Title: Adolescence; Author: Visit Amazon's John W. Santrock Page; Review: I received this and the front of the book was bent and in bad shape. Since it was listed in "good" I just took it and went with it. However, when I tried to resell it back to Amazon they would not take it. Very disappointed! I would proceed with caution when the book is listed in "good" condition with this seller.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Dr. Seuss's ABC An Amazing Alphabet Book! (Bright and Early Board Books Super-Sized Edition); Author: Visit Amazon's Dr. Seuss Page; Review: I received this book for my neighbor's first birthday. She loved it so much so stopped opening other gifts to play and read the book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Teaching the Book of Mormon, Part 1 (1 Nephi - Alma 16); Author: John S. Bushman; Review: This book is amazing! As an early morning seminary teacher I am finding this book priceless and can't wait for part 2. My husband, who is a convert, looked through it also. His comment: "Every investigator and/or convert should be given this book to help them understand the Book of Mormon better."; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Killer Athletes: America's Special Operations Warriors Share Lessons & Advice To Help Young Athletes Become Champions!; Author: Cole Tucker; Review: The book is awesome and I feel like all athletes, coaches, and parents would benefit from reading it. The book covers so many important aspects of athletics and I really like how it ties into the special forces. I have five kids and they are all athletes. My oldest son is an All American wrestler who wrestled for Iowa and is now a college coach where my second son is on the team. All of my kids are involved in the special op's question/sports that are talked about in this book: wrestling, football, and track. The book explains that these are thinking sports. I wish my oldest three kids had read this book even though they have been very successful. I have a son that is a sophomore and one in 8th grade. I think Jr. High is the perfect age for this book and it will be a project between my boys and I this summer. I have told my kids' wrestling coaches about this book and work in a Jr. High. I will refer some of our athletes and many parents to read this book. This book will not only help your kids succeed athletically but also in the game of life. Thank you Mr. Tucker for giving me the opportunity to read your book. Oh and when you read it, have a highlighter ready because there is so much great information you'll want to highlight!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Special Operations Mental Toughness: The Invincible Mindset of Delta Force Operators, Navy SEALs, Army Rangers & Other Elite Warriors!; Author: Visit Amazon's Lawrence Colebrooke Page; Review: I am really glad I read this book. I have two teenagers at home who will be reading it next. If you want to succeed in life, develop mental toughness. Everything laid out in this book will help people succeed in their career, studies, or athletics. The concepts that our special operators have are excellent and will help you succeed. Read this book. Share it with young people. Appreciate our military and learn how to develop mental toughness to succeed in this crazy world we live in!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Navy SEAL Mental Toughness: A Guide To Developing An Unbeatable Mind; Author: Visit Amazon's Chris Lambertsen Page; Review: Mental toughness is so important in all aspects of life. In everyday life we might not need or use it as often as navy seals but it is a great thing to develop. Young people could really use more mental toughness. This book lays things out really well and let's us know the steps that Navy Seals go through to develop mental toughness. Mental toughness will help you succeed in your goals whether those goals are military, athletics, college, or career. I have a friend who is trying to decide between Marines and Navy Seals and I can't wait to share this book with him! Read this book if you have goals in your life, you won't be disappointed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Hattie B’s Hot Chicken - Nashville; City: Nashville, TN; Review: In my opinion, the best hot chicken place in town. Food was delicious and there are enough choices to satisfy everyone. The wait is a bit ridiculous, but if you know this going in it is not that big of a deal. Will definitely be back again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Biscuit Love: Gulch; City: Nashville, TN; Review: Heard about this place from friends and tried it out. I thought it was just okay.

Title: The Pharmacy; City: Nashville, TN; Review: Great food and great fun. I'm a fan. The wait can be a bit long but sitting in the beer garden with some good friends and good food makes up for it. If you haven't been, you should definitely check it out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Southern Steak & Oyster; City: Nashville, TN; Review: This place came highly recommended but just did't deliver the goods. I thought the food was okay but overpriced and the atmosphere was loud, loud, loud. I'm willing to give them another go but was a little disappointed with my first experience. Had higher expectations.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Pinewood Social; City: Nashville, TN; Review: This place is cool, fun, and has surprisingly good food. Love this hangout place. Plenty of space to move around and plenty of things to do (bocce ball, bowling, karaoke, etc....). Really enjoyed our time here and highly recommend Pinewood Social if you are looking for a place to hangout with some friends. Well done.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Monell's Dining & Catering; City: Nashville, TN; Review: Boom! If you want to be stuffed after a meal, this is your spot. Just some down home country fixin's at their best. I love eating family style and meeting the random people at your table. The food literally just kept coming as it is all you can possibly eat. I'll be back again, and again, and again......; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Farm House; City: Nashville, TN; Review: Fantastic! Wonderful farm to table food in a great little spot. The entire experience was great. Please go check this place out. Will be adding this place to my short list of favorite restaurants.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maryland Farms Family Dentistry; City: Brentwood, TN; Review: Dr. Burton is the best dentist I have ever been to see. The entire facility is state of the art and spotless.

Highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cal's Country Kitchen; City: Madison, TN; Review: The BEST soul food meat and three that nobody knows about! Fantastic comfort food and super nice people running the show. This place is definitely worth the trip and I would give it 6 stars if I could.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Monkey Joe's; City: Madison, TN; Review: This place is awesome for the little ones to get their wiggles out. They have 8 inflatables (with 2 dedicated for 3 years old and under) in a huge open space, some redemption type games, a concession stand, free wifi, TVs, private party rooms, and massage chairs. I love that they give everyone a matching wristband and check them when you leave (makes me feel secure) and they had enough food selection to make all my folks happy. I also love that there is no time limit on my jumping. Even if a party is going on, they accept walk-ins at anytime and the place is definitely big enough to accommodate the crowd. If you have children under 12, this place needs to be on your short list of "things to entertain the kiddos". Great place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Escape Game Nashville; City: Nashville, TN; Review: We had a blast!!! This is such a clever business and so much fun to do with a group of friends. These games will challenge you and require a lot of teamwork in order to escape. I plan on going again to check out some of the other rooms. A "must-do" if you haven't given it a try.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Uncle Classic Barbershop; City: Nashville, TN; Review: I really enjoy the laid back atmosphere of this place. I also like the membership option where I can get my hair cut as many times as I want (I can also just pop in for a neck clean up). I have never had a bad experience at Uncle and will continue to go. Definitely recommend it if you are looking for a new place to get your hair trimmed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: San Antonio Taco Co; City: Nashville, TN; Review: Love this place!! I have been hitting this place up before Vandy basketball games for years. The queso is the best in town and will make you an addict straight away. Also, try the wings....I know....wings at a taco place?....trust me. They are delicious. I'm hooked and I can't stop eating. Thank you SATCO!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ninki; City: Nashville, TN; Review: Love me some Ninki. It is great for lunch or dinner. They have a huge selection of items to choose from and the servers are so nice. I love the hibachi items the best, but my wife likes the sushi as well. We enjoy their take out service too and it is always super fast. Give it a try if you haven't.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

I liked the fact that the scroll of the initial was more unique than most. It is a great quality item and looks more expensive than it is (ie: great price!).

I'm very pleased with this item and would buy from this seller again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ryka Women's Tensile Leather Athletic Sandal; Brand: Ryka; Review: I love the Ryka brand and this particular item was fantastic. I've received many compliments on them.

I have hand washed them twice and they maintained their quality.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Modogirl Long deep Black cords Sweater Vintage Flower Pendant Necklace for Women and Girls; Brand: Modogirl; Review: This has absolutely become one of my favorite necklaces!

Wow was I surprised! It's just as it's shown in the picture and is well made.

It really stands out but is tasteful.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Master Cleanser: With Special Needs and Problems; Author: Visit Amazon's Stanley Burroughs Page; Review: I attempted a 10 day cleanse using this and found that I did not have the means(unable to carry around enough distilled water when on a 4-day trip), time (no time between flights to on most days to mix it up) nor opportunity to mix the ingredients together six times a day. I'm a flight attendant and this is not to be attempted if you're on the go. Attempt only if you are going to be home and near a refrigerator (keeps the fresh lemon juice from spoiling).

I've had it for a few days now and use it twice a day for my 3 yr old and 1 year old which totals 60 lbs and is very easy to pull . Happy I decided on this model, the sun shade is a must in Texas. So much storage not just in the storage bag but behind the seat at the rear there's lots of room for storage there. Turns great , goes up and now curbs great.. If I had to say one negative it would be I wish both kids could sit and have the middle table out. That's the only thing this wagon is missing.

Title: Ali MacGraw - Yoga Mind & Body VHS; Brand: Ali MacGraw; Review: When I first saw the cover of this video, I was skeptical to buy it because I was leary of purchasing a "celebrity" exercise video. What a pleasant suprise. I love practicing yoga with this video. Ali McGraw really knows her yoga. She looks great and she's such an inspiration to women who want to stay fit. The poses were very realxing and invigorating. I'm never bored and I love the music. It's so in tune with the workout. The scenery is absoblutely gorgeous.

Title: Bryan Kest - Power Yoga VHS; Brand: Bryan Kest; Review: What can I say. Blend a handsome yoga guru, challenging poses, beautiful people and what do you have, a winning combination. I have never worked so hard at yoga in my life, until I practiced with this set of tapes. Bryan is an excellent teacher who really knows his stuff. At first, when I was reviewing the tapes I was a bit ovewhelmed about doing the poses. To my suprise, I'm more flexible than I thought I would be. With his motivational techniques and encouraging wisdom, Bryan really brings out the best in one's yoga performance. What's so fun about this set of tapes is that you'll always be challenged and you'll see results almost immediately. I would recommend for any serious yoga buff to buy this set.

Title: Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss VHS; Brand: Suzanne Deason; Review: In my opinion, this is one of the best yoga videos on the market.

The poses are shown at various levels without a lot of intimidating chatter. When practicing to this video you really feel the effects of the yoga poses. You're in touch with your breath, spirit and mind. This is a great video for all levels of yoga buffs. I highly recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

The poses were very realxing and invigorating. I'm never bored and I love the music. It's so in tune with the workout. The scenery is absoblutely gorgeous. I never thought the desert could be so beautiful. I hope she makes another video soon. I'll be the first to buy it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Firm - Cross Trainers: Super Cardio VHS; Brand: ; Review: I agree with some of the other reviews. This is definitely one of the best Firm videos ever produced. The instructors are superb. The set is beautiful and the routines are very challenging. The instructors have an innovative technique of combining plyos, running and squats. You'll need two sets of weights, 3-5 lbs, a ball and a short step. I use a 9.25" rubbermaid step stool. My favorite segments are the ones in which you use the weighted ball. This really gets the ole heart pumpin and they're so much fun. I also like the time length. It's an hour long so you'll get a great workout. The video ends with a challenging but short stability balance, bow pose and stretch. Although recommended for advanced exercisers, I would strongly encourage beginners to give it a chance. You'll be pleased with the results. Just stay focused and start off carefully and slowly.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Crieff Hydro Hotel and Resort; City: Crieff Perth and Kinross Scotland; Review: We stayed mon-fri in a chalet with our 2 years old. We love the hydro, from the cosy chalet, to the excellent kids club. Loads for the wee one to do and time off for us when she is in the club. We will definitely return. Few gripes: No housekeeping in the 4 days and no new towels We were advised the quad pods were suitable for our 2 year old, but they are definitely not. The quad took off with a bit of speed and all we could hear was our daughter screaming and the instructor just carried on instead of bringing her back. When they disappeared out of site this made us anxious and she was screaming when she returned. I would say they are for age 4 plus. Brasserie is over prices, obviously because those on dbb have a £21.50 allowance so if the prices were lower they would have too much food to order but I feel this is unfair to those paying.. £12 for fish and chips? Coffee is very poor Overall we had a great time and staff are a credit; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Murraypark Hotel; City: Crieff Perth and Kinross Scotland; Review: We have stayed in the Hydro around 9 times and thought we would try this one for a change, It is lovely and cosy and our family room on the top floor was great. Breakfast was ok the first morning and very good the 2nd so I guess it depends of the chef. The staff are all excellent and we would definitely stay again. A good solid 3 star! (the hydro literature tells you to let them know if you are celebrating something special so we put on our booking that we were staying on our 10th wedding anniversary but we didn't receive any little extras unfortunately) This is a good solid 3 star hotel and so handy for the hydro facilities.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crieff Hydro Hotel and Resort; City: Crieff Perth and Kinross Scotland; Review: We have stayed here over 10 times and live so many things about it. The staff are friendly, especially the lady on kids club reception (glasses) who has worked there a long time and is so friendly and helpful. My daughter loves all the facilities and the rooms are nice. My one consistent gripe is the breakfast and it's been like this since we started staying. Last weekend it was almost inedible with brick card potato scones and dried up scrambled egg. My husband said the sausages were the cheapest he had tasted as was the rest of the selection. Poor choice of cereals, no porridge and all in all really poor quality. When you are charging nearly £200 a night this is unacceptable and you really need to source more quality ingredients.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

This made no sense I paid for it!!! Why would they sell it!!!!!??? Peggi the manager was very rude!! When we got to the back door she just said not my problem that your parents drove into help you, it gone. She then told me to go to the return desk to fill out return form to get money back. They totally screwed up! Sold something that was already sold and did nothing to say sorry or make it right! They wasted our time, my dads gas bringing truck for no reason and were completely rude!! I will never even consider going there again. Absolutely no customer service! The "manager" was the rudest person I ever met!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Bliss YogaSpa; City: Edmonton, AB; Review: I have been going to bliss since its preopening. It's a beautiful clean studio. Lots of attention to detail, everything you need to shower after class or service. Cold lemon grass towel for eyes after class is so perfect. They give you a comfortable amount of room to practice. Unlike a lot of hot studios where they put as many people as possible in and then end up touching sweaty strangers. The light up paintings on the wall are beautiful and very zen. The services at the spa are great as well but $$$$ so as much as I would like to go every week that has to be stretched out. Wish the ladies change-room/shower area was bigger, after a full class it's very tight in there and unless you run there is usually a line for a shower. Lots of very fun loving staff! Laura is my favorite, so happy and caring. Bavnah is my favorite yoga teacher, and if you want a great massage Josefina is wonderful; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Jocelyn was great! When it wasn't quite exactly what I wanted in the beginning to make sure to do everything she needed to make sure he was as at platinum as we could get it!

Title: Characters Restaurant; City: Edmonton, AB; Review: Well this was my 3rd and final time at this out dated disorganized overpriced unfriendly establishment! Was excited for date night. My husband and I got a sitter and headed for to what we thought was going to be a fun tasty experience. We got tickets to a pork-roast event after seeing a flyer in line. We had to pay in advance and to be honest seeing how no confirmation tickets or any details of what the 50 each covered was ever sent we were going in a bit confused. I don't eat pork but figured there would be buffet style or another option. If not I would just eat a lot of salad. When we arrived I asked the hostest if there is another option maybe some fish. She said you already prepaid for pork so you will get pork. I was a bit surprised she couldn't arrange something else but I did buy the tickets and I guess should have asked for more details when I did. She then let us know to start drinking I went to the bar where I was just going to get a drink. They had a very old cocktail menu with all of 4 cocktails on it so I asked for a few different drinks a bar tender should know and was told just what's in the menu. I walk away to decide. A server comes to where I am visiting some people and I place a drink order. 15 minutes go by the people I am visiting now getting another drink when the girl comes back and says I can't bring you a drink till you give me a credit card. I don't like giving my credit card so planned on just paying but she said you have to go to the bar for that. I had already been yo the bar and wanted a drink so gave credit card and then a while later got a drink.It was for sure not the grey goose martini that I ordered but I tipped her back. We are told now to Move so they can bring more chairs in. Then a few minutes later instructed to squeeze in all at one long table. Not what I was expecting but went with it. Salad arrives and it is so drenched in dressing that it was also soup. I ate a few bites then gave to my husband. I was trying to move my chair but was stuck cause of a light pole behind me. When I noticed a few girls having fish. I waved a girl over and said can I please have that fish? She said that was a special request. I told her I don't eat pork and thought I could make a request when we arrived but was told no. She said I will get my manager. I was super polite and said ok. A few minutes later a woman came over and was very rude to me! She said you don't eat pork then why are you at a pork roast. I; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 Unlocked Cellphone; Brand: Alcatel; Review: I've had this phone for about 2 months and really have had no problems with it. I admit that I am a fairly light user, and mainly use it as a phone. I can go at least 4-5 days between charges, honestly up to a week....Reception is better than my previous phones (Samsung & Sony phones) and wifi strength is comparable. There had been some camera issues (the main one for me being battery drain) but that's been improved. The "tap to turn on" feature works reliably now, the screen is beautiful, and it's fast with web and google play store browsing. The button locations may be a problem for some, but I find I use it upside down just as much as right side up. Since always use my phone left handed because I am doing something else (like writing or unlocking a door) with my dominant hand, it's nice to have those buttons where they are.... My hands are pretty small but dexterous so a little "shimmy" is not a problem given my case. I have only dropped it once-- it has no chips or scratches. Could not be more pleased at this point, but I don't think that my use is typical. However it TOTALLY works for me... NOW (good updates).; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: USB Fast Charger RAVPower 30W Quick Charge 3.0 Wall Charger Dual USB Plug, Compatible Galaxy S8 S7, Note 8,; Brand: RAVPower; Review: Both ports work well. Doesn't seem to get super hot very easily. Must have the proper cord for fast charging--Rankie brand seems to be quite good. July 2017, Just an update, this is still working well for me. I use it every 2-3 days One year later still works well. For fast charging my Galaxy Note 5 (shaddup haters, it's AWESOME) ANY short cord will do. I've used Anker and Rankie Brands. The Anker cord I have is not marketed as a fast charging cord but, when I plugged my phone into the top port, it said "fast charging". 37% to full in an hour (66 minutes but who's counting...?). Does what it's supposed to and still holding up--$$ well spent!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Galaxy Note 5 Case, POETIC Affinity Series; Brand: Poetic; Review: quite protective, the clear is clear on the back and frosted on the sides. I've had 2-3 falls ~3 ft to tile floor and cement. No problems there.

Title: La Siesta Hotel; City: Playa de las Americas Arona Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: I have stayed at La Siesta twice now and I have had no issues with it. It is the perfect location with beaches on either side. I thoroughly recommend the Coco Beach cocktail bar|! Walking right out of the hotel leads to the clubs and nice beaches. To the left, it is quieter with lots of nice bars and restaurants. The food at the hotel is just a buffet and yes, it does get a bit samey but I just love the randomness of it all- I mean how often can I have chocolate sauce and bacon! Don't bother getting a pool side room at the moment as there are pool works going on in the evening. We had a room at the front and although it faced a sex shop, it was a good quality room and was very quiet. The maids do a fab job, the reception staff are friendly and the bar and restaurant staff are lovely. The evening entertainment is a bit naff but ok with a drink or two in you! Lovely clean swimming pool as well. The only issue with this hotel is that the interior a bit dated compared to other H10 hotels in the area. I remember visiting this hotel 14 years ago and it still looks exactly the same! However, I quite like this. It's like being in a time warp!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Hard Rock Hotel Cancun; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Positives: The staff- Incredible. Only the nicest people seem to have been hired. So helpful and friendly. Special mention to Conchi, the pool waitress. Her English impression is brilliant. Jovana also brilliant. David (black t shirt) so sweet and helpful. Oso, Merly, Zuri, Jonny Boy were all lovely. Pool entertainment- The best I've seen in the world. Big papa, David and their team, fantastic, and wow can they dance! Infinity pools- Lovely, beautiful views and swim up bar. Food- Amazing- outside by the pool and in all the restaurants. Great quality. Very clean hotel. The workers in the white wellies work incredibly hard- great job. Nice to see the faces of the management and owner i.e Leo Diaz and Roberto. Saxophonist and band round the pool were brilliant. Ocean rooms are so worth the money. Spectacular. Negatives: The evening shows were AWFUL with three exceptions: The Brazilian show, Rock show and Break Dancing show- they should all be of this standard. Think big, think Vegas, think Hard Rock acts!!! It isn't 1999 any more. Animals being used for photos is not acceptable in 2015. If people want to see animals, go on an excursion! No air conditioning in the hallway. Preferential treatment given to some people i.e time share people. Seats should not be reserved round the pool when they don't use them all day. Sometimes we had to ask for the room to be cleaned. The cleaners were always very friendly though. We were given the wrong rooms at check in.

Title: Gammon Percussion Full Size Complete Adult 5 Piece Drum Set with Cymbals Stands Stool and Sticks, Black; Brand: Gammon Percussion; Review: I purchased this set of drums with the intent on getting an entry-level full size set of drums for my son, who is turning 12. After looking at prices and comparing what was included in the purchase price, this seemed like the best choice. It was a little intimidating when the set came completely unassembled in 3 boxes, but ended up being a lot easier than I thought. Now, I've never owned drums before, but I am a small time musician/producer and I was incredibly pleased with the drum set once I got it all together, fiddled with the tuning of it, and got to tap on it for a while. Really fun and doesn't seem obviously cheap. I could upgrade the cymbals and drum heads later if I want to, which is really cool if he (or I) want to keep on going with it, and I think at least I will! A good product for a good price!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I have other speakers and a subwoofer to listen to at full volume, but I felt I was missing something when I was mixing. Using these as near field monitors, I instantly heard a big difference. These give me the clear midrange, clear highs and punchy bass I needed to get better mix. You might want to combine with a subwoofer if these are your only set of speakers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Vigan Plaza Hotel; City: Vigan Ilocos Sur Province Ilocos Region Luzon; Review: Actually, I've been booked in this hotel 4 times but I'll be sharing with you my latest experience last Feb. 2012. We went there for an overnight stay and as always, it's been consistent. They have always retained that other-worldly appeal. It may depend on personal taste but I find their old-time Ilocano-Spanish-era ambiance fascinating with the antique-finish furniture. Bathroom is basic, no tub (maybe because we're booked in a not so expensive room), working hot shower, no problem with the toilet, basic toiletries but not a big deal for me who's a fan of toiletries because the hotel's overall room ambiance can make-up for it. And also the service, I remember in one of my bookings in this hotel when I suddenly felt dizzy, maybe because of the long trip. One of the waiters gave us sweet ripe mangoes to ease that dizzy feeling. I thank them for that. Food is authentic Ilocano recipe but they also serve continental dishes just in case some guests may not find our native delicacies appealing to their taste. We also bought Vigan longganiza from their Cafe Bigaa restaurant so I never have to look for other sources of this delicious longganiza (sausage) anywhere else. Great location too because you only have to walk your way to Calle Crisologo--the famous Vigan Heritage Walk.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Condotel Asuncion; City: Vigan Ilocos Sur Province Ilocos Region Luzon; Review: My impression was so-so when I first heard of the condotel's name since I got used to Vigan Plaza Hotel's amenities but that would seem unfair because this is a condotel, not a hotel. The room was 303 and I felt that wow factor emanating in the room. I never expected it to give off that comfy feeling. Nice bed, that mini kitchen, that TV, I didn't mind about breakfast that was not included since this condotel has no in-house restaurant. I can go out and look for some place to eat around Burgos Plaza and it is just a walking distance from Calle Crisologo (Heritage Walk). Everything's functioning well. All basic amenities are present except slippers, toothbrush and toothpaste. No swimming pool, remember it's just a condotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Villa Escudero Resort; City: San Pablo City Laguna Province Calabarzon Region Luzon; Review: We came here for the first time last Feb. 16, 2013 and paid Php 1,450 per head. I guess going there on a weekend is a good choice because they have this cultural show held at around 2PM in the covered area/ bar. What I meant of their bar was they serve hotdogs, club house sandwiches, cold beverages (juices, shakes, ice-blended coffee, etc.), appetizers, ice cream, etc. The covered area looks like a Filipino-inspired auditorium. What I admired about this place was their use of solar and hydroelectric power. This place is a break from the city's hustle and bustle and you get to see a lot of trees, foliage....nature. While eating and having your feet soaked in water, you see fish swimming, kinda cute experience and the food (Caldereta, Ginataang Kalabas and Sitaw, Misua Soup, Inihaw a liempo, Ensalada with yummy bagoong) I find it yummy. Maybe it's just a matter of taste because some of the reviews gave bad feedback about it. I thought I'd be seeing more of the provincial life because of the carabao cart ride, only to find out that the carabao cart is the transportation from the reception to the resort area (bamboo rafting, lunch by the falls, cultural show). Kinda sad about the museum because it seems the displays where no longer taken cared for. I'd love to eat more of that Misua soup!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tartaruga s Hotel and Pagudpud Yacht Club Restaurant; City: Pagudpud Ilocos Norte Province Il; Review: Stayed for a night recently on May 2-3, 2013. There's no yacht but I guarantee you, this place screams of cleanliness! God, why is this place so clean? Everything's clean: The bathroom, kitchen, reception, dining, parking area and you won't smell any seeping sewage smell which I have noticed in surrounding home stays . They also have a warning sign that the bathroom tap water is not safe for drinking, thoughtful enough which I haven't seen in other hotels I have stayed in. Kudos to the staff for the excellent maintenance even if he owner is not around. They also have good customer service and Jeremiah of the front desk gave us a tip that the Northbound tour has more sights to see and also mentioned that the public area of the Saud Beach is better than the rocky private beach front of Saud Beach Resort. He was right, we enjoyed Saud Beach's public area. Food was reasonably priced and prepared in the honest to goodness way. No shmansy-fancy preparation or regional fusion food commonly served in other restaurants. We no longer looked for other places to eat because we don't want to risk going to another restaurant and end up being disappointed. Besides, why would we go anywhere else if food already tasted good at Tartaruga's?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: West Peninsula Villas; City: Caramoan Camarines Sur Province Bicol Region Luzon; Review: One word: Organized. Leave your worries behind and enjoy the sun (though personally, I was a worrier because I want to make sure everything is in order). Well coordinated from Naga pick-up to the resort proper. Our tour guide, Roel, immediately introduced himself and told us of the time to meet after lunch. We were late but it doesn't matter because we had too much time in our hands on day 1 of the island hopping tour. Hats-off to our sociable tour guide, Roel. He did more than guide us, he also assisted us in carrying our things and entertained us with stories, some of it about his personal life which gave us a background of who he is: A family man. Due to his very good service, we gave him a tip. Our rooms for the 1st day (Rooms 10 and 11, tour package for 5 persons) had simple funishings, seems these were repainted but for me, it doesn't matter. We were there for the island hopping experience. I find that the bathroom's yellow lighting is kinda dark. Our rooms for the 2nd day (Unit B and D) was way better. These were newly-built units and the bathroom, better but I hope the management would add rugs for the bathroom for our wet feet to wipe on. Food's average, home-cooked viands with plain rice. We enjoyed our last night at their Lake Bar. If you're after a 5-peso per song videoke bar with Bamboo furniture in a Nipa-designed bar, this place is for you. Never mind about the fitness center, you're in Caramoan for the tour.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Microtel by Wyndham Acropolis; City: Quezon City Metro Manila Luzon; Review: Stayed 2 nights for Christmas. It is a micro hotel but the rooms are spacious unlike Summit Ridge Hotel's (Tagaytay) narrow rooms. The queen-sized beds can accommodate 2-3 persons. Customer service is nice, greetings always given by staff. Nice bathroom, no bathtub for deluxe room but since we always went out to Eastwood and Tiendesitas, it's no issue. Food by Tito Chef is delicious. I think they made improvements with this area as I've read in former reviews that food was salty but I no longer encountered that during my stay here. Limited selection only for breakfast buffet but it's fine for me. I like the American Burger I ate for dinner at Tito Chef's! Internet connection is slow when you try to upload data or pictures but connection's fine when you intend to update your Facebook status.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Seda Centrio; City: Cagayan de Oro Misamis Oriental Province Mindanao; Review: We stayed from Feb. 5-7, 2014 for a business trip. This hotel is adjacent to Centrio Mall hence the name. Customer service is good, they never fail to greet you and room service is fast. I agree with one of the reviews though that online booking is so slow so I e-mailed them instead and I appreciate Princess' quick, very accommodating and understanding replies from room preferences to distance between Seda Centrio and Mallberry Suites (where our meeting was held) . We're lucky to be checked-in earlier than the 2PM standard time because there were available rooms. I requested for a pail, water dipper and extra bath soap which were provided immediately. The housekeeper maximized cleaning the room for our 2nd day of stay since we were out the whole day and we came back to a clean room. My colleague/ roommate was glad to discover that the room's phone unit has a built-in Iphone charger since she left her Iphone charger at home. The only let down would be the restaurant service at Misto. They're slow in cleaning-up tables on our day 2 breakfast. My Banana Split took almost an hour before serving on our 2nd night of stay. It's just a split Banana with scoops of Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry ice cream to be served that slow.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Balay da Blas Pensionne House; City: Laoag Ilocos Norte Province Ilocos Region Luzon; Review: Usually, #1 is associated with first class, top notch, prime, the best, etc. But not this room.... Do you love mosquitoes? How about a funky smell emanating from the room on the first time you enter it? How about visible plumbing in the ceiling of the bathroom which gives you an impression that it might be waste water coming out of that shower head? This room should be yours! This is despite my e-mail request not to be booked in Room #1 sent to Anna of Balay da Blas because of one of the reviews posted here regarding the let downs you will get in Room #1. She even replied that I was booked in the 2nd floor Junior Suite, only to find out that someone else got the room (and I personally know who it is) and the front desk explaining to me that it was that person who got the room booked first, great! To get rid of the funky smell, they used a timed air freshener. It's the summer of April 25-27 when we got booked here and boy! Was it a bit hot. What do I expect in Ilocos every summer? But I suppose the owners should know about that and it turns out that the airconditioning is only confined in the bed room while the living room area has no airconditioning, with a stand fan ready at your mercy. I wonder how my other colleagues felt about their rooms. Maybe I should have booked in one of the rooms of the Modern Ambience building. I charge that to experience. Despite the disappointments and me opting not to let it spoil my Ilocos vacation, the friendliness of the staff and the yummy food in Saramsam Ilocano Restaurant (in-house restaurant) saved my rating for this hotel from 2/5 to 3/5. To the owners, you better commend your staff for their courtesy and friendliness.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: MG Hotel Restaurant; City: Masbate City Masbate Island Masbate Province Bicol Region Luzon; Review: Stayed here from August 3-4, 2014 to catch our one and only 6:40AM flight from Masbate to Manila. It's personally a welcome respite from where we stayed during our first 3 days. Can't remember if it's a standard or deluxe room but rooms for 2 are huge, with cable TV and the weird part is that the sink is near your bed and not inside the bathroom and it's the first time I've seen this kind of setup. Home-cooked meals also served in restaurant and you have to wait eons before food gets served. I was about to get upset, it's been 45 minutes to 1 hour before our simple meal of Nilagang Manok was served. Quite large bed and quite nice bathroom. There's also a small swimming pool with cottages beside it. Don't get booked in hotels at the city center because those hotels are veeerrry old and gives that dingy impression. M.G. Hotel's at the outskirts of the city and just a tricycle ride away from the airport. They also offer you a tricycle as transport to the airport which charges Php 40.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Linden Suites; City: Pasig Metro Manila Luzon; Review: There are two setbacks: First, it's literally a deal of a walking distance to the nearest mall, which is SM Megamall. Think of it as another form of excercise. Second, don't expect much about the breakfast buffet but if you're not much into food, then you'll be very, very fine with this hotel. We stayed in a deluxe room for Christmas and it's spic and span clean. It's spacious for a deluxe room, you'll feel right at home. Very comfortable, the sleeping/ living area is carpeted, there's a separate section for the cabinet facing the bathroom. I did not encounter any issue with customer service. My room, 1205, has no view though so weren't able to see the random fireworks in the neighboring areas, a practice by some people as early as Christmas. Everything's working fine except that I didn't use the bathtub. Never mind about it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mallberry Suites Business Hotel; City: Cagayan de Oro Misamis Oriental Province Mindanao; Review: We stayed (Me and my mom) for 5D/4N from April 19-23 because of my work. I availed of our company's corporate rate which is quite a bang for the buck if you're not after luxury. Online rate's Php 1,800 (can't remember if it's a Superior or Standard Room) which translates to Php 1,684 for corporate rate. I have no complaint about the quite basic yet clean room, just bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste. This hotel's beside Limketkai Center so you can fill-in your other personal necessities if you're not satisfied with what they've provided (no face towel, no toothbrush, no toothpaste, no cotton buds, no lotion). Wi-Fi is very, very weak--don't access if not necessary. I'm fine with the breakfast, it's just that you'll get tired with the flavor if you'll stay for long and the scrambled eggs are a consistent part of the buffet breakfast (I like their mini pancakes, sotanghon and pansit). My mom noticed that the room attendants have been checking the completeness of towels everyday. Kudos to the staff for their consistent greeting, fast check-in and check-out. Overall, even if the hotel is showing its age, it's clean.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ciudad Fernandina Hotel; City: Vigan Ilocos Sur Province Ilocos Region Luzon; Review: We stayed here for 1 week from May 17-24, 2015. We booked a Deluxe Suite and reviews were right regarding the small rooms. You may run out of space if you have too much luggage. I love toiletries but they don't have a face towel, which is not a big deal for me. Aircon is directly blasting over the bed that if you have Allergic Rhinitis, you might feel irritated. It's a clean hotel with no major complaints. It's right smack in a neighborhood from the old world and 2 blocks near Calle Crisologo. I find their food delicious and I never grew tired of the countless Vigan Longganisas I've eaten for breakfast. I liked their Poqui-Poqui too. Kudos to their good customer service and brewed coffee.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Casablanca Suites; City: Legazpi Albay Province Bicol Region Luzon; Review: We chose the room with Mayon Volcano's view. They don't use cards for access to your room (they use keys). Mayon is spectacular as usual. Price is affordable. I get the feeling that you get more than what you pay for because the amenities are complete for the price of Php3,200.00/night. Toiletries are complete. You have a wall-mounted TV, mini refrigerator, complimentary bottled drinks, hot and cold shower, electric thermos, nice lighting, bed good enough for 2, nice ala carte breakfast (not buffet) and the beautiful view of Mt. Mayon. Don't bother asking about the luggage room wherein we're supposed to temporarily store our bags because they use it as a stock room of whatever they store (broom, unused boxes, etc.)so it gets dusty. We chose this suite because it's a walking distance away from Aquinas Hospital where a relative of ours was admitted (the purpose of our visit).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Harvest Hotel; City: Cabanatuan City Nueva Ecija Province Central Luzon Region Luzon; Review: It's my 2nd time in Cabanatuan (1st time was way back eons ago, when I was in college). Checked-in last Oct. 15-17, 2017. Clean room with the basically needed toiletries, I didn't bother using the Wi-Fi connection. You need to request for a blow drier if you need it. I wasn't looking forward to a grand buffet breakfast and just as expected, they have a limited selection. I feel lucky though that I still got booked into this hotel because after a couple of days, it's already fully-booked because of a government sector's national convention. I had an annoying experience though during my last night of stay about someone pressing the doorbell twice and without knowing who that person was (I used the peep hole, there's no one there). I reported it to the reception and thank God, the annoyance stopped.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Palms Hotel and Villas; City: Kissimmee Florida; Review: The Palms Hotel and Villas will suit your needs just fine. No, it's not luxury by far, but it's definitely not the worse. The staff were friendly and helpful, clean linens will be provided as you request, and the breakfast is just ok. Overall, for the money, this place will do.

The outlet mall is nearby and so is the casino for any adults who want to step away. There are plenty of activities for kiddos, but teenagers may get bored. My 16 year old wished he would've brought his playstation :(. Otherwise a good family trip.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Indigo Sky Hotel; City: Wyandotte Oklahoma; Review: Stayed one night here. The staff is amazing. They will go above and beyond to make u happy. Food is good and reasonable.

Title: The Illinois Beach Resort and Conference Center BW Premier Collection; City: Zion Lake County I; Review: Wow!! What a beautiful place! The resort is very pretty, rooms have nice decor, and plenty of things to do. The swimming pool is huge and plenty of seating. They have a game room with a pool table and arcade. The views are awesome, rather beach or park doesnt matter. While there, there was a wedding. They had the bonfire lit, right off Lake Michigan, beautiful! The sandy beach is nice with seating, swimming, plenty of selfie opportunities lol! Go! Go! Go!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham New Orleans; City: New Orleans Louisiana; Review: Me and my girls were in town for the fabulous essence fest. We booked here because it wasnt too far from where our all white cruise would be leaving. However, we were disappointed with this place! It appears deserted. Pool filthy, ice machine has gross mold dripping into it. The rooms ridiculous! Filthy, motel looking bedding, stained filthy carpet, could not take off shoes! DO NOT STAY BOOK LOOK CONSIDER,OR EVEN DRIVE BY!!; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: A controversial comedian and a former child star are eliminated on 'Masked Singer'; Abstract: After some dumb thing called the World Series tragically preempted The Masked Singer for two friggin' weeks in a friggin' row prompting Twitter outrage and ruining everyone's Halloween-week fun (for Masked Singer fans, apparently there is crying in baseball) this Wednesday, Fox finally got back to focusing on America's real favorite pastime: watching C- and D-list mystery celebrities dress up in Halloween-inspo costumes and belt out Lizzo and OneRepublic hits. And it was a double-header, to use some baseball terminology, because Fox made up for lost time by airing two episodes back-to-back. Of course, double the fun meant double the eliminations, so this week we had to bid farewell to two furry friends: the Penguin, aka comedian Sherri Shepherd, and the Black Widow, aka former child star Raven-Symone. Jenny McCarthy had guessed that pretty much every female contestant since Season1 was Shepherd, so she was destined to be correct eventually. As for the Black Widow, I got that one right. I knew that eight-legged diva was so Raven from the very beginning. Anyway, while I have missed The Masked Singer like a Rottweiler misses his bone, a flower misses the sun, or a black widow misses her web, on the plus side, the past two weeks have given me some time off to reflect, furiously pore over various Google search queries and Wikipedia pages, and change my uneducated guesses since the last time many of these kooky cosplay characters rocked the mic.

Title: Flexistay Ambers Gatwick Aparthotel; City: Horley Surrey England; Review: We stayed there for just 1 night in august after the olympic games. The place was totally empty ! There was just one other couple and we didn"t see them at all. In the morning, our host let us have breakfast on our own. He kept repeating us : the important is that you feel at home. We sure did ! The room & bathroom were small but nice with wall-to-wall carpet. We had a large door window to exit the room and access the patio. There was a table with chairs and a narrow space behind the wall where we parked our bicycles. The location was good also eventhough there's not much too do in horley. The only real downside I see finally is the price that is a little high. But it's worth it !; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Tunbridge Wells; City: Pembury Royal Tunbridge Wells Kent England; Review: we arrived late in the day all muddy with our bikes. The location is not good, the hotel is too far away from royal tunbridge wells. It was a somewhat long bike ride uphill to get to pembury. If you're on foot, you should take the bus. There are 2 bike rings where we were able to park our bicycles just outside the reception. The clerk there was not very nice and she forgot to offer us our glass of pimms ! On the contrary the spa guy was very nice to us. He tried to leave office before due time first but finally let us in on our own ! We had the spa for just the two of us, it was great. Then we had a very good night's sleep in the very confortable room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Moderne; City: Gisors Eure Haute Normandie Normandy; Review: Located in front of gisors' train station, it is nearby the city center. The hotel itself is not very nice, looks old and not well decorated. But the staff is helpful. They let us put our bikes in the laundry room. Our room was like the hotel, old and unremarkable. The price was 60€ per night (without breakfast) which is not a very good value for money in my opinion.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Arora Hotel Gatwick Crawley; City: Crawley West Sussex England; Review: We arrived with our bicycles and were allowed to keep them in our room. It was easy with the large corridors & glass-windowed elevators. The room was big and very confortable. The bathroom was incredible. It had both a tub and a shower cabin. Lots of small details make this hotel a very classy one. The location is not that good but it's ok. At less than 70€ a night, the value for money was very good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel ibis budget London Whitechapel Brick Lane; City: London England; Review: This brand new hotel is located just next to a mosque in a popular neighborhood. Bricklane is just around the corner and the tower + tower bridge are not far away. It's very modern, secure and clean since it opened 7 months ago. There's an access for disabled people in wheelchair. Unfortunately the 2 elevators were a little small for our bicycles. Thanks to the very friendly staff, those stayed in our room ! It was not too small but it was not that big either. It has no charm at all but was clean. To sum it up : good value for money for london, good location, brand new... It's probably the reason why this hotel was packed. This is the main disadvantage to this hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel China Town 2; City: Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: At first I shared a twin-bed room with my mother but because she was snorting we changed for a single-room for each of us. I could still hear her waking up at night, going to the bathroom... ! Those small rooms had no windows. They weren't nice at all but it's ok for sleeping.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Aonang Goodwill; City: Ao Nang Krabi Town Krabi Province; Review: It's location make this hotel a good place to stay away from the music and noise from the bars (but not from the mosque wich is just aside). The nightlife is not that crazy anyway so next time I'll choose a place closer to the city center and the beach. The room was spacious and had a balcony with a nice view on the street and the mountains. It was clean and the staff was ok. They sell water bottles for 15 bahts, helped us to make our cellphones work and were quite guest-friendly : they didn't ask for neither a joiner fee nor any ID...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cocoa Mews; City: George Town Penang Island Penang; Review: To begin with, the staff was very very friendly. There was some maps and other interesting infos on display at the reception. Too bad this hallway wasn't big and didn't have any living-room kind of area to chat with other guests. But you meet them anyway. I got very good vibes from most people in that place. I had a room that was small, and the mattress was too soft, the dvd I tried to watch wasn't working properly and the shower wasn't confortable but hey it's a backpacker's guesthouse, so take a bed in the dormitory and enjoy your excursions !; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel le Cedre; City: Noyon Oise Hauts de France; Review: I went there on the last day of a 20 day bike trip so I really enjoyed the comfort of the room. I paid a reduced price of 60€ since it was low season. The location is amazing : just in front of the cathedral and history museum and not far from calvin's house.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Phi Phi Uphill Cottage; City: Ko Phi Phi Don Krabi Province; Review: I chose this hotel for it's location. It's close to the beach & viewpoint but a little outside the noisy nightlife, but just a little because a lot of young people stay there and they talk loud. The downside is that it's uphill ! So you have to walk a few stairs to reach your bungalow. Those were really simple and had a few bugs despite the AC. The bathroom wasn't nice either. I don't think they cleaned the room during my 2 night stay. It was not that expensive so I guess it's ok if you stay only a few days.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Lanta Mermaid Boutique House; City: Ko Lanta Krabi Province; Review: The hotel & the rooms are very nice & well decorated. The staff is very helping, even the housekeepers are super smiling. I enjoyed the breakfast very much also. The only problem to this hotel is that there were too many rules. I didn't feel at home at all. The most annoying of these rules was the joiner fee. You have to pay 500 bahts each time you bring a guest (massage lady for instance) to your room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB SPH-L710 Marble White - Boost Mobile; Brand: Samsung; Review: I bought this phone to replace an lg model that got a slight bit of water on it which caused the main camera to stop working. I have been using this for over a year and am still quite impressed with it. The quality of the pictures with the camera is pretty good, plus I really enjoy the voice features of Galaxy since you can ask it questions and it will give you answers, similar to Siri on another type of phone. The battery has lasted quite long and I am glad that I am able to expand the memory with an sd card so I can take plenty of pictures and videos. My husband was impressed with my phone as well and he ended up getting one to replace another model of lg that was giving him tons of problems. We are both very satisfied with our phones!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: iPhone 6s Case, roocase [Gelledge] iPhone 6s Full Body PC / TPU Case Cover (Granite; Brand: rooCASE; Review: I really like this case. It protects the iphone 6 without being overly bulky. I refuse to pay the insane prices for cases like otterbox. In my opinion, this case works just as well without the crazy cost. It fits the phone perfectly and even with the case on, it can still fit in a pocket for ease of carrying. I recommend this case to others who want an inexpensive but high quality case to protect their phone. I received this product in exchange for my unbiased review; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Waterproof iPhone Case With Deluxe Premium Universal Waterproof External; Brand: FitFon; Review: This is a nice case that is meant for situations where it may be exposed to water, like the pool or the beach.

I received this product as a promotion in exchange for my unbiased review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: iPhone 6s Case, roocase [Glacier TOUGH] iPhone 6 (4.7) Hybrid Scratch Resistant Clear PC; Brand: rooCASE; Review: This a great quality case for the iphone 6. I like the simplistic look of the case. It fits my iphone 6 very well--nice and snug. I also like the added feature of the built in screen protector. This will prevent the touchscreen of my phone getting scratched up. The build of the case allows access to all buttons and the camera lens without hindering their functions. I also like how the black bumper outlines the phone while letting the color of your phone show through the clear casing.

Title: S6 Case, Samsung Galaxy S6 Case, rooCASE Glacier Tough [Mil-Spec; Brand: rooCASE; Review: I love rooCASE products. They are very high quality and fit the product perfectly. This Samsung Galaxy S6 fits the bill. This case is quite sturdy--there is protection for the sides, back as well as the front. The front protection is great as it also acts as a touchscreen cover. This allows you to use the touchscreen of your phone without scratching or smudging the display with your fingerprints. The openings needed for the camera lens, headphone and charger ports are very accurate. The main thing I like about this is that it is clear on both the front and the back--you can see the beauty of the phone. I received this product in exchange for my unbiased review; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Galaxy S6 Case, rooCASE [PLEXIS IMPAX] Galaxy S6 Clear Back Design [Slim-Fit] Protective Hybrid PC; Brand: rooCASE; Review: This is another high quality product from roocase.

Title: Rothco Vintage Paratrooper Fatigue; Brand: Rothco; Review: Well, I got a couple pairs of these pants to use for PT. I really like them. They're very comfortable and have held up really well so far. Sizing runs pretty standard. I wear a 32-34 and the medium fit me very well. Adjustable waist tabs work really well. They don't slip or anything, so the waist is easy to adjust.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Casio Men's Sport Analog Dive Watch; Brand: Casio; Review: This is a really great little watch. It's not incredibly stylish. And by that, I mean I wouldn't wear it with a suit and tie, but for everything else, it works fine. I used it when I got my SCUBA certification. It works as a dive watch and it works for just about everything else. It's very simple. Don't expect lots of fancy bells and whistles. The one recommendation I would make it to buy some screen protectors for the glass. I tend to be hard on watches and I managed to ding and scratch the glass to hell. It doesn't bother me at all. I can still use it perfectly well, but just to those buying a new one, protect the glass.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chaco Men's Rex Sandal; Brand: Chaco; Review: I love these. I've had them for a couple months now and I've done everything from cliff diving to hiking mountains in them. They work for everyday wear and they're more comfortable than almost anything else I own for just walking around. I like strapping them onto a bag when I go camping so I can have them to wear around. I considered running my last Tough Mudder in them but decided against it for toe protection reasons. They are also, thinner than most other Chacos out there, which make them both lighter and, in my opinion, more attractive than their counterparts.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Compact Hanging Toiletry Bag, Personal Organizer | Water Resistant, Mesh Pockets & Sturdy Hook; Brand: NeatPack; Review: I bought this over two years ago to use at Officer Candidate School. Since then, Ive used it in the field, on trips, or just if I need to stay overnight on base. It has held up very well, and it has plenty of space for the things I need (razor, travel shaving cream, toothbrush, toothpaste, bug spray, hand lotion, chapstick, purel wipes, camo paint, etc). It was a good buy for me; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Po Hotels Semarang; City: Semarang Central Java Java; Review: Visited Semarang during end of year 2015 and welcoming 2016, this trip is for business and leisure. Overall the Crowne Plaza is great hotel, except with a bit over budget and not include breakfast are bit weird. The FO staff offer a discount for breakfast but seems not worth for just a coffee, egg, or nasi goreng and mie goreng, or buffet. Check in by late night and long trip from Jakarta and Surabaya thats night, what we expect is just get some rest, but it's okay with no welcome drink offered or prepared for us. As it might because we check in late night ?? But thats fine as we just need sleep. Based on our online booking to hotel website, we are husband and wife and book for king or queen size bed room. But with not much info the FO staff gave us twin bed standard, well too sleepy to think and call back or waiting for any decision made by FO staff, we decided to just take it. Room 909, the view are nice with the Semarang city view. Arrive late night so we order dinning in/room service, the menu was limited, while we expect more special of local Semarang cuisine, after search we end up with only Nasi Goreng or Mie Goreng, very standard , but not much options as the menu filled with western food which is not what we looking for to visit Semarang. The two things annoying is the sound from others room or the hallway still can heard inside the room, and the security check thats always open our bag, with our nearly 5 days /4 night stay think security or staff can recognise us as hotel guest not mall visitor, as the hotel in same building of PARAGON mall, which no security check, why the hotel security system with opening bag and private belonging required? We not really understand, for hotel guest enough with mentioned room number and x raying bag are enough no need to open guest bag and personal belonging as its show disrespect and uncomfortable for us. Seems we have been stay in some star ratting hotel before no need to open bag to do security check. Thats might management need to consider, as feel secure doesn't mean disobey the comfort of the guest. Overall its nice place to stay, with a few notes and hope management response for the security system technique, we will back to stay in the future.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Jakarta; City: Jakarta Java; Review: My wife and I have stayed in Westin Jakarta for 2 Nights ( 31 Dec 2016 - 02 January 2017) for a New Year celebration.

Title: Sonya Homestay; City: Senggigi Lombok West Nusa Tenggara; Review: Was traveling to Senggigi with a friend, as we walk around the beach during day time arrival from Bali and stop over in Mataram for a moment. And we decided to find some room later due its not a high season at all. After couples hours we spent by the beach, round 8pm after dinner we walk down the road try to find some room. And we end up at this place at Sonya inside dark alley and decided to stay for 2-3 nights with paid at front. The lady who own are not really clear with price as she not speak good english nor Bahasa too. With such a nightmare comparing with cheap room in Bali 150K you got nice room and clean and clean alley, or even close to the beach. But as my friend and I was tired after the big day, than we try to sleep, but God...this place a worst than a small huts of Balinese farmer, smelly toilet inside the room leaking pipe, and a not stop guest or guy near our room coughing like got some Tuberculosis. Totally we not sleep well, and breakfast....?? Which the lady that night said include breakfast but we end up drink our own water. The worst room are twilight all the time, no ventilation. Smelly ...yuccckkkk...a Nightmare..than we decided to ask back our money of other night a head back. Cheap but nightmare !!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Samanvaya; City: Sidemen Karangasem Bali; Review: this is our second time come to stay in Samanvaya .First time to celebrate my birthday on February 2017 for 5 nights, and this second times we come again for celebrate Christmas 2017 and New Year 2018. We stay for 4 nights. Spending NYE in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere of spiritual village of Sidemen wasn't a bad idea. As we used and much more enjoying ourselves close with nature and surround by relaxing feeling. NYE we just do some special dinner in Samanvaya Restaurant ( Rice Barn Restaurant), the food is amazing as always. The Room we got for this time stay is Lumbung Padi Merah, it's a very unique bamboo made house of Bali traditional barn with quit modern facility. Its really fantastic and very warm with nature surrounding and fit with Sidemen climate which is quite cool. With a lush green hills and rice field as the view. A fantastic afterglow on sunset and also red skies of sunrise in the morning both can seen from bed room in lower floor and living room at upper floor. The bed room are cozy, bath room are clean well maintenance. And also give a romantic lighting at night. And if you just want to be relax and enjoying hotel facility, you can just hang out get some afternoon coffee or tea while dipping in their hot tub just front of your room. The staff as always is very helpful, friendly and also reliable, always greet and smile it's just make us feel like being home. Their Front Desk staff such Made, Devi and Diah , or Pak Gede, and of course the twin sisters Mas and Mirah at Rice Barn restaurant which just know what our favourite fruit and food just in 2 times visit. And of course the best Ayam Kalas and Babi Kecap as our favourite local dishes are made in really local Bali taste by Gusthi the Chef. As my wife are very concern with healthy food, we very carefully in food contain MSG and they can accommodate our needed very well. And don't forget to try their few home made product such the home made jam, made of real fresh fruit with extra cinnamon flavour on it .. not too sweet . its really good to start your day with warm home made toast We very recommended for family, couple, the spiritual seeker or even solo traveler to stay in Samanvaya, as the atmosphere fit every kind of travelers need. We definitely will stay with them again in our every next visit. Terimakasih...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Puri Santrian; City: Sanur Denpasar Bali; Review: Spent 3 nights 4 days with family, with a greta deal after new years eve 2018. Laid with 4 different swimming pool two at beach side and other two near our room, and very green relaxing atmosphere with typically Bali tropical garden where birds and squirrels a freely running at yard front of our hotel can remind how peaceful the area. And most of it the staff very attentive and friendly. Breakfast its just okay but with the beach view thats will be a plus in the morning of Sanur beach. Room are clean and nice. If you looking a great service hotel with perfect beach side location. We recommended to stay in Puri Santrian. We definitely will stay with them in another Sanur visit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: I went to check in to the hotel and discovered I was a day early!! But the front desk staff was great they arranged for me to have a room @ the Courtyard Marriott a block away for one night. The Fairfield's valet parking service was very good my car was always in front of the hotel with in the 10 min. after I called them. One of the best car valet service I have had the opportunity to use.

Title: Locanda Garzelli; City: Quercianella Province of Livorno Tuscany; Review: The hotel is a combination of a 6 room hotel and a restaurant. The rooms are small but very nice. Bathrooms could be improved though. The restaurant is very good. In the evening the noise from the restaurant is from 8 till 12, but of you are used to staying up late, it is not disturbing. The people are very nice and try very hard to please the guests. The view at sea is one of the best you can imagine. We had a very nice time and I can recommend it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Arikanda River Garden Hotel; City: Adrasan Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: This is a simple, though pleasant hotel if you can do without the luxury of a television and a swimming pool in front of your accommodation. It is a perfect place if you want to enjoy a relaxing holiday in authentic Turkish lifestyle. Near the beach and surrounded by small shops and restaurants. But the best food you can get is by the family that runs the hotel. The kitchen is equipped with a wood oven that is used to create the finest dishes. The hotel and restaurant is ran by brothers and their families who make you feel special and at home.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Our 28 participants, love the hotel and the service and attention from the staff and Group Sales is excellent. We book executive and standard rooms and use the community room also, which is equipped for slide shows and laptop hookups. The location is great for the courses we play. The beds were comfortable and the pool and hot tub were soothing after 36 holes. A great hotel; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Niagara Crossing Hotel Spa; City: Lewiston New York; Review: We stayed at the BArton Hotel and Spa and although the building andlobby is very nice the service was extremely poor and you can hear everyone beside, below and above you. The poor kid who served us was hopelessly unorganized and overwhelmed and under trained, asking for our main dish order before our drink, forgetting our appetizer. We waited 55 minutes for our dinner entre to arrive. Breakfast in the morning was barely edible with no servers in site and hard over cooked quiches and limited items. The whole building was extremely cold and damp and we had to get sweaters just to eat dinner. The building and lobby is very nice and location is excellent. They have a long way to go and need to hire skilled hospitality people instead of minimum wage high school kids.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Sauble Falls Bed Breakfast; City: Wiarton Bruce County Ontario; Review: We were up on the Bruce Peninsula for a weddign this weekend and stayed at the Suable Falls B&B. It was a great experience. Doug and Tracey were great hosts and everyhting was great from the breakfast prepared by Doug, a trained chef, to the porch over looking Sauble River, the hot tub, to their help for dinner. It is located right beside the Sauble Falls at the north end of Sauble Provincial Park. A great time and we would highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Irish Mountain Bed and Breakfast; City: Meaford Grey County Ontario; Review: We just had a wonderful week at the Irish Mountain B&B in Meaford. Roberta and Diana were excellent hosts. Our room was incredible with a fabulous view, fireplace and private hot tub. Everything was above par including the assortment of breakfasts each day. We had dinners at various restaurants and even BBQd in one night and had dinner on the deck. Although the weather was iffy we did sit by swimming pool and studied the week away. Our room, the Mountain Loft, was private and even had a small fridge and microwave and satellite TV, to keep the local Thornbury Cider cold and up to date on the hockey games. The King Size bed was so comfortable and with the windows open the fresh air helped with deep level REM sleeps. We walked down to an eclectic diner named Ted's. Although a little pricey the menu and service were original and we enjoyed the Wednesday night musical jam night. Thanks so much for a great week. Now if we could just have normal Ontario spring weather!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rideau Rendezvous; City: Kingston Ontario; Review: We had two great night at the Rideau Rendezvous hosted by Al and Donna. We chose this as our base for a weekend in Kingston and it was a great stay. The waterfront picturesqueness and tranquility of the dock was so enjoyable. We did some studying on the dock and some afternoon naps in the dockside screened in porch. Rooms were great and Al persuaded us to drive a short loop north and we had a great trip exploring Newboro and Westport. We walked al over Kingston and had dinner at the new Jack Astor's rooftop patio and enjoyed the view and the warm night. Breakfasts were excellent. Wonderful large property 15km north of Kingston. Great place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar; City: Punta Cana La Altagracia Province Dominican Republic; Review: What a week. For a simple week away on the beach the Grand Bahia Principe Ambar Resort was wonderful. The numerous beach palapas provided a great way to enjoy the day and prevent the roasted tomato look acquired by some fair skinned canucks. Service was excellent with guys to help out and the servers coming by fairly regularly. You could walk up to the beach bar. The magnificent pool and requisite swim up bar with activities was an incredible afternoon destination. The Bavaro beach walk, approximately 5km, each day was picturesque and soothing for the soul. The Ambar allows booking in a la carte restaurants each night and we enjoyed the signature Don Pablo twice. All the restaurant options were great and the large buffet right by the beach and pool was convenient. The choices changed regularly and service was excellent. The resort is so large and we explored the Esmeralda and loved its champagne jacuzzi pool. The theatre shows were ok. Our corner room in building 69 was very large and the nicest surprise was no surprise. It was clean, comfortable and well maintained. We travelled on a Monday with Air Canada Vacations. Our check-in and transfers were seamless and no hassles. One small concern is that free wifi was limited to one hour per day and only accessible in the lobby. We loved the home made Mamajuana All in all, excellent and highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Burton s Sunset Oasis Motel; City: Bay St Lawrence Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia; Review: After travelling from Pleasant Bay we were headed south and ran into a great kid, who said there is no way we could come this far and not go to Bay St Lawrence and Meat Cove, so we turned around and headed north. We booked here for the night and it truly was a great decision. We booked our room and it was a lovely old fashioned, kitchenette, everything we needed, clean, comfortable, every channel on the TV. After a spectacular drive to Meat Cove, we got take out dinner at the Hut, 2 min from the motel, and opened a bottle of wine on the picnic table and enjoyed the spectacular 270 degree view which is unparalleled. Watching the sunset and ocean to the right and overview of the town and surrounding hills and valleys, it truly was beautiful. We talked with Mel and heard great stories, about the town and the people. Mel serves a little morning tea/coffee toast and we had our own breakfast fixings. It is a beautiful place and having a great motel is a bonus. The trip to Meat Cove is simply breathtaking, with a great beach and rock face. Bring the picnic basket and enjoy the day; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: June s B B By The Sea; City: Antigonish Nova Scotia; Review: We have had a great trip touring through the East Coast and we stayed at June's B&B. It is a good as a B&B as you could ever hope for. Besides being an incredible host, the place is on the ocean, has a fire and horseshoe pit. The two rooms are immaculate, sheets are comfy, and the bathroom is a 10+, well appointed with so many amenities. Breakfast was great, bacon and eggs, with fresh muffins and well steeped tea. It is a little of the track located closer to Antigonish than New Glasgow but the drive along Hwy 337 is great. Nice porches, gardens, with well appointed rooms. And I as said, June is helpful and the muffins were excellent.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Edgewood Resort; City: Alexandria Bay New York; Review: Our annual stay at the Edgewood was very disappointing this year. The staff was pleasant but seem unorganized. We were told by the management that there goal is to make money and nothing is free. The manager also threatened to boot us out if there was any damage. I couldn't believe how unprofessional they were. Our dinner in the restaurant was a disaster with under meals, over cooked potatoes and meals that were twenty minutes late and arrived after most of us had finished. Our room was ok but lacked basic amenities. It was a beautiful weekend temperature was and the pool was in great shape. Unfortunately the towels are only available from the main office and we told that we would be charged $30 on checkout. However we did retrun all our towels. It is a great location but management, service and value is very poor. We will look for another place next year.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Webster; City: Webster Finger Lakes New York; Review: We were just in Webster on a return trip for our annual Golf Trip, 28 of us. The hotel and their staff were just great, the rooms were excellent. We rented the front ballroom each night for our meetings and award presentations. One night we ordered in pizza and the other dinner was catered by Proetti's, a local family owned Italian restaurant. The beds were so comfortable. We would highly recommend this hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hockley Valley Resort; City: Mono Ontario; Review: We recently had our company conference at Hockley Valley Resort in Mono near Orangeville, Ontario. I had been there before but only for the golf and not experienced inside. It was a wonderful trip and I would highly recommend. The meeting facilities were excellent, with great chairs, good air movement and very comfortable surroundings. Wifi was free and worked well everywhere The six meals in the various restaurant spaces were all incredible with interesting plating, great and varied and tasty food choices, including local choices, home grown vegetables, great proteins and incredible wines. We dined in the main restaurant, out on the patio and in the outdoor garden, which included it's own outdoor wood oven pizza fireplace. At night the outside bar is incredible as you look up on stars, with tow fire pits and wind protective coverings. An excellent hangout after dinner. Out rooms were exceptional and large spacious rooms, well appointed with king beds and sitting business areas. Bathrooms and finishes were excellent. The TV's and cable system were very poor quality, slow and very frustrating to use. Housekeepers very courteous polite but a little slow in turning over some rooms. The course was still open and in great shape and the fall leaves and views from the restaurant and rooms were quite spectacular and relaxing. Staff and front desk were very helpful. The place was busy with three weddings. All in all an excellent three days and I would highly recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Homewood Suites By Hilton Ajax Ontario Canada; City: Ajax Ontario; Review: Just spent a great weekend at the Homewood Suites in Ajax. Brand new but what a great hotel. Rooms were excellent, obvious ownership is new Canadian and they work hard to make sure all their customers are happy. Rooms were excellent, well laid out for a couples weekend, staff was friendly and helpful. I love great customer service. Lots of parking, luggage baggies, accessories just off the check in table, well appointed rooms, I am a Hilton HHonors member and love the chain. Comfortable king bed and all the expected amenities of a suite hotel. Granted me are in Durham which has limited choices but this is a great hotel. A little pricey but you get what you pay for. No complaints at all; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar; City: Punta Cana La Altagracia Province Dominican Republic; Review: We returned for a second time at the Ambar and the resort is wonderful but we had some major issues. We got sick after one day, despite taking all precautions and lost four days of our seven. Almost everyone we talked to one couple or another were and down for a day or two. The place is still wonderful and there is a good reason for so many for the glowing reviews, but service is starting to slip. Our week Jan 23-30 was sold out. The resort is very nice a sold 3.5 or 4 star. It is very easy to see why so many people love this resort but it is big and each guest is still an individual guest Here are the things that are Excellent - The Ambar Pool, grounds, rooms, bathrooms, lobby bar, Swim up Bar and Bartenders, Beach, Chairs, swimming, water, room service, appearance of grounds, trolley system Las Brisas (great Staff), room furnishings, beds, bathroom amenities/supplies, security/feeling safe Average - booking of pool beach chairs, Entertainment package, Lousy - Management (don't seem to care), Sports Bar (it's the worst), Pool Entertainment (music was so loud, I love my job guy was so irritating), Wifi package (too many codes, so difficult and temperamental), not Seniors (75 plus) friendly, Customer Service - it does take some time to find out about things and we were told about Concierge and Butler service but they were never there or busy with others. It is a pain to finally find out about quality services and hints on day 5 of 7. Restaurants- We ate in all four restaurants, Don Pablo, Portofino, El Oliva and Rodiquo. Food quality is generally very high but predictable , but staff seemed stretched and too many guests as many nights were sold out well in advance. Although it did seem like we were in the same restaurant each night. The food the offering the service was all the same. Although quality of décor, service, is all pretty high, uniqueness between them all scores a 2 out of 10. It is a big resort and the factory/cookie cutter is clearly evident Last Year Feb 2014 the house red and white was excellent, this year Jan 2015 it has changed and was below average Beach Just amazing, long walks, the Ambar section is great, clean, close to pool, close to Los Brisas, close to Bar, very convenient. We saw some seaweed, but the beach and water colour/quality is still close to being the very best you could ever hope for. Rooms Excellent, doesn't get much better, good sleeps, washrooms very comfortable. Service great. On the whole it is a wonderful place. The value here is excellent. Staff is friendly. Food Drinks are above average, not a five star but if you like the majority of simple things done well then you will really enjoy it here. Bring your Bubba,; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Myrtlewood Villas; City: Myrtle Beach South Carolina; Review: Having been a five year veteran of Myrtle bEach golfer accommodation Myrtlewood Villas was a huge disappointment. Although our condo was fundamentally ok =, the customer service and pools, hot tubs were extremely disappointing. In out scenario we don't spend a lot of time in the condo but we do bbq one night each week and we do hot tub, after 36 holes to rejuvenate the muscles. We had no access to the only hot tub and the CSR was not interested in helping us at all. No one uses the only hot tub/fitness centre in the whole place. TV in the in unit was a Walmart no name piece of crap with limited inputs.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Bridgeport; City: Bridgeport West Virginia; Review: First of all we love Holiday Inn Express. It starts with the most important thing which is the best bed and a good nights sleep. which our first time stay in Bridgeport was excellent. We drove from Uxbridge to see the penguins play the Islanders and then drove 90 minutes to Bridgeport and arrived late. We were not disappointed, we were welcomed about 12:15 and everything was in order and we had a great nights sleep, excellent breakfast, everything was as expected and staff was friendly and courteous. Can't ask for anything more. A little expensive but worth every penny for the no surprise; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Inn Motel; City: Smiths Falls Ontario; Review: After coming home from Ottawa we found this great motel in Smith Falls. After arriving very late the owner graciously received us and got us to our room. Although bathroom was small the whole room was great and clean. Good size bed, a huge TV, free parking, frig, and a small sitting area. Property was very good with lots of grass and swinging chairs to enjoy the night. Highly recommended.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ottawa Inn; City: Ottawa Ontario; Review: We recently stayed at the Ottawa Inn on Montreal Road, while we were there for the Shania Twain concert. It was a busy weekend in Ottawa with Canada and Women's World Cup and the Ottawa Inn was perfect. it is a short 4 minute drive from the Byward Market. Under new management as we learned the rooms are not big at all, but the place was clean, including sparkling shiny ceramic tile floors throughout, free parking free wifi and the price was cheap or great value however you look at it. Front desk was very helpful and knowledgeable. Rooms had fridge, microwave, small but clean bathrooms. Great for a short stay just off the downtown. Would be perfect for skating on the Rideau in winter; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Hidden Gem Bed and Breakfast; City: Windsor Ontario; Review: We had a wonderful weekend in Windsor at Jim and Barbe's The Kirks Bed and Breakfast. They were so friendly and helpful. Jim was a walking talking historian about the town and history. We used the bikes and enjoyed a wonderful ride. Great proximity, to the Casino and steps to the waterfront. Great Parking. Wonderful marmalade with the breakfast, great wifi, we stayed in the loft, well furnished and good working space. Great for couples in good neighbourhood. We will be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kaleido Lodge Yukon; City: Whitehorse Yukon; Review: Stayed here for a night on my arrival in Whitehorse. Although we didn't see too many staff. Our room and key as ready on arrival. I like a clean place and this was excellent. I think I heard it opened in 2015. There are six rooms with a nice deck, good parking, wifi, heated toilet seat, self serve breakfast. I would certainly return. About 15 min south of Whitehorse on the Alaskan Highway.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Colonies at Williamsburg Resort; City: Williamsburg Virginia; Review: We recently stayed at the Colonies at Williamsburg and this a a pretty nice facility. The suites were excellent, well appointed, clean and everything you could hope for. We had three issues, one we ordered a 4 bedroom and we were given a two, two bedroom units the outdoor pool wasn't open even though it was 95 degrees and the outdoor propane bbq tank was empty and it took almost an hour to get it refilled. We were there, the first week in May and the service and check in people and lines were very good and the people were friendly. It is a very easy property to navigate. Outdoor hot tub was open and very nice. We enjoyed Williamsburg and it was a pleasant change from Myrtle Beach and Orlando; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Brockville; City: Brockville Ontario; Review: The Days Inn in Brockville is great value for the money. It isn't the nicest put it was clean, friendly, free internet, large parking lot, breakfast included, not great but certainly passable. Great location right off 401, IF your budget is tapped this is a great place to stay; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Chicago Tinley Park; City: Tinley Park Illinois; Review: We were in Tinley Park this weekend and stayed here. It was pretty good choice. The front desk was very helpful, room was clean and as reserved. The hotel seemed to be recently renovated, great ice machine, everything excellent except the the food as breakfast was a little scarce. With half an hour to go only small bits left. Great hotel and I certainly would go back again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Brockville; City: Brockville Ontario; Review: I was just in Brockville and I have been to over 75 Holiday Inn Express locations and there is nothing better. The rates are what they are, but that comes with everything so darn good. From amenities, pool, hot tub, clean comfortable beds, working ice machines, friendly staff, accommodating 11am arrival to the cinnamon buns at breakfast. This Brockville location did a great job in every way.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn; City: Dubuque Iowa; Review: We had a good stay here. For the value it was excellent. It may seem a little outdated, but our room was excellent. Everything worked, parking, wifi, elevators, ice machine, beds and bathrooms were clean. Breakfast was ok, Holiday Inn and Hampton are the best. But for $75 it was great, Holiday Inn and Hampton charge $125 to $150. There was a free shuttle to the casino also, which we used. Front desk help was great and our reservation and keys were all ready to go.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Chicago West Loop; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: We were very disappointed at this weekend stay. First of all the whole entrance is a mess due to construction and getting in and out of the hotel was a disaster. It seems like the parking garage next door is under construction so all the guests have to get in and out this one narrow strip. Valet parking was still $49. All the hotel workers were on strike and had been for some time. They, about 35 members, were protesting as we walked down Halstead. Most hotels post warnings about service inconsistencies but not this one. THe area is nice in Greektown with lots of amenities near by. Our room was nice, clean but definitely in need of renovations. Sure it isn't Michigan Ave or another premier location but it was still pricey. Our room did have a nice balcony, but the view was very poor, more building and construction sites; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Bad Teacher; Brand: Jason Segel; Review: The idea has potential, but it was thrown together by 8th graders. It could have been Twenty First Century Animal House on Hip Hop and wound up as a sort of Hanna Montana with a very mild dose of attitude. Missed opportunity to create a classic. Too bad.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Final Prophecies; Brand: Ronnie Cohen; Review: First, they take events in the Bible and explain them rationally, as possible natural events, then later in the film, call them miracles. Look, they are either explainable, or miracles, but they can't be both. Second, it appears to be a homage to Israel. If it is, it's rather left handed because it becomes apparent that much if not all of the war in the Middle East could have been avoided if there hadn't been Judaism, and further, that future wars (so called prophesies) couldn't happen without Judaism. So are Jews the good guys or the bad guys? Or does God just like to jerk around humanity and lay the blame on the Jews or lay the blame on the rest of the world for picking on the Jews? Third, if all of this MUST come true, as the film says (it's in the Bible, the Bible is absolutely true, blah, blah) then what difference does knowing it in advance make? Fourth, a real 'prophesy,' to have any value, has to outline what will happen AND when. The Bible prophesies are like astrology, vague enough to be tacked onto almost any bad event, and never pinned down as to even a particular millenium, much less a year. Don't waste your time.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Constantine; Brand: Keanu Reeves; Review: It's a bit choppy, uneven, but overall it was entertaining. (If I want to be educated, I'll watch a documentary.) I would have preferred 31/2 stars, but can't do it on Amazon. Tilda Swinton is always good, and is good here, if underutilized. Rachel Whatever was overpaid if she made more than $1, the supporting cast was fun, Lucifer is not to be missed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Constantine [Blu-ray] [Blu-ray] (2008); Brand: Keanu Reeves; Review: It's a bit choppy, uneven, but overall it was entertaining. (If I want to be educated, I'll watch a documentary.) I would have preferred 31/2 stars, but can't do it on Amazon. Tilda Swinton is always good, and is good here, if underutilized. Rachel Whatever was overpaid if she made more than $1, the supporting cast was fun, Lucifer is not to be missed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Veronica Mars: Season 1; Brand: Kristen Bell; Review: The stories in this series are simplistic and the characters are wooden. That said, it's not horrible. I'd have given it three stars, but Kristen Bell is soooo hot, I gave it another star for visual sparkle.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bad Seed VHS; Brand: Nancy Kelly; Review: If you have no imagination, and want to suffer intense boredom for a couple of hours, by all means watch this movie. I suppose it might have been the thing in 1956, but now it's drivel. I expect it to show up on Mystery Science Theater 3000 any day now.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Aeon Flux; Brand: Charlize Theron; Review: First, Theron wears the same outfit the entire movie, it's sexy for the first three minutes. Second, she's a cold blooded killer, but can't kill the guy she's sent to kill because...they were lovers!!! Like, nobody knew this BEFORE they sent her to kill him? And there's all the flips though the air, and impossible martial arts, it's like a typical Chinese martial arts film. It's about $5 overpriced for the $2.99 I paid to rent it. Oh well, live and learn. As a side note, I've yet to see a Charlize Theron movie I liked. In my not so humble opinion, she is a grossly overrated actor. Hot does not equal good.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Melancholia; Brand: Hikaru Kawamura; Review: The depressed and neurotic rich meet a planet with an ego even bigger than theirs. Spoiler, the plant wins thankfully. For those of you into rather oversized breasts, there's a long shot of Kirsten's. I suppose the idea that she 'knows things' meant she knew the end of the Earth was coming soon. That would make it either more difficult or perhaps easier to enjoy your wedding reception. She decided to make it difficult. Hubby for an evening was kind of a dork anyway. This is the kind of movie that will show up on Mystery Science Theater 3000 sooner or later. The way to enjoy it is to add your own dialogue and observations as the movie plods along; add a pitcher of vodka martinis, well chilled.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Aggression Scale; Brand: Ray Wise; Review: It's a gore fest, but very decently done, definitely worth the watch, and the girl is hot. Pop up the corn and enjoy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: We Need to Talk About Kevin; Brand: Tilda Swinton; Review: If you like scenes that take three times longer to play out than necessary, with lots of nothing, sitting, staring, haunted looks, confusing flashbacks and no explanation of anyone's behavior, this is the flick for you. It also helps if you are fascinated with red (no, not from bloodshed, just....red.); Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Woman; Brand: Pollyanna McIntosh; Review: Or what's left of the family after The Woman gets done with it. If you are in the mood for a twisted gore fest, or are just genuinely depraved, rent this. I'd write more, but I just finished watching and I need a long hot shower and a large vodka.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Prometheus; Brand: Noomi Rapace; Review: Well, it's typical, curiosity kills everyone. If you get this, you can skip the first hour, nothing happens. Charlize gets stuck with an entirely plastic character, Noomi's heroine is totally predictable. Slimy ugly aliens and a lot of dark graphics so you can't see much of anything.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Outcast; Brand: James Cosmo; Review: If you into not seeing what the heck is going on, this is the flick for you. The best I can tell, it's about birds, mostly pigeons. There's not a single attractive person in the cast, which may explain the lack of illumination. Good thing I have Amazon Prime, I'd hate to think I spent extra to watch it.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Escape; Brand: Isabel Christine Andreasen; Review: This was a neat movie. Skips all the costume stupidity of Hunger Games, the action starts a few minutes in, and it keeps going. (Just don't expect anyone to remotely resemble the photo.) The bad guy (woman) is pure evil and the two girls do a splendid job. Did I say I liked it?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Woman in Black; Brand: Daniel Radcliffe; Review: Watch Not Harry Potter as he walks sloooowwly through a DARK HOUSE, which might be fun except it's SO dark you can't tell what's going on, an-duh, when he gets to wherever the funny noise is, it's nothing. (Dark rooms, dark forests, dark caves are a recurrent technique in horror films, note to directors: it isn't horror unless you can SEE what's so horrible.) Watch Not Harry express not a scintilla of emotion. Watch as the movie crawls along with all the pacing of a Bergman film and you realize, to YOUR horror, that grass grows faster than the velocity of this flick. Watch as the grossly overused characterization of insular and suspicious people of the SMALL VILLAGE stare at Not Harry with INTIMIDATING GLARES. Watch IN HORROR as you realize some poor souls actually paid money to see Not Harry do Not Much.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Exo Terra Gecko Cave for Reptiles; Brand: Exo Terra; Review: Worked perfect for my snakes. Again, had to remove the bottom to allow for more room (had the same issue with the small one), but with that done, my most finicky snake had no problem settling in to it. It's ok, but not for snakes over 4'.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Zilla Premium Reflector Domes; Brand: Zilla; Review: At first I was surprised at the size, I almost returned it but tried it out first. The width really radiates the heat well, In fact, using the same bulb, it completely over powers the standard 4" domes I currently have. I think the size makes this lamp much more useful and cost-effective as it heats up the cage quicker and holds the heat longer. I'll be replacing all of my smaller ones with these.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yaheetech 45" Pet Puppy Dog Playpen Exercise Pen Kennel 600d Oxford Cloth with Carry Bag; Brand: Yaheetech; Review: Worked for a while, but the netting gave out. The netting is not secured well so it pulls out of the seam pretty quick. purchased 2 of these and had the same experience both times.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Exo Terra Plastic Terrarium Plant, Large, Mandarin; Brand: Exo Terra; Review: These work great in my 5-10 gallon tanks to provide extra hiding cover near their hut or in corners or just provide a bit of security away from the "hot" side of the cage. Easy to wash and these leaves are soft not rigid.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |

Title: Country Inn Suites by Radisson Red Wing MN; City: Red Wing Minnesota; Review: Glacial slow check in, inadequate bathroom lighting, dirty soap dish and a miniscule breakfast selection, all for $120.00. Why bother with this when there are several better options available.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express St Ignace Lake Front; City: Saint Ignace Mackinac County Upper Peninsula Mic; Review: This hotel offers excellent views of the lake for the small balconies in each room. The room was cleand and functional except for the small, dark bathroom. The TV sucked also. A good location as it is close enough to town and far enough out to be quiet. The breakfast was standard fare. Not a perfect place but I would certainly stay there again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites Lake Geneva East; City: Lake Geneva Wisconsin; Review: You get what you pay for here. I paid $89.00 plus a sneaky additional $1.50 for "in room safe rental". Room was decent, service OK. Breakfast was boring. I would stay here again if nothing else is available. This is also one of the cheaper Lake Geneva rooms so temper your expectations.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn St Louis South County Center; City: Mehlville Saint Louis Missouri; Review: For $90.00 the room was excellent. May be priced lower than normal due to nearly completed re-modeling. Located adjacent to I-55 but in and out to Lindbergh Blvd. will try your patience. Nearly imposslible during rush hour. So, good price, the actual location is good but access is terrible. No breakfast included in price. Also, they charge $5.00 more for a second person in room. Next door to Krispy Kreme!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Country Inn Suites by Radisson Eagan MN; City: Eagan Minnesota; Review: Elevator did not work, screwed up the reservation, breakfast room too small, zero seats were available, one wash cloth and one hand towel for two people, "refurbished" ? ? I would be you could to better somewhere else.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Country Inn Suites by Radisson Marinette WI; City: Marinette Wisconsin; Review: Straight up chain hotel will all the amenities. Good service, clean rooms, everything A-OK and no surprises. Would certainly do it again. Location is also good. Lisa at the desk is a pro. No problems.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Karsten Hotel; City: Kewaunee Wisconsin; Review: This hotel is 100 years + and should be appreciated for that, ghosts and all. The rooms are huge, the plumbing modern yet it still maintains that authentic historic feel and décor. If you want new, don't stay here. If you want an unique experience with possible paranormal extras thrown in this is the place. Also, you must have a drink the bar to soak up the ambiance!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Bartlesville; City: Bartlesville Oklahoma; Review: Clean hotel with all necessary amenities. Staff was extraordinary, professional and helpful. Room was clean with excellent bedding and good Wi-Fi. EVERYTHING worked, met or exceeded expectations. If you enjoy a problem free stay, I recommend this hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Country Inn Suites by Radisson La Crosse WI; City: La Crosse Wisconsin; Review: Friendly and efficient service. Good bedding and internet. Good price. Newly renovated. Good breakfast.

Title: Ibis Reims Tinqueux; City: Tinqueux Reims Marne Grand Est; Review: Whenever I go on holiday to the south of France or Italy I always begin and end my trip at this hotel. It is easy to access from the motorway, the staff are pleasant and the availability of a Courtepaille on site is a great advantage. It wouldn't be a holiday without a visit to Tinqueux.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Ibis Dijon Centre Clemenceau; City: Dijon Cote d Or Bourgogne Franche Comte; Review: In general this hotel is fine. At breakfast there were two coach parties of tourists who filled the dining-room and cleared the food counter. I was told that I could take my breakfast to the bar. Unfortunately there was no food on the counter, and the staff were busy clearing tables and working the coffee machine for the guests. I returned an hour later when the food had been re-stocked. By this time there was no milk in the coffee machine. This was the second time I had stayed in the hotel. On the previous occasion the coffee machines didn't work and I was offered extra fruit juice.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Dijon Sud; City: Perrigny les Dijon Dijon Cote d Or Bourgogne Franche Comte; Review: This is the third Ibis I have stayed in in the Dijon Area and I would say that it is currently the best value for money. The staff are pleasant, the location good for visits into the city or out to the villages en route to Beaune. Restaurant facilities are good, but there are a large varieties of places to eat close by. When I return to Dijon I shall be booking there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Calais Tunnel Sous la Manche; City: Coquelles Pas de Calais Hauts de France; Review: Never miss ending a holiday without a visit to this hotel. Having two small dogs the last day of the the holiday always starts with a visit to the vet, then on to Carrefour for the wine and a rest before dinner. Good to get back to BBC 1 and 2, although it makes you wish you weregoing south again. Great service in hotel and restaurant and ideal for location next to Channel Tunnel. The only disappointment to me is that a stay here means that the holiday is nearly over.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Calais Tunnel Sous la Manche; City: Coquelles Pas de Calais Hauts de France; Review: Always have the last night of my holiday here. It is like trying to cling on to Europe a little longer. Always have dinner and breakfast there too. Staff friendly and helpful. Would recommend anyone to get an Accor Card.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Calais Tunnel Sous la Manche; City: Coquelles Pas de Calais Hauts de France; Review: Stayed 2 nights in June, but always use this holiday whenever I go to the continent in the car. Always enjoy my stay and that includes the meals...both the breakfasts and the dinner in the restaurant. This is a dog friendly hotel and with 2 nights it gives me the opportunity to take my dog to the vet and then enjoy the sites around and to buy wine at the hypermarket across the road.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Generic MC0065 Accessory Organizer for Laptop Computer PC - Non-Retail Packaging - Blue; Brand: Generic; Review: I used this to read at night, well tried to. I plugged it into my computer and left it in to read and not keep anyone up with the lamp on my desk. It did not last 8 hours and when I contacted the manufacturer all I got was a sorry. Do not make the mistake I did, pay the extra few bucks and get a better quality light. Seriously, even if you only plan on using uit a few times, there is a good chance it will not work.

Title: Vagabond Inn Executive Sacramento Old Town; City: Sacramento California; Review: Me and my husband spent two nights in Sacramento on our way to Santa Rosa. The location is perfect as it is very close to the historic old town and only a 10-15 min walk to the state capitol. The outside of the building may not be perfect but it really was not as bad as some people have suggested. The rooms were clean, beds comfortable and it had additional facilities such as a microwave and fridge in the rooms. It also had a pool and gym room. The staff were very polite and welcoming offering us tips and advice on where to go for dinner. There was also internet available (though it was a little slow, it's still useful) The complimentary breakfast was diverse and well stocked with cereals, freshly made waffles, juices, coffee, fruit and toast. Which got us ready for a day of exploring. The rates are very reasonable and considering you could end up spending double your money at another large chain hotel down the road just to get the same service...this was a bargain. Fair enough, the rooms are not completely sound-proof, that did not seem to bother us as much as other people....if it is that much of a problem i say 'suck it up' and either go waste your money on an overblown big chain hotel or buy some earplugs and get on with it!! I would definitely stay here again...no quibbles!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Columbus Motor Inn; City: San Francisco California; Review: Stayed in this little motel for four nights while in San Fran. Must admit, when i saw the website I was a little dubious, but it really does not do this place justice. The reception staff were polite, friendly and very helpful. Offering advice on where to go, what to do and where to eat (Pat's Cafe around the corner serves fantastic breakfasts at a great price!) They also booked our shuttle back to the airport and held onto our bags for us while we mooched around the city on our last day. It is only a 5 min walk to the sea front and very close to fisherman's wharf, there is also a tram and bus line on the doorstep. Also, the free parking is really helpful! The rooms were clean and functional, with coffee facilities, ice machine, wifi, flat screen television, a very useful safe and comfortable beds. The decor is not 'boutique' but that does not matter, it is the perfect base to start exploring this wonderfully diverse city....who cares if it doesn't have twin headed showers and fireplaces for crying out loud! Who goes there to stay in their room all day. I would certainly come back here again and the price is so right....we went out of season and got the rooms at a ridiculously low price. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yosemite View Lodge; City: El Portal California; Review: Me and my husband booked this hotel because of it's location and the fact that the hotels within the park were pricey and full to capacity. You are definitely paying a premium for the rooms here because of the location and $175 per night for a very average room is not good enough. The carpet was worn, bathroom floor tiles cracked and the kitchenette had definitely seen better days. Though it is nice to have the facility to cook and keep your food in the fridge. I know you are not staying holed up in your hotel room when visiting this beautiful park, but having a clean and quiet place to stay is important. We happened to get a room above where the cleaners work and man do they love their loud and repetitive music! It went on until about midnight and then by 5.30 -6 am the noise began as they started work. I was also a little concerned as we left our room one day to come back to it with the sliding door unlocked and slightly open!! (I had locked it before we left.) Also the staff were a little edgy and were not chatty or polite....they just did the minimum to get you checked in. I'm sure that if you pay more money for a premium room you will have a nicer overall experience....but surely, no matter what your budget, they should be providing secure and clean rooms with no noise pollution. I would not come here again...and beware the restaurant....basic and expensive...after all you are stuck there in the middle of nowhere....bring your own food.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: 1859 Historic National Hotel; City: Jamestown California; Review: Me and my husband stopped off overnight in Jamestown because it looked like such a lovely little place. This hotel is in the old town and has a lot of character and charm. The rooms were clean and the bathroom had a twin shower-head which was a nice gimmick...but a gimmick none the less. The bed was a little soft..but that is just me being picky, as is the lack of a television, but heck, who needs a TV all of the time! This was the old west after all. :) The staff were friendly and the breakfast was nice, with fruit, yoghurt, cereal and french toast which was lovely! The coffee served in hall early in the morning was spoilt by only having the choice of powdered creamer....not nice! The staff were very chatty and pleasant and overall it was a good experience. My only quibble is that you are paying a premium for the 'charm' and 'character' factor, which was nice, but I did not think it was worth the $160 we paid for one night. I would recommend this as a one/two nighter romantic break, but not for a long time or for Yosemite....which is quite a drive away. Overall lovely little place...; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sutter Creek Inn; City: Sutter Creek Amador County California; Review: We decided to stay the night in Sutter Creek after meandering through the little shops in the old town and wanting a little pit stop. We decided to go for one of the cheaper rooms called the east room, which was clean, had a nice bed and the en-suit was simple (a little 60's looking but functional) But this was only $90 so you really cannot complain. (watch out for the thigh high bedposts which left me and my husband with some bruises!) The staff were pleasant and very welcoming letting us look around before we booked the room. They had lemonade and cookies in the kitchen, which you could help yourself to, a spectacular garden with hammocks and little places to sit and relax. In the evening we sat in the living room and picked out some books to read and played scrabble...which was lovely (remember, no TV's here...in the cheaper rooms anyway) The breakfast was lovely, with pancakes, coffee, scrambled egg, sausage and fruit. This was a lovely little pit stop and I would recommend the steakhouse on the main street too.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Garden Inn; City: Santa Rosa Sonoma County California; Review: This motel was the perfect base for me and my husband to explore Sonoma, Napa and Calitstoga. The rates were allright, average Best Western prices really, and we stayed out of season which made it a little cheaper. The room was clean, with a microwave and fridge...television was a little old but did the job...the bathroom was functional but a little outdated and compact. Really this motel hit the average mark spot on. The walls are thin and we could pretty much hear everything our neighbours did...including snoring!! But this did not affect our sleeping at all. The pool area and gardens are lovely and well maintained and the little cafe on the grounds serves up a lovely fresh and hearty breakfast...to get you ready for some wine tasting! Average but pretty good for a Best Western....I would try to book online to get the best price.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Saving Mr. Banks; Brand: Emma Thompson; Review: I loved this story and the way they presented it. At first my bf didn't know if he wanted to rent it but I insisted and he was so glad afterward. Oh course Tom Hanks was good but Emma and the way she played her character was amazing.

Title: SEACHOICE 79471 Beverage Holder with Thermal Insulator with Chrome Plated Brass; Brand: SEACHOICE; Review: I bought this for a tractor. The slot for the mug handle is on the front so the mug handle must be between the drink holder and the the frame of the front end loader. It also will not hold an insulated glass because it is too shallow and the glass tips over. It works fine for cans. I am not sure how sturdy the plastic clip will be but time will tell.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Harken Hoister 7802B 4 Point Hoister System; Brand: Harken Hoister; Review: Built to Harken standards. It took a little getting use to because I had to install it on a slopped roof in a boathouse, but it is solid and gets the kayaks out of the way.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1); Author: Kristin Cashore; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: ** spoiler alert ** Graceling has been on my list for some time, and I was very excited to finally get my hands on it. I'd only ever heard good things about it, and for good reason. The story has a catching pace, moving things along but not going so fast you get whiplash. There was only one part in the middle that struck me, and that was the transition into the first confrontation of the enemy. It happened so abruptly that for a couple pages I legitimately thought someone was dreaming. One moment they were walking through the woods, the next: BAM, here we are! Nevertheless I got over my bamboozlement quickly and thoroughly enjoyed the story. I loved the characters; I thought they were well developed with a good mix of humor marbled into the severity of the storyline. What amuses me, though, is how Katsa is dead set on 1) not marrying, yet is all but wife to Po, and 2) never having children, and yet behaves little short as such to Bitterblue on their journey across the country. It's understandable, to an extent, because for her entire life she'd been under the command of her king, and only now has she taken hold of her own will. She's reluctant to 'give up her freedom' to another person in the form of marriage (though is pretty willing to take the benefits). To me that seems like more of a commitment problem than a liberty problem. But that's just me and my own beliefs, nothing more. I still enjoyed the adventure as a whole, and the ending, quite honestly, blindsided me completely. I was not expecting that to happen, but it makes total sense that it would, and the conclusion made me sigh. I really was sorry to have it over, but Kristin Cashore wrapped it up well and I'm very much looking forward to reading her next story.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tell the Wolves I'm Home; Author: Carol Rifka Brunt; Genres: history, young-adult, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: ** spoiler alert ** First off, this book is not in my usual genre, but it sounded interesting and thought I'd give it a try (that is not why I only have three stars, by the way). Overall, I liked it. The story kept me engaged, and I thought many of the character's thoughts to be realistic. In fact, the more I read about her, the more I thought 'Wow, we're a lot alike, you and I.' Despite all of this, I don't agree with some things in the story, but it is what it is and everybody's got there thing. I was disappointed with all the drinking and smoking they did for fourteen and fifteen/sixteen, but then, it was the eighties (NOT that I was there, but alas). I was taken off guard when this mysterious disease turned out to be AIDS and June's uncle was gay and she was in love with both of them at fourteen. That was all a little weird and the first time I've read such a story. But I must say, when all's said and done, Carol Rifka Brunt wrote beautifully, and even I'll confess the ending relationship between June and Toby was sweet. I was sad to see the painting be restored, and glad that June and Greta were able to become friends again. So, in the end, it was bitter sweet, and I liked it well enough.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Attack on Titan, Vol. 1 (Attack on Titan, #1); Author: Hajime Isayama; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, comics, crime, paranormal, graphic, fantasy, fiction; Review: I've read volumes 1-11 of this series in a measly four days, it was so engaging. It started out when my brother watched the anime and enjoyed it so much he decided to read the manga, I myself was uneasy to the intensity of the blood and gore (I only watched the first episode, but then I thought I'd try the manga - and I'm glad I did! Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama is an action packed dystopian dark fantasy with a plot that grows more complicated with every chapter. The characters are diverse in their personalities and the art is beautiful - especially if you like blood and dismembered limbs. It's not a series for the faint of heart, a concept repeated numerous times within the story. Truly, this is an amazing man-eating Titan apocalypse story that you won't want to miss!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ravenshade (Tales of Alterra, the World that Is #3); Author: C.S. Marks; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: I thought this book, Ravenshade, by C.S. Marks, was a very well done completion of the Elfhunter trilogy. The relationship between the two main antagonists amused me at times, and the interaction of the characters is very entertaining! It is a wee bit darker than the previous two, but in no way gruesomely so, and there is lighthearted and sarcastic humor splashed all throughout that'll tickle you. The ending is somewhat surprising, and causes you to think, even after you've closed the back cover. Truly, C.S. Marks has done an outstanding job and I'm glad I took the time to read it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Thief (The Queen's Thief, #1); Author: Megan Whalen Turner; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, romance, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I picked this jewel up at a library book sale one day, thinking it might be interesting. Little did I know what I was getting into! Every time I read this (and it's been several, by now) I can't help but admire how Megan Whalen Turner tells the story with such an ease that takes you along page by page. It's one of those, "Oh, just one more chapter" kinds of stories, and ten chapters later you realize it's one in the morning. I couldn't bring myself to put it down (yet again). A good story is a good story no matter how many times you read it. The narrative itself is written in first person (which, I unreservedly admit, isn't my personal favorite POV) but even so I enjoyed it. We read from Gen's point of view, and even though we're privy to his thoughts, we still don't get the full scope of what's going on until the end. We're still able to learn about Gen bit by bit throughout as the event progress, and I liked that. The story flows smoothly from one part to the next in a style I can appreciate as both a reader and a writer, and you just can't help falling in love with the characters. Ambiades is a total snot, Sophos is adorable, Pol's steadfast devotion is admirable; I found the magus to be a little layered, not especially endearing at first, but once you get to know him he's actually a pretty nice guy. Gen . . . Gen is a piece of work. He admitted himself that his own tongue has gotten him into most of the fixes he'd suffered, and his wit certainly is sharp. He's got a strong will, but not always as selfish as he'd like us all to believe. You can't help but like him. With such a great cast of characters on a quest that turns into a bit more than any of them bargained for, The Thief is a tale well worth the read time and time again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Queen of Attolia (The Queen's Thief, #2); Author: Megan Whalen Turner; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Amazing! Incredible! As riveting as everyone says it is! Too enthusiastic? Not sorry, it was just that good . . . even this second time around. Instead of just Eugenides's point of view, we get to see the events scroll out from the perspective of several different characters this time, giving more depth to both the story and the cast - as a whole as well as individuals. We get to see how Eugenides, our indelible thief, gets himself in a nasty pickle (again), unwittingly drags four countries into war, struggles with his fears, and masterminds a solution that rocks the world (at least that's how it felt. I'm glad no one was watching me as I read the last few chapters - talk about embarrassing. But that's a sign of good story telling, when the reader gets so invested in the people and events). I really appreciated the strategy and politics involved as Megan Whalen Turner navigated a three/fourish-way war, it kept me thoroughly engaged as both a reader and writer, who is always seeking to learn how to improve my own craft. This is a great sequel, and I am very excited to begin the next installment.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The King of Attolia (The Queen's Thief, #3); Author: Megan Whalen Turner; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: This story is beautiful. It's so unbelievably full from page one to the very last word, and Megan Whalen Turnernever ceases to amaze me with her ability to craft such a knotwork of events that seem individual at first, but then all culminate into one big episode with so many layers that I had to sit back and just marvel at her strategy. Told from (largely, but not wholly) Costis's point of view, we see what he sees and we know what he knows and we understand things the way he understands them - which isn't always the way they are, which is a huge portion of the intrigue of this third volume. The characters are as loveable (and hateable) as always, with plenty of wit and comedy sprinkled throughout, which mostly originates from Eugenides, and yet it doesn't detract at all from the real depth of these people. It actually highlights and accentuates just how real they are. I loved this book from beginning to end.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Isle of Swords (Isle of Swords, #1); Author: Wayne Thomas Batson; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I have yet to come across a book by Wayne Thomas Batson that I didn't consume with rapt obsession. One might call it sad, but he writes in such a way that snatches your attention from the get-go, and doesn't let up until the last page. Isle of Swords is a pirate adventure that expresses the cruelty of evil, psychotic, vengeful men without the cruder ways, and the 'good guys' were just so much fun to be around. I really loved the fact that Declan Ross is Scottish, and reading their speech in a Scottish accent is fun. I also liked Cat, who didn't let the truth turn him astray. I would recommend these to any reader, and the message of Divine providence guiding the course of both destiny and heart is clearly visible to any with an eye to see it. This is yet another aspect of Batson's work that makes me love it oh, so much!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hood (King Raven, #1); Author: Stephen R. Lawhead; Genres: history, young-adult, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: It's clear to see why Stephen R. Lawhead is one of the 'big names', his writing is gorgeous. I found this new take on the Robin Hood legend refreshing and extremely engaging . . . even this second time around. In this version, it shows that Robin (Rhi Bran) is no Boy Scout, with a brigand's attitude and horrible fear of becoming his father, but he makes an absolutely enchanting, if not frightening, phantom in the forests of the Marches and a fear gnawing in the nightmares of his enemies. I loved this story, with characters you love and just as many you want slap, and the ending- Oh! the ending! It was masterfully done. Hood is a fantastic tale and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a well crafted fiction.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Scarlet (King Raven, #2); Author: Stephen R. Lawhead; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Ohhh . . . This was such a good story! Stephen R. Lawhead is wicked good at this, wrapping you up snug as a bug in his telling. Depending on how emotionally pliant you are, it's a veritable roller coaster ride as the characters you've come to know and love struggle on against the heinous injustices of greedy- Yeah, I don't like them Ffreincs. Scarlet is masterfully told in multiple POVs that gives you a good understanding of the speaker's mind as the story unfolds, and I really enjoyed it. This was a great second installment of the King Raven Trilogy; it's a can't not ready, for certain.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tuck (King Raven, #3); Author: Stephen R. Lawhead; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Absolutely phenomenal, truly. Tuck was a great finish to a great trilogy, and Stephen R. Lawhead really surprises you at the end. All the while you're anticipating the conclusion to go one way, and turns out it's totally different! I have read these before, but it was so long ago that I had forgotten many of the details, so it was like reading it for the first time again, and I realize anew why I chose these for my home library! It was magnificently done, and were I a more emotionally inclined person, I may have just cried at that one part. There's joy, sorrow, indignation, mounds of injustice, and bit of redemption in this finale, and the entire trilogy is so worth reading!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Happenstance Found (The Books of Umber, #1); Author: P.W. Catanese; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: ** spoiler alert ** First things first, I'm going to warn you that there will probably be spoilers in here, so if you're picky about that like I am, go no further! I like getting blindsided by surprises, too. Now, since this is a series, I decided to just do the whole trilogy at once after getting the whole story instead of piece by piece. It's the first books/story I've read in a long while, what with writing and domestic stuff, and I always miss that insatiable desire to find out what happens next when in the grips of a good story. I wasn't disappointed. Happenstance Found begins right off the bat with where Happenstance joins the story, completely amnesic, and I loved that. To be completely honest, my writer's mind was already picking up details I liked and storing them away - and that's oftentimes the genesis of other stories. This happened a lot throughout the ensuing chapters, even to the well rounded ending. It was a neatly wrapped package answering the begging question throughout the book and setting the stage for the sequels, which I thought was well done and a feat worth commending. The characters were awesome and the descriptions easily visualized, whether it be an action scene, body language, or setting, and it was a theme that continued. It got better in Dragon Games as we began to uncover more answers about Happenstance's species (or kind, or whatever). The only 'meh' I had was the introduction of a young man who randomly appeared looking for his patents who happened to be the recluses in Petroportus that died in the first book. He tells his life's story, about a younger brother named Julian who was killed by a white haired man, ultimately resulting in his family falling apart. This is where we learn about the origin of Happenstance, that he used to be a boy named Julian Penny, was drowned by a Meddler, and turned into one. While it was all set up, it seemed rather sudden and maybe a little random at the time, so early in the book. And afterwards we never see this young man again and only hear him mentioned once or twice by the end. It wasn't poor storytelling, just my own personal thought, and that was the only beef because it got very engaging afterwards. Again, it ended well on a dramatic note that made me very glad I had the next one waiting right there. Of course, the endings are always what determines if I'd want to read again and own a book or series, and The End of Time made it a good one. From the beginning we watch Happenstance's powers develop, but they're just not burgeoning, which we learn from Willy Nilly that it's because of his raw emotions and attachments to the people around him. Now that the world is falling apart around them (in ways I only half predicted and was still left surprised) there is only one thing Happenstance feels can be done in order to become; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Sword in the Stars (Dark Sea Annals, #1); Author: Wayne Thomas Batson; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: Mr. Batson has done it again. The Sword in the Stars is the exciting beginning to the Dark Sea Annals series, telling the story of a man struggling with a dark and bloody past as he seeks the ultimate forgiveness while trying his hardest to resist both love and a crippling addiction. All this while devastating war threatens the country. This story is quite a bit darker than previous ones I've read by Mr. Batson, but it's wasn't excessive, and there was humor subtle and obvious that proves even in the darkest of times there's an opportunity to laugh. It kept me unhealthily enthralled until the very last page, and I can hardly wait for the next one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness (The Wingfeather Saga, #1); Author: Andrew Peterson; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: This book is clever and quirky, a really fun read. I wasn't too awful certain for a little while, but the story did pick up to being truly good, and I am very excited about the nest stage. Peet the Sock Man is my favorite, and it may be because of the mystery that surrounds him, or the fact that he always turns up around the 'Iggifeather, Wingibys'. Oh, and you can't not like them toothy cows. There's also some really great poetry that I enjoyed very much.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Dragon Business; Author: Kevin J. Anderson; Genres: comics, paranormal, graphic, fantasy, fiction; Review: What fun! I read the synopsis of this story, that it was about con artists slaying false dragons, and thought it such an unique twist on the usual adventure trope that I knew I had to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. Anderson crafted this tale wonderfully, formatting it so that King Cullin is telling his sheltered son a grandiose tale of his past shenanigans in order to learn him up on the way the real world works. It follows a group of con men who prey upon the simple-minded, gullible, and superstitious peoples of the (many) kingdoms, in a world where con artists, swindlers, and money grubbers abound. It paints a fantastical rendition of the world we live in today. And yet, even though our 'dragon-slayers' are making a living rather dishonestly, selling a service nobody needs, you can't help but like them. Reeger is rather crude - in his humor, behavior, and lifestyle - but he's also very good at what he does (the dirty work), a loyal friend, and in a way charming for his preferences of 'latrine refurbishing' to high courtly politics. Sir Dalbry is a victim of his own trade. Swindled out of his inheritance at a young age by a group of con men, he has vowed to avenge his honor for having run away. His current methods are questionable, but even so, he insists on retaining a sense of 'knightly honor and nobility' - to the point where it nearly costs him his life. Cullin is an apt and clever sidekick. Tempted by dreams of starting fresh in the new land across the sea, fantasizing about someday marrying a princess and gaining a kingdom and riches of his own, he serves as Sir Dalbry's squire. Affonyl, the newest member of their band, is a runaway princes who faked her own death by dragon attack in order to escape her fate as a princess. She would much rather study alchemy and gallivant across the country as a person than marry a silver-tongued and sticky-fingered duke as a princess, because as it happens, princesses aren't people. The writing is witty, whimsical, and humorous from the first page to the last. Minstrels' songs go viral, one town's local Renaissance Faire is 'futuristic', newspapers (like the Olden Tymes) are transcribed by monks, purified guano and bone dust are thought the more active ingredients to pain killer than the milk of poppy. On and on, every page is filled with crafty and silly details about life in medieval times that those of us who are more accustomed to the more epic, hard-core fantasy don't usually think about - like hawking seagull guano as a miracle fertilizer. Yet through the ridiculousness are strings of heart that do more than entertain us, they endear us to the characters, who they are and what they're searching for. Sir Dalbry wants to regain his honor, following a code of knightly nobility to a fault that nearly gets him killed. Reeger wants to raise enough money to establish his own tavern. Cullin; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sir Dalton and the Shadow Heart (The Knights of Arrethtrae, #3); Author: Chuck Black; Genres: history, young-adult, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Sir Dalton and the Shadow Heart was so far my favorite over the previous two. Chuck Black opened up with a great introduction to the story with immediate action, then back tracked to explain how we got there. I thought the story very engaging, and his vocabulary and wording seemed to improve with this third installment. I was very pleased, and the ending had piqued my enthusiasm for the next by merging them together. The tale of a half hearted knight experiencing the dangers of doubt, only to be raised from the depths of despair to the heights of a true fanatic is one that ought not be missed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue (The Knights of Arrethtrae, #4); Author: Chuck Black; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: A race against time, and not only with the life of a seeming forbidden love in the balance, but also the lives of the good people under the thumb of bad lords. I thought Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue was a well written tale from the perspective of a young woman struggling with her emotions. Throughout the entire story you're given the idea that she has to choose between saving the Followers from the pits and letting Dalton die, or vise versa, and the struggles of the heart between love and duty are portrayed not too shabbily. There's also a little unexpected twist (or two) that I, myself, never saw coming. If you like running hourglasses, harrowing demons, undercover angels, and a wee bit of romance, I would suggest this story.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Time Keeper; Author: Mitch Albom; Genres: history, young-adult, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I saw this book at a rummage sale and decided to give it ago, the cover design did its job in intriguing me enough to spend the dollar. I was able to eat it up in one afternoon, so its a pretty quick read, and though the style was something I'm not entirely accustomed to, with flipping back and forth amongst the three main characters, I was able to follow the plot. The Time Keeper is an interesting, and perhaps different, look at the origin of Father Time, his power, and influence. It's not a nail-biting, heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat thrillful suspense, but Mr. Albom portrayed the emotions of the characters fairly well and I enjoyed it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: At One's Beast; Author: Rachel Barnard; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, romance; Review: I went into this book and got something I wasn't expecting. I read the first paragraph and loved it, and throughout the story I found various pieces that Rachel Barnard described rather eloquently, but I can't say I was head over heels. The first few chapters were a little rough, in that there was a lot (I thought) that could have been elaborated on to give a better understanding of how things stood. Some more explanation on the significance of the jackal and what the Jackal's Horn is would have been preferable. I will freely, and gladly, admit that it got better as you went along, and the ending was charming. At One's Beast is not a bad story - far from it, I think it has merit - but were I to be totally honest, it could use a wee bit more detail work, especially around setting . . . and maybe a brush through against typos, but that's totally a personal thing. "You are as strong and wily as a jackal in the moonlight." "Never caught, never eaten." - At One's Beast, by Rachel Barnard; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Rain Reign; Author: Ann M. Martin; Genres: children, young-adult, fiction; Review: Rain Reign by Ann M. Martinis not in the genre I typically read, but I thought I'd give it a shot, and fairly enjoyed it. It was a really quick read, and interesting in that it's in the point of view of Rose, who has high-functioning autism. Throughout the entire story you're thinking her father is a jerk, but then he does something by the end that makes you feel sad for the guy. I liked it considerably, and the conclusion is bittersweet, which doesn't happen very often.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Tale Of Timothy Mallard (Riverbank Stories, #2); Author: Stephen R. Lawhead; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: This is a cute little book I discovered just yesterday. It was a super fast read and I really enjoyed it, especially since little Timothy didn't turn sour in the end.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dark Lord of Derkholm (Derkholm, #1); Author: Diana Wynne Jones; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: I just love the way Diana Wynne Jones wrote this story, and the concept was new to me, of a 'fictional world' being exploited by the 'real world'. The characters were great and the conflict was both severe and amusing. There were some great surprises as well and overall just a great story. I enjoyed it immensely.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Year of the Griffin (Derkholm, #2); Author: Diana Wynne Jones; Genres: young-adult, romance, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Oh my goodness, this book was just as fantastic as its predecessor. I absolutely fell in love with it from the first! Diana Wynne Jones has such a fun way of writing that can make you laugh even while understanding the severity of the moment, and the characters are just so great you can't help but love them. Year of the Griffin was wonderfully done and I won't mind reading it over and over and over again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dragon Rider; Author: Cornelia Funke; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: I've wanted to read this story for a while, so why I didn't just grab it off my brother's shelf and read it until now is a mystery, but better late than never! I really enjoyed it to, with all the adventures (and misadventures) that this little group of pilgrims have. Twigleg was my absolute favorite, I loved that little homunculus, even though he had a rocky start, he shown through in the end. It's a great story of loyalty and friendship, of sticking with your decisions through to the end, even if you might get eaten, and realizing that there really just isn't any place like home.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: North! or Be Eaten (The Wingfeather Saga, #2); Author: Andrew Peterson; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Ah! Andrew Peterson has struck again with North! or Be Eaten. In a word: Delicious. In two: Positively Delightful. The misadventures of Janner Wingfeather snowball in this second installment, going from merely hiding in weapons storage (the first book) to supping with thieves and brigands, paring swords in a Fork! Factory!, and raiding the den of a most dreadful Bomnuble! (It also deals with the frustrations of a destiny dropped upon you and the guilt of failure). I could hardly put it down, it was so fage plipping- page flipping AMAZING. And then Peet- Oh, Peet! We finally get to know how he got his talon hands and white hair - and that's not even the best part! I'm so glad I was able to get the third one so quickly. Move aside, Dang Fangs, I'm sinking my teeth in first.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Monster in the Hollows (The Wingfeather Saga, #3); Author: Andrew Peterson; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: It did not take me long to devour this fantastic piece of literature. The pacing was smooth, any by the end you're left gasping - winded and teary eyed. Well, at least I was. We finally get to learn more about the Wingfeather (and Podo's) history, including what happened to Esben and Artham after the fall of their home. It was beautiful, and the whole series holds great depth, so it can be thoroughly enjoyed by all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Warden and the Wolf King (The Wingfeather Saga #4); Author: Andrew Peterson; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: To begin, I'd like to say that I hardly know where to begin. Andrew Peterson has really taken us on an incredible ride through these four beautiful novels about the struggles of being on the run and the value of family. There's a quote on the back cover of The Warden and the Wolf King(the one I have, anyway) from and N.D. Wilson that (I'm paraphrasing here) warns you to prepare your heart to be stirred by the bittersweet and sweeping ending. "Oh dear," was my response to that, because over the last three books I have become quite attached to the characters and the story as a whole, Peterson's imagery is vivid and as a reader and fellow writer I can really appreciate his way with words. I'd been waiting a long time for this book (it felt like a long time, anyway) and to have that kind of warning frightens you, quite honestly, but in a good way, because it means he captures your heart. And let me tell you, I was snagged and snagged good. I had to binge read part four because there was no way in Skree was I putting it down. The fact that everyone else was fast asleep was to my favor, because I was shedding tears by the end. I am a pretty stone hearted person (sound bad, I know, but I don't get moved much like that) but I was truly swept by this, let me tell you. I was shocked that he actually did that. They never do that! It was beautiful, and while the ending was conclusive, it also left that 'there's more to come in these people's lives, the story goes on' kind of vibe . . . which didn't help the heart rending "It's OVER!" agony that good tales always leave you with. I just loved the story, if you haven't noticed already, and would read it all again in a heartbeat.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Warm Bodies (Warm Bodies, #1); Author: Isaac Marion; Genres: young-adult, romance, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: This was the first zombie book I have ever read, and it will probably be my last, for while the rest of the world has fallen head over heels for this fad of the undead (just like they did vampires not too long ago) I never found myself into it. I thought I'd give Warm Bodies a try because, while it encompasses the genres I don't usually read, that of paranormal/dystopian and romance, I enjoyed the movie. It was funny and (I confess) kind of sweet. So, I read the book. It wasn't my best choice, but you can't pick a winner every time. As usual, they weren't the same. Oddly enough, I liked the movie better. The whole concept of Warm Bodies is different than the typical idea, which in and of itself is no bad thing; in fact, it's the very thing we writers strive for. This is only my personal opinion, and while there were many parts that I didn't especially like, there were others that I did. There was this one in particular that I found to be quite amusing: I would like my life to be made into a movie so I could cut to a montage. A quick sequence of shots set to some trite pop song would be much easier to endure than the two grueling hours the girls spend trying to convert me, to change me back into what's widely considered human. - R (Warm Bodies) It was humorous, because that's exactly what they did. The novel was much slower paced in comparison to the motion picture , but that's no big deal, R is a very thoughtful zombie and has a very interesting and creative way of describing things. What bugged me was the prolific use of cussing and misuse of the Lord's name in the dialogue. I recognize that I'm a fairly sheltered person, but when you have the f-bomb three times in a five second conversation, it's a little much. In context I suppose it's understandable, but I still don't believe it's necessary to get your point across. It made the story less enjoyable to read, but idiot that I am I bulled through it anyway to see how it ended (sometimes I think it's a condition). What also I found was that, while in both versions (motion picture and novel) Perry is eaten and his memories are absorbed, the book took it much farther, going on to give Perry a kind of consciousness inside of R, where the two shared conversations and Perry's past experiences. Like his soul still existed with R. As a fictionist I can't say it was bizarre, as that's what we do, but unexpected. Absorbing the memories of people by eating their brains and being privy to the voices of all that ever died and were buried spewing poetry while you're running through the streets is definitely a unique twist. The theory of how the zombies came about was much deeper than I was anticipating as well, that of humanity hitting the rock bottom of depravity; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Sir Quinlan and the Swords of Valor (The Knights of Arrethtrae, #5); Author: Chuck Black; Genres: history, young-adult, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: For some inexplicable reason, I took a hiatus from this serious some time ago, and for the life of me I can't remember why. Sir Quinlan was engaging, and it never hurts to have a touch of humor. Laughter is a balm to the soul just as much as a fact of reality. The story follows Quinlan, formerly known as Twitch (for the nervous tic in his cheek) as he struggles first for purpose in an easy life, then uncertainty when going gets tough. Afterwards he shoulders his guilt for some time, but finally breaks through the self pity to take on his true calling. (I can't tell if this is a spoiler or not, because we all know it had to happen, otherwise the story would have fizzled out like a balloon with a hole) And worst of all, he must bear up under the betrayal of one he once called brother. The way it was written is also a little different than what I'm accustomed to, both in reading and writing. We skip over large amounts of time with just a brief overview of what's going on. I can certainly understand the value in that, but over the nine months of training, I might have liked to see Quinlan get his butt handed to him at least once, maybe when he first starts. Just a personal preference (I can be mean that way, and I've been told that on multiple occasions) However, the way he acted while confronting those 'mighty men' of the former Swords of Valor was pretty neat. They all remember him as a skimpy, half-witted, blunder, but now he shows up all epic and awesome with new skills and a BEARD. Coolness levels just skyrocketed. By the end it all culminates into a grand battle and these warriors few must face off against some of the strongest bad guys yet as the antagonist of evilness mounts upon his ultimate ends. Such high stakes can't be made without high cost, and when the heat turns up, not everyone can walk out alive. As usual, I haven't yet been disappointed with a single story in this series. Chuck Black knows how to tell a grand story with thrill, danger, a touch of romance, impending doom, and valiant bravery all while expressing solid Biblical truths that we can apply even to our own lives in the real world. The battle here is not so different from that which rages on in Arrethtrae, and whether our swords are made out of steel or truth, the courage needed to face the enemy all comes from the same place - the Prince, Jesus Christ!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sir Rowan and the Camerian Conquest (The Knights of Arrethtrae, #6); Author: Chuck Black; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Sir Rowan and the Camerian Conquest is certainly a series finale, that I will say, and later on in the story the pace did pick up a little, but I must confess it felt a little slow in the beginning. Not all great adventures begin with edge-of-your-seat, dramatic action, but I certainly might have finished it sooner had the story been more gripping. (But then again, that may be just me and my addiction to being riveted) The story follows the life of young Rowan, a lowly street urchin who taken in and fostered by a knight of the Prince, learns swordcraft, and grows up to be a very handsome and very skilled young man. (It did cross my mind to wonder why they always had to be so dashingly handsome and the women they fall in love with so gob-smackinly beautiful. We're not all of us rose-cut diamonds, you know, but can still fall in love and serve our Prince just as effectively.) But anyway, his heart isn't really in for service to the King, but finds more pleasure in fighting in tournaments and the fame that comes along with a solid win streak. And we all know how popularity and getting on a high pedestal just leads to corruption and a hard fall. Rowan gets kidnapped for a ransom, but the people he once had so much trust in abandon him for their own selfish gains and leaves him to rot in a cave somewhere, where the hardships give him a reality check and bring him back to the ways of the Prince. This is when he gets rescued by a beautiful young widow, another Follower, who then nurses him back to health. This is the slower part of the story, but I do have to say I admire Chuck Black's ability to skip through time so swiftly and fluidly. As a writer I find that difficult and I hope to obtain that power someday, and he still developed the characters well enough, although unfortunately I didn't find my heart broken when the hammer of evil struck tragedy on the anvil of strife. In my own mind, I think a little more mental and emotional struggle with the crap Rowan has to deal with later on might have been a wee bit more realistic. But then Mr. Black had to go and throw that twist in the end, concerning a brotherhood and an ancient prophecy. Oh, I liked that part. Two men bonded by both blood and loyalty in service to their King to the last, standing against the knight of darkness himself, and the ending wasn't something you see every day. I wasn't expecting that. Bitter-sweet, I think they call it. All in all, The Knights of Arrethtrae is a great series that serves two purposes in providing people with a grand adventure all across the map all the while giving us examples of living well for our Prince. No matter the hardships and challenges these men and women faced, with the help and strength of the Prince, they; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rurouni Kenshin, Vol. 1: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story (Rurouni Kenshin, #1); Author: Nobuhiro Watsuki; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, comics, crime, paranormal, graphic, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: This is actually for the entire series, 1 - 28. I find graphic novels/ manga very interesting, because although the story is written mostly in pictures and dialogue, there's still the same amount of work that goes into them, and I admire the artists their skill. Rurouni Kenshin, Vol. 1 is the first series I've read by Nobuhiro Watsuki, and I enjoyed it very much. The characters are great and addicting to read. The story follows a certain wanderer rurouni as he comes into a certain town and meets a certain young lady who teaches swordsmanship. We very quickly learn that this wander is actually a legendary hitokiri from the war ten years ago. His name is Himura Kenshin. Because of Himura's past he and his growing band of friends are repeatedly confronted by enemies who either want to prove they're stronger than him or want revenge for all the crimes he'd committed during the war. However, being a legendary swordsman of incredible skill in an ancient style, Himura is able to defeat each one that comes his way. This isn't the only drive of the story, though. Himura, weighed down by guilt for all the deaths he had caused, holds fast to a vow never to kill again, even wielding a sword with a reversed blade, known as sakabato. His inner turmoil reaches a crescendo when he is faced with an enemy from his past who is twisted by hatred and obsession, and we have to see if Himura can rise above the stain of what he'd done and move forward or crumble beneath the weight of culpability and his enemy's warped sense of justice. There's a whole lot more to the story than this, but if I were to try and explain in all, I would be here all day. The story has quite a bit of depth, and even though some of the characters were sometimes pretty wild (as is common and expected in manga) I found it interesting the author's clever explanations to make them more realistic. Over the course of these 28 volumes, I became largely invested in the characters and story. It's full of moments both intense and hilarious, and when it ended, I wasn't quite ready for it to be over. But that just means it was done well. Nobuhiro Watsuki ended it quite well, too, I thought. He pulled through with that happy ending he promised, even with all the shock and tragedy. It's definitely something I would read again, and more like as not with just as much if not more enthusiasm as the first time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: tactics, Volume 1; Author: Sakura Kinoshita; Genres: history, fiction, young-adult, thriller, comics, crime, paranormal, graphic, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: A fun series, to be sure, with lots of humor mixed in with a growing severity as the plot thickens. The art is pretty good and the story is interesting. My only lament is that the English translation was never finished (as far as my knowledge goes) Still, it's no excuse not to read what is available, as you can still enjoy the characters and 'episodes' that make up these volumes.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Daughter of the Drow (Starlight & Shadows #1); Author: Elaine Cunningham; Genres: paranormal, romance, fantasy, fiction; Review: To begin with and as a heads up, it took me several months to read through this book, due to work and other interests, so it is not all fresh and warm in my mind. Nevertheless, the basic plot of the story follows a young elf, Liriel, seeking adventure and a way to carry her innate magical powers into places where such things are impossible. She is pursued by enemies who are such by various reasons. One person she meets is a young human named Fyodor, and as the story progresses, their divided storylines merge together as they form an alliance to achieve a singular goal: to obtain a magical relic that passes between hands more times than a basket of grandma's dinner rolls. From the very beginning I had the feeling of being lost, like there was a book or series I was supposed to have read beforehand that would have given me a more in depth description about various places, people, and history. Basics were touched upon, but I had the sense that I was supposed to have already known the details. Liriel is a person born and raised in darkness, deceit, and debauchery with the prideful haughtiness and devotion to their spider goddess of chaos shared by every other female in the underground city of Menzoberranzan. However, she also has a more open side that lets her develop an alliance with a shape shifting dragon, who has little purpose except in the last chapter, as well as one of her teachers, a master in battle magic who's never actually used it until his encounter with the main antagonist of this first volume. Liriel, as she travels with Fyodor, is introduced to the world of 'friendship', 'trust', and 'hope', which are mindblowing concepts to her, and there is a promise of a growing relationship between them no doubt to be seen in the following two installments. The ending, to me, seemed a little anticlimactic, as well. I felt there was little build up, though that could very well have been my lethargy in getting there. We knew little and nothing of the 'good' guys we just met, other than Liriel and Fyodor, and it all came together so swiftly and smoothly that I, at least, found myself at the end with an "Oh. Well, I guess that's it, then." The last page or so details the introduction to the next stage in the story, which may very well be very good, but I discovered I was more glad to be at the end than impatiently anticipating the next book. The ending held little draw for me, but that's not to say the writing itself was bad. Cunningham does have a way of words that I, as a writer, could take from. I wish I could be more concrete and eloquent in my opinion of Daughter of the Drow, but the most definite thing I can say is that it wasn't the best book I ever read. I didn't really like it, and I have no desire to continue, which is; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King (The Guardians, #1); Author: William Joyce; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: It's been a long time since I've read 'children's' books, but I have been so fascinated by William Joyce's world and take on these symbols that I had to read this series, and it's actually quite good. It's full of fun and mystery, and at times rather dark, which adds a sense of realism. The Nightmare King isn't a villain easily dealt with. What I really enjoyed about Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King was the origin of our beloved St. Nick. He wasn't always a rosy cheeked, jolly old toy maker, but a ruffian and master swordsman. I found this idea fresh and interesting. Bad though he may have began, however, one fateful day Nicholas begins to discover a heart and truth about himself he'd never been aware of before. It's a great read; imaginative, adventurous, and a boatload of fun! Not to mention that the illustrations are amazing (as always, when Mr. Joyce wields the pencil). They help in picturing the fantastic and beautiful world these characters live in, one in which I could definitely revisit.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: E. Aster Bunnymund and the Warrior Eggs at the Earth's Core! (Guardians of Childhood Book #2); Author: William Joyce; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: It's been a long time since I've read 'children's' books, but I have been so fascinated by William Joyce's world and take on these symbols that I had to read this series, and it's actually quite good. It's full of fun and mystery, and at times rather dark, which adds a sense of realism. The Nightmare King isn't a villain easily dealt with. It's never really dealt in detail how the Easter bunny came into being, and I found how E. Aster Bunnymund and the Warrior Eggs at the Earth's Core depicted him very interesting. For an ancient creature, E. Aster has two passions: chocolate and eggs. If it doesn't pertain to both or either of these things, than it clearly isn't worth bothering with. This obsession as well as his personality born from it is what causes a lot of the friction that occurs between him and Nicholas St. North (although they are able to work around it for the greater good and saving the children and Nightlight from the clutches of Pitch). I enjoyed this second installment as much as the first and still find this creative a quirky world worth visiting.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Toothiana: Queen of the Tooth Fairy Armies (The Guardians, #3); Author: William Joyce; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: It's been a long time since I've read 'children's' books, but I have been so fascinated by William Joyce's world and take on these symbols that I had to read this series, and it's actually quite good. It's full of fun and mystery, and at times rather dark, which adds a sense of realism. The Nightmare King isn't a villain easily dealt with. This third installment, Toothiana: Queen of the Tooth Fairy Armies, is a step above the previous two in intensity, as the stakes get higher and the Guardians begin to lose themselves in their struggle against Pitch. I thought the origin of the toothfairy a unique and tragic tale, and her character is great! A warrior with a mother's heart, through and through. I couldn't put this one down easily, and now I can hardly wait to crack open the next book to find out what happens. Where did Katherine go? What about this being, Mother Nature? How is this story going to end?! Wonderfully told, I'm very excited.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Sandman and the War of Dreams (The Guardians, #4); Author: William Joyce; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: It's been a long time since I've read 'children's' books, but I have been so fascinated by William Joyce's world and take on these symbols that I had to read this series, and it's actually quite good. It's full of fun and mystery, and at times rather dark, which adds a sense of realism. The Nightmare King isn't a villain easily dealt with. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, the Sandman has to come in and make it awesome. At the end of the last book, Katherine is kidnapped, and now the Guardians must begin a furious operation to rescue her. Pitch's power is growing, and in order to contend with him, the Guardians, too, need to grow. Not everything can stay the same. But how much will they need to change? This question isn't completely answered in The Sandman and the War of Dreams. I was under the false impression that this was the last book in the series until I reached the end and found out it wasn't. Pitch is still lurking in the shadows of the light cast by the dawning of a new Age. I am very eager to find out how the Guardians will rise to the challenge. The characters are great and the story is irresistibly engaging, getting better with each one that passes and the story progresses. Very, very good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Rover (#1); Author: Mel Odom; Genres: paranormal, young-adult, fantasy, fiction; Review: I found this little beauty at a second hand store and thought I'd give it a try. It looked fun, wrapped up in a neat little stand alone novel. Only after reading the last page and prepping for this review did I learn that this was the first in a series, but that just goes to show how well this part of the story wrapped up in the end, and I really enjoyed that. Yes, there are a couple unanswered questions that leave an opening for the following books, but for the most part it was a nice, all in one, and for me it was refreshing having a beginning and an end with no cliffhangers for umpteen sequels. The story follows Wick Lamplighter, a little librarian dweller (which are pretty much hobbits only with a different name, so naturally he's awesome) as he goes on a series of adventures across the ocean and far off lands in a 'post-apocalyptic' world. There's no worry for confusion concerning it, though, because all throughout the story we get details on what happened. The flow of the story was easy to follow and very engaging, I had a hard time putting it down, and Mel Odom has a fine way of ending one chapter in such a way that makes you have to read the next to find out what happened - a fiendishly clever ploy well practiced. I did find a few typos, but unless you're fickle, it didn't disturb the experience at all. As for the characters, very enjoyable. I liked Brandt right off the bat, but Wick is unashamedly my favorite. There's a good mix of severity as well as appropriate humor (namely stressed quips made by Wick). Overall, it's a grand adventure that I thoroughly enjoyed, and if you're a fan of Lord of the Rings and the like, you'll enjoy this one, too.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Destruction of the Books (The Rover #2); Author: Mel Odom; Genres: young-adult, comics, children, paranormal, graphic, fantasy, fiction; Review: A few weeks ago I read The Rover and found it an engaging read, so when I found out there were more I was eager to continue my adventures with Wick and gang. Not necessarily bad but nevertheless to my disappointment, the sequel takes place many, many years later, when Wick has been Grandmagister for ages already. He isn't even the main character in this story, giving way to his apprentice, Juhg, a mainlander dweller 'adopted' by Wick some thirty years ago and brought to the Vault. The opening was enticing for me, the prologue dark and mysterious, but the chapters that followed didn't keep me as enthralled. The narrative was sluggish, going off on explanations to various details that, while they do flesh out the world and history a little bit, unnecessarily interrupted dialogue and confused the conversation some. This happened throughout the book and contributed to why the story felt so slow and didn't catch me. The two detail typos that bugged me the most were, firstly, in relation to Raisho's eyes. Unless I read it wrong, one page described his eyes as brown and a couple pages later said they were blue, then they went back to brown. I could have misread it, though. Secondly (and this happened late in the second half) was when Juhg stood up at one point and a couple paragraphs down he's still holding (unnamed person's) head in his lap. That's hard even if you're four feet tall. These are nitpicky grievances, I'll admit, but as a writer they stood out and bothered me. Also, all throughout the story we get the idea that Wick and Craugh (the wizard only mentioned by name in the first book but is now part of the close group of friends) know something that Juhg doesn't which has very much to do with the destruction of the books. This enemy doesn't show up until the last few pages of the closing chapter, and we've never heard of him before. There was no real buildup for his entrance, either, he just so happens to spring in during the last attack with a history involving both Wick and Craugh that wasn't even hinted about until right then. Although I'm sure the details will be revealed later. I don't mean to bash the poor thing black and blue, though. It wasn't the greatest story, but it had its merits. There was some humor between characters who in turn weren't shallowly developed. The arguments between parties were pretty good, too. I especially liked the one between Juhg and Craugh about the reason behind the Cataclysm (more detail would involve spoilers that I'm not so inclined to reveal). All in all, I wouldn't suggest not reading it because of any of these complaints. I am invested enough in the story to keep going and find out what happens next (especially since this one ended on such a dramatic note that I am neither inclined to spoil). I've never encountered a story before so centered around books, where knowledge and the written word is; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Lord of the Libraries (The Rover, #3); Author: Mel Odom; Genres: young-adult, comics, paranormal, graphic, fantasy, fiction; Review: I must say, this is a good ending to The Rover trilogy and I enjoyed it very much. It was more engaging than The Destruction of the Books, holding much more of the adventure that I missed from the first book. We finally get to learn more about Craugh, his history, and the part he had to play in how the world came to be as it is. I found it very interesting the connection he had with the main antagonist of the story, as well, though we don't learn of this until the last chapter. The bulk of the story follows Juhg and his companions as they journey to rescue the Grandmagister and complete the task Wick has charged his apprentice - one that will determine the fate of the world and all that high fantasy awesomeness. With a mix of humor and drama, we get to follow along as the characters, namely Juhg, struggle with the responsibility, doubt, and fears that arise as they go deeper into their adventure. After learning some disturbing news, he feels his relationship with one of his friends is compromised, and we get to watch him wrestle with that, the fear and the hurt and the loneliness, for a good chunk in the middle of the story. But it isn't until we lose things that we realize just how precious they are. After living in darkness since the Cataclysm, rumors of the Vault of All Known Knowledge and Greydawn Moors have finally spread to the mainland after its destruction, this is something we learn toward the end, and after all the effort everyone put in to keep this a secret until now, the companions seem a little too okay with confirming the rumors when asked. And then, all quite suddenly, Juhg is talking to and teaching the instantaneously ammassing races about their histories, raising an allied army just like that, which faithfully follows him to the lair of Kempus where the climactic battle takes place. Warts or no, the ending was good, very Return of the King-esque. Whatever complaints I've had, it was still a good story and I was still sad to read the ending, comely thought it was. A story centered on the importance of books and learning, the role knowing history has in forming the future, and the danger of ignorance, was refreshing for a change and a concept that we should all appreciate.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Clockwork Three; Author: Matthew J. Kirby; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Such a good story! I've had this sitting on my shelf for a little while, now, and finally decided to give it a read. It was a great decision! The story was thoroughly entertaining and the characters believable. It's truly admirable the way Matthew J. Kirby intertwined the lives of the characters, circumstances, and events to flow together so engagingly. There were times it was next to impossible to put the book down. After my last read, the pace and intrigue of this story was a breath of fresh air and a satisfaction for the addicting experience I've been craving for a while. I highly recommend reading this story, especially if streampunk/industrial era stories and environments are up your alley, and even if they aren't, The Clockwork Three is definitely worth wandering from the beaten path.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dragon Weather (Obsidian Chronicles, #1); Author: Lawrence Watt-Evans; Genres: paranormal, romance, fantasy, fiction; Review: When I picked up this book I was not aware that it was part of a trilogy, nor did I realize it as I read, nor even as I took in the last words and closed the back cover. Yes, there were some questions that were not answered, but the ending was written in a way that didn't make me dissatisfied. After all, the mark of a good story, and a good ending, is giving the reader the feeling that the story goes on even after the last page. I only learned there was more after looking it up on Goodreads to write this review. (My copy doesn't have the 'Book One of The Obsidian Trilogy' on the cover. Fancy that.) The narrative is easy to follow, Lawrence Watt-Evans writes with an engaging flow that carries you along and all of a sudden you discover you've already finished the first part of the book. The story itself is one about a young man having a rough start in the world (being orphaned and made homeless in one day by dragons and then sold into slavery will do that to a person). Having a strong sense of justice or not, his sole drive in everything is revenge. His entire purpose in the new life he receives after escaping bondage and fleeing is whore -house sanctuary is hunting down and killing everyone who wronged him and his friends - including the legendary and dreaded dragons. I can understand this, but there were a couple of instances where I really would have liked to see some mercy and grace in our young protagonist. On the other hand, he isn't so cold blooded as certain subjects of his vengeance turn out to be as we get to know them more over the course of the story. Some enemies we find remorseful, some changed, and some are just plain rotten, so we do get to see how he deals with each situation, and even discusses with many of them their past deeds against him and his craved compensation. His greatest enemy, however, the mysterious and fearfully respected Lord Enziet/Dragon, is the foremost protagonist, but we don't really learn much about him as a person even unto the end - which, as I found, was fairly interesting. So we only scratch the surface, I thought, of why he did what he did and what he's doing now, but no real heart motives. Nevertheless, the one thing that stood out to me the most after finishing is when Black tells Arlian his true name. These men have been good friends for several years now, and over all that time Black never revealed it. Now, just as they're setting out after Enziet for once and for all, he tells Arlian on the fly in a hurried situation and it's just an 'oh, okay' kind of exchange and isn't mentioned again. I'd have thought something like that would garner a bigger reaction, for one, since they've been so close all this time. Two, I imagined it would be a perfect opportunity; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: A Tale of Time City; Author: Diana Wynne Jones; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I found this book at a garage sale, but seeing as it was a Diana Wynne Jones, and having so far enjoyed what I've read of her work so far, I snagged it. As usual this is a very whimsical tale, but not without depth. The world of Time City is fantastical, and viewed from the perspective of a '30s girl it's quite strange, indeed! I'll admit that in the beginning I had some trouble grasping the scenery and what was going on, but I soon became more engaged as the story progressed, and it was great how seemingly random events and encounters all culminated in the end to a thoroughly fun and unexpected conclusion.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Paradise War (The Song of Albion, #1); Author: Stephen R. Lawhead; Genres: history, young-adult, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: It has been far too long since last I read such a well-written, compelling, and engaging story. Someone had given me the first book, The Paradise War, so one day I decided to just give it a try, and it has been a marvelous experience ever since. Stephen R. Lawheadtruly does know how to spin a tale chocked full of complex, interwoven plot, amazing characters, and a writing style that carries you through the narrative with hardly any effort at all. I found myself immersed in Albion, a land of beauty, virtue, and character sadly not often found in this world, and by the end of The Endless Knot I found myself aching to see it go. The ending right near killed me, to be honest. Looking back you realize you've seen it coming, but had absolutely no idea what it meant until it happened. You get to know the characters so well that you get carried away feeling their emotions alongside them, at least I did, and I'm not a particularly expressive individual. The trilogy largely follows the first-person point of view experiences of the main character, Lewis (or Llew, as he is later and more commonly called) It's a POV I'm not used to reading, but engaging in the story as the character, seeing, feeling, and thinking in such personal terms was thoroughly enjoyable. We get to see how he grows from the Oxford scholar to the High King of Albion, developing mentally, physically, and spiritually; going from depressingly alone to surrounded by loyal friends and allies who have unwavering trust and faith in him as he quests for justice and setting things right in a world that's going wrong. The relationship between the antagonist and protagonist was also something thought provoking, how we can believe things are one way when they're actually completely different. The betrayal was deep, and at one time I found myself looking back and marveling at just how far these two had come, wondering if the Llew from page one could even fathom the events taking place one chapter from the end. It had certainly been a full ride, the progression of the story smooth, and while the underlying plot that drove the story from beginning to end never left, there were times you almost forgot this manifest world existed, when Albion was the only world and its struggles, triumphs, sorrows, and joys were all that existed and all that mattered. Then, of course, reality rears its ugly head and forces you to take risks and make sacrifices you wish weren't necessary. The ending, which, as I mentioned before, right near killed me, bore with it a mixture of sadness and happiness. Not all endings can be 'and they lived happily ever after. The end.' It's the realism and finality of the conclusion, and the way Lawhead swings in all back to the beginning, like a true Endless Knot, that made it so striking. I very much enjoyed and appreciate the beauty and truth of this Song of Albion trilogy, the labor and dedication involved; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fire (Graceling Realm, #2); Author: Kristin Cashore; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: ** spoiler alert ** I did not enjoy Fire as much as Graceling, but the aspects that I don't favor are the same in each. The wanton intercourse was even more replete in this story, but I must admit that it adds that certain spark of realism to the time and culture. That aside, the story itself was well told, although not so different than Graceling on a few points. The concept of monsters that Kristin Cashore has is unique, something I've never considered before, and it was interesting to see the differences and similarities between the monsters and Graced. We get some history on Leck, too, about where he came from and what he's up to before the events of Graceling, but this is largely peripheral against the main story of Fire. She's a girl with a strange and hard lot in life, one that I don't think many of us could lay claim to: unprecedented beauty and mental prowess. While in Graceling the idea of mental powers was only introduced as something new and extraordinary, in Fire it's a common thing for monsters to have and she uses it often, so we become more apt at sensing others' emotions and thoughts even though we're not as ingrained in their minds as we are in Fire's. We watch her grow and come into her own, realizing her purpose, and with both compassion and conviction refuses to walk in the footsteps of her debauched father, finding people to trust and love and who trust and love her for who she is and not because of her monsterness. The trials she goes through, both physical and emotional, are hard things, but the loyalty of those around her and the lengths at which they go for her is truly heartening. I enjoyed the ending, wrapping up loose ends, giving us some closure, as well as some hope for the future.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Wingfeather Tales; Author: Andrew Peterson; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: I enjoyed Andrew Peterson's Wingfeather saga thoroughly, so one can only imagine the thrill of learning of and getting your hands on a collection of short stories set in the same universe. Each of these tales carries the same sense of whimsy and wonder as the original saga, giving more depth to the history, world, and characters that makes you wish you could jump through the pages and be there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Conspiracy of Kings (The Queen's Thief, #4); Author: Megan Whalen Turner; Genres: history, young-adult, romance, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: A pretty spectacular fourth, if I do say so myself. The world of The Queen's Thief continues to expand with each volume in this series, and Megan Whalen Turner doesn't quit with her wit and labyrinthine political affairs spanning four countries and all their barons, revolts, conspiracies, and power plays. This time we read from the point of view of Sophos, our little Sounisian heir who has come so very far from the Useless the Younger from The Thief. In the previous book we hear very little of him, only that he's missing, and now we get to learn how and why. The poor guy is sent on a rollercoaster of wild and violent experiences that take him from his disenchanted youth to crown prince taking back by force his divided kingdom - to protect them and the peninsula from the hated Mede Empire. And who do we know who's always got his hands in the mess pulling the strings? Eugenides, King of Attolia. He's almost scary, quite honestly, but he's a sharp one, and after all we've seen of him since the opening page of The Thief, I can't help but like him. Smartly written and packed with action, humor, and a wee little bit of heartache, A Conspiracy of Kings is a wonderful and gripping story with a splendiferous ending.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: This Present Darkness (Darkness, #1); Author: Frank E. Peretti; Genres: thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Oh. My. Goodness. This book hit me on all the levels, as a writer, a reader, a person, and a Christian. Frank E. Peretti writes boldly, touching on real issues we deal with even today, decades after its first printing. The narrative is well paced, carrying you along the river current, and then it begins to pick up, growing faster as you reach the white waters, and by that time you really don't want to put the book down. Peretti's descriptions are vivid, his characters, the problems they face, and how each one deals with them are realistic and relatable, no matter where you stand. The theme of this story, depicting the (very real) warfare going on around us, is a refreshing change, I thought, from the analogies replete throughout literature. There are angels and there are demons, fighting within the wee town of Ashton, and the citizens don't even know it, but as the fire heats up, eyes are opened to the truth and the danger. The best way to destroy a man is not always to take his life, but to undermine his family and demolish his reputation, beating him raw until his soul shatters. I've heard many people talk about this book (and its partner Piercing the Darkness), that it was convicting and even prophetic. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to see it (I'm not always the most perceptive) but I saw it. The trouble harrying Ashton harries the wider world even today, becoming increasingly evident; it doesn't take much effort to see it. The emphasis in this story is on prayer, and while I'm not entirely sure if angels really get their strength from people's prayer and worship to the Lord, it has to be said that prayer bears much power. It is the single most effective action we as followers of Christ can make concerning any and every issue we face. Hank is an inspiration for what unashamed, unafraid, unshakable faith can look like, and what an honor to be accused of being a 'little praying man'. I highly recommend this story for the richness of its plot, creativity of its narrative, its conviction of faith and prayer, but also to those who are on the outside looking it. Whether searching for God or not, this story will give some insight into the world we see and live in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Isle of Stars (The Isle Chronicles #3); Author: Wayne Thomas Batson; Genres: history, young-adult, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I saw this and within the next .5 seconds knew I had to have it. I've loved just about everything of Batson's that I've ever read and could hardly wait. It didn't disappoint, though I was surprised to learn the nature of this story as inspired by requests from blog readers. It's the first real 'crossover' story I've ever read, with characters from the Dreamtreaders, The Door Within, and more. Going into it knowing that I felt a little nervous (I've always thought crossovers were weird) but I needn't have been. It was still a swashbuckling tale of adventure and discovery on the high seas, where the depravity of man meets the grace of God in most extraordinary ways. Marvelous. Simply marvelous.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Faded Sun Trilogy (The Faded Sun #1-3); Author: C.J. Cherryh; Genres: paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: To begin with, I have to confess my significant lack of experience in the genre of science fiction, having never had as much of an affinity to outer space and flying ships and aliens as to swords and dragons and elves, but this intrigued me. People always tell you not to judge a book my its cover, but the truth of the matter is: we do. More often than not it's the first thing a reader sees, and I love the artwork on the cover for this omnibus version. The synopsis begged me to give it a try, and the fact that it was an omnibus - with all three volumes in one package - sealed the deal. I really enjoyed it. The Faded Sun Trilogy is not one of fast paced, sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat action, which, unfortunately, may turn some people off. This is a shame. The story delves deeper into the characters and their motives for their decisions and actions, and C.J. Cherryh is truly detailed in her settings and plot. This is not something to read when you're half asleep, because the depth and intricacy demands your full attention. It's no bore, though, and I've stayed up too late on many a night entrenched in this world. The variety and intricacy of the various species within this trilogy is amazing, exploring the culture, language, history, and physiology of the four involved, creating an unique and interesting environment with severely conflicting cultures and priorities that drives much of the convoluting relations between species. And then there's Duncan. His tactical mind, willing heart, and being in the wrong place at the wrong time make him the perfect vessel for the task he must undertake in this grand adventure through space and across worlds, becoming a lynch pin for the growing post-war conflict. The poor guy gets put through a lot of crap from the people who confess to loving him, whether as a son or brother, but his devotion and unwillingness to give in proves his character to those who would hate and reject him. I think this is a great story worth every page; it has encouraged me to expand my genre horizons, and is that not, in the scheme of things, a sign of a worthy tale?; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Jungle Tales of Tarzan (Tarzan, #6); Author: Edgar Rice Burroughs; Genres: history, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: I fell in love with the story of Tarzan when I saw the Disney movie an age and a half ago, and got very excited when I recently found this book at a thrift store. As is per usual, the Disney adaption is nothing like the original, but in my opinion neither one is better than the other. Tarzan is more of an incubus in the books, and it's interesting to see the take on an human's inquisitive mind when largely isolated from mankind and raised by apes. Not gorillas. Apes. There are native Africans in these tales, too, to which Tarzan is absolutely devilish due to their killing of his mother, Kala. I found these stories fun, if not a little far-fetched at times, and I am certainly more than willing to go back and start from the beginning of this series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Castaway Planet; Author: Eric Flint; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: It's been a while since I've chosen so poorly a book to read, and usually I'll still muscle through a book to find out how it ends, but I couldn't do it this time. I'm sure the story itself is great, but the presentation I found lacking. It felt somewhat amateurish, with far too many adverbs and unnecessary info-dumps. There's also the excessive use of 'space physics', in dialogue and narrative, that left me confused and disenchanted. I'll admit that I'm not experienced in the sci-fi/outer space genre, so maybe that's per usual, but I did not enjoy it. The dialogue was also . . . unpleasant, in that the characters switched between spoken word and wireless communication, which I believe was private between individuals, and I had a hard time keeping track of who was talking to who through which avenue and who all knew what everyone else was talking about. Plus all the word emphasis. With stress put on so many words in a conversation, it was distracting and didn't sound natural. I didn't get far enough to have any real opinion on the story, and these are (mostly) issues with the writing. It didn't grab me.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Prince And The Pauper; Author: Mark Twain; Genres: history, young-adult, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: I have heard of this story and seen variations of it done for years, but I'm the kind of person who likes to find the original of a classic in as unadulterated a form as possible (outside of original foreign languages, that is). So when I found this copy, copyrighted in '69 and published by Grosset and Dunlap (who, as it happened, also did my copy of Jungle Tales of Tarzan) I knew I had to have it and find out the 'true' story of the Prince and the Pauper. I loved it. Set in medieval England just before the reign of King Edward the VI, it follows the misadventure of a certain poor boy by the name of Tom Canty and a certain Edward VI, Prince of Wales, who, had they been born identical twins could not have looked more similar. A seemingly chance encounter wildly reverses their positions, and we get to follow along and see how each copes with their drastically foreign environments, learning valuable lessons along the way. The image of sixteenth century London is vivid, picturing both the opulence of the royal world and the dire straits of the plebian community, who suffer perpetually under the unjust English law - which is ragged on often enough. The hardships young Edward endures, and the troubles suffered by those who endear themselves to him along the way, reveal to him the truth of wonton tyrannical rule. Meanwhile, the lavishness of royal life nearly blinds Tom Canty of his good heart, but in the end realizes all the posh and pomp is meaningless and empty. The dialogue is chocked full of 'thee's and 'thou's and 'for sooth's and whatnot (like I said, unabridged), but the writing is clever and speckled with rather frank humor. The characters are well portrayed, insomuch that I felt frustrated for both Tom and Edward when they insisted on their reversed identities and everyone around them persisted in assuming they were mad. Suddenly and inexplicably so. For the length of it, Edward expressed resentment toward Tom and what he must be doing, usurping the throne, and throughout all the story I felt fear for what might befall the pauper boy. And then there's Miles Hendon. Dear, dear Miles Hendon. An escaped POW, he comes into town in time to save the mistaken Edward from Tom's abusive father and proceeds to take the lad under his wing. He is an extraordinarily kindhearted and noble soul who gets abused both physically and emotionally, but he takes it like a man with endearing stoicism for Edward's sake and you can't not love him for that. This story is yet another example that goes to show that just because it's old, doesn't mean it can't keep up with the bullet train of this present era.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: They Both Die at the End; Author: Adam Silvera; Genres: young-adult, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: First off: wow. WOW. This book was described as haunting, and I will give it all of that. It was powerful. It has been a long time since I've stayed up till past 2 in the morning to finish a story, but this one demanded it. And then it proceeded to percolate my mind all night, infiltrating my dreams and waking with me in the morning. I haven't had a story stick with me like that ever, I don't think. Not even my favorites. The thought of our mortality, and what it is we would do were we given a day's warning of our own deaths, is a bold, almost punch-in-the-gut idea. As you are now, what would you do if you were told you were going to die sometime today? I have to agree with some of Mateo's sentiment: wanting to get out there and do something. Crawl out of your shell and take a chance. These two boys (young men, really, but boys) come from two very different places and carry very different baggage, but over the course of their last day alive they took a risk on choosing each other to spend it with, not sparing themselves the emotional turmoil of losing what they love. Through their friendship they find closure for past guilt, solace for what they're each leaving behind, and even finding new love and a desire for the Infinite Possibilities of the Future. And yet, as the title suggests, fate is inevitable and they both die at the end. Which is in and of itself striking, that even though a person can go through such revelation, finding happiness and hope, the story doesn't always end with 'and they lived happily ever after. The End.'. Some are more bitter sweet, and this one certainly carried those tones. In terms of statistics, the POV was first person present (my first ever, and other than third (my custom) the only real POV you can have in a first person that dies at the end). I felt confused at times trying to remember whose perspective I was in, as each 'chapter' switched between Mateo and Rufus, and there were other parts of other characters that I felt weren't entirely necessary for the story. Yes, they may have given some insight on different perspectives of life and death, but it didn't do anything to push the story forward. It added noise to the picture and I caught myself wondering why this or that person's POV was in here, especially when they only showed up once. Still, each one tied into the others like a spiderweb. Also, for those who have a mind, there is some strong language. Rufus has a less than salubrious tongue, so if that bothers you (it bugs me, to be honest, and I skimmed over those parts) be warned and proceed at your own discretion. The story's pacing is slow, with Adam Silvera focusing more on the characters' emotional journey and developing friendship as they wander hither and thither across the city, but the current carried me; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Tarzan of the Apes (Tarzan, #1); Author: Edgar Rice Burroughs; Genres: history, young-adult, mystery, thriller, children, crime, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: As I've mentioned before in a previous review on one of these stories, I LOVE Tarzan. My first exposure to this fantastic tale was Disney's cartoon adaption, which we all know tends to vastly rewrite the original. I fell in love with that story and, years later, fell in love with the original, too. But they are very, very different in many respects. In this story we get to know Tarzan's human parents far more before they perish, making sure we understand Tarzan's exceptional breeding as an English lordling. However, it isn't at the hands of a leopard that they die, but by the hands of Kerchak the King of Apes. Yes, apes. Not gorillas. I'll admit, I was a little sad to note this, plus the fact that the creatures were represented far more like animals in their natural light than Disney's tendency to humanize them, but Kala was still a devoted mother. She was the only one in all the tribe - largely the entire jungle - whom Tarzan actually loved, and you felt for him when she was killed by the newly arrived human natives. Tarzan proves rather indifferent when it comes to killing and a bit devilish when tormenting his mother's killers, and yet we see that he can be noble and very loyal. He is clever and ingenious with a mind that learns like a sponge. He likes to spend as much time as possible in the cabin on the beach built by his human father (John Clayton, Lord Greystoke) whom he never knew, playing with all the curiosities of human civilization stowed there, but mostly the books. Now, Edgar Rice Burroughs has Tarzan learn how to read and write English through these books, and while I could condone perhaps some basics with word/picture association, I found it odd that he could grasp the language to the extent that he did without any teaching. But that was my biggest issue. He understands that he isn't an ape after all, but a Man, and so when a party of his paler complexioned people arrive on shore he is very curious and hopeful of meeting them - but shy - and he can't understand a lick of spoken English in which to readily communicate with them. These people include, of course, Jane and her father, but no gorilla hunting madmen. This is when the story really veers from the more familiar Disney version, involving treasure hunts and kidnappings and rescues and a wee bit of romance. Tarzan loves Jane on first sight, and when he rescues her from a bull ape she loves him, too. Happy ending, right? Ney! Tarzan's nobility and love are both tested when he must safeguard an injured French officer in the jungle instead of returning immediately from the rescue to the beach and his beloved. (He befriends the officer who teaches him to speak French). Then, by the time they get back to the cabin, it's deserted! Tarzan has to travel up the coast of Africa to civilization and on for his love, but; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: HUE Women's Temp Control Cotton Leggings; Brand: ; Review: I love Hue leggings, especially the wide band cotton style. These leggings have a narrow elastic waist band and I find myself pulling them up from time to time. The fabric is great, cotton that is soft and breaths, and they are definitely not see through..

Title: Gemsli Satin Pleasure, Satin Half Slip with Novelty Lace, Cling Free # HW304; Brand: Gemsli; Review: Beautifully made slip. I purchased it in both white and beige. It's just the right length for my tea length sheer dress. The only issue is that the elastic in the waist of the white slip is stretched out, making it too loose..The beige slip fits fine in the waist.

Title: Nine West Women's Adorabl Leather Ballet Flat; Brand: ; Review: These shoes are adorable. I love the toe cleavage! I should really have purchased a 9 1/2 rather than a nine, but have been able to stretch the length somewhat. Wish that I could find these in other colors however the style is a couple of years old, and difficult to find. There really is no arch support - the same as most ballet flats.

Nice to read three females supporting each other through good times and bad times. Each story has some romance and love in it. How they each get their is very different, but realistic to life. There were some editing issues in the story, but it different take away from the plot or character.

Title: Hit & Miss Groom (The Hit Wedding Contemporary Romance Series Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Nana Malone Page; Review: Mrs. Malone's books are so good. These two young people wanted to please their family and do for their family (parents), but forgot about taking of self. It took others to remind them that what they wanted was just as important and they can't find love and be happy until they take care of self first. They had to stop sneaking around and accept was in front of them. Another fun romantic book with some previous characters popping up from a previous book. Worth reading.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Haunted (Eternally Tethered Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Christina C Jones Page; Review: I usually give C.Jones books a 5, but it took awhile to get going.

Title: Optima Batteries 8050-160 D31T YellowTop Dual Purpose Battery; Brand: Optima; Review: optima makes great batteries. however the description here is incorrect as is the primary picture. description says dual posts SAE and steel Posts not the case. this model is only a stud no sae post at all. i purchased 3 i got two different batteries. i got the 8051-160 and 2 of the 8050-160. the 8051 has sae posts only and the 8050 has studs only. i needed both studs and sae as the description says. had to return. the batteries i was replacing was from heavy marine use and were from 2008. one of them went bad so i was going to replace the whole bank of 3. never mix old optima batteries with new one's. hope this helps anyone looking to purchase these batteries. optima batteries last as you can see from the time i got out of them. the battery charger is very important when dealing with optima batteries. as long as it is a high end charger they will last. for those of you saying the batteries made in mexico do not last i got just over 8 years hard marine use and all were made in mexico; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Optima Batteries 8016-103 D34M BlueTop Starting and Deep Cycle Marine Battery; Brand: Optima; Review: purchased 3 from amazon very well packaged and fast shipping i needed these to replace 3 other optima for my trolling motor. the old ones were from 2007. 9 years of hard marine service and vibration. 1 of the 3 old ones went bad but you don't ever want to mix old optimas with new. so i replaced all three. the old batteries were also made in mexico so that made no difference to me. with optima batteries make sure you use a quality onboard charger and they will last for years and years. no they are not cheap but quality never is. i have 5 total in the boat, all optimas 2 for main engine 3 trolling motor batteries. other 2 for main engine still going strong from 2005; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Princess Mundo Imperial; City: Acapulco Pacific Coast; Review: We paid for a room in the renewed area of the hotel, the room was nice and almost clean (we had a cockroach in the room) That said the rest of the hotel is a complete chaos. It took me 45 minutes for check in, even when I'm part of their Presidents club. I drove my car and everytime I requested my car from the Valet (they only have valet) it took betweek 25 and 30 minutes. One of the pools was closed, In other words they have a nice facility but is over crowded witout enough personel. BTW there was no WIFI in my room for the durantion of my trip.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Royal Haciendas All Suites Resort Spa; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We used this property as a hotel, not a a time share like most of the people that were staying during my visit. So as a hotel user we felt that we had to accommodate to their system and it was a bit uncomfortable, specially if you are travelling with kids. (see my note in the Bad section) The Good: Nice and clean Better food and drinks than regular all inclusive. Does not feel crowded Relaxing ambiance (not a lot of noise) The Murales Restaurant is Great Very well kept The bad: You need to sign a check for every drink, meal, or activity, even when you have a wristband that shows that you are in the all inclusive package. Kids can't sign, so if your kids want a soda and a snack you need to go with them and sign, which makes the vacation a bit weird, since kids can't really be by themselves. If you stay during a saturday, they will switch your room and the process is not very well coordinated. Saturdays are dead, since is the day all owners move in and out, so there are no beach equipment rentals and activities. Staff feels slow, they just do the bare minimum to be OK, we did not experience great or speedy service anytime. Since I stayed a Saturday we had to change rooms and the second room the beds where old and the AC was noisy and the wifi really slow. Final idea: The place is nice, but will only go back if there is a deal that will compensate the constant annoyance of signing bills for everything specially if travelling with kids.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos All Inclusive Golf Spa; City: Cabo San Lucas Los Cabos Baja C; Review: Everything is great about this hotel EXCEPT for two things: The waiters in the sit down restaurants are very bad, by some odd reason having dinner is slow, the drinks don't flow, and is difficult to catch a waiter in case you need something else. We had dinner at the Peninsula, the Gaucho Grill and Rosato (Rosato was by far the worst service in the hotel, by far!) During lunch we ate around the pool, and the service was ok, but we had a lunch at the Penisula during our last day and again the service was terrible. Food is very good for casual dinning (Breakfast and Lunch) But dinner is not that great particularly the desserts, we did not have one good dessert during our stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Resort Spa Cancun; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We were there during a tropical storm and we had to spent a bunch of time in the hotel.

It is not the nicest Westin I have ever stayed buy is not bad either; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Marriott Cancun Resort; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Everything went right, every request we made we got a yes without hesitation. Everyone at the front desk is commited in making your stay very pleasant.

I will definitely stay here once again; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites by Marriott Orlando at SeaWorld; City: Orlando Florida; Review: This was a family vacation, the hotel is nice and clean, is a good place to sleep, have a decent breakfast, ample parking, good wifi.

Title: The Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood Curio Collection by Hilton; City: Hollywood Broward County ; Review: This is a nice hotel, clean rooms, nice bathrooms, nice lobby, with a lot of ameninites. That said I felt that the pool gets too crowded, and that the staff in order to check that you are a paying guest in order to use the pool, they have security staff stamping you in the arm in order to access the beach and pool. Parking is ugly and expensive, and the internet is TERRIBLE.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fairmont Mayakoba; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We stay at the fairmont mayakoba playa Del Carmen, The place is beautiful, but what really surprise me was the service, they really put an effort to make your stay an expiriance, even one of the manager Jorge creixel took the time to explain to use the different styles of cuisine they have.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Fiesta Americana Monterrey Valle; City: San Pedro Garza Garcia Monterrey Northern Mexi; Review: This is a great property, everything is new, beautiful and well kept.

Title: Las Brisas Huatulco; City: Huatulco Southern Mexico; Review: I just spent 4 nights in September with my family. Every employee of the hotel is more concerned with the enforcement of stupid rules rather than making sure you enjoy yourself. For example I visited the gym and a staff member named Aldair chased me out if the gym since I did not registered before entering (there was no one at the gym reception) and when I complained and mentioned that I would register at the end of my routine, he said that those were the rules and that if I did not like it I could just leave the gym. I tried to file a formal complaint in the lobby but the just handed me a blank piece of paper. Also when I rented snorkeling equipment the person handing me the equipment mentioned 5 times that I only had 30 minutes of use, no mentions like have fun or enjoy, just the remember that you have 30 minutes. At the pool there was an enforcer named Martin constantly chasing my kids for touching a rope that divides the pool among other stupid rules in the area. The rooms are decent, but the transportation system inside the hotel sucks, food and drinks are mediocre. Wifi only worked one day, TV had to be fixed and the air conditioning of the room is not so strong to keep with the local weather. On the bright side the beaches are just great and huatulco is awesome.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Grand At Moon Palace; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We visited this resort in September of 2018. We had a very nice experience overall, the pools are fantastic, the food is good most of the times, the rooms are clean elegant and confortable. In general its a great resort but we found the following issues: The details are: 1. The main reason for choosing this hotel was the waterpark which at the time is incomplete. The few features that they have are not family friendly if you have kids between 7 and 13 they will get bored, since they have an area for small kids and the an area for older kids. So if you have kids between 8 and 13 you only have one slide and the lazy river. We have been to other resorts with waterparks and even when they don't look that impressive they have been designed to be more family friendy (more slides open to all the family) more variety, etc. Even when they open the rest of the waterpark I assume the new slides will be catered to older kids (14 and above) 2. The transportation system is slow and insufficient 3. They will call you to "activate your resort credits" which means you need to attend a membership sales pitch. They woke me up one day at 8.30 AM and another at 9AM 4. The arcades are super fun but they need more maintenance, several machines were broken the basketball machine does not count the scores and the clown machine does not really work. I can't imagine they lounge and playground when its high season....; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Du Parc Royal; City: Medellin Antioquia Department; Review: This places is terrible, there is a lot of noise. So much the offer ear plugs as a standard toilet item. There is noise from the street, there is noise from surrounding bars, and there is noise from the other guest. One day I arrived and my next door room neighbors were hosting a sale of falsified watches, the entire ordeal looked shaddy and unsafe. Besides the noise, there were blood stains in my bathroom walls, the bed was super uncondortable, the lighting was poor.. I decided to stay here due to the reviews, but in 2 days I could not sleep for more than 2 or 3 hours; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Xcaret Mexico; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: I really wanted to love this hotel, because I really wanted to convince my family to come back since the place is beautiful and relaxing, but the service was really bad, no one in the hotel is trying to pamper you. Based on the cost of the hotel, we were expecting more than sterile service, long lines in bars and restaurants and receiving a lot of No’s as an answer. That said I guess that Experiencias Xcaret is one of the best them park operator in the world, but they need to mature their service in the hotel side of the business. The good: Just beautiful, the river is incredible, the "Caleta" area behind the beach is a small paradise. Since the hotel is secluded, there is no noise, so you can really enjoy the silence. The hotel is quite new, so everything looks modern, nice and well kept. The bad: Don’t expect to be pampered, no one in this resort provided spectacular or above and beyond service. We have been to other resorts in which the pool waiters or the barman pampered you. In this hotel they don’t go the extra mile. Restaurant reservations: If you are there for a long weekend, you won't be able to experience their restaurants since they are small and always booked. The day we arrived everything was booked and even when we ask to be put in a waiting list, the "concierge / membership salesperson" said that there was no way she could even try to get us something. So in 3 days we were able to only get one reservation Restaurant waiting times: For the restaurants that you don't need a reservation, you will have to wait and then wait some more. For the buffet, they have a very funky process for assigning tables so even when you see 20 or 30% of the tables open, they take a long time assigning your table. 40 minutes to an hour Bars: There are very few barmans, and they are so artistic that if you have 2 people ahead of you ordering a margarita expect 20 minutes to get a Pepsi or a beer. By the way in my three days 2 bares ran out of diet soda. No towels at the main pool : 2 times during my trip they ran out towels at the pool area, the first time I was under the impression it was bad luck, second time I asked the pool attendant and he also told me that it was a common problem. Staff in general: Sterile customer service even if compared to lower priced properties like Vidanta, Fiesta Americana, Palace Resorts… and of course much lower than Belmond, Banyan Tree, etc.. Finally on a personal note, there was a small piece of broken glass at my room and my kid stepped on it, nothing serious but I'm sure the room was not properly cleaned before since we did not break any bottles or glasses.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Sheraton Presidente San Salvador; City: San Salvador San Salvador Department; Review: I was in a single, king room on the 3rd floor, which is set aside for SPG Rewards members. The hotel and room was clean, the service good. They have a very nice restaurant and the outdoor pool is amazing. If I had one compliant, it was their lack of attention to detail. The day I arrived, I noticed the refrigerator in the room was working. In fact, it smelled of mildew and mold (so bad that it made the rest of the room smell). I reported it and they said they would replace it Nothing happened. I went to the front desk again the following day; still nothing happened. The third day, I finally spoke to the manager. When I returned later that day - they left the smelly, broken unit and just moved in another one! I'd stay there again, but will be more wary.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

The breakfast buffet is outstanding, including eggs made to order. There is a taxi stand right outstanding the lobby, so getting around town was very easy as well. I had some down time on Saturday (before I flew home on Sunday), so I hung out at the pool in a cabana, watched the cruise ships come and go and had a view cocktails. Overall the experience was very nice and I will plan to come back again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

The breakfasts were served in their restaurants displaying the splendor and beauty of the area and was a great way to start the day off. The staff was courteous and very congenial.

Title: Cariblue Beach Jungle Resort; City: Puerto Viejo de Talamanca Province of Limon; Review: The title says it all. We stayed at the Cariblue for 3 nights after staying the previous 3 nights at an upscale boutique hotel in Dominical on the Pacific coast. There was no comparison....we were much happier at the Cariblue. The staff went out of their way to show the wildlife and plants on the grounds; made tour arrangements, and kept our rooms very clean.

The rooms are spacious and well appointed with modern appliances and comfortable furntiure / bedding. Each room is afforded an ocean view and the grounds are kept very clean and pristine. Altough the rooms and the hotel are worth the stay in itself, the staff is the real pleasure of this resort. They provided the utmost professionalism and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is very enjoyable. Jorge and his staff in the restaurant provide very tasty meals and pleasant conversations while Arturo and his staff in the front attend to the very excellent customer service.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: FRAM CH9641 Passenger Car Oil Filter; Brand: Fram; Review: I normally go to Walmart to buy my oil filters but after three tries - and each time they were out of stock on this model, I bought it from Amazon. Good price at $8 with free shipping. It comes with an o-ring. But be aware, if this is the first time you are doing an oil change using this type of filter that you will also need a special wrench to remove the outside housing. Fram is a trusted brand and this is a quality filter. Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: HJC Helmets Shield IS-33 Harley Touring Motorcycle Helmet Accessories - Color: Clear; Brand: HJC Helmets; Review: I installed this shield on an existing helmet that is about three years old. The shield that was on it was the original. Installation was super easy and you do not need a screwdriver. I went out for a test drive and the whole world was a bit out of focus. I suspected that the shield was a counterfeit or something. But when I got home I discovered that their was a thin clear film on the outside of the shield presumably to keep it from getting scratched during shipment. So, I'm an idiot. In any case, once I removed that, the world became crystal clear again. Very happy with the shield and with the HJC helmet. I would recommend to a friend and I would buy again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Went to take the battery out to put in on the trickle charger and it was 100% dead. Tried to charge it using two different chargers. It won't charge.

Hotel was quiet during the mornings, allowing for great work atmosphere and we enjoyed the pool and exercise room during the afternoons.

Our son enjoyed the 24 hour cupboard and he and I spent 2 days exploring the Smithsonian Air and Space museum that is located near the Dulles airport -- about 15 minutes away. The location was convenient for my husband's work and we all appreciated the Walmart & Sam's Club that are in walking distance of the hotel.

The rooms are large, clean and filled with everything you need for an extended stay. We did not cook in the room but it was equipped with all we would have needed if we had chosen to. Our room had a wonderful, unblocked view of the ocean and of the giant sky tower (ferris wheel). We were in easy walking distance of all board walk attractions - including many shops, restaurants and also a park. The location was "safe / family friendly" and our teens, ages 17 and 13, were given free reign to roam the beach and boardwalk area together -- without Mom and Dad.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Candlewood Suites Jacksonville; City: Jacksonville North Carolina; Review: We were here to work for the week and room was clean, large, fresh smelling and had 2 large flat-screen tvs. (1 bedroom suite) Weather was great and hotel is in VERY easy walking distance to wal-Mart, Office Max, Dollar Tree, Radio Shack and several eating establishments -- Mexican, pizza, tacos. Hotel is next to a Holiday Express and across from several other hotels. Only negative - which did not affect us - is outside pool looks like it is being excavated....a big ugly mess......possibly a big draw back for summer visitors.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Washington Capitol; City: Washington DC District of Columbia; Review: We stayed for a weekend with our teen-aged son. Our room was on third floor and was clean and had a small refrigerator and a sleeper sofa. The hotel lobby was very nice and there was also a bistro and a restaurant in the hotel. A CVS pharmacy, a Quizno sub shop and a McDonalds are next to the hotel. We spent our time at the museums and only "sleeping time in the hotel room". The hotel is a 5 minute walk or so from the Air and Space Museum and also from a metro station. We will definitely stay here again for the convenience of walking to the museums. Parking is pricey but typical of DC area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn Suites by Wyndham Kill Devil Hills Mariner; City: Kill Devil Hills Outer Banks North Ca; Review: We had the ocean front suite that had a king bedroom and a bedroom with 2 full beds as well as a full kitchen and a large living/dining room area. Our room was clean and appeared to have been freshly painted. There were no 'strange or musty smells". The suite had THREE flat screen tvs - one in living room and one in each of the bedrooms. We did not rent for the tvs - but was a nice bonus! Our room was on the second floor and had a private balcony that was accessed from the living room. The ocean was right at the edge of the hotel. Fantastic view and peaceful sound of waves, surf and seagulls. Beach area was very narrow but not an issue for us. There is a pool on the property and the parking was adequate.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes; City: Orlando Florida; Review: Beautiful lobby, efficient and friendly front desk staff, friendly, courteous bellhops and valets and a spacious and clean room. We had a lake view room and also asked for a small refrigerator - which was delivered before we got to our room. We had zero complaints with the property or the employees. We made use of the on-site FED-Ex service and also enjoyed time at the lazy pool. We highly recommend stays at this property.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: North Beach Plantation; City: North Myrtle Beach South Carolina; Review: Our family of 5 checked in on December 26 and enjoyed a very relaxing stay. We were in a two bedroom penthouse and had plenty of room to relax and enjoy time together as a family. Decor was understated but modern. Balcony was wonderful with a full-sized dining table. You did not have a full ocean view because of the Jasmine tower on the left BUT no complaints! The penthouse had everything we could have wanted/needed including a washer and dryer. Breakfast was a bit "underwhelming" --- I think there may have been a larger crowd than was expected by the staff --- kitchen ran out of food a couple of mornings. Hallways were clean and quiet. Parking on site was "tight" but manageable. The resort has a variety of indoor pools and hot tubs inside as well as outside. We did not use these amenities or the exercise/ spa facilities on this trip but they did look/appear to be very nice. This property also has a highly ranked restaurant on site. We did not dine there this time but would like to try it out during a future visit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Wilmington Downtown Historic District; City: Wilmington North Carolina; Review: Brand new hotel located in walking distance of the Wilmington Historic district. Rooms are large. Lobby is beautiful and large. Bistro is great. Roof-top fire pit and pool. We spent lots of time at night around the fire pit! Modern, fully outfitted exercise room. Nice-sized guest laundry room. Friendly, service-oriented employees. Valet parking. Did I mention this is a brand new hotel? We LOVED our stay and look forward to visiting again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Renaissance Raleigh North Hills Hotel; City: Raleigh North Carolina; Review: Our family stayed at the Renaissance to celebrate our daughter's birthday and we were pleased and impressed. Service was fantastic from bellhops to front desk personnel. "Clifton??" I hope I have his name correct was so nice and professional. He spent extra time telling us how the "television" works in the restroom and explaining how the refrigerator in the room works. He also pointed out the fabulous view of downtown Raleigh from our room window. Front desk was also helpful in suggesting a nice limo service. We highly recommend this property and look forward to staying again. Rooms are also very spacious and there are very nice shopping boutiques in easy walking distance.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Tallahassee Downtown Capital; City: Tallahassee Florida; Review: Hotel was older but updated. Rooms were large and clean with very comfortable mattresses and bedding. Large and beautiful courtyard area. Hotel is located near shopping and restaurant areas. We would stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Savannah Midtown; City: Savannah Georgia; Review: We stayed "last minute" at the Courtyard Midtown in Savannah. Our room was clean, large and comfortable. Hallways were bright and well lit and luggage carts were conveniently placed beside of elevators on each floor. Our room was furnished with two beds, a side chair, large desk and dresser. Lighting was good and there were plenty of plug-in outlets for our electronic devices. The bathroom was large - toilet was located in separate room with tub/shower combo while sink/ vanity area was across from the closet. The lobby was clean and looked like it was recently updated. The bistro area also looked inviting. Everyone we met from front desk to housekeeper was friendly and helpful. We recommend this hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Fayetteville North; City: Fayetteville North Carolina; Review: This is an older hotel but it has such good qualities. We would not hesitate to stay here again. Hotel room was large, clean and fresh smelling. Bathroom was small but large enough for our use. Our room had a nice 3/4 sized refrigerator and a small microwave. Hallways were well lit and carpet looked new(clean). Access to the rooms was through an outside door with a card key. (Felt very safe/secure). Hotel lobby was small but looked like it was recently updated. Snacks and soft drinks / water was available for purchase in the lobby. Zoe's restaurant is next door and a shopping mall is in easy walking distance to the hotel. Best thing about this hotel was the front desk attendant....Tichinna (probably misspelled....so sorry) was so nice and professional when checking us in and she was also working when we checked out. It was so refreshing to work with someone that was pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient. Great customer service and cleanliness is so appreciated.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: MainStay Suites; City: Mount Pleasant South Carolina; Review: We recently stayed in a two bedroom suite and were satisfied. The bedrooms are large, the kitchen area is ample and is equipped with pots/pans everything you need to cook with for extended stay. We had 3 flat screen televisions and two bathrooms. Every employee we came into contact with was professional, friendly and helpful. The hotel was older but rooms, linens were updated. The hotel location was fantastic and an easy drive to historic Charleston. Patriots Point is a short 5 minutes or so from the hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard by Marriott Atlanta Downtown; City: Atlanta Georgia; Review: We traveled with our 3 young adult children and had zero complaints with our hotel accommodations. This particular Marriott is "housed" in a historic building and is called the Carnegie. There is a cute dolphin out front that is covered with books. Parking for check-in can be a bit challenging because of the angle of the hotel / downtown traffic but with patience is manageable. We chose to use valet service and were pleased with the courtesy of the people performing this service and their efficiency. The front desk is in a bit of an awkward position and the "lobby area" is a bit odd but it is an historic building and Marriott makes it work. You have to had a room key to work the elevator (nice safety feature) and halls are bright, clean and fresh smelling. Each room has a photo of a historic building beside of its door - nice touch. Our room was smaller than the normal Marriott courtyard room but it was plenty large enough and the bathroom made up for the smaller room size. Bathroom is large, modern and has a wonderful shower. Closet space is small - a single armoire that contains a small refrigerator and a small room safe. Size was sufficient for us for a 3 day stay. Beds were comfortable and there was a nice tv (we didn't watch but had nice channel selection from what we could tell) Our room had plenty of outlets for our various electronics and we had no problems with the wifi service. Hotel was in walking distance of various restaurants including Hard Rock, Metro Diner, Quiznos to name just a few. Bistro was large and nice. We enjoyed breakfast and various coffee drinks. Service was friendly and food was good. Hotel was located near the Aquarium, Coca cola museum, Olympic park and CNN building. We chose to drive rather than walk and parking wasn't an issue for us. Our trip was nice and we would recommend this hotel as a nice place to stay when visiting Atlanta. We would not recommend walking in this area late night by yourself but this was not an issue for us and there were plenty of police officers visible at all times.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Gulfport Beachfront; City: Gulfport Mississippi; Review: Nice, clean and newly renovated. Rooms are all renovated and lobby area is currently being renovated. We had lovely view of the gulf from our fourth floor room. Room is spacious with flat screen tv, small fridge and armoir. There is also a work desk station. Bathroom is small but VERY clean. Beds had clean white comforters and plenty of pillows. We overlook the highway but hear no noise from the outside. There is an Italian restaurant in walking distance and the hotel bistro serves breakfast from 6 until 10 am. Staff was efficient and check in was fast and easy. Location can"t be beat.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: SpringHill Suites Atlanta Buford Mall of Georgia; City: Buford Georgia; Review: Fantastic experience. Room was clean, comfortable and appeared to be newly upfitted. Hallways were well lit and elevator was clean. Lobby was modern and had plenty of room for small groups to gather. Breakfast buffet was good...fresh fruit was served including pineapple and strawberries. Hotel is located directly across from Georgia Mall and there are several food options and shopping options in walking distance of the hotel.Our room had two double beds , a large sleeper sofa, a desk, one large flat screen tv . Bedding was the new type.....white and washable after each guest. Front desk attendants were very friendly and efficient.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Knoxville West Bearden; City: Knoxville Tennessee; Review: Great overnight stay on our way to northern Tennessee. Customer service was outstanding from check in to check out. Lobby was large and lovely with many areas to sit and chat. Outdoor seating area has a firepit/fireplace that is pretty nifty and offered a cozy view of the mountains still covered with snow. Bistro looked nice and had a good variety. Guest room was furnished in a very modern style with small fridge and microwave located inside a cabinet off of the floor ---- no bending required! There was also a small coffee maker / hot tea set up in the room. We had plenty of plug ins for our electronics and the free wifi service was fast. Bathroom was large and modern with a lovely shower. Beds were very comfortable and room was very quiet. Parking was a little odd because of shared space with an office complex but it was not inconvenient. There were plenty of restaurants and bars in walking distance of the property. We would stay again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fairfield Inn Suites Chesapeake; City: Chesapeake Virginia; Review: Fantastic stay! Room was clean, large and comfortable. Hallways were clean and well lit. Parking lot was well lit.

Room has complete kitchen including stove top and oven and full size fridge.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Hickory; City: Hickory North Carolina; Review: Hotel was VERY clean and staff was friendly/efficient. This is an older hotel that has a new "feel". Room was large and comfortable with nice "white" linens and a wonderfully comfortable bed. Room was fitted with plenty of plug ins for our devices and had a nice desk as well a comfortable extra chair. The lobby and courtyard are are beautiful and provide a nice area for relaxing or visiting. The lobby has a very modern feel. There is an indoor heated pool / spa area. One of the nicest things was that the hallways are wide and are VERY well lit. The common areas of the hotel also smell nice and fresh. Hotel is in walking distance of several nice restaurants and the hotel itself has a nice bistro.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: TownePlace Suites by Marriott Newport News Yorktown; City: Yorktown Virginia; Review: Great hotel. Designed for extended stays, suites are outfitted with complete kitchens -- including stove with oven and full sized refrigerator/freezer. Room is serviced by housekeepers only once weekly unless requested otherwise by guests. We were able to get fresh towels when needed by simply asking the front desk. Room was VERY spacious with a nice bathroom and large closet. There was a large business desk and a separate work table in our room. We also had a couch, coffee table and flat screen television. Our bed was full sized with white lines and very very comfortable. Breakfast was good and the hotel also has a small but adequate work-out room and coin-operated laundry. Hotel is in walking distance of several restaurants and shopping center with grocery store is right across the highway. We will look forward to staying here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Wilmington Wrightsville Bch; City: Wilmington North Carolina; Review: Customer service at this hotel is top notch! We travel a lot and the fine art of good customer service is becoming a rarity. This hotel offers it from the time you step in the front door until the time you check out. The friendliness and efficiency of staff is real not fake. Rooms are fantastic with plenty of space and all modern conveniences.....stainless steel fridge, dishwasher,toaster oven, etc - wonderful granite and nice eating bar..... large bathroom....work desk, flat screen tvs, comfortable beds. There is also an indoor pool and a business center with computers, printers, etc. Breakfast was restaurant quality and plentious. We highly recommend this hotel! Thank you for a wonderful stay!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Residence Inn Orlando Convention Center; City: Orlando Florida; Review: Great location for our family of 5 including 3 adult kids --ages 16 to 22. We stayed in a two bedroom suite and had plenty of space. Full kitchen was a nice added bonus for returning to room after spending the whole day at the parks. Location of hotel was very convenient to International Drive and LOTS of restaurants and family-oriented activities. Room was clean; beds comfortable; great ac in room and two full bathrooms were just what we needed. The only 'somewhat" negative was limited areas for walking our "lap dogs". Wonderful stay and we would definitely stay again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Apollo Condominiums; City: Marco Island Florida; Review: Incredible, relaxing,week! Condo "common areas" were very clean, cool and inviting. Exercise room was great with a universal weight machine, two recumbant bikes, two treadmills and a stair stepper. Equiptment was newer and well maintained. Bathrooms with large shower facilities are right beside the workout room. Complex is well guarded with a key necessary to enter the building, the elevators and the pool area. Outside pool was clean and adequate. We had an assigned parking place and there was a washer and dryer on each floor of the condo....$1.50 to wash and $1.50 to dry. There is a restaurant....the Sunset Grill on site and it offers a nice variety of food. Walkway to the beach area is clean and smooth.....very close to the beach....maybe a 3 minute walk to the gulf. All condos are gulffront and have balconies. Units are individually owned so decor will vary. We rented unit 506....a one bedroom one bath with a combined kitchen and living room. Patio furniture was nice and the unit was clean but furnishings were dated and the unit did not have wifi. There was a small 28 or 31 inch flat screen tv in the living room and working tv from the 1970s? in the bedroom. Unit had a beach umbrella, beach towels, sandbucket, chairs available for use by renter. Beach was incredible. Beautiful seashells washed up each night. Water was great and the sunsets were gorgeous! We used our phones hotspot a couple times a day and spent most of our time on or in the gulf. We are looking forward to a return trip.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn Suites Fort Myers; City: Fort Myers Florida; Review: We stayed here one night after a our vrbo accommodation was not acceptable. Hotel was clean, comfortable and front desk service was friendly and professional. There is a indoor pool and a nice exercise room. We ate at fat kat which was an easy walk a through the a parking lot and there was also a cracker Barrell again walking distance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Suites; City: Pineville North Carolina; Review: Newly renovated. Modern, bright and colorful room decor. Rooms have mix of carpet and laminate flooring. VERY comfortable beds. Clean, fresh smell. Brightly lit hallways. Hot breakfast included scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles as well as cold items - cereal, yogurt, bagels. Front desk clerk VERY professional, friendly and same for breakfast attendant. Plenty of parking with well lit parking lot. Easy to get in and out of parking lot. We had two rooms - one with king bed and one with two queen beds. Rooms also have kitchenette area with sink, fridge and microwave. Wifi service was great in our rooms. We highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Island by Hotel RL; City: Fort Walton Beach Florida; Review: We had a great stay and excellent customer service. Hotel looks dated from the outside and a portion of the hotel is exterior entrance but it is so nice once you get beyond the physical exterior appearance. We stayed in an ocean front room in the tower and our room was very clean and fresh smelling. Bed was comfortable and room was pretty spacious. Balcony was nice and views of sunrise and sunset were incredible. Hotel is older but the only "negative" and this is if your are tall, is the bathrooms. Ours was VERY clean but the shower head is LOW. Shower head was great and we don't spend lots of time in shower so no "big deal". Pool and courtyard area are incredible - second only to the beautiful beachfront! Lobby is large and very nice. Drink machines and ice machines are available on each floor in the beach front tower and there is an Alvins store in the pool/pool area. Workout room is also very nice!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites near Rainbow Springs; City: Dunnellon Florida; Review: New hotel and staff was nice and efficient. We stayed here because rooms in Crystal river were unavailable. We had about a 20 minute drive from the hotel to Crystal River but the drive was easy and the comfy beds and large rooms were worth the stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: George Washington Inn; City: Port Angeles Clallam County Washington; Review: I live near the inn and was wanting to see the property, etc. for overflow guests. This inn has had a lot of exposure in the local newspaper and looked like a good option for us. I stopped by the other day with 2 out of town guests. We were greeted at the door (which was barely opened) and told that only "registered" guests were allowed in. How could you possibly recommend some place to stay if you are not allowed to see even the public areas. We have a small community and usually everyone is very nice and friendly. I cannot say that about this inn and it's owners. It looks like a nice place, but there are many other places to stay in Sequim and Port Angeles. These owners need to consider how they treat locals and potential guests.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Bishop Victorian Hotel; City: Port Townsend Washington; Review: We stayed in this wonderful hotel for one night. We live in nearby Sequim and wanted a little get away. We chose this hotel based on TA reviews. Did not disappoint. Yes, it's in a old building, but everything is clean and maintained. We stayed in a King Suite. Really nicely laid out. Bedroom separate. Everyone we had dealings with was excellent. Very helpful and friendly. Enjoyed a good meal at The Fountain Cafe and then off to a movie at The Rose ( a great old movie theatre ). We'll be back for another 1-2 night escape.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Pensacola Beach; City: Pensacola Beach Florida; Review: We stayed here recently in an end room, king suite. Room was spacious. Two sinks, which was nice. Comfy bed. There was a mini fridge but no microwave. All rooms have wonderful gulf view. We were on the third floor. The weather was not good, so did not get to use the pool. The front desk staff very helpful. We could not get connected to wi fi in our room. We were told they were upgrading their system. So I hope this gets resolved. So that was a negative. Overall good place to stay on Pensacola Beach.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Travellers Rest Cabins and RV Park; City: Darby Montana; Review: We recently were on a family trip through Montana on our way to Yellowstone. I have stayed here many years ago and liked it then. As a group we had all three motel rooms which worked well for us. The rooms were very clean and spacious. Mary (owner), and Rhonda (host) were very available but not intrusive. The little cabins are great also. My grandson left an item behind and Mary mailed it to me. How nice! Darby is fun to visit and this is a great place to stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: El Western Cabins Lodges; City: Ennis Montana; Review: We stayed here one night on our way to Yellowstone. All agreed we would have liked to stay another night or so. Rooms are rustic, but clean. Bathrooms are updated, ours was small though. (Our towels were a little dingy, so some bleach would help). The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. Would stay again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rodd Crowbush Golf Beach Resort; City: Lakeside Prince Edward Island; Review: Had dinner recently. We were staying at The Inn @ St. Peter's. Had mussels & salad. Good service & food. About 20 min from Inn. Nice alternative. We were not staying at golf course , but looked nice. Interesting menu.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Inn at St Peters; City: Saint Peters Bay Prince Edward Island; Review: We spent 3 nights here on our trip to PEI. We chose this inn from TA reviews. Karen and her staff were very accommodating. Not sure what previous reviewer was talking about. Our room was spacious # 9. These units are connected. Ours was closest to the water and on the end. The lodging and grounds are clean and well maintained. We ate in the dining room 2 nights. Be prepared to spend $100 for soup/salad/entree and drink. The food was very good. A good breakfast was included in our room price. One thing I will say the buildings are in need of some general maintainance. A couple of windows in our room had broken seals, which interfered with the view. The decks and porches need to be replaced, the weather has gotten to them. And a coat of exterior paint is needed. The inside of our room was fine. Overall, this is a beautiful property and Karen does a fine job of running things. PS-Great wi fi.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pictou Lodge Beachfront Resort; City: Pictou Nova Scotia; Review: Chose this lodging on TA reviews. Wonderful location on Northumberland Strait... I would suggest you call re-which room or lodging would fit your needs. There are many choices. We had 16A in Cedar Court. End unit close to water, nice. The dining room is reminesent of US national park lodges. Dinners were very good in dining room. I suspect that all rooms are dark due to being all wood (except for new units). So they need lights on and drapes open. But charming overall.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lantern Hill Hollow; City: Ingonish Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia; Review: This place should be #1, if you really compare it to the others. The local is handy, but not right on the hwy as so many others are. The property is pristine and beautiful. We are staying in one of the cottages. (#1) This is closest to the beach, but all the cottages are. The beach is right there and you don't have to scramble down any rocks to get there. The photos do not due this property justice. The buildings are newer and nicely done. There is an electric fireplace that puts out some heat and creates a nice atmoshpere. Nice tv and great wifi. Be prepared to bring everything you need for food, including coffee. Grocery nearby. Would be nice if there was a king size bed in our cottage. Both bedrooms have queen beds. Sharon is great, very helpful and responsive via email.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Roche Harbor Resort; City: Friday Harbor San Juan Island San Juan Islands Washington; Review: We just spent 4nts/5days at Roche Harbor with our family group. Our son and his family stayed in a cottage (#19) front row. My other son and girlfriend stayed in a condo (#113) and we stayed stayed in Quarryman room (#349). We ate at The Madrona Grill the first night and then traded venues from cottage to condo each of the remaining nights. Very fun, we were all over the resort! The service as always was great. We came by boat and moored at the guest dock, others came by car. It was their first time at the resort so they were in awe. They loved the flag ceremony every night, great for the kids to see. This is such a wonderful place and special for us in NW. We will be back!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Swan Hotel; City: Port Townsend Washington; Review: We live in Sequim, WA about 45min. by boat or car from Port Townsend. We go to PT a few times a year as a little get away. We have stayed at The Swan's sister property The Bishop in the past. We wanted to give The Swan a try. We rented the penthouse, which was wonderful. Although really too big for two people. It takes up the whole top floor, wonderful views from all sides. But it was a treat. I had requested an early check in (at 1pm), which they were able to accommodate. I have always found the front desk people at both locations, friendly and helpful. For special occasions, you get a bottle of wine! The rooms have always been clean. These are old buildings, so some things are not perfect. But always charming. We will be back to stay at The Swan. My only other comment is, I think it's time to get new towels. They were on the thin side and scratchy. All in all, so nice to have such a fun place as PT so close for us.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alpine Rivers Inn; City: Leavenworth Washington; Review: I was meeting my friend in Leavenworth and depended on TA to guide me as to the best lodging. This motel was perfect. Not fancy, but good size room (2 queen beds). The room was clean, perhaps a little outdated. Every room overlooks the Wenatchee River with a balcony. We had room 218. It was quiet and near the end away from the office. The staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was just fine, better than most. The pool was clean and well maintained. You can play miniature golf at no charge at the course in town. It was very fun. This is a quiet location away from the hustle and bustle. But only a 5-10 min.walk to get to town. It was perfect. Would highly recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: La Conner Channel Lodge; City: La Conner Washington; Review: We came by boat from Sequim. Docked at the marina, which was less than a 5 min. walk to hotel. Was able to check in early. Prompt service. Room (#304), nice king corner suite.. Overall, the place seems nice. Haven't had breakfast yet. I agree with other reviews, probably needs touch up paint, etc. over the winter months. But overall, nice place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Inn at the Market; City: Seattle Washington; Review: We have stayed here a few times. The location couldn't be better. We stay on one of the upper floors, water view room, wonderful!!! Very good service. We've eaten at Cafe Campagne and Bacco, both very good and close. We will be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: CorrosionX 61002 Rejex 16oz Bottle; Brand: Corrosion-X; Review: I've only given this product 4 stars because I can't confirm how long it lasts yet. I used it to polish and protect my chrome wheels. It's a little work to put it on (you have to keep it out of sunlight to cure), but leaves a very slick finish behind.

Title: ACDelco 10-4041 Synthetic Supercharger Oil - 4 oz; Brand: Genuine GM Parts; Review: Pricey for what it is, but it's still cheaper than the dealership! Some say use synthetic motor oil, but is saving a few bucks worth close to a grand in repairs if it fails?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: OEMTOOLS 27145 Combustion Leak Detector; Brand: OEMTOOLS; Review: Works perfect. Pour the fluid in, engine running, squeeze the ball a few times and if the fluid turns yellow you have exhaust in your cooling system. I've diagnosed numerous head gaskets with this. A must for any Honda owner. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lisle 24680 Spill-Free Funnel; Brand: Lisle; Review: Probably the most I ever have, or will spend on a funnel. I've seen these before and kinda laughed at them. But after using it on two cars to burp cooling systems and to diagnose bad head gaskets I'm a believer. Possibly one of my new favorite specialty tools!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Innovited 35W HID Xenon Conversion Kit Slim Ballast H3 6000K; Brand: Innovited; Review: Very low quality product. I didn't even get to install them. The ballasts and ignitor boxes are not even weather tight. In fact, both ignitor boxes were broken/open when I got them. They are about the quality of a radio shack project box, which the lid poped off of. I've had 4-5 different budget HID kits. While this was my first "slim" ballast type, it was by far the lowest quality. Thankfully Amazon is awesome is is refunding me and paying the return shipping. Do yourself a favor, stay away from these slim versions. My ebay $25 ones were higher quality.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Genssi 30/40 AMP Auto LED Light Bar Relay Wiring Harness SPDT 12V 40A (Pack of 5); Brand: Genssi; Review: Relays seem like a decent quality, wiring harness is kinda cheap but identical to ever other one I've ever bought.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Dorman HELP! 77077 Chevrolet/GMC Black Tailgate Handle; Brand: Dorman; Review: Broke the same way as my 15 year old factory part did.

Title: Cable, J1962M RA to RJ45, ScanGaugeII Replacement Cable (146601); Brand: OBDLink; Review: After trying two of these cables, neither of them work with any of my vehicles that the scangauge cable works with.

Title: PLX Devices DM-6 SM-AFR Gen4 Gauge Combo UEGO AFR Air/fuel Ratio Bosch LSU 4.9 Wideband Oxygen Sensor Controller with 2; Brand: PLX Devices; Review: Very nice wideband setup. Display is crisp and easy to read. I also used the analog 5v output to wire into my unused EGR wiring and was logging wideband output in HPTuners in minutes. My only gripe is the screen does not dim. It's a little too bright at night time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Permatex 80645 Low VOC Gasket Remover, 4 oz.; Brand: Permatex; Review: Useless. Completely useless. Multiple times I've tried it. Even letting it soak over night. Can't even dissolve simple paper gaskets. I think glue would be more effective.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: HJC Helmet Shield - HJ-09 (DARK SMOKE); Brand: HJC Helmets; Review: Tint level is perfect for bright sunny days and not needing sun glasses. Seems fine on overcast days too. I have not tried, and probably would not try it at night. Fits my HJC CL-17 pretty good. The locking detents actually catch better than the clear visor that came with the helmet. (I can actually ride around 45mph with it cracked open to the lowest setting and it stays. Optics are pretty good too. Maybe even better than the stock clear one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Nilight Led Light Bar 2PCS 18w Spot Driving Fog Light Off Road Lights Boat Lights driving lights Led Work Light; Brand: Nilight; Review: These are nice and bright, and feel well made (heavy aluminum housing), but I have my reservations about the mounting system. Get some better hardware, and some lock washers. In my application i had to install the bracket on the car first, then mount the light to the bracket. Getting the nuts to stay in the slot while starting the screws was a real treat. Only time will tell how they hold up.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: LEDAUT Spark Plug Heat Protector Insulating Fire Sleeve Spark Plug Wire Protector - Black 8 Cyl; Brand: LEDAUT; Review: Only time will tell if these really do their job. Quality seems good. They're a little tricky to get over 90 degree plug boots, but if you work at it you can get them. I managed to get them over my MSD 8.5mm wires. The only complaint I have is the spark plug end has a small opening because there is a metal ring inside the boot. I discovered it's like a spring type ring (think cheap keychain ring). If you are careful you can stick a pair of needle nose pliers in it and force them open to expand the ring a bit.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rain-X Black Box 3.5 oz. RainX BCAF21112 Anti-Fog; Brand: Rain-X; Review: I'm a fan of regular Rain-X but this anti-fog was a total letdown. I tried it on my motorcycle visor, and if you buff it clear enough that it's not hazy it has zero antifog properties. I also tested it on my bathroom mirror, same hazy glaze to it. And it still fogs!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: MUYI 10 Kit 1 Pin Way Waterproof Electrical Connector 1.5mm Series Terminals Heat Shrink; Brand: MUYI; Review: These seem to work pretty well for the price. Like any connector, assembly can be a little tricky if you don't have the right crimpers or have never done it before. Make sure you have the proper crimpers, and make sure you orient the pins correctly when installing and you will be fine.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Plexus Plastic Cleaner, Protectant and Polish (13-Ounce); Brand: Plexus; Review: This stuff is pretty amazing.

Title: Bikers Choice Helmet Lock - Black 74937BSE; Brand: Biker's Choice; Review: Junk. Will cleanly only fit bars 1" in diameter by my best guess. 1 1/4" is too big and will not fit without longer bolts and scratching off the finish of the bars. Lots of sharp edges from poor casting. Arrived with black paint chipping off in spots. Lock mechanism is terrible. You would be better off using a hose clamp to permanently mount a padlock to your frame.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hayden Automotive 3651 Adjustable Thermostatic Fan Control; Brand: Hayden Automotive; Review: Works great. The sensor probe being hard wired is a bit of a joke though. I had to cut and extend mine but also added a weather tight quick disconnect to it. I can't speak for what the other reviews say about burning it up, because I'm only driving a small 8" transmission cooler fan with mine. If I were using it for a heavier application like dual rad fans I would probably just use this to drive a larger relay that controls the fans.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Allstar ALL92000 Engine Oil Filter Adapter for Small Block Chevy; Brand: Allstar; Review: Bolts to most older small block chevy engines and accepts a standard 1qt filter. Great for deleting those leaking oil cooler lines on most 80s-90s GM products.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: AEM (30-4110) UEGO Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge; Brand: AEM; Review: After having the UEGO for awhile I wish I bought it in the first place. I had bought another popular brand that had some more bells and whistles (blue oled display) but had nothing but trouble with it. Their support was terrible. The AEM is a little more basic design, but works perfectly. I ran the low output of it into my EGR signal line and can now log that via HPTuners.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Joe Rocket Men's Atomic X Motorcycle Gloves (Orange/Black, Small); Brand: Joe Rocket; Review: I love these gloves. They are comfortable and don't get too hot in the summer. The leather patches on the knuckles are not completely sewn around the perimiter so they flex a little more and let a little more air flow in. The palms have some decent padding and are grippy. I can actually palm my throttle if I want to stretch my fingers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: OPT7 Nova Plasma DRL Light Bars - (550 Lumens) 17cm COB Daytime Running Light White; Brand: OPT7; Review: Super bright, but not in the least bit waterproof. Solder joints are exposed and could short out very easily to the aluminum frame. Emailed OPT7 and after a week of emails and sending photos I was told they were defective and I needed to send them in to get a replacement. Pay to ship them back to CA?

Title: MUYI 10 Kit 2 Pin Way Waterproof Electrical Connector 1.5mm Series Terminals Heat Shrink; Brand: MUYI; Review: Very similar to the connectors used on a lot of GM cars.

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Landmark Inn; City: Marquette Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: I enjoyed the Landmark, although it was pricey (not sure how it compared with other options - find it hard to believe that a national chain hotel would be rated higher in Marquette). We had a nice room with a four-poster bed and vintage furniture. Everything worked and we had a great Thursday night in the Pub with live music. Staff at the desk was nothing to write home about, which keeps this from getting 5/5.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Iron Mountain; City: Iron Mountain Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: A solid example of the HI Express chain. Good clean rooms, well appointed and in good repair. No issues with any items during my stay - great breakfast offered. Even have the neat pancake machine...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Beach Rotana Abu Dhabi; City: Abu Dhabi Emirate of Abu Dhabi; Review: Was here for a conference and was impressed with the quality of the hotel (about 4-star) and the overall staff - which really bent over backwards (nearly literally) to make sure that everything about the stay and the meeting was excellent.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alaska Denise Lake Lodge; City: Soldotna Alaska; Review: Just spent three days at the Denise Lake Lodge. For Alaska, this location is quite a value. The current fishing guide (Nathan) was really great and we landed our limit of silver salmon in about 2 hours. Unfortunately, the Lodge books halibut trips out of Ninilchik (Deep Creek) and we were "blown out," despite what turned out to be a beautiful day - not impressed with their charter operator. Jim and Elaine were very nice and the food (including the fisherman's lunches) were great. The owners do everything on paper and there was a little trouble with some forgetfulness. Didn't dampen our spirits, though.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Palace Madrid; City: Madrid; Review: Take a lovely building owned by a hotel chain with some of the best perks for frequent travelers and then staff it with uncaring, lazy, some might even say useless employees. Add into the mix outrageous prices - including free coffee and tea in the mornings with a mere 4.5 Euro delivery charge and 12 Euro beer in the bar. What do you have - the Westin Palace. I think most of the reviewers here are excited since this is the first high end hotel they've ever set foot in. Given the price and its' competitive group - the Palace falls WAY below.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Hotel Airport Tegel; City: Berlin; Review: Nice standard Ibis hotel with a wonderful staff. Great location proximal to both the S- and U-bahn. Nice family neighborhood in Altreinecker.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Duran; City: Figueres Province of Girona Catalonia; Review: Stayed in this lovely little hotel in the center of Figueres. Was affordable, with internet and breakfast all included. Staff was excellent and everything was smooth with our reservation and other needs.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crossroads House; City: Carlisle Cumbria England; Review: Enjoyed the breakfast at Crossroads House and Warren and Sue were great hosts - but that doesn't necessarily make up for the saggy baggy bed and the road noise. I wonder why B&B proprietors can't go out and buy a decent firm mattress. I mean, I am assuming they have to change them once every few years anyhow. The noise - both outside (the inn is at a crossroads) and inside (even though the other guests were all OAP, they were a noisy lot) was a bit much. Note, if you go - they offer a twin room with a "private" bathroom. Private in this case does not equate to "en suite." You have (supposedly, although it doesn't lock from the outside) exclusive use of the bathroom, you just have to traipse up the hallway to get to it. Value was OK - not the lowest price, not the highest. The breakfast was really quite good and the guest lounge and amenities were very nice.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hamilton; City: Hamilton South Lanarkshire Scotland; Review: Spent a pleasant night at this hotel. Public areas were attractive - a nice full bar (which we didn't use). Plenty of convenient parking and a serious shopping centre next door. Rooms were standard Holiday Inn Express. Only two small lacking points, both of which can be easily fixed: (1) no WiFi in the rooms (no idea why this is) and (2) Breakfast area was pretty shabby - a little more attention to keep it sparkling would make it better.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn San Mateo San Francisco SFO; City: San Mateo California; Review: Had one of the worst hotel experiences in a very long time at the Holiday Inn & Suites - San Mateo (SFO). While the hotel appears to be very nice, the circumstances surrounding my stay beggar belief and I am convinced that there is a significant lack of management at this hotel. Ms. BHF and I arrived in SFO about 7:15 and went to the hotel shuttle area where she called the hotel a little after 7:30. She was asked if she was part of a US Airways crew - and she said no, I'm on UAL. Was told to wait 30 minutes - a bit long and we were a bit cold having come from warmer parts, but 30 minutes is OK. After 35, called the hotel and got a desk clerk who said - "the driver went to pick you up at US Airways and you weren't there - you said you were with US Air." Now - if you know SFO at all, it is NOT POSSIBLE to pick someone up at Terminal 1 and not drive past Terminal 3. But - more of that later. So we waited - after another 15 minutes, I called the hotel and got the night manager, who - although nice - seemed at a loss that we were looking for a shuttle. I asked her to call her shuttle driver and ask him where he was. After about 3-4 minutes, she came back and said "Millbrae Avenue" which is 0.75 miles from the airport. So, we waited - 10 minutes later (how long it - suspiciously - takes to get from the hotel to the airport), the driver arrived. When questioned, he said he had picked up a US Air crew a little after 7:20 and then headed back to the hotel. His log - sitting on the floor in front of me, told a different story. It showed he had left the hotel at 7 - arrived back at 7:30 and then had left to get us after 8 PM. Getting to the hotel about 8:40 PM, we were just in time to see someone we would learn the next day was the general manager, but she didn't say a word to us (I was clearly steamed), she just left the hotel after I started chewing on the desk clerk/assistant manager. No one accepted any responsibility, instead they blamed it on a "clerk who had gone home sick" and offered no specific apology. Even though by now I was past ballistic and into the stratosphere, they insisted I was wrong, the driver had been in the terminal and he just hadn't picked us up. Finally got into a decent room (a suite) and enjoyed a short night's sleep - awakened at 6:30 by a delivery truck backing into the alley way behind the room. Headed down to catch a shuttle back to the airport (to get a rental car) and met the GM - strangely enough, the same woman who had LEFT the night before without saying word one to me.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur; City: Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: Nice hotel - a bit on the pricey side. Was there for a conference and as underwhelmed by the food offerings. The hotel doesn't really have its own bars and restaurants - is all part of the "Feast Village" at the neighboring mall. I was not all that impressed with the Executive Lounge, which was small and had staff that made inattentive look good in comparison. Have never been ignored so successfully by so many employees.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hesperia Barcelona Tower; City: Barcelona Catalonia; Review: Stayed here for two days. The hotel is directly opposite the last station on the L1 (which is the central TMB - Metro line). It takes 20 minutes to get to Plaza Catalunya - which despite what one reviewer wrote is pretty reasonable unless you are going to fork out the money to stay on Las Ramblas. I will note that other reviews complain about the cost of "extras." Two things - (1): That's why they are called extras, e.g., you can pay a rate which includes breakfast and (2): welcome to Spain. The hotel is located about 1 km from Ramblas Just Oliveras which is a nice little urban center that has many restaurants and shops. Walking in the pedestrian pathway between the apartments north of the hotel also brings you through many cafes, restaurants and food stores. Lastly, the accommodations at this hotel are excellent. The rooms are large - if you reserve a double bed, you can get one, and the shuttle to downtown is a nice touch if you don't want to bother with the Metro. There is also a lot of train traffic through the Avenida Carrilet station (FGC) which is just at the beginning of the Ramblas Just Oliveras.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott Hotel; City: Hong Kong; Review: Although expensive, this hotel is a very modern upscale location with a great breakfast - actually the best I have ever seen. The hotel is free to get to from the airport. For me, getting in at midnight and having a morning flight out, it was a great choice.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Roma Hotel Conference Center; City: Rome Lazio; Review: I recently wrapped a three night stay at the Sheraton Roma Hotel and Conference Center. I was well aware that the hotel was out of town, but I didn't expect it to be in a slum. Graffiti, trash, broken car windows - unreal. The hotel is near the EUR Magliana Metro station and is easily walkable - with the exception that the sidewalks are completely overgrown and no one seems to have attended to anything since the beginning of the global financial crisis. The front desk staff and the concierge were the most unhelpful people I have ever had the displeasure of working with, including one who told me that they couldn't sell me tickets on the shuttle to the airport more than one day in advance (I nearly lost it with that comment). Had lunch the first day in the restaurant as me and the kids (2 adults) were starving. Was arguably the WORST food I have ever had in a *Wood restaurant. I am not sure how Italians can ruin PIZZA! My son had pizza and it was oily and runny and not properly cooked. My pasta was not just al dente, it was al uncooked. Worst waste of money. On the bright side - and the only bright side - was the lounge. The folks working the lounge were friendly (the food was terrible - see above) and they had sodas, water, coffee, and wine (rosso, bianco, and prosecco) during the afternoon hours. The setting was nice. Although it was affordable (my only reason for using it). I doubt I will ever set foot there again.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Las Vegas Hotel Spa; City: Las Vegas Nevada; Review: Just passed my fifth or sixth stay at the Westin LV. Service was pretty good, the gym is fantastic and the little casino is pretty sweet (nice casino staff). That said as a lifetime Platinum member, I expected a little more from the hotel - I've got relatives who stay 4-5 times a year at Bally's and get treated like Kings. This was my 400+ stay in a Starwood property (19 consecutive years Platinum) and I got the same little box room as all the rest of the hoi polloi.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Soggiorno Laura; City: Florence Tuscany; Review: Spent two nights here in a triple. Bathrooms are "private" but they are out in the hallway. Plumbing (welcome to Italy) was poor - but even more atrocious was the fact that the shower didn't drain. Made the complaint first afternoon of first day - never even corrected. Wait, it get's better - woken up at about 4 AM by people moving furniture on the breakfast patio - loudly and for a long time. Got up the next AM and asked the staff why the heck they did it in the middle of the night. Answer - was a group of drunks moving furniture - the capper - they didn't even throw them out! If this was my place, their bags would have been on the sidewalk - no refunds. Not even a "sorry" from the staff on that one. Room was OK - too tired to really think about.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Albergo Giovanni da Verrazzano; City: Greve in Chianti Tuscany; Review: After experiencing lackluster service in many parts of Italy, it was a pleasure to stay here. A lovely little Albergo with a great breakfast in the AM. Room was up-to-date and the shower worked pretty well (OK, the hot water cycled pretty heavily). Nice place, all in all; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pensione Elio Pistolesi; City: Radda in Chianti Tuscany; Review: Booked this place directly with the owners. Knew before hand (it's a pensione, not a B&B) that breakfast wasn't included. Cost really wasn't that bad and the rooms were OK. The plumbing (welcome to Italy) was a disaster. The only problem - as described here - was that we had to make a toll-call to check in and the place was totally insecure. When we finally got old man Pistolesi, he told us it would be about two hours until we could check in - just left to pick our noses until then. The beds were your usual two inches of straw - but the biggest issue was that this place is only one (or two) floors above the only walking street in Radda. All sorts of VERY liquored up people at all hours of the evening (I'm talking 3 AM). If you have another option (e.g., if you aren't a starving backpacker), pick someplace else.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Blickinstal Barossa Valley Retreat; City: Tanunda Barossa Valley South Australia; Review: If you stay in the Barossa - stay at Blickinstal! Don't get sucked into paying money for a shi-shi hotel when the Blickinstal hospitality will floor you. Just make sure you get there for afternoon tea! Sue is a wonderful hostess and breakfast is phenomenal. The rooms are great - larger than your average B&B with the opportunity for "self-catering" as the Aussies say. The A/C - Heater in our room was a little noisy - but we just turned it off and slept like babes. Might be fixed by the time summer comes down under. Nice outside spaces including a BBQ and a track to walk around. The best in the valley.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Broomelea Bed Breakfast; City: Leura Blue Mountains New South Wales; Review: Stayed here one night with my wife. Bryan was a wonderful host and all of the rooms and shared rooms are beautifully appointed. The only negative (we stayed in the Conservatory Room) was that the bed was hideous. It was basically two single beds pushed together, which would have been fine, put the one on my side was convex. I had two choices - fall off the one side or slide into my wife. Why can't B&B's have decent mattresses? Avoid the Conservatory room if you are a couple unless you want to sleep like you are in a tent on the side of Kilamanjaro.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Southern Vales Bed Breakfast; City: McLaren Vale Greater Adelaide South Australia; Review: Wonderful visit and great hosts (Carol and Allan) - marvelous breakfast and a very nice room for a B&B in Australia at the price point. The location is great! Make sure you ask Allan about the chickens.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites; City: Odessa Texas; Review: Spent a week here on business. Room was dirty and the internet didn't work. Front desk staff couldn't have cared less. Lady who worked breakfast was nice, but the breakfast was abhorrent. It is a shame that places like this can prey on business travelers who have no choice when they travel to the oil boom.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur; City: Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: Second stay in two years continued to be plagued by lousy internet service. Amazingly poor in all areas, including the meeting rooms. Can't believe a modern, major business hotel can have such poor service. I was also originally assigned a poor room on a low flow, adjacent to the elevator. Making a request for a change got me a decent room - which always makes me wonder if they try to fob these low rooms off on people who don't make a noise. Hotel location is not much - the Pavilion Mall next door gets larger every year.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Sultan; City: Singapore; Review: The Sultan is a lovely boutique hotel constructed of a series of renovated shophouses. The rooms are mostly small (mine was a Japanese platform bed) but was all comfy. Solid wi-fi, good A/C, but breakfast left much to be desired. Overall location is good - proximal to MRT, Arab Street and Bugis; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Victoria Can Tho Resort; City: Can Tho Mekong Delta; Review: Almost a whistle-stop experience on the way to Cambodia. Would have liked to have more time to spend at the hotel. Service was good, with the exception of a complete disaster of a breakfast lounge with tours trying to make the boat to Phnom Penh. Lovely property.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Conrad Bangkok Hotel; City: Bangkok; Review: Enjoyed several nights in a lovely room in this hotel. Two basic problems - my wife is the Hilton Diamond member - but when I was at the desk, they talked around her. This always annoys. Staff was singularly unhelpful. Hailed us a cab and put us in to go to a classic and historic (e.g., easy to identify) restaurant - but the cabby took us to some place he was getting a commission from and refused to move. Had all the data to turn him in, but the hotel staff didn't really care. Food in the lounge was awful and the same each day for three. Ended up eating breakfast in the overcrowded restaurant the last two days. Also, the location is in the middle of nowehere. If you're going to the US or Japan Embassy, maybe - but you're never going to get a taxi to drop you off here from anywhere else in Bangkok.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Suites Charleston Historic District; City: Charleston South Caro; Review: Second long stay in several years ended up getting a fair exploration of many of the rooms in the hotel. A lot of the rooms are small with two double beds instead of two queens. Sleeping as a couple is tight on a double. Housekeeping for long stays not as attentive as you might like. Some of the climate control is not the best when it gets stinking hot outside. As others have mentioned, you can't beat the location. Place fills up with little kids and bachelorette parties on weekends.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Zi Martino; City: Castagneto Carducci Province of Livorno Tuscany; Review: Spent a week here as part of a Cinghiale Cycling tour. The staff of this place are the very best - they put in incredible hours for us and kept everything perfect. I will agree that the place has the worst WiFi I have ever seen and think Fausto should spring for a better system, but hey - you're on vacation...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Waterloo Cedar Valley; City: Waterloo Iowa; Review: Perfectly serviceable Hampton Inn location. One of the newer hotels in town and one of the newer layouts. Good excerise room. Staff is universally nice. Food is OK, but stays pretty close to the national model for such places.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: King s Pointe Waterpark Resort; City: Storm Lake Iowa; Review: Maybe the waterpark is something good, but the overall facility is dated (for example, they have gargantuan tube TVs) and is just one of those places where nothing seems to be right. Staying here in the late fall was just depressing. Had I known there was somewhere else I could stay, would likely have done so. Remarkably poor housekeeping, which was a bit frustrating.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Europa Regina Venice; City: Venice Veneto; Review: Stayed here as a Starwood Platinum. Prior reviews complained about the staff, who were great with us. The food was good, service for breakfast was nice. Room was well appointed - a little dated. On our visit we were one of the few non-Japanese present - seems to be popular with their booking agents.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Cesare; City: City of San Marino; Review: Not much to recommend even going to San Marino, but if you do - this is a nice hotel with a warm and friendly staff. The only negative is that it is on the main drag (although it is a pedestrian street). We were awakened by a load of wood being dumped across the street for the wood-fired oven restaurant. Sounded like the house was going to fall through.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Nuremberg City Hauptbahnhof; City: Nuremberg Middle Franconia Franconia B; Review: Nice hotel right near the city center. When we stayed there, the prices were amazing - about 20% lower than anything else around. Staff was very good and the location can't be beat. Rooms and breakfast were basic HIE stuff.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Bellevue Dresden; City: Dresden Saxony; Review: Enjoyed my second stay at the Westin Bellevue. The staff was very nice and the rooms were well appointed. Got an excellent upgrade as a Starwood Platinum. They were a little touchy with the late checkout, which was sort of unexpected.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Steigenberger Hotel Stadt Hamburg; City: Wismar Mecklenburg West Pomerania; Review: A charming little hotel in the city center of this bustling little seaport town. The hotel is well appointed and the staff were great. The rates were very reasonable, especially comparing comparable hotels in much larger cities.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Garden City; City: Garden City Kansas; Review: Clean hotel with good breakfast and nice staff. For some reason the hotel didn't have any black tea and despite my asking for it on Monday, didn't have it by the time I left on Thursday, which means they couldn't find the Target across the street.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Fairhope; City: Fairhope Alabama; Review: Enjoyed this hotel (have been in others in town). The price was right - the staff was ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT. Breakfast was good and the location is - well it is right where it is on the main road. Not a bad place for business travel, all in all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Pascagoula; City: Pascagoula Mississippi; Review: Stayed here on a Friday night. Have never seen such lackadaiscal employees. Really didn't seem to care if I were there or not. Saturday morning was not much better. Didn't bother to put out any of the usual stuff (water, coffee, tea, fruit) that you generally find in the lobby of a HGI. Not likely to ever be back, so not worrying about it now.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Pasco TriCities; City: Pasco Tri Cities Washington; Review: Have stayed here for two weeks in the past few months. Everything about this hotel is top notch. Great rooms and facilities and the staff is very attentive. Breakfast was very good and always plenty there. Highly recommend this for access to the Tri-Cities.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wingate by Wyndham Moses Lake; City: Moses Lake Washington; Review: Of course, this is a situational review - this is likely the best hotel in Moses Lake. The exercise room was a little shabby and could have used some weights and filtered water. The breakfast could use some work, but the rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. Relatively quiet for hotel on interstate.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Denver International Airport; City: Denver Colorado; Review: Adjacent to the Frontier Airlines offices, is a Frontier FA ghetto - once you get past them, it is a really nice place. Excellent exercise room, good breakfast, great rooms. Location - if you're needing to be near the airport, can't be beat. Staff was excellent.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: River Lodge and Grill; City: Boardman Oregon; Review: An odd rustic-looking facility, built along the river. Oddly shaped really large rooms, but much more convenient than any other location if you're working in the Boardman area. Staff is very nice and the surroundings couldn't be better.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Carlin Country Cottages; City: Calistoga Napa Valley California; Review: There's a bar in Calistoga which has a sign - "Free Beer, Topless Bartenders, False Advertising." The same should apply here - should be called Carlin "kind of in the sleazy, dirty part of donwtown across from the high school" Cottages and strip Motel - but that wouldn't fit on their sign. Paid more than I should have to stay in what was arguably their best room. Aside from the outrageous price, it was a fairly nice place to stay. It was kind of like a bed and breakfast with just the bed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Kailua Kona; City: Kailua Kona Island of Hawaii Hawaii; Review: Overall a nice hotel. Really should simply charge $10 more per night rather than nickeling you on the parking charge. Breakfast was mostly out-of-stock (might have been because we were here right after the Ironman), only yogurt was artificially sweetened - no fruit - coffee was atrocious. Sullen breakfast attendant was the only nasty staffer in the place. Don't really understand why she's there, except that she might own the place. Wi-fi cuts out intentionally when you try to stream video. Beds were way too soft.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites Richland; City: Richland Tri Cities Washington; Review: I often wondering if HIEX compete to find the slowest wireless internet. If that's the case, here's the winner in my mind. Also was put in room directly over fire pump which seemed to kick on every 15-20 minutes all through the night. Woke us up on a regular basis.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Coralville; City: Coralville Iowa; Review: Had a disappointing mid-week stay here for several days in November. As a IHG Platinum member I was put in the room directly over the entrance (I mean directly) and had both the glare of the spotlights and the door opening all night. Management seemed less than concerned. Housekeeping was sloppy and the breakfast bar was missing a number of items which are basic requirements in the HIEx play book.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Halvat Guesthouse; City: Sarajevo Sarajevo Canton; Review: Despite Sarajevo's winter fog, the family at Halvat provided us with great service and met our changing needs. Valida and all of her staff treat guests like family and deserve more than 5 stars. Breakfast was great and the costs were low. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Zagreb; City: Zagreb Central Croatia; Review: Although in a business park area just outside the Old City, the hotel is easily accessible by using the tram which runs in front. The staff here was very gracious and bent over backwards to help out. Not much of an upgrade for HHonors Diamond - but the breakfast more than made up for it. Only negative - really weird placement of the room TV right at the foot of the bed - no idea who thought of that.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Lexington; City: Lexington Nebraska; Review: Overall, a poor stay experience. Crappy room on the first floor, even though I checked in on a Sunday (empty hotel) and was a Platinum member. No interest in relocating me or even being marginally considerate. Very poor internet service - was essentially useless. Would stay elsewhere, but the only game in town.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Baltimore West Catonsville; City: Catonsville Maryland; Review: Nice hotel, the staff was really great to me. Breakfast was above the normal HiEx. y issue was some of the basic things - elevator was a disaster (glad at least one was working). Looked like they had deferred a lot of maintenance. Could go downhill fast.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel River Park a Luxury Collection Hotel Bratislava; City: Bratislava Bratislava Regi; Review: Wonderful modern hotel overlooking the Danube with classic SPG service. Everything was impeccable on our visit. Were upgraded to a huge suite - with about 20 m of window along the river. Wonderfully helpful staff - met our every need and then some. Would recommend again and again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Vienna Danube Waterfront; City: Vienna; Review: A nice enough hotel (lousy directions for parking - go through the hotel - as well as an interminable wait at the light at the corner). Far enough out of the city to require a 10-15 minute (depending on where you are going) Metro ride in. Staff was pretty grumpy and the breakfast buffet wasn't worth whatever they were charging. Also - Upon check-in, I received a "Voucher" which stated: "Executive Chef Konrad Zellner will be pleased to welcome you at the newly designed WATERFRONT KITCHEN. The innovative culinary conect ranges from Wild Culture char, Austrian filet steak from the alps to Viennese Schnitzel. With this VOUCHER you will receive an apertif at the WATERFRONT KITCHEN. Experience our delicious food selection and enjoy the panoramic Danube scenery." The German language version on the other side was substantially the same. On neither side of the voucher was it indicated that any purchase was required. In English, as in German (and the same word is used in German) an apertif is defined as "An alcoholic drink taken before a meal to stimulate the appetite." (In German: appetitanregendes alkoholisches Getränk). As such, I should have been entitled (as should my wife - we had two VOUCHERS) to a FREE before dinner drink. The staff at the WATERFRONT KITCHEN refused to honor this - saying that we needed to purchase a meal to take advantage of the VOUCHER. The front desk staff was equally unhelpful, telling me that an apertif was basically an appetizer (entirely different words, in German, vorspeise). In short, the hotel still owes me two drinks. Further, these vouchers should be discontinued if they are not going to honor what is written on them.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort; City: Puako Kohala Coast Island of Hawaii Hawaii; Review: For the money, I would have expected that they would have checked to see if the toilet flushed. The room I got (at their "business rate") was a walkout, lower level room with no view of much of anything. Was quiet, largely because it seemed to be empty when I was there.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Sacramento Natomas; City: Sacramento California; Review: Nice area of town to stay. Close to airport and plenty of new dining options. Clean comfortable room with nice staff. Would think this would be a great location for a long work stay. Good options all around.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Chicago Midway Airport; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: Worst customer service I've experienced at a Holiday Inn Express. Poor night's sleep and - of course- up too early the next AM. Had to wait about 40 minutes for shuttle from airport. Surly check in by person purporting to be general manager.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Magnolia Lake Columbia; City: Magnolia Arkansas; Review: This hotel has undergone a complete renovation, which is evidenced by the fact that it's lit up so you can see it three miles away. While the staff was nice, the bright lights made it difficult to sleep. Internet was sketchy - as per usual at HIEx. Most of the common spaces were pretty nice. The cost was pretty high given that there was hardly anyone staying in the hotel (seemed to be mostly long stay workers for local area business). Seems to me that the owners haven't caught up with the fact that oil prices are down and so is demand for their hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Hotel Le Donjon; City: Carcassonne Center Carcassonne Aude Occitanie; Review: I booked this hotel as it was the best cost/value location within the city walls of Carcasssonne. We ended up with a room in the building away from the main hotel (not bad in and of itself). It turned out to be quite noisy (especially in the AM as deliveries and such poured in), and a very - very small room. Although it was comfortable, the one thing I noticed was that there were several very nice hotels right along the walls of the city, which I really hadn't realized in my search.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Les Florets; City: Gigondas Vaucluse Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: A beautiful hotel - which does need a few upgrades - located in an isolated spot up the road from Gigondas. All that's well and good, but with a clientele that appeared to be about 80% non-French, would someone who could at least fake a little English be of some use? I think so. Issues with checking in and checking out, as well as dining.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chateau de Mazan; City: Mazan Vaucluse Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: Enjoyed several days here as a part of a bike tour (ubiquitous here, as you are in the shadow of Mont Ventoux). The staff was delightful and our room, in the adjacent building was large and well-appointed. With the exception of the silly internet with dozens of routers which needed to be logged into separately, it was a great visit. We enjoyed the breakfast and the ambience.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Louisville Northeast; City: Louisville Kentucky; Review: Poor customer service, hotel was under construction and as a Platinum Elite, I got the worst room in the place. There aren't words for how poor the overall quality of this place is. I stay in many hotels a year - few win my scorn so completely.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Langley; City: Langley City Langley British Columbia; Review: Nice hotel with a lot of amenities - check in person was sleep walking through it and getting my bill out of them was a hassle. Otherwise would have been five-stars. Full suite of amenities at the property.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Louisville East; City: Jeffersontown Kentucky; Review: Roofers made stay pretty intolerable. Another HiEx that's lit up like a Christmas tree, effectively limiting sleep. Not on my return to list. Otherwise tolerable amenities for a HIEx. Not much more to say.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Vicksburg; City: Vicksburg Mississippi; Review: Easy to miss this place, over and over again as it is a tricky off-ramp. Not a bad place to stay - cheap enough for Vicksburg - and no casino next door, which is a bonus. Staff was very nice. Only negative - ran a hold on my credit card and kept it for a month.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Lebanon; City: Lebanon Indiana; Review: Right up against the interstate - kind of a noisy place. Breakfast begins too late if you're a real road warrior. Place had pretty much cleared out by the time I was up and out and the breakfast area was still dark. Way to save money, I guess.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Jasper; City: Jasper Indiana; Review: Great hotel in the back of beyond. If you're not there on business, not quite sure why you'd come, but this would be a great place to stay if you were there. Clean, well-appointed, good staff. Proximal to all of Jasper.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express South Haven; City: South Haven Van Buren County Michigan; Review: Very nice staff and pleasant facility as well as pretty good breakfast make this an good location for a week of work. Proximal to South Haven, but not overwhelmingly touristy. Best part? You can walk to the best ice cream on earth...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Les Jardins de la Livree; City: Villeneuve les Avignon Gard Occitanie; Review: Great little property within a charming village across the river from Avignon. Our host was wonderful and pampered us with service. Wish that I was able to enjoy the pool, but the weather was too cool for the weekend. If there were room for six-stars, I would give it here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: InterContinental Marseille Hotel Dieu; City: Marseille Bouches du Rhone Provence Alpes Cote d; Review: The Hotel Dieu is located at the top of a steep hill, there's only one way to get into the hotel by foot, which makes it remarkably inconvenient. Combine this with the fact that it is in a dodgy part of town, and that doesn't quite make up for the luxury of the hotel. In reality, Marseille is so grubby, I'd stay outside of the city.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Le Jas de Gordes; City: Gordes Luberon Vaucluse Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: Hotel constructed on a former farm. About a 10 minute (steep up and down) walk from town. Hotel does not have a restaurant, which does detract. Nice pool - somewhat odd little rooms (pretty tight for two). Gets a good crowd of cyclists.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Santa Fe Mexico City; City: Mexico City Central Mexico and Gulf Coast; Review: This is a pretty property - but it is plagued, especially at the food service side - but also a reception - by a bad case of Mexican sloth. For example, the Market restaurant, which was supposed to open at 6:30 AM wasn't even cleaned up from the night before at 7 and was barely open. Tried to use the Westin Lounge - both at evenings and AM wasn't even manned at the opening time. Given the western business surrounding Santa Fe, this really isn't acceptable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: AmericInn by Wyndham Park Rapids; City: Park Rapids Minnesota; Review: Unassuming two story hotel with a great staff and decent rates. Could do a bit more to improve (not much excitement at the breakfast bar), but overall the best bet within 40 miles of the location. Staff does make it good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Brockport; City: Brockport Finger Lakes New York; Review: This place is flawless. From the towels laid on the exercise equipment to the scones for breakfast, they break the mold of the basic Hampton Inn. Certainly catering to business people (not many tourists during the week on Rt 31 in Brockport), this is a fine hotel for the coin.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Pasadena Colorado Blvd; City: Pasadena California; Review: This is an aging hotel which is actually fronted by a strip mall. Rooms were older and oddly situated. Breakfast didn't start until well after 6:30. Overall not impressed, although the staff were nice. Parking oddly situated.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Baltimore West Catonsville; City: Catonsville Maryland; Review: Generally my go-to hotel in the Baltimore area - this weekend's stay was truly depressing. Breakfast bar has become emaciated - poor service from staff. Hotel was over-run by girls' softball team - they were very nice, but the hotel management couldn't keep the place clean and working well with the onslaught. Housekeeping was shoddy - front desk phone not answered. Typical overworked staff - not up to my usual visits. Likely looking for a new spot, despite 20+ nights in last 4 years.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Porterville; City: Porterville California; Review: At the gateway to Sequoia and Yosemite - a good place for a good night's sleep and a fair breakfast. Staff was personable and rooms were clean and comfy. A bit off the beaten path, but worth seeking out for the night.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Singen; City: Singen Baden Wurttemberg; Review: Excellent location if you want to explore the Rhine Falls, southern Switzerland or Lake Constance (Bodensee). Hotel had some minor faults which kept it from being pushed over the 5-star finish line. Could have used a bit more friendliness upfront during the mornings - night staff was fantastic. A/C didn't really work in my room - which seemed to be a common theme throughout my trip.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Duncanville; City: Duncanville Texas; Review: If Holiday Inn is looking for someone to ruin their brand - bring them here. Rooms were nasty. Not only was the housekeeping lousy (hair all over the place, etc), but my room had a Glade plug-in and a fragrance hockey puck in the vent of the AC. Not sure what they were trying to cover up - but one can only imagine it was not nice. The bed was u-shaped - probably should have been replaced 10 years ago. Don't get me started about the staff or the breakfast. Better options abound.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport; City: Frankfurt Hesse; Review: Note that the hotel is very poorly marked. The address provided by Hilton is just The Squaire - which is not as descriptive as possible - it is in the EAST side. The hotel was nice for an airport hotel. Was dead quiet even though we could see planes overflying the location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Seguin; City: Seguin Texas; Review: I travel all the time for work and am somewhat of a connoisseur of Hampton Inns. This one could have been nice, but for - poor housekeeping, outdated rooms, poor breakfast (all the yogurt was artificially sweetened - how much work does it take to buy something without aspartame?), broken treadmill in the exercise room, and general feel of a transportation worker dormitory. Other than that - pretty nice!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Homewood Suites by Hilton Chicago Downtown; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: Great location and nice suite rooms. Friendly staff all the way across. Breakfast leaves a bit to be desired - is that plain sort of Hampton Inn fare that wears. Location is great - across from the CTA Red Line and proximal to great restaurants, shopping, and downtown offices.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Renaissance Chicago Downtown Hotel; City: Chicago Illinois; Review: Got dumped into Staytion for breakfast- a true disappointment as the main and quite scenic restaurant was closed for a private event. I mean who closes the whole hotel’s breakfast spot for a private event?; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Amarillo West Medical Center; City: Amarillo Texas; Review: An aging Courtyard with a host of age-related problems. Built 20 years ago and rooms look like Stalin-era Soviet style. Road noise is oppressive - can’t imagine that newer hotels suffer this. Single ancient elevator, rusty bathtub, inoperative heating, uncomfortable beds with ratty sheets. Just a cornucopia of fun. And - that was likely for an upgraded room as I am a Platinum elite. Hotel staff was inattentive and checkin process was thoroughly unfriendly. Given the other choices here - I would stay away until they renovate the joint.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: New York Palace Budapest; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: Stayed here for three nights as a Marriott (former SPG) Platinum Elite. Received no specific mention of this on check in aside from cursory question about points or F&B credit. Room certainly did not appear to be an upgrade. No personal note from the manager (which I think is de rigeur for a 5-star property). Turn down service was also cursory - no chocolates or anything of that sort. Maid didn’t replace soap with a fresh bar (at any time), nor were fresh shampoo/shower gel in room first day. Breakfast as has been noted by thousands of comments is in the bottom floor of the NY Cafe. To say it is a zoo on the weekends is an understatement. In reality (comparing breakfast options at established 5-star hotels), the breakfast is mediocre at best. Service to get even a cup of plain coffee takes forever and on Sat-Sun the buffet was constantly out of something. Seating placement in the basement is atrocious and claustrophobic. If you’re not under a low ceiling, you’re right in the way of the wait staff. I also call into question the hotel’s taste in guests as there was a webcam “model” “academy” featured at the hotel over the weekend as well - quite a tasteful group. Lastly, as this was part of the Boscolo chain, the TV had 14 channels of Italian garbage and the elevators amusingly spoke Italian. I would think you could get a new TV contract fairly quickly. Rooms were definitely done in Italian late ‘90s, not the best but not as bad as some of the comments seem to indicate.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sofitel Budapest Chain Bridge; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: Enjoyed a three night stay in a room with a nice river and Castle hill view. Room was too hot and the ventilation system couldn’t keep it cool. Bathroom was tiny, but serviceable. Room had only one power outlet and almost no lighting. Staff was gracious and efficient, but no turn down service and we were shunted to a second class breakfast in the ground floor restaurant (with a cook who couldn’t make eggs) instead of the regular breakfast buffet. Disappointed with that.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: DecoBREEZE Outdoor Misting Kit for Outdoor Fans; Brand: Deco Breeze; Review: Excited to receive this product I went about the directions, installing on a stainless steal outdoor fan I have on the patio. It snapped in to place perfectly, and thats all that went right. The flat fitting that is supposed to attach to the garden hose was sealed by a small O-ring. It did not fit securely, would not thread properly to two different garden hoses and leaked, not a little - a lot. Both ends of the hose that were to supply the water from the garden hose end to the mist ring leaked, not a little - a lot. I tried tightening the hose clamps on both ends to no avail. Which brings me to the "mist" ring. I was under the impression that when the water did get to the ring, it would be a mist - not a shower. I have a mist system on my patio that provides "mist". This unit provides a camp ground style shower. The holes in the misting caps are way to large to provide a mist of water. If I was a football player on the sidelines the mist might be suitable, not for providing a cool comforting mist for you guests on a patio settings. Save your money on this product and keep looking.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Hadley-Roma Men's MS3344RA 220 22-mm Genuine Silicone Diver Sport Watch Strap; Brand: Hadley Roma; Review: Bought this for my red Pebble Time and it looks great! The red is almost identical and to the casual eye, it probably is. It does seem a tad shorter than the band the watch came with but it's equally comfortable. The band fits perfectly but just be advised that you need to buy pins as this does not come with pins. I bought the 22mm 1.5mm thick pins. Now I wish I had gotten my Pebble in straight black so I could have taken advantage of the other colored bands like this one such as the yellow and black. Anyway, seems like a good band. I recommend it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Osprey Packs Nebula Daypack; Brand: Osprey; Review: I bought this bag with the intention of using it for weekend getaways and flights. I know it's called a "Daypack" but it does really seem to be something you could live out of for a few days if you packed efficiently. First, it has the right amount of compartments and pockets. Not too many and not too few. The rear compartment can easily hold my 13 inch Macbook Pro and my Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 tablet at the same time. The main compartment easily holds a packing cube (a suggestion from a youtube reviewer about how to efficiently pack clothes in this pack.) There's a small top/front compartment which works well for your phone. I put a Uniden BCD436HP in it without issue. The front compartment has ample space down to the bottom of the pack, a few pouches and a zippered area. The one thing I really look for above all else is a pack's weight distribution. Osprey has really done well in this respect. I also have the Daylite and they both feel very comfortable. A filled Nebula pack is comfortable and seems to rest further up your back. I just brought it on a flight from Boston to Chicago. I had no problem getting it through security and didn't wear me down on the walk to the gate. I've had a lot of bags over the years. This is the best one yet and I expect to get many years out of it. Osprey has a lifetime warranty so that's helpful. Hopefully, I'll never have to use it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Marino Mens Genuine Leather Ratchet Dress Belt with Open Linxx Buckle; Brand: ; Review: I wish I had known about these belts sooner. I've not been much of a belt buyer- usually just buying a cheap one at a chain store when needed. These belts have a very premium quality feel. The buckle is really nice. Some assembly required when it arrived to ensure the belt length was right. I cut it down a few inches to where I wanted it and attached the buckle. Took all of two minutes to be up and running. The ratchet system is easy to use, gives a lot of precision in terms of adjusting to any preference. I'll plan on buying additional belts from this company in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: And the Mountains Echoed; Author: Khaled Hosseini; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: Khaled Hosseini is indeed one of the best story teller and by reading 1st few pages only you get to feel it and just like his earlier two books you know you are heading for a great emotional journey. He knows how to touch very single cord of yours. But this time, he introduces too many characters and dedicate few chapters where few lines would have done justice esp that of Markos and Abdullah's step brother Iqbal. I started feeling agitated and eager to move on to know what happens with the main characters. It is still a definite read,if you have loved Hoesseini's previous two books.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Faster than Lightning: My Autobiography; Author: Usain Bolt; Genres: non-fiction, history, biography, historical fiction; Review: Bolt being one of the most celebrated sportsperson around makes his autobiography a must read for sports lovers irrespective of your interest in track & field. It is a well written book which gives you the insight into the early days of bolt and his journey to becoming the "living legend". It moves at an even pace and leaves you with a hope that bolt goes on to win medals in 2016 too.. Still I will rate it below "Open by Andre Agassi" which as per me is the best autobiography of a sportsperson* One should read this book to delve into the story of raw talent and equal hard work that makes Usain Bolt what he is today. * I could be very well biased here for my love for him and lawn tennis.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Sachin Tendulkar: The Man Cricket Loved Back; Author: ESPN Cricinfo; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: Its a very nice compilations of articles written by ex cricketers, cricinfo editors and various well known authors and sports journalists. As a Sachin fan, it will make you nostalgic because you were there.. either in the stadium or in front of TV sets when he played some unimaginable innings and achieved unassailable milestones... Non of the articles are new and you are bound to come across a plenty of already read articles..Still its a nice book to have as it has got few images of sachin capturing the rare moments..More pics would have done wonders for this book..; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata; Author: Devdutt Pattanaik; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Devdutt is easily one of my very very few favorite Indian authors..Jaya is his finest work..it gets you hooked from the moment you pick up from the shelf..This is easily the most interesting form of epic Mahabharata and also the one written after doing detailed research and study...

Title: Playing It My Way: My Autobiography; Author: Sachin Tendulkar; Genres: non-fiction, history, biography, historical fiction; Review: Read with low expectations n you will love it! it is not for the ones who were expecting huge revelations by Sachin in his autobiography.. but isnt it wrong to expect out of sachin who has always maintained a safe distance from the controversies..? It is for true Sachin fans who anyways remember Sachin's achievements n disappointments but would cherish them again coming straight from the master himself.. By the time I finished..I was as choked as I was when I heard his farewell speech for the first time.. it could have been shorter and crisper and also could have covered more controversial players n issues but at end its Sachin's autobiography and his wish about the topics to be a part of his story.. we all will miss you..

Title: Rixos Premium Belek; City: Belek Serik District Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at! The resort is huge and luxurious, located amidst lush forest and directly on the beach! The daily activities are great, the entertainment within the resort offers something for everybody no matter the age and the Rixos Royal Spa is one of the best in the world. Amazing food, very good service & attentive team who is eager to assist any way possible. It was however difficult at times to find somebody who was able to assist in English.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Kampen Hotell; City: Oslo Eastern Norway; Review: Very good location although there is not too much in the direct vicinity. Nice, adequate sized rooms with free WiFi. It was very quiet at night and the beds are comfortable and cozy. My rate included breakfast which was not the best but was not bad either! You are within a medium length walking distance from the city centre and the Munch Museum. It is definitely not a holiday destination but a great hotel for a city break or business stay! I really enjoyed my time there!!! The style of the hotel is very modern which is something you do not expect when first laying eyes on it. Like it though and the lobby is very nice and 'friendly' also.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Reykjavik Downtown HI Hostel; City: Reykjavik Capital Region; Review: The location is absolutely perfect, you can walk everywhere from here within the city.

Loved it there and will definitely go back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

The breakfast was however awesome and there is free Internet in the lobby area as well.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Brighton Lodge Guest House; City: Summerstrand Port Elizabeth Eastern Cape; Review: We had booked at Brighton Lodge over IMSA. The location is perfect, the room was very nice, the guesthouse as such is lovely, the breakfast was great and the service and hospitality was second to none. From being offered a bike stand to race day breakfast pre delivered to the room the night before, everything was lovingly arranged and taken into consideration all possible extra/special needs over this period. Not a single request was declined or seemed to be a hassle. What a fantastic stay!! Will definitely come back and recommend to anybody taking on IMSA next year!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Oppi Rotse; City: St Lucia KwaZulu Natal; Review: Nice basic accommodation, pleasant enough, general cleanliness is the one area that is lacking. The outdoor facilities such as the braai area, swimming pool and jacuzzi are great. The location is very good as well, away from the main street but still close enough to get around on foot. You might even see a hippo out on the road at night...; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Golden Tulip Al Jazira; City: Abu Dhabi Emirate of Abu Dhabi; Review: The rooms are very nice indeed and since the beach club was not yet operational for the season one could actually sleep throughout the night. The staff is very, very unfriendly and more than happy to make you understand that you are only adding to their workload. English is definitely not the language most of them understand which makes it very interesting whenever something is needed. The menu in the main restaurant is hilarious and we ended up ordering a dish only because we wanted to see what that would actually look like. The only reason we stayed here was because of the proximity to where we had to go.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Oceanic Khorfakkan Resort Spa; City: Khorfakkan; Review: What a great view, location and relaxing atmosphere. We went to get away from the city for a bit and we're greeting by ever so friendly and helpful colleagues. The room was very, very nice and although the hotel and adjacent villas are not yet entirely finished after the refurbishment it is well worth the visit. The pool is well maintained, so is the beach and the amount of guests still leaves more than enough sun loungers available for everybody. Will definitely be back!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah; City: Ras Al Khaimah Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah; Review: It took a while to get to the hotel but luckily the people of RAK were very helpful. Check in was smooth and all the benefits of our package were acknowledged which I found very good and reassuring. The rooms are great and very spacious. The colleagues are very friendly, helpful and proud of their hotel. The hardware of the hotel is absolutely stunning and the beach is nice as well. Unfortunately hotels along that beach are not into sharing, so walking along you get stopped by security, turning you around. The food was good, breakfast was fantastic! All in all, we will definitely go back and will recommend as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Golden Tulip Khatt Springs Resort Spa; City: Ras Al Khaimah Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah; Review: Just came back from a shocking stay at this hotel. Where to start? On arrival there was nobody to greet us, once the bell boy did come out, he was more than happy to watch us on load the car to then tell me where to park the car. Reception gave us the typical 'good day sir! Ah ma'am' greeting you get all to often here, but never in a 5 Star hotel. Nothing in the room worked, electricity was on and off the entire time we were there. You need a towel card for the pool, which would be fine, but you the need to sign in and out on top of it all. The safe didn't work either so we called security to get it fixed, which also meant signing two forms upon completion of the job. The hot springs, although a part of the hotel cost extra and are simply a hot pool (ladies and gents separate) with nothing else to offer. We then decided to enjoy the 'happy hours' offer from 4 -9pm in the bar, just to find the bar completely empty (staff wise) for a good 40 mins. We then managed to find somebody to serve us, who disappeared again right after. Every time we wanted something to drink we had to go find a waiter somewhere in the hotel... Staff there really couldn't care less! The view is nice, as long as you are looking into the distance, directly around the hotel things look more like a dump. We literally got up the next morning and fled the hotel. This was the first and the last time. At best I would give them 3 Stars. Spending a little more to stay at The Cove Rotana in this case is not considered luxury.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hotel El Puerto; City: Mundaka Province of Vizcaya Basque Country; Review: Great location, lovely view, parking close by, bar and breakfast is available on side as well as next door. Room was nice, spacious and the internet connection was good too. No significant noise to be heard during the night, other than people passing. The town is lovely and there is loads to see and explore. Too bad I only had one night there. Will definitely be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

About five bucks more for the 5 pound bag than a lot of FRC flavors, but it's still a great price per pound compared to anything in the stores. Highly recommended.

Title: Timex Men's Expedition Field Chronograph Watch; Brand: Timex; Review: Fantastic watch that keeps good time and is truly water resistant (I wore it while swimming in a lake, and it worked perfectly). I get compliments on how attractive the face is.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Samsonite Luggage Silhouette Sphere 26 Inch Spinner, Indigo Blue, One Size; Brand: Samsonite; Review: I've been using this for quite some time now, and it holds up great! One or two minor scuff marks on the exterior, but no damage despite approximately 50,000 miles of travel by air. I'd definitely buy it again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Merrell Men's All Out Blaze Stretch Hiking Shoe; Brand: Merrell; Review: Excellent and comfortable hiking shoes! They don't provide much ankle support, but that should be expected from low-rise shoes like this. The stretch design is extremely comfortable and keeps my foot in place so that I don't get blisters, even on long hikes. Soles grip extremely well on most surfaces, but be a little careful on smooth wet rocks -- they can slip. I would recommend these shoes without hesitation!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Merrell Men's Bare Access Ultra Trail Running Shoe; Brand: Merrell; Review: Great shoes, and very comfortable. Know that these are minimalist shoes, so they are made of lightweight materials. But the shoes seem to do the job well, and I am a believer in the zero-drop sole design. The tread is not aggressive, so this shoe is better for road running and the gym than it is for trails.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fast Compete Laces No-tie Reflective Elastic Button-Lock Shoelaces (2 Pair); Brand: Fast Compete Laces; Review: Great product! The push button securing mechanism works extremely well (better than some others I have tried before), and the laces appear to be of quality. The reflective material in the laces is noticeable at night with only minimal light - it definitely increases visibility when faced with headlights from passing cars. While I could figure things out, it would have been helpful had the manufacturer included instructions!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Merrell Men's Grassbow Air Trail Running Shoe; Brand: Merrell; Review: These are the single most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn! I purchased these to help support my feet through a combination of road and trail walking (about 25-30 miles per week). They were extremely comfortable out of the box, provided great ground "feel," and the tread - which is more aggressive than traditional running shoes - provided perfect traction. I love them - hopefully the sole won't wear too quickly!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: KFull 3 Kitchen Shears; Brand: KFull; Review: This is an excellent product that works as described. The button clasp holds tightly, which is something that I have found problematic with some other similar no-tie shoelaces. The laces themselves are also highly reflective. I am very happy, and five pairs of laces for this price is a good deal. My only suggestion: include instructions with the laces. Fortunately, I have used these type of laces before, so it was obvious to me. For those trying no-tie laces for the first time, though, there could be confusion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: PUMA Men's 6 Pack Quarter Crew Socks; Brand: ; Review: Love these socks. Well constructed, without seams that can rub and cause blisters. Quality fabric. Great all around!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Yahtzee Handheld Digital Game; Brand: Hasbro; Review: My husband and I have had several handheld Yahtzee games for over 20 years. When they started not working right I started hunting to replace them. I could not believe the prices!!! I suppose because they are becoming obsolete. All we wanted was to play the game without using a computer. Finally the other day I saw these on Amazon and decided to take a chance because it costs less that $10.00. We are happy!!! The size is great, it plays just like the older ones that now cost 10 times that much! Screen is bright, text is black and easy to see, buttons are responsive. I don't know how long it will last, but for now we are pleased and will probably buy a couple more for when this one quits working.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: CP Toys Kid-Sized 13-Piece Foam Safe Play Bowling Set – 10 Pins, 2 Bowling Balls, Positioning; Brand: Constructive Playthings; Review: We were disappointed in this set and would have sent it back, but you know how some kids are! He didn't want me to take it back. The bowling balls are heavy enough and have finger holes, the whole set is made of some type of memory foam type material on the outside. They would be great except that the bowling pins are not level on the bottom. All the adults were trying to squish and shape each one so the pins would at least stand up. Some of them did, and some didn't making it impossible to set the pins up properly. I bought this for my 7 year old Grandson based on reviews and I think customers need to know about this flaw so they do not purchase this set.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Gerber Bear Grylls Hands-Free Torch [31-001028]; Brand: Gerber; Review: With only 5-6 hr runtime and lacking a strobe function as well as any claimed waterproofing standard, I would not buy this. I will say that a single AAA battery is nice but not a good enough trade off for what it lacks for a headlamp with Bear Grylls name on it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Husky 1000 039 344 8-in-1 Star Precision Screwdriver Set; Brand: Husky; Review: Decent enough for light use but considering any Home Depot sells the exact same thing for $6 , these sellers are a rip off.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Bug Off 60 by 80 Instant Screen, Fits Some French Doors and 10-Foot Sliding Glass Doors; Brand: Wolf & Moon Products, Inc.; Review: $15 screen for $39. Only 2 magnets along the entire screen and very weak magnets as well. Plan on buying more magnets to glue on screen and perhaps a few more Velcro strips to use also to hold the sides tight against the frame. Not worth returning, although tempting. I am going to use a few more magnets to help this overpriced item. I have never felt so ripped off from anything purchased from Amazon until now. If I would have paid $15 or $20 then I would rate this a star or two higher.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Olson Saw SP46300 Spiral Scroll Saw Blade; Brand: OLSON SAW; Review: These blades work fine with any saw accepting pinless blades. If you have not used these or are new to scrolling, buy the flat end spiral blades, they iinstall much easier and hold better when in use. It is obvious that several reviewers have never used flat end blades.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: PowRyte Medium Stroke Air Hammer with 4 Chisels; Brand: PowRyte; Review: Would not run. 90psi, oiled but air blows through the trigger area and the trigger just flops around with no pressure. Should have known better than to trust a project timeline to this cheap tool.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Discovery Expedition Entertainment Projector; Brand: Discovery; Review: Please note, the following review is meant to be as detailed and objective as possible. There is a summary at the bottom. Purchased: 12/19/12 Location: Grocery Outlet, Ellensburg, WA Cost: $60 Writer's background with projectors: Minimal usage during school events for the last five years. I've had this running nonstop for a few hours now, watching TV shows and skipping through a few movies. I cannot give an estimate for life for this. Most of the time spent with this has been approximately 7' away from a light khaki, textured wall. When holding white flat sheet paper as the background the image improved dramatically, however I did not have enough available to build an adequate screen. Picture: I've read this uses a 50 watt bulb. When you first start it up, if there is no input, it is a completely black screen. This put me off a little until I plugged it into an xbox, to which the projected area lit up pretty well. There is an adjustable brightness which seems adequate. The first test was a game of Halo Reach with the picture on the ceiling, which while somewhat blurry I was still able to play fairly well. Text was only somewhat readable. I then moved the system to display on the wall beside my TV. From about 7' I get a picture about 4' wide. [There is an adjustable lens on the front which provides acceptable focus for the system.] I do seem to have a grouping of approximately 6 pixels stuck on black in the mid bottom right. It is unnoticeable in everything but bright movies, and is sometimes fixable on LCDs (requires opening the unit.) When playing Finding Nemo, it seems that the vibrant colors kind of drown each other out. Example, at the end when Nemo and his dad hug, you can hardly see any facial features, just an orange blob with semi detailed white stripes. When playing a darker/real movie like Harry Potter, for example, it blends very well and is quite acceptable to watch. Just keep in mind that this is a low resolution projector, and while not "grainy", you can see the individual pixels clearly when focused properly. Also note that contrast does not work well for very vibrant movies. Audio: Audio is a cheap, single speaker towards the front of the unit. It sounds slightly hollow but it more than enough for general video watching, and volume at half way is quite fine while sitting a few feet behind it. However, external speakers would be recommended for a cheap home system. The fan is quite loud and is kind of giving me a headache as I watch movies. Children might be more immune to this. Summary Video can be slightly pixelated, but focuses and is bright enough for the price. Low resolution and low contrast makes it impractical for any serious movie watching, but it may be used effectively as a mobile, children's, or outdoors unit, especially for the expendable price. The mono audio is enough to fill a small room, and acceptable; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Pandaoo U8 Bluetooth Smart Watch for Android Smartphones - Black; Brand: Pandaoo; Review: I knew it would have some issues before getting it, but my friend's U8 works much better than the one I received. Only a couple features work correctly, and I assumed the sleep monitor would at least justify the cost, but in the end it's pretty much just a timer. Get 7 hours of bad, tossing, turning sleep, even get up and read a or work on a project downstairs, and it still says I got start to finish deep sleep. Pros: Controlled my computer's media program.

Cons: Switches automatically when a device turns on.* This may be a pro for some, but with a WiiU in the house, every 30 minutes (or less) it will switch to the WiiU which is checking for updates. Absolutely maddening while watching movies, so I just have to unplug my roommtes Wii constantly.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: ALUNAR 12v Bluetooth Car Audio Stereo System Mp3 Player Radio in Dash One Din 1 Din With USB AUX Input; Brand: ALUNAR; Review: Cheap, works well, a little on the light side.

Title: Allstar Product SN061106 Snuggie Fleece Blanket Sleeves - Pink; Brand: Snuggie; Review: People are leaving silly complaints about snuggies. This particular snuggie is great.

But, it is perfect for me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Charlie Brown Christmas Tree with Blanket 24" Tall (Non-Musical); Brand: Peanuts; Review: If you are a Charlie Brown fan like I am, then you will love this cute little tree. It is a bit cheaply made (the trunk and branches are brown tape, and the blanket is more a sliver of flannel), but the look of the tree once put together is the Charlie Browniest!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Snuggie Fleece Blanket with Sleeves, Peace; Brand: Snuggie; Review: My dad loves this. I think he particularly likes the camo print. This one even has pockets! The price is also definitely right. The thickness is perfect for chilly Georgia evenings in front of the TV.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: InterDesign Chevron Soft Closet Storage - Hanging Shelf with Two Compartments for Wire Shelving Systems, Taupe/Natural; Brand: InterDesign; Review: These drawers are very handy.

Title: Homasy Portable Mini; Brand: Homasy; Review: We use this dehumidifier in our master bathroom. During a shower/bath, we use the exhaust fan but we found that mildew still appeared on the walls. So, now we plug this in for a couple of hours to draw more moisture out of the room. It is very quiet. The unit does have an auto-off when the reservoir is full. But, there is no way to have it shut off automatically otherwise. For our small bathroom, this dehumidifier does the trick. Towels, sponges, etc. are able to dry overnight in the bathroom.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dirt Devil Steam Mop 3-in-1 Versa Steam Cleaner PD20100; Brand: Dirt Devil; Review: I have sensitive skin, and many cleaning products irritate my skin. But, good old water doesn't! And this steam mop is great for the tile floors in my kitchen and bathrooms; I've even used this to clean out the bathtub (and that ring around the tub disappears with little to no scrubbing and/or bending over on my part) and to clean the tile walls of the shower. I'm very pleased with the performance of this item for the price that I paid. I have not tried this on carpet, even though there is a head included that can be used on carpets and hardwood.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Space in the Heart; Author: Visit Amazon's Rodney Walther Page; Review: Space in the Heart is a really great read, a true page-turner, that was even better than his first novel, Broken Laces. It is a truly heart warming story that would make a great Christmas gift for all ages. It is a story of the challenges of fatherhood and dealing this great loss and guilt. Highly recommended! I can hardly wait for Walther's next book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Run, Brother, Run: A Memoir of a Murder in My Family; Author: Visit Amazon's David Berg Page; Review: The book was recommended by a friend of the author and I expected it to be a story focused on the crime and trial, but it was an incredibly insightful look into the Berg family and the dynamics of the era. I hope David Berg has another book in him!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Finisher (Vega Jane, Book 1); Author: Visit Amazon's David Baldacci Page; Review: So disappointed.

Title: President Hotel; City: Moscow Central Russia; Review: The hotel belongs to the State and it's access is controlled by them. If you are not in the list, or you do not have a room key with you, you are not allowed to enter. They wanted to charge 450 usd for a double room, which is incredibly abusive. It is a conference hotel. So, if you are staying for leisure, you may want to stay somewhere else. For conference is ok. Old hotel, but clean. Well located, just close to the entrance of the Gorkin park and the sculpture museum/park. Close to supermarkets, bank and metro station.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Taleon Imperial Hotel; City: St Petersburg Northwestern District; Review: The hotel is quite well located. Great breakfast! You can actually see the sun rising from the restaurant, which is beautiful. We have had problems with our room due to a lack of hot water, but they managed to upgrade us to another room in the following day. The spa is also wonderful! Really worth staying there. Their staff can speak English and they are quite friendly.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Metropol Moscow; City: Moscow Central Russia; Review: I have to start evaluating this hotel by saying that their staff was incredible nice. everything that I would ask I would have a reply as "yes of course". we never had a no as an answer. That breakfast was absolutely perfect. my room was okay but the great thing about my bedroom was that I could actually almost touch the Red Square by my window. The next time I visit Moscow I will definitely consider staying in this hotel again. once again, I strongly advise you to do the same. enjoy!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Medindi Manor; City: Rosebank Western Cape; Review: This kind ok a boutique guest house, incredible comfortable, nice towels and sheets, beautiful bedroom and an amazing garden. They even have a swimming pool outside for hot days. The wifi works fine and the staff is so friendly!! It is not located at the water front and you must get a taxi (around USd 12-15) if you want to go. It is close to the UCT and airport and the neighborhood has a few restaurants around. Nothing fancy, but a quite good Thai food on the corner. This area is residential. The price of Medindi is what we call "a great cost benefit" with more benefits :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Johannesburg The Rosebank; City: Johannesburg Greater Johannesburg Gauteng; Review: This is the second time I stay at this hotel, this year. The hotel is good, well located, very close to the Rosebank mall (02 blocks). The food at the hotel's restaurants are good and breakfast is very nice. The staff is quite friendly, you may notice that they need some training. However, I have the impression they are there really trying to do their best. A few comments related to fail in towels and amenities replacements. But ok. The spa located by the swimming pool is very good and if you have the time, don't miss their massage. Is really worth it! Internet is free for guests in the first hour. You may consider buying one of their daily packages for this service. As I said, this was my second time here at this hotel. I would certainly return for the third time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Morrison a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel; City: Dublin County Dublin; Review: The hotel is quite well located, walking distance from the Temple Bar, O'Conell st., it's shops, the mall, banks, etc. They also offer a quite good breakfast, and the staff is friendly and willing to help. The internet works fine and the warm cookies offered on your check in is a plus ❤️. The restaurant at the hotel is all right too...if you get a room in front of the river you will have a wonderful view. I would certainly stay there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Everest Rio Hotel; City: Rio de Janeiro State of Rio de Janeiro; Review: Very well located, only one block from the beach in Ipanema. The top floor where the restaurant is located has this wonderful view! You can actually see the ocean and the Lagoon. Bedrooms are fine, you should choose the renovated ones. Prices may not be so attractive, but considering that Rio is such an expensive city nowadays and that Ipanema is one of the most fancy areas... Well... There are pretty much of everything around: shops, restaurants, malls, fair, drugstore, buses, metro and taxis. I would certainly go back. Wifi works fine too. The breakfast could be better, but if you enjoy fruits, you are ok. There are several types! Plus bread and average stuff. Not bad, but it could be better, as I said. Enjoy!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

A week after moving here, my engine started making a weird noise. I took it to Meineke. Turned out to be a leak and two hoses needed to be replaced. They got everything replaced quickly but thoroughly. I need to go back for rotors and will be going back to Meineke. The staff is friendly and honest.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Meineke Car Care Center; City: Greenwood, IN; Review: I had gone to this place several times since moving to Greenwood a few years ago. I had always been satisfied with the work. However, the last time I took my car in was a complete disaster. I went in for what turned out to be a sensor issue. I also had the heater core replaced as well. Not only did it take them a whole week to complete, but when I picked the car up, there was still no heat. I discovered that one reason is because the part that's supposed to be behind the temperature control knob was hanging off to the side and still on "C". There was also a pair of pliers right next to it. Also, when changing from defrost to cabin and back, it would not change back to defrost. I took it back four days later. Just a few days later when I called to check on my car, they basically said that I'd either need a new head gasket or new engine. Since the car was over 18 years old, I declined and was going to use the car for a trade-in for another car. But when I went to get the car, something happened to where they ended up having to tow it back to my place. Given that my car worked before I took it in and now is dead, I told them I wanted a refund. After, they told me to call the corporate number and someone from there said no refunds but they would "help" with the cost of a new engine and would give me an estimate. Apparently they want me to shell out more money! Needless to say I'm not going back.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

If you never tried Thai tea, let me tell you it is very good. The atmosphere is very beautiful and relaxed. For the price of the food, you get plenty of it. You will need to ask for a take home box for some of it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: MCL Restaurant & Bakery; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: An friend and went here before a football game for lunch. As busy as they were, the line went very quick. There is plenty of food options to choose from. The chicken is very good and juicy, the mac and cheese is to die for, and the pumpkin cheesecake is a must have. It's a tad bit pricey, but worth it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Emmanuel Church - Greenwood; City: Greenwood, IN; Review: One of the many things I love about this church is that there are different options for seeing the service. Not only do they have two Sunday morning services that you can watch online, but they also have two Saturday evening services as well. The music is always great and uplifting. The messages are very relevant to today's times and for everyone. This is a church where everyone is truly welcomed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: JC Penney Salon; City: Greenwood, IN; Review: This is the best place. I started coming here after moving to the area. Tara is so great with my hair. It always looks great after she get it shampooed, cut and styled. Even great with the eyebrow waxing. Not just her, but another stylist who's name I wish I could remember was a big help when Tara was on leave and I had a bit of an emergency thanks to a home hair coloring gone wrong. She saved my hair and did a great coloring a few weeks later. There's another stylist there who is wonderful with seniors. I wish I knew his name. I highly recommend this place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I stopped in here to get my brother pieces for a game for Christmas. I didn't know where to even start looking. The guy behind the counter was a huge help. I was able to find what I was looking for. When I was in there there were people at tables playing what looked like Magic the Gathering.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Half Price Books; City: Greenwood, IN; Review: While I do ebooks these days, the rest of my family still prefers regular books. This place is perfect for finding gifts for my family. They not only have a massive amount of both new and used books, but also gift items such as Pop figures, music, video games, and stationary. When it comes to selling items, how much you get back largely depends on the demand of the items. The newer the item the more likely you'll get a good amount of money from it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Five Below; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: This is one of my favorite stores to shop in. One would be amazed at what you can find here. When I was recently on a reorganizing kick, I was able to get great organizer baskets and hanging shelves. I also love the selection of cell phone accessories as well as snacks and candy. While the cosmetics section can stand to be expanded, I love coming here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Aerie; City: Greenwood, IN; Review: Since I keep hearing rumors that my usual place I get my undergarments may be closing in the near future, I went in here to see what they have. While they have an overall decent selection, their size range leaves much to be desired. Those who are bigger on top will probably not find their bra size here since cup sizes only go up to a D. At least I was greeted by staff when I went in.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dollar Tree; City: Greenwood, IN; Review: While the staff is friendly and helpful, the store itself looks like a tornado went through it.

My waiter promptly came with a menu and chips and salsa as well as gave me plenty of time to decide what to have. Once I decided, my food was brought out very quickly. The taco salad is very good. This is a great place to go. I will be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: DicaPac WP410 (10.5x16.0cm) Small Zoom Alfa Waterproof Digital Camera Case with Optical Lens (Clear); Brand: DiCAPac; Review: I live in HI and snorkel a lot in Sharks Cove (Pupukea). I took my Sony W90 p/s and put it in this pouch. It wasn't a snug fit so I got some rolled-up cardboard to use as spacers and place one roll under the camera and another shorter roll on the side. This allowed the camera lens to align perfectly with the pouch lens opening. Once camera was inside, buttons were a little difficult to press ONLY because they are small and of course never designed to be operated through a thick plastic pouch. Underwater, I had to crank the LCD brightness to full so I could view what I was photographing (not the pouch fault - which is clear). The camera's auto white balance adjusted fine to shooting underwater. Tip: turn on the flash when shooting still pics underwater to banish the overly-blue cast (blue light travels further underwater, giving everything a blue hue). The pouch is of course waterproof and it floats, so no need for an expensive floating strap. Best $20 I spent on a camera.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Super Hi-Capacity 7800mAh/87Wh, 11.1V, 9 cells/Samsung cell, Laptop Battery BATEFL50L6C40, BT.00604.001 for ACER Aspire 3050, 3680, 5570, Travelmate 3210,; Brand: DekCell; Review: Item arrived within a week of ordering, boxed and sealed inside a padded envelope. What can I say? It's a laptop battery! It's the highest capacity batt I could find on Amazon.com for my Acer Aspire 3680. Built to top-quality standards: no loose seams, etc. BE AWARE this batt sticks out of the back of the laptop, to accommodate all the cells packed into it. Sadly, the Aspire 3680 isn't known for good power management and even with this 7800mah batt, uptime is only 4 hours (4.5 if you pray, turn off the wifi, and dim the screen to 50%). The price was right and is OEM quality. Have had this batt for almost a year already and no issues. I recommend this batt and this seller.//; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lenovo ThinkPad T61 7658 Notebook; Brand: Lenovo; Review: I did not buy this laptop through Amazon but I wanted to share my thoughts here. I'm a poor counselor, living from paycheck to paycheck in highest-in-the-nation-cost-of-living state of Hawaii, and in college working toward my MSW. I needed a robust laptop to put up with college/work/personal life so I bought this T61 from a refurbisher for $130. It came with Win7, 80GB HDD, 2GB RAM and integrated graphics. Key tops were half-worn on the Home row and the LCD is wobbly from worn hinges. When closed, there is still a bit of play with the lid not latching down tightly. 6 years of existence and the laptop does creak a little on sides. I'm not complaining as this is a used T61 and I didn't expect roses. I upgraded the HDD and RAM and installed Windows 8. The T61 boots/runs faster with all the upgrades. The non-glare LCD is easy on the eyes, although dimmer than other non-glare LCD's I've seen (this is likely not due to age, since I read similar comments written back in 2007 when the T61 was first released). The touchpad is the smallest I've ever come across on any laptop and took me a while to get accustomed to. The T61's Trackpoint is a relic from the 1990s and I feel is outdated as a mouse control device and useless like a human appendix or a vestigal tail is. Lenovo still insisted to include it (and still does to this day) apparently to keep Trackpoint fans happy. The keyboard is louder/noiser and less firm than other keyboards I've used on other business/professional-grade laptops; however perfectly usable and comfortable to type on happily for hours without fatigue. Speakers aren't loud; a bit tinny to my ears but clear. The LCD lid's rubber coating mars easily but is easily cleaned up with a wiping of Windex. Contrary to another review written here, the lid itself is not solid magnesium: instead, it is a composite plastic (not carbon fiber) over a magnesium frame. Its construction still does the job in keeping it solid and near-flexible. The T61 is of the "thin-and-light" category when "thin-and-light" was defined at around 4-5lbs (the weight of this T61 is 5.2lbs with the stock batt). I got a new 7800mah batt off Amazon.com ($25) which bumps the weight up past 6lbs. Thin, yes. Light? No. Incidentally, batt life is 9+ hours with this new 7800mah batt under Win8 and in Power Saver mode, wifi off, and LCD dimmed to 50%. My T61 is good, solid-feeling (and solid-looking) laptop. Everything just works. The T61's early-1990's conservative looks, severely angular lines and all-black color make it look either 20+ years old or modern and contemporary, depending on who's eyeing it (I just think it looks "classic"). Other resellers sell T61's with better specs for up to $400 (and likely in better condition than mine) but I'm happy with the one I got and the price I paid for it. //; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hisense M470BSA Sero 7 Pro (7" Android 8 GB) Tablet; Brand: Hisense; Review: UPDATE 8/2014 So after 9 months of using this tablet, the power button and USB jack are finicky. Sometimes I'll press and press on the power button to get it to turn on, and nothing. Sometimes it will come on with no effort at all. The USB jack - same thing. The connection has gotten loose and I have to jiggle the USB cord to get it to charge. Battery life still holding on at about 4-6 hrs continuous surfing via wifi. LCD is holding up OK. This tablet was already coming apart when I bought it new, and now it is failing. I am dismayed that this tablet won a few Editor's Choice awards, and disappointed that I bought it on the basis of these positive endorsements. Buyer Beware. ORIGINAL REVIEW 12/2013 This is a review for the HiSense Sero 7 PRO tablet! There is a lesser Sero 7 tablet which sells for cheaper and with lower specs. Again this is a review of the PRO version. I am a college student, and I bought this tablet primarily to view my professors' PDF and PowerPoint slides; and for general web browsing, YouTube viewing, and email. I was getting tired of hauling my big heavy laptop to classes just for these things. First, the reality is this tablet does NOT, repeat NOT, last 12-15 hours under heavy web video-streaming wifi use, as another reviewer has noted. Not even close. More like 3-4 hours under this kind of extreme heavy load. The tablet is rated for about 8-9 hours and I can get close to this if all I do is read my downloaded books and leave wifi off. BUILD QUALITY IS POOR. I have one of these for myself, while my brother has another. Mines back case was LOUDLY CREAKING, flexing, and VISIBLY SEPARATING from the bezel on the sides, straight out of the box. While the build quality is poor, the build material is much better. The improperly-seated back case is textured, giving it some grip. The bronze color is nice. The front is one continuous sheet of glass with a large enough bezel to rest my fingers on without inadvertently pressing on the touchscreen itself. The LCD is 1280x800 which is HD territory. The glass is highly reflective and picks up smudges easily, but the LCD is bright enough to banish any visible fingerprints, even at its dimmest setting. And even at its dimmest setting, colors are bright but not washed out; everything including small 8-point text is rendered sharp and clear. At its brightest setting, the display looks absolutely great. The touchscreen is nicely sensitive and responsive. Hint: get a non-glare screen protector to banish both glare AND fingerprints. The stereo speakers are located on the bottom rear of the tablet and fire backward, so placing the tablet on carpet will muffle the sound. The speakers play loud and clear. Speech comes through very well. The audio jack outputs very well, coming through nice and loud and full-frequency through my headphones. The cameras are just fine for video-chatting and; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: AFUNTA Leather Case, 7-Inch, Black; Brand: AFUNTA; Review: Used with my HiSense Sero7 Pro tablet. The keyboard works fine with this tablet, however there is a keypress lag. It has Function keys on the top row that are useless on the Android OS (only used on Windows machines). A couple of keys popped off and I had to re-seat them. I have never gotten used to this keyboard because of its size so I don't even use it anymore. The keyboard is too small even for my small Filipino hands. The on-screen virtual keyboard is better to type on that this keyboard.//; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Poetic Slimbook Case for Hisense Sero 7 Pro Tablet Black (3 Year Manufacturer Warranty From Poetic); Brand: Poetic; Review: Bought for my Sero 7 Pro. Holds my tablet snug.

Title: Sony BDP-S480 Blu-ray Disc Player (Black) (2011 Model); Brand: Sony; Review: Another late review for a now 3 y/o product. Bought this from Best Buy for $124 when I moved into my Mililani apt. At the time I had a Sony Trinitron CRT TV to hook it up to, but considering all I had to play were DVDs, movies looked great on it (the TV is 480p resolution, exactly matching DVD resolution). Soon after I got Amazon Prime and streamed a whole bunch of movies and TV shows which I recorded to my VHS deck to watch later. Poor man's TiVo. I only stream Amazon Prime and YouTube. I don't have subscriptions to Netflix or anything similar. I don't like the UI, which is linear. I have to go thru each selection sequentially to get to the particular function, setting or channel I want. This may have worked well enough on a PSP (exact same UI) but not when channel-surfing. The web browser, as another reviewer mentioned, is a disaster. Really, it is. Almost unusable, actually. I am not exaggerating. Sony has updated this player a few times since I got it with no discernable improvements to the unit's functionality, and certainly not to its browser. Because its browser is slow, unwieldy, and most of the time unresponsive. When pages do load, they are oddly formatted. Links don't work. And good luck trying to back out of these poorly rendered sites. My 15 y/o laptop running XP SP1 and Firefox 3.6 is a far superior experience than what this unit offers - and that is saying tons. Anyone got a portable minidisc player? Plug it into one of this player's USB ports (one in front and another in the back) and music tracks are recognized instantly. Hey, at least I can put my old MD player to use again. Music copied to a USB stick, however, is hit-or-miss. I do have a HDMI-capable flatscreen and the quality difference between component video and HDMI is clearly discernable. Component video is great, but HDMI is just damn excellent. My friend hooks up his BD player (same model) to his HD flatscreen TV via component cables and he thinks the images are somehow superior to HDMI - it isn't. As others have mentioned, forgo the included remote and just download the remote control app. The app comes with keyboard functionality, which is so much easier to type with vs the alphanumeric pad on the remote. Ugh. Best to use the app on a tablet because you have use of a much larger keyboard to use (which allows easy typing with thumbs).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sony MZ-NH600D Hi-MD MiniDisc Walkman; Brand: Sony; Review: Ahhh here I am again, reviewing an old tech toy which I first fell in love with back in 2004. By 2004, HDD and flash players were already on the scene, but I figured it would be economical to invest in a HiMD player, because it had unlimited storage via removable minidiscs. Why get locked into a HDD/flash player with finite space? This was Sony's first HiMD player, which utilized the new 1GB MDs and could not only play, but record. I can't recall what I paid for it but it must have been a lot; I believe I bought it at Circuit City. Funny, though: in the past decade I've hardly used it. I was still into making cassette mixtapes for my truck (long after THAT technology had faded into obscurity). I wasn't completely sold on the fidelity of ATRAC (or MP3, or any digital compression technique). I toyed with my HiMD player here and there, and occasionally used it as a removable storage device for my computers. So why am I playing with it again? Because I resurrected an old laptop and I wanted to listen to some music on it. It's too slow for iTunes, and Windows Media Player is also kinda pokey. But the HiMD's included SonicStage music application runs on it pretty decent, so I figure what the hell, I'll break out the old player as well. I never liked the bulk of this player. My gf's Philips flash player was much more svelte. It was great it could run forever on a single AA batt. The really odd rotary/toggle/button control for playback is wonky, matched by the inadequate 3-line LCD which looked so dated in 2004 (it looks like a surplus display from 1984). MDs are nearly square pieces of plastic that from what I've read, will safeguard whatever's on for like, 100 years. This is prolly the most redeeming thing about MDs - the worst being that same square shape, which gave me a 1-in-4 chance I'd insert it correctly into the player itself. MDs are electro-mechanical devices, requring the MD to spin up so it can be read. As such, startup and access times are a bit delayed compared to what's expected from a flash player. Another reviewer said that this player won't play back MP3's directly. Sure it can. It just has to be transferred via the SonicStage software. It doesn't convert my existing MP3's to ATRAC's. Never did. Nothing to comment on it's fidelity - being a Sony, it sounds great. btw, $150 for a used unit is ridiculous. I have found these at the local thrift stores for less than $5, along with blank MD's. Let's get realistic here: for this amount of money I can get myself a good used iPod Touch with a nicer screen, wifi capability and a superior user interface than this unit offers. AND full access to the Apple app store (Sony Music Connect? Defunct in 2008).; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Dell Latitude E4310 Core i5-540M Dual-Core 2.53GHz 4GB 250GB DVD±RW 13.3" WLED Windows 7 Professional w/6-Cell & Bluetooth; Brand: Dell; Review: 5 September 2014 This is a review of a used 4 y/o Dell Latitude e4310 business-class laptop, made in 2010, and the condition/functioning I received it in (anyone wanting to know its specs and features, please Google the many professional reviews on this laptop from 2010). Pros: The aluminum lid and magnesium alloy base means the exterior has remained scuff and scratch -free even after nearly 4 years of use; 1st-generation Intel Core i5 CPU easily handles today's demands; laptop's styling is still contemporary, modern, conservative; keyboard is quiet and comfortable. Cons: At almost 4 years old, the keyboard was malfunctioning, which also affected trackpad functioning Verdict: $200+ will get you a 4 y/o sophisticated-looking laptop with possibly some keyboard and trackpad issues - ask the reseller about these problem areas. I bought this lappy off Amazon.com in late August 2014 from a seller by the name of TexasDiscountElectronics. I paid out $242 which included cheap USPS 1 week shipping to Hawaii. The seller included a new Dell charger and matching new Dell bag. The lappy was packed in the bag itself and the bag in a plain brown box with no other padding. No backup discs/install CDs were included. No sales receipt was included by the seller. CONDITION AS RECEIVED The seller advertised the e3410 as a used, "Like New" unit, which can mean anything to anyone. In this case, my e4310 arrived clean and dust-free, with no visible scuffs or scratches to the aluminum lid or anywhere else. The keyboard wasn't worn and didn't even look used (burnished keytops would have been a giveaway). The palmrests were in equally un-worn shape. The one part of the lappy that looked worn was the rubber feet, which were clearly worn and the Windows validation sticker and Dell product sticker rubbed (not faded) to obscurity. I surmise this kind of wear might have been the result of being constantly slid into a docking station. Otherwise the underside (made of magnesium alloy) was free of cosmetic damage. The non-glare LCD was scratch-free and bright, and the hinges were snug and tight (not wobbly in the slightest bit). Webcam and speakers worked like they should, as did all the ports (USB, headphone/microphone jack, VGA-out port, ExpressCard port, memory card reader). The lappy came with a stock OEM 6-cell 5600mah batt, which surprisingly after almost 4 years, held a decent charge (about 70% of original capacity). I knew it was the original batt because the manufacture date was around the same time as the manufacture date of the lappy (12/2010). The lappy was outfitted with 4GB RAM and a 256GB SSD. The seller had not advertised either of this; instead I had gone off Amazon's generic listed specs (same amount of RAM but an 80GB standard HDD). I was very happy to see my lappy come equipped with a larger-than-listed, power-conserving SSD, instead of a HDD. The lappy had Win7 Pro 64-bit edition installed, as well as Office 2007. It was a straight install from the original discs: the seller didn't run any OS, driver or; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: ASUS Transformer Book T100TA 10.1-inch Detachable Windows 8.1 Tablet; Brand: Asus; Review: Last month I accompanied my friend to buy a netbook: an Asus T100, a slick and sexy looking netbook, endowed with Windows 8.1 and Office 2013 - perfect for my friend who was gonna be entering college in the Fall. Perfect, right? Bought at the local Microsoft store (yah I know) here in Ala Moana Center for around $400. The entire package comes in at hundreds of bucks cheaper than a similarly-equipped Surface Pro with keyboard (as this would run over $1500). Apparently this has great appeal for those wanting a Surface Pro without the stupid-high price tag of one. Forget all that "hybrid 2-in-1" labeling. The T100 is a netbook, one with a detachable keyboard. Like all lappys of the netbook class, it runs off an Atom CPU; thankfully the current generation of Atom CPU's are able to handle web-browsing as good as lappys endowed with more powerful Core CPUs. The LCD is 10" - a typical netbook size - with a resolution of 1366x768. Everything shows up smaller at that resolution on a 10" LCD, but at least more info can be crammed on-screen to see. For those who are into looks (let's face it - laptops are a fashion statement as much as any smartphone) the T100 looks "girly" to me, particularly the dull red-colored one my friend picked up. With its soft rounded corners and textured lid, all one would need is to put a strap on it and it would look like a lady's expensive clutch. Yah, really. And guess what? This IS one big reason why my friend bought it. Battery life, which was a big deal to my friend, comes in at 12 hrs - wow. And that's with the wifi on. When Intel says them Atom CPUs consume low power, they mean it. Hardware-wise, where the T100 falls down is the keyboard, which even my friend quickly realized was not for extended typing. Sure, great for inputting the occasional password or typing in a search bar, but not for writing long college papers. It has the *power* to tackle a college paper or stream HD video. It can handle simple photo and video edits as well. It is built pretty tight. BUT UGH, THE KEYBOARD. It is one of those "island style" jobs, featuring tiny Chiclet-sized keys (although larger than some other netbooks and ultrabooks we checked out at the MS store). It makes for a cramped, unsatisfying experience. My friend and I have small Filipino hands. And both of us are unethusiastic about the keyboard. Not even a week into college and she decided not to tote it to school. Instead she continues to use the school lab computers, or the desktop PC she has at home. She even thought about returning it and getting a laptop with a decent keyboard. So sad. She didn't want a tablet; she wanted something she could type on. The T100 ain't it. To sum up, the Asus T100 is well-built, cheap alternative to Microsoft's Surface Pro. The keyboard is functional but not as the primary means; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Goliton Laptop Keyboard Protector Cover for DELL Latitude E5400, E5500, E4300 Series; Brand: Goliton; Review: Not as advertised. Does NOT fit the Dell Latitude e4310 (even though the product description says it fits the e4300 series which includes the e4310). The fit is incorrect for the Fn keys on the top row. Also, the keyboard skin is designed to cover an additional 3 keys on the upper right of the keyboard which does NOT exist on the e4310 keyboard. The seller sent me an email acknowledging their error in advertising and offered me a refund in exchange of removing my negative seller feedback. I appreciated their apology and their effort to resolve this situation, and removed my negative seller feedback (I honestly cannot blame the seller since even the packaging says it fits the e4300 series). However I feel it is necessary to point out the incorrect fit of this keyboard protector for other e4310 owners. The MANUFACTURER should be faulted for saying it fits, when it doesn't. The keyboard skin is NOT transparent but translucent. It is comfortable to the touch and mutes the already quiet Dell keyboard. Where the keyboard skin DOES fit, it fits perfectly - like a glove - which is why I am giving this product 5 stars (it would not be fair to rate this product lower on the basis of improper fit). The improper fit on the top row doesn't bother me (the skin still lays mostly flat on the keys, and I never use the Fn keys anyway). I declined the seller's offer of a refund and kept the item.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: [3-Pack] Supershieldz- Anti-Glare & Anti-Fingerprint (Matte) Screen Protector Shield for RCA Pro 10 Edition Tablet (RCT6103W46); Brand: Supershieldz; Review: Wow I am the first to review this item! Item came nicely shipped in a flat envelope and in original packaging. Price was right for the three-pack. Since the 10" RCA tablet is so big, it took a few tries to get the protector aligned to the edges of the screen, then a little more practice getting it on without trapping any bubbles underneath. After applying it halfway down the screen, I got the hang of it and it went on smoothly. The anti-glare surface really works, at the cost of just a little sharpness and brightness. The anti-glare surface (like all anti-glare protectors I've used) is also near resistant to fingerprints and smudges.

These are nicely constructed; not cheap or flimsy in any way. They are durable and looks like part of the camera once attached.

Title: Sony Alpha A700 12.24MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only); Brand: Sony; Review: I bought this SLR as a replacement to my Minolta 5D. I like its size and heft; its magnesium alloy body; and the fact it accepts Minolta lenses and accessories. The SLR, as large as it is, handles perfectly in my small Asian hands. The controls are well-placed and clearly labeled (white text on the black body). I like the fact that it's a Sony and so it stands out in a sea of cookie-cutter Nikons and Canons. The only thing I don't like about this SLR, is that it shoots overly warm under artificial light on Auto WB. The problem is very apparent under fluorescent lighting. The preset WB improve things, but color is still off. A manual WB corrects for this, but it's a hassle to do so. I bought this SLR from Adorama via Amazon.com for $260 and it was a steal, considering its condition (Adorama rated it good while I say it is in Very Good/Excellent condition).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sony VG-C70AM Alpha Vertical Grip (Retail Package); Brand: Sony; Review: Bought it for $94 from KEH via Amazon. The A700 is a hefty SLR already, but the grip doesn't add much weight at all. It does make the SLR a lot larger, though. The grip makes it easier to hold/balance the SLR. It allows for 2 batteries to double the shooting time. As a Sony-branded grip, it duplicates all the major controls on the main body. It has its own power switch so you can turn off its functions. It's built with the same magnesium alloy skin as the main body and integrates seamlessly with the main body, so it looks like single unit instead of an attachment. The SLR looks thoroughly professional with the grip attached.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

No problems as this particular flash is designed with low trigger voltage (6v) so as to not to fry modern digital cameras.

Title: Black Cool Aluminum Bracelet Watch Band Wrist Band for iPod Nano 6 Cover Case; Brand: Solid Dealio; Review: I actually received a genuine branded Lunatik wrist band, which is not specifically noted in the sales listing. The box was dated 2010 so maybe they are just getting rid of old stock. Hey, I ain't complaining, since these used to sell for $30-60 back in the day. The bracelet is wide - fat, I would say - but fits nicely and doesn't look so ridiculously large as other others look on my skinny wrist. What I don't like is that the iPod Nano 6-gen can't be mounted so that the face can be read up and down along the wristband. Because of the Nano's design, it must be mounted in such a way that the face must now be read up/down the direction of my wrist. The Nano's display can't be rotated. This is not a fault of the watch band. Anybody who still has a Nano 6-gen should def get one of these. People think I'm sporting the new Apple Watch.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Hey it's a 7800mah batt which was never offered until now, and it makes my lappy truly portable. The previous 4400mah batt only allowed for maybe a few hours runtime at most.

Title: Canon BGE1 Battery Grip for use with the Digital Rebel Camera; Brand: Canon; Review: I give this 5 stars because it's a genuine Canon accessory which fits my original 13 y/o Digital Rebel. My only b1tch here is that I was sold a broken grip. The tiny plastic nub that tells the camera that the grip is attached had broken off. I fooled the camera into thinking there was a grip attached, by sticking a bit of cardboard in the camera's sensor notch. I recommend this accessory if you want to add some bulk to the camera so u can hold it better. However I don't recommend this seller for selling me broken equipment.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Aqua Fantasy Aquapark Hotel Spa; City: Selcuk Izmir Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: We have just spent a week in Aqua Fantasy as a group of 4 adults and 2 children and I cannot begin to put into words how amazing it was. There is so much to do day and night and to say your in the "middle of nowhere" you really cannot tell as the hotel has all you need and more. The food is lovely and there is so much to choose from I didn't have the same meal twice. The staff are all friendly and so helpful and the place is absolutely spotless. The rooms are clean and spacious and have flat screen tv's which to be honest were never turned on as there is so much to do we simply didn't need them. Please ignore any bad reviews some people are just never happy but I can honestly say I don't have a bad word to say about the place it is absolutely excellent from start to finish. I was worried about taking my 22 month old daughter as I thought she may get restless and not enjoy it but the entertainment team worked so hard to cater for all ages, they literally worked non stop and she had the time of her life! I will deffinately be booking here again in the near future. Thank you first choice and Aqua Fantasy for making my little girls first holiday so special :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Manchester Deansgate; City: Manchester Greater Manchester England; Review: Impressive building and views but not worth the money we paid, room was clean and spacious, bed was comfy and the views across manchester were good but I wouldn't say our experience was anything special.

Title: Hotel Riu Tikida Dunas; City: Agadir Souss Massa Draa Region; Review: We have just returned from an 11 night stay at the tikida dunas and we didn't want to leave. The hotel is very clean and rooms are very spacious and the staff are very friendly. The pools are lovely and big and there's a great shallow part for the kids which my nearly 3 year old loved! The bar/restaurant staff can't do enough for you and even while meals are being served they are running around cleaning/mopping the floors making sure everywhere is spotless. The food wasn't amazing but it was nice and there was a lot to choose from. All the staff were excellent with my little girl and would come over and occupy her while we were eating if she was a bit restless which I thought was great. The train that picks up outside the entrance to take you to the free bird sanctuary is really good and I really recommend going to the big Souk for a bit of haggling and to experience the Moroccan culture, be warned though it's massive with over 5000 stalls. Overall an amazing holiday and our 11 days weren't long enough, please do not be put off by any negative reviews, some people just aren't happy unless they are complaining.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Greenacres Holiday Park Haven; City: Morfa Bychan Porthmadog Gwynedd North Wales Wales; Review: Used to visit greenacres 2-3 times a year as a child and absolutely loved it so thought we'd book and bring my little girl. We upgraded to the prestige caravan which is meant to be the best but to be honest I wish we hadn't bothered as I struggled to notice the difference. Fish & chips on site were overpriced and to be honest not that nice. Loved the arcades and entertainment. Beach is lovely and loved visiting the town too, took me right back to my childhood. All in all we had a good stay, not as good as it was when we were kids but we will be booking again just not wasting our money on the upgrade.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Alda Hotel Reykjavik; City: Reykjavik Capital Region; Review: We stayed at the Alda hotel for 2 nights on a short trip to see the northern lights... the receptionist, named Sygney i think (sorry about spelling) was incredibly helpful and recommended an amazing company for our best chances to see the northern lights and also called to book the tour for us.. as me and my partner are also vegetarian she recommended a lovely veggie restaurant just down the road. Our room was spotless and spacious and we were also given a mobile phone provided by the hotel to use with unlimited internet whilst we were in iceland. The hotel is on a street full of shops and places to eat so its very well located. Would recommend to anyone visiting.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sunconnect Kipriotis Aqualand; City: Psalidi Kos Dodecanese South Aegean; Review: We visited at the beginning of September as a party of 3 adults and 1 child. The room was spacious and the views from the balcony were amazing as you could see the pool the beach and all the way across to turkey. The food was nice and plenty of choice (I am vegetarian and didn't struggle) the soup was amazing! The entertainment team worked really hard with what they had and the pools/water slides were enough for our 5 year old to enjoy. Now on to the most important part, the reception staff... they really went above and beyond and couldn't do enough for you... unfortunately I got poorly during our stay (kidney infection) and they organised a taxi to collect me from my room to take me to a doctor recommended by them... I was seen straight away and put on antibiotics and so I could still enjoy the rest of the holiday The reason the hotel only gets 4* is because of the mammoth hill we had to walk up to get to our room every day it's very steep and really not what you want to be doing on a "relaxing family holiday" also we had a kettle In our room but no tea or coffee supplies and you have to pay for water which to me isn't "all inclusive" All in all a lovely holiday and we didn't struggle finding beds around the pool once; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Frieling USA Double Wall Stainless Steel French Press Coffee Maker with Patented Dual Screen, Polished, 23-Ounce; Brand: Frieling; Review: The Frieling Ultimo Stainless-Steel French Press is beautiful in person. It has a nice heavy weight and would not tip over easily. The handle, press and parts have a very solid feel. All of the parts are easy to assemble, disassemble and clean. The mirror finish is attractive and also easy to wipe clean. The press operates very smoothly. Medium grind coffee was used with the press and it worked wonderfully without any grounds escaping the filter screen. There were no visible grounds in the cups of coffee - only the characteristic fine coffee silt that settles at the bottom of the cup. This was my first French Coffee Press. The stainless steel model made the most sense, because it wouldn't shatter and and there would be less risk of scalding due to the insulated layers of stainless steel. However, after several tries, I decided that the flat taste and murky, chalky, consistency of the coffee made with this press was just not good. It made my favorite everyday coffee taste completely different and really quite bad. Guess I'm not a fan of french press coffee.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Hoover FloorMate Deluxe Hard Floor Cleaner, Moondust; Brand: Hoover; Review: This is my second Hoover FloorMate. Previously owned a H3000 gray / turquoise 2001 model which lasted 15-16 years with some care and parts replacement. This model is a big improvement. It cleaned up the edges of the kitchen and bathroom floors much better than the older model and it cleaned up any dirt that the previous model left behind. I really love the two large tanks on either side. They hold enough cleaner and liquid so that we do not have to make frequent trips to the sink. The machine is much sturdier in person than expected but not heavy or bulky. The floor cleaning solution is awesome! It smells really fresh (not overpowering) and did not leave a sticky residue behind or make the cat sick. A little bit of cleaner goes a long way! The machine did a better job of cleaning up the dried food on the kitchen floor that my parrot leaves behind. I love how smoothly the handle releases compared to the older model. So far, I have used the machine on old linoleum flooring and ceramic tile. I will eventually try it on hardwood flooring too. My only complaint about this model is that the suction is so strong, you have to push against it as you clean. This puts a lot of strain on my wrists. Using two hands helps. Wish that it was self-propelled.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Dyson DC07 Dirt Housing Top With Handle 10-0700-01; Brand: Dyson; Review: Glad that this part is available so we do not have to replace the entire cyclone. This part is made of a strong plastic that is comparable in sturdiness and quality to the original part. The handle on our 14 year old DC07 purple/scarlet animal vacuum was cracking horizontally and was getting increasingly worse. This handle is the main one I use when lifting up the vacuum so this part has to take a lot of stress and carry the weight of the vacuum. I went on You Tube and found a good video by an Australian vacuum repair business "nelsonvacuums" and the video is titled "Dyson DC07 lost suction". This video will show you how to disassemble the cyclone and properly replace the handle. The video also shows you how to use a shop vac to clean out all of the old dust left behind in the cyclone chamber. You may want to do this when you replace the handle for the sake of maintenance and it improves suction as well. The trickiest part is re-attaching the rod to the new handle as there is barely any threading in the replacement handle's plastic. You will need to pre-thread the plastic using the screw. Also use a hex key (allen) wrench 2.5mm to remove and re-install the screws.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dyson DC07 / DC14 Lifetime HEPA Post Motor Exhaust Filter, Purple, Fits Dyson Part 901420-02, and (2); Brand: Dyson; Review: So far, so good! Noticeable improvement right away on our 2003 Purple / Scarlet Dyson DCO7 Animal Vacuum. This is the first time we ever replaced the Hepa filter and the 14 year old filter was filthy and velvety black, (worse than some I have seen on YouTube videos). After replacing this part, the brush roll and a small intake hose, the DC07 is working much better! The machine pulled more dust, dirt and cat hair out of the carpet than it has in a while! The machine is performing significantly better; more like it did originally! Our filter came with the two black stick-on gaskets which go on the white side of the filter. FYI-There are some very helpful videos on You Tube from "eSpares" in the U.K. for replacing this and other Dyson parts.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Coway AP-1012GH Smart Air Purifier with HEPA Filter; Brand: Coway; Review: It was a real workhorse - when it worked. This machine did a good job at collecting a lot of dust, cat fluff, parrot dander and people dander. It did the most work of any Air Purifier in the house because it was near our Maine Coon's cat tree and beside a hallway - a high traffic area. Unfortunately, the motor burned out after 3 1/2 years. It was having issues for over a year; it started off intermittently sounding like crickets chirping, then grew progressively worse with squeaking and now all it does now is light up and make chime sounds. The fan has stopped. We own 4 other Air Purifiers, 2 from RabbitAir, 1 Idylis and one Holmes. Most of these Air purifiers have been running for over 5 years, a couple of them might even be ten years old. We take good care of the machines, with vacuuming, maintenance filter replacement. I tried contacting the manufacturer, but they would not replace the machine as it was outside of the 3 year warranty. This will be our last Coway brand Air Purifier purchase. I would not recommend this brand to others.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

So in the course of a couple of hours and a couple of good Alpine we booked a trip on a last minute deal to the Mar Del Sur. Now to be honest we did check out the reviews here first before booking and they were extremely helpful. And they ranged from Excelletn to Terrible, so I figured it must be somewhere in between then. From my experience it was better than the middle. First off, lets get the standard disclaimers out there. 1. This is Cuba, Not Canada, Particularly not Toronto. 2. If you don't like Chicken, Fish and Pork don't eat it. 3. If you are looking for people to run after your every whim, your in the south Man, forget it. 4. Its a 2 star resort, what were you expecting. Now for the good rules. 1. You can't drink all the Beer in Varadero on your first day, but try anyway. 2. The weather is always beautiful. 3. The people are proud, friendly and fun. 4. Treat people with respect and you'll get it in return. 5. The Beach is terrific. 6. Crystal is a great beer, so is Buccanero and that Miabbee one. Things that were fun. Rent Mopeds: There is a place right across the street that rents them to you for about $25 for the day. But really its too hot to drive all day so if you wanna just see the peninsula, rent it for 3 or 4 hours. Oh one other thing. They give you the moped empty. They will point you to a gas station up the road. Don't fill the tank. I put $10 of gas in and probably used a dollars worth. They don't refund you on the gas. Go to Havana: There is a bus tour that goes into Havana. Its worth it, beautiful architecture, amazing scenery but its an all day thing and about 6 hours in a bus. We didn't do the tour and decided to go on the bus. Much cheaper but we missed it. So a nice Cuban Gentleman then offered to taxi us into havana for $80 return and show us the sights. It was great but one note of caution, This is not a government sanctioned taxi and they take the back roads. But it was beautful up through the mountains and I'll tell ya, pulling into this little roadside cantina in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of locals standing looking at ya, well you have to wonder at that point, "Am I about to be Robbed?" I think that was the best part of the trip. Nice people really and a lot of fun. But be careful, a couple of other people we met down there did the same thing and got stopped at a checkpoint; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Reef Playacar; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Hi Folks, Just got back from spending a week at the Reef Playacar. From start to finish an incredible time was had by all. We were two couples staying from May 5th till May 12th. We travelled with Sunwing and right from the start it was smooth as silk. We landed in Cancun they had a transfer for us to the Reef and within 45 minutes we walked into the lobby. We have stayed in much larger resorts with grand lobbies and the Reef's was small in comparison. But that in itself is part of the charm of this place. You walk along the inlaid wooden pathway to the door leading out the back of the Lobby and you walk into a Jungle. You stroll along the wooden walkway along the side of the building with beautiful stone on one side and a railing overlooking a waterfall to the Cenote below. There are vines haning from the trees and everything is so lush right from the main lobby to the pool area. The rooms are great with nice floors, there was a flat screen on the wall which we only turned on once because while in Mexico what do you need TV for. But for your info they have english movie channels, news, entertainment etc. We had a small mini fridge and safe in our room. There was a hairdryer in the bathroom with plenty of shampoo, soap and towels. One note there were Two big towels so if your three in a room request an extra at the desk. Also if you want the room safe you need to sign a sheet at the desk and they will give you the key and the lock. We had paid the $60 per person for the Superior room and the safe was included as well as a restocked mini bar daily. If you don't upgrade the safe is $2 a day and they, from talking to others, put bottled water in your room daily. Before you say "$2 a day is cheaper than $60 per person just for a stocked mini bar and safe" There is one other thing this gives you access to that may or may not be important to you. But I'll get to that. All the rooms have a nice patio that either overlooks the pathway to the pool/beach area or the gardens out back. In a review I'd read someone mentioned a view of the back of the RIU Palace. The gardens in the back do face the Palace but it is the patios of the rooms and palm trees not a big concrete structure. quite nice. Food was awesome, loved the breakfast buffet with the custom omlettes, Quesadilla's, bacon, fruits, cereals, coffee, etc. The best part was sitting on the outside patio looking at the ocean eating breakfast or lunch. Lunch and supper buffets were great, the evening buffet had a theme each night. The ala carte restaurant "Botticelli" was excellent. Nice Fillet Mignon, great brucheta, soups , salads. Also there is a second ala Carte that; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Barcelo Solymar; City: Varadero Matanzas Province Cuba; Review: We booked through Sunwing Vacations and the trip was excellent. The hotel is a little older than the super sized resorts further down the peninsula but if your looking for an excellent Resort close to the action with a beautiful beach and friendly staff this is the place. it is connected to the Barcelo Solymar whom own both and you can use the facilities of both. The buffet was good, not as extensive as some but no one in our group had any complaints and if you wanted to switch things up you could walk to the buffet at the Solymar in the mornings as well. There is an excellent Grill that opens at lunch time right on the beach that serves excellent food. Plus there is an awesome beer tap and the staff will mix a drink or two for you if your relaxing nearby on the beach. The pool area is lots of fun, would be better with a swim up but the bar is nicely setup and always staffed so there are no long waits. One of the nicest features of the resort is that if you forget something in the room its about a 3 minute walk from the beach back to the lobby. There are lots of ala cartes to choose from. Food was excellent at all the ones we tried. We also wandered off the resort quite a bit and we ate at a couple of the local restaurants which were excellent value and quality. Oh the best Pina Colada's are at the little bar beside the pond in Parc Josone just down the street from Calle 62.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Reef Playacar; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We had a wonderful time at the reef the week of March 9th. As always the surroundings were wonderful and it goes without saying the people are fantastic. I have to thank Humberto whom year after year makes our time fantastic with his awesome drinks at the swim up bar and going out of his way to make us feel welcome. At the lobby bar Mario would always give us a warm welcome and chat about the days events. we have booked the VIP room all three years and that is the way to go. From the upgraded food and drinks to the awesome rooms. From check in to check out we felt well cared for. The only comments I would make to help improve things would be to put the cans of beer back in the cooler at the swim up bar and put more top shelf liquor there. Only having it at NICO's bar defeats the purpose of VIP. NICO's is nice but the swim up bar is where its at in the afternoon. oh we also loved the Mexican grill. We ate there almost every night. Fernando did a fantastic job greeting us warmly and the food was delicious. My only disappointment is that we decided to return to Mexico in may and the resort is all booked up. But that is also its biggest charm, it's small size along with its proximity to the center of playa del Carmen. So we will be off to Cancun in may but we will be back to the reef next year.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Riu Lupita; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We just returned from the Riu Lupita. We had a good time and enjoyed ourselves. The bars are great and the drinks are excellent. The pools are good with the only drawback being that at the adult pool there is no bar. They are currently renovating the disco and the animation stage. Maybe when the disco is done they could put a bar there for that pool. The main pool is nice and is geared for kids. That's great if your with your family but not so much if your not. The resort is really geared to families. Mexican restaurant was excellent as was the steak house. The buffet was excellent for all meals. The people working at the resort are awesome. The biggest drawback about the resort is it not being beachfront. There is a shuttle bus running every half hour to the beach club. The bar, buffet, pool and beach at this beach club are excellent. One thing which would be huge is being able to walk across the golf course to the beach. Other than location great spot, good rooms, mini bar is stocked every two days, as well as the liquor dispenser. The bus will also drop you off at the start of fifth avenue and pick you up again every half hour on the quarter.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Platinum Yucatan Princess All Suites Spa Resort; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Fantastic Resort! We spent a week here at the first of March. We stayed in a deluxe swim out in the 3000 block. This block is directly across from the main pool. The location was excellent and the room had sun all day. If you want a room with early sun and afternoon shade go for the 2000 block and the 3000 block gets the opposite. The platinum swim outs are nice as well but a lot more secluded. The restaurants are excellent. As others mentioned a few nights through the week one of the á la cartes are closed. But the fact you don't have to book to eat at any of them outweighs that. Please note that if you want to sit at the hibachi grill in the Tao restaurant you need to book at that restaurant starting at 6pm. The hibachi show is well worth it. The buffets are good. Lots of variety and the food tastes great. The main bar is very nice with lots of seating, great service and excellent drinks. The staff at the entire resort are excellent, Maria at the main pool brought us drinks all week. Our room was super clean and the fridge was stocked every day. They do include three bottles in the room of vodka, tequila and rum. We never used them as Maria would deliver drinks right to our patio. The beach is beautiful with great service and lots of loungers with shade. One of the truly great things about this resort is not having to put towels down to reserve loungers. As people mentioned swim shoes are a good idea. We were in and out of the water up and down the beach all the way from the grand velas up the beach down past the grand sunset and it is no better anywhere. But it's really a minor inconvenience. We enjoyed our stay so much that when we came back down in April to stay at the grand sunset we moved over to the platinum Yucatan after two nights at the other resort. It is day and night between them. I'd like to thank the people at the check-in for the great service when we transferred.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Catalonia Royal Tulum Beach Spa Resort; City: Xpu Ha Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Really nice resort. The rooms are in multiple buildings on a long path down to the beach and pool area. Food was good, drinks were okay. We purchased the upgrade and found that it didn't mean you got the top shelf drinks. Not a real big thing but some of our friends really wanted kaluha and good vodka in their white Russians and they would constantly use bar mix. Turns out to get the good stuff you have to join their vacation club. That is something I've never seen before. Besides that the jungle setting is great. Also the beach is beautiful with soft sand. You can walk up the beach to a little beach bar and listen to music during the day. All in all a really good time. But could use a bit of a sprucing up.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Sanctuary House Hotel; City: London England; Review: I saw the charming picture of this little hotel on-line and thought it would be in a convenient location. I was a bit worried about noise, but I need not have been. The hotel exceed our expectations in all respects - good value, helpful staff, close to places we were visiting on a short stay, convenient to the subway, and spacious updated room with amenities. The breakfast which was included was excellent. And the little pub downstairs convenient for an afternoon beverage and the beer excellent. The rooms were clean and well appointed and the bathroom updated. They also offered shampoo, body lotions, etc in the bathroom which was pleasant. And the little fridge offered for free two bottles of water (still and sparkling), milk for tea or coffee and one (1) free beer. Splendid. Service was caring including a turn down service in the afternoon (with a chocolate). And welcomed the Nespresso Machine and cookies in the room for an afternoon break - and of course there was also tea. There is an elevator to help get up your bags to your room. The area is safe and quiet, but still close to other busier districts and public transit. We would certainly recommend the hotel. And the abundance of flowers in baskets around the hotel in the summer were to cheery and welcoming.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Be sure to bring soap and shampoo. We had a fridge and stove that could be useful for a longer stay. The descriptions and pictures were accurate. It was good value for spacious rooms. We were in Oslo during hot weather, so rooms were warm but a fam was provided. With one window, air circulation was limited. But as we were out most of the time, not a problem.

And it is just a short walk to the charming and historic village of Son - a picture perfect seaside village. So many of the older 19th century buildings have been maintained and many painted in bright white paint. There are many restaurants, museums and shops to entertain couples and families. The marina is well organized with many restaurants.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

This should be a good sign to everyone as he is confident that all is done properly but also is checking! Now secondly! I will be back! Even though I had the combos there are a number of other dishes to try. Bottom line: Afghan cuisine is a mixed of middle eastern and eastern flavors which means it is a mix of spices and seasonings and worth the experience.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Restaurant Rebirth; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Mississippi style barbecue pork belly was the highlight. Highly recommended. I would return just for that appetizer. My wife had the scallops and really enjoyed them. I had the Gulf Seafood Al Ajillo and it did not impress me. It is busy and so book a table in advance. Some of the tables are better positioned than others...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Galliano Restaurant; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Went for lunch and had a great time. Started with a half dozen oysters and had to order more. The person preparing the oysters brought over a special dipping sauce. ASK FOR IT!!! It is a sauce with Worcester sauce, ketchup, lemon and a pepper infused vodka. It is not on the menu but it ought to be. It was a nice surprise. I grew up on horseradish and ketchup...there is more to life. (The waitress did not know the sauce and so be persistent.) By the way the oysters were great by themselves if you don't get the sauce.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Angeline; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: What a great find. I had been wanting to go since my last NOLA visit. Made the late brunch on Sunday and had a dish with creamy grits, crispy fried boudin with a fried egg in top. Absolutely wonderful! See the pic. Chef is creative and I will be back! Only downside is that the restaurant is closed Monday and Tuesday - not a complaint...just wanted more.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: TUI Family Life Orquidea; City: Bahia Feliz Gran Canaria Canary Islands; Review: Stayed here for 2 weeks in June, having been to many all inclusives I can say this was one of the best. Firstly the review of the mother whose child fell into the pool is unfair, untrue & not very nice!! The girl slipped, simple as that! Her parents were not drunk they were having a coffee!! Our room was cleaned every day, new towels & sheets too, the maid was very friendly & did a great job. We didn't really do the kids clubs as my kids prefer to spend their time in the pool. The entretainment what we saw of it was really good, we prefer to sit outside & chat but each to their own. The food was fab, something for us all!! I left the UK with a sickness bug so it went through my family but this was nothing to do with the hotel. Chicken pox is hardly due to the hotel is it?!?! We had a letter left for us & were given good advice. I thought it was made very clear in the welcome meeting that the trips varied in what they offered, some are ticket only therefore you have to arrange your own transport, not rocket science really!!! The hotel was noisy of a night, our rooms were right over the entertainment bar Fata Morgana, but by 11.45pm every night the music had stopped & it was very quiet!! I could go on for ever but bascially its a lovely hotel with friendly staff, excellent Thomson staff & we enjoyed so much we are going back next year!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alpine Park Cottages; City: Exeter Devon England; Review: Stayed here with a group of friends & family for a week.

Would highly recomend & will be going back next year!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alpine Park Cottages; City: Exeter Devon England; Review: 3rd year we have stayed here & the standards are still extremely high. Very friendly owners always happy to help! Very tolerant of 4 year old children who want to help them out all the time!! Would highly recommend a holiday here!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alpine Park Cottages; City: Exeter Devon England; Review: Just returned from our 4th visit & can say with confidence that it won't be our last! The standard of accommodation is extremely high; the cottage was very clean & tidy will a feel of home from home, also the communal areas are to the same high standard. The owners are superb & will do whatever they can to help, even if it means Curtis had a shadow all week in the form of my 5 year old son!! Highly recommended accommodation set in a beautiful part of the country with plenty to do in the surrounding areas. Thanks again for a brilliant holiday; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alpine Park Cottages; City: Exeter Devon England; Review: Visited for the 5th year in a row & had another fantastic holiday! Curtis & Sally keep the cottages maintained to a very high standard, they are spotlessly clean & a home from home. The open grounds are very safe for children of all ages to play & these areas are also maintained to very high standards. My youngest child has become very attached to Curtis & Sally over the last 5 years & they are brilliant with him & happy for him to follow them around doing little jobs for them! Fantastic place to holiday & will be returning! Thanks Curtis, Sally & Helen!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Iberostar Club Cala Barca; City: Cala Mondrago Majorca Balearic Islands; Review: Spent 4 nights at this hotel recently & enjoyed every minute. The bedrooms are spacious & comfortable. The staff are attentive, helpful & you never feel like anything is too much trouble for them. The bars, restaurants & toilet areas were always clean & tidy. Around the pool was well maintained & cleaned every day. The choice of food was excellent, there something for everyone, even fussy eaters! This is a family hotel but there are plenty of quieter areas for relaxing in. Overall a great holiday & I will be returning to this hotel again & will take the children next time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
