Title: Caron & Doucet - Cutting Board & Butcher Block Bundle: 2 items - 1 Cutting Board & Butcher Block; Brand: Caron Doucet Cuisine; Review: My 48 yr. old wooden cutting board needed some tender care after all those years of regular use. I didn't want to use mineral oil on it, so I've use veggie oil at times in the past. This far out does the veggie oil treatment, and it lasts for a very long time, even with daily use.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Asce di guerra; Author: Vitaliano Ravagli; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Il libro e veramente molto interessante e racconta una pagina della storia moderna di cui conoscevo veramente poco. All'inizio ho trovato complicato seguirlo, per via dei continui salti tra un presente piuttosto recente (anni 2000), gli ultimi anni della seconda guerra mondiale, e gli avvenimenti della guerra in Indocina negli anni '50-'70. Ma una volta inquadrate le diverse storie (tutte legate da un personaggio straordinario che e anche coautore del libro), la narrazione e molto piacevole e ricca di contenuti. Ho particolarmente apprezzato la posizione forte e senza mezze misure che gli autori prendono nel descrivere i partigiani da un lato e il fascismo dall'altro. Inoltre, ho trovato molto ben illustrato il disagio sociale di chi ha subito la guerra come bambino e le difficolta enormi incontrate poi nell'integrarsi in una societa che, con eccessiva fretta, ha voluto dimenticare, rimarginare forzatamente ferite ancora scoperte. Da qui poi le bellissime pagine dei sentieri dell'odio, dove il ragazzo ormai uomo deve trovare un modo per liberare anni di paura e rabbia, trovando la strada per la guerra del Laos e del Vietnam, tra la giungla, nelle fine dei partigiani a difesa dei proprio diritti. Davvero un ottimo libro. Grazie ai WU MING e grazie a Vitaliano Ravagli per aiutarci a non dimenticare.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Doctor Sleep; Author: Stephen King; Genres: thriller, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: If you love SK's writing and if you have been following him for years, then you simply can't skip this book. Aren't you just a bit curious to know what happens to that little boy that was wondering through the halls of that evil hotel, while his father was chasing him to ... well you know what for. There are several aspects of the book that I have enjoyed. First of all, SK is once again digging into the mind of his main characters, without hiding anything of them. Sure, the hero is a hero, but with so many shortcomings to overcome (he drinks too much, he is running away from everything, ...) But even more than this I like the fact that you cannot completely blame the evil either. You are forced to doubt that maybe they do what they do just because that's their nature. So should we accept them? Or should we fight them and eliminate them nonetheless? So ... have you bought it already? Open the first page, and get ready to jump.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Selfish Gene; Author: Richard Dawkins; Genres: history, non-fiction, biography, historical fiction; Review: I first discovered Richard Dawkins by reading his Devil's Chaplain novel (by the way, that's a very nice book as well!). I then moved on to many others, among which The Selfish Gene, and I found them all, at the very least, challenging. Meaning that they force you to think of your existence non-conventionally (at least for those who are not biologist by nature). The Selfish Gene in particular exposes Dawkins' opinion about the smallest unit on which the forces of natural selection are at work: the gene. Embracing the idea opens up new perspective on what we (as human in particular or as living beings in general) are: merely containers for what is truly living and evolving (yes, you guessed it!): pools of genes. In what could appear as a cold and distant (misanthropic even) narrative voice, Dawkins investigates the consequences of his theory, getting to the point of explaining our own emotions and family connections with striking mathematical arguments: my brother and I share 50% of the same gene pool, which is why I will favor his survival more than the one of a distant relative. Similarly, my daughters has 50% of my own gene pool, but better chances than I have to grow, live, and push that pool further. Thus, I will forever choose to save her life over mine. As I said, it is far from being a reassuring and warm story, the one that Dawkins tell us in this book. But science does not claim to be neither warm nor reassuring. Science attempts to explain what we perceive as true facts. So if you are willing to feel some your most solid foundations cracking here and there, this book is for you. And then I promise you'll be looking for another one from the same author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time; Author: Mark Haddon; Genres: young-adult, thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: A lovely book to read, that walks you hand in hand along a curious child affected by autism, while he moves around his city trying to solve an interrogated mystery. The author has managed to make us see all the vicissitudes that occur to the little boy right through his eyes, a somehow disarmingly sincere and direct attitude to life itself. I have given this book as present in several occasions and I will surely continue to do so. More than worth reading it; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sophie's World; Author: Jostein Gaarder; Genres: history, young-adult, children, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: It has now been several years since I have read this book but it still remains one of the nicest book in bookshelf. The idea on which the book is centered is quite original and the content guides the reader through centuries of philosophy in a way that is both interesting and easy to grasp. The ending ... no I won't spoil it for you! Let me just say that is one of those you will remember. A book to buy for yourself and as a present.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values; Author: Robert M. Pirsig; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: I have read some of the reviews others have already given to the book and I have to admit it is quite difficult to find something more to add. I can understand those who say that many pages are spent on describing the authors philosophy. But I don't necessarily find it a negative thing. I have enjoyed reading this book, a few years ago, and I would still reccommend it to friends. The concept that I mostly appreciated was that of Quality, and the way the author brings it forward with parallelism between the attention he gives to fixing his bike and the care he invites us to have in all the aspects of our life. Doing it this by going presenting us some of the most important's philosophers in history is a plus; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back; Author: Todd Burpo; Genres: history, young-adult, comics, children, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction; Review: I read this book because someone (and I truly do not remember who) gave it to me as a present. I forced myself to go all the way to the end of it. But honestly I would not recommend it. I do not want to judge people who have gone through a difficult situation with their child, but the book really tastes like an exaggeration of an otherwise common story.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain; Author: Maryanne Wolf; Genres: history, non-fiction, biography, historical fiction; Review: I have found it a very pleasant book to read. All three sections (already mentioned in other reviews) are very interesting and brought me many insight on a subject I did not know much about before. I have particularly liked the second section, the one connecting the act of reading with the developing and functioning of the brain. I think it also brings important messages to parents who want their children to grow enjoying reading, living the act of reading as the wonderful and fulfilling activity we, as human, have been blessed with.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: L'età dell'inconscio: Arte, mente e cervello dalla grande Vienna ai nostri giorni; Author: Eric R. Kandel; Genres: non-fiction, history, biography, historical fiction; Review: (english below) Un libro davvero interessante, che abbraccia discipline apparentemente diverse quali l'arte, la neurobiologia e la psicologia e ne svela gli intimi legami nella Vienna di inzio Novecento. Pur avendo gia visitato Vienna in passato, dopo aver letto il libro spero di poterci tornare un giorno, per ammirare le opere di autori quali Klimt, Kokoschka e Schiele con occhi piu preparati. Non c'e' una pagina del libro che io abbia trovato noiosa. Lo raccomando a tutti. It is a lovely book to read, which embraces disciplines which only apparently are far away from each other, such as neurobiology, psychology, and arts, and bring them together at the beginning of the Nineteen's century to reveal the most intimate links between them. Although I have already visited Vienna in the past, after reading this book I just wish I will be able to go back one day in order to visit again those museums and look at the paintings of Klimt, Kokoschka and Schiele with better trained eyes. The writing is easy to follow and there is no single page which I have found boring or superflous. A book I would certainly reccommend to everyone; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Last Temptation of Christ; Author: Nikos Kazantzakis; Genres: history, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: An amazing book! It makes no difference whether you believe in God or not. This book beautifully Jesus as a human being, full of doubts and hopes, facing challenges and prejudices. It deeply investigates the souls of the disciples and apostles, showing them in all their limitations, contradictions, cheap personal interests and hopes. I dare saying that maybe Jesus is not even the strongest character of the book. I have loved Judas, the only one who is always looking for something higher throughout the book. Judas who is willing even to betray his master, when he commands him too, because he is longing for the kingdom of haven to come and free his land. Judas that, when needed, rises his fist against his master and calls him a traitor, bringing him back from his last temptation, and therefore saving the world. I recommend this book to everyone who is interested in the depths of a human heart and mind; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Cavafy Canon; Author: Constantinos P. Cavafis; Genres: poetry; Review: I know Cavafy is known for being one of greatest. Nonetheless, I have to admit I found it particularly difficult to go through with the book. Maybe I did not find in it what I would expect from a poem book. Most of the poems read like plain text. I guess being able to read them in their original language would make a difference. The poems are mostly about ancient Greek history, with some exceptions (when the authors describe the different ages of his own life). I could see that there is beauty behind them, but I am afraid I have not been able to capture it entirely; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: L'anomalia; Author: Massimiliano Pieraccini; Genres: thriller, crime, mystery; Review: Mi spiace, ma non sono proprio riuscito ad appassionarmi a questo libro. Non me la sento di consigliarlo ad altri; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The End of the Certain World: The Life and Science of Max Born: The Nobel Physicist Who Ignited the Quantum Revolution; Author: Nancy Thorndike Greenspan; Genres: non-fiction, history, biography, historical fiction; Review: What I really love about books such as this one is that they provide you with an historical framework for facts and names you have heard and read about during your school and/or academic years. It is nice to read and dense in information. Not to mention the opportunity of better understanding one of the greatest mind of our recent history; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Linked: How Everything Is Connected to Everything Else and What It Means for Business, Science, and Everyday Life; Author: Albert-Laszlo Barabasi; Genres: non-fiction; Review: I read this book several years ago, when I was closing up my University studies. It opened my mind to new research opportunities that I have then undertaken for my ph.d. The book gives a very nice introduction to the world of complex network, covering the random models and moving on to what the authors have discovered and named scale-free organization. The mathematics are far from being heavy and down-to-the-ground examples are always reported to help the reader connecting to her daily life. A very nice book!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Very Short History Of The World; Author: Geoffrey Blainey; Genres: history, comics, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: I surely am not an expert historian. Maybe if I was one I would have commented negatively as others have done. Instead, I have enjoyed this book very much. It guides through century of history without becoming heavy and allowing you to follow connections.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Gruffalo; Author: Julia Donaldson; Genres: children, poetry, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: Wonderful book for your children. My daughter is very much into it and loves it when .... mmm ... no spoiling! The story is nice and there is a good moral lesson in it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Irgendwie Anders; Author: Kathryn Cave; Genres: comics, children, paranormal, graphic, non-fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: If you have children and if you like reading to them, then this is a MUST. UNESCO award-winning. A wonderful story on being tolerant and appreciating differences among individuals.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig; Author: Eugene Trivizas; Genres: paranormal, children, fantasy, fiction; Review: Brilliantly written, it inverts the roles of a classic, having three small wolves starting off with their lives and having to escape from the terrible big bad pigg (ton rouni-rouni, to ypoulo kako gourouni). The message is a very good one: after trying to build fortresses to hide, the wolves finally understand that what they really need is not to hide, but to get the best part out of the bad pig. A must for children; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 251 Things To Do In Tofino: And It Is Not Just About Surfing; Author: Kait Fennell; Genres: non-fiction, young-adult; Review: 251 things to do in Tofino is a nice book presenting you several (well, you guess how many, right?) opportunities for your days in the city known as the dead end of western Canada. The book is nicely written and certainly can help you filling up your days with activities outdoors, no matter what kind of weather you are going to face. Half of the book is dedicated to messages that real locals have written down for you, which gives you a warm feeling of cozyness. I don't know if I'll ever get that far from where I live as to actually visit the city, but I have enjoed reading about it and its cultural approach to life and Nature.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Chi ha spostato il mio formaggio?; Author: Spencer Johnson; Genres: non-fiction, fiction; Review: Ammetto che il libro racconta una storia interessante e che porta a riflettere su come stiamo affrontando le diverse situazioni (piu' o meno difficili) che la vita va presentandoci. Tuttavia, non arriverei a definirlo il capolavoro che invece l'autore stesso (e chi con lui ha scritto l'introduzione) vorrebbe farci credere. Il messaggio e' chiaro, ma non necessariamente condivisibile appieno. Ci sono diversi aspetti che credo si sarebbe dovuto approfondire, anche sotto forma di metafora. Ridolino (il protagonista presentato come modello a cui ambire) sembra non chiedersi importanti domande quali: perche' il formaggio e' stato spostato? Era veramente necessario? Davvero non ho diritto di commentare certe scelte solo perche' sono una parte del sistema? In generale, comunque, mi sento di consigliarlo. E' sicuramente interessante. Buona lettura; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Il Piccolo Principe; Author: Antoine de Saint-Exupery; Genres: young-adult, children, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: (english below) Non so come sia stato possibile, ma ho vissuto un'intera adoloscenza senza mai leggerlo, ne' tantomeno vedere films a riguardo. Ora, padre di due splendide principesse, ho ripreso in mano un'edizione che avevo sugli scaffali e l'ho letto alla piu' grande (3 anni). E' stato il suo primo libro a segnalibro (vs. albi illustrati, sempre di casa). Non so quanto sia riuscita a capire dei mille e piu' messaggi che l'autore porta. Sono pero' certo le sia piaciuto, visto che qualche giorno fa mi ha chiesto di leggerlo nuovamente. Dal canto mio, l'ho trovato un libro veramente denso di buoni spunti per riflettere su cosa significhi essere adulti. Buona lettura a tutti I am not sure I have managed to go through my childhood without ever reading if or watching a movie about it. Now, father of two lovely princesses, I have taken a copy from the shelf and I have read it together with my oldest one (she is 3 years old). For her, it was the very first "book", meaning a story that you do not simply finish in one session. I am not sure how much she could understand of all the messages the book has to offer. But I am sure she has enjoyed it, since just a couple of days ago she has asked me to read it again (but sorry honey, now we are on the Grimm's tales :-)). For what concerns me, I have liked the book very much. It gives tons of opportunities to think about what being an adult means. Good reads!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: Hisense DH-70K1SJE4 Energy Star 70-Pint 2-Speed Dehumidifier with Ionizer; Brand: Hisense; Review: Well I bought this de-humidifier based on all the good reviews and am left wanting to like the de-humidifier and rate it five stars. Firstly the thing does suck water out of the air a lot better than my frigidaire. There is no doubt this machine is taking a lot of water out of the air. It is also very well built and looks sleek and stylish. The downside is far to great though to give this de-humidifier anything more than 2 stars. I first started this on normal mode and it gets the humidity to 3% the desired set percentage. But the compressor never kicks off. If it is set at 45% the humidity will be 42% with the compressor still running. If I then reset the humidity to 50% the compressor will kick off till it is at 47% and then continue to run. I do not know if it is just maintaining the level and the compressor runs at half speed or something but it is killing my electrical usage. Last night I looked at my electrical box and it measured 49090 and over a seven hour period it measured again at 49098. So this machine along with the rest of the household sucked 8 Kilowatts of energy in seven hours. I unplugged the machine and left everything else in the house the same and after seven hours the meter read 49100. So this machine sucked 6 kilowatts over a seven hour period. Over the course of a month this machine would suck 540 kilowatts costing me almost 70 dollars to run based on our rate. That is ridiculous and I cannot believe the company did not test this out or at least think about it before sending this unit out. I threw out the box already since it was shredded through the shipping and probably cannot even return this machine. What I will have to end up doing is setting the timer in the morning so it runs for 2 hours and at night. Just a pain that I have to run into the basement twice a day to turn this thing on. Anyhow this machine sucks out the water great from the air however also sucks the money out of my wallet. I would recommend something that is better in the energy department EDIT: So a little over a year the compressor is no longer kicking on. I am so upset right now as I have paid good money for this product and it seemed like a reputable brand......What crap what happens is you can hear an electronic buzz from the De-humidifier and it seems like the compressor kicks on than it sticks the lights dim in the house and than the compressor kicks off. I tried researching the product on the companies website and nothing, they do not even have dehumidifers on the company website for sale. Oh well should have stuck with something from home depot instead of venturing out for a new brand. I will update if I can fix it or if the; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hisense DH-70K1SDLE Energy Star 2-Speed Dehumidifier, 70-Pint, White; Brand: Hisense; Review: Alright I originally bought a hisense dehumidifier and wasn't completely satisfied with it just because of the elctrical consumption. Anyhow I owned the dehumidifier for 15 months and the compressor stopped staying on. It would cycle on than immediately cut off. The back of the dehumidifier would get extremely hot when this would happen. Long story short it ended up being the compressor motor which failed and it would cost well over a 100 dollars to repair. I called customer support at HISENSE (their mission statement is QUALITY, SUPPORT, and WARRANTY!) The lady stated since it was a couple months over the warranty period there was nothing they could do no repair, fixes or discounts off a new dehumidifier available. I argued to speak with a manager to which they obliged and was told by her she would talk to the district manager to see if they could get me a new one. The District manager pretty much told me to go fly a kite and here I am 250 dollars out and a broken junk dehumidifier bought from a terrible company. One would think a 200+ dollar appliance would last for more than 15 months. I have had to bring my backup dehumidifier out which is a 10 year old frigidaire and it is doing the job HISENSE failed to do. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!; Rating: 1.0/5.0

One would think a 200+ dollar appliance would last for more than 15 months. I have had to bring my backup dehumidifier out which is a 10 year old frigidaire and it is doing the job HISENSE failed to do. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Winix WAC6300 4-Stage,True HEPA Air Cleaner with PlasmaWave Technology; Brand: Winix; Review: I feel very comfortable reviewing this air filter after a solid year of use. We use it mainly in the winter as we have the windows open in the summer. My allergies get terrible without any air circulation and in our 900 sq ft house we have this air purifier set up with a germ guardian in the living room. It really does a fantastic job at removing dust and other crap from the air. It is awesome seeing small arm hairs and other things that would be floating around the house trapped on the bottom of the filter. This means less dusting and cleaning also. The turbo mode is loud but nut acts as a good noise cancellation at night. We have not had to buy new filters yet as I said we only use this six months out of the year; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: La Suite West Hyde Park; City: London England; Review: There no service at this hotel. It´s small hotel at the good place, but... 1)Nobody at reception desk was not intrerested about our luggage bringing to the room. To make phonecall from room to reception was not possible and after o,5 houers waiting I went to ask and get answer that the boy went to postoffice... then I took our luggage and brought them to the room by narrows corridors and steps. 2)breakfast - same story! many young servants, but we waited our English breakfast also 0,5 hours, the boy was forget it :(, after that we ordered porridge... 3)In room we heared everthing from corridor and upper room,starting from roomcleaning noices till defferent ohter voices. This "concert" was not ordered by us, ms. hotelmanager! 4) And summary:it looks likethat there no management at this hotel and the service persons are young students without any service knowledges.

Title: Meresuu Spa and Hotel; City: Narva Joesuu Ida Viru County; Review: Front of the hotel did not have enough available parking spaces for cars - how to get in here then?

Title: Kurumba Maldives; City: Vihamanafushi; Review: We had wonderful celebration of our anniversary sorounded by the fiendly staff. It is a quite big family resort located only 15 min by boat from Male airport. Good food and service.The spa was very good! Kurumba has certainly a big plus varied and tasteful evening concerts with very good music. The only drawback was the beach, which was at times very narrow,in some places the water was very low and had to swim in the pool or just behind the breakwaters. And the view, on Male' and other big islands, provide a "busy" image surrounding. But if you are looking to a truly Maldivian holidays jump on a seaplane and travel either north or south!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Red Mullions; City: Oxford Oxfordshire England; Review: We stayed at Red Mullions for one night in April. Our first impressions were great - we found the exterior very attractive and we were greeted by Luke, who was great at recommending some local places for dinner (we chose The Black Boy, which was an excellent pub with great food, service and reasonably priced!). After checking in, Luke showed us to our room... and it was then that we were slightly disappointed. The room was rather small, dated and the reception area was right outside our room. We both felt that the room rate was slightly overpriced at 85 pounds for the night. HOWEVER, within a few minutes, Luke knocked on our door claiming a "last minute cancellation in a 'nicer' room". It may well have been the truth, however we did wonder whether the 'nicer' room was being kept for last minute guests who could stay two nights over the weekend .... which is absolutely fine. I have no problem staying in a 'less inviting' room, but I don't agree with the rate we were paying. To their credit, however, they were VERY GOOD at allowing us to stay for the one night over the weekend. Many other B&Bs required a minimum two night stay. The 'upgrade' was fantastic and really good value. The room was spacious, modern, very clean and the bathroom was large with a lot of natural light. We also looked over the backyard, which was lovely. The room had a double bed and a single bed. It was a little noisy - in the morning, you heard other guests outside your room, loud and clear. But, it is a very homely and comfortable B&B. Breakfast was excellent, with a full English breakfast on offer. We also helped ourselves to cereal. Luke was brilliant at ensuring the guests were looked after, including topping up our teas and coffees! Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, despite the initial disappointment of our first room for the price we were paying. Would definitely recommend Red Mullions!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: NH Collection Amsterdam Flower Market; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: We stayed in the NH Carlton over the May long weekend. Staff were terrific and always willing to help where possible. Our room was very nice and very comfortable. The room had been recently renovated. We looked over the canal and flower market. It could be a little noisy at times with stag parties cruising the canals on boats and the chiming of tower bells directly across from the hotel, but there is double glazed glass and I didn't have a problem sleeping at all. The hotel itself is in an excellent location, right by the flower markets. It placed us well to get around to the western part of Amsterdam (where Anne Frank's house is), as well as the southern parts of the city (Vondel Park and Van Gogh Museum). The central train station is about a 15 minute walk from the hotel, but you don't want to stay around the main train station as there isn't much there and it isn't the nicest part of Amsterdam. The trams are also really easy to use and there are stops about 200m from the hotel. A great hotel and would definitely recommend people stay there!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: House Sandra; City: Split Split Dalmatia County Dalmatia; Review: We were very pleased with House Sandra and would recommend it to anyone visiting Split. Because we had given our flight arrival details to them prior to arriving, they met us at the bus station, which we weren't expecting at all! The accommodation, whilst on the old side, had character and was immaculately clean, which is the number one priority for me. There were three of us, which meant we had two bedrooms with a shared bathroom to ourselves. One room had a double bed and the other had two single beds. I sleep rather poorly due to back problems. However, I slept like a baby here! There is also free wifi and air conditioning - a must for the summer months! House Sandra is a short walk from the Old Town, there is a supermarket nearby and it is also very close to the bus and ferry station. I would definitely stay here again is I was to return to Split.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Memphis; City: Rome Lazio; Review: Like other reviews, we arrived at the hotel (it is located on a small side-street) and were slightly worried about what we had booked. However, we need not have worried as the room was great. We were three adults staying in the room. It was spacious and we all had our own beds (the third bed was a couch made up into a bed, but it was as comfortable as a bed!). The room and bathroom were very modern and clean. The location is fantastic - only a short walk from the Trevi Fountain and Pantheon. Make sure you go with low expectations regarding the service. Staff on the front desk were very unhelpful and arrogant. I think they might need a reminder as to who the customers are! Lastly, make sure you use the metro to get to the hotel. It is very easy from the train station. Ticket machines are in various languages and you only need to buy a 1 euro ticket per person to get yourself to the hotel. We made the mistake of getting a cab as we had had a long journey. However, the cab driver took advantage of us ignorant tourists and "snaked" his way to the hotel resulting in a 20 euro cab fare! We didn't use a cab after that as we knew they would rip us off again and again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Moris Hotel; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: Moris Hotel certainly met my expectations. While the room was very small, it was comfortable and it looked out onto a small courtyard with other Parisian buildings also facing in. The facilities were quite new and fresh. A lift makes it easy to get heavy suitcases to rooms. I agree with the other reviewers - every time you want to use the wifi, you have to register. Even once you register, it will log you out if you aren't being active on your device and you have to register again.... Sometimes in the space of 10-15 minutes! Very annoying. It also very close to major train stations - Gare du Nord and Gare Est; both within walking distance. The location is fine if you like walking a lot but I wouldn't say it is in the Marais. My only complaint is the drainage in both the sink and the shower. The water pressure and hot water were excellent BUT the extremely slow drainage is an issue. You could bath a small child in the water that ended up sitting at the bottom of the shower... And it was difficult trying to wash your hair as you would need to turn the shower off while conditioning hair to allow some water to drain to avoid the water breaking its banks!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Motel One London Tower Hill; City: London England; Review: I have now stayed here three times since it opened in early December - mainly using it as a base from which I have been travelling. The hotel is simple in design yet modern with a very comfortable bed and terrific shower (no drainage problems!). The rooms are small but when you are in London, you're not really in the room all that much and other places I looked into were even smaller! After all, it is London. Location wise, it is close to Aldgate (metropolitan and circle line) and Tower Hill tubes. Yes, it may not be as central as other places but for the price you pay and the quality of room that you get, I think a few minutes on the tube is a small sacrifice to make. If you prefer comfort over the best location, then this place will work perfectly for you. I have not had the breakfast here as I prefer to visit old haunts for a good breakfast. There is a great hair dryer in each room (better than most other hair dryers I have used in hotels including at places like a Crowne Plaza) and they also have power sockets for both UK and Europe. The free wifi is always of excellent quality/connection and you can link multiple devices. The staff are friendly and accommodating. I have booked it again for my last weekend in London before returning to Australia next week and would definitely recommend it to others in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Auldington; City: Launceston Tasmania; Review: We were looking forward to staying at the Auldington for 3 nights in December – a ‘boutique’ hotel with 4.5 stars on Expedia and TripAdvisor suggested the hotel would be of a high standard. Well, it was not. It was a dump. Whatever you do, DO NOT HAND OVER MONEY TO THE HOTEL OR A THIRD PARTY PROVIDER UNTIL YOU HAVE SEEN THE ROOM and are satisfied that you are getting what they have advertised – because they will make it very hard to get your money back. We arrived at 5.30pm and were shown through to our room. We had booked the ‘Heavenly Bath Deluxe’ through Expedia. The photos on the Expedia website showed a comfortable, clean room with windows. Unfortunately, this was far from the reality of the room we were shown. Room 14 was absolutely filthy. It looked like student digs! There were crumbs, plastic and general bits of rubbish all over the floor. You could write your name in the dust. The basin sink had not been properly cleaned in weeks, with pink mucky build-up round the taps and plug. The bedroom had one window close to the ceiling, and had a thick layer of soot and dust on the sill. The musty room even had paint peeling off the wall! We raised our concerns with the young man on reception. He inspected the room, acknowledged that they don’t usually let that room to guests, and agreed that it needed cleaning. He promptly sought guidance from the owner /manager by phone. We were then offered room 12. We inspected room 12. It was being used as a spill over office, with files all over the floor. It was being ‘worked in’, and again was dirty. There was rubbish on the floor and a heavy layer of dust on the window sills. I pointed this out to the receptionist and he denied it was dirty. I asked him to run his hand along the window sill and, well, the proof was all over his hand. At this point we asked for a refund. We were told by the hotel that our booking was with Expedia, and non-refundable. We would have to take it up with Expedia. I spent an hour on the phone to Expedia who explained that the only way of getting our money back was for the hotel to agree, which had to be the owner/manager. However, he was at a party and was not answering his phone. Finally, the receptionist contacted him. The receptionist was told to clean the room until we were happy, but not to give us a refund. He also told the receptionist that he was at a party and to stop bothering him. This is hardly the owner/manager who “doesn’t rest until you do” as their website states. He clearly did not care and wanted to fob the problem off to the receptionist who has no authority (as an employee) to make any decisions. To expect the receptionist to clean our room (at close to 7.00pm) while also managing reception was extremely; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane; City: Brisbane Brisbane Region Queensland; Review: We loved the room. It was very modern and comfortable in a great location near the botanical gardens. 20 min pleasant walk through the gardens and over the goodwill bridge to South Bank for dinner and drinks. The room size wasn’t huge but it was perfect for us as a couple. Would definitely stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: BENEDIKTUSHAUS IM SCHOTTENSTIFT; City: Vienna; Review: Great location and the room was fine. However, the bed is incredibly hard and uncomfortable with both of us having a terrible night’s sleep. The pillows are also large in surface area but very very flat - you basically don’t have a pillow. There were no spare pillows to improve the bed/pillow situation. There were was no wifi for our first night, which was disappointing as we had to rely on our international roaming - not cheap when you’re visiting from Australia. The bathroom was fine - but the towels are poor quality and small. They also only provide an all-in-one shampoo-soap-body wash. While it is very clean and an adequate hotel, it was let down by other factors that are important during a travel experience.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: U Cerneho Medveda At The Black Bear; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: Our apartment was extremely clean and very central to the old town. The apartment was actually very big - it had a kitchen and separate living area, though we didn’t use either. The furniture and feel of the place is a little dated. It is also quite noisy at night with street noise and nearby pubs and restaurants. The shower head is also at waist height, which makes it awkward if you’re washing your hair! It is a detachable shower head but you can’t really wash your hair with one hand while holding the shower head in the other. We prioritised convenience and good value over something shiny and new, so it worked well for us.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Penzion U Pavla; City: Cesky Krumlov South Bohemian Region Bohemia; Review: Can not recommend U Pavla more highly. It was incredibly comfortable, perfectly located to the old town and castle area, and the breakfast was excellent! We stayed in apartment 4, which had a separate small lounge area. The bathroom was great - amazingly good shower. Only advice would be to check the room rate directly with the pension’s website rather than booking through a third party website. I think it may have been cheaper to book directly with the pension. We also used the CK Shuttle for transfers from Prague and to Vienna. Would highly recommend the shuttle.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Pyle Portable DVD CD Player; Brand: Pyle; Review: We've taken this on a few trips and the kids watch movies with no issues. The volume is a little low, but all-in-all, it was a great buy. We stop at Red Box, pick up a few DVDs, and the kids are content throughout the ride. Update: We've used it about a dozen times with no issues. All the DVDs we've rented have worked with no issues. The kids can plug their headphones into it and away we go. It's a little hard to see from an angle, but since it swivels, not much of an issue. I see a lot of people are having issues and/or don't like it. I guess we're lucky because we do like it and I'd recommend it. Also to note: the case it comes with is ok, but it didn't fit on the back of the headrest in our Kia Sedona minivan, just an FYI. No biggie though as they just put it on the console in between the seats.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: LG Electronics 50PN6500 50-Inch 1080p 600Hz Plasma HDTV (Black) (2013 Model); Brand: LG; Review: Honestly, I love this TV. I had a 42 inch plasma before, and wanted another because of the awkward viewing area and the way our room is set up. I did give the TV - 1 star though for a reason. Fed Ex. Honestly, if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't order online. The day Fed Ex delivered it, I was in my basement and my wife opened the door for him. I heard a loud crash up stairs and ran up because I thought someone was hurt. My wife looked at me and said she told him it was a TV, but he just threw it down anyways and walked off. Seriously - I really didn't think the TV was going to work. However, it did. Hopefully for years to come :) But for $579 with free shipping, I couldn't resist. But if I saw it at a store for close to that price, I'd just have soon as gone and picked it up myself so I didn't risk it being thrown around like that again. I know that doesn't reflect the TV, but I think it's important to know. The TV shipped from CA to NC, so food for thought.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Philips HTL2151/F7 1/2-Inch 2.1-Channel Soundbar with Passive Subwoofer Refurbished, Set of 2; Brand: Philips; Review: This was better than I was expecting for $100. The sound is great. I hate the remote though - it's terrible. The other issue I have with this is the display on the actual unit isn't user friendly. You can't see how loud it's at. There is no number or anything indicating that. You just see a LED light flash when you try to turn it up or down. Therefore, if you're just buying for sound, go for it. If you want convenience and ease of use, maybe spend a little more on one that you can visually see where the sound is at. Would I buy again - at this point yes... but that's because I'm not sure for $100 there is anything comparable and I'm lazy and don't feel like searching for anything else because it took me 2 days before I bought this one, so I'm done, lol :).; Rating: 3.0/5.0

This is running all setting max on 1920x1080. I'm not getting the bad jittering while playing big space battles. It got to be a slideshow on the 6400K, but haven't experienced that on the 860K.

Everything came in a white box - fast shipping, from GPS City. Turned on and updated to latest firmware and map pack. No issues. Screen looks like brand new. EDIT: DID NOT COME with HD antenna. Returned. Second edit: So, now I feel completely stupid. This unit has the HD antenna built into the unit. Once you plug the GPS into you car, go to setting and traffic, and you'll see traffic is working. GPS CITY called me and walked me through it. My problem then was I wasn't aware my wife's cigarette lighter wasn't working. Turns out a fuse blew. Once I replaced that, then the traffic on the GPS began to work. Therefore, don't be dumb like me and get ticked when you think yours doesn't come with the HD antenna (like I did). Ugh. 5 stars to GPS City who actually called me and explained it all to me, even though it was my fault (well, my wife's fault... it was her van, lol).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hauppauge Digital TV Tuner for Xbox One TV Tuners and Video Capture 1578; Brand: Hauppauge; Review: I bought this in anticipation of Xbox going to have the ability to record TV like Tivo. Now I see they've cancelled that plan / indefinitely post-poned it. That would figure. I would not have gotten if not preparing for that feature.

Now....my family went on vacation and I thought it would be a good idea for my husband to keep all of his stuff and wallet in a bag......he was not amused...haha! So it took me days to convince him to try the 'purse' on, as he called it.....I kept saying it was a 'satchel'.....he would only try it on if I got skittles and snickers bars to keep in it....haha....so I got the requested candy and he tried the 'satchel' on and he (secretly) liked it!!!

Title: Fruit of Loom Men's A-Shirt Multipack; Brand: ; Review: Really like these, either under a regular shirt or worn alone. Fit a little tight at first for the size (I'm usually between a medium and a large, ordered a large), but was comfortable after wearing for the first half hour or so.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wrangler Men's Rugged Wear Classic Fit Jean; Brand: ; Review: I ordered these as a somewhat less expensive alternative to my usual jeans (Wrangler 47MWZ), in which I normally wear a 33 x 30. Based on reviews here on amazon, I ordered (3 pr) one size up.i.e., 34 x 30. Unfortunately, they fit tighter than the 33 x 30 47MWZ's, so I had to return them. Going to an even larger size in the waist would make the rest of the jean much too large. Don't get me wrong, these are nice jeans (though they are thinner than the 47MWZ), and the waist line is not too highI guess I don't have the correct body style to make them work for me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

That said, I have been able to find a number of hiking boots/shoes from different manufacturers that fit..but, as far as comfort and support..so far, these are my absolute favorite. I managed to find another pair of these, as they are harder to find as the "new" 2.0 boots are out now. I've stayed away from the latter based on reviews from folks who tried them after having worn the earlier version (the version I'm reviewing). LIke them, I really don't know why Vasque switched to the the 2.0 versionthe 'old' version wasn't 'broke', but they seem to think they 'fixed' it in the 2.0 version.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: KEEN Men's Targhee II Hiking Shoe; Brand: ; Review: Targhee II's are my everyday/all day shoe. I also wear them on shorter hikes (up to 3-4 miles) on a combination of blacktop, gravel, and (mostly) wooded/dirt road. For these uses, I don't mind paying close to full price for them....for me, they are that good and that comfortable. I also try to find a pair....I guess usually in an 'unpopular' color.....that costs significantly less than full price to use as a 'short shoe' for outdoor work (lawn work, tilling, some digging, etc.)....they are comfortable and I don't mind 'trashing' them since the price was right. I've used them for the latter purpose (outdoor work) for over a year, at which point.....depending on how heavily I use them....the nubbins on the sole will start to peel and they may leak water through the sole....but only after they have been heavily used for over a year, so I don't have a problem with that. For heavier duty work outdoors, I will wear Keen Utility boots. I 'thought' the most recent pair I bought were a little smaller/less wide (in the toe box) than normal but, after breaking them in, they seem to fit just fine. [EDIT: I noticed a few posts indicating that they seem to run a half-size on the small size....for some folks, I would agree that this may be the case so, if you are new to the product, you may or may not have to go up a half-size...not an issue with amazon's exchange policy if your correct size is available]; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hanes Men's Short Sleeve BEEFY-T (Pack Of 2); Brand: ; Review: Purchased in black and charcoal heather. I have the black version from a number of years ago, and the black ones in the current order are definitely not the same thickness/weight as the earlier version. They are, however, heavier than a 'normal' t-shirt, so they are 'beefy' on a relative scale. They fit fine and they are 'beefy', but the missing star is for the missing weight vs the earlier ones. On the charcoal heather ones, I did not realize that they were a blend (the black ones are 100% cotton), but they are actually quite comfortable. I would buy both again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Saddle West Hotel Casino and RV Park; City: Pahrump Nevada; Review: I only say that the registration process was typical to the one at whiskey petes in Primm.You have to walk all over to find it.Actually this was better than W.P. our room was around the back(building I)and a deluxe room at $69 including tax.It was the largest room we had in 4 states.We do not gamble and the non smoking room was large and quiet.No complaints.We had traveled all the way from Fresno thru D.V.(surreal) and the Best Western was full.The reports from Tripadvisor were invaluable.For a one night stay with family this place is ok.Half the price and a much larger room than Holiday inn at Grand Canyon(paying for location)It was getting late and we were once again whipped.Would definitely stay again if in pahrump.(wierd name!); Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Hotel Fresno; City: Fresno California; Review: We left the Monterey peninsula(see Lighthouse Lodge,Pacific Grove)for a day in Yosemite(not enough time)and coming off the scenic high of Glacier Point and Yosemite Valley and driving the switchback roads we were beat and needed a comfortable bed.The four points did not let us down.The beds were the highlight of this stay which for a traveler is very important.The room was nice enough and the tree womenhad no issues with the bath.Second floor facing pool was good.Climbing one set of stairs no big deal.Was quiet enough.The biggest gripe I had was with the reservation process.It was a wednesday night and not very busy.First two clerks would not accept entertainment card.I called a couple weeks ago to get the rack rate($170) and she said no problem getting half off($85).Finally after15 minutes on the phone with Chris(supervor)he came back and said $92.I said ok.All this hastle to bump me 7 bucks.With no breakfast(just room cofeemaker)it wasn't the best value.For those who pay $125 or more I would look around.Picadilly would not accept ent. card either.All in all,for one night in a comfortable it was ok.As some others mentioned the ac unit was older and did not function well.Parking was fine,fairly easy on off Rt.41.When reserving ask for the supervisor or manager to get your best deal.The ground and flowers pleasing.Would stay again if ever in Fresno.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Whiskey Pete s Hotel Casino; City: Primm Nevada; Review: Not being a gambler and just needing a bed for my wife and 17 year old and her friend I was aprehensive staying in my first casino/hotel.Parking easy enough but hauling suitcases through casino to registration desk uncomfortable and very strange.Late night checkin no problem.Room average size and no real complaints from the 3 women.For $22.04 through jetaway it was a steal,never stayed anywhere so cheap.I do have a smoking habit(never indoors) but am sure glad I never started gambling.Anyway,McDonalds is right there,coffee shop next to it is a bargain also.Back to the room,non smoking,no real odors by any of us,fairly clean,and out of 6 nights of hotel stays,(different each night)the girls said this was one of the better.That includes $145 at Grand Canyon Holiday Inn Express and $120 at Rubys Best Western at Bryce Canyon.(will also report on them)They say you get what you pay for,indeed in this case based on previous reviews,it was way more than what we paid.Almost for free.Would stay again if passing through again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Grand Canyon; City: Tusayan Arizona; Review: As per my previous review of Ruby's Best Western at Bryce, location is the key here and you will pay for it. $140. plus tax is the most i ever paid for a room that was average in size, loud a/c unit and just your typical chain experience. Breakfast busy place but ok(no waffle irons), did not see pool, but once again only a few miles from the most visited national park in the country. I only stayed one night and should have driven the hour or so to Williams or Flagstaff for better dollar value. If you are visiting the park for a couple days it is an ok place to stay, nothing to write home about. The beds are average, not too noisy, there are 3 floors.(stayed on 2nd)At least they have elevators. I would try another place if ever staying near here again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Ruby s Inn; City: Bryce Canyon City Utah; Review: As per the many reports, Rubys basicly is the only place with name recognition near the entrance to the national park. Booking 2 queens at the standard rate over phone for $120 plus tax I expected more than I received. We were put in "lakeview" room in back, second floor(ok) and complexes were all over the place on different angles in odd arrangement. If location is priority the you can almost walk to park, but if you want a quiet, peaceful setting without crowds I would entertain a cabin down in Tropic or Cannonville. The room was average in size for four people, (I wish they had offered us the 2 kings for $10 more as I am 6"8", but I didn't ask, my fault) the 3 women did not complain over bathroom, but overall just a very busy place that I was glad I stayed only one night at. Don't get me wrong, location is fantastic, they have everything you need here, 2 restaurants, 2 pools, gas station, the works, but with all the signage (a.k.a. Wall drug) it feels out of place for such a remote location. If you don't feel inspired after visiting inspiration point then something is wrong. Incidentally, be prepared for the 8-9 foot elevation, I had a little trouble breathing and it did not help things. As a side note, if you are not going north (capitol reef, arches,etc.)and are heading toward Grand Canyon, try the 45 mile dirt road at entrance to Kodakcrome to Page, Arizona. It gave us a true authentic western experience seeing a cattle drive and a dead steer on the road, talk about isolation! If I was ever back in this neck of the woods I would try a cabin or a more peaceful place as Ruby's was just too busy a place for me.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Seasons Inn Traverse City; City: Traverse City Grand Traverse County Michigan; Review: reserved through Travelocity for Saturday night Labor day weekend.45 room Motel 6 maxed out.Johnny(family owned,operated) knew our name as we were last ones to register at 10:15 pm.He was a little upset at Travelocity as we got a $42 rate and he could have easily sold the room for 89 as was on the sign.But Johnny considered me his customer or "guest" and honored the rate.Hats off to johnny.Room clean and orderly,no complaints.Good location,lots to see and do.I have never stayed at motel 6 before but this was a pretty nice and clean hotel.Johnny opened whirlpool at 8 am for me(slightly dirty,sorry johnny,have to be honest)All in all a great value(2 queens)that I would reccomend.Make sure to drive to old mission and sleeping bear area(m22)Would definately visit again,great deal and thanks to johnny for great customer service.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shanty Creek Resort; City: Bellaire Antrim County Michigan; Review: Four of us guys played on a golf pkg 6/30 that we booked in April for $77(inc.tax) each including 1 night lodging,all the golf you want with cart at 4 courses(Arnie Palmers Legend,Weiskopts Cedar River,Shuss,Summit) and played 54 holes. Tha absolute best bargain I ever recieved.Although the room at the original Summit was average(beds hard,pillows good)you just couldn't beat the deal if your an avid golfer.This even included a $10 cert.for brealfast.(very good buffet) If your going just for the golf,do it(legend+ Cedar the best).The only complaint was the check in/out process.Very slow. The price is probably higher now but they are offering $79+tax in Sept/oct and I will be back.The price was even lower this year than last.They are really begging for biz given the Mi economy/competitive # of resorts(Boyne,etc) If you love northern Mi mountain golf for the right price Shanty?Shuss is the best deal,I am a skier also and enjot looking at the hills/lifts while golfing,may try a ski pkg this winter. If you want pure amenties and don't golf/ski I would not recommend it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Falcon Ridge Inn; City: Alma Albert County New Brunswick; Review: We went by Tripadvisors few reviews and were not disapointed.The owner welcomed us in and very friendly.Nice sized rooms with excellent views clean as a whistle.Great romantic spot on the hill after a busy day at St Martins sea caves and traveling from Ellsworth Maine to Roosevelts Campobello,ferries and driving. In relation to the Quality Inn at Bar Harbor 2 nights previous for $125,THIS $115rate was excellent value given the gas fireplace(didn't use,too warm)nice 2 person hot tub in room,personal furniture touch,and good fresh breakfast.(although quality over quantity imho)The only thing because I am a larger person I would have changed was a King rather than a queen bed,other than that this was a very nice stay.Would definately stay again if in area. Alma itself did not have a whole lot to offer but seemed to be an authentic fishing village.Do not miss Cape Enrage or Hopewell rocks(both within a half hour); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Howard Johnson by Wyndham Fort Erie; City: Fort Erie Ontario; Review: First stop on a long trip to the Maritimes from Mich.Considering it was Saturday night and Labor Day weekend this was the least expensive place I could find within a half hour of the Falls.My wife and I had never seen the falls under the lights so we wanted a place reasonable close and not too expensive.Everything closer in to the falls was $150+,This Hojo was $88 + tax Canadian.(almost par value) Located right next to the peace bridge into Buffalo and 20 or so minutes from the falls it was a one night stay.Bed sits high up(good for us tall people)and fairly firm.(wife liked it for her back)I would estimate a 2 floor motel built maybe in the 60s/70s kept in reasonably good condition.Ground floor room clean enough and not too noisy.Neighborhood somewhat questionable but did not feel uncomfortable.Park across street. Negatives,restaurant banged up(closed)right within parking lot.Short walk to Wendys.A Tim Hortons adjacent(found this to be a great coffee chain on our northeast trip surpassing Dunkin Donuts in chain volume availability) All in all a ok stop for one night,no frill but good basics.Pricey but cheap in relation to all the others close to Niagara.(Even Motel 6 was at least this much for the Holiday) Would try another place next time at Niagara,non memorable,just functional and decent location/price.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Sturbridge; City: Sturbridge Massachusetts; Review: Having satayed and paid at 4 Choice Hotels in the last week we were used one of our free nights here.Good thing it was free.If you are using Choice check under each hotels site for the amount of points required for a free night,in general that will give you an idea of the quality of the hotel in my opinion. The reservationist was as unfriendly and just not enjoying her job I could tell but given I was fairly close to the big city(Boston)I let it go in and out with her attitude.The same girl was totally inappropriately dressed for the position,more suitable for a nightclub waitress. Anyway can you say PAPERTHIN WALLS?WE could hear evrything on the 2nd floor around us.She had put all the people near each other rather than spreading things out,maybe they are told to do this,I don't know.The whole side facing I-84 was empty,I belive the highway noise would have been preferable than what we had. In summary,I would nevr stay here again,the breakfast area was pure filthy(can you people empty a garbage can?)NOISY,and just not managed well at all.If it wasn't for Sturbridge village and the free night no way,Jose! Choice Hotels,you should be ashamed of yourselves calling this a Quality Inn,the Motel 6 in Traverse City Mi left this place in the dust,literally!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Kindred Spirits Inn Cottages; City: Cavendish Prince Edward Island; Review: This island was the draw for my wife and I.Being Anne fans and Avonlea we had this planned for quite some time.The aptly named(from Anne series)Kindred Spirits was everything and then some for our brief 2 day stay on the Island.Being it was our Silver Ann.I wanted a nice place for our cellebration.The hotel/Bed + breakfast was laid out nicely with the large checkin area/breakfast area within the main lodge/building.We upgraded the Memories pkg to the executive room in an adjacent building that was just the ticket with a king bed,nice wicker(wife loved)a bath tub with hot jets and an overall nice large room.(they have a luxury room above this grade even)They had even give us a Happy Ann card,chocolates,and non alco bottle on ice when entering room,which showed their class.IMHO the $309 +tax pkg was an excellent value given it included an excellent chowder supper,homemade bread,tea,etc.,2 excellent buffet breakfasts which were both quality homemade and quantity,a very nice picnic basket,and a couple other things. PEI is a beautiful,clean,postcard type of place that will deserve a return trip some day.Al +Sharon are first clas, hands on. personable owners of this fine establishment and would reccomend Kindred Spirits in a heartbeat. Thank you Al,Sharon and staff for an very enjoyable stay,just up grade that computer connection you have in that nice old desk!lol My wife enjoyed the 9pm tea time,I was just too exhausted,lots of nice people from alll over the world!

Title: Comfort Inn Suites North Conway; City: North Conway Conway New Hampshire; Review: King suite very nice room,busy town,of course it was Labor Day.Room price of $89+tax half of night before.Minch golf presented no problems.Good breakfast w waffles,no meat.Nice employees. Great respite after the white knuckle drive of Mt Washington.Good value.Indoor pool,no hottub. Would def stay again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn; City: Elkhart Indiana; Review: After reading the reviews here we wanted to take a short 2 hour trip to Amish country and use the free night I had from Choice hotels.All of the reviews were right on. This was a very clean and fairly new Sleep inn and there wasn't any dissapointment. No negative comments from us. My daughter,son in law ,2 young grandsons got 2 rooms side by side right across from the pool/hottub. Although small the pool was clean and the grandsons enjoyed it very much. The only negative was our room was right across from the ice machine,other than that the beds were good,plenty of pillows,nice service from the young gal bringing a cot and crib immediately and a very adequate breakfast setup now with a waffle maker. There are several motels right off this exit(92)to choose from.I would not hesitate to stay here again.A new Microtel they said is going in next door so price competition should be keen here.Also plenty of eatery choices.(Cracker Barrel right next door); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge South; City: Petoskey Emmet County Michigan; Review: This is a late review from January but I thought better late than never.After our extended travels last fall and the buy 2 get 1 free deal Choice hotels offered I decided to use a free night for a short ski trip to Boyne and Nubs Nob. The Econolodge was nothing special but adequate.Clean enough and the pool looked ok but I didn't get to use it. Right across from Applebees and close to the neat town of Petoskey. The new Holiday Inn a few hundred yards away looked fantastic but I imagine wasn't cheap. There wasn't anything to write home about the Econolodge but it was free,I suppose I would consider it if staying in the area again.I even had a waffle early before skiing Nubs(very small breakfast area in the checkin room); Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Breakers Resort; City: Saint Ignace Mackinac County Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: Went by the reviews here and wanted to try the St Ignace side of the bridge. Stayed on the north wing 2nd floor larger end room(62.99 mature trav rate by Choice)(both good recommendations)which was spacious and good view of Mack Island. Balcony small,beds ok,bath avg with sink outside of bath.Pull out couch(did't use) Typical cont breakfast but waffle maker as most are now offering this.Pool looked nice but di not use.Don't go for the beach as has been mentioned. Quiet town as compared to Mackinaw city and would try another hotel.Holiday Inn adjacent.Just a one night stay on way to Wawa Ont.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sunset Motel on the Bay; City: Munising Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: Went by reviews and brother in law. Stayed on the second floor with several slippery steps(rained overnight,wife almost fell)Kitchen and loveseat by TV.GE stove an antique but in good shape,beds firmish and short(twin or double).Bath area nice. Right on the lake and a mile from Munising falls. Pictured Rocks boat tour not to be missed(awesome) Sydney's has great steaks,Dogpatch good breakfast.Good enough for one night for $67 but would step to the plate and try the Holiday Inn express next time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: High Falls Motel and Cabins; City: Wawa Northeastern Ontario Ontario; Review: As per the 4 reviews here they were right on. Anna and Zenon were like old friends within a matter of minutes. Very nice cabins.(we had #6 on the end with 2 double or twins and a new bath)Nice little kitchen, agreat 32" flatscreen for the wife to watch Dancing w the Stars,and great vertical log construction, and clean! Only possible question mark was the furnace was right in the room(propane) and was an older,slower, and harder to control,otherwise a great choice with personality.Within a couple hundred yards of the hwy and there are a lot of semis going by all hrs. Have become Tim Horton fans and don't miss Magpie falls. As a skier I enjoyed being right next to the old Mt Wawa even though it has been closed for some time.

Title: Sleep Inn Suites Acme Traverse City; City: Acme Grand Traverse County Michigan; Review: I thought i had posted this last yr but better late thannever. Wife and I actually stayed here May 09 using a free night choice rewards after Choices buy2 get 1 free program which they usually run in fall and spring IIRC. Being it was free we git the best room which had a separate room with a pull out sleeper and another TV, the main room was your typically sized standard fare. Would be good for a family of 4-6 but I think they are around $100-150 in prime season. Lobby nice, we were on 2nd floor(stairs, didn't see elevator) Breakfast area good/avg WITH waffle makers which 90% of Choice hotel have now from my experience) Much more modern than the Quality Inn TC we stayed at for a try this past June. We just love the TC area with OLd Mission peninsula, Sleeping Bear Dunes and the scenery. I WOULD recomend this Sleep Inn to anyone. If I recall, there is a Holiday Inn express behind this Sleep inn further off the busy Rt 31 probably even quieter, we were on a week night and really didnt have any problems with noise from highway or kids/patrons running slamming doors, not a real busy night as compared to the Saturday night @ Quality Inn TC in fair comparison.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn By the Bay; City: Traverse City Grand Traverse County Michigan; Review: thought I had reviewed this but a few months late. Stayed mid June just before cherry fest and double pricing. Recall paying $79 or near it. Right on Rt 31 in a very busy strech of TC NOT on bay side of road.(crossing rt 31 dangerous walking) Rooms were avg and motel was near full on a Sat night. Would recommend the Sleep Inn in Acme a few miles east before this place for about the same price if you want Choice points. Outdated and noisy, pool/hotub looked smalled and was packed. Would not stay here again. Breakfast area OK. Oh yea, because I booked directly w the motel desk instead of w Choice/online I did not get credit for the $50 meal/Chilis gift card, thought w all the business I have given Choice they would have given me the credit, the manager stood behind the young man( of course who said I would get the credit) and admitted because I booked directly w them I would not get Chilis card but offered no alternative customer satisfaction. I recommend the Sleep Inn in Acme over this "Quality" inn.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites; City: Boone North Carolina; Review: This was the 3rd night in a row at a Comfort Suites and ranked right up there with the one at Pigeon Forge. Nice lobby with Elk. Wierd side of building entrance and long walk from parking your car in not the best lit lot. All 3 C S's were around $75 senior rate. Pillows at all 3 were identical but mattresses varied. CS should find a consistent top of the line mattress. Suites at all 3 varied in size also. Ate at the diner next door,ok. Was there a week before the Sandy hurricane/blizzard. A good stop on a great scenic byway. Blue Ridge Parkway. Gotta give Choice hotels credit, stay 2 nights, get a freebie at an Econolodge. Spent $325 for 6 nights lodging at good motels/hotels with good breakfasts, it pays to be a choice privilege member(free) Great value!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites Mountain Mile Area; City: Pigeon Forge Tennessee; Review: After 1st night stay at a Comfort Suite in Corbin Ky on way from Michigan we had this hotel booked for Sunday night 10/21/12 for $76 senior rate affording us the free night at an econolodge after our 2nd night stay. Arriving to fantastic weather and Octoberfest and kids "fall break" from school, Pigeon Forge was an absolute zoo on Sunday. After taking the Skylift for a birds eye view of Gatlinburg, and the roads bumper to bumper, we took the historic nature trail(don't miss) to the hotel for a early 4 pm check in an a early start to Cade's Cove in the morning. Good move.(CC was bumper to bumper at dawn on a Monday morning!) Had the pool and hot tub to ourselves. Had a 6th floor room on opposite side of parkway($30 extra for city view)this for us was a good move, cheaper and quiet. Balcony tiny. Room nice. Breakfast was better than average for Comfort Suites, fresh Crispy Cremes. Nice gentleman stocking it said motel originally a Raddison. Breakfast area larger than most. Jim Carrey filmed The Majestic next door at the movie house my wife said. King Kong next door. Amphitheater view from our small bacony. Can see the Mtns somewhat without the Vegas like glitz from the frontside. Easy access with red light on Teaster. Would stay here again but find out when their slow season is. Foliage was perfect and Cades Cove nice and Clingmans. Blue Ridge parkway one of most scenic drives in the world! Don't miss; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn Suites; City: Winchester Virginia; Review: After doing Smoky Mtn NP and covering at least 2/3's of the Blue ridge pkwy(Awesome baby) from Cherokee NC, we finally got back on the interstate(81) and were headed to Gettyburg the next day. Had a friend to visit in historic Winchestrr Va and had to get our 4th night at a Choice hotel for our 2 freebies. Went by trip advisor reviews and were not diss appointed. Although not as nice as Comfort suites, this Sleep inn was fine. Only about $10 less than a CS. Service fine, breakfast same as others, busy area. Golden Corral next door(mooo) getting close to the greater DC area and you can tell, started to lose the southern hospitality drawl. Would probably try a different hotel if in Winchester unless choice had the 2 fer deal.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Suites; City: Corbin Kentucky; Review: On way to Smokies from Mich 10/20/12, didn't have a reservation as we didn't know how far into the trip we would be. Big mistake. Wanted a Choice hotel for the buy 2 get 1 free deal.Called 5 or 6 motels, all full. Started with top rated ones from tripadvisor. Football games at Eastern Ky and Tenn/ALABAMA was the sold out reason. One last call to this Comfort Suites and the nice girl said we have 1 room left, book it on your smartphone right now. We got it! She was telling the truth cause 3 guys were standing in line after in check in and she turned them away with no reservation. The room was ok, a handicap which was no big deal, first floor. Pretty clean, no real diss appointments. Breakfast typical.kudos for a well lit parking lot. Comfort Suites very consistent in their pillows. As another poster said, outdoor side entrance not locked but due to great parking lot lighting never felt unsafe. Good place on way to Great Smoky NP right off 75 in Corbin KY. Cracker Barrel very close. If I didn't want the 2 fer deal I may try the Hamptoninn next door, they always seem to have high ratings.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge Inn Suites Near Split Rock And Harmony Lake; City: White Haven Luzerne County Poco; Review: After staying 4 nights in choice hotels 2 fer 1 deal and attending a wedding in Hackettstown NJ, we drove a good hour on I-80 to get a start on way home to Mi. And beat the approaching hurricane Sandy. Made a mistake by booking a smoking room but for free this room was huge, 2 bedrooms and a kitchen. As per one tripadvisor comment, sliding front glass door was unlocked(have feeling this was a no name resort wannabe before Zchoice bought it) Beds were hard as a rock and not the cleanest bath. But tough to sleep in the smoky smell. Slept maybe 3-4 hrs and hit the road. Passed hundreds of power company trucks headed east for Sandy hurricane. Parking lot well lit,wooden walk boards to rooms not too strong.wierd place but price was right. Would stay in a non smoking room and worth $50 IMHO for 1 night stay if in area for race or skiing. Wife said young man at check in was super friendly and a firefighter and was preparing to aid in the on coming hurricane. His 1st day on job. Well done young man and thanks for serving.11 pm check in. I believe the man mentioned in other posts came at 5 am when we picked up phone to check out and took our key, seemed nice to us. Went McDonald's a few miles down road for bf. Would probably try the Comfort inn next to McDonald's and 80 exit next time if had to stay in White Have /Blakeslee area, this econolodge was 5 or 6 miles off the exit but as I said the price was right.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn; City: Ironwood Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: Paid $80 senior rate, fairly high.average room, looked like a small pool( compared to the huge pool in Green Bay Quality inn. Nicely ski themed motel as there are several in area. Best restaurant a hundred yards away ( Maplehurst); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn Suites Downtown; City: Green Bay Wisconsin; Review: Average motel but above avg pool area. Actually 7 ft deepend, used to be a Best Western clerk said. Good rest after Door county,(don't miss Cave point) Could not find a skyscraper in GB. Paid under $70, typical bfast; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn Lakefront; City: Saint Ignace Mackinac County Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: Oct 5 stay, rain, wind, lightning and thunder. Rain pelting against slider door from east but a nice dry room watching whitecaps pound the mini beach. For $66 senior rate this was good value. Had the stay 2 nights get an Econolodge freebie. Good deal. Would stay again, did not use pool , typical breakfast. Both buildings separate so to walk out in the cold in your b suit would be awkward. North end of St Ignace is pretty rough near the airport, couple burned down motels.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Baymont by Wyndham Marinette; City: Marinette Wisconsin; Review: Good service( call you to see if everything is ok), granola and water bottles for Choice priv members and comfy double beds(not queen)typical breakfast.no pool or hot tub O did I mention the 4:30 wake up call? I don't care which side of the hotel you stay on, when a freight train comes by blasting it horn and the ground and building shake you will arise, hopefully no derailments or you'd be dead. The free Econolodge in Escanaba was better.(buy 2 get an econo free); Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge by Wyndham Escanaba; City: Escanaba Upper Peninsula Michigan; Review: After a long drive from north of Duluth, we used our free room from Choice hotels after 2 paid nights. We got a suite in the far back of the hotel that was huge, at least the size of 2 rooms. Had kitchen, pull out couch and a 4 person and 2 person tables. Large bath. Full retail during week $79 we got it free. Awesome deal Choice! Worth 79 all day long, was what we paid for other rooms half the size at best.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Mountain Inn at Lutsen; City: Lutsen Minnesota; Review: Did not have a reservation and while coming up 61 called. For $79 this was as good as any Choice hotel or better. Great ski parafaniia on walls. Breakfast down hill in original lodge overlooking Lk Superior( continental ) Don't miss Gooseberry falls and Split Rock lighthouse. The old gondola( installed at Loon mtn NH and transplanted to Lutsen in 89.)was good for this skier. Wish I could ski this place. I'm sure the rates are higher during ski season Moguls restaurant across street was fantastic.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge; City: Traverse City Grand Traverse County Michigan; Review: Forgot to post on our stay 2/24/13. After going to the Smoky mtns in the fall of 2012 we used our free room from the buy one get one offer of Choice hotels. Went skiing at Crystal with wife, daughter, son in law, and 3 grandsons. Booked the suite for them above lobby that had king bed, a small kitchen in between another room with pull out sofa for 2 boys with another tv. Believe king had flat screen. This was a fantastic free room for the family. Wife and I booked a separate room. The boys loved the pool and as has been stated the hot tub was very good size and easily accommodated 4-5 adults and you could hop over into the pool. Great time after skiing. The breakfast was average but more than adequate. I give this Econolodge credit for offering their best room for a Choice privilege reward night and for $69 retail it is a bargain and free was fantastic! The son in law treated us to the best dinner at Boones only minutes down the road. Only area of improvement would be to plow a little better. If you have a skiing/boarding family try the Homestead , great Lk Mich views as we had a great day there after staying here. Obviously winter rates are cheaper in Traverse in summer but they can get more in summer in high demand. No I wouldn't pay $100 for a room here but I thought it was much better than the Quality Inn in town. Don't miss Boones but bring plenty of $, best ribeye I ever had but for $28 it should be. Glad son in law paid. Good job Econolodge Traverse, we will be back; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Petoskey; City: Petoskey Emmet County Michigan; Review: Staying tonight 2/8/14 in a 2 queen and pullout couch room after having skied Nubs Nob and Boyne Highlands tommorow. This bed is very comfortable and the LG 32" TV shows the Winter Olympics well. The heater unit is much better than the one at the Comfort inn(Amana) in Traverse City last night. The room is spacious and bath has granite( real or fake) and average. Cannot report on breakfast until tommorow. Biggest disappointment for the grandsons and myself is the large pool with 9 ' deep end was ICE cold and hot tub was Luke warm at best. Otherwise would have given this place a top rating. Couple other comments, entrance drive steep and was slippery and not salted well. As others have said this must have been another brand or private inn before AmericInn bought it. Odd shaped building, our room must have been updated but hallway carpet old and pool/ hot tub paint old. I guess for a 55 year old paying a senior rate of $89 was a good value since the Econolodge up the road is about $79 for 2 queens with out a pullout couch. There is no view of the bay from our room. If the breakfast is good tomm I would consider staying here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn Traverse City; City: Traverse City Grand Traverse County Michigan; Review: Used my free room from Choice's buy 2 get 1 free deal from our fall trip on way to Petoskey to ski Nubs and Boyne. Date2/7/14 Had the King and Queen handicap room which was spacious and huge bath. 40" Samsungs in each bedroom. Nice serta perfect sleepers. Only negative in my opinion, heater unit in king room very noisy and goes on and off frequently, had to actually unplug the stupid thing. Room 121 right near lobby and breakfast area. Surprisingly quiet for a Friday night. Breakfast had scrambled eggs, sausage links, biscuits and gravy, waffle maker and typical bagels, etc. even took a couple apples and bananas for skiing. This is probably worth the $125 or so retail rate but would be more than what I would be willing to pay. The Cherry Tree inn(?) a couple mile down the street was advertising $69 rooms which is more in my budget. I would highly recommend this Comfort inn( Platinum award winner deservingly) if you are in that budget.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge; City: Traverse City Grand Traverse County Michigan; Review: We stayed here last year and saw the room we got for free for my daughter , son in law and boys. Room 300 has a king bed, nice dressers, and a 32" Samsung flat screen.( although not high def)Plenty of room and a door that closes. The other room has a pull out couch that is fine for a 6 and 9 year old but not adults. They have added a 22" Westinghouse flat screen in this room. A nice sized fridge and micro in between. Bath room average. A couple negatives, only 2 bath towels, 3 pillows in king bed. We could have requested more .the king bed had a spring exposed near my feet but otherwise comfortable. Breakfast has waffles, pastries, bad coffee, and cheap oj. But adequate. The pool is about 15 feet long, 3-4 feet deep. The hot tub is big. Holds 13 people and great. For $76 out the door senior rate this is a great value.keep in mind the Comfort inn TC would be $135 for the king and queen we stayed a month ago for free using our points. Don't rule it out. Regular 2 queens $55 retail.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Treetops Resort; City: Gaylord Otsego County Michigan; Review: After a loooong winter by March I was ready to book a golf package again at Treetops. My brother in law and I enjoyed it so much last year we brought another close friend.( 1 in our party had to cancel so it was the 3 of us) I will review our room 1st. Had a ground floor room #520 and it was great in my opinion and better than the Inn room we had last year, although that was huge also for 2 guys. This room must have had a 10-12 foot ceiling, a flat screen(didn't have time to watch), 2 very comfortable queens with a nice thick comforter, great pillows, and an Excellent air conditioning system which worked great and quiet. Kinda like a central air system. My shorter buddy gladly slept on a cot and it was snore city. We didn't have time to check out the pool/ hot tubs. We were just too whipped from so much golf. There was a love seat, separate chair, fridge and I believe micro and sliding door to an outdoor patio with chairs for a relaxing beer. Another strong point was the shower which supplied plenty of towels and although we didn't use it had a large hot tub with jets within the shower, must have been a 2 and a half foot climb into the shower/hot tub. I would not hesitate to bring my wife here but for us guys it was a big improvement in luxury compared to the furnishings at the Quality inn the night before. The buffet breakfast is awesome and as mentioned this year had 2 gentlemen making cooked to order omelettes and waffles . Just what you need to start a full day of golf. Included in pkg. Most folks know these courses are all good so I won't get into details(read two guys who golf reviews on specifics) we played Masterpiece, Tradition( totally different flavor)and 3tops the 1st day and Signature-3tops again 2nd.( we had to get home for bro laws son graduation) Highlight was my 68 year old buddy's Hole in 1 on the third hole at Threetops(Devils drop)from 207 yards with a 145 foot vertical drop which I captured on my Sony HD camcorder. Just topped it all off! All this for $125 each! (booked before the raised Signature upgrade fee to $20 from $10.)Great job Treetops and Jess H and the other girls at registration! Only draw back were the sand(less) traps at Masterpiece which were under construction /repair after a long winter. The man power working on the signature was a small army. We will be back and the difference between Treetops and other resorts is they include golf on day of arrival and departure, you can get a ton of golf in 2 days, just can't beat the value. Even better than Shanty Creek 6-7 years ago; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn; City: Gaylord Otsego County Michigan; Review: We arrived Memorial Day evening and had 2 bedroom reserved for 2 months, 3 of us guys to play golf at Treetops the next 2 days. The place was literally empty, 1 motorcycle parked on east side of motel besides our car. The room(s) were what I expected based on reviews for $124 otd senior rate. Room 240 on 2nd floor. Has 2 separate entrances which was nice and 2 baths. Full size fridge and freezer and older stove which we didn't use. Table and chairs for 6. The 1st room had 2 queens and a closing door for privacy and bath. Also a small table and 2-3 chairs. Drawbacks to this room- unusual air/heater system which we couldn't get to cool the 84 degree temp, even by morning it may have dropped a couple degrees. My buddy and bro law didn't complain. Also old tube TV. My room had 1 queen, a love seat, chair and tube tv. Air system was better but not super. Just turned it as low as it could go(60) and it was adequate. No closing door, walked right into kitchen.separate bath and entrance door. I used the pool(open til11) and there wasn't another soul around. Temp nice in pool. Was going to use hot tub but I had sunburn and it just felt too hot .pool had 8 foot almost half of roughly 25 foot long pool. Nice big and tall open pool area. In summary, the 3 of us split the 124 out the door senior rate to $41 each which was a decent value. They had a bunch of Sheetrock ready to install and improve lobby and who knows what else. The adjacent bar/lounge for 3 guys was ok and breakfast buffet(if I had to label it) consisted of ok scrambled eggs, sausage links, and potatoes. Only 1 toaster. Juice, coffee in lobby avg. guys felt a little creepy at bar for breakfast, they would only serve fried foods at 9:30 at night so we walked across street to LaSenioita Mexican which was a good move. I would not take my wife here for the included breakfast. If they put in good flat screens and got good air I would consider this place. With a family this would not be too bad, a good sized pool/ tub and large room. I'm not sure but I think this may be the only 2 bedroom here. The girls at desk were fine. See Treetops for my review of the Lodge the 2nd night, night and day difference. Don't rule this place out, kinda comparable to the Alpine lodge across street which had a great pool( originally a Holiday Inn Holidome); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn Birch Run; City: Birch Run Michigan; Review: Excellent value as we paid $71 senior rate for 2 queens. Marble/ granite and classy. Close to shopping outlet and Frankenmuth. But surprisingly quiet off 75. Would def stay again. Frankenmuth a great town. Zenders pricey but worth it; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn; City: Elkhart Indiana; Review: We had just gone to Shipsy to blue gate and finished up our week here to get points. Choice was offering a 2 night for 1 free Econolodge. I made a mistake by not " registering" for the deal and did not get credit for 6 nights at Choice hotels even after being a choice " privileges" member for 9 years! Stayed here about 7 yrs ago and I guess I'm getting spoiled in my older age. Seems the Sleep inns are going" downhill" a little. The bathroom lights and sliding doors are very cheap. Will try a different place next time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn Suites; City: Milan Michigan; Review: Yes it's literally a couple hundred feet from highway 23 and you will hear noise. We were on our way to Shipshewana and wanted to get points for Choice. Would not stay here again, too noisy and not anywhere as nice as the comfort inn the night before in Birch Run.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Hotel Beachfront; City: Mackinaw City Cheboygan County Michigan; Review: Wife and I took a late fall trip and love the island. 1st time wife and i biked around island.Never dissapointed at the Clarion. Great fall rates. Had 2 for 1 shuttle to island. Went for last day of boat tour of Pictured Rocks. Will stay again; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn Traverse City; City: Traverse City Grand Traverse County Michigan; Review: We had stayed here last year and it is one of the best and used our Choice points. Took the grandsons skiing at Crystal and they look forward to the pool and hot tub which is open 24 hours by the way. I give credit that they allow you one of their best rooms to use the points.…; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Treetops Resort; City: Gaylord Otsego County Michigan; Review: Came here for the 3rd year in a row as you just can't beat 2 full days of golf on name brand courses, night of lodging and a great buffet breakfast for $164 out the door. That includes the$20 surcharge for the Rick Signature course which is our favorite and worth the surcharge. Between that course, the Fazio Premier,the Jones Masterpiece, and the #1 par Threetops ,(and Tradition)there's not a better group of courses. As far as lodging the Lodge is your best bet. I have stayed in the Inn once and lodge twice. At first they put us in a room with maybe a 8 foot ceiling or so with an old air conditioning unit which was not working.(well they had frost the week before so maybe it wasnt turned on yet)They accommodated us to room 520 with the vaulted 10 foot or so ceiling with the central air system we had last year. (Actually the heat switch was still on from last weeks frost but turned air on easily and cooled down fast)Thanks guys. This year we had time to check out the pool and hot tubs. A 10 person indoor tub and a larger maybe 20 person outdoor tub.The outdoor pool is roughly 50 feet long but only 5 feet or so deep. Lotta of room. Sauna was inoperable on our May 26 stay.only recommendation of the room is to flip your mattress, worn to one side badly. LG tv(40"or so) was high def and nice couch an love seat. Lots of room. Door to outside was rusted on exterior. Now on to the food / restaurant. The breakfast at the Legends on the hill is a fabulous buffet. Great omelette made to order. Just fantastic. The $12 price tag is a bargain but was included in our unlimited package. During a rainstorm after our 36 hole day was done we tried the sports bar downstairs of the Legends. Was fantastic. Buddy and I shared the potatoe skins which had chicken, bacon, and jalopenos. Excellent. I got a supreme pizza which was great( leftovers) and my buddy got a huge Cobb salad. For $2 they even had a great Petoskey brewery pint of lager. We go up on Memorial Day not fighting the traffic and its pretty vacant the days after. I called the Saturday of the Masters( early-mid April) and got the 1st tee times of the day at 8 am. We just love the mountain like golf at Treetops, you can't beat it. Thanks Sarah F and all the other employees, we will be back! It's too bad the Otsego club ski area( we stayed and played the Tribute and Black Forest a few years ago)isn't open to the public, I would bring the grandsons for a weekend to try the slopes of Treetops. Attached are a few ski area pictures right outside from the Legends My buddy Dave who got a hole in one last year at Threetops on #3, a 209 yard 145 foot vertical drop! If Trevino won a million on a90 foot drop; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn; City: Gaylord Otsego County Michigan; Review: We stayed here last year in the 2 bed/2 bath unit upstairs with 3 of us. This year there was only 2 of us going golfing at Treetops the next 2 days so a got a 2 queen regular room on the ground floor. The air conditioing unit was fine.The room was fine for the $71 including tax senior rate. The tv is now a flat screen Panasonic but didnt seem like High def, maybe a 32" or so.The beds are a little firm in my opinion and the bath is a 7 foot ceiling.( I'm 6'8") The pool is quite nice and built years ago with a 8 foot deep end( almost half the roughly 30 foot long pool and probably close to a 20 foot ceiling)The hot tub is HOT which it should be but had a strange odor.( not chlorine)We were the only ones in the pool/ tub again this year. Big improvement in the breakfast as it is adjacent to the checkin area and all new rather than the bar next door which looked closed.Had a machine that made fresh pancakes, never saw one before. Pretty good, even the orange juice was a little better. Stayed on Memorial Day evening and was not busy at all, in fact the town was quite dead, people going home after the holiday. That's when we go. It seems they are taking their time refurbishing this hotel, in my opinion it should be done within a year. Stay here to get our points with Choice. They have a lot a buy 2 nights get 1 free, or $50 gift card. If you want turkey go to Gobblers! And if you golf Treetops is the bomb! It's too bad the Otsego club is a private ski area, I would take the grandsons there and to Treetops to ski. There is a Burger King and Quidoba next door. Take the old Phillips 66 sign down in front!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hawks Eye Golf Resort; City: Bellaire Antrim County Michigan; Review: Played Memorial Day, were only a dozen or so cars in lot. Expected to pay $39 but they charged us only $30 at 1 pm. Was ranked 12th in state( tied with Thousand Oaks) so I expected great things. Layout of the course is very nice but the condition was fair at best. The first 5-6 holes had a lot of brown on fairways, tees and greens. Almost like they applied wrong fertilizer. Disappointing. It got a little better after 5-6 holes but its a shame. If you want to draw golfers the course has got to be in better shape . Too bad cause its a nice layout. Played on our way to Treetops which was fantastic. Hope the Shanty Creek courses aren't in this bad of condition. Still was a great value at $30.didnt even think about the Chief as this was supposed to be the better course.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn Homestead Park; City: Billings Montana; Review: Breakfast was easily worth $10 each and the cook and crew worked their butts off. Motel was fine in anticipation of flying home the next day. Kind of off the beaten path a bit( not right off I90 in other words) and after driving through Yellowstone and over the Beartooth was a good respite. Would definitely stay again if in area but I doubt we'll be.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn Suites; City: Butte Montana; Review: After coming from Cranbrook BC through the Idaho panhandle and western Montana we needed a good bed and this was good. Right close to I 90 and a large breakfast area with the typical breakfast. Would stay again, very fair rates. Was glad to see a pizza ranch in town for a great $12 buffet with broasted chicken famous in the Midwest.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge Missoula; City: Missoula Montana; Review: Drove across Montana after flying to Billings from Mi on way to Glacier np and a wedding in Lethbridge Ab. This was a decent $80 or so room very close to the I 90 exit. Has elevator, nice office check in people. Loved the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation a couple miles up the street and as a skier stopped by the Missoula Snow Bowl. Can't go wrong with Kracker Barrel a mile up the street. Nothing super exciting about this place but nothing wrong with it, no pool but a hot tub we didn't use. Enjoy the beautiful ride up to Glacier np and Flathead lake. A gondola ride up Big Mtn( Whitefish Lake resort) was a great view, too bad I couldn't ski it in August.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge Inn Suites; City: Lethbridge Alberta; Review: Pretty good Econolodge and great value. I think it was about$80 Canadian so maybe $50 ish US. Was clean but NO elevator with outdoor entrances. Not bad in August but I imagine winters not good. Avg breakfast. We got in fairly late. Choice had the stay 2 night get a $50 gift card so we stayed the night before wedding after coming from Missoula the night before and driving the "going to the sun highway" through Glacier NP and the boat tour in Waterton. For some reason the Econolodges in Alberta (Lethbridge, Hinton)were way better than the 2 we stayed at in British Columbia(Golden, Cranbrook) For about $40 more(Can) we stayed at the Quality Inn a few miles east( or should I say kilometers) the next night which was fairly new and well worth the difference. If you are on a tight budget this motel will be fine.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Cranbrook; City: Cranbrook Kootenay Rockies British Columbia; Review: Drove from Hinton Alberta back down the Icefields parkway( most beautiful drive ever) toward Idaho and this place was quite old. A big gap in the door, tube tv, park outside your door, kind of a '70s look. Reasonably clean and priced, better than the Econolodge in Golden but not by much. The best thing was the fresh made to order breakfast( eggs, toast, bacon) in the attached restaurant. Excellent waitress. Oh by studying TripAdvisor we tried Mikes steakhouse which was excellent.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Garland Lodge Resort; City: Lewiston Michigan; Review: I had been wanting to visit garland for quite some time but the pricing was not competitive to treetops but my wife and I got the $99 each stay and play pkg on way back from the Soo. We had played Black Lake Onaway(excellent tract) earlier in the week so Garland was up against stiff competition. Stayed in the south wing and was given a queen bed which was supposed to be a king bed and was moved to the king right next to the queen room immediately so pretty good Service. Pretty nice room but air conditioning did not work too well had to open windows. Nice bathroom but all the Jets did not work in shower. A sumptuous breakfast buffet was outstanding and was told there were only 38 guests lodging on a Thursday evening. Kind of an eerie feeling Woke up the next morning having coffee out on the small balcony and recognized a strange animal sound and found out it was elk bugling in the distance a really cool thing to witness. So being we had the first tee time of the day at 9 o'clock the swamp fire course was unique hearing elk bugling on a Friday morning. Then to top off the stay I got my first hole-in-one on the 160 yard par third hole which I waited 44 years! I would love to return with a few golf buddies but the quote I received from Garland was extremely high to play all four courses in two days The end of May The Swampfire course had water on 16 out of 18 holes and from the Tips was a bear I cannot imagine what the monarch course would give me, maybe we will step to the plate and splurge to get to play the other three courses with my buddies . The resort is very isolated and off the beaten path which is kind of cool also but don't rely on your GPS kind of hard to find after dark but worth it just the same Will always be remembered as my first call on one after several close calls golfing now this year and my 45th year of golf; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn Suites; City: Lethbridge Alberta; Review: Stayed here after staying in the Econolodge in town the night before. Choice had their stay 2 nights get a $50 gift card with two separate motels.In Lethbridge for a wedding. Fairly new hotel with 4 or 5 floors with of course an elevator. Stayed on top floor. Kind of the newer side of town(east) with the higher end hotels like Fairfield Marriott. They had a neat looking pool with water slide but we didn't have time to try it with the wedding/ reception etc. I think it was about $100 can or $75 us so an excellent value. Typical breakfast but we patronize Timmy Hortons so it's all good. About an hour and a half from Waterton NP( Canadian side of Glacier NP) and very beautiful. Take the boat tour. Also within a few hours of Banff, Lake Louise and the gorgeous Icefields parkway. Boy Calgary is a big spread out city. Makes Lethbridge look like a little village. Man I'm glad my nephew married a girl from Lethbridge!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Waterview on The Bay; City: Wiarton Bruce County Ontario; Review: On way to Bruce peninsula and Manitoulin Island we needed a reasonably priced one night room. Stayed 8/29/17 in a bottom floor basic 2 double for $ 118 cdn or about $95 us otd. Keep in mind going into Labor Day wkend.Booked a month ahead. The beds were comfy ( although a little short for me expectantly)and made no noise and pillows good. Bath perfectly adequate. Tv very small. Small ac unit drowned out any noise. Short ceiling about 7 feet, I'm 6'7". Wife said it was fine. Tim Horton 2 miles away. One negative, tight parking and very close to road.( although not a very busy road) The nice thing is the grounds. About 400' walk to small beach, chairs, lots of nice flowers the wife loved, horseshoes, volleyball and swimming pool. A very nice sunset. Although I do not expect to come back through this way I would recommend Waterview and Tammys hands on establishment. She even had a TripAdvisor flag!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Peacock Villa Motel; City: Tobermory Bruce County Ontario; Review: TripAdvisor guided me to choose this little gem for a reasonable price and nicely located. Stayed 2 nights 8/30/17and 31st. PJ is a great young man who checked us in and talked extensively. . I'll put a plug in for Robert who manned the desk and actually owns a b+b across the street. We stayed in room 0 right next to the office and unlike what others said the bathroom was fine just a little tight when sitting on the throne. The beds were ok but I would suggest 2 things to the owners. Maybe throw a couple extra blankets in the dresser and throw a inexpensive air unit in the windows, it drowns out the noise. But in fairness pretty quiet. Oh the beds seemed to tilt down to your head. $257cdn for 2 nights. Knotty. pine and about a 19" tv. Enjoyed our time on the Bruce. Greig's caves was the highlight for us , enjoyed it more than the Grotto. Friendliest chipmunks I ever saw! Seriously; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Mystic Isle Motel; City: Wawa Northeastern Ontario Ontario; Review: On Lk Superior circle tour and stayed at High falls cabins 9 yrs ago but was no vacancy. Went by TA and was not disappointed here at Mystic Isle. $100 complete cdn and this is a great room. Queen beds are soft and to my liking, large screen( 36-40" ) flatscreen, knotty pine or log look, tiled bath and fridge.( made a wierd sound like mice") Coffee pot had no filter! Volume on tv didn't work. Hisence brand? Big holes in middle of bed. ( flip mattresses?)These are the negatives. Cool enough that we didn't need ac but would recommend installing. Very dark and road noise from trucks not too bad. A lot of closed businesses around but a beautiful drive up 17. Don't miss the pictographs!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gunflint Lodge Outfitters; City: Grand Marais Minnesota; Review: To me the Gunflint trail bored us for 2 hours round trip. Not avid hikers or canoers, campers we saw abosolutely no wildlife.

Title: My Friends Inn Manitoulin; City: Manitowaning Manitoulin Island Northeastern Ontario Ontario; Review: Deserving of top 25 Canadian value on TA. Wife opened door to room 4 next to office and smiled and gave me the thumbs up. Very comfy king bed, neat electric fireplace under Sony tv, fridge, micro, chair, kitchenette w table chairs ,and a good fan (ceiling and wall ac unit) to drown out any conversations through walls. Stayed 9/1/17 Fri. Island has the most cedar historic fencing I have ever seen. 10 mile viewpoint on Rt 6 beautiful.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Superior Ridge Resort Motel; City: Schroeder Minnesota; Review: This was a very nice room overlooking Lake superior everything about it was great and no one else was in the four unit building E there really isn't nothing to complain about but one minor thing is the bedding is should be flipped the mattresses in the TV reception was not good but Bruce runs a real nice place here and it was very quiet and serene and at $105 dollars it was a good value the wife love it; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shanty Creek Resort Summit Village; City: Bellaire Antrim County Michigan; Review: Got the hair of the dog package with golf and lodging and Carrie and Marc upgraded us to the third floor overlooking Lake Bel Air and the ski area was a fantastic Roomwith a cathedral ceiling very large Rome good beds and pillows although a small TV but we were able to watch the Michigan Michigan State game Saturday night October 7, 2017. Although this building I believe was built by Hilton back in the 60s it is in very good shape and a gorgeous setting we arrive Saturday evening and there were three weddings. So it was busy but we got registered very quickly and thanks to Mark and Carrie we were upgraded on our reservation with the package with golf on the legend to wait third floor floor room overlooking Lake Bel Air which was fantastic with a nice overhang deck. You can tell when I place is Built well because the floors do not make a noise and they are solid and although I am 6'7" and the bathroom is only about 7 foot but still it was OK and upgraded with the granite countertop. The TV was high definition may be a 36 inch but showed the Michigan and Michigan State game very well The golfing was great and I reported on that on another side the legend and my wife enjoyed it tremendously and it is a very large room and like I said the views are super. The breakfast at the Lakeview is very good with a buffet and kudos to the omelette maker I ate two of them and I did not need me to any lunch a great day and a great time and a great golf package for $69 each hair of the dog package; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Best Western Of Harbor Springs; City: Harbor Springs Emmet County Michigan; Review: And ended up staying here only one night instead of the two that were planned and the office girls and very accommodating to cancel the second night. Stayed here Saturday night January 20, 2018 with a total of five ski buddies. Although the room was $170 plus taxes and fees plus the rollaway bed for $15 out the door total of about $200 I feel it was still a very good value and this Room had so much space it was unbelievable. The two queen beds in the one bedroom at it nice sized 40 inch TV or so with a handicap sized bathroom with a lot of space, the bed was extremely comfortable and so are the pillows, the other room I had a full kitchen all the utensils in full fridge ,four-person table and chairs pull out couch and a wood burning fireplace fully equipped with the wood. I talked briefly with the owner and older gentleman named Carl and he was working the breakfast and had 2waffle machine, Jimmy Dean sausage sandwiches and above average fruit. Although no hot eggs or bacon or sausage. The hot tub accommodated seven people and was just the right temperature to Soak after skiing all day at Boyne Mountain. The second night that we canceled was supposed to be I believe about $100 substantially less money for Sunday night and if you can get this suite on a weeknight for that price and goal ski it is a fabulous about value the two room suite is very large and well worth it in the walk-in from your door from the outside no stairs to climb Thank you to Karel and the management here at the best Western of Harbor Springs I will be back with my wife and grandchildren on future ski trips very well run very clean very accommodating set up I don't know why I have not been involved with best Western they have it all over the choice privileges as far as I'm concerned; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Apple Tree Inn; City: Petoskey Emmet County Michigan; Review: Took the wife, daughter, 3 grandson and granddaughter to Boyne Avalanche Bay sat3/3/18 and skied Nubs Sunday. Couldn't get the suite at BWestern HS so got a 2 room suite here. For $193 otd it was a fair value but not the same quality as the BW HS. The floor was uneven and only 1 bath. 2 queens in one and 1 queen in the other. Had bottom floor, very little view of bay and lots of road noise. Charter cable tv not working when we got there but after swimming in the pool and hot tub was working. ( nice temps in them) Breakfast area rather small and items ok. I see a lot of hotels in Petoskey change ownership and name brands recently. Americinn is now Days Inn, Super 8 now Americinn, Days Inn now Americas best value, Econolodge now Windsor. At least Apple tree hasn't changed. Would consider again but would get the suite at Best Western Harbor Springs first if available.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Suites DuBois; City: DuBois Pennsylvania; Review: Excellent stay here , highly recommended, very fancy lobby, staircase chandeliers. Large room, good beds, only $93 out the door. Did not see/ use pool. Great breakfast , bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs seemed real, waffles etc w good juice and coffee. REAL silverware . Nice efficient check in at 9:30 pm. Nice older neighborhood, pond, church and golf course onsite. Would definitely stay again . Quiet Sunday 4/29/18; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Northern Nights Campground and RV Park; City: Glennallen Alaska; Review: We made a phone call on the way to Glen Allen left a message and Marc called us back that means a lot being a performer salesman. So we stayed here the place was well run Marc greeted us although not very private and quite loud with trucks and vehicles on the Glenn Highway . He gave us two tokens to shower the bathrooms you were excellent and electricity work that's all that mattered so hats off to Marc. If you want very very quiet secluded nurse this is not the place but if you want to clean fairly priced well run smaller campground next to a busy intersection this is the place for you; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bird Creek Motel RV Park; City: Bird Creek Anchorage Alaska; Review: Found this little gem on TripAdvisor and it didn't disappoint after spending the last week in a tight camper truck and needing some amenities and comforts for the wife. ( and s good shower compared to campgrounds)stayed 9/26/2018 The room was great although the twin beds are short( I am 6'8") I like to support a family owned business once in s while. I could have driven up to the great Clarion suites for $89 otd senior rate but will do that again tonight. There are 12 rooms and for $77 $69 plus tax a good value; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Suites Downtown; City: Anchorage Alaska; Review: This is a room with two queen beds and a second room with a couch two TVs and a very tall ceiling which is great for me 10 foot approximately I cannot reach it and I am 6 foot eight everything is clean and functional and for $89 out the door at excellent excellent value I would suggest getting a top floor room overlooking the park to the self we did not use the pool or hot tub but my wife did some laundry and everything was great there is a Benny ha ha next-door walkable which is overpriced but we may stay again on our way flying outTheoblem for us just had plenty a room I do not know if the couch folds out for kids but you can't go wrong To me it was worth a lot more than the comfort and ship Creek I would gladly stay here again; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rodeway Inn; City: Decatur Indiana; Review: Went by reviews here to split trip in half and was 90% satisfied with our first ever stay in a Rodeway inn. Super spacious king bed suite with 2 person whirlpool. Room 201.Everything was great except my wife is a stickler for cleanliness and there were cob webs here and there( lamp shades , corners of ceilings) The king bed was super comfy, whirlpool hard to get into and small for 2 large people. Room was huge. Breakfast typical worthless, go to McDonald's in Berne. For $72 otd senior a steal, 2nd floor,NO ELEVATOR. Was formerly Econolodge, same quality. Speaking of quality there's a Qualty inn ( choice) directly across street. Would stay again if passing through. NO MORE POOL.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn Airport; City: Manchester New Hampshire; Review: My buddy and his son and I stayed here after skiing four days in New Hampshire. They were going to fly back on a Monday so we stayed here because of the proximity to the airport and the free shuttle which they got. I booked a suite with one bedroom with a king bed that I slept in in a separate bedroom with two double beds that my buddy and his son stayed in Denver very large rooms at the bathroom was average in size. The only negative was extreme noise next to the highway of the night it was very nice hotel. Stayed 1/6/19 Sunday I would give it five stars because the road was very good and the bed was extremely comfortable in the bathroom last night food was average but the biggest fraud back for me was the very loud noise of the highway if you can deal with that it's a great hotel Here are some ski pictures from New Hampshire; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn; City: Clarion Pennsylvania; Review: Good clean inexpensive $59 plus tax senior rate a mile off 80. Quiet and now on my long term list .

Title: Quality Inn; City: Gaylord Otsego County Michigan; Review: This is now the third time I have stayed here. After going to several best westerns and other brands I am finding this quality inn average at best compared to Others in a Saturday night February 9, 2019 and I have a loud snowmobile are you doing right outside my window at the back of the building where I requested quiet and peace away from the highway but didn't know there were so many snowmobiles doing here and it is 930 I went skiing at the Otsego club today for the first time and it was quite unique you can see my review. But I think it will be the last time I stay here if it wasn't so inexpensive I would not stay here. Anyone who pays close to $100 a night is foolish because there are a brand new Fairfield Inn right next door and I would not think it would be much more money so I guess this will be it although the old 8 foot deep pool it's kind of nice and the water was quite warm but the hot tub is under reconstruction. There are only four vehicles parked on the east side of the hotel on a Saturday night so they are not getting much business here it's too bad because they have made someone prove that spot I guess it still needs more to keep up with all the competition in the area The snowmobilers should have a little bit more respect; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Hotel Exe Paris Centre; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: This is a fantastic hotel that is reasonably priced and in a good location with friendly staff. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the buffet breakfast has extensive choice and excellent value for money. It is in a decent neighborhood too, only five minutes walk from the Gare Saint-Lazare train station and a twenty minute walk from the River Seine (and your first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower). There are also some very nice cafe/restaurants within walking distance.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mitchelcroft B B; City: Buckfastleigh Dartmoor National Park Devon England; Review: We've joined Tripadvisor just so we can review Mitchelcroft, because it is quite simply the best B&B we have ever stayed in. From the moment you arrive and are warmly greeted by Debbie and Michael - before being ushered into the lovely guest lounge to relax with tea (or coffee) and cake in front of a roaring log fire - you know you are going to have a marvelous time. The house is beautiful, the rooms are fantastic (we stayed in the Holne Room), and the views are stunning. We opted for two of the platters on the evening we arrived and both were delicious with so many wonderful little touches that really made it special, not least having them served in the breakfast/dining room looking out over the rolling Devon hills. Breakfast itself is also magnificent with a huge selection of fresh fruit, cereal, croissants, and toast as well as a wide range of additional cooked options. Last but not least there are slices of delicious home-made cake left in your room at the end of every day, which were always a lovely treat to come back to. At the risk of repeating myself it really is the endless little touches which make your stay so special and you get the feeling nothing is too much trouble. We are not at all surprised to hear so many people return having stayed once; we fully intend to hopefully do so as well. I must also mention the generous and equally delicious packed lunches which are on offer, should you be heading off for a walk. It's difficult to choose a favourite feature but we would definitely highlight the views - being able to sit directly outside the room on a small private decking area is treat - the chemical-free, natural toiletries and lush Egyptian cotton towels (and heated floor) in the bathroom, and just the overall high level of quality in each and every area and the attention to detail. It really is a wonderful experience staying here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Glenview; City: Staffin Isle of Skye The Hebrides Scotland; Review: An absolutely beautiful B&B with a really quaint, individual style and a wonderfully warm welcome from your hosts. The room we stayed in was lovely, with some nice touches like bottled water and apples, and we had a really nice view (we were at the front). There is a good walk across the main road, down to a small secluded cove/beach, and another if you follow the smaller road past the B&B to the top of the hill where you are rewarded with some stunning views. Breakfast is delicious and very, very generous; we couldn't finish all of ours in the end and took some of it away with us! During the day there is also a pie café downstairs which we can highly recommend, and it has several vegetarian options which always makes a nice change. Looking forward to returning this July!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Exe Paris Centre; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: We stayed here for the third time recently and, as on previous trips, it did not disappoint. We arrived in the midst of an unprecedented heatwave so we were incredibly grateful that our room had fully functioning air conditioning! We were at the front, on the fifth floor, but the noise from the road/street was not at all excessive and as a bonus that must be the older part of the building because we had lovely wooden beams to admire in the ceiling as well. The staff were, as always, friendly and helpful and the tasty buffet breakfast remains excellent value for money particularly if you book in advance on the website and take advantage of the discounts they offer. It is the location that is one of the best parts of any stay though. You can walk down to the Jardin de Tuilleries/Louvre and the river Seine within an easy 20 minutes, and Gare Saint Lazare station is five minutes down the road for access to the Metro or some main line services. There are also some good cafe/restaurants close by, and a number of shops. All in all a really nice hotel, centrally located and very reasonably priced. I can't imagine us staying anywhere else in Paris!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn London Kensington Earl s Court Hotel; City: London England; Review: Although all Premier Inns are very similar this stands out in part due to the staff. Everyone we encountered was polite, helpful, efficient, and friendly and they really did make our stay feel special. It's possible to drop your luggage off to be stored if you arrive before the 2pm check-in time, which is handy, and there's no charge; all they ask is that you make a small donation to the Great Ormond Street charity tin they have at Reception (if you can). We were also allowed to check-in slightly early as our room was ready and that was really helpful since we had something to get to mid-afternoon. The room was clean and spacious and even though we were above a road it was very quiet. Location-wise it is fantastic, just a two minute walk from Earl's Court Underground station (down the road that's straight ahead when you cross at the lights having come out the Earl's Court Road entrance). We ate in the Restaurant three times and again the staff were helpful, letting us know that even though we'd already pre-paid for breakfast we could still take advantage of the Meal Deal (£14.99 for two courses and a drink). That made it good value and the food was nice. Breakfast was very busy every day but the staff were incredibly efficient, clearing tables almost instantly for the next guests and ensuring everything was topped up whenever it came close to running out. Despite the busyness we never felt rushed either and you can eat as much as you want, with plenty of choice both for the cooked and the continental options. We'd definitely stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cardhu Country House; City: Aberlour Moray Scotland; Review: Although we are fairly local I treated my husband (and me!) to a night here for his birthday - after a trip to the nearby Macallan distillery - and I'm so pleased I did as it was absolutely wonderful. The house itself is beautiful, in a quiet village with views across the nearby rolling hills, and we received a lovely warm welcome on arrival. Our room was in the 'attic' and it was excellent; really comfortable and with lots of extra luxuries like fluffy soft bathrobes, home-made biscuits, and a really comfy couch with plenty of cushions! Everything was also spotlessly clean, and we really liked the nice little touches like the pretty lamps strategically placed round the room and the unusual (main) light fitting. Breakfast the next morning was very tasty too with delicious home-made fruit-yoghurt-granola pots, freshly squeezed orange juice, cereal, toast, tea and coffee plus a choice of cooked items. Throughout we were offered refills of tea/coffee and toast, and you definitely don't leave the table feeling hungry! We honestly couldn't fault a thing with our room, or our experience in general, and we were only sorry that we were just staying the one night. Considering the quality of everything we also found the price very reasonable, especially during peak season. We definitely hope to be back next time we want to visit Speyside!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Royal Hotel Cromarty; City: Cromarty Ross and Cromarty Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: We eat here fairly regularly and we can honestly say, the food never disappoints! Our most recent visit was at lunchtime on Easter Sunday, so there was just a set menu with the choice of either 2 or 3 courses. I must say first of all that the thing I appreciate most is the fact there's a vegetarian option which comes with the same accompaniments as the other meals. It makes such a difference and a nice change from other places which only offer say (bland) pasta or risotto, and leave you feeling like you're missing out. I had the Vegetable Wellington, which was superb and also usually available on the regular menu, and my husband the roast beef, which he informed me was delicious and very tender. Both of came with a really nice selection of several vegetables, and both roast potatoes and new potatoes. The desserts were equally lovely; Lemon Posset for me and Fudge Chocolate Brownie for my husband. As with everything they're beautifully presented too and the portions are generous but not over the top. Even though it was busy we didn't have to wait long at all for our food, despite it clearly being freshly cooked, and the staff are always lovely and friendly. Price-wise it's about average for a nice restaurant and everything is always good quality. There's also lighter bites available on the normal lunchtime menu. We really would highly recommend eating here when you're in Cromarty, especially if you're vegetarian!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Gruline Home Farm; City: Gruline Isle of Mull The Hebrides Scotland; Review: There are so many things to recommend about this lovely B&B it's difficult to know where to start. The location is amazing with stunning views, especially from the guest conservatory. On arrival we were offered tea and coffee (with shortbread) in there which we thoroughly enjoyed (despite the howling wind outside!) and we used it again to relax with a book for a little while one afternoon. The guest bedrooms enjoy the same great view, which you can even see from the bed, and ours was spacious with every home comfort you could want including the offer of fresh milk if you prefer it. It was also really nice to have a bath to relax in at the end of a day exploring, and the breakfast each day was plentiful and delicious. We couldn't have been made to feel more welcome and if/when we visit Mull again we would definitely return here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn London City Tower Hill Hotel; City: London England; Review: You can't usually go wrong staying at a Premier Inn and this one lives up to expectations. The room we were in was large, clean, and comfortable. We were also at the back of the hotel, which meant there was no noise whatsoever despite being in central London. Location-wise it is fantastic, a 5 minute walk from the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, and a bit less than that from Tower Hill Underground station (and the DLR station) which makes it perfect for traveling around too. The staff we encountered were all very friendly and helpful, and even though we arrived early (at 12.30pm) they offered to check if our room was ready and - as it was - they let us check-in there and then, which was great. The breakfast was also very good and well organised, with plenty of everything available and lots of choice. We'd definitely stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Coul House Hotel; City: Contin Ross and Cromarty Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: We read about the Afternoon Tea here in a local magazine and it sounded amazing; now we've experienced it I can honestly say it really is. The hotel itself looks lovely from the outside, once you've made your way up the long winding driveway, and inside it is just as nice. We were greeted by a very friendly lady on Reception then taken through the bar area and some very comfy seats. It's a really cosy room and I imagine it's even nicer in the cold weather when the fire is lit. We really liked the fact you get to choose the items you want for your Afternoon Tea, which means you can get exactly what you'd like and reduces the chance of any waste. We both chose two different types of sandwich, two cakes, and a scone with cream and jam. The sandwiches were very tasty and there were a lot of them. They serve you those first and wait until you're finished before bringing the cakes out, which was a good way to do it. The cakes themselves were delicious but the stand-out of it all was the scones. We cannot rate those highly enough! We actually found we couldn't finish all the cakes, but were delighted when they offered us a box to take them home in so they didn't get wasted. There is also shortbread and tablet served with the tea and coffee, so that came home with us as well! The staff are all extremely friendly, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. We were frequently offered refills for the tea and coffee, and we didn't feel rushed at all so it was really relaxing and we were able to pace ourselves and savour it all. The cost is a little on the higher side but because you choose your own individual items (and the prices are on the menu) you can control how much you want to spend, and to be fair you are paying for the quality of it all and the high standard of the surroundings and facilities, and the staff. We certainly felt it was value for money. To make it even more interesting the resident pooches pay you a visit while you're there, including one little Yorkshire Terrier who is just adorable (even though you'll feel guilty when it is patiently sitting there watching you eat!). We really did enjoy our Afternoon Tea experience and now we've finally discovered it, we'll definitely be back for this rather special treat!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Northlands Bed and Breakfast; City: Pitlochry Perth and Kinross Scotland; Review: We really cannot speak highly enough of this beautiful B&B and the wonderfully warm welcome we received. Tucked away just off the main high street in Pitlochry it is in a beautiful, quiet location. Our room had views to the front of the property from the stunning bay window and we could see right across to the hills beyond. The room itself is decorated and furnished to an extremely high standard and there were some lovely little touches left for us, like tasty treats and a small decanter of local whiskey. It genuinely feels like nothing would be too much trouble. Despite feeling secluded you're only a few minutes walk from the town centre (and if you're there for the annual Enchanted Forest event, the bus stop is less than 5 minutes away). We had a fantastic nights sleep and the breakfast the following morning was truly something else, with an epic buffet which included several cereals, home-made granola, a cheese and meat platter, crusty bread, fresh fruit, pastries, and cake/muffins. Not to mention toast with every kind of spread you can imagine. Finally there's the cooked option which my husband - having gone for the full version, with everything - declared to be absolutely delicious! We really did love staying here and were sorry it was only for one night. That said, we've already booked our return visit (when we go to next year's Enchanted Forest)!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Coul House Hotel; City: Contin Ross and Cromarty Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: Since first discovering this little gem we've treated ourselves to the Afternoon Tea a couple more times, and it continues to be one of the best we've experienced. Aside from the hotel itself being a beautiful location, especially this month when it was decorated for Christmas, the staff are really lovely. Attentive without being annoying, warm and friendly, and extremely efficient. We still think it is a great idea that you can choose your own options from a menu, as it means there's less waste (and you can take home anything you do leave) plus you can pick your favourites and only spend as much as you want since they're all individually priced. I also really appreciate there being several vegetarian options for the sandwich fillings, my favourite still being the Clava Brie and Apple Jelly. The scones are amazing, with a generous amount of cream and jam, and the cakes are equally delicious. We both chose festive items this time for those, and the mince pies in particular were fantastic. The whole thing is rounded off with as much tea and coffee as you can drink, and home-made shortbread and tablet (if you've any space left!). We really cannot rate this highly enough and it's a treat we thoroughly look forward to, and one we plan to indulge in next year as well since we're lucky enough to be local-ish! We also enjoy the little visits we get from the resident pooch, even though it does make it every hard to eat when they're sitting looking longingly at your food! Oh, and don't forget to round off your visit with a little wander round the delightful Fairy Trail before you head off. We're pretty sure we even spotted some new tiny houses this time... Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Station Hotel; City: Rothes Moray Scotland; Review: We had an absolutely lovely time at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone. Right from the start every member of staff we encountered was polite, friendly, professional, and efficient. It really felt as though, genuinely, nothing was too much trouble, including requesting fresh milk for the room. Our room itself was very nice, comfortable and clean and with heating which you could adjust yourself and a window which opened. We really appreciated this as all too often hotel rooms can be too hot or cold and there's nothing you can do to control it. One of the best parts was the breakfast each morning. I had pancakes with berries and maple syrup, which were absolutely delicious, and my husband assures me the full Scottish was equally so. There was also the usual cereal/fruit/pastries, and the offer of toast. I must add that I really liked the fact the butter was fresh, rather than in small packets, and the jams/marmalade/honey were local and in glass jars. As someone who hates plastic packaging/waste this was great to see! It also added to the overall feeling of quality. There were only a couple of tiny niggles for us, which really were tiny. Although the Tassimo machine in the room is great for coffee, I personally don't find the tea from those machines tastes as good so it would be nice to have the option of hot water and proper tea. Also, our room was on the first floor (at the front) and we could hear the music from downstairs until 11pm, which may be an issue for some folk if they're trying to sleep earlier than that. None of those affected our enjoyment of the stay at all though and, as already mentioned, we had an absolutely lovely time. We can also recommend the food, both in the restaurant and the Bistro (which share the same menus). Although the normal price of the rooms is a little above our usual budget, by staying out of season in January we got an extremely good deal and we'd definitely love to come back again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nether Glenny Cottages; City: Stirling Scotland; Review: The cottages are in a truly stunning location, with expansive views across the surrounding countryside and down to the lake below (which make braving the drive up the very steep track well worth it!). We stayed in Merlin and it was absolutely lovely, very cosy and comfortable. Some breakfast items are provided when you check-in, and if you're staying more than one night you can ask for refills. There is also a fully-stocked kitchenette area, which is useful. It is a very peaceful spot and there are some fantastic walks directly from the cottages. We'd recommend the one outlined in the folder provided by the owners, which takes you up the nearby hill, through forest, and past a small loch until you eventually join up with the Rob Roy Way. It's worth bearing in mind that you will be passing close by some Highland Cattle on the hill, however the ones we encountered were placid so it's not an issue providing you are sensible (and don't have a fear of cows!). Once you've done all that walking there are some outdoor seats which really make the most of the views, and we especially enjoyed watching the sunset on our first night. We'd booked the home-made pizzas (and salad) for the day we arrived and can highly recommend those as well; both were absolutely delicious. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, and overall it really is a lovely, relaxing place to spend a few days. Oh, and the icing on the cake is the up-close visits from the resident Peacocks!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Zuri Kumarakom; City: Kumarakom Kottayam District Kerala; Review: I have been to kumarakom only twice. This was the second trip and I stayed in Zurich. It is a good property, but there is nothing exceptional about it, that you keep wondering if the room rates are really worth it. We stayed in a cottage with a private pool. The cottage was really nice. The setting of the resort also was very nice. The staff was friendly and was helpful in giving suggest on sight seeing. Food was average and we felt that we didn't get the money's worth. Overall I would ratethe experience as good, but there is no option here to rate it as good, so going with very good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Galaxy Hotel Spa; City: Gurugram Gurgaon Gurgaon District Haryana; Review: I spent close to 1 week in Galaxy and more than 2 weeks involved in negotiations and used their board rooms. As a business user i was satisfied with the facilities apart from the fact that they charged quite a bomb for the internet usage. Since i was staying there, I didn't have any issues with respect to WiFi since it came as a package with the rack rates. The hotel has very good interiors and the rooms are really nice. Galaxy is known for it Spa which came highly recommended by a client. They also provide good shopping experience with several shops selling branded items are located inside the hotel. They also had a good movie rental library. The food, especially the continental options were really good. Breakfast was quite ordinary and had the same menu through out my stay. There is also a good Chinese restaurant and Howzzat (Cricket Theme pub).The cricket theme pub is one of the most happening places in the area and since it was the cricket world cup time, it was always jam packed. So much for the great things about the hotel. The worst part is with respect to staff. Some of them had trouble communicating and were very unfriendly. While I was served food as late as 2PM at my room couple of days, they refused to do it another day. At the same time there were two three staffs who were well behaved and ready to service us at any point of time. But at least 50% of the staff were bad. It is quite sad to see that all the good work they have managed to do with the ambience, food and other value adds have been negated by certain staff.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Leisure Inn West Gurgaon; City: Gurugram Gurgaon Gurgaon District Haryana; Review: I was looking for a medium range hotel to stay during a business trip and landed up in peppermint. Since it came recommended from a friend, I had no two minds about staying there. I should say that, the hotel and its staff met my expectations at all levels. Though you can call this as a no frills place, it is not really no frills, but limited. The rooms are very clean and nice and the friendly staff took real care of me. I was there for an entire week (from Monday to Monday) and i enjoyed the chinese restaurant. There is also a regular restaurant where you can get Indian and continental food. Food was not very expensive, but delicious. They also have pool and free wifi. The only trouble i had with the hotel was the key. Every time i went out of the room I had to change the key as there was something wrong with card reader in my room. Overall It was a very pleasant experience.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Honey Pot Homes; City: Madikeri Kodagu Coorg Karnataka; Review: It was the perfect time to visit coorg and honey pot homes just made it even better. I wuld definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice home stay. We were a group of 5 ( 3 men 2 women). One cottage was enough for us. The service here was also quite good. The location of the place is also a very important factor since it is very close to madikkeri. Though there are not much activities within the home stay, they take you for a plantation visit and for visitng a nearby spring. We didn't find these very interesting and the spring was infested with leeches. The rooms were very clean and the property was well maintained. Food was just average and in our opinion over priced. Since madikkeri is nearby, it is better to get food from hotels there. We also met the owner of the place , he was very friendly and welcome. This definitely is a place I would want to go back again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Glen View Resort; City: Masinagudi The Nilgiris District Tamil Nadu; Review: We went to Glenview with great expectations since we saw some decent reviews on trip advisor and some great photos on their websites. The experience was no where near the presentation. The place is quite far from the main road and is surrounded by not lush but dense forest. The rooms were very basic, just enough for two people. The beds and bed sheets were not clean and the chairs given in the room kept us on the edge by threatening to break at any point of time. Expect no frills at the toilets. No soap, no towel, we were lucky that we carried it since we reached the place late evening and the near by shop is at least 5 kms away (If not more). The bath rooms were also very basic and was about to break down if handled with some force. Not to mention the crawlies and insects which infested the place. Can't blame the owners for this but insects kept disturbing us through out the night. The one highlight of the place was the food. It was not very expensive but it was yummy. The preparation is mainly south Indian and there are no other choices available. But everything right from the morning coffee to dinner has a touch of great cook. Though we were turned off by the ambience, lack of cleanness, nice rooms and bath rooms, the staff were very friendly and helpful. They were quick to provide the service, though there was no telephone connection between the rooms and we had to go to the office room to make orders. There was a nice place for camp fire and barbecue which we enjoyed. To sum it up all, there was nothing to write home about the resort. We were quite disappointed since all of us have been to jungle resorts before. The entire ambience was dark and little sad. This place is ideal for a bachelor party or for an all boys trip. Do not come here to relax and have nice get away. Also not recommended if you are traveling with family.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Wayanad Nature Resorts; City: Sultan Bathery Wayanad District Kerala; Review: I can go on and on about the cottages. By the time we reached Muthanga, we were very tired and was very disappointed to see no AC. We looked at the fan wondering how much it could help in our despair. Much to our wonder, while we kept on cribbing about no AC, we realised that the entire room was in fact very cold. It was hot outside, but the room was surprisingly cool enough. Natural AC, we exclaimed and realized that the construction with breathing walls and old kerala style architecture (bit of Baker Model also) was helping the heat under control. We met Biju who was the owner and he was very friendly and suggested sights to see around Wayanad. We had lunch from there, the food was decent and worth the money we paid. The stay at the place was also very good. We enjoyed our trip there. They also arrange for camp fire next to a field. We enjoyed our stay and it was worth every penny we paid. But as such, though it is a very nice and comfortable place to stay, there is nothing so much great about the property. The property is very ordinary. So recommended if you need a nice comfortable place to stay and then spend time sight seeing in Wayanad.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Leela Raviz Kovalam; City: Kovalam Thiruvananthapuram District Kerala; Review: The breathtaking view off the hills, sea breeze and the ocean blue around you is enough to forget any discomfort. That's how I forgot the discomfort of the poorest service in 5 star ever. We were a large group of people and almost everyone had a complaint about the service. But still smitten by the charm of the place. The rooms are very well done, though the pre-liberalization (Asoka) hangover is still there. Food was also quite average.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel l Amiral; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: Amiral is a nice hotel which is just some 2 KMs from the Eiffel. Its also 5 minutes walking distance from vaugirard Metro station. The rooms are small, but well maintained. You will be greeted by friendly staff and who are ready to help you out with any sort of queries you may have. This hotel has free Wifi, though the reception will be poor as you go high up. So if you prefer to have Wifi, its better to opt for a room in the first three floors. The only problem is with the Hotel is the cramped lift, which is quite archaic and could just hold 3 people at a time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Stollberg Plaza; City: Munich Upper Bavaria Bavaria; Review: I was in Munich for a week and stayed at Stollberg Plaza. The charges for the apartment were very reasonable. The apartment I stayed at had a Hall, Kitchen and Dining area. It was very spacious and had an iron board and iron. The apartment complex also had a common laundry area. The best thing about the Apartment was its proximity to the Max Planck Street. Another attraction was the french restaurant next to it, which served best french food I have had in recent times. Englesch Garten is also 20 mins walk from the Apartment. They also arrange for breakfast at additional costs.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Bern Westside; City: Bern Bern Mittelland District Canton of Bern; Review: Holiday Inn has never let me down, be it in India or else where. But it has been sometime since I had stayed in one and I notices the earlier splurge breakfast is no more there. The breakfast was very basic. But overall the quality of the food was very good. As usual the service was also quite good. The hotel is also integrated to the West Side mall, which is a decent enough shopping destination. Over all, the experience was very satisfying. Since the west side station is right in front of the hotel, accessibility was also never an issue (Berne is 2 stops away- 7 mins).; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cuba Premium Beach Huts; City: Palolem Canacona South Goa District Goa; Review: We got a good deal. We were a bunch of 10 and we got a cheap deal in terms of pricing. The rooms were of very average, but since the deal was cheap, pardonable. You might have to insist to get it cleaned. The best things about the place was that it is right next to the beach. They have a beach shack resort. The food there is quite ok, but it is a nice place to grab a beer and a bite. We mostly restricted food from this place to Breakfast and snacks. The service at the restaurant was quite average, ranging from responsive to non-responsive at times. I would rate this place as a value for money place. Not good for family, but for back packers and big groups.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Gurgaon Golf Course Road An AccorHotels Brand; City: Gurugram Gurgaon Gurgaon District H; Review: Ibis has never dissapointed me. The same goes true for this one also. The service is nice. Though there are some staff who were not as helpful as the other! I don't think that could sometime be helped. Food is average. Location great. While I would rate the overall experience as good, there were couple of glitches which forces me to give it an average review. Internet- You need a coupon to access WiFi! This gets expired after 24 hours and you need to get a new one! Thought the hotel staff is always ready to issue you another coupon, I as a business traveler, would prefer seamless access linked to my room. They have a limited Room Service Menu. Which has sandwiches, Noodles, Biriyani, Kati rolls, burger and pasta. They don't deliver anything else to your room. Even if they have other items available in the resto, they do not deliver these. This was bit strange!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Koh Tao Coral Grand Resort; City: Koh Tao Surat Thani Province; Review: We had a nice and quite time at Coral Grand. It had the friendliest staff we met on our Thailand trip and they were very helpful. A hidden gem is their restaurant. Apart from their sumptuous breakfast, try the Massaman Curry- the best I have had and Panang curry. Yum food! This is the best Thai food I ate in Koh Tao. We found the accommodation to be eco friendly and bathrooms designed for saving water. We were fine with that! If you are looking for luxury, look some where else. The place is known for its diving school, so we tried that too! Negative- Internet sucked, but we are in a far off island so that was not unexpected!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

However, this thing looks HUGE. Unless your guests have seen one before, they will be quite surprised and confused.

Title: Pet Qwerks Animal Sounds Babble Ball Interactive Dog Toy, Makes Barnyard & Jungle Sounds When Touched; Brand: Pet Qwerks; Review: First of all, after waiting 3 days for my 2-day delivery, UPS claimed it was delivered and left at my door at a time in the evening when I was at home with my girlfriend and two dogs. After waiting another day to make sure they didn't mistakenly input their delivery into the system i called UPS. They told me the same thing the tracking summary read and did not assume any responsibility but told me to call Amazon. I did and Amazon being awesome, resent my 2 item order and I received it 2 days later as promised (exactly one week from ordering it 2-day). I was just happy to finally have the box in my hands. I opened up the box and my nylabone item was perfect as described. This Pet Qwerks Babble ball on the other hand was not. There was something loose and rattling inside upon first notice. I pulled the plastic strip from the batteries to turn it on and...nothing. I unscrewed the battery back and repositioned the batteries and...nothing. I replaced the batteries with brand new ones and...nothing. Not impressed. Not worth a chewed up dime to me.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Outward Hound Kyjen Dog Backpack; Brand: Kyjen; Review: This item is everything is said it would be. I bought this item for two reasons. One, I needed to slow my Pit Bull down from always pulling on the leash when we walked. There's something she loves about me strapping this backpack on her and going for a walk. She can hold my keys, my phone, a couple bottles of water, baggies in case they do the deed while we're out and about...it's awesome! She doesn't pull anymore on the leash, walks beside me looking all proud like she's fulfilling some important duties. I recommend this for dogs that pull or have a lot of energy or for general walks because having a bottle of water around is always a good thing in the heat or just because. I also love the way you can pull off the bag part leaving on the vest part still attached to your dog. Makes it easy to load and unload stuff then stick it right back on the dog. Definitely recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Pet_Supplies |

Title: 21 Jump Street; Brand: Jonah Hill; Review: I enjoyed watching this movie thoroughly. I hate that I paid four dollars just for it to go on sale the week after for 99c, but that is my stupidity for not waiting. The movie is not at all like the trailers indicated it would be (in my opinion) but that is a good thing. This is a must watch and there is nobody better to rent or buy it from than amazon.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best of Americas Funniest Home Videos VHS; Brand: Bob Saget; Review: By far the best movie ever. If you get easily offended then none of Sacha's works are for you. something to keep in mind while watching, Sacha Baron Cohen is Jewish. A true example of "If you can't laugh at yourself" boundaries are pushed, and sometimes destroyed altogether. The humor is placed in every part of the movie, and does not become stale. If you enjoy comedy and can get over being offended than this is the movie for you. Borat is an example of what a comedy should be.the numerous lawsuits resulting from this movie only added to the comedy. To see people do and say stupid things, then sue because someone was taping it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Act of Valor; Brand: Roselyn Sanchez; Review: The movie was entertaining, but I did not like how they used "real navy seals" to make a unrealistic war movie that reminds you more of call of duty than "Apocalypse now". The ending was a slap in the face, and the script was predictable at best. Everyone I know loved it, and you might like it as well, but I would like to point out that if you care about realism, you may not like the inconsistencies.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ali G Indahouse: The Movie; Brand: Sacha Baron Cohen; Review: This movie is not only incredibly funny, but it is also well written with likable characters. Absolutely a must see unless you are easily offended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: That's My Boy [DVD] [2012]; Brand: ; Review: Seriously, a raunchy, offensive, Great movie. Regained a little of the respect I had lost for Adam Sandler in recent years. Great cast, Great Writing, high production value. Well done.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Costabella Tropical Beach Hotel; City: Mactan Island Cebu Island Visayas; Review: Though the beach is small, it is very very nice. Water is clear and the sand is white. There are 2 swimming pools and my daughter loves it very much. The pools are not too big but with tropical feel. I stayed in the superior room by the pool side (2nd floor), both the room and the bathroom are in good condition and nice. The buffet breakfast only has limited choices and same dish everyday. However, I heard some of the guests said that their ordered food taste good especially the baked seafood rice and spagetti. The staff are very friendly and polite. I observed that the occupancy is quite low and often no one stayed there to have their meals. Traffic is not so convenience as you have to booked taxi whenever you want to go to other places. It locates at the far end of a narrow road, don't ever think that you can walk out as it is quite dark and really far before you reach the main road. Taxi driver normally not accepts the request of using meter as they know that you are a tourist. Instead of accepting their quoted price, you can counter offer them by using meter with additional 50 P. Sometimes, they will accept it. Overall speaking, pretty enjoy in this hotel. Don't expect too much from this hotel as it is a 3-4 stars hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Backpacker s Ryokan Budget Inn; City: Kyoto Kyoto Prefecture Kinki; Review: I stayed here with my husband and 2 kids aged 14 & 16 for 5 nights. The room is well equiped. Clean up room service was provided daily. Washing and drying machine located on ground floor without restriction on using time. The charge of them is very reasonable. If you have to check in very late, they could make special arrangement. For breakfast, you can buy bread from a nearby bakery. And if you want to have it in a coffee shop, you can walk to Kyoto station. Not many but you can find one definitely.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Patong Beach; City: Patong Kathu Phuket; Review: The hotel used white as its main color which gave the guests a fresh and bright feeling. Rooms are comfortable with nice decor, however without bath tub. The variety of breakfast cannot say 'wide' but good enough with egg station and soup noodles. The restaurant is quite full early at 7:00am-8:00am but much better afterwards. The roof top swimming pool is nice. Though not very big, there was very few swimmers in afternoon. Overall speaking, good value for money.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Elysee Hotel; City: Busan; Review: Just as what other reviewers mentioned about the location, convenient and close to eateries. The host was enthusiastic and informative. Tooth brush and paste were not provided. I was not sure whether these items were missed occasionally or could be provided upon request. Anyway, I bought them afterwards. The provision of computer inside the room was really impressive to me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Glory Angkor Hotel Siemreap; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: The hotel is small but facilities are adequate. We booked superier double room at around US$27 per night included breakfast. We got around 5 choices to choose from the menu. We ate similar bkf nearby, it costed around US$7 per one set. The pool is small but it is alright if you just want to cool down a bit after your day trip. They only provide shampoo but not conditioner. I found this was important because my hair became wire after I finished my quad bike ride. The location is quiet but yet 8 minutes walk to the pub street and night markets. Would definitely recommend it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Log Home Boutique Hotel; City: Chiang Mai; Review: I stayed here with my daughter for one night. The wooden design and the plants gave us strong feeling of 'thai'. The set menu for breakfast has around 10 choices including all day breakfast, pancake, etc. I highly recommended the restaurant. The food is tasty and offered at a very reasonable price. We had dinner twice there as we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The ambiance is good especially the open area of the restaurant. The staff are polite and friendly. Many eateries around and a shop renting bicycle was just opposite. Definitely recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yufuin Yawaraginosato Yadoya; City: Yufu Oita Prefecture Kyushu; Review: I and my husband booked the standard room without tatami area. The room type should be the smallest one, it was basic, simple and not spacious. I thought other room type might be better. Set breakfast and dinner were great. We arrived at around 3:00pm, there were already 6 to 8 bookings for the private onsens. Yufuin got lots of small shops and they mostly closed at 4:30pm. So, arrive Yufuin early to wander around and to book an onsen with a better view. I would suggest the session started at 6:00pm as you could see better view when the sky is still bright and at the same time able to see stars when the sky turns dark. There are 3 private onsens and 1 public onsen ( separated for ladies and men). It is not difficult to tell from the number of booking on which private onsen has better view as bookings are shown on a bulletin board at the reception. You can skip the public onsen if you have no time as the view of private onsens are better.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Toyoko Inn Kurashiki eki Minami guchi; City: Kurashiki Okayama Prefecture Chugoku; Review: The room is small as expected.However the car park is great. It could accommodate around 32 cars with height limit 1.55m. The charge is very reasonable at 500 yen per night. The entrance is a bit difficult to find. The breakfast offers rice and bread.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Azure Midi Lined Journal (Equinoxe); Author: Hartley and Marks Pub.; Review: So beautiful! If this one is the medium I can't imagine how small the small one is because this one is already pretty small by my standards. Very nice quality (pictures included) the latch is a little bit loose but it still keeps it closed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Great Omar Journal (Diary, Notebook); Author: Peter Pauper Press Inc.; Review: I didn't think this one would be so beautiful! Definitely worth the buy, the cover is gorgeous and its got a light gold ribbon inside. People call these "oversized" but to me they're medium. They're smaller than a composition notebook. Quality is great especially for the price. Also some of these have varying sizes in the description but they're all the same size except for the celestial one; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blue Medallions Journal (Diary, Notebook); Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Pauper Press Page; Review: I love this one and the persian one. If you love anything with glitter/sparkle/iridescence you should get this. The purple underlying color has a pearly sheen to it (you can see it on the spine) and then its got the iridescent piping design which makes a great combo. It has a purple ribbon, I do wish they all had the metallic edges but it's ok. All these journals I would describe as medium sized, they're smaller than composition notebooks, and they're all the same size except for the celestial one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Celestial Journal (Diary, Notebook); Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Pauper Press Page; Review: The cover is Beautiful, its got gold edges and a blue ribbon. It's slightly smaller than the others in this collection.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Enlightenment Journal (Notebook, Diary) (Guided Journals Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Pauper Press Page; Review: This one isn't quite as stunning as the others. The cover doesn't have as much gold as I would have liked but it is still pretty, it also doesn't have a ribbon which is odd since all the others do, and it doesn't have metallic on the edges of the pages. Overall the quality is still very good and it is pretty especially if you like this color combo but it should cost a bit less imo. I would describe it as medium sized, it's smaller than a composition notebook, and these are all the same size except for the celestial one.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Persian Splendor Journal (Notebook, Diary) (Guided Journals Series); Author: Peter Pauper press; Review: I love this one and the blue medallions one. Absolutely beautiful! It's so shiny that I had trouble taking a photo of it! Its got a blue ribbon inside and silver metallic on the edges of the pages. I would describe it as medium sized, it's smaller than a composition notebook. All of these are the same size except for the celestial one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lost Ocean: An Inky Adventure and Coloring Book for Adults; Author: Visit Amazon's Johanna Basford Page; Review: I love these coloring books, I also have both the postcard booklets from the same artist/publisher and the reason I bring that up is because of the concern about how small the details are in this particular book. If you can color in the postcards you will have no problem with the book because the details are actually larger in this book than in the postcards which are miniaturized versions of the pictures in the first two books. I will admit there are a lot of pictures in this book with very small details but there are more pictures that are like the other books and the art work is just too beautiful to pass up. I use prismacolor soft core colored pencils to color all these in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Secret Garden: An Inky Treasure Hunt And Coloring Book (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition); Author: Johanna Basford; Review: Beautiful.

Title: Peterson Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes, Second Edition (Peterson Field Guides); Author: Lawrence M. Page; Review: If you need a book for fishing this is not it. The information is just too general per species to aid in fishing. For example if you want to catch some bass and you live in upstate New York you probably want to know what kind of bass (if any) there are around, and most importantly what those bass eat so you know what kind of lure to use, right? This book has small color pictures in the front of the book and when you search it in the book you'll find a description (which if the pictures were larger wouldn't be necessary) and it tells you where in the US this species can be found but just too general. It also tells you if they prefer muddy water or rivers or gravel etc... which isn't bad. For reference for the photos I'm a petite woman so don't let the size of my fingers fool you, I got this for my dad and he will probably have to wear his glasses to read it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Caging at Deadwater Manor; Author: Visit Amazon's Sandie Will Page; Review: I'm very confused by this story... someones comment I read how the ending shocked them so I was expecting to be shocked by a plot twist but honestly I wouldn't even call it a plot twist definitely wasn't shocking. I don't agree about the "gory" stuff in the book it's pretty tame to me, it's certainly unpleasant and there is some sexual content but nothing actually ever happens. Moving on to the main character and her perspective, I have to assume she really is mentally ill since there are things that happen that are king of confusing but its never made clear even at the very end so I have no idea what is really going on. Is EVERYTHING in her head, is some of it in her head is all of it real .... I don't know !; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Black Water; Brand: Maeve Dermody; Review: Tense, claustrophobic, drama in an open, sunny location. There in is the skill of the movie maker. There are times when you want to turn down the sound to relieve the tension. Who will die? Who will live? Will there be a hero or heroine? Entertaining movie for those who like the heart to beat a little faster, and to unwittingly jump in your seat.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Man of Steel; Brand: Henry Cavill; Review: A story like this requires a good villain so that the hero can be heroic. It may be the peril of the situation that is the villain, or it may be a machine, or man. The bad guy must be bad. It's wonderful if the villain is cunning, heartless, and egocentric. For me, Superman needed to be more super around us common folks and not just with the bad guy. That's because the bad guy just didn't have enough bite to his evil doings. "Man of Steel" looks good, and the story gives some entertaining approaches to the familiar material. Some of my female friends just wanted to look at Cavill. Good to rent.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: UFOs Uncensored: The Secret UFO Files / Abduction Files; Brand: ; Review: I liked it. Why? The story has a twist and the movie moves along at a nice clip. The bad guys make a hero heroic. The villains in this movie are mean enough to give the protagonist a satisfying victory. Fun flick.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Walhalla Rising Vers. allemand; Brand: ; Review: Like visuals? Like long quiet segments with no dialogue or movement, where you can imagine what the characters are thinking? This film is just right for you. There is a "Dialogue Editor" listed in the credits. It probably took the person the afternoon to finish the job. Here one may think that's because there is a lot of action, nope. Most of the action is during the fight sequences near the beginning of the film. The movie looks great and seem so hold great promise. It just takes too long to move forward.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: InterContinental The Clement Monterey; City: Monterey Monterey County California; Review: Everything was fantastic! Service, comfort and location. Wished we had stayed longer. Staff were very pleasant and efficient, bed and pillows were so comfortable, a great stay. Happily recommend this hotel for all aspects for/of a great stay...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ananta Legian Hotel; City: Legian Kuta District Bali; Review: We stayed in this hotel with a group of other friends, most of us had pool-side rooms. The last few times we've been in Bali, we've stayed in Seminyak (just off Jalan Laksmana), so this was a nice change in regard to location. Found a few more spots to eat in and also good for walking to restaurants like Seaside, Lanai, Zanzibar etc. Easy walk also up to Jalan Legian. Staff were very friendly, breakfast was good. Rooms are on the smaller side, but still fine. Bathroom very adequate (good hot water too!). Would really like to see the hotel do something better with the bar on the roof-top, it's basically a waste up there, no one was ever there. Jazz it up a bit, and make it more well known that it's there and give the guests a view to look at, not just the triangle roof!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Revere Inn Suites; City: Paradise Lancaster County Pennsylvania; Review: Rooms are fine; breakfast was a 'fight' for a table. Also a bit over styrofoam everything at BWs, cups, plates, plastic cutlery/silverware. I know it's all about water saving and environmental issues, but what about landfill with all the rubbish that is being discarded? Dinner at the Inn, food was ok, service a bit slow.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: 216 Bed and Breakfast; City: Alexandria Virginia; Review: We were recommended this place by friends and we were NOT disappointed. Great location, with parking provided, fantastic hosts (who live next door and are very unobtrusive), and a superb house to call home whilst you are in DC. Walking distance to SO many restaurants, walking distance to the Metro and also a fantastic supermarket. There are not enough superlatives to say what a great place this is.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maya Sanur Resort and Spa; City: Sanur Denpasar Bali; Review: We couldn't fault the staff at the Maya, everyone made a real effort to know your name(s) and they did it very well! We had a pool/lagoon access room and it was very nice - only thing that the architect could have thought of, and this is probably only for Westerners, that the rooms could have been on the other side of the pool, so it would get more sun (ie warmer water) and if you wanted to be in the sun, you could be. The day beds on the other side of the lagoon pool I can't see them getting used very much, as the day bed on your balcony is great (plus how do you get to the day beds? besides climbing out of the pool, with no steps etc?). Would recommend this place definitely. Staff 'make' this place. Tree Bar is great from 5-7pm with 50% off drinks, we ate in the restaurant one night for dinner and couldn't fault it - both the food and the staff.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lion Sands Ivory Lodge; City: Sabi Sand Game Reserve Kruger National Park; Review: What can I say, this place is JUST amazing - just wish we had more time there. Everything was laid on, fantastic food, accommodation and wildlife...our guide, Dumay, was outstanding (as was his tracker, Terrence). This place is so 5 or 6 star, a place to visit on your bucket list! We saw 4 of the Big 5 (we saw the wide mouth or white rhino in Zambia) with Dumay and loads more wildlife as well, ie hunting (or African Wild) dogs, wildebeest, zebra, hyena, monkeys, baboons, impala - you name it, we just about saw it. We were treated so well and just wish we could return one day. A fantastic 'More' hotel/establishment and we had the pleasure of meeting Rob and Britt More, what great people they are and what they are doing. Cannot really put into words how great this place is...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wilderness Safaris Toka Leya Camp; City: Livingstone Southern Province; Review: What a truly memorable oasis! Upon arrival, we were stopped 'short' so we could catch their 'tinny' up to the camp and what did we see within 50m, a pod of hippopotamus right out of the Zambezi (as in showing a lot!) - then it just got better and better...wonderful staff, wonderful accommodation and the wildlife - wow!! Don't think I can give this review enough superlatives, this place is just amazing...do yourself a favour and stay there, you will NOT be disappointed.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cape Cadogan; City: Cape Town Central Western Cape; Review: The hotel was lovely. Great location and very welcoming staff. Only gripe I'd have is the poor wi-fi - could not connect (and we were with a few friends who all had the same problem) for long (if at all), could get 'it' when we were in the lounge room (if we were connected to 'their' wi-fi but not ours). They tried their best to help us with this problem, but to no avail. Other than the wi-fi, everything else great.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Villa Coco; City: Seminyak Kuta District Bali; Review: The villas lived up to the Trip Advisor (and other) reviews - mainly led by the staff - all very competent and pleasant. We had a 2 bedroom open pool villa, which was excellent and glad we did have a pool, as the main pool was closed for maintenance (only for a few days and guests could use the large villa's pool as an alternative). Bali was very hot for this time of year, so the pool was a great asset. Only negative I would say, is that it depends on who you get as neighbours! We had a large group next to us (Australians) who liked to talk loud and party hard but that was only for a few nights. You can't go wrong staying at VC, location is good, villas are well kitted out, good wi-fi and a great place for couples or families.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vancouver Studios; City: London England; Review: We were in a triple room for the first night (only two of us) and all that meant was that it was bigger (third bed was a rollaway in cupboard). We were going to go to a balcony room for 6 nights after that, but we asked if we could stay in this room as we knew it was significantly bigger than the balcony room (family was staying in one of the balcony rooms) - mind you, the bathroom[s] are v small! Stephen happily obliged and we stayed there for the week, which was great. One problem is the smokers on the balcony as well, which the smoke will come into your balcony room if you have your door/window open - not ideal for anti/non smokers! Location is ideal, close to two tube stations, shops, restaurants etc. you do get fit climbing the stairs! We had 3 lots of family staying there and one was in the 3 bedroom apartment with a garden as well, which suited us all v well for the odd breakfast and drinks. I would recommend this place for a good stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Egypt Mill Hotel Restaurant; City: Nailsworth Stroud Stroud District Cotswolds England; Review: We had a two bedroom self-contained apartment in another part from the main reception. Wow, first floor, and it was just amazing. So well fitted out, everything that you could need for cooking, washing (clothes!), amazingly comfortable king beds, great ensuite, large living and dining area. So impressed. Ate at the restaurant one night, which was OK (think I picked the wrong dish!), had dessert there another and then drinks another afternoon. Would highly recommend this accommodation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Beach House; City: Looe Cornwall England; Review: A good B&B - quality linen, comfortable bed, shower products - water pressure in shower questionable? Parking on site, 20 minute walk into town. Nice views from bedrooms. Breakfasts all good, home made granola, cooked brekkie anyway. Easy for day trips to Fowey, Polperro etc and a bit further for Port Isaac, Tintagel etc but still easily reachable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Travelodge Ramsgate Seafront; City: Ramsgate Isle of Thanet Kent England; Review: The room was on the top floor, fantastic views across Ramsgate Harbour, woke up to a view of France across the channel. The room was clean and very comfortable. All you want for a stop over. Close to all pubs and restaurants. We were given the disabled room. We are not disabled this was not a problem, it had a wet room which was good but the water pressure was a bit low, this may have been a safety feature although the pressure went down while using the shower. Apart from this minor niggle the room was great; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Fernery; City: Lynton Exmoor National Park England; Review: Stopping in the Fernery B&B for 3 nights was lovely. Clean, friendly, breakfasts were fantastic, top quality food, wonderful choice. The owner Jo was helpful and informative, very friendly.The area is beautiful, hills and sea, my idea of heaven. Friendly people in the bars and restaurants. the Crown pub does good food and large portions, after a good long walk you need it! Plenty of places to eat. The Fernery has a Victorian history as does most of the town. Spotless accommodation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Sheffield Richmond; City: Sheffield South Yorkshire England; Review: We stayed at this Travelodge as we were up for a funeral. It was comfy and convenient for our needs. We paid the extra £10 for 2 more hours for a late check-out at 2pm. We didn't want to be wandering around suited and booted on a hot day for several hours before the funeral. The room was quite dark, you had to have the lights on all the time., but nothing could be done about that. Didn't get woken in the night by banging doors, bonus!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge York Tadcaster Hotel; City: Bilbrough Selby District North Yorkshire England; Review: Stopped for one night at this Travelodge, the room was as usual clean and comfy. It was exceptionally quiet at night so got a good nights sleep, the room overlooked fields. The staff on the reception were nice and helpful. One printed off a map for me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Liverpool Aigburth; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: This Travelodge was what you'd expect . Clean and comfortable. We were here because of family business. Places to eat close by and a walk by the Mersey. Some of the furniture hasn't been updated yet ( table area) not of any importance to me but not as modern as some Travelodges.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Caernarfon Hotel; City: Caernarfon Gwynedd North Wales Wales; Review: Travelodge at Caernavon was a good choice. Plenty of places to eat. Right by the marina and close to the castle. Only drawback is the parking. You have to park in the public car park which is a short walk away. You can't even take a car next to the Travelodge as it's for residents of the apartments. They have a gate code. Not a problem for me but you have to drag your case (s) to and fro, could be awkward if you have mobility problems.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Canon 0621B016 CLI-8 3 Pack C/M/Y Value Pack; Brand: Canon; Review: Have had Canon Pixma color printers for many years and if you know what you're doing and have effective software you can produce 'photo' like images with eaze using Canon inks. Tried the knock-off inks in the past with an older out-dated machine just to see if they would work ( and save some money ) but the quality was disappointing. Not to mention the after market inks caused some clogging of the printer heads. Okay in a mchine that you're getting rid of. Not good in your every day printer that you depend on to be ready and able when you need it. Knock-off inks, in my opinion, just don't have that clean looking 'quality first' appearence that the Canon inks give you. Now I'm certain someone out there will reply that they have no problem with after market inks- but I could notice the difference so the cost savings just doesn't seem to be worth it. Bottom line: If what you're printing matters to you go with the Canon inks. At the price Amazon is offering these cartridges it's easy to stay with the best.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Letter Laminating Pouches 3 Mil 9 x 11-1/2 Hot Qty 100; Brand: Oregon Lamination Premium; Review: Having used up my first box of 100 I ordered these again in 3 Mil and have continued to find uses for these sheets that I never imagined. Have also used 5 mil for various items but for most purposes 3 mil is all you need. Do my laminating with a Fellows 'Saturn 125' which can be set for 3 or 5 mil laminating sheets and does its job without complaint. As fast as I can feed them the Fellows spits out bubble free laminates everytime using these sheets. Initially took a chance with these not knowing if a lower price meant lower quality but was pleasently surprised. Using these laminating sheets is a worthwhile proposition for anyone seeking to save money and yet insists they recieve a quality product for their hard-earned dollar. Not easy accomplishment in this day and age. Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: PM Company Perfection POS/Calculator Rolls, 2.25 Inches x 150 Feet, White, 12/Pack (08835); Brand: PM Company; Review: Use this paper in my Sharp EL-219BL and have no problems. Can't beat the price either. Numbers print sharp and crisp.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: EL-2196BL Desktop Calculator, 12-Digit Fluorescent, 2-Color Printing, Black/Red; Brand: Sharp; Review: Wife needed a basic two-color printer for her work/school calculations. This machine made her very happy with its large keys and no-nonsense design. I won't list the features here but this machine is fitted with many business/accounting applications and tools. The desk-top footptint is a little large but it seems most calculators are about this size after checking. Once set-up on the desk it is easy to access and very intuitive in its operation. The paper rolls are cheap and the ribbon ( yes it takes a two-color easy to install ribbon ) are inexpensive. An all-around a good investment.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Panasonic KX-TS500B Integrated Corded Phone System, Black; Brand: Panasonic; Review: Nice, cheap land-line phone that has a clear and constant tone quality. I miss the typical LED display typical on the higher priced phones but with the setup I have my portable phone (which has the LED display) sits next to this phone and tells me who's calling anyway. You just can't beat a solid land-line for clarity of sound and reliability and this phone provides. Had to add a longer cord because the one that came with the phone tugged at it when answered though.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kodak Photo Paper for inkjet printers, Gloss Finish, 7 mil thickness, 50 Sheets, 8.5 x 11 (1213712); Brand: Kodak; Review: Really nice paper. Works well in my Canon bubble-jet.

Title: Trixie Pet Products Parla Scratching Post; Brand: Trixie; Review: My cats love these! The best part about them is they will not tip over. My cats like to get on their back legs and stretch and scratch near the top. Previous ones would tip over but the base on these is the perfect size to prevent this from happening. They even look nice.. I mean for a cat scratching post they are pretty classy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Dry Cat Food Green Pea & Duck; Brand: Natural Balance; Review: I have one cat who suffers from having the most sensitive stomach in the world. If he eats anything other than this food he throws up everywhere in the house. My other cats enjoy the food as well. Since switching over to this food from other brands (Blue, Purina, Urinary Tract 80 dollar a bag food) my cats have been much happier and have less stinky farts and presents in the litter box. Highly recommend for all cats! They also offer different flavors!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Natural Balance Perfect Bites Cat Treats; Brand: Natural Balance; Review: All my cats (3) eat Natures Balance food and figured the treats would be a hit too..

Title: Natural Balance L.I.T. Limited Ingredient Cat Treats; Brand: Natural Balance; Review: Cats only ate this once and then turned their noses up at it. Not sure if they thought it was nasty or if it dried up that fast? Feels a bit harder already and I resealed the bag.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: American Distribution & Mfg 11614 Cat Litter, 24/7 Performance, Scooping, 14-Lbs. Container Cat Litter/Pan; Brand: Tidy Cats Litter; Review: Best smelling litter out there for multiple cats.

Title: PetSafe Drinkwell Mini Dog and Cat Water Fountain, 40 oz.; Brand: PetSafe; Review: Works well but leaks water pretty easily. Took filter out as it kept putting black stuff in the water.

Title: Tekonsha 90160 Primus IQ Electronic Brake Control; Brand: Tekonsha; Review: I put this on my 2008 Infinity QX56, I also bought the Brake Control Wiring Adapter for Nissan, very smart move. I was first going to get the mechanics to install it, then decided I would try myself. As it turned out my 92-year old Mother could have done this job. The hardest part would have been finding the adapter buried in the wiring under the dash, I looked on Youtube for my car model, it was a snap. The directions were confusing, The installation can be installed at any angle desired, just have to be level, from side to side.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Protecting Jessyka (SEAL of Protection) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Susan Stoker Page; Review: Loved it! I have enjoyed just about all of her books! I wish they were longer because I didn't want it to stop. I read them way to fast and was very sad when it was over. But, then I scrolled back to page one and started it over. My only grip is the swearing. I understand some of the swearing coming from the men, I have been around military etc. and know it tends to be natural, but the woman swearing really bothered me. I think it took away from the characters intelligence and took away from the story line. Especially in Caroline's Wedding book, it really turned me off from the story line.

Title: Private Preserve True 1026; Brand: Private Preserve; Review: About 15 years ago when I became interested in wine I went early one Saturday morning to a liquor store that had one of the biggest selections of wine I have ever seen. I was basically the only person in the store, wandering around picking up various bottles of different types of wines when a dapper gentleman came over to me and asked if he could help. I told him I was just getting started with wines and any "tidbits" he could share with me would be welcomed. He showed me several things to look for on the wine label, at what temperature the wine should be stored and drunk, and what type of wineglass should be used when drinking the various wines. I had seen people put the cork back in a bottle that they hadn't finished drinking. That didn't seem to work well, so I bought a vacuum pump system. I mentioned to the gentleman that I was now using a vacuum pump system to reseal any bottle of wine I didn't completely drink. He said, "I should not be using a vacuum pump because a vacuum pump will pull the bouquet out of the wine." I had noticed that the wine didn't taste as good the second day using a vacuum pump and thought that's just the way it was. He went over and got a tall can, handed it to me and said, "Now this is what you should be using." It was Private Preserve. I got the Private Preserve and the bottles of the wine he recommended. On the way out I asked the dapper gentleman who was kind enough to spend his time with me for his business card. It was Chip Cassidy, the world renowned wine authority, teacher and author. I've been using Private Preserve ever since and recommend Private Preserve very highly. I can honestly say that the wine tastes just as good the second, third or even the fourth day, especially the 1.5L size bottle. I've never had a bottle of wine go bad ever since I've used Private Preserve and a good bottle stopper. Thank you Chip!!! How lucky was I that Saturday morning??; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Premier Inn Stockport South Hotel; City: Stockport Greater Manchester England; Review: Got a bargain price for 1 night's stay here . Very clean and comfortable . Had a room at the back and it was very quiet . Breakfast ok but not the usual hot buffet as at other Premier Inn's , still ok though . Was nice to stay at a British hotel where the staff spoke English . Staff very polite & helpful .; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dom Pedro Madeira; City: Machico Madeira Madeira Islands; Review: A group of 8 of us stayed here for a week for a golf break . We were a bit anxious it wouldn't be very good after reading some of the reviews but we were pleasantly surprised . The hotel is very clean , staff are good and the food choice was good too . Our friend had a birthday during our stay and the staff gave us plenty of bottles of bubbly , including one in her room , to celebrate . The fact there is no air con was a bit of an issue as a lot of the communal areas do not have windows that open . We slept with out window open every night and could hear the sea & didn't get eaten alive by insects . There is a problem near the hotel with dog's barking during the night though . As many reviewers have mentioned the ticket system when getting a drink can be a pain but you get served eventually .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Golden Lion at Settle; City: Settle Yorkshire Dales National Park North Yorkshire England; Review: We have just returned after a 2 night stay at the Lion . It's a lovely place to stay . The room we had was very comfortable . Breakfast is very good . We found the staff very efficient . The only issue we had was regarding parking . We knew this was an issue after reading other reviews . I agree with other reviewers that the Hotel should be allowed to give you a sign to put in your vehicle to give you free parking . The parking charges are not expensive but still a pain to have to keep refreshing your ticket .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Copenhagen Admiral Hotel; City: Copenhagen Zealand; Review: Stayed here for my birthday in December . The Hotel is in a fantastic location , very easy access to all the tourist sights . We only had breakfast 1 day but it is really fantastic with lots of choice . We upgraded to a deluxe room but I wonder whether it was worth it as although room was lovely I would hardly call it deluxe . We did have a room overlooking the water but the windows are small so not a massive view to enjoy . Also be warned that the rooms facing the water will hear the noise from the major construction going on . The trucks start arriving very early ( 6ish ) and if you have your window open you will hear them . We really liked the hotel and the staff are fantastic .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sandos Benidorm Suites; City: Benidorm Costa Blanca Province of Alicante Valencian Country; Review: Recently had a short break at the marconfort for a landmark birthday & myself and 4 friends had a great time .

Title: Hotel Zinbad; City: Kalkan Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: The Zinbad is a lovely little hotel with everything you need in a great location . Only negative is the awful nightclub next door . We had a room on the same side as the night club and it is a problem . Such a strange place to allow a nightclub in amongst all the lovely restaurants , apartments and hotels , shame on you Kalkan council . We would still stay here again simply because of the location , breakfast and staff .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Manifold Inn; City: Hartington Peak District National Park England; Review: Stayed here for a 2 night break and wasn't disappointed . Lovely walks nearby .

Title: Three Tuns Chepstow; City: Chepstow Monmouthshire South Wales Wales; Review: Stayed here for a couple of nights in may . Good choice of beer . Room was OK , pub is very very old and the room reflected that fact . Facilities adequate. Only issue we had was the fact that our room wasn't serviced . A misunderstanding apparently between the housekeeping and management. The management apologised but at £75 per night ( breakfast extra ) would have expected a reduction in our bill . Not great customer service . The male manager was very defensive & didn't handle the matter very well .; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Crown Lodge Hotel; City: Outwell Norfolk East Anglia England; Review: We had a family get together for a birthday & couldn't fault anything about our experience. Lunch was fab & the service was good too . Have also visited the crown for afternoon tea which is also brill.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lighthouse Golf Spa Resort; City: Balchik Dobrich Province; Review: Just returned from a week long stay here for a golf break . There were 10 of us and we thoroughly enjoyed it .Rooms were roomy with fab bathrooms . Staff were fantastic with no problems in communication . Food was lovely with plenty of choice . We did take the shuttle to the beach but as it's the end of the season it was a bit dismal and the only sunbeds available were £10 ! Only concern we had at the hotel was the floor around the spa area , it is treacherous so be warned . Spa was a welcome treat after playing golf . Several of us had treatments and everyone said they enjoyed theirs .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Celik Apart Hotel; City: Icmeler Marmaris District Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: Just had a week at celik and it was proper fab . Can't speak highly enough of ilhan, Jane and superstar sevi . They go out of their way to make sure you have a good hollibob . Would recommend to anyone . You must check out Adolf the cat !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sea Marge Hotel; City: Overstrand Norfolk East Anglia England; Review: We received a voucher for a 2 night stay and we are so glad we picked the Sea Marge . Great location . Very quiet . Amazing bed . Fantastic bathroom . Only had breakfast once so can't comment on lunch , dinner or afternoon tea . Breakfast was ok but the room was so quiet , needed a little background music . It's a nice walk along the beach to Cromer . Or along the cliffs through the golf course .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Red Lion; City: Cromer Norfolk East Anglia England; Review: Popped in here for a pint after walking along the beach from Overstrand . Was not disappointed , great choice and lovely atmosphere . Ended up staying and having fish and chips . We managed to bag a table near the window so had a lovely view of the sea .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Plaza Resort Club Hotel; City: Reno Nevada; Review: Our first time in reno so picked this hotel for location . Reno is very spread out compared to vegas so we decided to pick a hotel we could walk to a few casinos from . It is very unusual inside in that the decor is of an age . Our room was perfect , huge bathroom. Very clean , comfortable and quiet . Only negative for us was the valet parking, hate it but understand why this hotel does it .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bryghia Hotel; City: Bruges West Flanders Province; Review: Recently stayed here with a couple of mates on an xmas markets jolly . The hotel is in a great location with a 10 minute walk to the main square . It is also in a very quiet location on a canal . Rooms are adequate and have everything you need . Only minor moan would be that breakfast is a bit of a scrum as it's a very small room . Breakfast is plentiful and everything is topped up regularly . Would recommend friends or family to stay here and would definately stay here again . Beer at the hotel is a good price .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Avenida Palace; City: Lisbon Lisbon District Central Portugal; Review: This hotel is an absolute gem . The staff are all very attentive , professional , smart and efficient . Rooms are of a high quality. Breakfast is fantastic. Location is pretty good too . The entrance lobby is stunning .; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Luxury Bahia Principe Sian Ka an; City: Akumal Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Stayed here for a week of winter sun with my husband . Loved that it was adults only . Loved the wildlife we saw . Hotel room was good , only niggles were the erratic hot water supply and the hit and miss mini bar / toiletries topping up or replacing . Didn't spoil our stay though . The shuttle to the beach isn't a problem , in fact it felt very special to be took over . I personally cannot stand music by a pool , either hotel arranged or rude guests who want to inflict their music on you ....buy some headphones ! The beach for the sian kaan guests is the best by far and the girls bringing drinks were fab ( jennifer and martha ) . Beach can get busy especially with people not staying at the sian kaan . You can always find a spot somewhere on another beach as there are lots of sun beds . Loved the buffet at the sian kaan , loads of choice . Food sometimes could be hotter but putting hot food on cold plates doesn't help . Service was good . Only really busy day we encountered was the saturday evening so we just got the shuttle over to another resort for a margarita or 2 then when we returned it was a lot quieter . Didn't eat in any of the a la cartes as buffet suits us . Got a collectivo into Playa . 80 pesos for the 2 of us 1 way . You pick it up over on the main road near the Hacienda , dead easy . Staff at the sian kaan were very good . The biggest compliment I could give is that I would recommend it to friends and family .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sol Falco by Melia All Inclusive; City: Cala n Bosch Menorca Balearic Islands; Review: We have recently returned from a week at the sol falco . The hotel is very clean , food is good with lots of choice . The food at times could have been hotter and as previous reviewers have said there are microwaves available. I have never eaten so much fish on holiday . The entertainment by the pool could be VERY loud at times but other areas are available . The housekeeping on our room could be hit and miss as everyday something hadn’t been done . Bar staff on the whole very efficient but there are some exceptions and be warned that the Spanish and Italians do not wait their turn to be served ! You will be served eventually but very frustrating when you have been stood a while and an Italian breezes up in his budgie smugglers 🙁and gets served . The beach near the back entrance of the hotel is lovely with sun beds for hire . There is a restaurant just on the corner that does amazing tapas , best garlic spicy prawns I have ever had . Rose €2.50 a glass ! The other beach in town is more sandy . The marina is so pretty with lots of lovely bars and restaurants for people watching . We got the bus to Ciutadella from outside the hotel . Such a pretty place and lovely ice cream down by the port . Buses can be very busy at times with standing room only if they stop at all . If you want to go to Mahon you have to get the bus to Ciutadella . Walk to the opposite end of the park where the bus drops you , turn left and keep walking until the road bends slightly and you see a bar . The bus station is down some steps behind the bar . Express bus takes 50 mins, well worth it as Mahon is lovely. Check out the fish market as half of it is now a range of tapas bars . Back to the sol falco , would recommend it to friends and family as it’s clean , location is fab , food is good with lots of choice, majority of staff lovely and rooms are ok .; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Riu Tequila; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Just returned from a lovely break at the tequila. It was our first time to this area and this hotel and I can see why people return . The staff were very efficient at check in despite a lot of us arriving at the same time . The reception area is stunning . Food at the hotel is brilliant, if you can’t find something to tempt you then you are a fussy eater . Dining room can get busy but the staff are very good at replenishing food and clearing plates . We did go to the beach every day and it is a lovely short walk . Used the yucatan hotel for snacks and drinks when at the beach . The sea was lovely with big waves and performing pelicans 😀. Only sampled the pool area at tequila the day of our departure and it seemed ok with a bbq poolside at lunchtime . All the bar areas are lovely at tequila. The sports bar is lovely too as very quiet with its own bar and lovely air con 👍. Loved the grounds of the tequila with all the lovely animals and birds . Hotel and grounds very clean . Our room could probably do with a bit of cosmetic work but we loved the fact that the whole place felt very Mexican. Please don’t alter it too much when you do the refurb . The sister hotel on the beach ( yucatan ) had no feel of Mexico at all, you could have been anywhere ! All in all would definitely recommend to friends and family.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Macdonald Dona Lola Resort; City: Sitio de Calahonda Mijas Costa del Sol Province of Malaga A; Review: Recently stayed here for a golf break with a group of friends and would highly recommend it . The rooms are maybe a bit tired but they have everything you need and it’s a great location. Lots of lovely restaurants in walking distance and all the staff we encountered were very friendly and efficient.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Catalonia Oro Negro; City: Playa de las Americas Arona Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: Me and my boyfriend have just got back from a week in this hotel and couldn't really fault it. Food was excellent and there was always a good choice - deserts however were not great! Rooms were always clean and spacious with great views of the sea. The pool was great and we would like to make a special mention to the lifeguard who always managed to sort us out with sunbeds if we couldn't find any. The staff were always willing to help and even went to the extra effort of giving my partner a birthday card and bottle of champagne on his birthday :) -great touch! There were a few downfalls to the hotel. Wifi hardly ever worked in the hotel, the noise from the strip was a little noisy but nothing unbearable and finally the entertainment at night was really poor! Overall we both agreed that the hotel was fantastic and great value for money. Would definitely return :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Alvastrada Guest House; City: Llandudno Conwy County North Wales Wales; Review: Couldn't fault the place! Steve was lovely, welcoming and there to help us with places to visit. Can't say anything about the breakfast as we had a lie in instead but looked enjoyable. Had a great time and will be returning! Thank you. Beth & Ryan; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dene Hotel; City: Chester Cheshire England; Review: Me and my partner stayed here for an overnight stay. Don't really have a bad word to say about this hotel. The receptionist was kind and had no problems organising taxis and places to eat for us. We paid extra for a better room which was spacious,clean and quiet. Can't comment about the food as we did not eat there but the bar and restaurant both looked welcoming. The only thing I have to complain about is that the parking gets very crowded and cramped. Hotel does perhaps need slightly updating but we enjoyed our stay and believe this hotel deserves a little more credit!! Thank you :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Clayton Lodge Hotel; City: Newcastle under Lyme Staffordshire England; Review: I've been to some shabby places but this was by far the worst. Took over half an hour to get a welcome drink to begin with. Food that was supposed to start at 7:30 ended up being 8:30. We didn't receive our mains until quarter to 10 for which the accompanying vegetables turned up 20 minutes later by then we had already eaten our food to stop it going cold! Food was nice the service just needs improving. Unbelievably under staffed! All toilets were disgusting! Wee, sick, toilet roll and god knows what else all over the floors. Then to top the night off there was a huge fight within another party which went from one side of the room to the other. The bouncers couldn't cope and did not keep the place safe they instead resulted in punching customers! Never seen anything like it in my life and for someone who's pregnant I felt very worried and unsafe! Will never return! EVER!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Farthingstone Hotel Golf Course; City: Farthingstone Towcester Northamptonshire England; Review: Me and my partner along with my 6 month old stayed here for a few days. It was one of the most unorganised and unclean places I have ever stayed. Firstly we had asked for a travel cot in our room for my baby and when we got into our room we had a single bed rather than a travel cot! How my 6 month old was supposed to sleep in that I will never know. We were informed - after having to ask - that our breakfast was served in the bar rather than the restaurant (which was never open in the 3 days we were there) as the restaurant was too cold between 7-10. No mention of price £8.99!!! Although the full English was great the only other option was cereal which was stale and orange juice - definitely not worth the money. The staff didn’t seem to know what they were doing and only on the last day actually asked what room we were in? They were however very accommodating when it came to little ones feeds and hot water which is to be expected anyway. Then the thing that topped it all of was that most of the guests actually lived at the hotel and it turns out they are on the council list waiting for houses! One of whom was smoking cannabis in his room next to ours which was coming through our air vent each night. Absolutely disgusted and we will never return again!!!!; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

There were two chairs out back of our bed room door that were great for just sitting, listening, and chilling out. I believe I asked for the medium priced cabin. It was well worth it. Also I could not believe how clean the room was. The Management company does a great job. Friendly staff, easy check in. And since I also stayed in the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel and took the train, our luggage was waiting for us in our cabin. Leaving to return to GC Railway Hotel, again luggage waiting in our room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Kefalos Beach Tourist Village; City: Paphos Paphos District; Review: Just returned from a fantastic 2 weeks at the kefalos Beach. The apartment was very spacious and very clean - the maids came in every day. We loved the location with our apartment looking out over the sea - would really recommend a sea view if only for the amazing sunsets ! The staff at the Kefalos were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. We intend to return next year as it would be hard to find somewhere to beat the Kefalos - thanks to everyone who works there !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Amaryllis Hotel; City: Kalamaki Zakynthos Ionian Islands; Review: Really great holiday!. Apartments really clean and spacious. Staff are so kind and attentive. We certainly will be returning again; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyde Park Lane; City: Puerto Del Carmen Lanzarote Canary Islands; Review: Just back from Lanzarote at the Hyde Park Bungalows - very clean and very quiet ! Stayed in a bungalow that was spacious and had all that you need. Pool was too cold for us to swim in but some hardy people seemed to manage it ! It was further to get to the main bars and restaurants than we expected having read previous reviews but taxi's are easy to get hold of. The bar area of the complex is a little disappointing and the food really not good value for money. But overall a great week - would recommend these bungalows !; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Olive Grove Apartments; City: Elounda Lasithi Prefecture Crete; Review: This was our second trip to these wonderful family run appartments. What a wonderful welcome we received ! The apartments as ever were spotless - again thanks to Steve who keeps everything gleaming ! The new kitchen and the great menu was really welcome - the breakfasts looked fab and certainly the meals that we had were great and excellent value for money. Sadly my husband had to endure 4 days in hospital resulting in us having to return to the UK early. I cannot thank Julia, Demitri, Manos, Andreas and Mickey enough for their kindness and support. They helped me every day and visited my husband in hospital - where else would you find such consideration and support ! I would also like to recommend First Choice and especially Rob our rep who helped throughout and got us home early - nothing was too much trouble and the daily hospital visits were so apprecated. These appartments, the family who run them and First Choice are simply the best - health permitting we will be back next year without a doubt. If you are visiting Elounda I cant believe anyone would consider staying anywhere else !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort; City: Playa Blanca Lanzarote Canary Islands; Review: We stayed at this hotel in early march. wow what a great experience ! The hotel was beautiful with an impressive reception area. We were greeted warmly with a soft drink and check -in was quick and informative. We arrived in our suite to find an exceptional bedroom, bathroom and comfortable lounge area - we were very impressed! The only disappointment was that we has the top end of a very large palm tree right on our balcony, We had booked a limited sea view - we had no view at all as the tree was all that we could see ! Be warned the room was 427C ! Otherwise the hotel was fab and very clean. Playa Blanca is lovely and the shops and restaurants are very close. We will be returning but will make sure that we book a full sea view to avoid the palm trees on the balcony !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Meltemi Luxury Suites; City: Perissa Santorini Cyclades South Aegean; Review: We have just returned from a wonderful holiday at these fantastic apartments. We booked a jacuzzi suite and it was well worth it as we had a large terrace, our own sun beds and a very well appointed apartment that was comfortable and roomy. Air conditioning was included in the price which was a bonus. The apartments, pool and surrounding areas are spotless and cleaned daily. Breakfast was excellent with a great range of cereals, hot and cold buffet and plenty of juice, coffee and tea. Nothing was too much trouble and if you wanted something specific eg an omelette it was not a problem and was cooked to order ! Athena the manager was wonderful. She really made our holiday special with her warnth, knowledge and great sense of humour. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she is totally committed to making sure that her guests are happy and well looked after. All the staff at the Meltemi Suites are excellent particularly Roula who was great fun in the evenings when we returned to enjoy a glass of wine late in the evening around the pool ! We were lucky enough to have one of the most competent and pleasant reps from Thompsons who was always smiling and ready to assist and advise. Henrietta you were brilliant thank you. Returning next year to this beautiful island and wonderful accommodation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort; City: Playa Blanca Lanzarote Canary Islands; Review: We recently returned to this wonderful hotel and could not have expected at warmer welcome. We were given a fabulous room on the sixth floor with great views of the pools and the sea. We were also greeted by a bottle of champagne and gorgeous strawberries dipped in chocolate as we were returning guests. It is clear that the management of the hotel take reviews seriously as the pool was much warmer this year and we were able to swim everyday. The whole hotel is so clean and it is wonderful returning to the room at night to find the bed turned down and chocolates on the bed. The only problem that we encountered was with the Piano bar - be prepared for a long wait for drinks and staff that are not that interested in customer service. Otherwise a fantastice week and we will be back for a 3rd visit. Thanks to all the staff who made our stay to great !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Meltemi Luxury Suites; City: Perissa Santorini Cyclades South Aegean; Review: Have just returned from the Meltemi Suites for the second time. Once again we experienced a fantastic holiday in this fabulous setting. Athina greeted us so warmly on our return and made everything perfect for us. We had a Jacuzzi suite which was extremely comfortable and once again experienced the perfect cleanliness of the room which was cleaned daily and very regular changes of bed linen. We cannot fault anything and will be returning for a third visit without any doubt. We had great meals in many restaurants but our favourite was the Cyclades Taverna where the service is excellent and the food is wonderful ! Thank you Athina and your team !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Restia Suites Exclusive Resort; City: Acharavi Corfu Ionian Islands; Review: We stayed in this hotel during September and the reviews of others reflect our own. In spite of the rain and it was torrential at times, we had a wonderful week. The owners made our stay very special and the staff throughout the hotel could not do enough. We had a pool room which was fantastic. It was quiet and very secluded and we would book these rooms again. We had a taxi transfer which was only 40 minutes. Will definitely go back due to the wonderful service, great food and genuine welcome from a great team.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Cumberland Hotel; City: Bournemouth Dorset England; Review: My son recently got married at this lovely hotel. I can honestly say that from the time that my son and his wife decided to have their wedding at the Cumberland Hotel, they were looked after really well. Brian the wedding planner was a star and made everything seem so easy. On the day everything went so well. The Cumberland team worked so hard to make the day a fabulous success. The food was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you to all the staff at the hotel, especially Brian who made sure that my son and his wife had the day that they really wanted !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Redditch West A448 Hotel; City: Redditch Worcestershire England; Review: Stayed here on the way to North Wales. A very good Premier Inn that was very clean and quiet. Alan on reception could not have been more helpful and was genuinely keen to make sure that our stay had been good. We ate in the Brewers fayre restaurant which was not that good. However we could not fault the breakfast. We will return to this Premier Inn for its comfort and cleanliness and most of all for the cheerful Alan !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Oriel Country Hotel Spa; City: St Asaph Denbighshire North Wales Wales; Review: Recently spent two nights at the Oriel House Hotel. We had booked a Deluxe room with dinner bed and breakfast. The room was excellent with a very comfortable bed, good sized bathroom and good tea and coffee facilities. Although the hotel was fairly busy on the 2nd night we were not disturbed. The food in the restaurant was good with plenty to choose from. Breakfast was freshly prepared with a great selection of fruit and cereals. The staff were friendly and efficient particularly those in reception. The only reason that I have not rated this hotel as excellent is the very long wait for our dessert on the Saturday night. A function in another room ( hen night ) seemed to take all the waiting staff away from the diners in the dining room ! The Oriel apologised for this and did not charge for some drinks. Because of this we will certainly return.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Alexandra Golden Boutique Hotel; City: Golden Beach Thasos Northeast Aegean Islands; Review: We visited this lovely hotel in July and were very impressed with the lovely setting and beautiful grounds. We booked a room with our own pool and to some extent we felt that we had wasted our money. The pool was lovely but there was no shade at all for most of the day and it was too hot for us to use it. I would definitely book a room with a sea view next time as the pools within the hotel are quiet and always had sunbeds. No need for the additional pool expense ! We did have some issues with the smell in our room when we arrived and this was put right very quickly. Hot water in the evening for showers was a problem for most of the fortnight. We have not experienced this problem in any of the 5 star hotels that we have stayed in before so we were a little disappointed. I have rated this hotel as excellent as the overall holiday was really lovely. In particular I would recommend this hotel because of its attentive and brilliant staff. Nothing was ever any trouble and the warmth of everyone working at the hotel was second to none. Thanks especially to George who worked tirelessly around the pool and beach! One tip regarding the half board option - the food is very nice and there is far too much of it. We had a Thompson's deal which meant that we payed very little to upgrade to half board. If we had not had this I would not have chosen to eat at the hotel as there are several really good taverna's nearby that are very good value for money. We will definitely return !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Cumberland Hotel; City: Bournemouth Dorset England; Review: Returned to the Cumberland to celebrate my Son and Daughter in laws first wedding anniversary. The wedding at thr Cumberland last year was wonderful and our return today was just as good. The food and service for our lunch was excellent and sitting in the sunshine around the pool was a great bonus. Would definitely recommend this hotel for a wedding or just a great meal.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Oriel Country Hotel Spa; City: St Asaph Denbighshire North Wales Wales; Review: We have visited this hotel very regularly owing to a close relative living in the area. We always find the service very good and the reception staff excellent. We usually stay in a deluxe room and it is very comfortable. The only downside is the weak shower. We ate in the restaurant on both nights that we stayed here and the food was excellent. There was a wedding on at the time of our stay and although the behaviour of some of the guests was not what we are used to we were not disturbed by noise during the night. A great place to stay and the staff cannot do enough for you.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sofitel London Gatwick Hotel; City: Crawley West Sussex England; Review: Stayed for one night on the 8th floor of this hotel before setting off on holiday the next morning. The room was very comfortable and we had access to the premium lounge which enabled us to have canapes and free drinks before and after dinner. Would recommend this hotel for cleanliness,comfort and convenience.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Suite Princess; City: Taurito Gran Canaria Canary Islands; Review: Having had our holiday dates changed by Tui, and only being informed by email, we were hoping that all the inconvenience and trouble that this had caused would be worth it once we arrived in Gran Canaria. On arrival, our first opinion of the Suite Princess Hotel was that it was lovely with a beautiful marble reception area and friendly and efficient check in. Once inside the room that we had been allocated that was where our opinion changed ! The room that we had been allocated was on the 8th floor and was right beside the main lifts. The room had not been refurbished which was a huge disappointment to us having read previous reviews. The dark "office" like furniture was awful and the whole room was so dark that we began to refer to it as " the Cave". The noise of the lifts was a constant drone in our room day and night. We were unable to get much sleep the first night and were woken every morning at around 5.30am by it. We tried to spend as little amount of time in the room as possible. The dining experience at this hotel was awful. The food was tepid or cold and at times totally inedible. Breakfast consisted of hard bacon and eggs that were either almost raw or cooked so much that they were like rubber. Evening meals were depressing as the food was either tasteless or inedible. If you enjoy your food on holiday this is not the place for you. We stupidly went to get our dessert together one evening and when we returned to our table it had been cleared and the bottle of wine we were drinking removed ! I know that a lot of people need to dine but this sort of behaviour is so bad and made us hate mealtimes. The hotel is in a lovely setting and getting a sunbed is not difficult. We won't be returning as the food is absolutely awful and not worth the money that we paid for All Inclusive.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Barcelo Teguise Beach Adults only; City: Costa Teguise Lanzarote Canary Islands; Review: Great hotel set in a good location near to the beach, shops and restaurants. We booked a Deluxe room without a jacuzzi bath. The room was small and the layout was certainly different as others have described. If you like to have privacy in your room or are travelling with someone that you don't know that well then this hotel is probably not right for you. We unfortunately had a room with the smallest balcony that I have ever seen, but we didn't spend much time on it so it wasn't a problem at this time of year. Food was excellent, hot and varied. Breakfast was particularly good with omelettes cooked to order. We enjoyed all evening meals and found the lunchtime options on the "All inclusive" package very good and again lots of variety. The pools are lovely and there were always plenty of sunbeds. Towels were removed if they were left without anyone on the beds which was a great policy. All in all this was a great hotel which was made even better by the fantastic staff who were cheerful, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Big thanks go to Javier who is without doubt an asset to the team. Would return without hesitation and would upgrade to a Junior Suite.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fiesta Hotel Castell Playa; City: Arenal d en Castell Menorca Balearic Islands; Review: Have just spent 10 days at this excellent hotel. From the moment that we arrived we were amazed at the superb service and wonderful staff. Nothing was too much trouble and a slight fault that we had in our bathroom was rectified on the same day. The selection of food was very good at all meals and although at times it was busy we never felt rushed and were able to enjoy our meals overlooking the beautiful views. The restaurant and bar staff work so hard and always had a smile on their faces. We had a room with a sea view. The bay is beautful and to look at the views every day made the holiday very special. Yes the room was a little tired, but it was comfortable and quiet. Hanging space in the wardrobe was limited due to a lack of hangers which was a bit disappointing. The entertainment team were brilliant as were the TUI reps. Kiera and Frankie worked hard to provide great daytime and evening entertainment. The only downside of the holiday was the sunbed situation. We couldn't believe the number of people who were bagging sunbeds at 6am and then left them for hours. The hotel has a policy of not reserving beds but it wasn't enforced until our last day when the lifeguard removed towels from unoccupied beds. Overall this hotel and its staff are fantastic. If it wasnt changing to Platinum next year we would definitely be back. Thank you to everyone at the Fiesta Hotel for our brilliant holiday.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: H10 Gran Tinerfe; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: stayed at this hotel with my partner in March. Overall the holiday was very good. the food in the buffet restaurant was good and there was always a choice of meals that suited us. The pool, rooms and reception areas were very clean and the service given by staff was excellent. Our sea view room although "tired" was spacious and the view was amazing. The only reason I haven't given a 5 star rating is that the air conditioning was poor and the noise from the resort was very loud at night. I would return due to the staff and food.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Spiritual Psychology: The Twelve Primary Life Lessons; Author: Visit Amazon's Steve Rother Page; Review: Spiritual psychology has just taken a giant step forward. Steve Rother has identified twelve primary life lessons which, at a soul level, people choose to master through physical incarnation. By identifying the main and the secondary life lessons that a person is working through, the higher purpose of these can be appreciated and the lessons mastered. Spiritual matters tend to be beyond the understanding of academic institutions. While universities do teach the works of inspired pioneers like Jung and Maslow, they cut away their spiritual components, leaving only the mundane and materialistic parts. Spiritual psychology will take root and expand with or without institutional support. Initially, it will likely leave academia behind and become its own science. So, if you have the pioneering spirit to become one of the early practitioners and researchers of spiritual psychology, remember this. The last frontier is not outer space. It's inner space!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Twelve; Author: Perseus; Review: 'The Twelve' by William Gladstone is an inspiring novel centered around the 2012 predictions. He weaves prophecy into a global adventure novel about one man's relentless pursuit of the answers to a great spiritual mystery. Eventually, after continuous page-turning suspense, he meets all of the twelve people who are the key to his destiny and that of the world. Throughout this fast-paced novel, the reader is reminded of the higher connections that all people share if they will only be open to their intuitive guidance. When the hero finally arrives at the crossroads of his ultimate destiny, the biggest surprise of the book unfolds and the chase is finally won. I heartily recommend this book to anyone who would like to treat themselves to a novel of hope, inspiration, and the upliftment of humanity. I'm adding it to my web page of Recommended Modern Spiritual Classics.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Having stayed at so many hotels along the journey, I cannot recall much about this hotel other than a terrific lift attendant, always chirpy, always helpful!

Title: Dauphine Orleans Hotel; City: New Orleans Louisiana; Review: The staff went above and beyond for us during our stay last August. Laundromats were closed and we were about to board a 7 day cruise. Staff washed our laundry for no charge. We were so impressed. The concierge recommended some wonderful eateries, local delights and appropriate places for us to take in the music of Nola. The only negative was the rather bad smell of cleaners in our room, i think trying to disguise the smell of damp. Would definitely recommend and return if ever back in Nola.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Sheraton Grand Seattle; City: Seattle Washington; Review: Everything about this hotel met with our expectations. It was perfectly situated to reach everything we required. Room was good, would have loved an outdoor pool! Breakfast was nice with fresh fruit for the waffles, great egg selection. The remaining facilities in general very good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Melbourne; City: Melbourne Victoria; Review: The staff here were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again based on its location and proximity to wide variety of restaurants. Its not too far from central Melbourne for shopping, right near the social hub of Melbourne with South Wharf, South Bank and the Crown Casino all within 5 minutes walk. The personable staff really topped off the stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lufra Hotel and Apartments; City: Eaglehawk Neck Tasmania; Review: even though old and tired, this place still had some charm and loads of character. Sitting right opposite the tesselated beach in pirates bay. Lovely spot. Enjoyed a fresh seafood basket for dinner in hotel restaurant.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Diamond Island Resort Penguin Show; City: Bicheno Glamorgan Spring Bay Tasmania; Review: This place is a little tired, but under new management/ownership, we were confident that it will be restored to its former glory. Well appointed rooms, with nice outlook. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Offered a wine and beer whilst checking in (gratis). Were able to watch penguins come in to roost. Will definitely be back one day.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Blue Hills Motel; City: Hobart Greater Hobart Tasmania; Review: in all fairness - this place is in the midst of renovations and we were lucky to get a room for the night in a very busy city! Room was old but clean with a good outlook. Staff were helpful and accommodating.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Madsen Boutique Hotel; City: Penguin Tasmania; Review: would love to have spent longer here. Great location, beautiful room, comfy bed. Freshly ground coffee, complimentary chocolates, port, sherry. Very, very nice. Breakfast was delicious and served with a smile. Would highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Atura Dandenong; City: Doveton Greater Melbourne Victoria; Review: Wow - who would have thought! Such a modern, tidy, clean and fantastic facility just outside Dandenong. Spent the night here, and evening in the downstairs brewery/beer garden. Excellent food, beers, service. Rooms were very nice. Clean, modern, stylish, quiet. Everything you could want in 1 place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quality Hotel Colonial Launceston; City: Launceston Tasmania; Review: dined here recently - apparently the oysters were amazing (attached). The place is a little tired regarding decor. Could really do with a makeover. Staff were very young, but reasonably competent. All in all a bit dark and drab but food ok.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Highbury Apartments; City: Launceston Tasmania; Review: one of the beds here was so terrible, i had to use pillows to sleep on! The place is tired and in need of a reno. Enough supplies for 3 people for 1 day, although 4 people were staying 3 days. Generous with bread and butter. Lighting was dim throughout the property, so dont plan to read! However the place was clean and in a great location up a very steep hill with views over launceston.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Sebel Melbourne Flinders Lane; City: Melbourne Victoria; Review: We really enjoyed our short stay here. Its a great location close to most melbourne attractions, restaurants, bars and shops. Very nice suite. quiet. Good service from staff on entrance and departure.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chomu Palace Hotel; City: Chomu Jaipur District Rajasthan; Review: rooms are quirky and maybe not opulent, but palace is 400 years old. Staff were amazing, they really went out of their way to make our stay a good one. Pool area very nice. Meals very good. Some of the bedrooms have very very firm beds.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Maison Perumal; City: Pondicherry Union Territory of Pondicherry; Review: We didn't love this place. The building itself was lovely - a quaint colonial building with open centre courtyard. The meals were chosen from a seasonal blackboard, but limited to choices. Some of our 8 diners loved it, whilst others were disappointed, so I would declare that it is "hit or miss"; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Fragrant Nature Kochi; City: Kochi Cochin Ernakulam District Kerala; Review: our room was divine, balcony overlooking the water, separate lounge, magnificent bathroom, comfortable bed. Service excellent, food good, although room service was not up to scratch on our first night - took too long and food served cold.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fraser Suites New Delhi; City: New Delhi National Capital Territory of Delhi; Review: Straight away I was struck by the general disinterest by the front counter staff. We waited 30 minutes for our rooms to be organised. Whilst waiting around I noticed the dirt and dust - I realise that Delhi is a filthy city, but I think that cleaners should be working to ensure that everything is dust free in the hotel. Our rooms were tired and although clean, seem to have years of built up grime. The view from the window is of a construction site. Restaurant staff are helpful and pleasant and the meals very good.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Palais de Mahe; City: Pondicherry Union Territory of Pondicherry; Review: Loved this hotel. The feeling is genuine old French colonial with the courtyard centred around the long swimming pool. the colours rich and vibrant. The rooms classic with a gorgeous vaulted timber ceiling. Beds comfortable, Service very good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Bryan Kest - Power Yoga VHS; Brand: Bryan Kest; Review: Overall this is a fine, challenging yoga DVD for those with some yoga experience and a good fitness level. However the production is really distracting; all the participants are dressed in tight white underwear and the cameramen focus on their "bulges" and Bryan Kest provocatively grabbing them in intimate spots to guide their poses rather than showing us clearly how the poses should look. It seems like he is going for a "avant garde, sexy" ambiance but it gets really annoying if you are just focusing on getting a good yoga workout.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Yogalosophy; Brand: Mandy Ingber; Review: I LOVE this DVD! It's a good challenge for days when you can't make the gym and want intense stretching and power yoga. Mandy's good nature and upbeat, fun commentary make the harder exercises easier to bear.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jillian Michaels Extreme Shed & Shred; Brand: Jillian Michaels; Review: I consider myself quite fit (try and do intense stairmaster workouts 4 times per week) and this DVD kicked my butt! It's immensely satisfying to stick with it though, and find your fitness improving. Now after about 6 weeks I can complete the various plank-walking and push up drills. Jillian seems like a bit of a sadist so sometimes I wish she would stop talking but overall this is very challenging and a good alternative to the gym.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Transform Your Body with Brooke Burke - Strengthen & Condition; Brand: Brooke Burke; Review: Not as tough as Jillian Michaels, so better for those who are new to training. I'm a regular gym user and found this pretty easy. However the ab section itself is worth the price-its a killer! Cute banter, and its endearing to see Brooke empathize and struggle with the exercises alongside the viewer.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Jillian Michaels Extreme Shed & Shred; Brand: Jillian Michaels; Review: If you are an experienced Jillian Michaels user and can get through the highest levels of 30 Day Shred and Extreme Shed and Shred this is not as hard. However it is still a fine workout, so make sure you have eaten something before starting or you will want to conk out and give up! The DJ is not that distracting as they only cut away in between exercises, however I'm not a fan of the synthesized dance music so I usually mute and put on my own once I am familiar enough with the routine.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Eriko s house; City: Boracay Malay Aklan Province Panay Island Visayas; Review: I stayed at Eriko's for 2 weeks while in Boracay. As the title says, the room was really clean. Mine had a plasma screen TV, a working fridge, a few closets, WiFi (it wasn't great but it was good enough for whatsapp and some minor web browsing) and air conditioning. The bathroom was also clean and functioning, although there was no hot water, as is the case with most places in Asia. The staff were very nice and helpful. You could request for them to clean your room every 2-3 days. There's also a security guard downstairs at all times, which makes you feel extra safe. The only downside is that while the location is brilliant, as it's right in the middle of Station 2 and a minute away from the beach, it's based right next to a club so light sleepers may have a problem with staying here! All in all though, for the price and place, I think it was very good!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hanoi City Backpackers Hostel; City: Hanoi; Review: Honestly, this place has everything I look for in a hostel. ->> First off, it's really clean. You get a fresh towel and fresh sheets every day. The shared bathroom is cleaned regularly. ->> As per the rest of the reviews, all of the staff are truly lovely and caring. They…; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Trafalgar Cottages; City: Boracay Malay Aklan Province Panay Island Visayas; Review: Having booked this hostel because of the number of positive reviews that they've received, I was shocked when it turned out to be substandard in every possible way. ->> DIRTY - on top of the room being tiny and stuffy, my sheets did not look clean, nor did the room. The shower room and toilet were in an appalling state by any hostel standards. To top it off there was no electricity at all when I got there and nobody could tell me when it'll be back on, which I'm sure added to my first impression. ->> Unfriendly staff - I was shown to my room and that was it. There was no friendly atmosphere, no small talk. When I told the owner that I'm moving to a different hostel he said 'okay'. I thought that he didn't understand what I said, so I repeated that I'm leaving and pointed at my suitcases - I received the same response. He didn't even inquire as to why I wanted to change, so I'm assuming that this must happen a lot. ->> Terrible location - not only is this hostel located in the middle of Station 3, which is far away from everything as I later found out, but also it's literally behind a busy market, which means that every time you leave you will get hassled by a number of sales people to buy something. ->> No social area - finally, I can't imagine this hostel being conducive to meeting new people. The social area is virtually non-existent as compared to other places. Funnily enough, I ran into an American couple while in Boracay who started telling me about a terrible hostel experience that they had in Boracay. After I started sharing my experience it soon turned out that we were talking about the same place. AVOID!!! There are sooo many better hostels than this in Boracay, which will cost you the same amount of money!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hoi Pho Hotel; City: Hoi An Quang Nam Province; Review: ->> Brilliant staff - I can't emphasise this enough. Everyone here was so committed to making you happy that it was truly impressive. Anna, who worked on the reception, and Thanh, who worked in the kitchen, were so lovely! The manager who I met on a few occasions was also incredibly attentive. ->> Clean rooms and bathroom ->> Great location, 2 minutes away from the Ancient Town ->> Great trips from the hostel - I signed up to two trips (My Son Temple sunrise tour and Bamboo Bikes Tour) from Hoi Pho and both were excellent, well organised and without issues ->> Excellent laundry and postage services The only suggestions I'd make is to put a fan, or two into the breakfast area, and work on increasing the water pressure a bit more in the showers. Thank you for an amazing stay!!! All the best :-); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kitesurfing Lanka; City: Kalpitiya North Western Province; Review: Kitesurfing Lanka really is what it says on the entrance gate to this place - 'a little piece of paradise'. - All of the staff are brilliant - on top of being super friendly and helpful they (incredibly) remembered all of the guests' names - The food was good! Small suggestion: It'd be nice if there was an option to try some real Sri Lankan dishes as well - The tents are surprisingly pleasant to stay in - I was pretty worried about spending close to 2 weeks in one of these but it turned out that they're very comfy and didn't attract nearly as many bugs as I expected - You have your own private beach - the beach right next to the quirky seating and chill out area was completely empty most of the time, which was pretty surreal - The instructors are great - if you want to learn kitesurfing this is the place! You get free transport to the big lagoon BUT you should keep in mind that it's pretty gusty most of the time, which can be annoying, but can also, arguably, make you a better kitesurfer. That being said, the wind is bearable and there are a few more spots around that you can check out if it's not. Final suggestion: While I really enjoyed my stay, I had to cut it short as I hurt my foot on one of the bricks laying outside of the girls' toilet when I was walking out of it at night. This should definitely be improved. All in all though, I'd definitely recommend Kitesurfing Lanka if you're planning on a trip to Kalipitiya and I'm sure that I'll be visiting it again at some point in my life :-); Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Biscuit Love: Gulch; City: Nashville, TN; Review: My husband and I stopped by on a Tuesday around 10:30. After waiting in line for about five minutes, we left and went to Milk and Honey for brunch instead. I would have guessed that there were about forty people in line in front of us and the line didn't move during that five minutes. I'll bet we would have waited for at least an hour. I hopped on yelp while we were waiting and saw from reviews that it was less busy really early in the morning. So we went back the next morning at 0730. There was no line! We ordered the Egg Plate with scrambled eggs and bacon and the Southern Benny. My husband also got a small orange juice. I would have also if I would have seen the Squeezerator before we completed our order! We had no problem finding a seat and the food came out quick! My eggs were moist and not overdone. The bacon was thick, salty, and delicious! We are from Iowa, we know good bacon and that was good bacon. The grits rivaled some of the best grits I've had! The biscuit was light and fluffy and the jam, although very watery, was delicious. My husband really enjoyed his food also, no complaints from him. All in all, a great meal! Just head here early!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Milk and Honey Nashville; City: Nashville, TN; Review: We stopped by on a Tuesday around eleven after waiting in a ridiculously long line at Biscuit Love for a short period of time. We were told 15-20 minutes for two, which I was cool with. They have an app to let you know wait times and where you are at in line based on your phone number. We were notified and seated right at the twenty minute mark. It was a little loud in the restaurant, but it was packed to the gills. Our waitress was a dear, Robin was her name, I believe. She served us well. I got the Hodgepodge Hash and my husband got the Chicken and Waffles. The waitress offered us a biscuit or something to start. We chose a biscuit, since neither of our meals came with one. It was amazing. Light, fluffy, crispy on the outside. It came with butter, jam, and honey. The honey was so unique and flavorful that I asked the waitress to write down the type of honey it was. (They have a chalkboard in the restaurant that tells you which items are locally sourced and where they come from - they had two types of honey listed.) The food came out quickly. Mine was delicious, but I couldn't quite pick out each of the ingredients to taste them separately. Together, they are tasty. The chipotle crema was really good. My husband enjoyed his chicken and Waffles and let me have a bite. The waffle was light and fluffy. The chicken crispy. He also had a Bloody Mary. Didn't rave about it but didn't complain either. Overall, a good experience and good food!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Row; City: Nashville, TN; Review: We stopped in late on a Monday night for some live music and drinks. We were a little hungry so we ordered the white cheese queso dip with bacon. The dip was terrible. No flavor and super runny. We also couldn't get our waiter (or any staff member) to come over to our table to complain. When we finally got our waiter to come over, it had been so long we just wanted to tab or and leave. A really poor experience.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Mas Tacos Por Favor; City: Nashville, TN; Review: We stopped in on a Tuesday evening (gotta have tacos on Tuesday!). We were worried about a line since this was a DDD joint and we'd seen it on other websites about the best places to eat in Nashville. We ordered the chicken tortilla soup, a tamale, a chicken taco and a carne molida taco. The soup and tamale came out first. The soup was different than the chicken tortilla soup I'm used to. It was more watery (or not creamy, I guess). It had a lot more lime favor than anything I've had. But it was good in its unique way! The avocado, tortilla strips, and tomatoes added extra depth to the dish. My husband really liked the tamale. I'm not a huge tamale fan, but the flavor was good. Poblano and something else, I can't remember. The chicken and carne molida tacos were both really good. I think our bill was $14. After we ate, we noticed the bar on the other side of the building. My husband went a got a margarita, lime, on the rocks. It was $6 and not store bought mix. It was really good! Overall, a great experience!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Peg Leg Porker; City: Nashville, TN; Review: We stopped in for lunch on a Wednesday around 1:15pm. There were several people in line, but the line moved quickly. True to the name, they only had pork as meats, which made the menu a little small. We ordered a rack of ribs to share, beans and potato salad. The food came out quickly. The ribs were a good size and visually appealing, but after biting into them, they didn't a have ton of meat on them. They were a little tough, but the flavor was awesome! They were dry (as in not wet) with just rub on them, no sauce. They had mild and hot BBQ sauce available. The mild was good, vinegar-y. The hot wasn't too bad. I could definitely tolerate it. The staff was assume. They had a couple guys milling around the eating area, busing tables after people left. They kept the place running like a well-oiled machine. They were really nice also! The potato salad was ok. Bland, but the potatoes were well-cooked. The baked beans were awesome! They smoke their baked beans and that instilled some awesome smoke flavor!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hattie B’s Hot Chicken - Nashville; City: Nashville, TN; Review: We stopped by on a Monday around six pm. The line was crazy! There were probably 40 people in line in front of us. The line moved, not quickly, but it moved. We waited in line for around 45 minutes. When we got to the front, I ordered a large white, mild, with pimento cheese mac and coleslaw. My husband got the tenders, hot, with pimento mac and cheese and baked beans. We didn't wait long for the food after finding a place to sit. My chicken was out of this world! The spice was perfect and the chicken was tender. Not the most moist chicken I've ever had but it wasn't dry. My husband loved his tenders. He said that it was the perfect amount of spice - his lips burned for a while after he was done eating. The sides were disappointing. I liked the pimento flavor in the mac and cheese, but my husband thought it was lacking. The cheese sauce tasted like Velveeta, not real cheese. The coleslaw was bland, I've had better. The baked beans tasted like Bush's, straight out of the can, heated slightly. But.... The chicken is worth it!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tennessee Brew Works; City: Nashville, TN; Review: We stopped by in the afternoon on a weekday. There were perhaps only half a dozen other people in the building. We just stopped in for a quick flight. The decor and ambiance were fun! We tried the Basil Ryeman, which was really interesting! Only try this one if you like basil, as the basil flavor is very strong! We liked it, though. We also tried the Farmer's Beat, which was reddish in color from the beet root. It had the beet flavor, but it was subtle, not very in your face. We had the Country Roots Sweet Potato Stout, which was my favorite! I think it's kinda hard to find a unique stout in this day and age. The sweet potato gave it a sweet, slightly earthy flavor. We also had the Wildwood Flower Honey Blonde. It was good. You could definitely taste the honey. The staff was nice. We enjoyed the visit!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Stillery; City: Nashville, TN; Review: We ate here a couple years ago when we were passing through Nashville on a bike trip. But we stopped at the Midtown location last night after leaving the Tennessee Titans uniform reveal and FGL concert. We got seated immediately. I ordered the mac and cheese with hot chicken. My husband just wanted the fried pickle chips. The food came out quickly. My Mac and cheese was good! The hot chicken wasn't as good as Hattie B's but had good flavor and wasn't dry. The portion size was large! The noodles were cooked, but not mushy. Idk if it was real cheese in the sauce or not, but it was good. At least drunk Lisa thought so. The pickle chips were crispy and crunchy. Delicious. The waiter was odd. Just kinda standoffish. Oh well, the food was good. We'd come back again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yazoo Brewing Company; City: Madison, TN; Review: We stopped in yesterday afternoon to try a flight of beers. We got the $11 flight, which is their preset flight. If you want to pick your own, it's an extra $4. The beers were ok, nothing special. However the staff was appalling. They were not social. We love talking to brewery staff and bartenders. All the staff huddled in one corner of the bar, talking amongst themselves almost the whole time we were in there, except when they were helping customers. The woman that helped us was bordering on rude. I don't remember her name but she has purple and green hair. I wanted to purchase a couple stickers and waited for a couple minutes with the stickers and money in my hand by the register by the swag. No one came to help me. I went back to the bar with the stickers and money and set them in front of me. No one came to check on us or help us. And they weren't that busy, because they kept congregating in the corner. We finished our flight. The woman that was borderline rude came over and took the money I had laying on the bar and began to walk away without saying anything.

Title: Holiday Inn Calais Coquelles; City: Calais Pas de Calais Hauts de France; Review: We've stayed at this hotel annually for many years. We find it has a certain standard which is more than acceptable. It is also very convenient for travel to most of the Nord Pas de Calais region as well as Belgium. It is pleasantly sited in countryside, yet near enough to Cite Europe, etc. Our one complaint (most people might not agree) is that their evening meal menu tends to be too exotic for our British palette as well as being quite expensive. Therefore, we have yet to 'dine in'. As for bar prices - aren't they all the same in France? Free WiFi - which worked well, was a bonus on this occasion.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Cardiff; City: Cardiff South Wales Wales; Review: Our children had booked tickets for us to see Russell Watson in Cardiff and a night at this very convenient hotel. (One of us was 60!!) Rooms and facilities were superb. Parking, though chargeable, was secure and easy. We shall return.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Calais Coquelles; City: Calais Pas de Calais Hauts de France; Review: We were back again this year for our annual trip to Pas de Calais. However, we were to be disappointed with the deterioration in quality of breakfast in particular. The food was abysmal in that it was either undercooked or overcooked. Even the French staple croissants were chewy and by no means fresh!!! Staff in the restaurant were aloof and more intent on preparing tables for the next meal than replenishing foods which had run low or run out. The hotel itself is in need of some tlc as far as maintenance is concerned. Some of the furniture needs to be thrown out as it is badly stained. Will we return - I doubt it - there's plenty of competition out there.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Winchester; City: Winchester Hampshire England; Review: We'd cancelled a Peppa Pig package as the grandchildren were ill. However, after a fast recovery by the two young ladies, their parents and us two oldies re-booked on a non package basis. This was easily resolved between the hotel and our daughter in law. On arrival we found that our rooms were on separate floors - not ideal as we were there to help with the children. Our extremely pleasant receptionist and a lady from housekeeping sorted adjoining rooms for us and supplied two single beds as an addition to their parents' room. Adjoining doors to the spotlessly clean rooms ensured we were on hand when needed. The choice and standard of food at breakfast was excellent. We would certainly recommend this hotel. Thank you very much.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Calais Coquelles; City: Calais Pas de Calais Hauts de France; Review: Overall a much improved Holiday Inn Coquelles, from our last stay in November 2013, when I had some serious concerns about the way in which the hotel's standards had slid from the many times we had visited previously. It was nice to see that the foyer was freshly painted and the furniture well presented with new, smart covers. Breakfast items were also much more palatable. the staff , in general, were pleasant and welcoming. One huge complaint is the adoption of paper cups and wooden stirrers in the rooms .. we have yet to experience this anywhere else we've stayed. Not pleasant to drink from and worth a re-think of policy. Bedding etc, was exceptionally clean, but the two chairs were stained (also complained about in 2013.) We stayed in room 237 which had pleasant views over the fields. The weather was also a bonus. Merci.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Tewkesbury Hotel; City: Tewkesbury Cotswolds England; Review: We'd stayed here some time before. The hotel staff were very pleasant and welcoming. We were allocated room 117 on the first floor which faced the road. There was, at no time, any noticeable traffic noise. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. We had an evening meal in the Brewer's Fayre and a superb buffet breakfast the following morning. Again, the staff were very pleasant and the food well cooked and presented. The breakfast choice of cooked and uncooked items was hard to fault and plentiful in choice and variety. We'd booked a meal deal - probably won't in future - even though it was good value. Would we stay again? Most definitely.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Camping La Pointe; City: Chateaulin Finistere Brittany; Review: We arrived towards the end of the season ... others were leaving or had left, so we were spoilt for a choice of where to park our caravan. A warm welcome from the hosts (along with the Celtic nations flag) was a nice introduction. They were always ready to help - but not intrusive at other times. We stayed for just a week. Quite central for visiting most of Finistere. The site itself was compact and very clean. 'Sanitaires' were spotlessly clean. Free WIFI , which actually worked, was a welcome bonus We found Chateaulin, though in a picturesque setting, to be quite 'bland'. Depends on what you want, I suppose. We would certainly return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Calais Coquelles; City: Calais Pas de Calais Hauts de France; Review: Having been critical of the Holiday Inn Coquelles in the past, I am pleased to say that the improvements made to the hotel have been excellent. We can't fault the time we stayed here recently and are glad to be able to recommend it once more for its location and value for money.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Dover A20 Hotel; City: Dover Kent England; Review: Convenient for the tunnel. Staff were welcoming. Our room was spotlessly clean. A very comfortable night's sleep.

Title: Prince Rupert Hotel; City: Shrewsbury Shropshire England; Review: Very pleasant, friendly staff. Refurbished, traditional hotel - well place for the town centre. An overnight stay after a train ride on the Heart of Wales line. Rooms were comfortable and very clean. We didn't dine at the hotel but breakfast on the following morning is well recommended. We shall, no doubt return!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Rabbit Flip-Top Cocktail Shaker (24 ounce, Stainless Steel); Brand: Rabbit; Review: I absolutely love the concept of this product, so I purchased one. I was just testing it out with water, and it leaked all over the place. I was really disappointed, but not ready to give up on it. I secured the lid again, and pushed a little harder on the locking side of the lid. This did the trick! It can seem that the top is fully locked in when it may not be. There is a little bit of resistance, but this is what locks the lid closed. I shook again, and it did not leak at all! Looking forward to using this to do more than just shake water!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Intex Classic Downy Airbed, Full; Brand: Intex; Review: We needed this for a family get-together and didn't have enough beds for guests in the house. Inflated it with a foot pump, which worked well. It really does stretch out a lot with first use, so the person who slept on it had an increasingly softer bed as the night went on. We are hoping this is a first-use problem but will see. Biggest disappointment, it is NOISY. We used this on a futon frame and it squeaked and squealed all night long whenever the sleeper moved or rolled over, as the air mattress rubbed against the futon frame. We'll need to put some thought into hhow to keep the noise down and keep the air pressure up for the next use.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Fit and Fabulous in 15 Minutes; Author: Visit Amazon's Teresa Tapp Page; Review: I highly recommend getting the DVD to go along with this book but this book is great because it explains everything you will be doing. This book really encouraged me. They recommend reading the whole book before starting the program but 3/4 of the way through the book I was anxious to get started.

Title: One Boy's Struggle: A Memoir: Surviving Life with Undiagnosed ADD; Author: Bryan Hutchinson; Review: This was a very eye opening book. I never understood ADD before and always looked on it as an excuse for hyper kids.

Title: Dear Dad; Author: Visit Amazon's Sundi Jo Graham Page; Review: This book may not be for everyone. However everyone can learn something from it. Sundi Jo takes you to the lowest points in her life. It takes you through the questions she asked and the answers she found. In this book you will see the world through the eyes of someone who has been abused, and sought comfort in drugs, alcohol, and elicit relationships. Yet despite all of her mistakes she finally found the ultimate comfort that only the Heavenly Father can give. "Dear Dad" is a letter Sundi Jo wrote to her earthly father but in it she points us to her Heavenly Father.

Title: Verse in Arabic; Author: Visit Amazon's Birgitte Rasine Page; Review: The book Verse in Arabic had me captivated,especially once the interview started. I would have liked to known early on whether the journalist was male or female but as the book went on and my question was answered, I realized that it didn't really matter. The suspense had me on the edge of my seat wondering what happens next. I would have liked it to been a little longer in order to get more questions answered. However the ending is perfect for leaving the answers to your imagination. It would have needed to been a longer book to get all the possible answers. This was an excellent short read that left me captivated. I could see the possibility of another book delving further into the possibilities. If you are looking for a short mysterious read where the ending leaves room for your imagination, then this is the book to read. I was given a copy of this book for my honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Gift of a Legacy: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Jim Stovall Page; Review: I really enjoyed reading "The Gift of a Legacy". It's a story told in first person through the eyes of an 80 year old lawyer. It's very intriguing. The young man in the book must learn 12 lessons before he can receive his inheritance. In a touching way we are not only given those lessons but find several unexpected lessons as well. Through this book we get a glimpse into the life of luxury with it's beauty and challenges. An excellent book! I plan to read more books by this author. (I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Home Run: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Travis Thrasher Page; Review: Home Run is a fictitious story about a famous baseball player. Abused as a child he became bitter and angry.

Title: Sweet Grace: How I Lost 250 Pounds and Stopped Trying To Earn God's Favor (The Sweet Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Teresa Shields Parker Page; Review: This book is a very interesting look at Teresa Parker's struggle with morbid obesity. In her memoir, Teresa shares the deep stories from her life that led up to her eventually weighing 430 pounds. At the hospital, she was told how long she had to live and that her heart was never meant to handle her weight. She shares with us her research on Gastric Bypass Surgery and what happened after she finally agreed to have it done. Then she brings us with her as she shares how even the surgery failed her. She started regaining the weight she had lost! But the story doesn't end there, through her struggle she finally loses 250 pounds and counting. Teresa shares her whole journey and findings from her research on sugar addiction. Then we learn what she did to finally lose the weight. If you or someone you love are headed toward becoming morbidly obese and can't seem to stop the cycle no matter how hard you try, then this book is for you. Teresa Parker's book "Sweet Grace" is very inspiring and can help anyone that is searching for answers to obesity. (I was given a copy of "Sweet Grace" in exchange for my honest review.); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: BROKEN; Author: Visit Amazon's Anne Peterson Page; Review: This is a very riveting memoir of the life of the author and her family. The scenes take you from her childhood and her adult life. She leads up to where she is today in her journey to healing. This book includes poetry by the author showing us how she felt in each moment. This book is very easy to read and flows well. The stories Anne Peterson tells are captivating and you can easily visualize each event as she tells it. I cannot say that this book was easy to read because it is very hard to read of people that would hurt those who should be able to trust them. However it happens and we need to be aware of it. The only problem I had with this book was some of the psychologist's advice. At one point I disagreed with what a psychologist had told her but I was glad to see that it didn't end there. She actually shares steps she took and that others could take to get out of the abusive situation and to help towards healing the wounded heart and to stop any abusive habits that the victim may possess. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is going through an abusive situation and feels alone in what is happening to them. I also recommend it for those who have a family member or friend that is possibly abused. And finally I recommend it for anyone that has never been abused but wishes to at least try to understand what might be going on in the minds and hearts of those who are in that situation and how they can be a better friend and support to those who are hurting deep inside.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: All Access: Unlocking the Power of God's Word; Author: Stacie L Buck; Review: All Access: Unlocking the Power of God's Word is a Bible study that is easy to read yet delves deep into God's word at the same time. The author keeps this study interesting with examples from real life. Scripture quotations come from the Amplified Bible which adds a little extra explanation in parenthesis. This book moves you to change and become stronger in your relationship with God. If you are looking for a Bible Study that takes you deep into God's word this book is for you. I highly recommend "All Access: Unlocking the Power of God's Word" to any Christian seeking a deeper walk with the Savior.

Title: Lulu's Lunch; Author: Visit Amazon's Anne Peterson Page; Review: I read this story to my 9, 7, and 4 year olds. Lulu is a little girl that is afraid to tell her mother that the school bully keeps stealing her lunch. She doesn't like lying to her mother. She finally decides to take matters into her own hands and with the help of her friends she sets out to stop the bully. "Lulu's Lunch" is a great conversation starter. It's a book that a parent or guardian can read to their children and use as a discussion tool about bullying.

Title: The Crooked House; Author: Visit Amazon's Anne Peterson Page; Review: "The Crooked House" is a beautifully illustrated story of a little girl named Kerrie who is embarrassed by the shape of her house. Even though her house is tidy, she doesn't want her friends to see it because it looks so different. Then one day Kerrie meets her neighbors who tell her the history of why her house is crooked. The story didn't change her house but it did change how Kerrie looked at her house and everything else in her life. I read this book to my younger children. They enjoyed the story and it opened us to further discussion about how we look at things and how we can turn something we think is ugly into something beautiful.

Title: Sweet Change: True Stories of Transformation (The Sweet Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Teresa Shields Parker Page; Review: Teresa Parker has done it again.

This book is filled with real life stories of men and women that have come to that moment of realization in their own lives and made those steps towards changing bad habits and ultimately improving their health. Sweet Change is a very encouraging book that can help you find the strength and help to break free of your own bad habits and addictions and improve your health and your life.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Louie & the Leaf Pile; Author: Visit Amazon's Maria I Morgan Page; Review: In Louie and the Leaf Pile, Louie learns a valuable lesson in friendship and asking for help. I read this story to my three youngest children ages 3, 5, and 7, with my 10, 15, and 17 listening along as well. This story is beautifully illustrated with bright simple pictures that go along well with the story. I enjoyed reading it to my kids and hearing their answers to the discussions questions at the end. The book is about friendship and that sometimes we need to put aside our pride and not be afraid to ask for help. Louie wants to clean up the yard. He let his pride get in the way and he tried to take care of the yard by himself. His plan could have been disastrous if his friends hadn't helped him. Louie learned that everyone needs help sometimes. When we work together the job is a lot easier and safer for everyone. Here is what my 5 year old son says about the book: "He (Louie) munched the grass. And he put a scarf on his engine. His friends helped him. I learned don't put a scarf on the engine. Can we read it again?" So I guess there are more than one lesson you can get from this book. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Garden Table; City: Indianapolis, IN; Review: First of all, this place is seat yourself (which no one tells you when you walk in) so my husband and I waited for several minutes watching others nab tables before someone finally approached us and told us to grab our own table. Same with ordering, once we were finally seated, server came by with menus and got us water, but never mentioned we needed to order up at the counter. So from the time we got there it was easily 30 minutes before we even ordered. My husband and I were excited to try this place so we ordered a few dishes to share. We were surprised when our total was almost $60. But, we thought it'd be worth it from everything we'd heard. Once we got our food, we had some questions about the restaurant/food and were eager to chat with our server. He was snippy and always seemed in a hurry to leave the table. Pretty crappy. The food was good but not impressive. And the portions were TINY. I understand they're a "healthy" restaurant and organic/well sustained foods are more expensive...but it still significantly overpriced. I eat 90% organic at home and know what it costs and I felt cheated. You're DEFINITELY paying for an experience here...one that we felt cheated on at that with the crappy service. Don't think we'll return here on our own accord.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Omoni Fresh Fast Korean Grill; City: Carmel, IN; Review: My mom first recommend this place to us. She's been to Korea and when she came home she was looking for an authentic Korean experience near home. My husband and I have been back several times since. The owner and his sister are very very nice and always come visit us in the café to chat while were eating. The toppings are delicious and I love that you can choose whatever you want and what sauces you want as well. It's always super hot in the bowl and the fried egg definitely makes the dish. We love this place and will definitely keep returning.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cancun Mexican Restaurant; City: Carmel, IN; Review: My husband and I tried this restaurant shortly after moving to Carmel. We had exceptional service. Our server was Pepe. Although his English was pretty rough, it didn't hinder our experience at all...(it actually forced me to practice the Spanish I learned in school). The second time we came, he remembered us and brought us queso upon greeting us at the table. When we mentioned that we weren't going to order queso this time(on a budget) he left if for us and left it off the bill as well. He's become quite the pal and inquires about our dog and baby, etc. He even got my husband a birthday gift when I mentioned his birthday was coming up. As for the food, we get the same thing every time. My husband gets the Tacos de Carne Asada and I get the Carnitas. Now to give you an idea of how much I can eat...I can match my husband. That includes being able to cram down a 16oz steak from time to time. But with chips and salsa(and possibly queso and guac), I always have enough leftovers for another meal. The amount of pork they send with the Carnitas is incredible. And the food is consistently delicious. The salsa has a slight kick to it, just how I like it. I will say, we haven't tried any other entrees. And the service is never anything other than typical Mexican restaurant service when Pepe isn't there. However, we will continue to return for the food(and for Pepe!); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: MacKenzie River Pizza Grill & Pub; City: Carmel, IN; Review: Pizza and salads are fantastic. A couple of times they've made mistakes and were very quick to apologize and remake it. Once we even just disliked our salad dressing and they happily served another salad with a different dressing for us. One of our favorite places to grab a pizza.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wild Eggs; City: Carmel, IN; Review: Kudos to this place for their extensive GF options. Servings were a good size and service was fantastic. However, I got the garlic and mushroom scramble, and I LOVE garlic. I put in in almost every meal. But these eggs...all I could taste was garlic. The flavor profile was very disappointing and so strong of garlic I hardly ate any of it. The pancakes and potatoes were great, though. And they squeeze oranges every morning to make orange juice. Best OJ my husband and I have ever had. We'll definitely return, I just won't be ordering the garlic scramble!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: The Divine Hima; City: Dharamsala Kangra District Himachal Pradesh; Review: The property is located at a calm and serene place.The food quality is very good and the hotel services were prompt. We were staying in two rooms the indra haar pass and la parang pass. Since both the rooms were spacious it took time for heating the rooms in chilly winter. The room heaters /AC took near about 2hrs for proper heating. Due to some problems of water leakage in la parang pass we shifted to Kungti pass.The latter was a less spacious but good .Now the pros and cons of the property. PROS: The property is having good view of dhauladhar range of mountains, the property and the rooms were well furnished and decorated, the food quality and choices were good,eco friendly hotel with yoga and meditation facilities, each room is decorated in separate manner. CONS: Poor entrance to the property the path is covered with weeds,lack of professional people in housekeeping and management of room services but restaurant services were up to mark. SUGGESTIONS :THE ENTRANCE PATH COULD BE DECORATED WITH CREEPERS,LOCAL FLOWERING PLANTS,24 hrs Front desk Should be there for taking care of all room services, Some professionals should be kept to manage room services since when people are arriving in winter the rooms could be kept warm beforehand. Overall a nice stay and kudos to Mr Sanjay and his team to maintain a eco friendly hotel with all amenities of a 4 star hotel but the suggestions should be kept in mind otherwise the hotel may turn into average overpriced one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Bamboo Retreat Hotel; City: Gangtok East Sikkim Sikkim; Review: We visited The Bamboo Retreat during 28 to 30th April 2018.We stayed at two rooms the Ginger and The Turquoise.

The food and services were excellent. NOW the pros of the hotel: The hotel is having good view of Gangtok town and mountain.The hotel is located at calm and quiet place and one can hear the mountain birds chirping in morning.The rooms are having their own specific colours and no two rooms are same.The hotel is having a garden restaurant and food quality is good.The hotel is kids friendly and located near Rumtek Monastery. NOW the cons : The approach road after Mayfair Gangtok is under construction so not smooth drive is not possible. The rooms are small but there is one family suite at second floor which is much spacious.The hotel is also upstairs so not recommend for people with severe joint pains. There are few suggestions for improvement:There should be electric kettle in each room with tea kits which were placed in common area.The Emerland room can be converted into two spacious rooms with terrace view.Food choices may be improved.

Title: Beachcoco Women's Maternity Wide/Straight Comfortable Pants Made in USA; Brand: Beachcoco; Review: These were really quite tight, and the material is not thick enough to pull it off. I am usually a medium, but should have ordered large despite the general advice to order 'pre pregnancy' size. I'm 23 wks and have gained the weight I am supposed to, but medium pants and skirts of all types are just too dang tight - general advice to early pregnant mamas out there.

Title: Free to Live Women's Nursing Cardigan - Lightweight Long Sleeve Criss Cross Pullover Top; Brand: ; Review: While this is not perfect, it has become my favorite item of clothing since having my baby a month ago. It is very soft and very functional. Just the right level of warmth for December around the house (we keep our heat on - this is not a heavy sweater). Super easy to breastfeed while wearing.

Title: Baby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit - Swaddle Transition Product - Cotton - Cream - 6-9 months; Brand: Baby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit; Review: But the smaller size. My babe was 6 mo 18 pounds and the large size was too big to really dampen his movements at all, so it was more of a warm bodysuit.

Title: Baby Toddler Kids Breathable Sun Hat 50 UPF, Adjustable for Grow, Stay-on; Brand: Twinklebelle; Review: The most important piece is defective.

Title: Stretch Sensations Chelsea Recliner Stretch Slipcover, Taupe; Brand: Stretch Sensations; Review: It is soft, and it covers the recliner but the seat cover won't stay in place, as others have said. Also the back is made kind of weird and I can't get it to a snug fit. The back just hangs. If the recliner were up against a wall it would be a non issue but it's not. The fabric is thin as others have said and it's not really sewn together well, also as others have said.

Title: Kalamar Hotel; City: Kalkan Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: This was our first time in Kalkan and we really enjoyed it - there is a shuttle bus into the town and night and it was only about a Fiver back and the taxis are very safe and professional. we had a duplex room and it was worth it. The terrace that they use for breakfast is a great venue with stunning views across the bay. the hotel was busy but quiet, with very few round the pool, as most people seemed to go to the Beech club - it was very busy on our first week as schools were still off but it calmed down later. I have to say that I found it expensive and we waited 45 mins for a pizza when the place was empty - I just think he forgot to put the order in - but there was no great apology when I cancelled it. the shuttle to the Club and the town will come back for you as it only holds about 12 people -so I wouldn't worry about getting on it. the quality shopping in the town is very good and almost all the restaurants have outside terraces which are brilliant and needed in the heat and all have fans or air-con. there is little atmosphere around the hotel at lunchtime or night but everyone is going to town anyway for the choice of restaurants. The staff at breakfast do seem a bit sullen and young but I think that they have to carry the plates up the stairs so they have to hang around the bottom of the stairs so it looks like they are sullen - all the staff were very good. The fridge in the room as adequate and there is a good small supermarket about 7 mins walk away - or do what we do and bring water and stuff back home with us in the taxi all round very good and I will bang up some reviews of restaurants !!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Sandals Grande Antigua Resort Spa; City: St John s Saint John Parish Antigua Antigua and Barbu; Review: went arrived from Ireland to spend 11 nights. the room was great and the food excellent. There was no rush for the beech lounges in the morning as there was plenty of room on the beech - although if you needed an umbrella - they were the fixed thatched type - then you would have to get up one of the bug-bears is the butler service which some people used which put a cool box and towels on your beds of choice in the morning - I don't mind that but I do object to people using the facility and then not coming back until 4 pm after the had been on a trip! we liked going to the barefoot for lunch and it always dragged on as we were too content to move. We went about 3 pm The staff are very good and welcoming and will do anything to help. There are a lot of Canadians which is nice and we met some really great people from all countries - the Dirty Duck pub is great at night if you have the stamina!!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: TUI Magic Life Sharm el Sheikh; City: Sharm El Sheikh South Sinai Red Sea and Sinai; Review: this hotel was in an excellent spot and is probably one of the best for food and service that i have had in Sharm going back 12 years. we enjoyed the beech as the main pool is a bit full on with noise and kids but Hey that's fine and was very popular. the quiet pool is also what it says on the tin but gets filled up quite early. The beech is good but can be windy but there are wind protectors so we really enjoyed it there. Dont think you can swim though as there is a coral reef at the end of the sand and you will have to go way out to get any depth - you can do this as there is a jetty which takes you to the swimming and snorkelling points everyone there seemed to enjoy it; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Java; City: Playa de Palma Majorca Balearic Islands; Review: we went to Mallorca for a weeks break and stayed in the Java. This hotel has be refurbished and has a modern look and feel. The rooms are a bit small but well finished although the stylish design has meant that there are no drawers in the room. The bathroom is well designed and roomy. the hotel is spotless and the public seems to be thoroughly cleaned every day. the bar is nice and the breakfast is good with a wide range.available. You can sit outside for meals but there are a only a few tables. It is very close to the beech and the Playa. If you turn right outside the hotel and stay inside the grounds beside the water feature there is a small path which takes you right to the supermarket, beech bars and restaurants. the bus stop across the road takes you right into palma and comes about every 12-15 mins (Number 25) but can be busy as it comes from Arneal. You can get off at the cathedral and get back on there at the same place as it is a one way system so you dont have to cross the road Beware the queue to get back on the bus is very busy and disorganised and can be a bit of a scum. the bus goes the whole way round the city on the way back. The hotel is only 7 mins from the airport - it was quicker to get to the hotel than from the plane to passport control, but you hear no aircraft during the day lying round the pool. there is plenty of space round the good sized pool but the usual early risers who want their favourite spot. No lilos are allowed in which is good. It can be windy up on the terrace but we liked the breeze. the gym seemed to be good quality and was well used mostly German or Dutch at that time of the year but a few English some of who only popped down for a long weekend which we would consider reception staff very helpful; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Imperial Hotel; City: Blackpool Lancashire England; Review: It still has its grandure if a little faded The room is small but the bathroom big - not really up to modern standards but warm/hot and comfortable and the shower was great and powerful Staff on reception were very good and parking available but it was a tight squeeze as it was sooo buszzy We enjoyed it - the breakfast was very good and we enjoyed the stay Take old grandeur with the experience of Blackpool- - a perfect combination; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Londonderry Arms Hotel; City: Carnlough County Antrim Northern Ireland; Review: This place is right in the centre of the glens of Antrim where they filmed Game of Thrones, the giants causeway, and the Antrim coast drive. Visitors might think it is hard to get to but it is only 40 mins from Belfast International airport, about 50 mins from Belfast City airport and about 20 mins from Larne Port for the ferry from Scotland but a car is recommended. It is an old hotel once owned through inheritance by Churchill. The rooms are comfortable, the lounge has a big roaring fire and the bar is full of character. The staff could not have been better there was a slight problem with our room and we were found in the bar to say that we had been moved to a better room without asking. The food is excellent and the breakfast are the best Throughly worth a visit; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sandals Barbados; City: St Lawrence Gap Christ Church Parish Barbados; Review: This was great holiday and the people and staff were brilliant they could not do enough for you - the rooms were great and the staff in the loyalty office would do anything to help. Bar restaurant and entertainment personnel all fantastic I could name people but would run out of space Very relaxed and more importantly a very happy place everyone was constantly laughing Excellent and high quality in every possible area It's being doubled in size so I hope they manage to keep that atmosphere; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Atlantica Bay Hotel; City: Limassol Limassol District; Review: We made a last minute break for Easter and were so glad we came here You read reviews that say the staff were all so friendly and it really was true - they couldn't do enough The food was first class and I overheard some woman at lunch saying that there was nothing she could eat - well she must have been in a different hotel or very very picky! I had to start choosing between big breakfast or no lunch as it was too much Excellent covered pool but which slides open to let the sun in Pool area can be a bit cramped and tight Beach area facilities not open until May but you could cross the road and lie there Bus to down which lots of people took was just outside see pick! Special a la carte restaurant was superb; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Skeffington Arms Hotel; City: Galway County Galway Western Ireland; Review: We were down on a stag weekend and all arranged to meet here as we were in different accommodation A great spot The bar is beautifully decorated and reminded me of the Crown in Belfast only over 3 stories Food was excellent and reasonable and I think I was in it about 6 times over the 2.5 days At night it was packed but you could still get a space to have a pint and listen to the music which was great; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Villa Mahal; City: Kalkan Turkish Mediterranean Coast; Review: We went here for my birthday and what a fantastic setting not overlooking kalkan bay but almost in it - our table was about 4 feet above the deep green waves below us set on a terrace. The food was excellent although a little slow but that gave us more time to enjoy the views across the bay back to kalkan There are not that many tables so I would advise booking - we are going back later this weekend!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Monachyle Mhor; City: Balquhidder Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Scotland; Review: This has to be one of the best destinations in the UK. Forget your phone, unless you want to go and stand at the bottom of the garden to get a signal. WiFi can be found in certain corners of the hotel, but if you come to this part of Scotland you want to enjoy the scenery not spend time doing emails. The rooms are quaint, but with boutique styling throughout and are very comfortable. The food is to die for. Whether the owner-chef or his assistant is in the kitchen, it makes no difference.........the food quality is faultless and worth the journey. Excellent and reasonably priced wine list completes the dining experience. Make sure you stay for at least 2 nights and if it is the right time of the year there might be offers to be had!!!! Perfect helicopter destination with its own helipad just to the front of the hotel. Can't wait to go back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Amazian Mountain River Lodge; City: Underberg KwaZulu Natal; Review: So where can I start? This is an absolutely out-of-this-world oasis of culinary delights presented in resplendent surroundings. The views from the terraces, of the sun setting over the horizon in a silent location, are to die for. The set menu, served for all guests at about the same time, is a hedonistic experience of tastes, colours, textures and the platter presented by Trudie is a work of art almost too good to eat......but it was eaten.!!! The fixed menu will help you along a tasting journey that otherwise you might not have embarked upon. Brent's choice of superb wines, that he personally sources from small producers, add to the heavenly delights of Amazian. Beautiful public areas and delightful rooms add to the total state of relaxation at this first class establishment. Visit Sani Pass with a private guide if you have time. Well worth a day trip. Normal levels of security means you have to have the security code to gain access. Get the code before arriving, Otherwise you may have to make an international call to get through the gates!! Richard; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ocean View House; City: Camps Bay Western Cape; Review: Fabulous location overlooking the sea and ideally located in a quiet part of Camps Bay only 6 miles from Cape Town's V&A. Also very easy access for Table Mountain. Room 17 is one of the best rooms at the facility with a fabulous shower and loads of fresh soft towels. The staff are very attentive and caring and pay attention to detail. Great breakfast served in a casual inside environment or alternatively outside by the pool. Very well stocked minibar. Richard; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel San Lorenzo; City: Palma de Mallorca Majorca Balearic Islands; Review: This is an absolutely wonderful small, private hotel...completely different to all the mass produced city centre hotels, where, once you're in the room, you could be in any city anywhere in the world. This hotel is quite unique located in a small quiet side street on the Old Town and well worth a visit....and worth repeat visits. Its location is perfect. Near the Cathedral and close to my favourite Palma restaurant....Caballito de Mar (Sea Horse). Both less than 5 minutes walking distance. Lots of other quaint traditional restaurants and eating places within a few minutes walk. The rooms are all individually designed and spread around the central staircase and small swimming pool. See if you can get room 6....small suite...perfect and overlooks the pool. Staff are so attentive and can't do enough. We'd cycled from Pollensa for 2 nights in Palma and on departure we found we had a puncture and a faulty spare tube to add to the problem. The staff (Marisa) tracked down the nearest bike shop and within 30 minutes we had spares and were sorted and on our way back to Pollensa. I can recommend the cycle; 3 hours.....far better than driving and lots more to see on the way. Breakfast, the only meal service, was excellent...though they have yet to add poached eggs to the menu!!! Can't speak too highly of San Lorenzo and will be back, making this my (only) chosen hotel in Palma. Don't miss it, you'll not be disappointed. Richard; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ballathie House Hotel; City: Stanley Perth and Kinross Scotland; Review: Attracted to Ballathie by one of its offers. Been before, but only for a quick lunch. This time it was a 2 night accommodation deal with dinner extra. Paid extra for an upgrade to a suite and had dinner in the restaurant both nights. And wow, just how good was the restaurant? It was faultless. Food fantastic, service impeccable and impossible to say anything negative about the whole experience. Scott and his team have achieved an amazing level of perfection. Every course was a work-of-art on the plate. Almost too good to eat, but we did !!! Portion sizes are perfect. Will be back.....with or without a voucher. Highly recommended. Do try Ballathie, even if it's only for the dining experience. Richard; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Macdonald Loch Rannoch Hotel; City: Kinloch Rannoch Perth and Kinross Scotland; Review: This was a first time visit and was a chance find through an emailed offer. What a lucky find it turned out to be. The food was exceptional and far exceeded our expectations. The service throughout the hotel was first class and the staff were so attentive. The GM couldn't do enough for his guests; he seemed to be there all the time, 24/7, when does he sleep???!!! The views across the Loch are to die for. We required a special secure parking area and this was sorted by the GM, by doing a cone-off at one end of the car park. Now that is service. So good was the experience, that we're returning for a weekend in July. Thanks to all the staff. Richard; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fraser House; City: Inverness Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: What a great find...an excellent B & B. Can't be bettered. Only located this by chance through an online search. Room spotlessly clean with everything I needed. Nice firm mattress and slept well except for the occasional disturbance from late night revellers and early morning seagulls!!! What a fantastic breakfast. Free range eggs and the bacon from the local butcher is to die for. Jenny, who owns the facility, really works hard to look after all her guests. She is a one-woman band....I don't know how she does it. Will be back on my next visit to Inverness.Highly recommended. Richard; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze - Nintendo Wii U; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Great graphics and gameplay. Superb music! Welcome back David Wise! Extremely challenginging game! The game is so beautiful younger kids love it, but playing it is suprisingly challenging to them. Fun for all ages! You will die and die some more..but the music, gameplay, and graphics are so enchanting you'll keep playing till you earn your way through. Solid game!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Super Mario 3D World - Nintendo Wii U; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: It's Mario!! Either you love it or hate it. Solid gameplay compliments eye popping HD Mario World. You know to expect from the Mario series familiar characters in unique worlds. Multiplayer is great. Younger players can float along with elder players never missing a beat. Excellent family game as expected. Nintendo knows how to make fun playable games. It's Mario!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mario Kart 8 - Nintendo Wii U; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: I absolutely love this game!! It's been a highlight of the summer. I play games to have fun. Nintendo does not dissapoint. Great gameplay, graphics and audio make this game a no brainer. The best part is it is family friendly. No guns, no blood, no sexual crap and no cussing. A solid game that doesn't need weak gimmicks (listed above) to have a great time with friends and family. Did I mention NEW tracks and characters coming in November/May. Awesome!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyrule Warriors - Nintendo Wii U; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: I'm glad I took a chance on Hyrule Warriors! Vibrant colors compliment excellent gameplay. The combos are excellent!! FYI: It's only a hack and slash game if you play it that way. Combos are the best way to mow down monster armies. Play as your favorite Zelda characters (heroes and villains). It's cool to see a predominately cast of strong female characters in a game. The music rocks! I am impressed with how much I've enjoyed Hyrule Warriors. Great game!! Keep up the good work Nintendo!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Set: Super Mario Bros U & Luigi U (32 GB); Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Great value. (Currently $100 cheaper than PS4/Xbox1) Great games. Exclusives that only Nintendo can offer: Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Zelda Wind Waker HD, Hyrule Warriors, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2. The Wii U also has a back catalog of classic Nintendo and Super Nintendo games to purchase on the virtual console online. (Nintendo 64 and Game Cube games seem to be next in line) The gamepad is cool, kids seem to enjoy it. The ability to play games on the gamepad without a tv is a cool option for a one tv home. One person can watch tv, while the othe can still play Wii U games on the gamepad at the same time. I personally perfer the Pro Controller. (sold seperately) I enjoy using it the most. The Pro Controller has a good feel to it, and superb battery life. Family friendly games combine with childhood nostalgia. The Wii U also makes a great complimentey 2nd console to play those Nintendo excluseives and get your third party fix through PS4/Xbox1. Win/Win. I'm happy with my Wii U purchase. I play it daily.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bayonetta 2 - Nintendo Wii U; Brand: by

Title: Super Smash Bros. - Nintendo Wii U; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Outstanding!! I'm a first time Super Smash Bros player and I'm sold! I played for five straight hours the first time I played. Mega Man and Toon Link are great! Nintendo knows how to make fun games with solid gameplay and infinite replay value! Super Smash Bros for Wii U is a superb family friendly game for everyone to enjoy. I now understand the hype. Bravo!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is an absolute joy to play! It's a charming family puzzler game. The 70+ stages consist of mainly cube-like worlds that are puzzles. It takes about 3 to 10 minutes per level to solve. It depends on how long you want to explore. No timer, no pressure. Go at your own pace. :) Captain Toad or Toadette must navigate to get to the Golden Star at the end of each world. They can not jump, so you must plan out how to approach each world/puzzle in advance. The Game Pad is used to change the angle perspectives of the cube world in each level to reveal hidden paths and treasures. The Game Pad is the only controller you can use to play and it is a single player game. You can easily have the whole family participate together in solving each charm filled level on the big screen. Great fun!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Punch-Out!!; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Great game with classic Nintendo gameplay. Digital download is a cheaper alternative than disc version. Little Mac!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kirby & The Rainbow Curse; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: At first, I was a little hesitant about Kirby & The Rainbow Curse due to the style of gameplay. A stylus is used with the GamePad to guide a ball shaped Kirby on a rainbow colored path of your making. It's easy and fun to figure out. Tap Kirby to give him momentum to roll faster and also to attack enemies. The claymation art style of Kirby & The Rainbow Curse is truly an enjoyable experience. Kids and Adults a like will appreciate the creative art style of the clay sculptures. Beautifully done. The pure genuis of the game is playing multiplayer with family and friends! Up to three Waddle Dees can join Kirby simultaneously on his adventures. Adults will appreciate the solid gameplay, replay value, family friendliness and graphics. Children (4 and up) can easily grasp the gameplay. Kirby & The Rainbow Curse helps children with creativity and teamwork skills. It is a joy to watch my nieces' eyes light up when playing Kirby & The Rainbow Curse. Nintendo has done it again. The price is nice too. Bravo!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mario - Gold amiibo (Super Mario Bros Series); Brand: Nintendo; Review: The days were short. The nights were long and cold. A sparkle of gold glistened from the darkness. The Gold Mario Amiibo has come to light up your heart and imagination. Thank you Nintendo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Splatoon; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Splatoon is another great addition to an already solid Wii U game library. The silky smooth gameplay creates a truly memorable experience. The online mode: Turf War is a vastly exhilarating experience! I find my heart rate increasing with each passing final second counts down in each online match as I feverishly try to cover as much area as possible with colorful hues of ink. There will be NEW, FREE online stages available throughout the summer and beyond. The lack of voice chat is a non-issue. The online matches are three minutes long and with the Game Pad map you don't miss a beat. I must emphasize: No voice chat is a non-issue. :) Slatoon also offers a full single player campaign that is a blast to play through. The bosses will utilize all of your Inkling skills. The single player mode also helps to sharpen you Inkling skills for online matches. Splatoon contains the typical Nintendo charm, polish and magic that has made Nintendo an industry gaming icon. Splatoon is a brilliant family friendly game! No blood. No bullets. No cussing. Just pure colorful ink splattered genius. Bravo!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: God of War 3 Remastered - PlayStation 4; Brand: by
Sony; Review: I am new to the God of War franchise. I like God of War 3 Remastered. It plays really well and looks fantastic. The only issue I have is the stationary camera angle. I'm used to being able to rotate the camera angle around the character like in Bayonetta 2, to get a better view of the action. Sometimes Kratos gets hidden behind objects or appears so small due to the camera angle. GOW3 Remastered is a fun game for gamers who have never experienced the game before.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: HORI Splatoon Protector for Nintendo Wii U; Brand: by
Hori; Review: The Hori Splatoon Protector is a great addition to your Wii U GamePad! The colors are vibrant and the design has nice quality feel. The shell (protector) snaps together (2 pieces) to enclose the Gamepad. The Hori Splatoon Protector is mostly a cosmetic item. It will protect against scratches. It will NOT protect against drops or falls. I love the look of it. The colors really pop on the black GamePad. The Hori Splatoon Protector is a great quality accessory to compliment a great game.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Super Mario Maker - Nintendo Wii U; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Nintendo does it again!! The Wii U by far has the greatest collection of First Party games of any current system. Super Mario Maker is another excellent Wii U game to add to an already stellar line up. The fun and creativity involved in Super Mario Maker are on a level of it's own. Nintendo gives you the keys to the castle. The freedom to create the levels you've always imagined and wanted to experience in a complete and easy to use package. The format to create your levels takes about 5-10 minutes to get the hang of. The real challenge is creating complete cohesive levels to challenge yourself and others online to complete. You must complete your level before you can post it online, other players can play your levels and rate them. They can also leave constructive feedback on their favorite parts of your level and give helpful tips on how to improve your levels. Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros U are all represented in this charmful game. You can switch between which style suites your style the best. The more you play the more new items you will receive to use in your creations. Bravo, Nintendo. Bravo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yoshi's Woolly World - Wii U; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Yoshi's Woolly World is an excellent game for the whole family to enjoy together. The gameplay is solid. The graphics are enchanting. The music is beautiful. Yoshi's Woolly World is one of the most relaxing and stress relieving games I've ever played. I can't explain it. I just felt euphoric playing Yoshi's Woolly World. I can't wait to give this game to my nieces. I know they will fall in love with Yoshi's Woolly World, like they have with previous Nintendo gems: Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros, Splatoon, Captain Toad and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. Thank you Nintendo for giving me another opportunity to share the joys of gaming with my nieces and family. Forever young at heart :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: PlayStation 4 Universal Media Remote [Old Model]; Brand: by
PDP; Review: The PS4 Universal remote is a waste of money and time. Why is it so difficult to sync a Sony PS4 universal media remote with a Sony tv and a Sony soundbar? Key word being: Sony. The tv will turnoff but not back on. The soundbar does nothing. I couldn't imagine syncing this pathetic remote with other brand name flatscreens and soundbars when it will not sync with Sony equipment. Awful product.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Standard Edition - PlayStation 4; Brand: Activision; Review: COD Black Ops 3 feels like three different games in one package. The campaign is long and enjoyable plus replaying it with zombies is a nice touch. The multiplayer is fun, the controls feel nice and smooth. The Zombies campaign is my favorite. The 1920's jazzy setting creates a unique cinematic feel for the Zombie campaign. The graphics are beautiful, the gameplay is solid and mowing down zombies is a blast! I'm happy with my purchase of COD Black Ops 3.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fallout 4 - PlayStation 4; Brand: by
Bethesda; Review: First time Fallout player. Fallout 4 is the funnest game I've played this current generation. A truly immersive experience in a post nuclear fallout wasteland. Cyrogenics, giant roaches, and mutants inhabit the world of Fallout 4. Bravo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Xenoblade Chronicles X; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Nintendo and Monolith Soft have created another gem to compliment the Wii U's stellar library. Xenoblade Chronicles X is an ambitious, massive open world JRPG. The Earth has been destroyed and it's survivors have migrated to an another planet. The amount of detail and depth in the planet Mira are truly breathtaking. Phenomenal exploration. The story is on the thin side, but the rewards of discovering new landscapes and alien life are worth it. Patience is a virtue in XCX. Did I mention the giant weaponisable mechs (Skells)? Bravo!! FYI: Reversible Cover and I oredered an extra red Wii U case.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Devil's Third - Wii U Standard Edition; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Dig that crazy music! I'm having a great time playing Devil's Third! You can tell Itagaki put some heart into this game. It's like your starring in a great cheesy eighties action movie. Ivan rocks! Literally, on the drums and on people's faces. Lol. I guarantee you haven't played anything like Devil's Third before. I love being able to slide on the ground while simultaneously firing a shotgun. It's like Ninja Gaiden on crack. Not that I know what crack is like but I'm guessing this might come close. Merry Christmas!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: My six and four year old nieces like the game a lot. I hear them laughing and yelling when their playing it. It was Christmas gift. It looked pretty basic from what I saw. Gameplay looked solid with the typical colorful Nintendo style graphics (Mario Kart 8). The glaring missed opportunity I noticed was no Wii remote motion controls. That makes no sense that motion controls are not an option. Nintendo dropped the ball there. The game looks great and up to four can play together locally. Online matches are available too. The kids seem to like it a lot, so I can't complain there. Nintendo charm. :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Alien: Isolation - PlayStation 4; Brand: by
Sega; Review: Alien: Isolation is a great game that creeps up on you (literally and figuratively). Beautiful graphics and an intense atmosphere, create a memorable gaming experience. Alein: Isolation is a phenomenal representation of the Alien franchise. I don't know how many times I've jumped when the Xenomorph suddenly appears out of nowhere and pierces through my stomach with it's tail. Frightening. Great times. The DLC is the icing on the cake. Play as Ripley (or any of the crew) aboard the Nostromo. It was a treat playing this being a huge Alien fan. The price is a excellent bargain for this instant classic Sc-Fi horror survival game. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Street Fighter V - PlayStation 4 Standard Edition; Brand: by
Capcom; Review: The fluid gameplay and beautifully done graphics make Street Fighter V stand tall above the rest. The foundation has been layed for one of the best fighting games I've played in a while (possibly a generation). The gameplay is rock solid. The graphics can NOT be fully appreciated until viewed on an HD tv. Street Fighter V has an exquisite color palette that pops off the screen. The interface layout is streamlined for easy access to all aspects of the game. The online is the meat of the game obviously, but Survival, Challenges, Story and Versus modes offer a nice variety. Street Fighter V is great for veteran and novice gamers alike. I'm patiently waiting for my Mad Catz Shadaloo TES+ Fightstick to be delivered. Great times!! FYI: It's sad and pathetic to tell people not to buy a game. If a person doesn't want to buy a game, so be it. If a person wants to buy a game it's their choice. I'm not hurting for money, I'll buy whatever I please. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mad Catz Street Fighter V Arcade FightStick TES+ for PlayStation4 and PlayStation3; Brand: Mad Catz; Review: The Mad Catz TES+ Shadaloo fightstick is a magnificent piece of gaming hardware. Authentic Japanese-style Sanwa Denshi joystick and buttons highlight the TES+ fightstick. Touchpad controls compliments premium quality components with a genuine arcade layout. PS4/PS3 compatibility. The artwork is exquisite. The gold Shadaloo logo pops off of the black background. The Mad Catz TES+ Shadaloo fightstick is great for competitors and casual gamers a like. I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Update 3/5/16: Works well with Mortal Kombat XL and Injutice. Tekken 7 is also around the corner which would perfectly utilize the arcade style layout. Great value for this fightstick.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Pokken Tournament - Wii U; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Pokken Tournament is a breath of fresh air to the fighting genre. Nintendo and Bandai Namco do it again!! Pokken Tournament is an easy game to learn but difficult to master. The gameplay is fluid with plenty of options to attack and counter attack your opponents. The Phase Shifts are a nice addition. The perspective changes after performing a devastating move. It changes the perspective from traditional 2D to 3D, altering the move sets that can be preformed in that perspective. It's a clever addition. The colors are vibrant and the online play is smooth and consistent. Pokken Tournament is a great addition to any Wii U library. Bravo. ** Pokken Tournament works really well with the Mad Catz Tag Tournament 2 TES Fightstick. It is nice to have so many controller options to play Pokken Tournament. A great game gets better with multiple controller options. Bravo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dark Souls III - PlayStation 4 Standard Edition; Brand: by
Bandai Namco Entertainment America; Review: Dark Souls 3 is a beautifully done game with solid gameplay. The music is exhilarating and the graphics are superb. Dark Souls 3 is very challenging but that's the fun of the game. The more you play (die) the more you learn how to defeat the enemies of darkness. Dying a lot is just part of the process (you have infinite lives). I actually think I like Dark Souls 3 better than Bloodborne. Bravo From Software!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Star Fox Zero + Star Fox Guard - Nintendo Wii U; Brand: by
Nintendo; Review: Star Fox Zero is good and the combination of Star Fox Guard makes it great. The first time I played SFZ I was a mess. Lol. Too much going on. I quit playing and tried again the next day. I did the practice mode with the Arwing a couple of times before I played the main campaign and the controls clicked for me. I only look at one screen at a time and you can play only looking at one screen once you get a feel for the motion controls. Star Fox Zero is a lot of fun. I'm glad I didn't listen to the negativity. It's another example of trying something out for yourself. Bonus: Star Fox Guard is an excellent family/friends game that can be played with a group of friends/family. You control multiple cameras with laser guns. You control one camera at a time to defend against robots attacking the mining site. You have twelve cameras to cycle through to find your pesky intruders. You must choose the correct camera to stop robots from entering and reeking havoc at the site. It is fun because people can help out and see a robot(s) on a particular camera that you may have not noticed. It gets really hectic in a good way when multiple robots attack from multiple places at the same time. Fun game!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Doom - PlayStation 4; Brand: by
Bethesda; Review: Speed kills. The furious pace and the exquisite graphics make Doom a memorable experience. The soundtrack has a Trent Reznor vibe. It's very exhilarating. I highly recommend Doom.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan - PlayStation 4; Brand: by
Nickelodeon; Review: TMNT Mutants In Manhattan is a charming single player family friendly game by Nickelodeon and PlatinumGames. The artistic style and solid gameplay combine for a memorable experience. I couldn't stop laughing at Michelangelo's comments. Children, teens and adults alike will enjoy the humor in TMNT Mutants In Manhattan. My only real complaint (besides some generic music) would be the lack of local co-op, otherwise it's a fun game. Single player is good but online is the best way to play in my opinion. Cowabunga! :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Transformers Devastation - PlayStation 4; Brand: by
Activision; Review: If your a child of the 80's or new to the Transformers scene, this is a fun game. The gameplay is fun and the graphics are colorfully vivid. The sounds and voices are phenomenal. It's not the longest of games but it's fun and action packed! It's a great addition to any PS4 library. Platinum Games has done it again. Bravo!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- PlayStation 4; Brand: by
Aksys; Review: I'm new to Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator. It's a beautiful looking game. At first I thought it was kind of slow (I've been playing a lot of SFV), but the more I play it the faster it seems. The gameplay is solid and the animations are top notch. Great fighting game!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Bethesda; Review: To those who appreciate horror and dark themes, The Evil Within does not disappoint. Bravo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Steep - PS4 Digital Code; Brand: by
Ubisoft; Review: Silky smooth gameplay. Steep has beautiful graphics that compliment an exhilarating gameplay experience. The gameplay is the real gem in Steep. The controls are fluid and precise. It took me no time to get the feel for snowboarding and skiing. It is addictive and extremely rewarding to plan out jumps and tricks. Do not be afraid to instantly restart a run (hold triangle). The squirrel suit is cool (paragliding not so much), but the snowboarding and skiing are what makes Steep a great game. The only complaint I have is the online only (internet connection required to play). There is no excuse to have online only, besides milking micro transactions. Other than that, Steep is a phenomenal snowboarding/skiing game for the winter season and beyond. Cheers!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Square Enix; Review: Nier: Automata is an exhilarating experience that should be experienced by every true gamer out there. I cannot recommend enough. Bravo!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tekken 7 - PS4 Digital Code; Brand: by
Bandai; Review: Tekken 7 is a superb fighting game. The gameplay in Tekken 7 is it's greatest strength. The amount of fighting moves, juggling and combinations are phenomenal. Limitless character customizations compliment Tekken 7. The music jukebox containing all of the previous Tekken soundtracks is a nice bonus. Highly recommend for fighting game enthusiasts.

Title: Be Live Experience La Nina All Inclusive; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: We visited here (a couple both 26) on the 28th of May 2013 for 1 week. First impressions were good the lobby area is beautiful very bright and spacious. There was a small queue at the service desk so there was a bit of a wait to get settled in but after 15 mins or so we were directed to our room (No. 628). We had requested a higher floor but there was a nice view so no complaints. The room is nice two big single beds, a small but adequate balcony and a decent sized bathroom. I was a bit disconcerted at having no kettle in the room being an avid tea drinker but i got over it! Also the shower tended to run from scorching to freezing which was a nuisance. The dining room is a good sized and there were always plenty of tables available. The food was a mixed bag. Breakfast and lunch were lovely with a good variety but dinner was consistently disappointing. There were a few evenings (3 of 7) we went in had a look around and left to eat out as there was nothing appetizing. They do themed nights which i wasn't a fan of. The staff are really friendly and very accommodating although I felt it was understaffed at busy times. The drinks were good although as a vodka drinker there wasn't many options for mixers apart from pepsi or 7up. My partner got great use from the san miguel tap in the pool bar which is self service. At 1pm they do food in the pool area. The hot dogs are lovely but i didn't like the burgers(fatty) or the fagitas (swimming in oil and fatty). The pool area itself is spotless. I was awake at 5am one morning and went downstairs and staff were meticulously scrubbing all the floor inside and out. The maid service for the rooms is decent, on one day or room was cleaned twice! However, our bed sheets were not changed during our weeks stay which is pretty disgusting and not what you would expect from a 4 star hotel. The evening entertainment was pretty bad and more aimed at kids. On the one night we thought we were getting live entertainment it was basically a guy on a computer playing music and singing. The location of the hotel is great there are some bars and restaurants just across the road (gordon ramsays and the victoria do a lovely set menu). You are also within walking distance of los americanos which has loads of good pubs. Siam park is nearby and is a definite must.. It was the best day of our holiday by far... its faux beach is probably the nicest in tenerife. So all in all we enjoyed our stay but were let down by the evening meals and entertainment. Personally, I think the hotel would be good for families and older couples but don't thinks its suitable for a young couple.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Great National South Court Hotel; City: Limerick County Limerick; Review: We went here with a pigsback voucher (2 nights bnb for 99 euro) and I have to say it was much better than I expected. The room was huge, with a comfy bed, couch and full dining table. Decor is a bit outdated but all in all perfectly adequate. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. We had food in the bar and it was delicious and well priced. It is quite a bit from town but as we were in a large group it didnt cost much to get into town. The residents bar is open late to get a last drink in also. The only downside is the breakfast. I'm lactose intolerant and there was no alternative to cows milk. It might seem like a small thing but this is the first hotel/restaurant i'v been to which didn't cater for me. The breakfast was generally nice part from the sausages which were undercooked for me. Also they kept running out of breakfast items and we had to ask for additional rashers, eggs, brown bread for toasting etc. Also its worth noting that there is no swimming pool in the hotel. I have to say though we got a good bargain and really enjoyed our stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: DIT Majestic Beach Resort; City: Sunny Beach Burgas Province; Review: This was one of the most difficult reviews to write because the good things are outstanding but the bad are just atrocious.. i guess the best thing is to read my experience and make up your own mind. We arrived at the hotel at 10.30pm at night and were immediately impressed by how grand the the hotel looked. We checked in and were told to leave our bags and a porter would bring them up to the room. We went up to the bedroom and it was lovely. It was carpeted and had a good sized bed and a huge tv. I went to look outside on the balcony and nearly had a nasty fall. There was a high step leading out onto the balcony which took a few days to get used to. The sea view was just magnificent and was lovely to wake up to every morning and definitely worth the extra money. Forty minutes after we arrived the bags still had not been brought up to our rooms. It was late and we wanted to go for a few drinks so we just went down and got them ourselves. It was not busy at the time and the staff were just standing around chatting so i'm not sure why we were left waiting. Anyway it was quiet in the bar area and we had a few cocktails which are two for 11 lev and were very tasty. The seating area is pretty and relaxing. That night and every other night I had a great nights sleep. I found the bed very comfortable. The breakfast was a mixed bag. If you are looking for a full irish breakfast you will be sorely disappointed as most of the cooked items are not nice with the exception of the fried eggs (perfect every time) and the beans. Theres a good selection of breads, cereals, fruits and salads. Their is a coffee machine which makes the most delicious coffees and a juice machine (there was only one so be prepared for queues). The dinner.... heres where it gets tricky. We never intended to eat dinner there daily as we like trying different restaurants but if we had I would have been pretty annoyed. We went down the first evening and tried several items such as cooked meats, potatoes and veg and did not like any of them so I thought I would try a salad which was equally disgusting. There was general things like chips and pizza which tasted fine but when I'm holiday I dont want to feel like I'm eating off the kids menu. The worst part was it was impossible to get a drink. We were there 25 minutes asked 3 different servers and still got no drinks so basically we left and never went back for dinner (half board was a waste of money). I would have been willing to give it another try but my partner is a fussy eater and he hated even more than I did. The pool was simply gorgeous. I spent most of my; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fota Island Resort; City: Fota Island County Cork; Review: I stayed here for a night in January with my fiancee. Its such a beautiful place and the staff are all very friendly. We spent the day in the spa area and pool which was clean and very relaxing. Dinner was delicious and afterwards we sat in front the the open fire drinking wine. Total bliss! Rooms were gorgeous and the bed was so comfy I slept the whole night through for the first time in my life (I have terrible insomnia). I enjoyed the breakfast and have no complaints about the stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lawlors Hotel; City: Naas County Kildare; Review: I stayed here for my hen party in August 2015. Everything was perfection. The room was amazing. The staff let my friends into my suite early to decorate it as a surprise. My bridesmaid told me that nothing was too much trouble and that they were able to accomodate all of her requests.We had a private room for the meal and the staff were so professional despite my enthusiastic slightly drunk group. The meal was delicious there was such a good choice for the price. All of the staff were so nice to our group and made the entire stay so special for us all. I really enjoyed breakfast the following day also. I have stayed two additional times since my hen party and we were treated equally well. I would definitely recommend this hotel for any event.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: World of Archangels: How to Meet an Archangel; Author: Chaudhary Sufian; Review: I found the author to be over the top at times. The long, drawn out and repetitive explanations on clearing chakras and creating white armor, orbs etc. Left me wishing there had been an appendix where the chapters told you to reference it. I finally lost belief when the author described Archangel Raphael looking at how her balcony .was made. I did have the wonder the other readers had and I love angel books .; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Angel On Board: Watch out for angels watching out for you; Author: Visit Amazon's EJ Thornton Page; Review: I expected a story on true angel stories. This was loosly based on the author. The writing is on the level of a young teen. I had hoped for factual events but this is far from real. Hard for me to recommend because of its literary weakness; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Daily Painting: Paint Small and Often To Become a More Creative, Productive, and Successful Artist; Author: Visit Amazon's Carol Marine Page; Review: I have this book in both hard copy and kindle version. I can say it is very motivating and easy read. Carol has some really good hints and reasons against the "no creation demon"that lives in artists. I found the book motivating and supportive. I wonder how long the small paintings will continue to sell. Is this book on the tail end of things? Carol has found her niche and has a very good teaching style especially for oil painters. I would like her to step out of her comfort zone and try some acrylic!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: After The Warning 2016; Author: ; Review: This is a very well researched book on the future of man and the Earth based on Biblical and Catholic prophecy. The information in this book is very in touch with current events but I recommend discernment as you read. I found myself feeling stressed and afraid during parts. I am not Catholic and not familiar with the Saints and find it difficult to believe Catholicism is the one "true" religion. The interpretation of the prophecies are fascinating. The book could be shorter by leaving out or in incorporating some of the redundant areas.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Body Rides; Author: Visit Amazon's Richard Laymon Page; Review: This is a very odd story. The typos drove me crazy- how many times and ways could Marta be spelled wrong?

Title: The Barefoot Summer; Author: Visit Amazon's Carolyn Brown Page; Review: I thought this was going to be a intriguing little book , but it became a sappy little story about three women who married the same man and it all decided to live together happily ever after in a cabin by the lake . Really ???Detectives don't fall for their prime suspects ;ex-wives don't become sisters in kind. The use of poor grammar didn't make them country or southern but made them sound a lot more stupid . I daresay I won't read another novel by this author because I felt it was way too fairytale and make-believe all mixed together and the part of finding out he didn't kill the ex-husband was saved for the very last in about three pages. definitely , not my cup of sweet tea.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: All the Little Children; Author: Visit Amazon's Jo Furniss Page; Review: Mom, friend and kids go camping. Everyone dies but them and the boys from the boys school. Marlene keeps having all the accidents that are unbelievable. She has this issue with a scab she keeps picking to bleed. Why the story keeps going back to that beats me , there is no relevance.

Title: It Ends With Her; Author: Visit Amazon's Brianna Labuskes Page; Review: Well, I gave the book 3 stars because the ending twist earned it. I am not sure I have ever read a book that I hated one of the main characters more than Clarke. The book is divided in chapters named for the different characters. I hated to see the chapters come up titled Clarke. She is a whiny, dysfunctional FBI agent and her chapters were full of her loathsome self pity. I also began to despise her partner Sam for all the times he called he kid. So for me the chapters about Clarke could have been a lot less and more on the other characters who made the story. It does finally explain Clarke and her ways in the end and that is probably her only saving grace.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: A Killer's Mind (Zoe Bentley Mystery); Author: Visit Amazon's Mike Omer Page; Review: I really enjoyed reading this book.

Title: Martin s Brugge; City: Bruges West Flanders Province; Review: We have stayed at Martins Bruges now several times and always been pleased- we opted for a larger room "Great Double Room" this time, and it cost more but was really nice. Only down-side is that there's no tea/coffee making facilities in rooms, so take your own as we do! The hotel is clean, staff friendly, the bar good, breakfast great (costs extra but unlimited food hot and cold) . Right in the centre of Bruges, a stroll away from all the sights. Car park nearby. Can't go wrong!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Clayton Lodge Hotel; City: Newcastle under Lyme Staffordshire England; Review: Stayed once before - disappointed then as we had paid extra for an "executive room" which comprised only a manky dish of fruit and a bottle of cheap wine- rip off- Hotel is near to relatives, only reason for stay. Room this time was in need of update - shabby, no hairdryer - just a scribbled note blue-tacked over the plug "do not use" - i did use it as I was going out, and it worked? The bathroom was awful - smelled of boiled cabbage, with grimy bits on corners, handles and taps that meant only hasty wipe-over not cleaning. The view from the window was like a tip, as were views from all windows, Needs serious upgrade.... staff on reception helpful. Breakfast okay.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Sheldon B B; City: Eastbourne East Sussex England; Review: Booked last minute for a weekend away - the welcome was lovely from the owner, and our room was spot on - clean comfy and warm. Big comfy bed! Bathroom a little small, but this didn't matter. Short walk to beach, front and restaurants. Car parking (free) a real bonus, so no worries about that. Breakfast was excellent, in lovely spotless dinig room. Would recommend, and will stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Duc de Bourgogne; City: Bruges West Flanders Province; Review: This hotel is in the perfect location, on the canal with wonderful views.You will see the hotel on many paintings/pictures of Bruges! Lovely welcome from the staff, and our room was really nice, huge bathroom and clean. The breakfasts were excellent, sitting looking over the canal, in a magnificent dining room, full of candelabras and paintings. The hotel is full of olde worlde pictures, artefacts and ornaments and so charming! Be warned, no lift if you struggle with stairs - the stair /landing carpets need changing as rather old and worn, but this is the only "critisicsm" if there is one! I will definitely book here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Hand and Flowers; City: Marlow Buckinghamshire England; Review: This was a Christmas present for my husband, there was a 6 month waiting list to book a room! Hence going in June. It was worth the wait. The staff are trained to a very high standard and we felt very welcomed by all the staff, and made to feel special. The room was gorgeous - small, but this is not a complaint, everything has been thought of. Fresh water, fresh milk, (in a fridge, where you could store vino) Nespresso coffee maker, home made biscuits, and home-made lardy cakes. Lots of other extras too, The bed was heaven, and we both agreed we have never slept in a hotel with such comfy pillows! We booked an early table for our meal (our choice) and walked in to see another famous chef in there having a meal with friends. We did not feel rushed at all as another reviewer has commented, indeed we were there long after our booking time. The food was excellent, as was the service. After our meal, we went out into the garden as it was a fine evening,and had some wine. The rooms are in two cottages next to the pub. Breakfast was delicious, with the same excellent service (from Gavin, when we were there, who is a credit to the establishment). We are looking forward to a return visit and would highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Stoke on Trent M6; City: Newcastle under Lyme Staffordshire England; Review: Stayed here several times visiting family in locality. Always reliable, clean and comfy, although bathrooms a little dated in some rooms, but not a complaint. Ate in the restaurant/bar - standard fare but very nice indeed. Staff well trained and very polite. Would recommend, and will be staying here again on next trip.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ambasciatori Palace; City: Jesolo Veneto; Review: Overall, I can not say that I didn't enjoy my holiday at Hotel Ambasciatori Palace, but there were a number of issues that we will remember. The hotel is in the perfect location, in our opinion the "right end" of Jesolo beach and shops. The hotel is on the seafront with private beach and ample sunbeds which is lovely and so clean. The sea is warm and clean. Be warned, the beach is plagued with hundreds of "looky-looky men" - endlessly trying to sell you everything from sunglasses to towels, jewellery and "designer" handbags, to a body massage - just politely and firmly say "no" and they move on. Although not illegal, I don't think they are allowed to stop and hang around, so your possessions are safe. The staff in the hotel were very nice and pleasant. Recommend a room with a sea view - we had one on second floor but direct view ahead is blocked by the hotel trees you will see in pictures of the hotel!- This was not a negative issue though, just a comment. You don't tend to spend much time in your room anyway. The rooms are small (usual for Jesolo) but the bathrooms are dingy, very run down and desperately need to be updated. There was a dirty cord hanging from the bathroom ceiling into the bath (it didn't seem to work anything when pulled). I did not take a hairdryer and wished I had, as the one installed on the wall in the bathroom blew scorching hot air at a low rate. The rooms have a small fridge, but ours did not work. In fairness we mentioned it after a few days and they brought in a second fridge to the room which worked. The communal guest areas of the hotel downstairs were spacious, but terribly dated and crowded with frilly, worn chair covers. The area could be so very nice with just a modicum of updating. Meal times were somewhat memorable for the wrong reasons.... dinner is served buffet-style/ self service from 7.30pm sharp. A queue began to form at 7.15 and when the door was opened and serving began - it was like a stampede and a "bun fight". It reminded us of the "Carry On " film or the TV series "Benidorm"! We would say that the "Brits" were just as embarrassing as the large Russian contingent of guests we observed - and we are not meaning to be rude, but they grabbed several dessert dishes first, piling onto the tables, before stting down, then getting starters/ main courses with heaps of food, resulting in food running out for the more polite guest; food was left half eaten/untouched sometimes on their tables. The dining room is a large bright room which was very noisy so evening meals were not relaxing at all. The food was really nice and varied each day. The staff were always pleasant, patient!- and very helpful, although there were not enough of them. We chose, therefore not to eat every day at the hotel - there; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Rounceval House Hotel; City: Chipping Sodbury Cotswolds England; Review: Stayed for one night on 13 September 2014 - this is an absolutely lovely hotel, with character features and spotlessly clean. The staff give personal attention and were very friendly. Good parking facilities, close to the high street for restaurants/bars/ cafes/shops. Not noisy at night as at the end of the street. The room we had (Room 1) was enormous, bright and cosy too - with the addition of fresh flowers and different tea/coffees. The bed was extremely comfortable and bathroom lovely, with nice toiletries. Woke up to the smell of croissants baking.... nice! Breakfast was delicious - "full English" not greasy and rushed, but felt individually prepared with care, lots of other foods available, and a cafetiere of fresh coffee. This excellent hotel is a highly recommended treasure, and we are already planning a return visit. I have no criticism at all, unless breakfast could be served until 10.30 instead of 9.30 so I could have had another hour in that comfy bed!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Admiral Sorrento; City: Sorrento Province of Naples Campania; Review: Stayed as couple, lovely room on 3rd floor with balcony overlooking the Bay of Naples towards Vesuvio - amazing view - Naples twinkling at night time opposite, and fishing boats quietly chugging out to sea.... so relaxing! We invariably sat on the balcony at night with a glass of wine chatting and looking at the view. The hotel: very clean, rooms really nice, everything you need... with french doors opening out on to the balcony- we left open every night, for the sound of the sea and breeze. Agree with other reviewers - take comfy shoes/sandals for the walk up to Sorrento town - it is a fantastic walk, with views, steep but most ages/fitness manage it. We visited the second week of October and the weather was fantastic - very hot!! Twice a week the hotel put on special dinners on the terrace - really enjoyed, with traditional dancing and singers, recommend this for the atmosphere. Otherwise food was good, but if you're looking for some Sorrrento flavours - eat out in the evenings as we did. Local bars in the Marina serve local wine in the evenings very cheaply by the carafe and you can sit in the Marina Grande and look out to sea - it is AMAZING. we loved our holiday in Sorrento - but would say the hotel is suited to couples, (when we went there were lots of mature couples rather than youngsters or groups) not children as it is in a quiet spot and there isn't a beach as such. Pool looks cold and bottomless...! The hotel is in the shade in the afternoons but this was not a problem for us as we did sightseeing and went into Sorrento each day. If you want peace, tranquillity, a lovely relaxing room with views, and enjoy walking and mooching around a beautiful town, eating lovely food and then sitting in the evening at the harbour sipping vino, this is for you. Recommend: boat trip to Capri, (breathtaking) visit to Herculaneum (smaller than Pompeii and more "manageable") - go by train yourselves, don't take an organised (expensive) "tour"- its so easy to find.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Snowdon House; City: Shanklin Isle of Wight England; Review: Stayed for a relaxing long weekend - booked the four-poster bed room (Room 6) which is spacious, tastefully decorated, lovely. Spotlessly clean, with what appears to be a new modern bathroom, with all amenities. Highly recommended room! Comfy bed with excellent "memory foam" mattress. Breakfast individually cooked (you order evening/day before from a menu) with a list of choices. As coffee buffs, very pleased to have large "proper" cafetiere of fresh coffee at breakfast! Hotel is short stroll from the cliff lift down to the esplanade, and a short walk to the town. Parking is good, no problem. Warm welcome when we arrived, felt very personal and nothing was too much trouble. We would definitely book again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Masons Arms; City: Branscombe Devon England; Review: Stayed one night in one of the thatched cottage garden rooms, a delightful spotless clean room with a huge comfy four-poster bed. Bathroom big, clean and modern with bath and separate shower cubicle for luxury. We visited in late November, but there is a lovely little sun terrace in really sweet gardens outside the door you could sit in summer and sip wine! After a bracing walk around Branscombe, and visiting the beach, we ate dinner in the restaurant, very pleased with the meal and one of the best bottles of wine I have had! Breakfast was also really good. Would definitely recommend parking good, staff could not have been more helpful.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Meltemi Village Hotel; City: Perissa Santorini Cyclades South Aegean; Review: Fantastic week in Meltemi Village, 11-19 May 2015. What a wonderful place. Our first visit to Santorini. The hotel is brilliant - set on several levels and buildings, around a beautiful pool, surrounded by comfy sunbeds,some shady under palm trees, some full sun if you're chasing a tan. Short, easy transfer from the airport. On arrival, we were shown to a rather small room along from reception on the left, but asked if we could be moved to a larger one- nothing was too much trouble, within a few minutes we were given a large room overlooking the pool/ outside reception with a small but lovely balcony. If you want a kettle for tea in your room - just ask, they will give you one. The staff are amazing - so incredibly helpful and everyone comments about Roy on reception - she is out of this world, and a mine of information about Santorini! Breakfast was excellent - such a choice - eat as much as you like, everything you could want, including a regular top-up of fried eggs topped with a thin slice of local bacon . Plus, a choice of baked pastries and a delicious honeyed cake, fruits, cheeses meats.... and great coffee. Immediately after breakfast has finished, the poolside bar/cafe is opened ready to serve soft drinks, coffees, cocktails, beers, and hot or cooked food throughout the afternoon. Very good prices, and service excellent. The hotel is spotless, as are the outside and garden areas - a pleasure. The staff could not do more for you. The rooms: great - a fridge in the room that actually works well keeping drinks well chilled. Air conditioning good. Bathroom small, but this was not a problem as perfectly functional and clean. Locality: perfect. short walk down to the beach (5 minutes) where there are several bars and restaurants, shops and the most wonderful view of the azure blue sea.... it is beautiful, breathtaking! We finished every evening of at "Dorian's Pub" across the road from the hotel, really, really nice. Hotel is well placed to get the bus to the rest of the Island. Buses go in and out of the bus station in Fira, so if you want to visit the amazing Oia (a must) take the bus to Fira and change on to the Oia bus. Be warned... buses are all run-down single-decker coaches, and you would not believe how many people they crush on! The conductor passes (squeezes through) for the fare, but all good fun! You shout when it is your stop. Health and safety does not exist! MUST DOs: hire a buggy/quad bike (cheap) and travel the island with the wind in your hair; visit Akrotiri, Oia and Fira - visiting the old harbour by cable car. A memorable holiday.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Lamanai Outpost Lodge; City: Orange Walk Orange Walk District; Review: We just returned from a two week trip to Belize. Our first four nights were spent at Lamanai Outpost Lodge. The trip in via van ride and riverboat was exciting but a little chilly and there were plenty of bugs in the air after sunset which even though it was dark made sunglasses a necessity. The casitas are large enough and ours (#9) had two large beds and a neat private bathroom. The view from our front porch included the beautifully landscaped grounds with the Lagoon in the background. The lodge offers plenty of activities to pick from. My husband and nine year old son did a sunrise canoe/birding expedition and saw several varieties of birds. We took the Lamanai Ruins tour and even though we have seen many other Mayan ruins it is still fascinating to learn about this ancient culture. The Croc Encounter at night is by airboat and is very noisy, but the kids all enjoyed it and they even saw a few crocs. We all swam in the Lagoon and there are plenty of canoes/paddles/lifejackets to be borrowed at any time. The guides are all very friendly and knowledgeable. The girls in the restaurant and George at the bar were fun though the food could never be considered great. Nobody we met looked forward to the meals. We also all considered the Lodge to be pretty expensive for what it was. What they don't tell you is that the Lodge is just down the road from a village called Indian Church that is connected by road to Orange Walk, and is really not a "jungle lodge" at all. All in all we enjoyed the experience, met some wonderful people and had a good time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Amsterdam Escape; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: My girlfriend and I stayed in the Amsterdam Suite for three nights. The suite has one main room with the jukebox (very cool), tv, video games, mini-fridge (stocked with beer, sodas, cookies and candy), a small dresser and a double size Murphy Bed. The large beanbag lounger was the perfect spot to chill out and watch the canal and horse-drawn carriages through the large windows. The view is terrific. The spacious bathroom separates the main room from the bedroom meaning we each had our own space. The walk in shower is a unique touch. The bedroom has one twin bed and a table and two chairs opposite. If we were three people there could have been one more twin bed in the bedroom. The place was clean and fresh. The kitchen/dining area one floor down had a microwave, a stove, dishes, etc, an iron and ironing board, a full size fridge, a cd player with speakers and even a free washer and dryer, soap supplied. There is also a hall bathroom so you don't have to use the stairs to your room. Oh yes, the stairs. Numerous and steep they are, but this is the norm for the type of buildings that most of the hotels in Amsterdam are built in. The place is clean and the staff is friendly and more than willing to help you take your luggage up and down the stairs. They have even provided for your smoking pleasure. You will see what I mean if you are lucky enough to stay with the crew at Amsterdam Escape. The location on the Geldersekade canal is on the edge of the Red Light District very near Nieuwmarkt Square with plenty of restaurants, cafes and coffeeshops, and an outdoor market. We were two women traveling alone and felt completely safe walking around even after midnight. Go and have some fun! ps) I also agree that this is not exactly businessman type of lodging but rather party lodging (which should have been clear from earlier posts).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Canal House; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: We stayed at the Canal House for the last two days of our European vacation. The hotel staff were very helpful in a calm and reserved sort of way. The room was spacious by European standards and the bathroom quaint with a hand held shower head and a large bathtub. Our room had a fabulous raised beam ceiling and a regional view (rooftops). We paid 170 Euro a night which was high, but not outrageous for this gem of a place. I would recommend the hotel for couples as it has a high ambiance factor. I could see having a romantic getaway here though I was with a girlfriend. The other guests we met were mostly Americans, some families. We brought trays with breads, meats, cheeses, cereal, soft boiled eggs and fruit back to our room instead of eating in the pretty breakfast room. Breakfast was included in the price of the room and was beautifully presented and tasty. I would stay at the Canal House again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Lindenwirt; City: Ruedesheim am Rhein Hesse; Review: We arrived in Rudesheim after driving from Rothenburg. It was a nice drive, not long and pretty easy going. Driving along the Rhine as you approach Rudesheim is lovely. The river is wider than we expected and there were plenty of river boats and barges floating along.. The Lindenwirt is off the main street so no view of the Rhine, but this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Because the Lindenwirt is kind of hidden among the back streets the train noise is muffled and we barely noticed it. The train comes through town (along the Rhine - must be a lovely train ride) often and it is very noisy. We sat at a cafe and had drinks and lunch all the while knowing that any minute that train would be rolling through, sure enough, at least twice during lunch. I believe I would have had a hard time sleeping 60 feet from the tracks. Our room was a standard double and we paid 110 Euro, breakfast included. Two beds (the couch arms folded out to create another bedding option, interesting) were a little tired but the room was clean and the bath spotless. A small window looked out over a nice residential area with laundry drying and children playing. The breakfast was typical; meats, cheeses, solf-boiled eggs (yum), yogurt, dried fruits, tomatos, oatmeal, coffee, tea, juices, milk. Plenty of food and good quality. We did see a large boar being brought in for dinner though had other plans that night. Overall, I would say this hotel was neither fabulous nor dismal. It was a satisfactory place to stay and there were plenty of happy people around at breakfast. There is a courtyard to park your car where you will also find their famous "Wine Barrel Rooms". We took a peek in and thought it would be fun (maybe) to stay a night, but boy were they tiny, and I mean tiny.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Castle Liebenstein; City: Kamp Bornhofen Rhineland Palatinate; Review: We arrived in Kamp-Bornhofen after driving north from Rudesheim. The roads are well marked and very easy to drive. There is also frequent train and boat service up and down the Rhine. This section of the Rhine (particularly St. Goar to Bacharach) is loaded with castles, little towns and vineyards, and is so picturesque it is hard to describe. On Mondays the hotel reception was closed until dinner but we were able to locate the restaurant the owners have in town and let them know we had arrived. The driveway up to the castle (there are actualy two, but one is a hotel) is steep and twisty. There are large rocks and ancient looking moss covered trees. At the reception desk we were given our old fashioned key (I loved it) and then wound our way up the stairs to our room. The room was pretty cool (literally and figuratively) which was handy since it was almost 95 degrees outside. The walls are so thick that it gets downright chilly in the night. We were never cold enough to use the space heater provided. The castle has been updated with very modern bathrooms and excellent water pressure. The view from our room was awe inspiring. There, hundreds of feet below, the Rhine, and across, another small town. Fantastic. Just before dusk several goats with their kids bedded down just below our window, it was neat to hear them. The beds were soft and warm and we slept well despite the fact that we were told the creepy vampire-ghost story by the nice gentleman who owns the castle with his family while we ate dinner earlier that evening. This same gentleman and his wife Anita are excellent cooks, by the way, and we both enjoyed his recommendations. Breakfast was included in the room rate (as it was at almost all of our European hotels) and was served in the cheerful dining rooms with your room number proudly displayed. The selections of breads were not as great as in Rudesheim but this is a much smaller town and the cheeses and meats were excellent. I love soft boiled eggs and my friend really enjoyed the coffee (once she found out they had Baileys). The view again from the breakfast room was tremendous. There is not a lot to do in the town, but there are hiking trails and boat rides and just hanging out and exploring the castle and grounds. They do have a very small gift shop on the premises. They prefer cash at check out (10% discount offered but I payed by credit) and we had to pay cash for dinner so remember to arrive with Euros. They did not take US dollars at any restaurant that we visited in Kamp-Bornhofen or Rudesheim and some woldn't take credit cards either. We were told that this was due to the fact that the World Cup was happening at the same time - fraud etc. Be warned and know where the nearest ATM is or ask what methods of payment are allowed when you; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel de Emauspoort; City: Delft South Holland Province; Review: Spent three nights at this quaint and well run little place in early June, 2006. We came for the shopping and found that we loved the town so much we stayed an extra night. The rooms surround a courtyard that has a couple of brightly decorated and well furnished gypsy caravans that are also for rent by the night. Our room had two single beds and a nice, modern bathroom. You simply cannot get away from twisty narrow staircases in the Netherlands and our room was at the top of one long, and one short set of stairs. The room had a lot of charm and was spotlessly clean. We did not have breakfast at the hotel, though it was included in the 90 Euro a night price. The main town square is just across the street and the view from the giant church tower is worth the very long, spiral, narrow staircase climb, in my opinion (see-more stairs). There are many good restaurants and some bad ones. Eat where there are a lot of locals and you will be just fine. Shopping in Delft is pretty fantastic. There are a lot of pottery shops and they vary in quality. Find what you like and buy it. You will never forgive yourself if you don't. The workmanship is astounding. You can watch the artists painting the beautiful colors (not only blue on white) by hand in various stages. There are Coffeeshops here but you have to look hard for them (or ask). Delft is like a mini-Amsterdam. It was beautiful and way less crowded than the 'Dam when we were there. There was a market every day around the corner. Buy cheeses, bread and fruit and have a pik-nik canalside. Fabulous!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Playa Azul Golf Scuba Spa Hotel; City: Cozumel Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Our family of three stayed for twelve nights at Playa Azul for the first part of our Christmas vacation. We had room number 316 which is a corner room on the top floor of the older wing (no elevator, fyi). The room had a large bedroom with a king sized bed, huge closets with a safe, and two couches that served as beds (not sofa beds) in the livingroom. The bathroom was large (we had great water pressure) and there was also a sink area in the hallway which made getting all of us ready to go at once a snap. Our balcony was private and the view was amazing. The hotel staff was very nice and we got to know them all pretty well. Breakfast was included in the price of the room and is served in the open air restaurant overlooking the beach. There is internet access (buy a card at the front desk ) and both a shuffleboard and pool table (game supplies kept at the front desk). This is a small hotel and the fact that some people do not control their children is not the hotel's fault but the staff responded everytime we brought the disturbances to their attention. Long story short: in the room next to us were two nannys with six young children whose parents were on the other side of the hotel, enough said. The lanai did get soaked when it rained though the rains were short. The mosquitos are nasty, watch out for sunset - that is when they start coming out. We were lucky to have Buzz Off brand clothing and kept our ankles and feet covered when outside around grass at night. The beach took a real beating in the storm and a lot of the sand disappeared. The snorkeling is fine directly in front of the hotel but the access is a little tough in spots. My son and I got certified with Pro Dive Mexico (Olivier and Jim are great) . The pool sessions were tough as the water is so cold compared to the ocean. We would certainly stay at Playa Azul again, the damage surrounding the hotel from the last big storm is unfortunate, but takes nothing away from the great atmosphere of Playa Azul. The lobster places across the street do not take credit cards but have the Spaghetti with Shrimp - it is fantastic. You can also rent cars and scooters across the street for a fun and easy drive around the island. Have fun!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Aura del Mar Hotel; City: Zihuatanejo Zihuatanejo de Azueta Pacific Coast; Review: Hotel Brisas del Mar was the perfect place for our first vacation without our son in nine years. Situated above Madera Beach (many stairs) with a commanding view of the bay, the hotel was exactly what we needed. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable, the bathroom roomy enough for two to get ready at once and the balcony with the jacuzzi tub was quite romantic. The onsite restaurant served great food and the sashimi was especially tasty. We walked down the hill to Casa de Cafe and had fantastic inexpensive breakfasts and nice conversation. There is a great walkway down the beach along the water that will put you in the heart of shopping and restaurants in less than 10 minutes. Our favorite restaurants in order were: Porto di Mare(everything we tried was fantastic) , La Sirena Gorda (best lobster tacos ever) and Banditos (try the roasted stuffed poblanos - perfection). The weather was very hot and humid (typical for October) but a dip in the ocean took the edge off. Couldn't imagine having a more perfect vacation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort Spa; City: Poipu Kauai Hawaii; Review: We drove to the Grand Hyatt yesterday to eat lunch. I can not express how disappointed we all were with the service, food and the overall attitude of the staff in their Stevenson's Library eatery. We waited 15 minutes for anyone to acknowledge that we were seated, then ordered our drinks and food. Our son ordered "Chips and Dips" as an appetizer and we ordered two cheeseburgers and a turkey club panini sandwich. There we sat again for 10 to 15 minutes waiting for drinks (not a terrible amount of time). The drinks arrived and we waited, and waited for the pupus (chip and dip appetizer). The place was not crowded as it was 2pm yet still we waited, over half and hour for our food. Everything was then delivered at the same time, the appetizers and all. Get this - plastic silverware! I can't believe that the Hyatt is doing this. Not only is it plastic, it is wrapped up in plastic (not very earth friendly) - and I expect to get real silverware in an indoor restaurant at an establishment like the Hyatt where I am paying $14 for a mixed drink. The food was all luke warm and my panini was soggy. I will say that had the food been hot, the prices for the cheeseburgers and panini were not out of line at $10-12 each. We are Hyatt Gold members and stay at their hotels on a regular basis. We never expected this meal would turn out to be the worst of our vacation. I would have posted this under the Restaurant part of TA, had Stevenson's Library been listed.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Colony Inn; City: Palmer Alaska; Review: My husband and I stay here when in town to watch our son's high school football games (once a year). I have just a couple of things to add as most of the reviews here are spot on. Check-in is never a pleasant experience. Never have we been smiled at or had the normal hotel "welcome" chatter. This is however, a rustic, charming inn. It was built in the late 1930's as a boarding house. The floors creak and often there are people who seem oblivious to their noise level - this can happen anywhere. The lack of black-out drapes has always baffled me. Within walking distance the Farmers Market near the railroad tracks is a fun thing to do. I don't know what days/hours they are open but they were open Friday afternoon when we checked in. There is also a visitor's center with a lovely garden (the plants are tagged with their names) . As others have said, Palmer has beautiful mountains and lovely scenery when the weather cooperates.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hatcher Pass Bed Breakfast; City: Palmer Alaska; Review: It is hard to add anything to the previous reviews. We loved the cabin (Sourdough #1) and were not at all bothered by the minimal traffic on the road or gas station across said road. Breakfast was fun to do on your own (what a great idea) and there was a nice variety of food and generous portions. Amorita (the Lab) is very friendly and is controlled by a wireless device so she is not allowed to come near the cabins. You must go to her if you want to play. I wish we would have had the time to take the 12 mile drive up to the mine. Liz (the owner) told us all about the lovely river and hiking trails. We will absolutely stay here in the future as we drive to the Palmer area for high school football games a couple of times each fall. Thanks Liz!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Denver Parker E470 Parker Road; City: Parker Colorado; Review: We stayed three nights in a two queen bedded suite. The room, bathroom and all sheets and towels were very clean and new looking. It was nice having a small fridge with a freezer and a microwave since our son was attending a local football camp and was hungry and thirsty all of the time. Speaking of the football camp - the hotel restaurant opened up early so all of the kids could eat breakfast before camp started everyday. It was nice to know they cared about their guests. There is a nice restaurant in the hotel and it was great having the Red Robin burger joint and the Saltgrass Steakhouse (which turned out to be a real hit with the boys) just across the parking lot. Parker is a nice little rural town and we felt right at home here.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

When I opened mine, I found that although the image showed a lacy top and a pink bow, the socks themselves were like plain white socks with white bows (rather than pink) at the top. It sounds like a lot of people had similar experiences, but in my case at least, the socks WERE just labelled "white," so I should have guessed! In that respect, the styles with free returns might be the best bet, in case you're torn between two, because you might not get what you think you're getting Otherwise, things to consider: --They're mostly opaque, but thin, so some skin will show through (more than in the pictures, depending on your skin tone) --The band at the top IS tight (it stretches rather less than the rest of the sock) so it has the potential to create bulging appearances or be uncomfortable, but (I'm hoping) also means that they'll stay up better than a lot of cheap socks. --These are SOOOO soft.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: elope Alice Wig With Headband; Brand: elope; Review: Maybe it's just that I'm used to having short hair, but the size of this wig seemed rather unnatural. It's very long, but also very thick, which means that the top of the hair sits about two inches above the scalp (making my head, at least, look super large). The headband helps though! The hair itself is lovely, a bit frizzy in places but gorgeous glistening curls that I wish existed in real life-- it's like owning your own shampoo ad! Just be aware of the possibility that when wearing this wig you might look like your head is being eaten by amazing hair.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Bslingerie Womens Floral Trim Fashion Bustier Corset Lingerie; Brand: Bslingerie; Review: I bought this thinking that the color scheme would be great with my Alice in Wonderland burlesque costume. It's certainly lovely-- I really like the subtlety of the design-- but unfortunately even adjusting it wouldn't make it fit my boobs correctly. For reference, my measurements are 34-28-38, and it fit the rest quite well (perhaps a little tight on the waist, but that's to be expected, and mostly a result of my attempts to adjust it for better fit on my boobs) but, unfortunately, it's not the corset for my C-cup. I'm sure it would make bigger boobs look phenomenal, though!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rasta Imposta Unicorn Hoodie; Brand: Rasta Imposta; Review: Exactly the hoodie I was looking for! I spent the winter in a scratchy college hoodie for a school I didn't even attend, and when it finally bit the dust (are hoodie sleeves supposed to fall off? Because apparently, they can) I got desperate. I needed a hoodie that would arrive quickly, keep me warm, and keep me looking awesome, preferably for under $20. And voila! As I searched for a dragon onesie (still looking, as a sidenote-- help me out?) this magical creature appeared in its stead. At first I was worried that it would be too thin, cheaply made, or huge, but it fit exactly as hoodies are meant to (baggy, but form fitting-- pretty true to size, though to be clear the small isn't "small" per se, given that I found it a perfect fit and am 5'8" and around 125 lbs), has a soft fleecy lining to make it perfect hoodie thickness, and let's be honest, when you're this whimsical you don't have to worry much about those things anyway. My only concerns: 1. If you have poor posture like me, this is just going to make it worse when the hood is down. It's impossible to sit all the way back with a horn and mane pushing your shoulders forward! Just all the more reason to keep the hood up at all times, of course. 2. People WILL notice you're wearing a unicorn hoodie. Even though it's plain on the front, not such a great fashion choice for fancy restaurants or looking like a real adult when making first impressions. 3. This does feel like it has a little less "give" than the average garment. Maybe this will change after a few washes? But on that note... 4. The tag says "do not wash." To be clear, I HAVE washed it, but I'm bracing myself for the fallout of this irresponsible decision. To be updated if something goes horribly wrong. 5. I'm assuming that the horn is eventually going to bend irreparably. I suppose I'll just have to learn to love my curves.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shymay Women's Ideal Garter Belt High Waisted Lace Suspender Belt-3 Pack; Brand: Shymay; Review: I love the bra-style clasp! So often with garters, you find that they're too wide or way too tight, and when you're actually trying to attach them to stockings (not always the easiest job, with those hellish clips) every inch they ride up or down matters. Unlike a lot of garters on amazon, these actually have the potential to keep your stockings from sagging, which is actually saying something. They are thin and seem fragile (so I very much doubt they'd work for all body types-- I'm lucky because "one size fits all" tends to actually fit me, at 5'8" and 125 lbs) but that actually does improve the fit and appearance, on those of us who can wear them. My one complaint? Personally, I don't find them that pretty. The picture is true to life, so it's easy to make an informed decision, but I'd much prefer a solid strip than the four separate sections of lace triangles that make up this belt. They're "all straps," like other reviewers mention, so make your choice accordingly...and remember that, if you're untidy like me, you might end up all twisted up, but THAT'S OKAY, because you'll be covered in lace when you do it :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: 3Pack Women Over Knee High Lengthen Cotton Knit Crochet Stockings Red Coffee Gray; Brand: MarJunSep; Review: I'm never going to complain about a variety pack of long socks! For the price, this is exactly what I was looking for-- three different colors of cute socks (so that I can match them with anything, though I'll admit I'd have preferred basically any other color to the brown-- does anyone wear long brown socks besides girl scouts?) that all reach to about knee level. They're also super warm, making them a great complement to an early spring outfit when you want to wear a skirt but it's just a tad nippy. And have I mentioned that they match basically anything? My one complaint is actually the height, but that's more a personal problem than an issue with the socks. I was really hoping for thigh highs here (I always am, but at 5'8" and 125 I've yet to find a pair that actually reach that high) and was a little disappointed to find that these are barely knee level for me. They definitely reach up high enough at first, but as soon as I start walking, they slouch more and more and finally...well, mid-shin level socks are cute too. These do look nice as leg warmers! This probably isn't a major surprise though-- I think these would be perfect with someone a bit shorter than I am, and even then we can't really expect our socks to stay constantly knee-high without killer elastic or a garter. And hey, if these reach high enough on you, that's totally an option!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: SlickBlue Women's Footless Galaxy Space Star Print Yoga Leggings Pants Tights; Brand: SlickBlue; Review: I adore these pants more than I can possibly express. I was in love with the pattern from the moment I saw them, but they're actually even more stunning in person. Great with a black crop top and boots! I feel like I'm about to join the circus whenever I wear them, which makes them perfect for costume events. That said, they're not completely ideal for day to day wear, just because they are pretty whimsical and tough to match with anything but boots, but I just see that as a challenge. Well made (for cheap leggings), not transparent (though I do recommend underwear, since all leggings stretch a little when you bend enough) and a great design. Perfect! Note: I'm 5'8" and around 130 pounds, and these fit exactly as I'd want them to. I can't attest to how these would fit anyone larger or smaller, but they do seem like they would be too long for anyone under 5'2" and may not be comfortable for certain body types.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Souarts Antique Bronze Color Hollow Heart Shape Pocket Watch; Brand: Souarts; Review: Everything I was looking for! Honestly MUCH bigger than expected--about twice the size of a normal locket-, maybe two inches across when I was expecting one-which makes it a bit bulky to wear as a normal necklace, but the chain is long enough that it doesn't seem like that's the intent anyway. I wear this as a belt, and it works perfectly! Great for telling time when you're cell phone free, if you're like me and hate wrist watches. Pro-tip: if you are wearing this around your neck, note that there are potential short edges! Run your fingers along the chain and sand down or paint clear nail polish over any sharp parts you find before wearing. Your neck will thank you!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: iNewbetter Sleepsuit Costume Cosplay Homewear Lounge Wear Kigurumi Onesie Pajamas ,Owl ,L (170-178cm); Brand: Newbetter; Review: Huge obviously, but that's the point! This onesie has everything I could have asked for: pockets, a butt zipper, a hood...and wings! Super cute, super soft, and super fun. I will say that it doesn't hold up as well as I would have hoped--the butt zipper is falling off a bit after only ten wears or so, and I don't even use it--but my wear might not be entirely standard, so I can't fault the creators (I wear it to keep warm at festivals, so I guess most people don't dance in their onesies!). Do beware that you can and WILL be mistaken for a giant blue Totoro, but hey, who would mind that?; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alaroo Girls Stretchy Fish Scale Mermaid Print Flared Skater Mini Skirt S-XL; Brand: Alaroo; Review: This is my new favorite piece of clothing. I feel cute and unique every time I wear it, and the black outlines of the scales means that it matches everything! So cute with a plain black top, or easy to dress up with an all-out mermaid costume (which is what I bought it for). It's also a good length, making it cute and potentially sexy, but not too revealing if that's not your thing. My one concern is that the waistband runs tighter than expected, which means that the skirt rides up more than I'd anticipate. Personally, if I pull it up to my natural waist, it's exactly the right size and length and looks super cute! But if you were hoping to wear it lower, perhaps size up. This skirt is the same material as the mermaid scale leggings out there (basically, I think all mermaid prints are the same material right now, haha) so it's slick and shiny and quite nice to touch. It twirls super nicely! Could definitely get warm and sticky on a hot day, though. It's great for the price, but BECAUSE of that low price, be careful when washing it--I'm anticipating it might fade or get damaged pretty quickly in a washing machine, and that would be a bummer. That said, JUST BUY IT ALREADY! You'll love it as much as I do.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blidece Sexy Women Army Camouflage Fashion Corset, Halloween Costume; Brand: Blidece; Review: I love this corset so much: a cute style and a great fit. Definitely not expensive or high quality, but great for anyone who's just looking to dress up or feel fancy. That said, I'm a small boobed person, and still found that I had trouble fitting in! The zipper makes it super tough to put the corset on without feeling like it's on the verge of breaking--I think that's why most have clasps or lacing. The end result is fantastic cleavage, but still, consider sizing up!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Thank you Sherry for allowing us into your beautiful home. Fantastic B &B, very warm welcome with tea and cake on arrival, in the conservatory, with amazing views. We could not fault our stay, and will definitely be back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tambopata Research Center; City: Tambopata National Reserve Madre de Dios Region; Review: Pre-trip admin was very good. Extremely helpful staff. The transfer from Puerto Maldanado airport to the river was very good. Our first overnight was at Refugio Amazonas, which was a beautiful lodge, with ensuite facilities. Lectures are worth going to - very informative! Evening trip along the river to see the Cayman, and managed to see a very rare dwarf Cayman. Early start the next morning to climb the canopy tower at dawn, with amazing views over the rainforest as the sun rose. We then travelled along the river to Tambopata Research Centre. Again a great lodge, separate showers and toilets, but very clean . Luiz our guide, looked after us from meeting us at the airport, sitting with us at all meals, and taking us out on different trips each day. His English and knowledge was excellent. We were extremely lucky to see Jaguar, very rare giant river otter, capybara , Cayman, hundreds of macaw at the clay licks, tarantula , howler monkeys, sloth, and much much more. Overall an excellent trip, definitely ticked all the boxes, and I would highly recommend this trip.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Centrella Inn; City: Pacific Grove Monterey County California; Review: We had an overnight stay at Centrella Inn, and had a very warm and friendly welcome from the manager.

Title: Travelodge by Wyndham Presidio San Francisco; City: San Francisco California; Review: We stayed at the Presidio for three nights, as a break in our road trip around California. We were greeted by Raymond , who was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He is the best thing about this hotel. We were disappointed with how dated the hotel was, especially after reading that they have recently been re-modelled. The hotel was clean but very dated. Breakfast was poor, with not even toast or bread on offer but bowls of butter and jams were on the tables. When the manager was asked about bread, he said they might get some in the next day or so?! Raymond helped us to navigate around this lovely city and all his advise was extremely useful. Thank you Raymond!; Rating: 3.0/5.0

The rooms were well equipped and clean. Reception staff were extremely helpful. We decided to treat ourselves to High Tea on our first day.

Title: Mountain Chalet Motels; City: Twizel Mackenzie District Canterbury Region South Island; Review: We booked this motel a year ago and thought we would be well looked after. We were extremely disappointed to be allocated a chalet with a view, not over lovely gardens or mountains, but of a double garage and dustbin! We checked in early and hoped to get a change of chalet, but no such luck. We were told that we had actually received an upgrade of room, over what we had booked, but we hadn't requested an upgrade, just a nicer view., The chalet itself was clean and adequately equipped. Good location for both Mount Cook and Lake Tekapo.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Shown to our rooms, then spent time over a cuppa and fresh cookies, being advised on places to visit. The rooms were beautiful, very tastefully furnished and had everything we needed for a short break. Added advantage of a cinema room for guests to use if the weather is bad, or you just want to relax. Fabulous breakfast served in the elegant dining area. Thank you for looking after us so well. We would definitely recommend to fellow travellers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
