is extremely weak when you're in many of the dorms and only works well in the common areas. I only stayed at La Casa Roja because the travel agency I was with is located in the hostel. Coming back to Santiago, I would definitely head to a different hostel. Note: I've stayed at a couple of hostels in Santiago and have to say that there are better hostels in the Barrio Brasil area going for the same rate so do yourself a favor and shop around before settling on one. Also, in general - when a Chilean hostel markets itself as being located in 'a beautiful patrimonial building', a 'charming turn-of-the-century home' or something along those lines, it's probably marketing spiel for old and un-renovated.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Etnico Eco Hostel; City: Pucon Araucania Region; Review: The hostel itself is pretty and is set in a wooden lodge at one corner of town. It prides itself on employing green practices like recycling and saving water. Of course this means some inconveniences for guests. There are only two bathrooms/showers and waiting to shower or brush your teeth in the mornings can be a pain. The hostel houses over thirty people, so this means a ratio of 15:1 for each bathroom. I waited 40 minutes one morning because I really had to use the bathroom and had to forgo my morning tour as a result. Staff were also a little slack and were hardly at the front desk so you always had to walk around e hostel looking for them when you needed a towel or had to check out. One night, some drunk guests were blasting loud, thumping music in the general areas till 5.30am (walls are very, very thin so noise travels easily). None of the staff bothered to tell them to quieten down. I had to get up, dress and walk out into the cold to tell them myself. The general dorm houses 14 people, so it gets very noisy and annoying. Opt for one of the smaller dorms (4 and 6 beds) for a small fee.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hostel Alamo; City: Mendoza Province of Mendoza Cuyo; Review: One of the most popular hostels in Mendoza (and probably one of your best options), Hostal Alamo has all the basics associated with hostel living, including a nice kitchen, the availability of tour advice and a decent-enough breakfast. My grouses? I arrived very early from Santiago and had plans to visit the wineries that day. Since no cafes or the supermarket were opened at 8am, I asked if I could pay for breakfast at the hostel, even though I wasn't checked in the night before. The staff turned me down flatly. I think some flexibility could've ben exercised here, especially given how there was so much leftover breakfast after everyone was through with it. The showers are a very uncomfortable boiling-hot or freezing-cold, with no other temperature options in between. The bathrooms, which are all shared, are also a little run-down. Internet wifi is also only available downstairs in the very noisy common areas, so don't count on making any Skype calls anytime soon.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hostal Vermont; City: Puerto Varas Los Lagos Region; Review: Vermont Hostel offers cosy accommodations in a quaint-looking cottage close to the lake front. Beds are comfortable but the dorms are a little cold as there is no heating in the hostel. Bathrooms are shared and the staircase is narrow so watch out if you have large-size luggage. No breakfast is offered here but the kitchen is well-stocked with all sorts of cooking condiments, including freshly-dried herbs and sauces.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hostal Destino Bellavista; City: Valparaiso Valparaiso Region; Review: We moved into Destino Bellevista from Hostel Caracol, which was located right across the street because of several bad experiences we had in the latter. Destino Bellavista was such a nice, cosy place that it almost made up for our poor experience in Caracol. Rooms here are intimate and comfortable. The bathrooms are clean and the showers hot. The mother-daughter team running the hostel are friendly, welcoming and helpful. They did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. If you value privacy, you'll like Destino Bellavista. Guests are given their own keys and can come and go as they like. There isn't actually anyone manning the reception at the hostel so you're pretty self-sufficient and independent. Staff are only around from 10am - 5pm but there is a number you can call if you need assistance. The family running the hostel lives just around the corner. While breakfast is not provided, there is a general supplies shop down the road from the hostel that sells very good empanadas mariscos, pino and queso.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 13 Lunas Hostel; City: Ancud Isla Chiloe Los Lagos Region; Review: One of the best hostels I've stayed in, 13 Lunas has quite a bit to offer backpackers, from a well-stocked kitchen to clean, comfortable beds, cosy lodgings and friendly hosts. The breakfast is also quite substantial, comprising eggs, bread, coffee and tea. Possibly the best perk of staying here is the hostel's proximity to the bus station, which is just right across the street. I wouldn't even consider any other accommodation option if I passed through Ancud again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kaiyue Hostel; City: Qingdao Shandong; Review: We stayed in a private double room, which was dusty and quite worn. The room is also dark and the aircon smelled musty. There is also no room cleaning service, unlike some of the other Chinese hostels we've stayed in, so we lived in a messy room for three days. Our HI card had also expired and we asked to purchase a new card but because the hostel had run out of membership cards, they said they couldn't renew our HI membership or extend the HI discount to us. We spent almost an hour speaking to three different members of the staff before we were finally referred to the manager (someone we should've been speaking to from the start) who finally agreed to extend the discount to us. Clearly, the staff here are quite inexperienced in guest management. You get a complimentary bottle of Tsingtao in the bar every evening, which is a plus but food at the cafe is only average. The music is good though so just head here for drinks and have dinner elsewhere.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hostal Lagunitas; City: Puerto Montt Los Lagos Region; Review: One of the most enjoyable hostel stays I've had, Hostel Lagunitas feels more like homestay than your typical hostel. From arrival to departure, the owners of the hostel go the extra mile to ensure your stay is pleasant, comfortable and never lacking. Service is above Veronika, the lady running the hostel even rushed to take out coats as we were walking in from the rain, then proceeded to pop them into the dryer. Beds are comfortable enough and the hot water is a joy. While breakfast was just bread, jam and coffee or tea, the warm and attentive service we received from the hosts, who rushed to serve us breakfast, more than made up for it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tai Garden Hotel; City: Jinghong Yunnan; Review: While far from what one would expect of a global hotel chain, Tai Garden will do for a one or two night stay. It offers all the basic amenities such as a pool, a Chinese buffet breakfast and a concierge. But beyond that, don't harbor too much expectations. Our rain shower was not working and the beds were a little hard, as most beds in China are. Still, Xishuangbanna is a fourth-tier Chinese city. And if you do manage to get a promotional room rate online, Tai Garden is actually pretty ok, all things considered. For a more comfortable (and pricey) stay, head to the New Tai Garden right across the front lawn.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Beijing Hotel NUO; City: Beijing; Review: Having read all the rave reviews about the afternoon tea at Raffles Beijing, we felt slightly let down when we finally tried the tea. Priced at RMB158++ per set, the tea at Raffles isn't the cheapest amongst other non-buffet teas in Beijing. For that price, you get a 3-tier platter comprising 2 full-sized scones, 3 finger sandwiches, 5 mini pastries and a pot of tea. Presentation was also rather no-frills basic. In terms of quantity and presentation, we've had better afternoon teas elsewhere in Beijing. The quality of ingredients used is good, as you would expect of a 5-star restaurant but the sandwiches and the pastries were quite normal and nothing to write home about. The scones, as other reviewers have noted, are moist, buttery, fragrant and served warm. They are also the best scones I've had in Beijing (although not in the world or even in Asia for that matter). The only let-down was the fact that the scones were served with mini jars of preserves that are also available in supermarkets. I would've expected homemade preserves of Raffles, nothing less. All in, Raffles Beijing's tea set is a great quick fix but with other great weekend tea options in Beijing, we probably won't be back anytime soon.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Palafito Sur; City: Castro Isla Chiloe Los Lagos Region; Review: On first glance, Palafito Sur is a very pretty hostel located in one of the palafitos dotting the bay. Look closer and you'll find some flaws. Rooms are unbearably small. We stayed in a private 3-beds room. We didn't have space for our belongings and had to practically stack our suitcase on top of one another and climb over things to move around. Some rooms are fitted with windows looking into the hostel while others have no windows at all so it was always stuffy. Walls are also unbearably thin and we kept getting woken up by other guests moving around. There is also a lack of bathrooms and one will have to wait a long time to use the showers if the hostel is full. The kitchen is hardly more than a stove and a wash basin. There is a poor selection of cooking utensils. However, breakfast was good. The bread is made in a bread maker by hostel staff so you can be assured of fresh bread everyday.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Guilin Ming Palace International Youth Hostel; City: Guilin Guangxi; Review: Ming International has some of the friendliest and most helpful hostel staff we've met on our travels. They came up to us of their own accord to offer travel advice and recommendations, and moved very quickly to rectify the situation when our hot water and heater did not work (moving us to the deluxe room). They also helped us with bus information for some of the more rural parts of Guangxi. The beds here are Western-style and soft, and are also some of the most comfortable we've slept in in China. There is 24-hours hot water and heat, as well as laundry facilities. The lunch and dinner menus at the hostel cafe also feature pretty decent food. We especially liked the beer duck, which is a specialty in these parts.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yangshuo Tea Cozy; City: Yangshuo County Guangxi; Review: The Tea Cozy is rated number one on Tripadviser for a very good reason. From the beginning of our trip till the very end, we received a warm and welcoming stay at the hotel. Having arrived on a cold, blustery winter day, we were ushered into the restaurant right away where the fireplace was and offered piping-hot ginger tea. Our bags were brought up to our room, which was a relief since it was on the fifth level (no elevators). Staff at the Tea Cozy take the time to find out your first name and make the extra effort to ask about your day every time you walk into the hotel. They also offer great (and accurate) travel advice of the surrounding attractions, and can book private tours and airport transfers for you. The rooms are well-appointed and comfortable, while the beds are some of the best I've slept in while traveling through China. We also loved the restaurant in the Tea Cozy, which offers great Chinese food. While other regional Chinese dishes are served here too, ask for the seasonal vegetables, which are locally-grown, and local specials like the beer fish and stuffed tofu, which the restaurant does exceedingly well. The hotel is situated by the picturesque Yulong River and away from the hustle bustle of Yangshuo and the Li River. Free shuttle services are offered into town a couple of times a day and in our case, the driver seemed willing to pick us up and drop us off as requested, rather than drop/meet us at a fixed location in town. Otherwise, it's a ¥30 taxi ride from Yangshuo (many taxi drivers will ask for more so make sure you bargain). The hotel's location makes it the perfect starting point for day cycling trips into the countryside, which was a huge plus for us. Perhaps our only complaint is how cold the rooms on the top-level were in winter because of the high ceiling. The single air-conditioning/heating unit took several hours just to warm the room to a somewhat satisfactory level. We still had to bundle up in several layers just to sleep. Overnight, because we left the heater on, the room was finally warm. Of course, by which time, we were ready to leave the hotel for more sightseeing. One suggestion we would give the hotel is to invest in portable space heaters, which aren't expensive and can be easily stored away when not needed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lazy Gaga Hostel; City: Guangzhou Guangdong; Review: Lazy Gaga's cleanliness and central location won us over. The hostel is located in a neighborhood with lots of good eateries and is a 7-minutes walk to the nearest subway stop. We had previously stayed at another hostel in Guangzhou which saw mostly domestic Chinese tourists. Lazy Gaga has a pretty even split of local and foreign guests, if that's the sort of environment you would prefer. The hostel has everything a backpacker needs, from board games, a Wii, a pool table to a kitchen and cheap laundry facilities (including a dryer, which is almost non-existent in China). Do your laundry first thing in the morning to avoid a queue. Staff here are also helpful, friendly and knowledgeable with regards to local tours. Rooms are cleaned on a daily basis. The only problem we had was the extremely hard beds, which is a common occurrence in China anyway, so there is nothing we can do about it. All in, Lazy Gaga is highly recommended if backpacking through Guangzhou.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: RiverSide YHA; City: Guangzhou Guangdong; Review: Unless you have your own set of wheels or are willing to spend an inordinate amount of time traveling, avoid staying here. The hostel, which is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, is a good 15 minutes walk from the nearest subway stop, which is another 40 minutes away from the Zhujiang New Town area. Taxis are also hard to come by and if you do find one, be prepared to shell out quite a bit to get to the various tourist attractions in central Guangzhou. On first glance, YHA Riverside seems promising but stay a night or two and you'll find various issues with the hostel. Wifi is only available in the lobby area (it wasn't working the whole three days we were here), the neighboring bars can get noisy at night and I can't emphasize how uncomfortable the beds are (even for China's standards). Food that is stored in the communal fridge will also be taken, regardless of whether they are labelled (according to the staff). While helpful, we also found the hostel staff very clueless with regards to local and provincial tour knowledge. We were advised to just go online and find out what we needed to know. On the flip side, you get fresh towels on a daily basis and the rooms are pretty clean. The showers are also great.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Anssia International Youth Hostel; City: Harbin Heilongjiang; Review: Stay here only if you're just looking for a roof over your head for the night. Amenities in this hostel are extremely basic. Other reviewers complain of the smelly toilets. In winter, because windows are normally not opened, the rooms are rarely aired so the smell is even worse. We live in Beijing and are used to the smell but those who don't may find the stench intolerable. What makes this worse is that some of the rooms don't have toilet doors (a shower curtain protects your modesty and does nothing to keep the sewage smell out). Towels require a ¥20 security deposit and there is no soap or shampoo provided. The one comfort that the hostel offers is the hot showers and very efficient heating. The water heaters may be switched off late at night - just request for them to be turned on. The rooms themselves are clean at least but very utilitarian. The beds are not the best but are springy and way more comfortable than the usual hard Chinese-style beds you find in other hotels. Wifi also did not work for me. In summary, if you've traveled a fair bit to other parts of China and are used to how basic accommodations can be in the country, you'll do fine staying here. Otherwise, please avoid this hostel.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Wisdom Inn; City: Longsheng County Guangxi; Review: Wisdom Inn is the first hotel you will encounter on the way in from the carpark (an 8 minutes walk on a flat cobblestone path) so there is no need to hire a porter to carry your bags. Shoes are not allowed beyond the first level but you'll be provided with disposable slippers. We were welcomed with hot ginger tea the moment we arrived. The rooms themselves are well-heated and come with western-style toilets and baths. The beds are also fairly comfortable (not those hard, Chinese-style beds you see in most places). The Taiwanese-Shanghainese couple that runs the inn is very westernized and both husband and wife speak fluent English and Mandarin. The wife, Sandy was prompt in responding to our emails prior to our arrival. While staying at Wisdom Inn, the water pipes froze over due to the extremely cold weather and we had neither hot nor cold water in our room. As a result we had to shower in another room. While in the bathroom, the doorknob became stuck and no amount of jiggling would open it. We had to wake Sandy up in the middle of the night to help. She was patient throughout the incident and so apologetic when the door finally opened that I almost felt bad. Also, we were the only guests at Wisdom Inn during our stay. We found out later that Sandy and her husband had delayed their own vacation just to wait for our arrival. If the inn isn't too crowded, Sandy will even be able to cook up a delicious dinner for you. We ate with Sandy and her husband on the the two nights we were here. We were also served complimentary ginger tea during the duration of our stay here due to the cold weather. Don't miss the homemade yogurt and bread for breakfast. Expect a comfortable stay with the warm hospitality at Wisdom Inn.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dong village Hotel; City: Sanjiang Guangxi; Review: I'm not sure why this hotel's been getting such good reviews online but we found our stay only average. First, there is no room cleaning service and we were informed that rooms are only cleaned upon check-out, so if you stay more than one night, like we did, you'll end up with a dirty bathroom, overflowing dustbins and wet, soggy towels. Eventually, and only after some requesting, did the cleaning lady clear out our trash and replaced the towels (but left the beds unmade). Also, because we were here during the off-peak season, the lights in the common hallways were all switched off so we had to basically fumble around to get to our room. The heater takes a good 20 minutes of heating up before it gets going. Yes, I know we're staying in a village (albeit a thoroughly touristy one which should have decent tourist amenities, or you would hope) but service at Dong Village Hotel is far from what we've experienced in some of the cheap hostels we've stayed at in the country. Note also that Dong Village Hotel is charging over 3 times (¥200 for the cheapest room) what some of the other neighboring inns are charging. You can easily arrive with your luggage in tow and knock on the doors of other inns in the village to ask for lodging at a better rate. On the other hand, we liked the hot showers and comfortable-enough beds (there was an additional layer of softer bedding laid over the hard Chinese-style mattress). The hotel also has a restaurant, which serves simple meals (you have to reserve ahead). For better and tastier meals and a wider variety, head to Yang's restaurant in Ma'an Village, a 5 minutes walk away. Note: This hotel is actually located in the Dong villages themselves, a 30-minutes car ride from downtown Sanjiang. You can hail a taxi off the street to get there (¥60 flat fee) or locate a collective minivan (¥10 per person if the van is full or ¥50 per trip if you're the only ones).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hostel 41 Below; City: San Carlos de Bariloche Province of Rio Negro Patagonia; Review: Overall a nice hostel, and even more so if you're looking to meet fellow travelers. The common area is spacious, homey and there are always interesting fellow travelers lounging around at all times of the day. Breakfast is a generous spread of rolls, croissants, jam, butter and cereal. Reception staff can help arrange tours and with other travel advice for the region, but note that some staff give out erroneous information on bus schedules. The beds in the shared dorm are lumpy and not that comfortable though. Also, all dorms share a common toilet so it can be quite a mad rush in the mornings.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hostal Boutique Bella 269; City: Santiago Santiago Metropolitan Region; Review: If you're looking for party hostel, Hostal Bella 269 is not for you. What it does offer are tastefully-decorated dorms and privates at a reasonable price. The pros: - Situated 5 minutes from Museo de BellasArtes and 10 minutes from Barrio Lastarria, Metro BellasArtes and Barrio Bellavista. It is not located right smack in Bellavista so there is none of the rowdiness and drunkards associated with the party neighborhood - Nicely-decorated rooms and comfortable beds - Large lockers that will hold your entire luggage and more - Showers with 24-hours hot water supply - A rooftop terrace with great views of the Andes and Cerro San Cristobal - Good wifi connection throughout the hostel, even in rooms - Hearty breakfast comprising the usual staple, eggs, cookies and fruit - Great kitchen with a good range of kitchen equipment The cons: - Washer was broken for half the time (1.5 months) I was staying in the hostel and the nearest lavandaria is a 10-minutes walk away - Very grouchy older woman who cleans the rooms. She loves to bark at guests so steer clear of her if you don't want to receive 'attitude' from her - Avoid the all-female dorm if you are a light sleeper. It overlooks the main road and traffic is awfully noisy. Also, at around 1am everyday, a truck stops at the Ekono supermarket next door to restock and the driver has no concept of time. He would just blare his horns very loudly It's easy to make friends at this hostel, with most guests staying here between the ages of 25-40. Again, I have to reiterate that if you're part of the college-aged party crowd, there are other options out there. Like me, there were a number of long-term guests at the hostel, most of whom were either studying, working or looking for work in Santiago. I guess this attests to how comfortable the hostel is. Tip: If you're staying for more than a week or two (continuously), ask for long-term discounts, which will save you quite a bit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hostal Emalafquen; City: Pucon Araucania Region; Review: The hostel, located a convenient block away from the main bus terminals, has more of the B&B vibe than a backpackers' hostel feel. The two ladies running the hostel are great and very hospitable. The hostel comprises three separate buildings, each with its own kitchen and living room. In low season, you have the whole building to yourself. It's almost like renting an entire house. Towels and linen are free. The only problems: The water pressure in the shower isn't great and breakfast is not provided.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hostal El Arbol; City: La Serena Coquimbo Region; Review: Sometimes, just sometimes, you're lucky enough to find a hostel that has just the right combination of amenities, ambience and location. El Arbol is it. Located in the central area of picturesque La Serena, the hostel is close to attractions, the supermarket, malls and the bus station, and is tucked away in a quiet lane off the busier main road. The hostel itself is cosy and well-decorated with comfy couches and rustic furniture. The kitchen is a little small but very well-equipped. Showers are hot and the bathrooms clean. The bed was one of the best I've slept in since arriving in South America. You're also given a free towel on check-in, keys to the main door, a locker and your room. The wifi connection is pretty good here. The hostel is run by a daughter-mother team and a couple of assistants who are warm, helpful and accommodating. You can book tours and transfers to the bus station and airport here. Breakfast is great and comprises bread with artesenal jam, fresh juice, eggs and cereal. If not for the fact that I had already bought tickets back to Santiago, I would've stayed one more night at El Arbol. It was like staying in a B&B rather than a hostel. At USD18 a night for a bed in the four-person dorm, it is slightly more pricey than your usual hostel but, I can assure you, is worth every single cent.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hostel Salta Por Siempre; City: Salta Province of Salta Northern Argentina; Review: The Good: - Bed linen and towels are changed once every 2 to 3 days at no extra cost - Expect hot showers with good pressure, even though you're technically living in the desert - There are only 4 beds in the shared dorms and each dorm comes with a private bathroom - Spacious, comfortable and cosy general areas - Breakfast is served to you in the garden every morning. You don't even have to do the dishes - Reception staff help you to book yours (albeit at a slightly higher rate) The Bad: - 8 blocks (20 minutes walk) from the town center, restaurants, pubs and main attractions; 6 blocks from the nearest proper supermarket - Kitchen lacks proper utensils, forcing you to chop vegetables with a steak knife and cook with a broken spatula (you can ask to borrow kitchen knives but they run out very quickly) - Cramped kitchen which only holds 3 persons at the same time comfortably - Front rooms are extremely noisy because the hostel is located along a major road The Verdict: Definitely go for Salta Por Siempre if you're not planning on doing any self-catering. It's quite a walk to the main town center so plan your day accordingly because you don't want to end up having to make 20-minute treks into town just because you forgot to get something from the supermarket. There is a mini mercado nearby but it offers extremely basic items.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hostal Las Kanas; City: San Pedro de Atacama Antofagasta Region; Review: Considering its location in the middle of a desert, Las Kañas is a pretty average hostel. There is hot water, a kitchen and wifi. The staff are also very friendly. Beyond that, there're a couple of key issues with the hostel Shared rooms are a little cramped though and the wifi signal is pretty weak even in the common areas (forget about getting any wifi in the rooms). It also doesn't make sense to hang around in the common areas (which are all outdoors and extremely cold outside of the summer season) just to use the wifi. There are only two showers and one bathroom for each gender so be prepared to wait for quite abit. Breakfast is not provided and the hostel is a good 10 minutes walk to the town center. I would stay here if there are no other options but San Pedro is a tourist town and there're many options closer to the action.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: La Casona 1920 Hostel; City: Iquique Tarapaca Region; Review: The lack of hot water has been going on for awhile here. When I asked an employee when hot water will be restored, she said she didn't know and that the situation was indefinite. The other thing that irked me was how inconveniently the bathrooms were located. Not only do dorms not have their own bathrooms, they are located on an entirely different floor altogether. To get to the bathrooms, one has to climb down a narrow spiral staircase which is not lit. Not good if you have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. I almost tripped coming down the stairs at night. I paid USD16 for a shared room. This is not the cheapest cheap hostel around, yet it lacks all the basic amenities one would expect of a hostel in South America. Its a pity because I think the hostel is promising and has the potential to be one of the better hostels in town. The staff are great and are very friendly and helpful. The common rooms are cosy and the kitchen well-equipped.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Teddy Bear Hotel; City: Emeishan Sichuan; Review: The hotel sounds a lot more charming than it actually is. There're two sections - the one housed in a wooden building and the newer wing. The latter is really just a very average Chinese motel, with tiled floors and hard beds. The room is clean and utilitarian but that's about it. The bathroom is Chinese style, which means the shower area is not separate. Because plumbing isn't fantastic, the entire bathroom floods when you take a shower. The water is either scalding hot or cold - there's no in-between. While heating is available, there seemed to be only one temperature no matter how you adjusted the remote control. The aircon was also very strong and you can't turn it down so I alternated between the heater and air-conditioner all night. Bedsheets are changed everyday so that's a plus (some Chinese motels don't change sheets in between guests). There's also wifi, although very weak, in the rooms. The hotel also has an attached cafe, which is convenient for packed lunches but is otherwise quite ordinary. The staff at the reception are very helpful with hiking tips though and they even offer a free map. The location is what sold me on the hotel - it is two doors down from the Baoguo bus station where you can catch buses to other parts of the mountain and back to Chengdu or Leshan.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Chengdu Lazy Bones Backpackers Boutique Hostel; City: Chengdu Sichuan; Review: Lazy Bones has all you'll come to expect of a youth hotel. It's a little rough around the edges but things work for the most part. The 24-hours hot showers were a joy. There're two washers but no dryers so laundry needs to be dried on the roof. The location is perfect - the hostel is a 2-minute walk from the nearest subway and near the main road where it's always easy to flag down a taxi. The onsite restaurant is pretty good, very affordable and convenient. It also offers Sichuan cooking classes for ¥100 but don't expect the bells and whistles. Classes are held in the back kitchen with one of the hostel staff acting as a translator because the ayi only speaks Sichuan dialect. I would recommend the tour to the panda breeding centre. You can do it yourself for less but that would include finding your own way there, which is a huge hassle, and potentially getting there much later when the other tour buses arrive and it is significantly more crowded. A couple of (tiny) cons: - Only accepts cash - On some days, my room was clean; on others it was not - No wifi in rooms - With the exception of two or three stellar hostel staff, the others were rude. I asked one (in Chinese) for recommendations on sights to visit. She curtly told me that everything was in my tourist map and proceeded to go back to what she was doing on the computer; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: HiQuebec Auberge Internationale de Quebec; City: Quebec City Quebec; Review: The hostel itself is fine. The rooms are a little bare but comfortable enough. It also has a stellar location, right smack in the restaurant and bar area so everything is close by and pretty convenient. But that is as far as we go with the pluses of staying here. HI-Quebec is a party hostel through and through. Walls are paper thin. So in the middle of the night, you will be awakened multiple times by people laughing, talking, slamming doors and coming back drunk. Shared rooms don't have adjoining bathrooms as well, which is very inconvenient. Stay here only if you don't have another choice.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: La Maison du Patriote; City: Montreal Quebec; Review: Having stayed at some very nice backpackers' hostels in South America, where I had just arrived from, I was expecting more of North American hostels. La Maison du Patriote was a huge, huge, huge let-down. Although its location is incomparable (located right on one of the busiest and prettiest streets in Montreal), the hostel itself was a tremendous disappointment. The hostel is sorely in need of a renovation. Furniture is scratched-up, windows don't close properly, wooden beams in the dorm don't look sturdy at all. Guests are asked to remove their shoes before entering the hostel but the floors don't look very clean. I opted for the more pricey 6-bed female dorm. I was promised privacy curtains or separators but there were none in sight at my bed. I had to sleep with all the lights on (at 1.30am) because my roommates wanted to stay up. The lockers that are so proudly advertised online are tiny - I couldn't even fit my 25-liter daypack into it, let alone my camera and other valuables. I ended up sleeping with all my belongings at the foot of my bed, which made it so uncomfortable. The dorms were very stuffy and it got really warm in the middle of the night. There are no fans available so the air in the rooms was also very stale. Bathrooms are located on a different level entirely and there are only 2 showers for over 30 guests, leading to ridiculous waits in the mornings and nights. The reception staff, who spoke some English, were not very friendly and were not very helpful or knowledgeable with visitor advice so go online for travel and restaurant tips instead. And lastly, as some reviewers noted, the hostel is ridiculously noisy on Fridays and weekends and the partying and music go on till the early hours of the morning so sleep is impossible. Walls are so thin that you can hear someone showering next door, let alone rely on them to keep the partying noise down. As there are no hostel staff on duty at that time, there is no one to police the noisemakers. The only pros - free laundry facilities and a complimentary towel. As far as the hostels I've stayed in across South America, Europe and Asia go, backpackers enjoy roomy lockers (some with electrical outlets in them), air-conditioning, boutique-hotel or B&B style decor, hearty breakfasts, tour desks, and more. La Maison du Patriote is sadly lacking in all these areas. Stay here if you really have to, but temper your expectations or you'll leave disappointed.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Villa Cristina y Abel; City: Vinales Pinar del Rio Province Cuba; Review: Also known as Casa Cristina or Villa Cristina, depending on which website you're looking at, Casa Villa Cristina offers clean, comfortable rooms. The señora, together with her husband, run the casa and are very warm and welcoming folks who go out of their way to make your stay a great one. They speak no English so a basic command of Spanish is necessary, as with most places in the countryside. The casa particulare is a little out of the way, at the edge of town but Vinales is a small town with just one main road so the walk to the bus station and restaurants is not too bad, although on a hot day, that walk suddenly feels much longer. Breakfast here is quite standard and comprises the usual fruit salad, eggs of your choice, bread and coffee and tea. Be careful of the fresh juice though. One of us fell ill after drinking some pineapple juice. Our hosts were quick to offer us medication. Dinner and lunch is also offered, with what seems like the standard fare of chicken, fish, lamb or lobster, in Vinales. The casa does it pretty well. The hosts' grandson speaks good English and drops by every now and then. He can also arrange English-speaking tours of the surrounding valleys. He offers three main options - sunrise, sunset and tobacco. The horse-riding tours are probably better than the horse cart tours, which makes for an extremely bumpy and uncomfortable ride. You can also opt for a taxi option but that's pricier. Ask for the back room. The front room faces the busy main road, is noisy all the time even at night, and smells like vehicle fumes. We ended up closing all the windows (which made the room very dark) and turning on the aircon all day. Even then the windows were not airtight and still let in some fumes. The hot water went out in the middle of our stay and we had to shower in the next room.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: La Casa de Carlos Julio; City: Havana Ciudad de la Habana Province Cuba; Review: First the good. Hosts, Carlos and Julio are very nice and offered us tips on what to do and see while in Habana. Carlos speaks fluent English so that's a huge plus if you're keen on speaking to a local about Cuban culture and politics. We also enjoyed the breakfasts here, which includes the standard fruit salad, eggs of your choice and beverages. We were also offered a cup of yoghurt and a sausage on top of that. And all that for just CUC5. Water here is boiled and then chlorinated so you don't have to buy additional bottled water and don't have to worry about consuming juices and tea/coffee at breakfast. Now the not so good. We must have been given the creakiest bed in the house. Every time we tossed or turned, it felt like we were on a boat. That's said, sheets and towels were changed on a daily basis unlike some other casa particulares. Also, our shower only had scalding-hot water coming out of it so as you can imagine, showering in summer turned out to be quite an experience. The water also came and went and the pressure wasn't fantastic, but that seems to be a problem in all of Cuba and not just this casa. The casa is located a little off the beaten track in a suburban neighborhood. The nearest decent restaurant is a 10-minutes walk away and there're no supermarkets nearby so while it can be interesting to live in a local neighborhood, getting to anyway can be quite a bother especially in the heat of summer. A taxi to Habana Vieja costs about CUC5. You can get one from the Habana Libre Hotel, about 12 minutes away. Also, I'll like to point out that while the casa offers laundry services, it charges by item (on par with hotel rates) instead of per load as many homestays, bnbs and lavanderias in Latin America do. Our laundry bill for half a load came up to CUC20, which would be fine if the hosts had informed us beforehand.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Ambos Mundos; City: Havana Ciudad de la Habana Province Cuba; Review: Museum is probably a misnomer for this tiny single room. At CUC2 for a 10 minutes commentary in what used to be the hotel room Hemingway resided in when in town, the tour is rather expensive unless you have a real interest in Hemingway. You'll see a mix of replicas and original artifacts and tours are available in English and Spanish. Head to the fifth level of Hotel Ambos Mundos.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Regency Art Hotel; City: Macau; Review: Regency Hotel is an $8-10 taxi ride away from the casinos and Taipa Ferry Terminal, so this is probably not the most convenient choice. Still, unless you're willing to shell out a couple of hundred dollars a night for a Cotai hotel, Regency is one of the few affordable choices in Taipa/Cotai. The room was clean and the beds comfortable and this was what mattered to us. The breakfast buffet comprised a pretty good spread of Asian and Western choices (noodles, a couple of Chinese dishes, eggs-to-order, bacon, toast, fruit and cereal) given the price you pay for the hotel. Views from our room were nonexistent (our room overlooked a rooftop and some apartment buildings) but we really only needed a bed to sleep in for the night. What really irked us though was how thin the walls are, as in most older hotels. There was a commotion in the hallway outside our room at 2am and we were all woken up by it. Otherwise, while the Regency isn't a 5-star it certainly afforded us a fairly comfortable stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Grand Macao Hotel Cotai Central; City: Macau; Review: We encountered a slight misunderstanding during the room reservations process but this was cleared up quickly and service recovery was prompt and nothing short of professional. Because we had a young child with us, we were invited to bypass the queues and check-in at the club lounge, a space normally reserved for executive club guests. Alternatively, there is a dedicated check-in space on the ground floor for SPG members. Otherwise the lines at the regular check-in area were pretty long for a weekday. We were upgraded to a family suite that overlooked the Eiffel Tower (this meant we were able to watch the nightly light show from our room!). The adjoining Shrek-themed kids room was a haven for my toddler who thoroughly enjoyed the kid-sized furniture, crib and bunk bed. But it was really the small touches like child-sized bathrobes, house slippers and amenities that turned this into a great experience for her. There is also the option to upgrade your hotel breakfast to Po's Kung Fu Feast, which I did, much to the delight of my daughter. Of course, with this being the Sheraton, you get treated to some of the most comfortable pillows and bedding around. Needless to say, we had an amazing night’s sleep. Other hotel amenities like free wifi throughout the property, the many pools to choose from and complimentary shuttle services completed our experience. The hotel also hand delivered complimentary local confectionaries in a collectible tin for us to bring home. This was accompanied by a handwritten note from the Sheraton, a really nice gesture on the hotel’s part. I guess we know where we’ll be staying on our next visit to Macau.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: India Tree Dark Muscovado Sugar, 1 Pound (Pack of 6); Brand: India Tree; Review: A/ A retrospective overview of my localisation I live in the Caribbeans in the FWI ,where the economy is mainly based on sugar ,rhum and bananas. But no use is needed to be an inhabitant of the country to understand these economies are politicized, subsidized (bananas) , badly processed (sugar cane) : it's a colony that is slowly depopulating. In this island ,for a long time,I heard that sugar browness is due to dirtiness. I suspected a negrophobic background to this assertion that I'm going to smash to pieces Though the same abberations were repeated by the ancients. And with this malevolent and contagious beliefs , our sugar turns whiter and whiter, and people become more and more sick with cancers ,diabetes, CVA, accidents,pandemies, and crimes,underperforming at school , underperforming everywhere ,decadence... Whereas the system carries on to promote this local sugar as the best of the world. As we live on an island they think we all are inter-idiot , And This is specially serious when the french are convinced to nombrilize the finest f -goods ,the best ideas in the world..... But for me, all theirs efforts are incantations and enchantments. They rather need a real therapy. So I decide to reconsider this dangerous and malevolent idea since I show a particular distrust against everything that come from the French, and I go for the quest of black sugar. Indeed the very regressive society I live in conveys a programmed self -hatred campaign by using the word "noir" wrongly for speaking of their problems (linguistical negrophobia) though there's no colour anywhere ex : series noire,journe noire, bte noire... A permanent program of denegation ,devalorization and despise of black word,black people, except coffee,chocolate (though I heard about white chocolate) but if they were able ,they would try to make the coffee white as well. The french astrophysicists admit hypocritically that dark matter and dark energy exist but they don't translate "dark" as they should by the word "sombre" in french but they prefer the word "noir" to mean the absence of light in the matter and the energy that exceed their understanding , So a problem for them. This is the proof that these people are linguistically, spiritually,intellectually poor .. I found Amazon.com as I was a student in English, but ignorance was doomed to be permanent til I found what I was looking for. I made searches on sugar exclusively in English language as I knows the informations in french are deformed. What surprising I was when I found different categories of brown sugar in the english Wikipedia and that I didn't even suspect the existence ,and does not exist in the french wikipedia. After comparison ,I find the sugar produced in my country is unclassified , so much it's look likes a treated harshly sugar even if its apparence leads to think a very little bit to the "demerrara" category , Despite of its designation ("roux" sugar but the translation is brown), It is so pale , inconsistent and poor that I prefer saying it is unclassifiable. Therefore I; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bob's Red Mill Teff Flour, 24-ounce (Pack of 4); Brand: Bob's Red Mill; Review: I read an article explaining why 80% of people will stop eating wheat . I found out wheat is very dangerous. A passport for all the diseases and syndromes we hear about .This convinced to give up wheat . I lost in the experience 21 kg in 3 months . What was even great with this article . It gives you alternatives to wheat . There are many . Teff flou is one of them . This is the best flour and best bread I have ever ate . Most wealthy people don't have dietary consciousness. I will say they don't have consciousness at all . When I hear Donald Trump saying he eat at Mc Donald's just because it's clean . Obviously he is not interested in healthiness.

Title: Holiday Inn Express Custer; City: Custer South Dakota; Review: I loved this hotel. Part of this might be because we came into Custer very late friday night of July 4th weekend with no reservation. We were coming across Wyoming and weren't able to find a vacacy in Newcastle, thus we forged on. We stopped at the Holiday Inn Express and they had only 2 rooms- 2 queens +hide-a-bed, which is exactly what we needed for our clan! We felt very fortunate. The check-in clerk was very friendly and helpful. The room was great! It had a balcony facing the back of the hotel, which features a waterfall (man-made). There was also a firepit roaring with a fire and folks sitting around that. We kept our window open and slept to the sound of the waterfall.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Microtel Inn Suites by Wyndham Tomah; City: Tomah Wisconsin; Review: I chose this hotel because of all the raving reviews and was absolutely disappointed and puzzled by positive reviews for this hotel! 1. There were only 3 other rooms occupied in this hotel, yet they put me on the highway side. The noise and rumble (yes, the bed shakes when semis drive by!) was really annoying during the night. 2. My room (queen size bed) was about the smallest I'd ever seen in a US hotel. 3. The lighting in the room was like that of a prison. There were no lamps by the bed for indirect, low-level lighting. The only lights in the room were very bright, overhead fluorescent fixtures and a valance fixture on the wall like a hospital room. 4. Carpet in room was worn and not cleaned well in corners. 5. TV was mounted up at the ceiling contributing to the prison-like quality of the room. I was sadly disappointed in this hotel and would definitely NOT recommend to anyone.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn Suites Starlite Village Conference Center; City: Ames Iowa; Review: There weren't any room options for our family of 5- only 2 Q beds. My son ended up sleeping on a lounge chair. Small bathroom and closet. Nice pool area- but that was the only above average thing about this place.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Kalahari Resorts Conventions; City: Wisconsin Dells Wisconsin; Review: I was dreading the stay at the Kalahari because I'm not a huge fan of anything remotely like DisneyWorld. But, I knew the kids would love it and my husband had a conference. I was really pleased with the friendly service. The place was really well-run and waterpark was HUGE. I especially liked the fact there was a number of options for my 4 year old- from small slides, up to pretty large ones and everything inbetween. The older kids were kept occupied with the larger slides/tubes. If you are into waterpark resorts, this place is for you.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Ames; City: Ames Iowa; Review: We are a family of 5 and needed 2 beds with sleeper- so our options in town were limited. Of the Holiday Inn Expresses I've stayed at, this rates at the bottom. It wasn't bad- but a bit disappointing compared to other ones I've stayed at. Our room was on the 3rd floor. Apparently one end of the 3rd floor is smoking rooms, so the entire hallway reeked of smoke and the smell even came in through our door. I didn't realize that smoking hotel rooms were even an option anymore! I really wish the desk clerk would have made that clear to us. The room itself was fine- but some nastly black mold in the bathroom. They only left 3 bath towels, which I thought was pretty stingy. Same with the pool- where the number of towels was very, very limited. The pool was very, very small and very, very chlorinated and very, very crowded with kids. Break fast was a highlight of the stay here, where the kids were fascinated by the "magic pancake machine". As always, they have a pretty good breakfast spread.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Terrace Bay Hotel; City: Gladstone Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: Nice location with good views to Lake Michigan. Room was fine, but very dated and smelled like "old hotel". Indoor swimming pool was super cold, so we hit the hot tub, which was so chlorinated that you couldn't see 2" into the water. Pretty average and a little disappointing.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sunset Motel on the Bay; City: Munising Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: As far as motels go, this was pretty good. We have a family of 5, so the 2-rooms and 3 beds was great. We liked playing shuffle board along the lake and kids playground is a nice amenity. I would recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: AmericInn by Wyndham Ashland; City: Ashland Wisconsin; Review: We stayed here 2 days around the 4th of July. Our room had an outdoor patio, which was great. The indoor waterpark is a nice feature, but not as appealing as the outdoors on a nice day! We used the complimentary paddle boats, bicycles and played many of the games they had around the grounds (frisbee, badminton, jarts, etc, ). I would highly recommend!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kimpton Hotel Monaco Portland; City: Portland Oregon; Review: I love Kimpton Hotels! As an InTouch member, you get points toward a free hotel stay and $10 raid-the-mini-bar coupon.

The decorating is a bit garrish for my taste, but I can look beyond the carpet/ wallcovering/ bed spread clash!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Aloft Tulsa Downtown; City: Tulsa Oklahoma; Review: This Aloft is the former city hall office building and it feels like it. Very strange entrance, which is difficult to find by car. You enter through a circuitous parking area under the building to the first level lobby--- which is not the check-in area. Check in area is on the next level. Quiet and abandoned-feeling. The room was nice enough, but the austerity, along with office building vibe made it a very odd place to stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Motion Sensor Closet Lights, OxyLED 15 Inch LED Light Bar, Wardrobe Light, USB Rechargeable LED Under Cabinet; Brand: OxyLED; Review: These little lights are awesome! We've had other solar garden lights before that we bought at the hardware store, and those were a disappointment. They only lasted a few hours. These lights by OxyLED do not disappoint at all! I got up at 6:45 am this morning (right at sunrise) and these lights were still on!!! I was amazed! Being able to choose the color is a nice feature. The lights can cycle between colors one at a time, or they can fade seamlessly between colors. You can also set them to white or lock them on a color. They are very versatile! They can also be hung up by the included hanger hooks and string, or they can be placed on tables. The stakes for garden use that are included are sharp and easy to put into the ground. These feel really well made. Use is straight forward - I didn't even need any instructions. We are very impressed!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: OxyLED OxySense BN10 Mushroom Kids Bedside Lamp | Touch Decorative LED Lamp with Warm And Fluorescent; Brand: OxyLED; Review: My kids love having this lamp in their bedroom, as they like a lot of night lights when they go to bed. For my taste, it would be much too bright for a night light, but my kids like it. I had a spare USB charger so I keep the lamp plugged in. I have not tested battery life yet. The tapping function on the top dome takes a decent little whack. It's not a touch like a touch screen on your phone. The top dome is on a rubbery mount and it actually takes a little thump to turn it on and off. The white light is nice and bright. The top white and base colored lights can be used independently of each other. The colored lights seamlessly fade through all the colors of the rainbow. You can hold the color by long pressing the button, but it seemed to keep changing color for a few seconds before it locked in, so grabbing the color you want is hardly possible. Deducted 1 star for not having a dimmer switch and being a bit too bright for a night light, and for the difficulty in selecting the color. It's a nice little lamp though.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dr.meter 0.01 Resolution High Accuracy Pocket Size pH Meter (MS8232); Brand: Dr.meter; Review: These are great! Don't cut your meat to visually check if it's cooked - use a thermometer! We used to cut steaks to see how done they were but that lets all the juices run out and it ruins the meat. A small probe is the way to go if you need to check. These fit the bill quite nicely. Positives: Takes AAA batteries instead of rare button batteries Large, lighted display It has an option to actually SPEAK out the temperature, pretty cool! Automatically turns off when you fold it Comes up to temperature pretty fast, but not instantly. It takes a few seconds. Negatives: Would be nice to have a chart printed on the back to tell you safe temperatures for different meats. These are printed in the instruction book, but I've had other cooking thermometers that have that information on the device so you don't have to keep the instructions handy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Super Bright Under Counter Light Fixtures, OxyLED Dimmable Under Cabinet Lighting, Extra Large LED Panel Light for Kitchen; Brand: OxyLED; Review: These look great under our cabinets. I like how you can screw mount them, sticky pad mount (pads included), or use the integral magnets. The remote is magnetic and we keep it stuck to the side of the refrigerator. They also have a timer feature which is great and a manual on/off button. These are slick!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Yard Hostel; City: Bangkok; Review: We found it easy to hop on a bus, go to an area restaurant, or even grab street food. The Yard has a great location. Breakfast was delicious but limited. It didn't satiate us so we went to a nearby place to eat. The Yard has a great community area, rooms are clean, and the people are friendly. Communal showers were really unique and noninvasive. Overall a great stay-I only wish we could've spent more time here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mushroom Point; City: Sihanoukville Sihanoukville Province; Review: This was a very serene spot. As short-term visitors we loved the location, food, and staff. The meal selection was vast and our tummies and tastebuds were satisfied with the food quality (plus amazing prices!!!). This was a very social place- we had a great time meeting people from all around the world. We also made friends with Sna, a fun and charismatic bartender with a great sense of humor who we loved getting to know. We woke up to the sound of waves and hopped right into the ocean. Another highlight from our stay here were the night swims, comfy bed, mani/pedi/massage any time we wanted (they come to you!), and friendly locals. I felt confident that our valuables were safe with the provided in-room lock boxes. It was convenient to have beach, food, and drinks close by. All that aside, we had a few minor problems: 1. They overbooked us. We did not get the mushroom we booked, but they made up for it by giving us a discounted mushroom closer to the beach. 2. Lacking communication. Check-out is during set times. We always saw someone working on the property, but that doesn't mean you can check out. It was clearly stated that we needed to check out the night before if we were leaving earlier than the check-out time. It was also clearly stated someone would need to be there to make sure the lock box was reset. So, we did check out the night before, but were reassured that someone would be there to check us out in the morning before we left on our bus. What we didn't know was that they didn't communicate it with the other staff so that they would know to close out our bill the night before. This was just due to a lack of communication between both sites. 3. The vendors are many and persistent. Don't expect to be left alone. It can be 9 in the morning and people are already out trying to make money off the tourists. There won't be just one person making a living off it, either, so plan on being harassed by several people selling the same thing- even children. They sell sunglasses, nail services, massages, boat tours, food, jewelry, you name it. It is nice when you want something, but not when you get it and then continue to be hounded constantly all day. It got old. 4. Loud. We were too tired the first night to care and slept right through the party bar next door. The second night we didn't care because we were partaking. Be ready to have fun and be up late, but not to go to bed early. All of that doesn't matter if you sleep like a rock. Overall, we loved this place and don't regret staying here at all.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Forest King Hotel; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: Backpacking around Southeast Asia means staying at many places. Over our month and a half trip, my favorite place we stayed at was hands down the Golden Mango Inn. First, the hotel arranged to have my boyfriend and I picked up at the airport for free by Mr. Kong- the friendliest tuk tuk driver ever (we spent the following day with him at Angkor Wat too, but that's a different story). When we got to the GM, we were greeted with great customer assistance who answered all our questions and showed us to our room. The AC was refreshing after a muggy, sticky day of travel. Showers were temperature controlled. The bed was a bit hard, but we were too tired to care. Also, the tv didn't work, but we weren't interested in that either. When we woke up we had a complimentary breakfast, dropped off some laundry (we came from the jungle) and then went out to Angkor Wat for the day. We got back in the heat of the afternoon and enjoyed a swim in the pool until dinner- which definitely hit the spot. For dinner, we chose to stay at the GM to try out the local cuisine (LOVED THE KHMER AMOK-it's a must try). The best part was that they were accommodating to us to push back our check-out time a few hours due to our night bus leaving late. We are so very grateful to the Golden Mango Inn staff. Every single person we interacted with was friendly, smiling, and helpful. It was relaxing and happy- what a vacation should be. Plus, you can't beat the price!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Barefoot Hotel Kalim Beach Front; City: Patong Kathu Phuket; Review: Atmosphere: This place is indescribable. The art and layout of the building itself was very impressive. I've never seen a place quite like it. Everywhere you look there's a unique piece of art. Also every room is a little different with its own personality. We loved the atmosphere in that way. Very good location- walking distance to the beach across the street and we even walked from town too because it was nice out. Otherwise it's just a few bucks on tuk tuk. The main boat guides will pick you up for free from this location. Our Room: Ocean view was really breathtaking. The traffic was too loud to hear the waves, but it was still beautiful. AC was an absolute must in comfort while we were here. It was sticky and hot. Shower was gross, bed was EXTREMELY hard; so much so that it seemed to be a box spring (I'm not convinced it wasn't). Basic toiletries, lock box, and water was nice to have. The Restaurant: I found it to be more quiet than I expected around the restaurant and bar with the potential for it to be a million times more social with the common areas and rooftop not even being utilized. It was nice to have some space from the hustle bustle of the main bar scene in town, but were disappointed that we didn't interact with more people. Food was delicious, but pricey. Staff: Was decently friendly, but we did not get clear instructions on check in/out (where to leave the key... How to get OUT of the hotel when the front doors are locked... Kind of important stuff). Overall restaurant yay; sleeping nay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Patio Hotel Urban Resort; City: Phnom Penh; Review: Be prepared to indulge in relaxation during your stay here. With all the accommodations to have a completely comfortable stay, you can get so much out of your time at Patio Hotel. My favorite part was the rooftop pool—an excellent view of the capital, peaceful music, and food/drink service is just what we needed after a full day of exploring Cambodia. The full body flat cushions are poolside so when you're ready to get in, the pool is at your fingertips. After a refreshing swim, a massage on site was icing on the cake to sweeten the deliciously restful day. I want to go back just thinking about it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Clevercat Top Entry Litterbox; Brand: Clevercat; Review: I have one cat who is too bullied by the others to go down in the basement to use the litterboxes down there, so we had to put one in the office/gym. The first one we used was spewing litter everywhere, even with a mat out front AND it smelled really bad. This one has helped considerably with both of those problems. And the bullied cat isn't afraid to use it, which was a fear of mine since there's only one escape route from it. We're also using the liner bags, which are kind of a pain and the cats end up scratching holes in them, but since the Clevercat was a bit pricey, I wanted to avoid letting it get soaked in urine. I think they're helping us extend the life of this box.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I had a more expensive Kong leash that's nice, but there's a secondary handle close to the hook which weighs down the leash and encourages my dog to chew on it. This one is just a straightforward, padded leash with reflection. High-quality construction.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bemix Pets Reflective Cat Collar with Bell, Set of 3 OR 6, Solid & Safe, Nylon, Mixed Colors, Pet; Brand: Bemix Pets; Review: Good price, but one of ours was pulled off and chewed apart the same day we put it on the cat. They are not high quality enough if you have a cat who's prone to pulling off collars.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |

Title: Park Plaza Verudela Pula; City: Pula Istria; Review: My partner and me stayed here for a week from August 26th and to be honest there is nothing that I can fault. All staff lovely, friendly and helpful. Very nice rooms. We had a studio apartment and couldn't fault anything, rooms cleaned daily and fresh towels everyday, air con was a god send too :) bed was a pull out sofa bed but was very comfortable, we didn't bother putting it away each morning just left it out :) Pool area lovely and clean. Small charge for sun beds and parasols at 20 kuna each per day which is basically nothing. No annoying queues or waking up early for a sun bed either. We went down to the pool at 10am each day and managed to get sun beds no problem. Cannot fault the food. Very good prices and brilliant service. Everywhere you go though seems to sell the same things, not loads of variety if you're a picky eater like myself. Would definitely recommend a trip out to a national park, which are good prices and work out about £30 each. Hopper bus for a tour around Pula, 90 kuna each (under £9) hop on hop off service and 24 hour valid ticket. Aquarium too meters away from the hotel very good price entry. I was very surprised for the what we saw for the amount we paid. I could go on forever. If your are considering booking here go ahead and book you will not be disappointed. Would definitely come back here; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Marilena Hotel; City: Amoudara Crete; Review: if I could give zero stars I totally would. been put her due to our flight being delayed (as from other reviews this place looks like the place to come for delayed passengers). outside the sign states four stars. complete and utter crap. I've seen better two stars than this place and to say that they could accommodate 126 people easily says it all. rooms smell stale, I could sleep better on concrete than these beds. don't even want to entertain the food, Thomson rep even laughed and said how it was "only just edible". bathrooms are a joke, bath look like it's been made for a five year old, shower head not made for people taller than 5ft floors are dirty and i would advise wearing some form of footwear constantly as within minutes of getting out the shower my feet were black bar staff rude and doesn't look happy to be working there. receptionist however was more pleasant. quite a number of stray dogs and cats roaming around. I would not stay here even if you paid me. avoid; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Stella Palace Resort Spa; City: Analipsi Hersonissos Crete; Review: Came here on a family holiday late September. Soon as we got off the coach there was two members of staff taking away the cases, which for me is quite unsettling as I like to see and have my case on me. After checking in we were taken to our rooms via a golf buggy, which was greatly appreciated and the young man pointed out where the restaurants were and what times the meals were. Rooms were lovely and clean, no problems, with daily towel changes if you leave your towels in the bath. We had a pool view, which could get noisy at night if there was entertainment on but this stopped by 11pm. Pool areas clean with plenty of sun beds to go around, comfy sunbeds too being a nice bonus. Large choice of foods in the buffet restaurant with two alacarte restaurants, Asian was my favourite :) fresh omelettes made to order every morning. Room service available but at extra cost and extra payment for certain alcoholic beverages. All staff nice and friendly. Favourite was Dr Zulu! Lovely and welcoming and very funny. not the best Beach I've seen but people do go down here. Not many bars within walking distance but 12 euros to the local town is worth the visit with lots of restaurants and bars to choose from Would consider coming back :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort Spa Casino; City: Meloneras Gran Canaria Canary Islands; Review: My partner and I visited Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort early September and it was without a doubt the best hotel I have been too. We arrived fairly late at night due to a small delay, however transfer was pretty swift; greeted at the hotel with complimentary champagne upon check in and smiles from the staff. We were booked in a standard double room, which was lovely. Our room was on the ground floor, view views of a garden and looking on to the mini golf, a spacious double bed with plenty of storage for clothes, lovely marble bathroom with bath and a separate shower. Mini bar but came with a price, topped up daily. Sheets changed daily and fresh towels daily if you left them in the bath. Safe available but at an extra price of €2.30 a day, in this day you would expect a safe to be free however this isn't something that would ruin my holiday :) air con is a gods send also! The infinity pool has to be the best pool ever. It does get quite busy however you never seem to notice with how big it is. Plenty of sun beds around, however if you reserve your sun beds inbetween 8-10am then your towels do get removed, although we only saw this happen 3-4 days max in the 10 days we were there. Lots of palm trees around so I advise going to the pool before 10am to get a decent sun bed if you worship the sun. Pool towels can b changed daily in the kiosk around the pool, at a charge of €1 per towel, monies go to charity for these. Areas around the pool very clean with life guards present through the day. I can not comment on other pools as we only stayed around the infinity pool. The beach was a short walk away, out the secure gate at the back and then left at the light house. We came bed and breakfast for our stay. Lots of choice with hot and cold foods, fruits etc. We did have the option to eat in the buffet style restaurants for dinner however €25 each was quite steep so we decided against this as we are both fairly fussy eaters. We also didn't use other restaurants within the hotel as we like to get out and walk in the evening. There is also a charge for Wifi, again something which comes for free in other hotels. €2 a day I believe however with our networks now having free roaming, texts and calls within the EU we just used our data. Lots of high end shopping and restaurants within walking distance out the back of the hotel. All lovely and nobody pesters you to eat in their restaurant which we found nice :) Well worth the visit We will be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Park Inn by Radisson Manchester City Centre; City: Manchester Greater Manchester England; Review: My mother and I stopped here for one night late January as we were watching Strictly Come Dancing at the arena. On arrival we were too early for check in so we were allowed to store our luggage in a luggage room; very handy. Upon checking into our room after the show, the room appeared clean and tidy. My mother’s bed however had a loose leg holding up the bed, notified reception however nothing was done about the problem, beds fairly comfortable. Bathroom clean, ?extractor fan not working as steam from shower did not clear for hours on mirrors. Breakfast was a disappointment “hot” breakfast was cold and tasteless. However we did eat lunch here which was reasonably priced and tasty. Most staff friendly and smiley. Walking distance to the arena which was a bonus and cheap taxi fair to restaurants and shopping.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hotel Garmischer Hof; City: Garmisch Partenkirchen Upper Bavaria Bavaria; Review: My wife and I have stayed at the Garmischer Hof six different times. We LOVE the breakfast, the clean rooms and the spa. Staff has always been friendly and many of the same people since 1998. We have sent five or six other couples to the hotel and they also had a great experience. Convenient walk to train station and town. Love the feather beds and view of the mountains. Ask for rooms in the back and sit on your deck for lovely view. Enjoy coffee out back and smell the fresh Garmisch air.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bonotto Hotel Belvedere; City: Bassano Del Grappa Province of Vicenza Veneto; Review: Stayed here with family and we liked the accommodations and loved the city. Ask for a bigger room if you have a chance. Only two people per room for most of the hotel. Breakfast was OK but nice to start off with something. Great value and right across the street from the Roman Wall that is the old town. Cross the street (look both ways as not everyone stops)and you are in a great part of town. Overlook the park and great view of the mountains.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Anteliz Suites; City: Fira Santorini Cyclades South Aegean; Review: My family of four stayed here the first week of August. The hotel is incredible! We rented the family suite and it was breathtaking. Plenty of space. 2nd floor balcony that was the real deal. Bathroom and shower area were huge. The staff was incredible and always helpful. Breakfast on the terrace was a slice of heaven. 2nd time in Santorini and we will only stay here from now on.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Motel One Salzburg Mirabell; City: Salzburg Austrian Alps; Review: This very nice and clean hotel is in a great location. Right along the river with walking and bicycle trails on both sides. Walk out the front door to great views and a walking path into the main part/old town. The staff was great. European breakfast was very good and the staff was constantly restocking and cleaning up. Very efficient and a great way to start the morning. Rooms are clean and beds are awesome. Open the windows and sleep for hours. Very quiet at night and felt safe.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Residences El Faro; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: The condo complex is in the best location and the facilities are great. Third time in playa and we will be back to el faro. Pool is nice and our condo is great. Each condo differs depending on who owns them. Plenty of sand in front of the building and close to tons of convenience stores, bars and restaurants.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Moon Palace Jamaica; City: Ocho Rios Saint Ann Parish Jamaica; Review: The Moon Palace is a great resort. Went with six other families and all of us had kids between eight and 16 years old. Food was very good and plentiful. Easy to get into the sit down restaurants if you go there before 6:30 PM. Most places open at 6 PM and it is wise to be down there between 5:45 and 6:15 PM otherwise you will get seated in the second seating around 8 PM. No set seatings but after a week this seemed to be the trend. Ate in all five restaurants and all were very good. Staff is always helpful and know that meals take longer and come in courses. The buffet is a great option and the food changed a little bit each night. The grilled pork chops and steaks are tasty. prepared at a grill station and don't be shy about asking for two. Get down to the beach area before 9 AM if you want a good chair location. Reserve chairs that you are actually going to use. Lots of people setting towels down and showing up five hours later or only using half of what they reserved. Saw bickering everyday about chairs so grab a staff person to assist if you want something adjusted. During the day you have a lot to do between the beach, pool and water activities. You need a parent to sign in a kid when doing the flow rider or water toys. Definitely do the dolphin adventure and snorkeling. You can use your resort credit but they still charge you a 16% tax. No big deal just know that it is not completely free. Still worth the money! Comes out to be about $15.00 per person for these activities. The shows at night vary but overall were good. The Karoake/Steel Drum Band was the best they had to offer all week. The Steel Drum Band (name?)was very entertaining! Loud bar and Martini Bar are great for adults. The kids and teens have their own lounges which were really nice. My only complaint with the property is the loud music from town on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The noise is NOT from the MP property but from the "lounge" in town. The must have the bass at +10 because you can feel it in your bones. Light sleepers should add a sound making app to their phone or drink more those nights. No need to go off property unless you want hundreds of people to ask you if you want to buy their stuff. Ocho Rios has shops but everything can be found at the airport or hotel for a little more. Save your time and skip the town. Skip the hotel tour/vacation club presentation. Everyone knows that you can buy memberships and time shares on the secondary market for 90% off. Just go to redweek dot com or search online. At no time are resort credits worth two hours of harassment. If you like to be harassed go into town and look interested in a local shop. Great property!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Autobiography of Charles Darwin: 1809-1882; Author: Visit Amazon's Charles Darwin Page; Review: Reading this book was a wonderful insight into the mind of Darwin. So much of what he said and stood for has been twisted by interest groups. It is possible to walk into this book with the preconceptions that Darwin opposed God and was seeking to glorify himself and his theories at the expense of religion. What follows, though, is a wonderfully humble account of his life and his works. He writes, "My views have often been grossly misrepresented, bitterly opposed and ridiculed, but this has been generally done, as I believe, in good faith. On the whole I do not doubt that my works have been over and over again greatly overpraised." In passages such as these it is astonishing to see the strength of character that he possessed in dealing with the controversy of his writings. Hand in hand with his humility was also his thoughtfulness and gentleness. In speaking of the time that he abused a puppy, he reconstructs it as a great mistake whose consequences shaped his character very much. Over and over, he refers to how fond he was of certain people and how much others helped him along. Despite his reputation as one of the greatest scientists ever, he repeatedly acknowledges everyone else before he props himself up. I highly recommend this book. What is turns out to be a short read may change your view of the man and his controversy forever.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Charles Darwin: The Naturalist Who Started a Scientific Revolution; Author: Visit Amazon's Cyril Aydon Page; Review: As a Darwin novice, this book was a wonderful introduction to the life of Darwin. It was written in a very clear and concise manner that was also accessible. Although it never went into great depth with any of the material, it was comprehensive enough that anyone wishing to study anything more about Darwin would be able to see the relationships and events in his life worth exploring. For instance, it may not be immediately clear in looking at an isolated event in Darwin's life how much his health played a factor in all that he did. From his inability to socialize (spelled "socialise" in the UK) due to his digestive rumblings and vomiting to his constant water treatments, Darwin's sickness greatly influenced both his pace of work and his ability to self-promote in scientific circles of the time. Aydon's book did a wonderful job bringing out the threads (e.g. the sicknesses, his deep love of family, his equanimity) that connected the events of his life. I especially liked the chapters "Forced Into the Open" and "The Battle Rages". The former excellently brings the reader into the turmoil that forced Darwin to work at breakneck speed to make his theory public before his competitor did. When Lyell's children mangle a chapter of Origin, Aydon makes Darwin's near mental/physical collapse seem almost palpable. The latter is a great panorama of how Darwin's theory impacted his Victorian society. Really a wonderful read! I highly recommend this book!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Voyage of the Beagle; Author: Visit Amazon's Charles Darwin Page; Review: Any man who can rave about rock stratifications for pages is worthy of being read. Darwin puts on display all of the faculties that were to eventually make his name known around the world. Although he selects specific events, he painstakingly describes each one in great detail. However, he never gets lost in the jargon or in repetitive observations that are simply said in different respects. For instance, he describes the "fireflies [that] are seen flittin about from hedge to hedge" emitting the "most brilliant flashes." He then proceeds to speak about the shining matter, how the insects lit when poked with a needle, and even the fact that the insect shone continuously after being decaptitated. He even puts in a section about the larvae and how the "feigned" death whenever touched. This is indicative of how he treats all of his subjects - with the utmost care and attention to detail. However, what makes this work stand out from others is the sense of wonder that he is able to convey in all of this. Yes, it is a very technical work at times, but he never lets the reader forget that he is observing this and loving every minute. Of course this is done in the most understated way (completely Victorian), which makes it all the more amusing to watch. In describing the odour (yes, British spelling) of a buck, he says, "I is quite indescribable: several times whilst skinning the specimen... I was almost overcome by nausea. I tied up the skin in a silk pocket-handkerchief, and so carried it home: this handkerchief, after being well washed, I continually used, and it was , of course, as repeatedly washed; yet every time, for the space of one year and seven months, when first unfolded, I distinctly preceived the odour." His prose is so precise and elegant, filled with dependent clauses, as though he is delivering an oration, yet he never loses that understated touch of wit at which he is so deft. This book is definitely worth a read!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The God Delusion; Author: Visit Amazon's Richard Dawkins Page; Review: Richard Dawkins presents a stunningly written piece of work in The God Delusion. Not only are his arguments crystal clear and perfectly cohesive, they are effective and convincing. It is very interesting to get a scientist's critique on an habitually philosophical question. While his arguments may not ring with academic philosophy, they certainly point out many of the flaws with it as science sees it. At the end of the day, the average person lives in the reality of this world and thus is less affected by philosophical blathering and more with the arguments that Dawkins makes. I absolutely love the way that Dawkins takes apart the differences between science and religion. That science is an empirical art which looks to elucidate the unknown as opposed to religion which "worships the gaps" is, I would say, one of his most important points if we are trying to look at the history of science. This interplay between sicence and religion is one of the most important conflicts of our day - starting with Galileo (who was just pardoned in the last 20 years) to the Scopes Trial to our present Kansas School Board v. Irrefutable Evidence. Where we draw the line for the territory of science and the territory of religion is a very mercurial distinction. Dawkins makes the interesting argument that if we use empirical thinking in all aspect of our life, we will realize that religion is completely irrational. It is time that we finally had a brilliant argument free of ad hominem attacks and name-calling; Dawkins does a wonderful job.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Barms Farm; City: Buxton Derbyshire England; Review: What more can I say that hasn't already been said in other reviews?? Our stay here was perfect in every way. Lorraine is an incredibly professional, welcoming and friendly proprietor, who has clearly thought of everything when it comes to assuring the guest's comfort and convenience. Our room was immaculate, homely and very spacious - the bathroom in particular was huge and very well equipped. The breakfasts were outstanding and guaranteed that you wouldn't be hungry until tea time! The location of the B&B is ideal - it's close enough to Buxton to be convenient, but far enough away to give you a sense of being out in the countryside. We took our bikes and the location served perfectly as a base for exploring the area on two wheels. Overall, Barms Farm was everything that we could have wanted from a B&B - a 2 night’s stay just didn't seem long enough!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ammes Apartments; City: Svoronata Cephalonia Ionian Islands; Review: This was our second visit to Ammes Apartments, as our first was pretty much perfect. We’re pleased to say that our return trip didn't disappoint! The highlights for us: Location: The apartments are positioned close to Ammes beach, a stunning and (thankfully) undersubscribed beach, with golden sands, a shallow slope and clear blue waters. It's also within walking distance of several excellent restaurants (Fois being one of our favourites). As other reviews have pointed out, it’s located directly under the flight path of the airport, but the planes are infrequent enough for this to actually be quite an exciting novelty as opposed to a nuisance (at times, the planes seem close enough to touch!). There's no denying that (with the exception of the occasional plane) Svoronata is a quiet, relatively remote part of Kefalonia. However, this can add to its appeal, and, by hiring a car for a few days to explore the rest of the island (Argostoli is a 15 minute drive away), it can serve as an ideal base from which you can investigate Kefalonia. Accommodation: Compared to other resorts, the accommodation could be considered a little basic. However, it's very functional and gives you everything you need for a self-catering or B&B stay. The rooms are clean and spacious (some have balconies with sea-views - try and request this if you can), the beds are comfortable, the shower always had warm water and there was a small kitchenette / fridge in our room that came in handy. What more do you need?? Facilities: The pool area is clean and well maintained, with plenty of sun loungers. The pool-bar is amazing and does an excellent selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, along with a tasty bar menu (the freshly-made pizzas and baguettes are awesome). There’s also a restaurant attached to the apartments, which serves excellent food and is highly recommended. Staff: Probably the greatest asset to this hotel is its staff, in particular Isabella - one of the friendliest (and hardest working) people we've ever met! She keeps the customers at the pool-bar fed, watered and entertained with her stories and is the primary reason why people can be found at the bar until the early hours of the morning (even people from neighbouring resorts!). She is the driving force behind the friendly, intimate atmosphere at the apartments, which was one of the main reasons that we’re repeat visitors. Overall, Ammes Apartments provides an ideal base from which you can either explore the island or spend your days lazing by the pool or beach. The family run location gave us everything that we needed and the well planned and run facilities, such as the pool-bar, and the exceptional staff (Hello, Isabella!) created a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. We’ll be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Manhattan 35th St Empire State Bldg; City: New York City New York; Review: If you need a base from which to explore NYC, then this hotel is perfect. It's ideally located minutes away from the 'fashion district' if shopping is your thing, and there are also two subway stations close by that allow you to connect to the main lines heading downtown (Soho, Greenwich, etc) and uptown (towards Central Park). It's also walking distance from Madison Square Gardens and Times Square. The rooms are stylish, spacious, comfortable and very well equipped - the beds are huge. Although its located in a busy part of town, it's not overly noisy and we got an excellent nights sleep. The staff are friendly and helpful and provide luggage storage if you want to squeeze in a little more exploration of the city before you head back to the airport on your last day. Breakfast was fine, although I would recommend getting down there as early as possible, as it got pretty busy and stuff ran out faster than it could be replenished! Overall, a highly recommended hotel in an excellent location.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Le Meridien Bangkok; City: Bangkok; Review: We stayed at Le Meridien for 3 nights before heading down to the coast via Krabi. This was our first visit to Bangkok and we wanted to stay somewhere that would provide a good base for allowing us to explore the city, but also a comfortable 'retreat' for when we needed a break from the chaos! Le Meridien confidently ticked both of these boxes. It's located in the Patpong district, which, as noted in other reviews, is the heart of the 'entertainment' district with a wide variety of bars and clubs nearby. This was not an issue for us in the slightest as it actually meant that we were on the doorstep of a highly vibrant and fascinating part of town, hosting a bustling night market and an abundance of good quality places to eat nearby (the Mango Tree is just around the corner from the hotel - excellent quality Thai food, albeit not the cheapest restaurant in town). However, I do agree that the location may not be to everyone’s tastes. The hotel is also a 10 minute walk from two of the main metro lines, allowing you to head to the east and the north of the city (including a connection to the Sky Train from the airport), or south-west to the river. There's also an abundance of taxis and tuk-tuks rolling through the area to take you to the north-west (China Town , Royal Palace , etc). The hotel itself has clearly been designed with the guest's comfort and convenience in mind and with an extraordinary attention to detail. The room facilities are exceptional; even down to fresh coffee making facilities with 'take-away' cups provided so that you can take your coffee with you in the morning - a small, but nice touch. We stayed in a corner room which is slightly bigger than a deluxe room and affords wider views of the city. The staff that we dealt with were all friendly and attentive and the level and quality of service was generally very high. We also had breakfast on one of the mornings during our stay and this too surpassed all expectations - the level of choice and quality of food was incredible. Even if you don't have it included in your stay, it's definitely worth indulging yourself, at least once. The two main bars in the hotel offer a good selection of drinks and snacks (maybe a bit on the pricy side) and the pool / gym area is well equipped. We were so impressed with our stay that we actually booked another night at Le Meridien for our final day 'stop-over' in Bangkok en-route from Krabi back to the UK . In the interests of a ‘balanced’ review, we tried hard to find fault with Le Meridien, but absolutely nothing came to mind - this really was one of our most pleasant and enjoyable hotel stays anywhere in the world!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pennsylvania Farm; City: Bath Somerset England; Review: My girlfriend and I stayed at Pennsylvania Farm this weekend and had a lovely stay. The room we were allocated was very spacious and had a nice cosy feel to it. The room had everything that we could have needed. The owners were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was awesome! We were well catered for and would certainly return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Careys Manor Hotel SenSpa; City: Brockenhurst New Forest National Park Hampshire Hampshire Eng; Review: This was our third visit to Carey's Manor and it just improves each time. All aspects of the hotel contribute to a thoroughly satisfying stay: the rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean, the grounds and surroundings are stunning and well maintained, and the staff are welcoming and friendly. The breakfasts are exceptional and prepare you well for the day ahead. We always have dinner in the restaurant on one night during our stay, as the menu is always excellent and the food never disappoints. The spa facilities are good, although the pool area can become quite crowded during peak season and you may struggle to secure a lounger next to the pool. Finally, the location of the hotel is exceptional - Brockenhurst is lovely and is an ideal base from which you can explore everything that this gorgeous part of the country has to offer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Soho Grand Hotel; City: New York City New York; Review: There are numerous reasons as to why we were so satisfied with our stay at the Soho Grand. First, the staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful - from the moment we arrived, nothing was too much trouble. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean and, despite facing onto West Broadway, was actually pretty quiet, although it did help that we were 7 floors up. The breakfasts that were included in the stay were pretty straightforward, but did the job and were very tasty - you could always order additional items if so desired. Again, the waiting staff were friendly and attentive. Clearly, a great deal of thought and attention has been put into the presentation, decor and design of the hotel - it's stimulating and has been executed very well. Finally, for us, the location was perfect - when in Manhattan, we spend most of our time around Soho, so we had most of what we wanted practically on our doorstep. Overall, we were left very happy with our stay at the Soho Grand and would certainly book here again in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Opera Plaza Hotel; City: Cluj Napoca Cluj County Northwest Romania Transylvania; Review: Although my stay in the Opera Plaza Hotel was brief, I was pleasantly surprised - it's not your usual anonymous, large city-based hotel - it's got character! The room was large and very comfortable - not the kind of bed you want to get up from! The breakfast selection was vast and very tasty. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Unlike some of the other hotels in Cluj, this one is actually within easy walking distance of the main city centre. A very pleasant stay - I hope to return soon.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ammes Hotel; City: Svoronata Cephalonia Ionian Islands; Review: This was our third stay at Ammes Hotel. There are a number of reasons as to why we keep going back. First, the location is excellent - within walking distance of a couple of great beaches, as well as some high quality restaurants (you will ideally need to hire a car if you want to get into Argostoli or explore the island, but this is par for the course). Second, the amenities at Ammes Hotel give you everything you need - the pool and the lounger area is ideal for lazy days, the pool bar is excellent, with a great selection of food and drinks and the rooms themselves are basic but very clean and comfortable. Third, and probably most important, the staff are friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful. A huge thanks to Isabella and George, who are the life and soul of Ammes Hotel. Isabella does an incredible job running the pool bar - nothing is too much trouble (even after a very late night looking after guests until the early hours!) and the sense of community she creates is the reason why people return year after year. We'll be back...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Absalon Hotel; City: Copenhagen Zealand; Review: We had a three night stay at the Absalon Hotel in mid-December. We were attracted to it because of its location and favourable reviews and we weren't disappointed. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the station, the main shopping district, Tivoli, the central parks and the harbour. It is also ideally positioned to explore the west of Copenhagen and the excellent restaurants, bars and shopping that this area offers. The hotel itself is modern, very clean and has good facilities. The buffet breakfasts were fantastic, although quite busy. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only negative for us was the size of the room and, in particular, the bed (approx. 4' wide - smaller than a double I think!). We thought this was the norm (based upon other reviews we had read), but from having the occasional glance into other rooms whilst they were being cleaned, it appears that we might have been a little unlucky. Maybe worth mentioning this when you reserve a room. However, despite this, we would certainly recommend Absalon as an ideal base from which to explore the gorgeous city of Copenhagen.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Corsair Hydro Series H110i GTX Cooling; Brand: Corsair; Review: This AiO cooler really backs up the marketing aspect of in sheer terms of performance. This is keeping my I7-6700k overlocked @ 4.7 GHZ at a chilly 30C on idle. When stress testing in OCCT, my CPU does not go above 70C under full load. An exceptional closed-loop cooler here. In most cases, you get what you pay for, and to be honest, if you're spending about $30-$40 more on this than the H100i model, you will reap the benefits of a larger radiator and bigger fans to move more air. This product delivers the performance I expect in Corsair. My build is all Corsair and Asus, so I'm a little biased. I'm a firm believer in quality though. You won't be disappointed. On a side note, I highly recommend to remove and purify the cold plate before installation, as the pre-applied stuff is just too thin to hold a tolerance. As far as thermal paste, go for Gelid's GC-extreme - best stuff on the market.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Intel Core i7 6700K 4.00 GHz Unlocked Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151 [BX80662I76700K]; Brand: Intel; Review: I had an Ivy i-3570k that served me well since February of '13. Had it @ a comfortable 4.2Ghz. Could I have held off 2+ years? Sure. But I thought to enhance the durability for my CPU for an additional 4-5 more years and do a complete build with the works (motherboard, RAM, PSU, SSD's). I completed the build about 3 weeks ago, and I gotta say, OCing this chip manually, I settled on a 4.5 Ghz @ a cool 1.25V with headroom given the new 1000W platinum certified PSU I have with a delicious 12V rail. I messed around and got to a "17%" overclock according to ASUS' BIOS by getting the chip up to 4.7GHZ @ 1.42V. via OCCT, but crashed about 5 minutes in. Some room for improvement, but with a premium cooler (I prefer liquid) and a top shelf thermal paste, temps are a chilly 26C on idle, 45C on gaming load, and 60-65C on stressing levels (4.5Ghz, mind you). The only con I have of this chip is that it doesn't cook me breakfast! *gigglesnort* Seriously though, if you have the means and the desire, get this CPU and you will not regret it. At the end of the day, to each their own. I upgraded to 'Skylake' out of sheer desire, not out of necessity. You WILL love this chip if you are coming off of anything older than my previous chip (Ivy) such as a Sandy, Pentium, or AMD equivalent processor. I'm delightfully satisfied with this CPU in terms of performance improvements, the hyperthreading (coming from an i5) for multiple app tasks, its overclocking potential, and its temperatures. I recommend it to you without a doubt, as long as your budget can handle the additional required hardware you may need mentioned in paragraph one. My 'Skylake' build specs and some pictures: *CPU - Intel i7-6700K (4.5 for now; not in a hurry to increase it) *CPU Cooler - Corsair H110i GTX AiO Liquid cooler (My H100i broke, I upgraded to the H110i) *Motherboard - ASUS Maximus Hero VIII *RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 16GB (3000 Mhz) *GPU - ASUS STRIX 980TI 6 GB (OC edition) *Chassis - Corsair 760T Graphite Series (White Edition) *Storage - SAMSUNG 850 Pro 256 GB SSD (Boot drive), SAMSUNG 850 EVO 1 TB SSD, Intel 750 Series NVME SSD 400 GB *PSU - Corsair HX1000i (80+ Platinum Certified) (A bit overkill for non-SLI, but I got a good price for it.) *Fans - Corsair AF120's (x2) and AF140's (x4), White Edition LED *OS - Windows 10 Home, 64 Bit; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ASUS STRIX GeForce GTX 980TI Overclocked 6 GB DDR5 384-bit DisplayPort HDMI 2.0 DVI-I Gaming Graphics Card; Brand: Asus; Review: Fantastic GPU. I currently own a 30" Nixeus monitor that displays in 2560x1600. This card rips through every game in my library, with all the eye candy turned on. I primarily bought this card to future proof my PC for the new generation of games coming out, most notably, Fallout 4. I'm coming from an EVGA 780 TI Classified that, although the base and boost clock speeds were good, there was only 3 GB of VRAM. This certainly makes a difference if you decide to play at higher resolutions, and also if you have an overclockable monitor. GTA V feels like I'm playing a movie with this card. The STRIX software suite as two modes that I like, the gaming mode and OC mode. There's also an option called 'Gaming Booster' which will terminate the unused Windows background processes in order to transfer those resources to gaming performance. You can turn it off at will. I seriously recommend this ASUS offering. EVGA is a phenomenal company as well. But after looking at the other aftermarket 980TI's, I wanted to go a different route and switch it out for a couple years. Plus 95% of my build is ASUS/Corsair anyway, it just matched.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Samsung 850 PRO - 1TB - 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-7KE1T0BW); Brand: Samsung; Review: I'm using this drive as my primary (C) boot drive and have a 1TB EVO SSD as my main storage drive. The Samsung Magician software complements both drives well, ensuring the latest firmware updates are easily accessible and available. I also bought a PCIe NVME Intel 400GB SSD but found out later that it doesn't work with the Z170 'Skylake' chip set yet as a boot drive. No big deal. I'm using that for a game drtve with the EVO. SATA III is getting old now and is going to be replaced by NVME eventually, but in my opinion SATA III still works fast. Wonderful boot drive as I said.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Titanic A&E Documentary VHS; Brand: David McCallum; Review: Titanic: The Complete Story has seen very many different treatments and product packaging from VHS to a more current DVD treatment for the centenary. This version, however, released in 2002, is the one I own. It is magnificent. The first two documentaries: Titanic Death of a Dream, and Titanic The Legend Lives On were part of an original 1994 A & E special broadcast. The third documentary, released during the Cameron Titanic mania age in 1998, takes a look at Titanic throughout the generations in various forms of either print media or movies. That's all well and good, and has been described countless times by other reviews before me, and much more eloquently. I would like to bring your attention to the first two documentaries in this series which truly make this box set. They were created during a time when documentaries actually meant something, and were not full of errors and personal agendas, as they are now. They tell the complete story of the Titanic, from inception to death, to aftermath. The look and feel of the work is truly impressive and transports the viewer right back to the Edwardian age of the super liner. Utilizing period photos, brilliantly edited together with moving water imagery, these first two documentaries capture the true feel and essence of Titanica! The music is also fantastic and fits well with the period. The accuracy of information is striking especially compared to more recent documentaries. This is one documentary you will cherish forever and will want to watch over and over again. If you want to be transported back to Titanic, the true Titanic without all the fluff of modern media hype, before the age of Cameron's glossy take on the tragedy....get this documentary! You will NOT regret it! The third documentary was interesting enough, but not one that particularly stand out as anything special. I could have done without it, simply because I'd taped it off of the TV when it originally aired in 1998. It may be interesting to some, but for me was rather lack luster and I'm not really one who cares too much about a documentary detailing how Titanic has appeared in media throughout the ages. Its the first two documentaries in this set that made me purchase it, oh and the fact that my VHS of those two were completely burnt out!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Merlin: Season 1; Brand: Colin Morgan; Review: I started watching this series rather recently and had never heard of it before. I was a little reluctant to start watching this show (thinking it would be too amateur and childish) but have since become a fan! The series started off a little rocky and I remember rolling my eyes at some of the more sillier aspects of the story and characters (Uther Pendragon's rather foolish and irritating ways for example), however as the series as progressed the stories have become better, the characters and acting more settled. I love the fact that very minimal computer CG effects have been utilized, Camelot for instance actually does exist! You can visit the castle in France! I remember being quite surprised when I discovered that fact. Those elements give this series an authenticity that is lacking in other fantasy shows. The actors who play the leads are quite entertaining and brilliantly cast. Arthur and Merlin (Bradly James and Colin Morgan) are a perfect blend and play off each other rather well; Bradley being your quintessential medieval prince both in looks and demeanor (even down to his voice), and Colin the bumbling, goofy looking side kick who never quite gets the credit he deserves. The two leads are supported by a host of other well respected actors who bring their A game to the series. "Merlin" is filmed well enough for a TV series and the sets, props and costumes are minimalistic yet well designed. This show is a carefree and fun ride that I think most people will enjoy and has turned this critic into a loyal subject! :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Puncture; Brand: Chris Evans; Review: I thought this movie was quite good. The story line was solid and Chris Evan's performance was quite stellar. It brought a new level of respect for him as an actor. Quite an interesting movie to check out.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ken Follett's World Without End; Brand: Ben Chaplin; Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this series. From just a series point of view it is very enjoyable and exciting to watch. I found myself on the edge of my seat and wanting to make my way to the next episode after finishing a previous one. I understand that it varies substantially from the book at times (which I have not read yet) and for those who are watching it after reading the book I'm sorely sorry for you. I do agree with some other reviews that some of the characters could have been fleshed out a bit more, but I guess those types of scenes were cut for pacing reasons. All in all its a very enjoyable viewing experience and one that was so influential that I went out and bought both books (Pillars of the Earth and World Without End) as well as this dvd of the program.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies [DVD] [2015]; Brand: ; Review: An excellent cap off to Peter Jackson's triumphant Middle-earth saga. I loved all the added extra scenes which really enriched the plot-lines and story of the film. I cannot praise Jackson and his team enough for digging deeper into the lore of Tolkien and extracting all the good story lines not otherwise seen in the main body of the text of The Hobbit and LOTR, adding them into this movie. It really sets the stage for the epic first trilogy of LOTR, and the tie-ins are seamless and beautifully placed. Several jaw dropping scenes will definitely keep you watching these film time and again for years to come. I cannot, and refuse to believe, that this is the end of Middle-earth for now. I hope another director, or Jackson himself, takes up the tales of this precious land filled with hobbits, dwarves, elves, humans, and yes, even orcs...and gives us fans another round of good, solid, heart-warming movies! Heres to a 6 part epic sit-down viewing fest! Try saying that 6 times fast.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Le Divorce; Author: Diane Johnson; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: I, too would have liked to rate this book 2-1/2. Fortunately, i was in Paris as i read this and i think that helped me to keep reading. A couple of interesting cultural observations, but weak, unbeliable story line. On the plus side, it was nice to read about an American adjusting to living in Paris.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Before I Forget; Author: Leonard Pitts Jr.; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: Toni Morrison said, "If the book you want to read hasn't been written, you must write it." This novel by Leonard Pitts is one of the novels that get me off the hook. This is a story I've wanted to read for a while, a rare glimpse into the hearts of Black men. It opens with the main character Mo Johnson being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimers disease and 5 days later his son Trey is involved in an armed robbery of a convience store. Thus, Mo begins a reflection of his life as he tries to make decisions about his future. Three generations are covered as we learn of Mo's relationship with his estranged father and his relationship with his only son. Feelings of pride and regret, love and indifference, guilt and innocence are reviewed. The characters in this book are well developed and very realistic. Many of them felt like people I know; not perfect, just human. There are surprises, secrets, a bit of humor and at the core - Love. Some may consider the ending a bit tidy but for me is was complete with no loose ends. Poignant, enlightening and contemplative are a few words to describe this outstanding debut novel. Favorite quotes: "To lose your memory is not just to lose everything you have. It's to lose everything you are. It's to lose your very self. What are you without the things you remember?" p.59 "Life is thinking about those consequences, even when you are not. Life says, you can do this, or you can do that. You take this, but it will cost you that. Now choose. Now Choose." p. 325; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Black Water Rising; Author: Attica Locke; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: Mysteries are not my favorite genre, but Black Water Rising by Attica Locke could be the start of a change of heart. The plot was well crafted and every piece of this puzzle fit together perfectly. Jay Porter is a young lawyer who is not doing so well. His law practice is floundering and he can barely meet his bills. Although an activist while in college, he is a bit 'shell-shocked' from being prosecuted for civil rights activities and he is settling into a mediocre existence awaiting the birth of his first child. While trying to celebrate his wife's birthday, he rescues a woman from the bayou and thus begins a story line that truly captures Houston of the late 1970's and early 1980's. It is the beginning of Jay starting to face his past and decide what type of man he will be. Although dressed as a mystery, this is very much the story of a young man facing his past while reclaiming his purpose and future. Set in my hometown of Houston Texas, it was a treat to read about familiar neighborhoods and streets. The dialogue, speech patterns, and even the radio stations were authentic and true. The story was fast paced but still thorough. Moving back and forth through time to flesh out the characters was done skillfully and seamlessly. These characters were so believable that they reminded me of people I once knew. This kept me turned in and turning pages. I could not go five stars because of the ending. There were a few too many loose ends, but I guess that would have made this a 700 page book. Still, I have only a hearty Congratulations to Ms. Locke for this is a wonderful debut novel. I look forward to reading more of her work; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Ghana Must Go; Author: Taiye Selasi; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: Ghana Must Go - Sooo elegant and poetic. Beautiful writing. Good storyline too! I had no problem with the circularity of the novel, nor with the going back and forth in time. Very well done. The characters are complex. Imperfect, but I still cared for them and rooted for their survival and growth. The story is sad and there is one absolutely horrible scene that I really could have lived without. The end ties up a bit too neatly, or perhaps I just wanted the book to last longer :) This is a strong debut novel from a very talented writer. I'm looking forward to future books from this writer. One of many favorite quotes: "...the new house was massive, a cavity. Holow. The center of gravity had shifted for the family, though no one seemed to notice the movement but him: instead of Kweku and Fola at the center, together, a twosome talking softly, laughing softly, present, home, there was now the small open space left by their absence, she lost to the baby. he lost to work.

Title: Little Green: An Easy Rawlins Mystery (Easy Rawlins #12); Author: Walter Mosley; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I really rate this book 3.5 stars. I always enjoy reading about the adventures of Easy and Mouse and was glad to do it once again. I did want more out of the story. Specifically what inspired Walter Mosley to bring Easy back to life, but I never got that "Wow" moment. Mr. Mosley's social commentary is always on point. And because I like his writing so much, I'm still looking forward to whatever comes next for these characters and others.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Presumption of Guilt: The Arrest of Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Race, Class and Crime in America; Author: Charles J. Ogletree Jr.; Genres: history, non-fiction, biography, historical fiction; Review: I would rate this book a 2.5 stars. It was a good reminder about why racial profilling should be a part of the national discussion. With all of the disrespect and harrassment happening to Louis Gates and all the other lawyers and distinguished people in this book, you can just imagine how horrific it is for less renown people of color. The examples definitely underscored how frequent this is happening, but after a while it became repetitive and many of the examples were too dated. (i.e. 1950's) I would have liked to have seen some acknowledgement of people who were not upper middle class. Also needed were at least one or two suggestions about what action can or should be taken.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Americanah; Author: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Sometimes, when you read one really good book by an author, the one next one can be a letdown. Not so with the work of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I read "Half a Yellow Sun" and loved it. Now, I've just finished AMERICANAH. I found her third novel to be just as good if not better than her second. If I could, I would give this book a 6 out of 5 :) One of the quotes in the book is "Why did people ask 'What's it about?' as if a novel had to be about only one thing." Ms. Adichie remained true to this quote with this book. AMERICANAH is many things - an immigrant story, a coming of age story, a social commentary about life in three countries and also a love story. Although this is quite an ambitious undertaking, Ms. Adichie succeeds, seamlessly and smoothly. This success is achieved through the structure of a good story. It is the story of Ifemelu a girl coming of age in Nigeria. Adichie starts by showing you what it is like to grow up in Nigeria at that time - family dynamics, social norms, etc. While a teenager in school, she falls in love in Obinze and we are introduced to his voice. Due to problems with the University in Nigeria, she transfers to America. In America she becomes aware of all the social dynamics that are a part of living as a "Non American Black." Her life in American covers the spectrum from student poverty to exposure to how the very wealthy live. Many of the nuances of American culture are spotlighted and no one is left unscathed - White Americans, Black Americans and fellow Africans living in America, Brittish - all under observant eye of Adichie. Adichie's observations are sharp and exact. Many of these observations are presented in the form of a blog Ifemelu writes. This blog becomes very popular and provides Ifemelu the financial success and freedom she needs. Meanwhile, Obinze goes to England. Through Odinze, we see what it is like to be an illegal immigrant in England. Both Obinze and Ifemelu return to Nigeria changed because of their experiences abroad. Ms. Adichie also explores the culture of Nigerians who have returned home after living abroad. Obinze becomes a financial success but makes some serious decisions about his life and Ifemelu returns apprehensive about love and life after non-fulfilling relationships with Americans. AMERICANAH is thoroughly enjoyable read. Sometimes sad, sometimes funny, always honest. As a long time reader, few books can make me go "Humm, I never thought about it this way" as well as "Wow, that is so true and perfectly said." I eagerly await whatever she writes next. Many of her interviews are online with TED Talks and Guardian. They are definitely worth viewing. I can't recommend this book enough.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Silver Sparrow: A Novel; Author: Tayari Jones; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: Silver Sparrow tells the story of a long term affair between one man and two women. Although not an unique scenario, this time the story is told by the two daughters. James Witherspoon has one daughter with his wife and one daughter with his girlfriend. The girls become friends, but only one of them knows that they are also sisters. Themes of rivalry, friendship, envy and hair are prominent in this book, as well as mother- daughter relationships. The best thing about this book is it is a reminder to adults that teens often see and know much more than we think. It's weakness: there is a certain depth to the writing that is missing. Perhaps this is because the story is being told from the viewpoint of teen girls. Also, I would have liked to know more about the character "Uncle Raleigh" and a few lines about the careers the girls choose for themselves. There is a bit of a 'soap-opera' feel but I read this book eagerly and quickly. Tayari Jones lured me into into the world of James Witherspoon with this provocative first sentence: "My father, James Witherspoon is a bigamist." My attention was captured and held by these characters. No "Wow" moments with the writing for me, but I was very entertained. I would definitely recommend this book for book groups or while traveling.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A People's History of the United States; Author: Howard Zinn; Genres: non-fiction, history, biography, historical fiction; Review: When was the last time you read non-fiction that just upon closing it you only wanted more? Even after 768 pages? Well, that was my experience with Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United states: 1492 to Present". I'm so glad I read this amazing book! It gives an overview of the history of the United States. The edition that I read starts with Columbus and ends in the Clinton years. Because it has been many, many years since I was in a formal history class, Zinn's work is an excellent review of facts and situations I remember, but he offers so much more. It is not a difficult book, or a boring one. It took me a long time to finish,only because life issues kept interrupting. (Travel, 6 weeks of visitors, etc.) However, as a result of this book, I now have a clearer understanding of how many of the same themes constantly repeat themselves under various situations throughout U.S.history. Howard Zinn's book helped me to "connect the dots". I also have a much clearer understanding about World War I and II, the Korean war and Vietnam. I also did not know about the violence associated with the beginnings of the unions, and how racism was and is repeated used to keep poor people divided. Mr. Zinn discusses all of this and more in an clear, concise way. Mr. Zinn doesn't just state ideas or ideologies either. Every thing is backed up with lots of research and facts placed in a historical context. I was constantly learning about events I knew either nothing about, or knew very little about. I really miss Howard Zinn now. I would love know of his impressions of what is happening now. But I can see it as a continuation of all that has happened in the past. That is the great gift of the book - to see the connections of history to current events. I can't recommend this book enough, and I am currently reading more of his work. This is A MUST READ.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Thousand Splendid Suns; Author: Khaled Hosseini; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, romance, fiction; Review: They say that "Timing is everything." Well, I think I am a victim of bad timing regarding the reading of this book. I really enjoy the work of Khaled Hosseini, but this book for me was just 'ok'. The characters were straight forward and perhaps a bit simplistic. This book is also emotional. You could not escape feeling some sadness or anger. But these emotions felt a bit forced or like manipulation. Some sections seemed a bit preachy. But overall, this is an enjoyable book about an unlikely friendship and alliance between two women in Afghanistan. Reading "And The Mountains Echoed" about 3 months ago which is filled with rich, layered characters, smooth and easy prose with an unpredictable, impressive story line, made this book seem lackluster. But, I do appreciate how much Hosseini has grown as a writer. Again, the book is not 'bad' just not his best work. Favorite quote: "She thought of her entry into this world, the harami child of a lowly villager, and unintended thing, a pitiable, regrettable accident. A weed. And yet she was leaving the world as a woman who had loved and been loved back. She was leaving it as a friend, a companion, a guardian. A mother. A reps of consequence at last. No It was not so bad, Mariam thought, that she should die this way. Not so bad. This was legitimate end to a life of illegitimate beginnings."; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: A Taste of Power - A Black Woman's Story; Author: Elaine Brown; Genres: history, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction; Review: A Taste Of Power This book is a more than a memoir, it is a classic tragedy. In A Taste Of Power, Elaine Brown recounts her life and exeperiences in the Black Panther Party. From the very first chapter in which she is announcing her leadership status to the general assembly, I was intrigued. However, the first chip in the romantic picture of the Panthers also, occurs here. The next third of the book is spent discussing Elaine's childhood. Raised in a poor neighborhoods in Philadelphia by her mother, we see the impact of poverty, her father's absence and segregation in her life. She drops out of college and ends up in California working as a waitress at a club. After breaking up with a her famous, married boyfriend. She becomes involved with the Black Power Movement. The second third of the book was my favorite part. The beginnings of the Black Panther Party and its goals were glorious and heady stuff. With the implementation of schools, free clinics, free bus rides to prisons and other social services, I understood how Elaine got caught up in the fever of the times. Also, I learned a lot about the Panther Party during this time. I had no idea that so many young, black men were killed by police during assaults on the Panther headquarters. The police with riot gear, tear gas, harassing and beating protestors, with people being hauled off to jail for trumped up charges, reminded me of Ferguson today. Unfortunately, you also start to see the chasms developing within the group. The demise starts subtle, with patriarchy and sexism. Next, problems of infighting and distrust. When violence or 'discipline' was added, I knew I was reading about an implosion. The last third of the book was spent reading about the downward spiral of the party. Drugs, violence within and without, infiltration and cointelpro, sexism, patriarchy, it was all too much. The end was inevitable. Still, I'm glad this book exists. It is a lesson to the next generation on 'What Not to do'. I've been told there was a lot of push back from former Panthers questioning the veracity of Elaine's version of events. Well, like the cliche goes "There's her side, his side and the Truth". I don't know if Elaine's version of the Black Panther Party is completely accurate, but I think the overall picture and general feeling is probably true. She paints an unflattering picture of the Panthers but she includes herself and shares a lot of her personal life, personal choices and flaws. I kept wondering about her daughter and who was caring for this child? Was the father ever involved? There are parts where the tone is a bit self serving, or perhaps naive, which is another reason I did not rate this book a '5'. In the end, I wanted a little more than the "flying into the sunset' ending. An "Afterward" would have been perfect. Just two or three paragraphs on what happened after the end. Answering the questions: Did she ever hear from; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Head Off & Split; Author: Nikky Finney; Genres: history, children, poetry, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: Nikky Finney's poems remind me of all the things I love about poetry: The linguistic skill of the writer, a willingness to cover interesting topics and most important, doing it in a way everyone can understand and appreciate. Like Langson Hughes, Nikki Giovanni, Gwendolyn Brooks, Haki Madhabuti, Lucille Clifton the tradition continues. Political, Poignant, Passionate and Personal, a very enjoyable book. Favorite poem - "Alice Butler" Ms. Finney received the National Book Award in 2011 for this volume of poetry and her acceptance speech is also included in the edition that I read, but for a real treat, look it up on YouTube. Hearing her acceptance speech is phenomenal.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Tempest Tales; Author: Walter Mosley; Genres: thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: In this entertaining short novel, Walter Mosley reworks the ancient theme of an Angel disguised as a human on a mission. This book is also a tribute to Langston Hughes and his Jesse B. Semple stories. When Tempest Landry arrives at the pearly gates, he refuses to accept the judgement that he is a sinner. Tempest is sent back to earth and Joshua Angel follows to convince him. This leads to discussions about good vs bad, free will, fairness, circumstance, desire and more. One of my favorites is, "Is a Mistake a Sin?" Philosophical ideas and street smarts are debated in a light but thought provoking way. There are several twists to the story as the Angel experiences many 'unheavenly' emotions such as passion and jealousy. Although Joshua Angel is the narrator, the story belongs to Tempest Landry. I really enjoyed this book. It was humorous, but with very intriguing ideas. I think Mr. Hughes would approve.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Saris Bones 2-Bike Trunk Rack; Brand: Saris; Review: This rack is outstanding, used it with two Mountain Bikes on my 2007 Civic Si Sedan with no problems on multiple 400+ mile trips. One thing you must do is clean the parts of the trunk and rear bumper where the rubber feet will make contact, if you do not it will rub against the dirt and can leave a permanent mark. The manual states that it is not recommended to use over 65mph, I have personally tested this rack several times at over 80mph with no problems. Although I think 2 bikes would be the limit with this type of rack, I've seen a 3 bike model but would not recommend it for a compact car with a spoiler.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Oriental Central Hotel; City: Hanoi; Review: This hotel became our home base in North Vietnam. The location is ideal and the hotel is clean, safe and comfortable. But it's the customer service that makes this one of the best hotels we stayed in during our 6 week trip through Asia. The manager, Brian Do, and his impressive staff (Henry, Annie, and Jenny, etc.) went above and beyond. We would have stayed longer when we passed through Hanoi to Sapa and mid-VN but the hotel was fully booked. Even though they had no available rooms, Brian and his staff suggested we leave our extra bags at their hotel and invited us to hang out there for half a day while we waited for the train to Sapa and our flights to Phong Nha. They even fed us breakfast and lent us a room to take a shower and change on both days free of charge. Annie spent nearly 3 hours helping me to book a caving expedition in Phong Nha for the following morning that would accept our 12 year old son and she didn't make a commission on the trip. She simply helped me research options and make calls. Henry and/or Brian would cross the street with us every time we arrived or departed. The restaurants they suggested were incredible. The best resorts in the world should send their staffs to Brian for training because the service he and his staff provide is BETTER than anything we've ever experienced anywhere including a few of the world's top resorts. Next time we head to Hanoi we will book this hotel way in advance. There is no place we would rather stay in Hanoi. - Colleen Dapcevic; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rayavadee Resort; City: Railay Beach Krabi Town Krabi Province; Review: The attention to detail here is unlike anything we've ever seen. The two level villas are luxurious. The grounds are awe inspiring. The staff and customer service are above and beyond. Monkeys and adorable Speckled Languors are a daily site. The beaches are magical though there was some trash in the water but it didn't come from the resort. We stayed 3 days and were seriously sad to leave this little piece of heaven. We'll definitely be back. Only one aspect of this place rated less than perfect. The food. The daily breakfast brunch (included) is wonderful but the other meals we had at the resort restaurants were not worth the high price.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Daauw Home; City: Huay Xai Bokeo Province; Review: Best food in town. Fresh grilled fish and veggies. Or you eat the vegetarian community meal with the villagers that run this place. We had a great time here. Will stay here again if we find ourselves back in this town.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Le Sen Boutique Hotel; City: Luang Prabang Luang Prabang Province; Review: We ended up staying here nearly a week. It was just so lovely and comfortable we didn't want to leave. It's a 10 min walk to the night market but the hotel has shuttles on hand to take guests anywhere in town free of charge. Bicycles are available too. Excellent customer service. Great food. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely stay at Le Sen again when we return to Luang Prabang.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Palmari Boutique Hotel; City: Nuea Khlong Krabi Province; Review: This is a family run hotel with excellent customer service and exceptionally delicious home cooked food. It's very clean and comfortable. When the driver (also the owner) picked us up from the airport she asked us where we were staying in Koh Lanta and told us they were offering free transportation because it was off season so we cancelled the car we had booked. That saved us $200. The owners went above and beyond in many little ways and the beds were comfortable too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Atwater; City: Avalon Catalina Island California; Review: What the Atwater lacks in luxury it makes up for in customer service. Welcoming helpful staff. The location is ideal. It's located right in the heart of town. We enjoyed our stay here very much and will stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wikiup Bed and Breakfast; City: Julian California; Review: Linda and Lee are excellent hosts and colorful people. Staying here was a wonderful experience. Linda gave us valuable tips for our 3 sisters falls hike and made reservations at a farm to table restaurant in Julian that was exceptional. The room we stayed in has a secret garden motif and a king size bed with a feather mattress and ultra soft bedding. Breakfast was a special treat. We'll definitely be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western White House Inn; City: Bangor Maine; Review: For the room rate, we expected a more basic hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotel overall. Beds were extremely comfortable. WiFi was fast and reliable. The breakfast bar was varied and fresh. Great value!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bike and Tours Bed Breakfast; City: Lahad Datu Sabah; Review: This place is very special. The food is truly extraordinary. Tisha is an amazing chef. Every dish was fresh, healthy, unique, memorable, mouthwateringly delicious and creatively presented. The staff and family members were polite, warm, and welcoming. The room was spacious, crisp, clean, and very comfortable. The pool and backyard are like an oasis. Staying here is a treat. The customer service and attention to detail are superb. It was a highlight on our trip to Borneo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: S Nikolis Boutique Hotel; City: Rhodes Town Rhodes Dodecanese South Aegean; Review: This place is a treat and the owner, Sotiris, goes above and beyond to ensure a lovely experience at her charming B&B and on this beautiful island. This was the best hotel experience we had in the Greek Islands.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Art Nouveau Galata; City: Istanbul; Review: The location is in the heart of a lively neighborhood. It's very easy to get anywhere in Istanbul from this location. The rooms are a bit small but neat and clean. The customer service impressed me the most. My 13-year-old son wasn't up for a tour. He was tired and felt like he might be coming down with something. The hotel staff offered to bring him lunch, check in on him, and keep in touch with us and our guide via whats app. They were really amazing. We had no doubt our son would be safe and fine staying in the room while we took a tour of the city. He was very comfortable with the staff and told us they were extremely kind and thoughtful. When I return to Istanbul, I will stay here again. The accommodations are a good value for the price and the customer service is priceless.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: La Pasion Hotel Boutique by Bunik; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: I spent a week here with my son. The hotel is charming and conveniently located and just a short walk from The Collectivo (local shuttle), the beach, and 5th Street. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the air conditioning is strong, the showers are always warm, and the internet is fairly fast, especially on the roof deck. But the thing that really makes this hotel special is the truly exceptional staff. Every. Single. Staff. Member. Housekeeping, reception, and the waiters greeted us every time we walked in with relaxed and genuine smiles that brightened our days. When we asked for directions or suggestion, they cheerfully explained. On our second day, they upgraded us to a bigger room for no extra charge, and we hadn't even asked. A very talented musician played in the restaurant most mornings and evening. It was a happy place. Pretty too. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Playa Del Carmen.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: OYO 1672 Hotel The Pearl; City: Mussoorie Dehradun District Uttarakhand; Review: We stayed for 3 nights at THE PEARL. We were looking for a hotel which is easily approachable at Mall Road.The Hotel suited our budget perfectly. We took the MAP package and had an excellent break. Thanks to Mr. Negi (manager), Mr. Pradeep for taking care of all our needs. Good things: - It is situated on the Mall Road with a parking of over 20 cars so even if you reach after 4 PM (when Mall Road is closed) you can conveniently move to hotel by walk. - Beautiful property. Has a nice Valley View sitting area. - Food was excellent and homely as per your needs. - Dal Makhani excellant outstanding. Do try it once on your trip. - The bathrooms were very clean and provided a bucket and mug to bathe our toddler - We were carrying some small things for our son, which required refrigeration and the hotel allowed us to keep it in the kitchen fridge and gave us round the clock access to the fridge. Will definitely want to go back to THE PEARL for our next trip to Mussoorie Room Tip: We stayed at Room #101. It had an excellent view of the Doon Valley.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Stainless Steel Double Wall Insulated Coffee Mug / Desk Mug, 10 Oz, Metier Atelier; Brand: Mtier Atelier; Review: I spent a lot of time looking for my ideal olive oil dispenser. I'd tried glass and plastic but wanted stainless. This can is perfect, easy to fill, the lid fits securely, and the oil is protected from light. It is easy to handle and pours beautifully. Does it drip? It's all in the wrist, sometimes it does drip, but I keep it on the counter on a small plate. It looks great and is always within reach.

Title: OXO Good Grips Pick Me Up Tea Kettle, Brushed Stainless; Brand: OXO; Review: After hours and hours of comparing kettles and reading reviews on Amazon, I settled on the OXO Good Grips Pick Me Up Tea Kettle. I was disappointed the second I removed it. The handle had a lot of movement and was offset from the center. There were fine scratches on the bottom and spots where the bottom was sealed to the rest of the kettle. It didn't seem worth the price. I didn't even fill it with water to test it. I am returning it, minus $14 shipping. The search for a kettle goes on...so frustrating, because the only place to find a stove top kettle these days is online, and shipping costs add up.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Hampton Inn Madison; City: Madison Georgia; Review: I have stayed here almost a dozen times over the last year and a half. Good people, Clean rooms, and Decent rates. We have stayed here during UGA games, Master's, and to visit the family. Even when this place is very busy, they keep up the quality of the food and cleanliness of the rooms and lobby. They are getting close to finalizing their renovations and have done a great job managing all of it. They have a very personable front desk staff and a great general manager. I would highly recommend this Hotel if you are in Madison.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Martinsburg; City: Martinsburg West Virginia; Review: If you are looking for a rest stop on I-81, I would recommend this place. We got in late Friday night (about 1am) and the front desk clerk was attentive and helpful - having to go find a cart for us and pulling extra pillows. The room was clean and the shower had great water pressure. They had a nice set up for breakfast with a wide selection of foods and big bathroom with lots of space. For those of you out there that are like me, the iron and ironing board were in good working order. Only other call outs are 1) that they didn't have the fridge/microware combo in the room and 2) their fitness center is wide-open to the front of the building (floor to ceiling windows). For those that prefer a little more privacy when they work out, you won't find it here.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport; City: Houston Texas; Review: After missing a connecting flight back to Raleigh, we ended up finding this hotel at nearly 9pm. Pros: - Good food even though they were about 10 minutes to close. Consistent, good quality, and fair prices - Room was clean - Room had relatively updated decor. It didn't feel old our out of date. Cons: - Price of the room was about double what it should have been (199 vs. 109) - Front desk could have been better. Late night was very busy and wasn't answering the phone. Then didn't take the time to go through all the steps when we checked in. The early morning front desk was not knowledgeable about the hotel (area or airport) and didn't have any answers. Then there was this security guard hanging around (we are talking about 5:30am) who was very rude when "trying to help" the inexperienced front desk clerk - Shuttle driver was unpleasant. First off, he wasn't willing to wait for me and then the next round after he got back from the airport (half an hour later) he didn't want to communicate to the whole group of people waiting and was instead more focused on hanging out with the co-workers inside than leaving on time and getting everybody in the shuttle and off to the airport. Overall good hotel. We were only there for a few hours, so didn't get a great deal of time to try out all the amenities.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Salisbury; City: Salisbury North Carolina; Review: Stayed two nights last weekend for Catawba's homecoming. This is a beautifully renovated hotel. The rooms, business center, and the lobby are quite nice. We got their early on Friday and I spent a lot of time in the business center working remotely for a few hours. I was hoping to check in early but found out that the only room available - the one that I reserved was a king smoking room (I presume user error...). So we hung out in the Business Center while they used this ozone machine in the room to try and take out the smell. It helped a bit but not as much as you'd think. We bought a bunch of febreeze and air fresheners, etc. Used a lot of them but later in the evening found out that most of the issue was the smoking room next door. We couldn't do much to control that. So, in the morning we decided we would see if they had another room or we would find a different hotel. Ended up they had some no shows and we were able to move rooms and floors. The second room was not quite as nice as the first but I was just happy that it was not smoky! We moved over to the new room and had a nice rest of the stay. We didn't get a chance to actually try any of the food as we were in town to catch up with friends, but it looked nice and plentiful. The staff - Dawn, Paulette, Morgan, and the General Manager Krista were all very helpful and friendly. They even offered to pay for the febreeze and air fresheners because they felt bad that we ended up in the smoking room. I declined the offer but really appreciate that it was made. You can tell that the owners of this hotel care about this place. It looks great, rooms are rally nice, and the people are solid! I highly recommend this hotel and if you are staying the night in Salisbury, NC you should stay here!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Olean; City: Olean New York; Review: Stayed here for a funeral. Had to set up a number of rooms. They were quite accomodating and helpful as I had to call and change the reservations many times over the week and into the weekend. Kate was extremely pleasant over the phone and in person. RIck worked with us on so much during our stay - everything from a couple of things that housekeeping missed in our room, to managing all the room reservations, to following up with us on our HHonors points for the stay. Rick went above and beyond the call of duty when he actually called me back the same day after he said he would follow up with his General Manager. The service is very good at this Hampton Inn. The accomodations are relatively average. They do have a little renovation work happening and you can see it around the hotel. Overall very good! Looking forward to staying here again in 3 weeks for a wedding!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Winchester University Mall Area; City: Winchester Virginia; Review: This Hampton Inn hasn't been updated in a while and you can tell. The trade off is that it was priced quite affordably. The room was clean but the toilet and sink were very low. The room had an unusual smell that kept filling the air of the room - at least it wasn't an unpleasant smell! When we asked the front desk they didn't know where it was coming from. Down side was that the room next door was extremely loud. The folks covering the front desk were helpful and friendly. The only other thing from our particular stay is that I noticed a few different food options that most of the other Hampton Inns. They have these egg, cheese, and bacon bagels. Quite good! Overall a good stay!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Homewood Suites by Hilton Phoenix Chandler; City: Chandler Arizona; Review: I got in pretty late and was welcomed by Jackie. I caught her on the phone but she was quite helpful. It was a long trip so I asked about the food options. Dinner wasn't gonna work at the hotel, so I took the short walk over to Denny's and got some pretty good food. After that quick trip I spent a few minutes checking out the room. I happened to get far more space than I could possibly enjoy. It was a king and two queen room with two bathrooms. There were a few stains on the sofa and a hole in the comforter. The rest of the place was pretty good. Clean sheets and bathrooms. Slept quickly for the early morning start but the bed was comfortable. They had a quality iron and ironing board. Didn't get a chance to use the kitchenette but it looked clean. Overall a decent joint. A few items that needed to be looked into (see photos). I shared these with Amber and I am very confident that these items were being addressed immediately. Great impression and experience with the staff. I grabbed a bagel but if I had more time, I think I would have enjoyed breakfast. Caught a cab and was off to the next destination.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Madison; City: Madison Georgia; Review: Stayed about two weeks back on the way to Perry, GA. There is a new General Manager but the same great staff. The cleanliness of the rooms needs some work. From my perspective it's still the tops in Madison. The hotel will finally be updating the lobby in the coming months. I am looking forward to the changes. After many trips to Madison, GA over the last few years I think we still got a Good choice in the Hampton Inn Madison.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Warner Robins; City: Warner Robins Georgia; Review: This is a great hotel with an even better staff. Immaculate hotel with clean rooms, great restaurant, and solid management. There were a couple of specific examples that really helped drive this home for me. For me, it's some of the little things that speak volumes. Specific example - When my wife and I were coming back from shopping we were passing one of the housekeepers who was vaccuuming. As we were drawing closer she turned off the vaccuum and waited to turn it back on until we were beyond earshot. That's impressive! That's the kind of attention to the customer that you tend to only see that the expensive resorts. The other example was when we were leaving and we had a communication breakdown with the maintenance man as we were checking out (which was getting frustrating on both sides I assure you). He was trying to powerwash the front and we were trying to pack our vehicle and roll the wheelchair out the front door but the hose was blocking that from happening. Even though there was a communication breakdown the Head of housekeeping quickly took action to get the cart moved pulling in one of the other maintenance guys to translate. We later got a call from the Hotel Manager apologizing for the incident - certainly going above and beyond the call of duty from my perspective. They quickly understood that this was an unacceptable incident and addressed the issue. I couldn't be more pleased with how well trained and attentive to the needs of the customer the staff was here. We had an excellent time at the American Grill. The Quesadillas are huge! The peach ice cream is awesome - definitely get a scoop if you can! Also love the breakfasts at Hilton Garden Inns. Had a great waiter and enjoyed the company of the front desk attendant. It's a gem in Warner Robbins, GA. We will definitely be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek; City: Orlando Florida; Review: The first time I stayed here was in January 2012. The rooms were dirty - causing my wife and I great concerns as this location hadn't been open long. We had the opportunity to get back to Orlando and decided to give it another go. The cleanliness seems to have been addressed but the room was very dusty. Not sure what that's all about. In my mind there are two big downsides to the resort 1. Parking - In Orlando you aren't generally stuck with the parking fees like you are in many other larger cities. It's $15 to self-park and $21 to valet. That always kills me. That with taxes puts you back a good $40 bucks a day - and that's just to grace them with your prescense. A big turn off for me. 2. Identity crisis. Sometimes it's a hotel and sometimes it's a resort. Although I call it a resort and they call themselves a resort there is actually a distinction made between the main tower - a hotel - and the surrounding towers - the resort. Based on my two stays, I have actually only stayed in the hotel both times. It's very confusing especially when you are trying to figure out the amenities for your stay. This confusion carries over somewhat for us, as we sat through a timeshare presentation and what the employees seem to take for granted (as a clearly understood distincton) is what comes across as a big downside for my wife and I. Our poor timeshare experience does not take away from the beauty of the property and it's solid location. There is a great walking path around the lake with a couple of swings and ducks that want to get a closer look (and expect to be fed for it). The little bar they have on the lake is a great place to grab some lunch and the firepits around the pool are a nice add! Only service issue we had was waiting for extra pillows - had to call 3 times to get it up and talk to one of the Engineering guys in the hallway before they actually made it up. Over 3 days and that's the only issue - not that bad. Overall good property, solid service, and enjoyable scenery. It's worth a try if you are in Orlando.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn; City: Clarksburg West Virginia; Review: Convenient location along the highway with plenty of shopping options for the necessities. With the Wal-Mart right behind the hotel and a number of restaurants and stores surrounding the hotel you are in a pretty good spot to stop for the night. Tried the dinner and breakfast. The dinner service was quite lacking while the breakfast was stupendous. The dinner food was a flop with poorly made broccoli cheese soup, chewy pasta, and burnt and bland roast beef sandwich. The breakfast on the other hand was great. The server was attentive and the cook's effort on the potatoes, pancakes, and omelet was thorough, accurate, and appreciated. The room was nice and clean but the hotel seems to be having some issues with infrastructure. The tvs (in room and downstairs) went down and our phone didn't work the night we stayed but at least the power and internet. The storm definitely seemed to cause some issues for them but this seemed like a common occurrence. Overall I would recommend this hotel. It is a strong example of a Hilton Garden Inn.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Arlington; City: Arlington Virginia; Review: Our visit begins with the lackluster check in, the confusing parking deck, and the odd room setup. The check in was average at best - with the attendants more focused on their cell phones and their computers than walking us through the property, amentities, and policies of the hotel. The parking is complicated and we had to ask the parking attendant where to park since we didn't get any help from the front desk. And that leaves the room - It needs some attention. I understand that you can't necessarily improve the architectural oddities of older buildings but the maintenance/engineering team needs to get on the ball with this room. I think the pictures help tell that story. Our next step was checking out the food trucks - which is a great amenity (if it was advertised as an asset to the property). We then headed to the executive lounge for some drinks and snacks. Boy, that is hard to find... We were lucky enough to have a server go out of her way to ask us if we needed some directional guidance and it was greatly appreciated. The set up is nice but you have to walk through the bar, then the restaurant to get there. We ordered dinner in and the food was solid. Breakfast was good too! I got some help from the bar keep to open up a couple of bottles of wine and they were great to interact with. Enjoyed the conversations we had with the different members of housekeeping and other members of staff. Overall I would say that the first impression at this hotel sets a poor tone for the traveler which is then very difficult to improve. The room problems and poor front desk were at least improved by some good people and service we received from other departments. The real icing on the cake for our visit was that we shared our experience with one of the front desk managers and it was pretty clear that they weren't trained on how to interact patrons that had less than a satisfactory experience.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Fairmont Olympic Seattle; City: Seattle Washington; Review: I tend to prefer a bit more modern rooms and hotels. The lobby was great and the service was solid. They have the old school doormen who help get your where you need to be and can always be relied on to carry on an interesting conversation. Great location and worthy of a walk in just about any direction. The décor is dated and the rooms need some work. Not enough accessible switches and outlets. Bathroom is updated but definitely aged furniture. The sofas are nice and clean but more my grandparents' style. Although I will likely pick a different hotel next time I am in the area, it is still a nice facility and worthy of your selection if you can get beyond with the aged rooms.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Embassy Suites Newark Wilmington South; City: Newark Delaware; Review: I've stayed here at least 3 other times when I have been in the Newark and Bear area. We've had a few cleanliness issues in the past but nothing major. You can't beat the breakfast and manager reception. Makes the price point all worthwhile. The arrangement with TGIFridays is a great option to mix it up with the standard hotel fare. As a Diamond member I think they need to work on their delivery of the benefits a bit but nothing to dissuade a visit. They certainly do a good job of staying busy as it seems that every time I visit they are packed. Great option for family reunions, receptions, or just a weekend away. Critical points: Elevator is slow and the parking lot is always full - so expect a walk to the lobby/room. It gets loud since all the rooms are facing the atrium, so recommend splurging a bit on the corner rooms. They are a good noise buffer. The only other thing is that the wifi gets iffy if you are in the Homewood Suites side of the building. The sister hotel has a really strong router so sometimes your devices get caught in a wifi searching loop. It wasn't as bad this last visit but it is a known problem. Ultimately, I recommend this hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Suites Port Richey; City: Port Richey Florida; Review: Quick trip and didn't get the chance to really investigate all the facilities. The room was not as clean as it should be but the décor was fresh and the furniture was new. The pool looked nice from the 4th floor :) The lobby was spacious but needed a bit better air flow/circulation. The breakfast attendant was very good and the food was solid. The 4th floor has a foul smell. We were told it was the city water pipes. Seems like it was the same thing a few years ago. Housekeeping was pleasant but we didn't have as much positive interaction with the front desk. Really just lacking warmth/hospitality and general knowledge - not understanding Diamond benefits as an example. Asking for delayed check out seemed like an inconvenience.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Commerce; City: Commerce Georgia; Review: Accommodations were pretty good. Room was clean. We got the whirlpool room and I think it didn't really work as both a tub and shower. The shower curtain ends up dripping the water everywhere. And the seal/insert for the tub was cracked. It really needed to be re-caulked and cleaned more thoroughly. The breakfast was not a good experience. They served those bagels with egg, cheese, and bacon and it was soggy in the middle and hard on the outside. And they were out of apple juice and the OJ was watered down. Additionally, why are the smoking rooms all scattered around the non-smoking rooms? How does that make sense? Laslty, I think it was a very bad idea to put the rolling chair on the tile floor for the computer by the front desk. Usability is a problem...; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Thomson; City: Thomson Georgia; Review: Got in real late and grabbed the last room at the Inn. Seemed like a great, clean facility with a friendly staff. Didn't get an opportunity to really check out everything that was available but it all seemed really nice. Our room needed a bit of extra work however. The bathroom really wasn't up to par. There was mildew in the grout lines and pink stains along the corners and even in the shower head. I suspect most of the other rooms are better. I have been in enough hotels to get a good vipe about a place and I think we might have hit them on a bad day.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Milledgeville; City: Milledgeville Georgia; Review: So we stayed here when the water main broke (3rd time this summer). While that is not the fault of the hotel, is it is something they chose not to disclose until after we checked in, paid for the night, and started to settled in and unpack. That, in of itself, left a sour note for us on the type of people working at this hotel. Not a good first impression. When you can't shower, wash your hands, brush your teeth, etc with running water you certainly don't get a full experience of the room. The rooms are very nice and modern. Someone did a great job on their last renovation. The lobby and the breakfast space is outstanding. The main problem is where this hotel sits. The location is a bit sketchy sitting in the parking lot of a strip mall and is hard to find on your first visit. It was nice to see that they filled in a major hole in the road in front of the hotel the day we were there. Bottomline, I don't think we would stay here again but it is a nice little place.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Orlando; City: Orlando Florida; Review: Good check-in experience. My impression of the rooms were that they were smaller than expected. At least the room was clean and they did have a very nice sitting chair and a desk. Odd set up in trying to access the the executive lounge. We had to take an elevator down and then take another back up to the 19th floor. Problem was that no one told us that at check-in, so we were a bit lost on our own. David's Bar and Grill was quite enjoyable. Highly recommend the burger and trying a few cocktails. Good atmosphere and options to hang out. Although it is still a bit of a hike to the convention center it is in a great location. My biggest challenge with the hotel was a room service disappointment (missing items, small portions, and over priced) and breakfast at Spencers when they closed the executive lounge for the weekend. The issue there was the chaos and poor service in addition to no flexibility or thought given to allowing people to just grab something and escape the unpleasant experience downstairs. I felt like we started off well but then saw numerous times where service could have been better in so many places - like the bell stand where we waited 40 minutes for a cart and the valet stand that ignored me in packing my car back up although I spent $75 on parking with them. Lots of little things. Even with all of this, I would like to return and get in the right tower to get better use of the executive loung and then actually check out the pool and the lazy river which we didn't have the opportunity to take advantage of because of the convention.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
