I hate checking bags when I fly so this was a good investment ($47 is what I paid for the black version). The bag wheels roll smoothly, the handle is big enough and long enough to hold/roll comfortably (I'm 6'3"). On the lid there are two compartments on the outside and one big mesh one on the inside. There are two elastic straps on the inside of the main compartment for holding your stuff tightly. The retractable handle has a zipper cover as well. I have been handling it and the construction feels sturdy and the zippers gave me no problems (although they feel a little stiff around corners). The reason I gave it 4 stars is that I have one concern about the dimensions of this bag. From front to back it's just under 9 inches (that's good, it has a little room for fill). From side to side it's 13.5 inches (not 14) from my measure -- again, that's fine, leaves a little room for bloat. From top to bottom when standing the bag is closer to 25 inches, not 22! This takes into consideration the standing height (including on it's wheels). Is there a chance it might not be accepted as a carry-on? Possibly, but doubt it. Overall, I would recommend this bag. I'll update with a comment if I have any problems flying later!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Timbuk2 Classic 2013 Messenger Bag; Brand: Timbuk2; Review: This bag is really nicely put together, it's stylish, good color combinations (I got the Gunmetal/Lt. Grey/Gunmetal one). The inside area is huge, lots of space for stuff (and I got the medium version), but I have one complaint... The shoulder strap is REALLY small. I mean, it hangs under my arm like a purse, not down to my side like a messenger bag should. I'm 6'3" so it just doesn't hang on me right. I've had so many other bags before and this is the first time I've seen a messenger bag with the shoulder strap this small even when fully extended. Unfortunately, I may have to return this item... Just doesn't look right on me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hanes Men's Full-Zip EcoSmart Fleece Hoodie; Brand: ; Review: I'm 6'2" about 195lbs, I took others advice and got the extra large. The length is shorter than expected, but the width... I could easily fit inside the hoodie twice. This hoodie is not made for taller, skinnier people at all...; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Mooncolour Mens Novelty Color Block Hoodies Cozy Sport Outwear; Brand: Mooncolour; Review: I'm 6'2" about 195lbs, so I took suggestions in other reviews and got the XL. The length is nice and goes to my pants pockets when I'm standing. The downside is I'm absolutely swimming in its width. The image shows a more fitted hoodie but now that I look again it's clearly pinched in the back to make it look that way. It's big enough to be cozy, but big enough to look bulky and awkward sometimes. Also the fabric is really fine, hard to describe, but if you have rough skin (like dry hands for example) and it runs over the fabric it feels like it's snagging (hope that makes sense).; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Ohoo Mens Slim Fit Long Sleeve Lightweight Zip-up Hoodie with Kanga Pocket; Brand: Ohoo; Review: I really like this hoodie, I am 6'2" and around 195lbs, I got the large. It fits well, length and width. I'm not swimming in it, and it isn't tight as a girdle, fits just right. It's thin but does well at keeping warm in mild cold. Comfy and the fit looks right and feels right. The only reason I took a star of was because the loose threads that are popping out as I wash. Nothing is coming apart (yet) and they're easy enough to trim with a fine scissor but it isn't presenting a problem for the time being.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: Quality Inn Suites Medical Park; City: Durham North Carolina; Review: Urgently found a room here after Airbnb accommodation cancelled on us while we were in the air en route to destination. Paid just under US$80 per night. Location is good. Just 7 minutes away from Duke University East Campus. A couple of fast food joints nearby. There is a nice Cracker Barrel restaurant just next door. We ate there a couple of times and also bought some gifts from their store. The room is simply furnished. Not enough power points. The toilet facilities look very old. The hot / cold water control does not seem to work. The place looks very dated and definitely in need of a major renovation. The food choices at breakfast are limited. The choice of styrofoam plates was terrible as they melted when toasted bagels were placed on them. We were shocked but nobody else seem to care, or maybe they did not realise. In conclusion, good for travellers on a budget for a convenient location. Maybe not so good for families on holidays. You get what you pay for.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Mahoroba; City: Noboribetsu Hokkaido; Review: We booked this hotel to try the onsen and the famous seafood and it did not disappoint. Hokkaido crabs and melons are not cheap, so it was great to be able to eat as much as you can at their dinner buffet. There are public baths (onsens) on B1 and B2, one for males and the other for females. They alternate at different times. We are not used to going naked in public but this is the rule in the onsens. See attached photo of instructions. Quite an experience. Should try.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Boat Lagoon Resort Phuket; City: Koh Kaew Phuket Town Phuket; Review: I have stayed in this hotel many times as my daughter used to study at the British International School (BIS) on the other side of the road (Highway 402). It is a convenient location for those visiting the east side especially this school, surrounding areas or even old Phuket Town. You need transport to get to most places and taxi fares can be expensive. It's 30 mins drive from the airport via highway 402. We normally pick & return the rental car at the airport. Driving in Phuket is not difficult. The rooms facing the Marina have very nice views. The free wifi at the main hotel building is spotty and is almost non-existent at the marina side. You are better off buying a Thai SIM card from the airport or convenience store. The rooms used to be quite old but many rooms have now been renovated. Hotel food is below average. You are better off eating at one of the several restaurants within and just outside the hotel. There is a newly opened supermarket just outside the hotel. Over the years, there seems more and more tourists (appears to be from PRC) coming by the bus loads to this hotel. For those visiting the beaches, hotels on the west side will be more suitable.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Premier Hotel TSUBAKI Sapporo; City: Toyohira Sapporo Hokkaido; Review: Stayed at this hotel at Sapporo. Location is quite convenient if you drive. Parking is ¥600 per day. Nearest train station is some distance away but there is a free shuttle bus. There is a river beside the hotel and there is a jogging / cycling track beside the river. Managed to put in a few morning jogs. Nearest supermarket is some distance away. You need to drive or take the shuttle bus. Our room was a huge European Style Family Room. Two connected rooms (no door in between) with 4 beds. Separate wardrobes but unfortunately only one toilet. One unique feature of this hotel. There is piped music to the rooms and toilet. I originally thought the control knob on the wall was for the aircon.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: SpringHill Suites Durham Chapel Hill; City: Durham North Carolina; Review: We booked this hotel for a few nights on an urgent basis while in transit in London, after our Airbnb suddenly cancelled on us while we were in flight. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The hotel is relatively new. The room was spacious and clean. I was particularly impressed by the several USB ports by the bedside. The gym was decent. Breakfast was not too bad. My only complaint is that there is only one washer and one dryer. So, if someone is using, you have to wait for another 45 mins or so. And this place is a bit far from Duke University, where my daughter studies. Takes about 25 mins drive to get to the university. It is also kind of out of the way. But there is a Walmart nearby.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Shinagawa Prince Hotel Tokyo; City: Takanawa Minato Tokyo Tokyo Prefecture Kanto; Review: I have stayed in this hotel about 3 to 4 times. Fantastic location. Right across Shinagawa Train Station, a hub which serves many lines, including the all important Yamanote Line. You can go almost anywhere from here by train. If this is your first visit to Tokyo, this hotel is highly recommended. There are plenty of food options here including a McDonald's just at the junction. Or you can buy some food from the supermarket just outside the train station. It opens till late. There is a regular airport bus to/from Narita Airport. If you are traveling via Haneda Airport, do note that the airport bus goes there only like 3 times a day. When booking seats on the airport bus, please make sure the hotel books you on the correct bus. We were placed on the bus to Narita. I found the traveling time too long and upon investigation found out the hotel's mistake. In the end, we took a taxi. Although taxis are expensive in Japan, the taxi fare from this hotel to Haneda was not expensive as the distance is short.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: The University Inn; City: Durham North Carolina; Review: Booked this place for last minute trip to Duke University. In terms of overall comfort, this place is somewhat in between my previous stays at SpringHill Suites Marriot (nicer) and Quality Inn & Suites Medical Park (in need of renovation). The price is also in between, just above US$100 a night. Location is great if you are visiting Duke University. It’s located near The Central Campus and just under 10 mins away by car from both East & West Campus. Free parking in hotel. The hotel provides free transport to and back from places within 3 miles, from 7 am to 9 pm, and that covers both East & West Campuses. Great for those who do not drive. It’s just under 30 mins by car (or Uber) from the airport. The rooms are big and clean. I took a suite. Two double beds, one sofa bed, one reclining leather chair, table, TV console, kitchen counter with fridge and microwave. An electric kettle (not supplied) would be useful. Don’t like the lighting. Only from table lamps. But this may be an American practice. Bathroom is clean. Toiletries provided. Aircon / heater is good. Not noisy. Although we turned it off. Enough power points in the room. With 2 USB ports provided. Wifi signal very good. Easy to connect. No issues. Breakfast is served 6 am to 10.30 am. The selection is really very poor, the worst I have seen in a US hotel. The same every day: Cereals and 3 types of mini pastries (not very nice). Apples & bananas (many days there are no bananas). Yogurt, Orange juice. Coffee (not nice) & Tea available 24 hours. If breakfast is important to you, this may be a deal breaker. For us, we gave up after few days. Just bought food from supermarket. But otherwise, in terms of location and comfort, this place is great.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Holiday Inn Express Bangkok Siam; City: Bangkok; Review: If you are looking for a nice hotel in the centre of Bangkok, this is it. From airport, you can take the skytrain to National Stadium BTS Station which is just outside the hotel. You will need to change trains halfway. A more convenient (if you have luggage) and faster option would be to take private hire vehicle. Download the Grab (they bought over Uber) app. Make sure you message the driver to tell them your location at the airport e.g. Entrance 7. My Grab ride from airport to hotel cost THB 408. The hotel itself is pleasantly furnished, as you would expect from a Holiday Inn Express hotel. There is good free WiFi, which is very important these days! The hotel breakfast is pretty nice. But if you are into junk food, there is always McDonald’s on the ground floor. The hotel is within walking distance from many major shopping malls such as MBK, Siam Paragon, Central World, Platinum and Siam Discovery. You can take the Skywalk, which is an elevated pedestrian walkway built below the skytrain tracks. Very safe, convenient and pleasant. I took the skywalk all the way to the Erawan Shrine. But of course, you can always take the skytrain to places further away such as Chatuchak Weekend Market. There is a small gym. There is no pool. I crossed the road to the National Stadium. Too bad I could not access the main stadium but I managed to put in some runs around the secondary track next to it. There is supposed to be a self-service laundry facility but I did not use it. There is a convenience store few doors away from the hotel where you can stock up on drinking water etc. This will definitely be one of my top choices should I visit Bangkok again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Andaz Singapore a concept by Hyatt; City: Singapore; Review: This hotel is situated in the Bugis & Kampong Glam area. It is also near Little India and Marina Bay / Suntec City & Central Business District. If you don’t want to stay in the usual shopping area of Orchard Road, this hotel can be considered. This area is full of cultural districts, with their intimate shophouse-filled alleyways and atmospheric colours, textures In the heart of Singapore. The hotel is near an MRT stattion with a direct underpass connection to Bugis MRT station. The rooms are reasonably spacious with good city views from levels 26 and up. There is free WiFi, non-alcoholic minibar, all-day refreshments at Sunroom and Andaz Lounge Hour, which offers wines & beers for two hours in the evening. One of the best rooftop hotel Swimming pools in Singapore can be found at Andaz, with infinity views ove Marina Bay and the Singapore skyline. A bit disappointing that there is no fee parking for guests. But there is per entry parking for guests.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Citadines Trafalgar Square London; City: London England; Review: We stayed here for 2 nights, went to Citadines Montmartre, Paris for 4 nights, before returning for another 4 nights. Location is excellent. Short walking distance to Embankment Station and several places including Chinatown. We even took a 40 min walk to London Bridge. Great walk. The staff were all very polite and pleasant. Especially almost all the front office staff. However we had an unpleasant experience on the morning of Thursday 3 Jan 2019 at the breakfast area. Our room includes breakfast for 3 of us. But in that morning, my daughter was unwell so she did not come down for breakfast. She asked us to help bring up for her a paper cup of oats and an apple. We could have just done so. But out of courtesy, we asked the Caucasian lady (not the black lady) in charge on that morning. To our shock, she disallowed us from doing so, even though I told her my Daughter was unwell. She was haughty. Her action unreasonable. Come on, this is a serviced apartment. There is a kitchen in the room, for goodness sake. My Daughter was entitled to breakfast. And moreover, on some days, we did not even take our breakfast as we had to go off early but the hotel breakfast is only ready at 7 am. For this reason alone, I gave 4 instead of 5 stars. Note to readers: Don’t ask. Just bring food up if you need to. Courtesy does not pay, sometimes. Suggestion for improvement: the clothes heater time should be set longer. Or allow us to put in coins for longer drying period. My clothes were not completely dry. I faced the same problem in Citadines Montmartre. And just to be clear, I put in half load for heating only, thinking it will help. It did not.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Citadines Montmartre Paris; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: We came over from Citadines Trafalgar Square London, stayed here 4 nights before returning to Citadines Trafalgar Square. So the comparison is there Location wise, this is really good. It is within walking distance to many many small streets around the area with very interesting food! The famous Moulin Rouge is also just round the corner. Two metro stations are also nearby. You can take them to many places. We took them to Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Arc de Triomphe etc Spoiler: further past the Moulin Rouge, is the red light district with many sex shops. And the hotel is adjacent to a cemetery albeit a historical one. My room window actually faced it. We had the curtains drawn all the time. May be an issue for some. The biggest letdown is the service. The front desk staff do not greet or smile when you enter. After a few times trying to greet them with no proper answer back, I gave up. Even though we do not expect room cleaning every day, you would think they would at least bring clean towels to your room. No, you have to bring your dirty towels to the front desk, hand them over the desk and get new ones in exchange. Yup, in front of guests checking in/out. Oh, toilet paper and litter bin bags to be collected the same way. No tissue paper provided at all. If service standards do not improve, I think the place will be more like a hostel.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

The Park Hotel Kenmare is one that does! It’s not too modern, but that doesn’t matter. It had everything for a great retreat. Magnificent views, excellent spa facilities, golf course next door, the town of Kenmare just out the front door. But most special is the dining-both casual and formal. Well worth a stay on any visit to Ireland.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Park House Hotel; City: Galway County Galway Western Ireland; Review: Galway is a must visit town on any trip to Ireland. It is a city full of charm which makes this hotel seem so bland. The service is great with friendly helpful staff. However the hotel is characterless. No reason not to stay but just expect, bland!; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with products as follows: Title: Lightweights Reflector Tape; Brand: Lightweights; Review: My bike looks like a flying saucer at night now. Lit up baby! I live and bike in the frigid north lands of Utah. It is dark for for 20 hours a day so being seen on my bike is a huge safety issue. I put pieces of this tennis ball colored tape all over my bike and helmet. Bring on the 80's color scheme 100 inches was more than enough. I still have about 10-15in left. I only wish I had a unicycle so I could deck it out as well. 2 months of wet winter riding and so far all of the tape is holding strong.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Aluminum Cycle Pro Mechanic Bicycle Repair Stand Rack Bike; Brand: CyclingDeal; Review: This stand works for the price, but a lot of crucial components are made of plastic and easy to break cast aluminum. The clamp is a terrible design for my standard round steel tubing. I have to unscrew the latch by hand while holding onto the bike in order for the clamp to open up enough. It is stable enough so working on my bike has been fine. I also like the way it folds down for storage. Over all I wish It was made of better parts. You get what you pay for.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Origin8 Pro Uno-S Saddle; Brand: Origin8; Review: PROS: Price cant be beat for a new saddle that doesn't look like a couch cushion. Brown Faux Leather actually looks Pretty good. Great Color. Low Profile looks great on my bike. CONS: Most important, feels like sitting on a brick. faux leather is attached to underside of saddle with a few small staples, one of which was done too close to the edge if material and has ripped out.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: TOPCABIN Bicycle Grips,Double Lock on Locking Bicycle Handlebar Grips Rubber Comfortable Bike Grips for Bicycle Mountain BMX; Brand: TOPCABIN; Review: Comparable to grips at bike shops that cost twice as much. The clamps really keep the grips locked in place. Thin Rubber, so not much shock absorption. Wear padded bike gloves...; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: MICHELIN Airstop Cyclocross Tube; Brand: MICHELIN; Review: These tubes are a god send! I used to pump up my tires every 5-7 days, now it's more like every 2-3 weeks. Keeps pressure like no other tubes I've ever used. If they're heavier than other tubes, I don't notice a difference.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Morakniv Craftline TopQ Allround Fixed Blade Utility Knife with Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade, 4.1-Inch; Brand: Morakniv; Review: It's a Mora Knife. If you haven't experienced one before, don't hesitate to drop less than $20 on such an amazing knife. The blade comes RAZOR sharp so be careful when handling it. These knives cut through wood like butter so I like to use them for wood whittling. One thing to note, these blades are a high carbon steel so they easily take a sharp edge, this also make for a more brittle blade. It's very easy to chip the blade or break the tip if you're really rough with the knife or using it like a hatchet, screw driver, pry bar, etc.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Marksman Classic II Slingshot; Brand: Marksman; Review: No frills, comfortable, sturdy. What more could I ask for? This slingshot is perfectly compact and great for tossing in my day bag for an on the spot bit of target slinging. My only complaint is that it didn't come with a proper scope mount...; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Xtreme Bright Ultra Torch LED Bike Light Set; Powerful, Durable 250 Lumen Combination Bike Headlight; Brand: Xtreme Bright; Review: This light set gets 4 stars from me just based on what you get for the price. Is it perfect? No, but you're still receiving an incredible amount of value for the price paid. Cons first: No included batteries for the main light? Why provide two working lights out of the box and one without batteries? In this modern tech age, "Batteries not included" seems like a saying of the past... Plastic construction with a minimal amount of water protection, time will only tell how long these hold up on my bike. Pros: Sturdy handlebar mount with multiple grip adapters to insure this fits most if not all handlebar setups. It is also easy to point and position the light while riding. The light output is just the right amount for my neighborhood jaunts. The option to dim the light is a nice option for when you just want to be seen but also help your batteries last as long as possible. The blinking option is intense enough that there's no way a driver could miss you coming up the road, I only hope it just doesn't induce any seizures... As for the for little red tail lights, I didn't need them but its always handy to have spares or to be able to deck yourself out like a UFO for optimum visibility. I threw one on my bar crawl bike and the other on my rear axle. Blink blink baby!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: BigFoot Outdoor Double Tree Hammock Suspension System - w/XL Straps - 34 Loops Total - Over 10.6 feet Long; Brand: Bigfoot Outdoor Products; Review: Can't beat the quality for the price. This hammock made for some great relaxing on my bike trip. The accessories are perfect. I would give this hammock 5 stars, but the hammock I wanted was the green one in the picture so it would block light more (Easier to be incognito in the woods) but I received a tan one with green accents. The tan lets a little too much light in the sides when the sun comes up.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Shimano CARTRIDGE BOTTOM BRACKET SET BB-UN55 NON-SPLINED TYPE AXLE BSA 68-107MM W/O FIXING BOLT; Brand: SHIMANO; Review: Pefecto!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Sunrace SLM10 Friction Shifter Set; Brand: SunRace; Review: Pretty cheap components, but they work just fine. At less than $10, these are a steal. Friction is the way to go if you want total control of your shifting.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Ergonomic Bike Grips | Comfortable Handlebar Grips with Anti-Slip Contoured Design and Aluminum Alloy Inner Ring Clamps for BMX; Brand: Pro Bike Grips; Review: The rubber grips could honestly be a little harder durometer. They're a bit too squishy. Also the side handles have a little play in them even when tightened down as far as they'll go. I'm thinking the paint finish is too slick so I'll try roughing up the finish on the inside and see if that helps. Other wise, for the price, these are a great deal.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: Castel Saint Denis; City: Montreal Quebec; Review: Came to Montreal to attend the Osheaga music festival with my girlfriend. We selected this hotel based on the price and the reviews here on trip advisor. All we were looking for was a clean place to sleep and recharge after our days/nights out and it delivered on that. The rooms were nothing special, tv was small and the bathroom was tiny, but for such a cheap price and location it wasn't an issue. The room was clean and with the exception of one morning when children could be heard running down the halls, it was quiet. Our only complaints were waiting at the front door for someone to let us in, and we think someone might have gone through our luggage when we left it at the front desk after checking out when we had a flight later in the evening. Luckily we didn't leave anything of value in there so nothing was taken. Overall the place was just fine for what we needed and the price and location were great for us.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: The Lighthouse Hotel; City: Little Corn Island Corn Islands Southern Atlantic Autonomous Regi; Review: ; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Little Morgan s; City: Santa Cruz Isla de Ometepe Rivas Department; Review: Our group didn't stay at Morgan's, but we were across the street and went to Morgan's for their family dinner and drinks every night of our short stay on the island. All three family dinners were great and our burgers we had for lunch one time were also tasty. Our favourite part that kept us coming back were the staff. Courtlyn was hilarious and had us in stitches every night. Ben makes the best Caesar I've ever had made by a non-Canadian. Dani and Tim were the superstars of our time on Ometepe. They were going to SJDS for their days off and allowed us to tag along. They helped arrange cabs and were a lifesaver when there were issues with the ferries, because we wouldn't have had a clue what to do without them. I love those kids. Now to address some other reviews. Yes this can be a party place. It's one of the only places on the island open after 9pm. That's their thing. Yes you will come across bugs. You're in the middle of the jungle, you will not escape bugs. Our top rated and much more expensive accommodations across the street also had spiders and scorpions. If this bothers you, stay off the whole island or maybe even avoid Nicaragua all together. We didn't find the staff rude or cliquey at all. We were a group in our 30s, we don't look like your average young backpackers and we were still treated like family.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Finca del Sol; City: Santa Cruz Isla de Ometepe Rivas Department; Review: Finca del Sol is a beautiful property that is run very well. The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the whole stay. As per other reviews, you will come across some insects and spiders. Of course you will, you're in a remote tropical destination! If you can't handle that, then stick to resorts in the cities. This place is about the beautiful natural surroundings.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Paradiso Hostel; City: La Laguna de Apoyo Masaya Masaya Department; Review: We visited the Paradiso on a day trip and didn't stay at the resort, but we wish we did. It's a beautiful location. The food/drinks were cheap and the staff were great. When we come back to Nicaragua, we're definitely spending a few nights here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Hostel Surfing Donkey; City: San Juan del Sur Rivas Department; Review: Pros: It's a nice hostel in the party town of SJDS. We rented a private room. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. It has a nice pool in the center, lots of seating and a bar that isn't expensive. Errol was a great staff member there, everyone else seemed very indifferent and not happy to interact with guests. Cons: It's very loud. Bring earplugs. If you don't have earplugs, don't worry they sell them at reception (it's a sign). They say quiet time is 9pm but it was only enforced by staff on one night of our stay. The other nights, guests were allowed to continue partying or the staff themselves would talk on the phone or amongst themselves till late at night. Don't stay in room 5 because they have seating mattresses right outside your window in the lobby so you'll continually have people having conversations right outside of your window or you'll hear every person enter the hostel. Also be warned that the church nearby likes to fire off cannons and ring their bell wicked early in the morning some days. Don't forget to bring those ear plugs. More cons: For some reason they had no running water for two days. Because of this we couldn't shower and had to get pool water to fill the toilet to flush it. They also lost electricity for a day and had to run a generator sporadically to keep the bar sound system going so we could keep hearing the same Justin Bieber song over and over again<--- subjective complaint, I know. Lastly for reasons unknown, we got charged $30 more for the room (not bar tab) than another couple that we were travelling with. We used the same website and had the same in/out dates. All in all this hostel has a tonne of potential, but our stay was mediocre. It could have very well been due to poor timing and circumstance, but charging patrons full price when you can't provide the amenities you list is poor form.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Big Fish Cafe and Guesthouse; City: Big Corn Island Corn Islands Southern Atlantic Autonomous; Review: We were supposed to spend 3 nights here, but we got stuck on the little island because the boats were shut down. The owner was very understanding and accommodating with us not being able to make our reservation on time. The room was very comfortable. Air conditioning and a soft bed and pillows was a welcome change for us on this trip. The food in the restaurant was decent as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Balcon Real; City: Managua Managua Department; Review: Stayed here for a night before catching our plane home. It's close to the airport. The staff are very friendly and the beds are comfy. The wifi was the most stable we've found on our trip. Unfortunately we couldn't find much to do or eat in the short time we stayed here.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hostel Oasis; City: Granada Granada Department; Review: The name is very fitting for this hostel. Beautiful hostel hidden in the middle of Granada. We rented a private room. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean and bathrooms worked great. The lobby fridges full of water and beer to take what you wanted and add to your tab were great. Communal kitchen looked nice, but it was always quite busy around meal times. Beautiful little pool to take a dip in because it can get quite hot. There are hammocks everywhere! The wifi wasn't the greatest, but that's not unusual for Nicaragua and they had routers all over the property ensuring you had a good signal. They also have desktop computers to use as well. Free breakfast was also great. The tours they have set up all were all great and for a good price. This was one of the best hostels I've had the pleasure of staying in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Marina Fiesta Resort Spa; City: Cabo San Lucas Los Cabos Baja California; Review: Two of us stayed in a Grand Luxe sweet. The room had a nice view of the hotel, great shower, fridge with stocked beverages, 4 burner induction stove top, and comfy beds. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Pool bar was nice, but even though it wasn't very busy, the usual bartender working it was painfully slow at times. The resort is in a great spot on the marina making it easy for you to get to all of the popular places and amenities in the area. The food at the on-site bar/restaurant was decent. Simple breakfast buffet and decent lunch (I loved the octopus tacos). The other restaurants included with the resort are steps away and always had fantastic service and great food compared to other all inclusive resorts I have stayed at. I loved trying the authentic dishes at Los Deseos. They also have a great breakfast menu if you get tired of the buffet at the resort. Jacks is a great steak joint and they also cooked up a wicked multi-course meal with the wahoo we caught that day. Ask for Jonathan, he's great. Baja Lobster Co. was decent as well. We also went to eat at Los Riscos which is at the Hacienda Encantada (sister resort). Great food with an amazing sunset view. All in all a great time and I would recommend it as a great smaller all inclusive resort.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: Edenia Punta Soberana Hotel; City: El Calafate Province of Santa Cruz Patagonia; Review: My friend and I stayed in Hotel Edenia the 2nd week of May 2008. Upon arrival we were greeted by our hotel concierge Mateo and along with some champagne. Firstly, our experience at the hotel was amazing. The hotel team was very informative, friendly and super hospitable. During our stay we encountered an airline strike, and Mateo gladly offered to help us sort out the situation by accompanying us downtown to the airline office. The hotel is located on punta soberana, which is a short distance (10 minute cab ride) from El calafate town center. During peak season a hotel shuttle is provided for travel to the town center. But during our stay which was low season, cab services to and from downtown were provided by the hotel. At the time, the hotel was working on the road pavement, which made it a bit of a short bumpy ride up. However, this was not a major issue for us at all. The hotel is situated up on a little hill facing Lake Argentine. There is little development surrounding the hotel, which made it a pleasant experience. The décor in the hotel is modern and clean. The dining area overlooks the lake and is great to get some morning sun while enjoying breakfast. The breakfast selection in the morning was nice. We did have dinner one night at the hotel, but was just ok. We booked a 2 twin bed room, which was spacious and comfortable. The linens were fresh and crisp. The bathroom was spotless and a good size. There is also free internet service which was suitable for our basic needs. I highly recommend Edenia for their quality services and super staff. I hope to return in the near future!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Ayres de Salta Hotel; City: Salta Province of Salta Northern Argentina; Review: My friend and I stayed in Ayres de Salta the first week of May 2008. The hotel is located within walking distance to the main square 9 and the San Francisco church. All amenities such as good restaurants, shopping, and supermarket are also a short walk away. We booked a 2 twin bed room, which suited our basic needs. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was a decent size and clean. Also, maid service would leave sweets on our beds after returning from our daily activities. The breakfast dining area is located in the upper mezzanine deck. The dining area was nice and cozy. We dined at the restaurant one night and the meal was tasty and plentiful. The hotel and dining staff were extremely friendly and attentive. The hotel also had a rooftop pool, which we didn’t get a chance to explore or use because it was a bit of a breeze for us during our stay. One night we were running low on toothpaste and the hotel staff offered to pick up some toothpaste at a nearby pharmacy for us. The staff was quick in our requests. There is also free internet service which was suitable for our basic needs. Overall our stay at Ayres de Salta was pleasant. I would definitely return in the future!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Residence Ca Foscolo; City: Venice Veneto; Review: My family and I stayed at the Residenza Ca’ Foscolo in Venezia during the third week of November 2012 for a few days. Overall our experience at Residenza Ca’Foscolo was outstanding. Upon arrival we were greeted by the very hospitable Eleonara. She helped us with the luggage (since there is no elevator), but wasn’t a problem for us at all. She also helped us with maps and recommendations. The location of Residenza Ca’Foscolo is tucked away from the very busy foot traffic near the Rialto Bridge. The apartments are really close ( 2 minute ) walk from the Rialto Water taxi stop (which was extremely convenient since we had our granny traveling with us and it was perfect for getting from the airport and to the train station by water taxi). When you arrive you will see a Disney store and the building is along the right side alley behind the store ( as you keep on walking you will come across a bridge and its directly across the bridge). All the main attractions ( San Marco Square, Doges Palace etc) are within walking distance (10-15 minutes walking from the apartment). There is also a grocery store very close by which was good for basic things such as water, snacks and wine. Residenza Ca’Foscolo is a beautiful building consisting of several apartments. Since we were a large group, we were split into two apartments. The apartments were modern, extremely well kept, clean and comfortable. The apartments were fully equipped with amenities such as clothing washer, safe, dishwasher, fridge, stove, and free wifi. It definitely felt like a home away from home which we enjoyed. During our stay we had the standard continental breakfast (cereal, pastries, jam, nutella, crackers, tea, coffee) which was prepared for us on the counter every day. We did have a few treats (packaged prosciutto, salami, and soft cheese) in the fridge. This was my second trip to Venice and the first for most of my family. Overall Residenza Ca’Foscolo is a great base for long or short stays. I would definitely return to Residenza Ca’Foscolo in the future again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Nishitetsu Inn Shinjuku; City: Nishishinjuku Shinjuku Tokyo Tokyo Prefecture Kanto; Review: My friend and I stayed at this hotel in October 2014 for 4 nights. The hotel is located in Shinjuku prefecture. It is within walking distance (15-20 minutes) to all the action in Shinjuku and tons of shopping/restaurants .The closest metro station is Nishi-Shinjuku which is a short 3 minute walk away (2 short blocks or so) and there is an elevator (this was great considering we had to catch the early morning airport express with our big luggage and was an easy one metro stop to Shinjuku station). For other days, it was also an easy 15 minute walk to the enormous Shinjuku station (for JR lines and airport express). In order to get there, one would walk on the elevated pedestrian walkway to access the station (we used Exit A18 as a point of reference – which was on the east side of Shinjuku station).The hotel is located on the quieter area of Shinjuku and had plenty of dining options. There is a McDonalds across the street, a 7-11 and Family Mart within a block radius. There is also a nice café right by the lobby of the hotel. We stayed in a double room as all the twin rooms were fully booked. The room was clean and on the tighter side, but with two people and luggage, we managed quite alright. The bed was on the firmer side and had a nice cozy down comforter. Slippers, robes, toothbrush/paste, shampoo/conditioner, body wash were provided and extras such as body sponge, makeup remover pads, cotton squares and tips were available by the elevator in the lobby. The bathroom was clean and a good size. The water pressure was excellent. The staff was very helpful and attentive. We asked for directions to several restaurants and maps were immediately printed out for us. We also borrowed an umbrella from the front desk on a rainy day.Overall this was a very pleasant stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Kyoto Hana Hotel; City: Kyoto Kyoto Prefecture Kinki; Review: My friend and I stayed at Kyoto Hana Hotel in October 2014 for 2 nights. Kyoto Hana Hotel is located in Higashiyama in Kyoto. It is within walking distance to the Kamo River, the Pontocho district and Gion. The closest metro station is Sanjo and less than a minute away ( EXIT 1 – as the Sanjo station is a big station with several exits/entry ). This was very convenient because it allowed for easy access to Fushimi-inari and Arashiyama stations all by metro – which are the top 5 places to visit in Kyoto. The bus stops were also within walking distance which we used to visit the Northern part of Kyoto by bus. It is an easy access to Kyoto Station as well, but we opted to take the cab because of our big and heavy luggage. It’s a short 10-15 minute cab ride to/from Kyoto Station where we caught the shinkansen to Tokyo. As for restaurants, there were plenty especially near the Kamo River. There is a convenient store next store as well. We stayed in a Standard Twin Room and it was perfect. The rooms were super clean; the beds were on the firmer side but not an issue for us at all. The down comforters were cozy. The room came with basic toiletries such as toothbrush with toothpaste; comb, terry cloth spa slippers (nice touch!), shampoo/conditioner and body wash with dispensers in the bathroom. They also offer extra bath salts/powder and bath cloths at the front desk free of charge. The water pressure was excellent, especially after a long day of walking and sightseeing. The staff at Kyoto Hana Hotel was exceptional and made our stay much more pleasant. They were very attentive and helpful with maps/directions and recommendations for food. They also hailed a cab for us upon our departure and held our luggage while sightseeing on our last day in Kyoto.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Plymouth South Beach; City: Miami Beach Florida; Review: Some friends and I stayed at the Plymouth for a girl’s getaway for a long weekend. The Plymouth Miami Beach hotel is very stylish, with that 1920’s Art Deco feel to it. It is intimate, from the reception area to the bar and the pool area. Outside of the hotel is quiet, with some construction/developments going on but not an issue for sleeping wise. The room was small with two double beds. The linens, bed and pillows were super comfortable. The sink was in the main area and the shower/toilet in a separate room. The shower was big, modern and with good shower pressure. However, after using the shower, there was a funky sewer smell that was very unpleasant. Not sure if it was just our room, but something we can overlook. Our room reservation also included complimentary breakfast for ONE occupant and for an additional $20 USD pp, for other occupants of the room. We opted to do a la carte. The hotel grounds included a kid’s size pool in the patio. It was a good size for dipping in the pool and the lounge chairs/cabana were a nice touch for an evening relaxation time. The pool is open 24 hours and there are towels and cold lemon water by the pool for the hotel occupants. The location of the hotel is a short 10 minute walk to south beach. Collins Park is 2 minutes away and a Walgreens is 2 blocks away (good for stocking up on water, snacks and wine!). Like anywhere along South Beach, the easiest way to get around is by car or walking. As occupants of Plymouth hotel, we also had access to a rooftop pool that is 2 blocks away in another condominium complex. We checked it out early in the morning, but getting to the rooftop pool was like a puzzle. On the beach, the Plymouth occupies an area with lounge chairs and hotel personal for setting up umbrellas and cabana beds. Your hotel resort fee only covers two free lounge chairs. Extra lounge chairs and umbrellas were an additional $15 USD each. Not so much a bargain, but common among the resorts/hotels. Neighboring hotel was charging $10 USD each for lounge chairs. The range seem to be from 10-20 USD. The team at the front desk, door, bar and breakfast service were super friendly and helpful. Upon arrival we were greeted with complimentary wine/prosecco. This was a nice touch. The resident restaurant was Blue Ribbon Sushi which we did not try, but there seemed to be a decent amount of traffic there. Overall our experience with the staff at the Plymouth Miami Beach Hotel were awesome. The beds were good, rooms were small. However a few days later there were unexpected mini bar charges which we did not make, but were sorted out with the hotel soon after. All the little fees (which the resort fee should cover -) for lounge chairs, umbrella and issues about how many complimentary breakfasts we were allowed was a nuisance.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Alt Hotel Montreal Griffintown; City: Montreal Quebec; Review: My friend and I stayed at Hotel Alt at the end of July 2017. Hotel Alt Montreal is located in Griffintown, an up and coming area in Montreal. They call Griffintown one of the new Brooklyn’s of Montreal. There were lots of condominiums and high rises going up, but not much activity when we were there due to the construction holiday. The new was a nice contrast to the various industrial buildings and a past surrounding the Lachine canal, bridges, rail and the urban legend Mary Gallagher. Hotel Alt was a solid 15-20 minute walk to Old Port and Old Montreal. There was also a nice bike path along the canal, which will also take you to Old Port. Along Peel Street, you will find various stores, Marche Adonis supermarket, Tim Hortons and a few banks. We tried a local bakery, Le Bete a Pain for breakfast and they had some really good pastries. We parked in the hotel parking garage which was 26 CAD dollars for 24 hours. The area was on the quiet side during the evenings. We also opted to walk everywhere during our stay in Montreal, but we did notice a few bus lines near the hotel. When making reservations, I requested a top corner room facing Old Port. Upon check in and without expectations, we got exactly that and couldn’t be happier! Our room was on the very top floor with two large windows facing the water. The rooms reflected the whole Griffintown area, the new with the industrial feel with partly exposed concrete walls. The queen bed was super comfortable and had a lovely comforter. The bathroom was nice, spacious and modern. There was a small bench which was great to put our toiletries, clothes and towels. The shower had great water pressure and was provided with basic body cleansing liquids. One side of the shower was exposed to the main room with its etched glass panel. This wasn’t a major issue for us, since the headboard of the bed blocked any direct viewing of the shower. The room itself was a good size, with a nice sitting chair and a full length mirror with closet space. The staff at the reception area were always friendly and helpful with general questions and tips. Overall we had a pleasant experience at Hotel Alt Montreal. We would definitely recommend Hotel Alt Montreal !; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with businesses as follows: Title: William Schwartz Jewelry; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Russell was the BEST. The picture of polite professionalism, and spent a very long time on my appraisal. Even called to get a second opinion because he wasn't sure his appraisal on my engagement ring lined up appropriately with what my husband paid for it. He also appraised my grandmother's pearls and included my wedding band in the cost of the engagement ring appraisal. He and his wife are the kind of people you WANT to spend money with! His prices are also less than half of what a diamond district gem appraiser quoted me, which is icing on the cake. I would pay double to support Russell - he is a gem (pun completely intended!); Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Hello Hair Salon; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I've been to Hello twice in the past two weeks, once for a cut and once for color. I rate the cut alone 5 stars. See below for my terrifying customer service encounter to explain the 2 star rating. Lena did both - and I must say, my curly cut is AMAZING. Truly perfect. In addition I felt she spent tons of time on me (my hair is very long/difficult), and was professional and sweet the whole time. My color, on the other hand, I am unhappy with. I would say it's definitely partially my fault, because I asked for the wrong technique. I DID, however, show several end result pictures and I was clear that I trusted her to employ whatever technique she deemed fit to achieve the end result - she is the professional. My naturally light brown hair is nothing like the blonde highlight/lowlight inspiration pic I gave. It is a brassy yellow color, with very subtle highlighting.... However, Lena spent an inordinate amount of time on it and I believe the $170 it cost was fair for her time alone. After the single process, I did mention I thought it looked brassy. I am terrible at speaking my mind in situations like this so I probably didn't speak up enough. I let her continue, I knew she was in a hurry to get to a concert. She blew my hair dry and I paid and left quickly. I realized the MOMENT I got home that it was a mistake not to have spoken up more at the salon.... But even though I am unhappy with the color, I can't think of one bad thing to say about her. I tried to see if it would grow on me for the weekend. Come Monday, I still hated it. I took until Thursday to work up the nerve to bring it up, so I dropped by the salon on my way home from running errands. Lena wasn't there, but Liberty asked if she could help me. As soon as I began, she said I got exactly what I asked for. I asked if there was anything we could do to get my hair closer to the inspiration pic I gave... And she raised her voice and launched into a barrage of insults in which I was condescendingly called honey, sweetie, etc. I was accused of doing something to my hair to make it look this way, and that I was only trying to get a free treatment out of the salon. I then said: "THIS conversation is the reason I have avoided contacting you guys - normally I would just live with the mistake until it was time for my next color." And Liberty said, and I quote: "Well, sweetie, it sounds like you have problems. Maybe you need therapy for that." I left in tears. I can't afford another $170 to fix my hair, so I'll be living with it for 4-6 months until my next color, which DEFINITELY will not be at Hello. I would follow Lena if; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Knead Body Boutique; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: The first time I tried Knead, it was because my husband bought me a groupon. I did have a bit of a rocky experience booking, but it all worked out. The massage was great, and given the setting and the sports medicine experience of the masseuse, I told my husband he should go if the offer ever came up again. It did, and he loved it (as I expected). It's not a typical 'spa' environment, but is professional and especially great if you like heavy pressure and sports massage techniques.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Crimson Hair Studio; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: After my experience being verbally berated for voicing my unhappiness with my color at another salon, I went to talk to Andrea at Crimson. I will be booking an appointment with her for sure - she was so nice, and really talked me through the correct techniques to use to to achieve my desired end result. I am not a hair expert, and never claimed to be - Andrea made me feel comfortable and took time to listen to me and suggest solutions. What a sweetheart. Also, the price she quoted was mega affordable, especially for someone who has her level of experience. I can't wait for my appointment!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Triumph Brewing Company; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: WHOA. I'd been here before to hang out & have drinks, but last night my husband and I had a bunch of the small plates. Phenomenal. So, so, so good. The antipasti plate alone was amazing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Sbraga; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Hmmm. Sbraga is a difficult place to review, because it wasn't bad, per se, but also didn't live up to my expectations. I was torn before making the reservation because the reviews are mixed... But I now agree with what several other reviewers have said... First of all, CILANTRO HATERS BEWARE. I went for my birthday and cannot eat cilantro, which is usually only a problem at Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese or Indian restaurants. Our waiter at Sbraga informed me that the devil herb was in nearly everything. EVEN the kimchee, which seems blasphemous. I was forced to select from very few options, one of which was the Gnocchi with escargots and Tom Ka Gai (which had coriander seed, but surprisingly no fresh cilantro, and was delicious.) Like other posters said, the truffled popovers were amazing. The fois gras soup was OK, but felt like there were too many tidbits competing for attention, including something that was sort of assaulting - like pieces of fresh ginger or some other super-strong flavor? After the gnocchi I had the meatloaf, which was salty as many have mentioned. My husband had the octopus piri piri which I couldn't even try because it was smothered in cilantro (my husband said it was so spicy it sort of ruined the dish), and then the spring lamb, which was good. Overall, I just feel like the chef tried to cram too many flavors into each dish, and it takes away from the food. The portions were small, but I was stuffed by the end of the meal. For dessert, I had the key lime pie, which was deconstructed to perfection, but my husband was the loser of this course, choosing the chocolate pot de creme. The creme itself was amazing, but the pineapple sake granita is more clashing than harmonious. Those little rice krispy treats they give you for your birthday though... Oh, man those are almost worth the trip!!; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Tietra; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I am really sad by the low reviews for this place. After commenting to a friend that I'm confused as to why it's never busy, someone told me about bad reviews on here. I came to defend Tietra! I've probably eaten there 5 times and never had a bad experience. No, it isn't Ami's... But at around 1/2 the price (and right next to Kimmel Center) I'll take it. The wine is good, the food is ALWAYS prepared well, and while the service is a bit slower paced, it is always courteous. I will continue to happily dine here - 3 star reviews or not. Remember guys, the star rating should be a balance of service, price and food - which is why I gave 5 stars. It is a great every day option, not necessarily a special occasion place like so many others in this neighborhood. For the prices and portions, this place can NOT be beat.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Hung Vuong Super Market; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: This place is WAY bigger than it looks on the outside - and they seem to have a great selection. Giant meat cleavers for 9.99? Awesome! Probably hundreds of types of noodles? Yay! Also, I can buy pigs feet and such without getting the same weird looks and royal inquisition I get at Esposito's or Cannuli Bros. I couldn't find the kamaboko fish cakes I 'need' for my ramen, but I'm SURE they're there... Somewhere. The produce didn't seem too great, but it's not like you can find rambutans and lotus root anywhere on 9th st. As a previous poster said, they do not have scanners which is funny because there is NO way those cashiers know the prices of every single thing.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: The Body Klinic; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: This review is for lash extensions only. I bought an Amazon Local deal for $79 lash extensions, which is a pretty good deal for Philly. I had never had them before, because $200-$300 is not a realistic amount for me to spend on a non hair color beauty service... But I have friends who get them routinely in NYC and knew what I could expect. Normally they should take around 2 hours to apply, at The Body Klinic they finished in 1 hour (maybe a little less). I think this is because they glued chunks of lashes at the outer corners, which seemed thicker/coarser and poked me in the eyelid almost constantly. They also glued one of my eyes shut, which took about 5 minutes to PULL APART. They may have fixed them if I went back - I didn't even call. I figured that would just delay the inevitable patchy lashes I'd have to experience as they fell out naturally. Unfortunately the 'patchy' look came just 1 week after having them applied. 3 weeks later (today) I just wiggled/pulled the large remaining clump on my outer eyelid, and it pulled out about 6 lashes. Remember, these lashes are meant to be individually applied to single lashes, not glued on in clumps. Oh well, You get what you pay for - maybe they spend more time on their full price clients? I just wanted to let potential lash customers know. As a spa the place seemed so-so, with massage tables divided by curtains. They were very nice and courteous, and I had no problem using my voucher.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

We had the Front room at the 1st floor, which gives you easy access and no need to disturb owners. Room was clean, had everything you need. The AC was super loud so we only used the fan (which also sounds like there is a helicopter above your head.) Our Room had a small wooden window (which you close at night). In combination with the low ceilings you can got a claustrophobic feeling.

It seems to fatigue more quickly than the older ones.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Delta Faucet Single-Spray Shower Head, Chrome 52652-PK; Brand: DELTA FAUCET; Review: Love these all metal shower heads. Give them as gifts. They can be easily disassembled for cleaning. The minimalist design looks great in a contemporary shower.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: BESTSUN LED Flashlight, 2000 Lumens, Xml- T6 Military Grade Tac Light with 5; Brand: BESTSUN; Review: Excellent well fabricated flashlight provides serious light. Would have been nicer if it were originally designed for the 18650 battery. The adapter ring is - not ideal. The electronics package allows for multiple modes. It would have been nicer with a lower power mode and low voltage cut-off.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Culligan SW-2 3/4-Inch Housing Spanner Wrench; Brand: Culligan; Review: Got this for a friend who was struggling with water filter maintenance. Twice a year it serves well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Delta Faucet Single-Spray Shower Head, Chrome 52650-PK; Brand: DELTA FAUCET; Review: Well made of quality materials. Valve allows for water conservation, but does not shot flow off. Can be disassembled for cleaning.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Qunqi L298N Motor Drive Controller Board Module Dual H Bridge DC Stepper For Arduino; Brand: Qunqi; Review: These controllers are as adverties, easy to work with, but sensiive to back EMF. If driving an inductive load, make sure the power rail is solid. Also, some small caps on the driven side can help reduce noise. In the chip data sheet there is a note that 30v @ 100 uS will fry the device. Periodic (1 second) 10 uS pulses will fry it too,,,; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: 9 PACK - PAR20 LED 7 WATT (50W Equivalent), 2700K Soft White, DIMMABLE- Indoor/Outdoor Lighting, 470 Lumens, Flood Light; Brand: Sunco Lighting; Review: These lamps go into recessed fixtures very nicely. Since they are a fraction of the input power of the incandescent lamps, they run really cool. They are quite bright, compared to CFL or incandescent with similar specifications; consider a dimmer. The CFLs ran about 5 years, maybe short of the touted life, but clearly more than previous technology. Looking forward to a decade of service from these lamps.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Insinkerator Badger 1 Garbage Disposal 1/3HP; Brand: InSinkErator; Review: These are descent units. I have installed a bunch of them over the years. All have failed and need replacement. Mostly the problem is in the impeller housing, it cracks from debris banging up against it and leaks (yuck). One failed due to an electronic problem another developed a leak someplace else. The manufacturer might consider reinforcing the impeller housing. Perhaps a layer of Kevlar reinforced Teflon would be able to provide closer tolerances, with better impact and leak resistance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: G.T. Water Products 186 Drain King Unclog Hose Attachment; Brand: G.T. Water Products; Review: These things get the job done! My mom has some sinks that are chronic problems. This device, and a bit of unorthodox methodology, clears clogs that have frustrated professional drain cleaners for decades. One should note that this device pressurizes the drain pipes, upwards of the street water pressure and has the potential to cause leaks or burst the pipes. Due to the construction and stresses the device is subjected to, they tend to age and fail quickly. Getting a new one twice a decade is fine by me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Paracord Planet 1/4” Elastic Cord Crafting Stretch String with Various Colors – Choose from 10, 25, 50, and 100; Brand: PARACORD PLANET; Review: This is quality bungee chord.

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: The Waterfront Hotel Spa Golf; City: Wyboston Bedfordshire England; Review: Our recent overnight stay at Wyboston did exactly what was needed, provided a rest and pampered chill out. Initially the arrival provided some disappointment. We were surprised to have to walk outside to enter our room block, especially at the prospect of wandering across in bathrobe. The package we were on only included 4 hours thermal spa access and so the first afternoon we crossed the car park into the associated health club which was noisy with children's swimming lessons and the atmosphere was utilitarian and rather off putting. I would firmly advise ensuring your stay includes full thermal spa access. We had also been advised to upgrade our rooms for lake views which we did. I hasten to add this was not by the hotel but by spabreaks who we booked through. We did not get the large room overlooking lakes but a perfectly pleasant, well equipped but small room overlooking a car park. Things improved dramatically with our first treatment in the afternoon, and the evening meal was delicious. The restaurant overlooked the lake and very attractive Following morning breakfast was rather odd in that we assumed everything was only buffet option and only as we left did we notice that we could have requested certain options (vegetarian/porridge etc) the waiting staff did not make us aware. The thermal spa time was wonderful, beautiful hydro pool, saunas, steam rooms etc. Having been to many spa hotels this was one of the best. Our treatment also was wonderful Lunch was perfectly acceptable, the buffet was rather limited with some menu options not available Will definitely go again; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Holiday Inn Express Droitwich Spa; City: Wychbold Worcestershire England; Review: Initially a little surprised to see it was quite so close to M5, but once in the room it was quiet, no noise at all. Triple glazing works! I needed to carry out some low level interviews and the lounge area was excellent, quite large and comfortable. No difficulty getting parked and with an Indian restaurant, Harvester and Mcdonalds all off the carpark no difficulty in getting some basic food. Wouldn't use this for leisure purposes but for business it's idea.Friendly helpful staff; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Penmaenuchaf Hall; City: Penmaenpool Dolgellau Snowdonia National Park North Wales Wales; Review: A country house hotel set in 22 acres of beautiful grounds . We booked a travel zoo deal found ourselves in a pretty room overlooking river in the distance and understand residents also enjoy fishing rights. Enjoyed every aspect of being here and would highly recommend. The evening market menu is limited but excellent, less choice seemed to mean that the effort went into creating excellent quality. Slightly disappointed that the limited menu did not alter completely on our second night as only three choices per course meant repetition was a surprise, but very minor quibble, we went via travel zoo and will go back; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Stackpole Inn; City: Stackpole Pembroke Pembrokeshire Wales; Review: We stayed overnight in a delightful room. Lovely touches included a small carafe of Sherry for a pre-meal drink. Thhe staff were very friendly. Seem to specialise in fish , superbly, simply cooked ,but the big surprise was the unusual delicious home made butter bean hummus starter. The core theme seemed to be excellent ingredients well cooked. I was marginally disappointed by breakfast ,the breakfast table was really limited and being someone who doesn’t do fry ups or kippers didn’t feel I had any interesting alternatives, but would definitely return, and want to explore the lovely location further; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Mansion House Llansteffan; City: Llansteffan Carmarthenshire Wales; Review: The mansion house is in a lovely location and has the potential to be a beautiful chic hotel, but sadly overall we leave somewhat disappointed. Nothing disastrous but lots of small failings. We paid a supplement for. an upgrade room and had a large room overlooking the bay. Despite two TVs (bedroom and dressing area) there was no full length mirror, Two showers but neither with a sufficient jet of water , why not have one decent one. Lovely teas, coffees etc in room, but no shower caps,, just felt the usual extras were lacking. In fact several attempts to call reception to request shower cap went unanswered until we called on an outside line, then answered immediately, The decor is basic , and felt quite austere, We stayed two nights and were surprised that the menu didn’t,t change over the two nights Food was quite good, game dishes excellent. The vegetarian dishes had potential but fell short. Staff very friendly but overall it didn’t live up to our expectations; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: Victoria House B B; City: Caernarfon Gwynedd North Wales Wales; Review: Stayed here on the recommendation of previous wonderful reviews and was not disappointed. Jan was very welcoming and the rooms were spotlessly clean and airy. The B & B is well-located on a quiet road close to the town centre and the harbour. Jan recommended a couple of excellent places to eat and even gave us a map to get there. The breakfast was good and we were well catered for. The B & B is located on a narrow one-way system that our satnav struggled to pinpoint and the only parking is on the street and hard to come by. There is ample parking close by though. We would definitely recommend this B&B to anyone wanting to stay there.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Cley Windmill; City: Cley Next the Sea Holt Norfolk East Anglia England; Review: We have just returned from a lovely weekend at cley windmill. The room was great we were in the wheat room which was round. You couldn't fault the place. The staff were friendly and polite. I had a full English breakfast which was yummy and my hubby had kedgerie which he also enjoyed. Would I go back, probably not, nothing to do with the windmill just didn't like the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Leicester Marriott Hotel; City: Enderby Leicester Leicestershire England; Review: Just got back from a hen night. We had cocktail making which was great fun. We were shown how to make the cocktails then we could have a go and of course then drink the cocktails made. We then had a meal in a private room. The food was very good as was the service. We then went to our rooms which were clean and large. There were two double beds in each room. These were very comfy with the best pillows I have ever slept on. The breakfast was a help yourself job. There was fruit, pastries, toast, continental meats and full English. Yum. We were then booked for a half hour treatment which again was great. While I was there I also sed the pool which was on the small side but very nice. I would say this is a great hotel, but not if you want a good outlook or want to be in the town centre.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Holiday Inn Leicester; City: Leicester Leicestershire England; Review: I went to an abba night last night with a group of friends. We had a great time. The staff were lovely and helpful. We had a pre-ordered meal which was nice. I had a melon starter which was a bit boring. For my main I had salmon which was beautifully cooked. It was served with carrots, brussels (thick were frozen) and roasties. Finally I had a choc and cherry pus which was gorgeous. Included in the meal was an open bar. I the wine they served was lovely. The abba act they had were good and got everybody singing. I didn't stay over but some of my friends did. The rooms were nice and clean though the corridors were a bit tired. Also only one lift worked which meant a bit of hanging around. Overall though a brilliant night and I would happily go to other functions there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: The Old House Suites; City: Shrewsbury Shropshire England; Review: We came here for a couple of nights for my birthday. We chose here due to the great reviews and were not disappointed. The directions given on the website made negotiating Shrewsbury very easy. On arrival Tony met us and took us to our room which was the Bromley Suite on the top floor. He then took us to the local ncp carpark to park the car. The cost was included in the price of the room. I fell in love with our room. You need to look at the website at the pictures. The breakfasts were lovely. The toaster was very slow though. Also included in the price is a tour by Tony of the property. This was brilliant and very interesting. When we went it was very cold and snowy and the house is a bit drafty so would recommend taking a jumper. I will certainly be returning to this wonderful b and b as it is brilliantly located and a wonderful place to stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: Sea Shore Motel; City: Santa Monica California; Review: My wife and I stayed her in March, 2012. Chris, Ken, and Tom were great! Whoever was in the office dropped everything to focus on us and our questions. We can’t afford to stay directly on the beach so this motel has the right price. Walk 2 to blocks to the beach. Then walk 6 blocks north and you get to Santa Monica Pier. Instead if you walk 2 blocks south, you are on Venice Beach and observe all the active people. The entire floor in the room is tiled so you know it is a clean room. Other motels have carpets that sometimes make me cringe; wondering what is in the carpeting. Plenty of places to eat on the same street as the motel. Would we stay again? We did, 10 days later.

Very helpful, friendly, wholesome wonderful people. Gorgeous resort and beach. The boat ride took just over 1 hour to get to the resort and later about 1-1/2 hours to return to the mainland because the waves were larger. Did the hand line fishing, kayaked in the bay, hiked to kindergarten class, snorkeled, sunset yoga, lots of time in the pool. Food was excellent. Buffet breakfast is perfect. Good lunch selections. Everyone eats the same dinner at the same time at 7:30pm and it was varied and always good. Enjoyed talking to Tai Volte about the history of the island. Enjoyed the worldwide trivia one evening. Went in mid-March. Coming from 2 feet of snow at home, we were in shock with the heat and humidity. It might have been unusually warm for this time of the year. My wife is not heat tolerant so we went into survival mode. Stayed in the ocean or the pool. Sitting in the shade in a wet swimming suit also worked. We stayed in the premium garden bure which was large and reasonably priced. It was a short but great walk through the tropical foliage to our bure. There is a mosquito netting that they put down over the bed for us every evening but we always put it back up. Only saw a couple of mosquitoes during the week and bugs were no problem. The ceiling fan in the bure helped but being sheltered from the beach, no breeze reached us. I would have upgraded to an air conditioned room if one had been available. It was hot for my wife to sleep and way too hot for my wife to walk to the kindergarten class or hike to the summit. We asked for a portable fan to help sleep at night but the only fan they had was in the kitchen and we did not feel right borrowing their one and only fan. I hope they buy a few in the future to help other guests. We brought in our luggage sealed packaged granola bars for snacks during the day. There was a safe in our bure so we could lock up our wallets and passports. Bring school supplies for the kindergarteners. It was great to see the joy on their faces as we handed out the items to the children. Lots of young couples, honeymooners, and young families were guests. All so friendly. We are social people so for every meal, we sat at different tables to meet other guests from around the world. We are 60 years old and were surprised that not many people our age were there. There might have been 6-8 guests around our age but most were in their 20's. Spring break from colleges seemed to be a factor in seeing so many young people. When snorkeling, go during high tide.

Reliable weather at this time of year. Get a room with a balcony and ocean view. So nice to look down at the pool and look out to the ocean. It is a private beach but you can walk past a couple of hotels in either direction. This helps to get away from the commotion and traffic in Clearwater. Walk along the street for 3 blocks and you are on the main public beach. When you walk into the hotel, it looks old. But the rooms are huge and excellent. Robert at the front desk was the best for advice. Only problem I had was they seemed low staffed. Several times only one person was at the desk, taking phone calls, helping customers, making coffee, getting more towels. Definitely multitasking. No wild college kids, just nice families at pool and beach. Horrible traffic and packed beach on weekends but so pleasant during the week.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Inn at Pinewood; City: Eagle River Wisconsin; Review: This is a B&B. Nice private lake. Beautiful, built in 1934 and added on in the 70's. It is like a museum inside, so much to look at. We enjoyed spending time with Dan, the manager. Dan has been a chef for over 20 years. Personable, and made us feel welcome.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Riu Palace Riviera Maya; City: Playa del Carmen Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Feb 18-26. Perfect weather, warm sea water. No sea shells, no stones, just perfect fine white sand that goes forever. People told us weather could be cool if you go any earlier. There are 4 Riu resorts on that beach. Other travelers told us this is the best Riu in the area. Always felt safe. Will return. There were always lounge chairs available in shade or sun around the pool or beach. There are many palm trees and we would move our chairs every 1/2 hour to stay in shade or sun. The pools and swim-up bar were great. And waiters are always walking around lounge chairs offering free drinks. After dinner, we would sit outside and listen to a live band. Then around 9:45 a show in the theater would start. We chose a room close to pool and far from theater so we would be near active area during day and farther from loud theater at night. But no matter where your room is, the theater is loud until 11:30 or so. Had a little trouble with WI-FI being so far from lobby but overall it worked. You can walk the beach 0.9 miles to Playa del Carmen and shop. You can walk the other direction on the beach forever. Amazing. We never waited in line to make a reservation for a special dinner restaurant. Not our thing. We prefer buffet and we never left being hungry. For the next couple of days at home, I need to have no alcohol, no desserts, and small portions of food to get back to normal. Best physically active excursion we paid for was Xenotes. We went inland to rivers for optional rappelling, zip lining, cliff jumping, snorkeling into caverns and kayaking. We are 64 years old but it was all very safe into rivers 100 feet deep. They were extremely careful with us. Went to Tulum for Mayan ruins. Not necessary to go farther for other ruins. This was 1 hour ride to get there. Can only go in morning to avoid heat of the day but it still gets very warm walking around ruins. We did an all day excursion to Cozumel Island. Not impressed with their snorkeling or their included meals at Cozumel. We should have just taken ferry on our own and explored on our own. At resort, I think about 60% of tourists were American, 30% were Canadian and 10% were from other countries. Some workers at the resort spoke no English but the workers that were serving or entertaining spoke at least broken English and some spoke very good English. I like the way every public announcement or activity at the resort was spoken in both Spanish and English. Keeps you feeling you are in the Mexican culture. I did the water aerobics, sand aerobics, water volleyball, and did a few simple guessing contests, trying to win a T-shirt. Friends told us to not drink tap water in our bathroom. So to be safe, we kept the free bottles of water at the sink for brushing teeth.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Waters of Minocqua; City: Minocqua Wisconsin; Review: This is our 2nd stay at the hotel. Rooms are huge. The whole entrance area and lobby are huge. If you want to relax and read, there are plenty of places to sit. The continental breakfast is okay. I left feeling full. Food is available until 10 am. The pool area is fantastic. Several indoor and outdoor pools. Perfect for families. Plenty of parking with my trailer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Kolovare; City: Zadar Zadar County Dalmatia; Review: The hotel was great. The outdoor pool is very clean, with many many chairs around the poolside. Room was good. Beautiful 8 block walk, along the sea, to Old Town. Felt very safe day or night. There is so much to do in Zadar and 3 nights was not enough.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Berkeley Hotel Day Spa; City: Dubrovnik Dubrovnik Neretva County Dalmatia; Review: The hotel was great. The room was nice. We had a strong Wifi signal in our room. The receptionists were really friendly and spoke English very well. They went out of their way to help us find things in Dubrovnik. They gave us a lot of good advice. I think the parking was $5/day. The parking was underground. They have a commercial car wash in the garage and we had to go through that area to get to the parking. I admit we were confused with the parking but actually we left our car there for the 4 nights. There is so much to do in Dubrovnik, 4 nights was not enough. We did our visit at the end of September. Old Town was not crowded like I had read about. Oh sure, there were plenty of people but not like the summer months during the peak tourist season. They had a basic breakfast available plus you could order anything off their menu for free. I had scrambled eggs or omelet with bacon every morning. We were very impressed with everything at this hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Daruvarske Toplice; City: Daruvar Bjelovar Bilogora County Central Croatia; Review: Beautiful park setting. Can walk and sit for hours, just relaxing and enjoying the flowers and park. The natural warm spring water is awesome. People come from all over Croatia for help with their physical problems. Therapists are available and people soak in the spring water for hours. We met a man who moved from Australia, just to be close to the hotel. He was staying for 21 nights and was feeling better after the first week. A relative brought instant coffee and cups so we could make coffee from an outdoor faucet on the property. This spring water has been coming up since the days of the Romans. The hotel room was small. Receptionists spoke English.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Pansion Kod Ruze; City: Osijek Osijek Baranja County Slavonia; Review: We were a little confused at first, about where to enter and where to park. The receptionist is actually in the restaurant. The parking lot is across the street. The hotel rooms are upstairs and in the back. She wanted to give us a room upstairs. That would have been challenging to haul our big suitcases up a steep, winding staircase. Then she agreed to give us a room in back on the first floor. We were early and the room was not cleaned yet, but they hustled and cleaned it right away for us. The room was pleasantly nice with plenty of room. Breakfast was basic but good. We felt very safe. It was a short walk, several blocks to a pedestrian area with lots of food and shopping.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Stephen Williams House; City: Savannah Georgia; Review: The location is perfect, right in the historic district. Couple blocks to walk to restaurants. Maybe 6 blocks to the river front. Charming city with all the squares and parks. This B&B, built in 1834 has been restored so well. Alice met us and gave us a tour. Make sure Alice knows what time you are coming. You could spend a lot of time just enjoying the parlor and sitting room. Interesting book to read (Then & Now). Dr. Wall has a slow southern drawl, telling one story after another. Very interesting owner, Dr Wall. The breakfast was gourmet. Only thing is that I left hungry a couple of times. Some B&B's throw out a basket of biscuits or rolls in case someone wants a little more. Lovely beautiful place. Would stay again in a heart beat.You can not go wrong here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Stoney Creek Hotel Conference Center Wausau; City: Rothschild Wisconsin; Review: My wife and I stayed there 2 nights in July. We liked the log cabin, up-north type of decor. Room with 2 dbl beds was not huge but very comfortable. Hot/cold breakfast was great. Couple different choices each morning. Never saw the pool but saw children going there. Would stay there again. Mary was helpful at the front desk.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Hampton Inn Lacrosse Onalaska; City: Onalaska Wisconsin; Review: The hotel is about 20 years old but looks brand new. They keep updating it. The bathroom has extra counter space and a shelf below. The pool looked good. The breakfast has the main staples and the hot dish changes every day. The cook said she has over 7 different egg options she uses. Everything was clean and fresh. I would stay there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Hotel St Augustine; City: Miami Beach Florida; Review: Price is good, compared to staying on the beach. Probably 3 blocks away from beach and safe neighborhood. The first impression in the lobby is not good. Cushions are very dirty. First impression of the room surprised us because of the layout, but plenty of space. Our room had been updated. Had a nice huge shower with glass doors. Seemed a little strange for no privacy while showering unless my spouse stays back toward the beds. Breakfast is bread, pastries, coffee only. No hot options or fruit. Has fridge and safe. No elevator! Have to pay extra if you want Wifi. Beach is beautiful. The path along the beach is incredible. We rented bikes from Miami Beach Bicycle Center, just a few blocks from hotel. Can bike from 5th to 30th street on the path. There is a boardwalk that goes farther but no bikes allowed. We would stay again, especially for the location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Fairways Inn of Naples; City: Naples Florida; Review: The landscaping was amazing. Very impressive. Tropical grounds, waterfall, beautiful large swimming pool. Plenty of seating around the pool under the shade of palm trees. The room was a good size. There are also suites available. I would refer to this as a motel instead of a hotel because of the layout and you have your own entrance. Breakfast is in a large gazebo and very good. I did not notice any restaurants within walking distance. The beach is also a long ways from the inn. I took a nice walk in the neighborhood which is very well kept up. I met a couple who was staying there for 1 month. We only stayed 4 nights but I would not mind going there again for 1 week. A strange thing is that only from 8am-8pm there is a person in the front lobby. If you are arriving late, you have to let them know and they will give you a code for a lock box with your key. If you call after 8:00, the only option to speak to anyone is to select an emergency prompt on the phone and someone in the neighborhood is on call. That person does not plan on coming to the grounds unless there really is a major problem. Also, there was no cleaning service on Thursdays and Sundays. I am surprised that no one told us that. The air conditioner was loud but we like it that way, sort of like white noise to help us sleep.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

When I later went online to see about purchasing additional hooks (I wanted to hang 10 - 12 pans), I found they were $10 each! So if I wanted four more hooks, I'd have had to pay as much as I paid for the rack alone. I decided to return this product and found a DIY solution to my pots and pans storage woes. It looked pretty in the package, though.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Cast Iron Branch Wall Hook - Wall Rack - Wall Mounted Coat Hook - Vintage, Rustic, Decorative; Brand: Comfify; Review: I needed to hang a decorative glass ball.

They worked perfectly. Of course, she can still stand to see us, but at least if she's mostly sleeping, half opening her eyes doesn't give us away.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Vinyl Over the Door Shoe Organizer with 24 Reinforced; Brand: Handy Laundry; Review: Got it for my toddler's shoes. She has as many shoes as me and we need a better storage solution. This works great. Some pairs even fit in one slot, giving us more room. I did have to bend down the door hooks a bit as they were preventing the door from closing, but they are metal, were easy to manipulate, and seem to be holding the new shape. The door now closes with no problem.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Crock-Pot SCCPLC200-PK 20-Ounce Lunch Crock Food Warmer, Pink; Brand: Crock-Pot; Review: I normally don't do 5 star reviews because I'm skeptical of them when I'm looking at an item, but I love this thing! This is perfect for warming up my leftovers at work. They taste so much better than the microwave. A microwave actually re-cooks the food, but this just reheats it. I cannot stomach microwaved reheated chicken, but I've been able to enjoy it when I use this to reheat it. I highly recommend buying this if you eat a lot of leftovers!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with books as follows: Title: Talkeetna Good Time; Author: Dennis Brown; Review: Connie Pfeiffenberger, Fort Collins, CO, USA Talkeetna Good Life is a must read for young adults on up who aspire to or have visited the largest and most remote state. Dennis and Carol Brown thrived on the raw edge of remote Alaska, where airplanes are the family car and the nearest "doctor" might be a medicine man or retired EMT or nurse in the not-so-near cabin next door. Dennis Brown is a natural story teller, rolling out his journals with candor, insight and uncommon acceptance of colorful characters who populate the wilds of Alaska. He vividly paints portraits on our imagination of escapes from Siberian prison camps, felons from the "lower 48" and people who simply want to be left alone. New relationships are are forged in the harsh realities of 40 below zero and unforgiving dark and ice of extended winter months and summers spent hunting, fishing and preparing survival stores for the extremes to come. Yet DB portrays Talkeetna as warm and welcoming; a great place to live and raise a family. With insightful candor, Dennis journals include his own early life in eastern Nebraska, acquiring a car and rebuilding it before he had a driver's license, and buying land and building a cabin while peers were only concerned about an upcoming game or a date for the prom. The underlying premise in this book is that life is best lived exploring and real joy found in each new experience. Talkeetna Good Life was wonderfully inspirational and just a very good read. I, for one, hope there are more stories to be shared.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Fodor's New Zealand (Full-color Travel Guide); Author: Fodor's; Review: Very good overview. Typical Fordor's book.

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: Portland Woodburn RV Park; City: Woodburn Oregon; Review: This park was close to where we needed to be, and we had no expectations other than being able to stay a couple of nights. I WAS VERY PLEASED to find immaculate showers. I used the shower at different times of day, and found them clean every time. Very exceptional indeed. This is why I rate this park very good instead of average. In general, the park was clean throughout. Park has a small pool and a few chairs, but generally, it's a cement park, with a strip of grass next to your unit, no shade. Large dog area, plus a small dog area. Although close to the freeway, it was quiet enough to sleep. No parties, no ignorant behavior. You can walk out a backgate to the outlet mall; several chain restaurants also in close walking distance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Premier RV Resort of Lincoln City Oregon; City: Lincoln City Oregon; Review: It's clean and tidy, and staff is friendly and helpful... and that's the least I expect for the price they charge. Try the showers.... it takes forever to get hot water, and then there's really just a sprinkling of water - the pressure is non-existent. There is a hot-tub indeed, and it's nice and warm. There's also wi-fi, advertised as "improved" - well, if this is improved, I'd hate to have experienced the old system. Seriously, it's not good at all. And that's it. So that's pretty expensive, especially for the off-season. They have a really cheap monthly rate, but no great specials for shorter terms. One night free if you pay for two overpriced nights, and only during the week.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Nevada Treasure RV Resort; City: Pahrump Nevada; Review: It is quite a ways out of town, and - hooray - not attached to a casino. It is, however, close to the road leading to Death Valley. Town is about 10 -12 miles. There is NO tv for RVers. There's a satellite in place for the gym and the bar, but not the guests. No cable either. Off-air didn't work at all in my spot. The wifi comes and goes a bit - I was warned of that at sign-in. It was mainly ok, though, and although there was supposed to be a limit on use, I certainly didn't notice any The pool is closed in the off-season, but the outside hottub remains available - there are showers by the poolside, but they offer no privacy or security. After dark, without any other patrons, it seems a little creepy. The sites were quite large, some had "luxury" accessories like a hut and a big barbeque. Neither was maintained, though, possibly because it's the off-season. In general, the outside seemed a bit unkempt, but the inside of the office/gym/store building was tidy and clean. The gym is large and has members coming in from town. There's an indoor spa in both the men's and women's shower area, and a sauna. There are many, many lockers that are rented to members from town, and not available to RVers. (???) What was most surprising is that in an otherwise great gym/spa there is NO changeroom. You can strip in the locker area, or in the handicapped toilet. Very odd. Some staff members had issues, but most were friendly and helpful. The "restaurant" is fast food of the popular kind, but I wouldn't recommend it. Cheap enough. Bowling alley with restaurant. Overall it seemed the RVers - who are indeed paying guests - are an afterthought here. Services seem to center around bar guests and gym members... see remarks above. As much as I'd like to rate this park higher, I didn't think I got what I paid for.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Premier RV Resorts; City: Redding California; Review: The RV park is tidy and clean, and quiet. Staff is friendly. WiFi is absolutely terrible. Nice showers, fair size lot, lawn and trees but...That's it for $48. I've had way more for way less, so that's the reason for the rating. That said, after checking out several other parks, I'd come back here should the need arise.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Golden Village Palms RV Resort; City: Hemet California; Review: Our second stay in this resort. The first stay was brief in the late spring. This time, we meant to stay for the whole 5 months, but that's not going to happen. No way. This review is "all over the place" as things came to mind, and I have changed my rating down to two out of five - I started with three for average, but it became clear that we really are that disappointed and annoyed and definitely in the wrong place (and leaving soon) Generally speaking, the resort is spacious and clean. The size of the sites varies, no two seem to be alike. Some lots have large(r) shade trees. Some areas lack maintenance, for instance water taps that simply don't work and haven't worked for a long time in the washrooms. There are two volley ball pools, one large "regular" pool, and three hot tubs. Water volley ball is very popular. - The regular pool is used to stand around while clutching a pool noodle. Forget swimming. - The three hot tubs are not ever hot enough and have occasional cleanliness / maintenance problems. Putting green. Sand volleyball. An assortment of activities that are put on the resort calendar available to everyone, but no details are ever given. Nobody has the details but the entertainment director who is extremely hard to locate. Once you've found her, and ask some questions, her face becomes incredulous and she gives half-answers. Heard others complain over lack of info also. We have missed out on so much that I wonder what we're paying for, and what she's getting paid for. Friday night is "taste testing" - aka free booze night. You are supposed to test wine, beer, harder drinks, a little bit... but it's really a free for all and look out that you don't get pushed out of the way. Silly. Some days there seems to be lunch available by the pool side, but we never did find out if you have to pre-order, or how that works - we just gave up chasing all that lacking info and canceled the remainder of our reservation. Billards room, gym. We don't use the former, but regularly run into misbehavior at the gym. It has a nice variety of cardio and weight machines and free weights. It also has canned music that is under the control of gym patrons. Often enough, we work out in peace and someone comes in and cranks up said music to its fullest level. Then the next person enters and turns on the tv as well, full blast. Often, people occupy weight machines just to watch tv. The gym also stinks. Reeks. And people want the doors closed and the portable fans off. There are no rules posted, hardly anyone ever wipes down the equipment they've used, and there's no supervision. A gym for old fuddy - duddies. Sorry. Interestingly, there's no kind of health practitioners coming in, like massage therapy and the like. With the age of most patrons, maybe that would be an idea? I would have; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Chula Vista RV Resort; City: Chula Vista California; Review: this is not average, but good. not very good. no such rating in trip advisor. This resort must have been built before RVs got large and larger. Our 41ft model and truck were barely squeezed into the spot. Definitely wouldn't do this for a longer stay, but it worked out ok for a few days. No room to enjoy the outside with this set up. Washrooms were relatively clean. Office staff was SUPERB. Resort workers start banging around at 7am - forget sleeping in if they work in your area. Location is nice, you can walk out to the bay (not a swimming bay, but very very popular and busy). Less than 10 minute drive to the gorgeous beaches of Imperial Beach. Takes dogs of all sizes, thank you!; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Red Bluff RV Park; City: Red Bluff California; Review: This is an older park that does not seem the ideal one to spend time in, but.... it's on the quiet side of Red Bluff and run by sweet folks. So it's cracking a little around the edges and will need some repairs here and there, but you have peace and quiet, a concrete pad with a picnic table, don't pay extra for power as so many California parks demand, and get absolutely awesome wifi. Washrooms were clean at any given time, and laundry is reasonably priced. Rural area, miles to ride your bike, or explore the many trails. Or just a good stop-over in a friendly town.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Premier RV Resort; City: Eugene Oregon; Review: Stayed one night while driving through Oregon. The park is right next to the very busy I-5 and you get lots of traffic noise in any spot, with the windows closed. It is, however, well maintained and clean. The "fitness room" is tiny, there is a pool, although in March it's really too cold to even think about using it. Why this would be a "resort" I do not know. Looks like a few folks stay here, but I wouldn't consider it. Oh, and you need to check their website for special offers, as you have to know about them when you sign in. Wifi is horrible.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Oceanside Beachfront RV Resort; City: Charleston Oregon; Review: It's a park. It has a showerhouse in the middle, and that's it. That doesn't make it a resort. Nice location right by the ocean, and not too crammed. Gravel. No patios. If it rains hard, it will be flooded, so keep that in mind when picking your spot. It can also get extremely windy. Not on an extremely busy road, so quiet. Close to hiking, walking, sightseeing opportunities. --- You have to figure this out yourself, office doesn't provide info Shower facility is not heated and drafty, definitely unpleasant in winter. Office lady couldn't answer our questions regarding rates and was going to contact manager, we never heard back. this was also the first time in my RV experience that I had to go back to get my membership cards (AAA, Good Sam) for proof of membership. Really, people! So, we left after just a few days; the park was in various stages of flooding after torrential rains that were still ongoing.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Village Camper Inn RV Park; City: Crescent City California; Review: Planned overnight stay while driving elsewhere; turned into two-nighter because of weather. We knew what the park was like... mainly residents, a few overnighters coming and going. Muddy. RIDICULOUS RATE FOR NO AMENITIES. The showers reek of mold. Spacious showers, gotta say that, but that just doesn't help in this case. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR WIFI - this must be the last park to hear that free wifi has become an expectation... So, overall, this is just okay for one night, while looking forward to leaving.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Palm Springs Joshua Tree KOA; City: Desert Hot Springs Greater Palm Springs California; Review: Utterly awful. We needed a place to stay and booked sight unseen - what a mistake! Checking in on a Sunday? We got the "talk to the office on Monday" at the gate. Then we were given the choice of two lots: one in the middle of the dirt lots, sandwiched in; or the one by the garbage bin at a dead end with no direct neighbors to left or right. We chose the latter. Little did we know that park residents would use this area to run their dogs off-leash, or have lengthy chats while their vehicles were running at the garbage. Turning an engine off is not done in this park. The "recycling" bins only take bottles and cans that can be returned for $, not actual recycling. The lots are dirt. There seems to have been intent on building concrete pads, you can find the odd one here and there... but they are taken. Park has a huge turn-over. There is a daily coming and going of units... most likely, because that's all the park is good for. A quick stop. Wi-fi is Tengo, and you have to pay. No coupon, not even for an hour. The pool is very,very warm and has the usual pool noodle conventions, aqua fit and volley ball. Seemed clean, if old. The showers... oh the showers! First off, I tried the showers closest to our lot. The first one fell apart while I was showering, the second one wouldn't warm up (I realized later this shower switches back and forth between warmish and hottish) So, next day I tried out the main showers at the pool. A very strange set up of shared changeroom -closed only from public view by a shower curtain- and a shower on each side, also only closed with a plastic curtain. Sure enough, a "lady" rips open my curtain and is astonished that someone is using "her" shower. Apparently she always uses it, and nobody is ever in there. She was not familiar with the concept of asking if occupied (no door to knock on) I had to back out of the shared change room to not see or disturb the other lady who had no choice but change with me in there. ON TOP OF THAT... while showering, the water backed up, and I was ankle deep in soap scum, hairballs, and who knows what else. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. I would never, ever recommend this park to anyone. Just before leaving this park, I was going to do a load of laundry. Two of the four washers were out of order. The other two had just been used to wash carpets and were FULL OF GUNK, CARPET FIBER, HAIR, PLASTIC BAGS... you had to see it to believe it. The "gentleman" washing these just gave me a blank stare... I guess he really represented the kind of people staying in this low-end park. Staff was very friendly and addressed concerns... but we stopped contacting them because it became clear that there were way too many issues. The manager; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: Nevada Treasure RV Resort; City: Pahrump Nevada; Review: First of all, this is NOT a resort. Read on for a very detailed evaluation. We arrived just before Christmas and were terribly disappointed to find that the “resort” shut down. No potluck, no get-together, nothing. The facilities exist, but nobody saw a need to accommodate a Christmas something... When we arrived, we were told the office shuts down for Christmas. Christmas Eve around lunch I was just starting to work out in the gym, when “someone” came in announcing he hoped everyone was aware that the entire facility was going to be shut down and locked up in 20 minutes time. Stunned, I protested that people would need to shower over Christmas – the showers are in the same building as the gym, office, etc. - to no effect. I rushed to get a sprinkle of water on me before going to church later on, and some woman actually turned off the lights without even a warning. I had to wrap up in a towel real quick, yell at her... and she said she didn't know I was there. According to my watch, I still had 8 minutes before shutdown. So, seriously, nobody could use the showers or (IMAGINE THIS) toilets over Christmas. Their self-promoting website reads “Nevada Treasure RV Resort Fitness Center is open every day of the year for your convenience.” Hm. Obviously not true. My second complaint is the propane situation. There is no delivery allowed. Park management expects their paying guests to: pack up as if leaving, unhook, pull in slides, secure everything... you know the drill. Then you get to drive from your lot to the main propane tank, where a park employee will refill you with high priced propane to profit the park. If that's not a slap for staying with them, what is? Obviously, paying guests are there to be milked, not serviced. What an absolutely terrible attitude. Rating: 0/5 The next major complaint is the Wifi. Or lack thereof. Sometimes it works. Seriously? This day and age, when the internet is how people stay in touch and even work away from home? There wasn't a single day when the connection didn't die suddenly, didn't come back, and/or was so slow that watching paint dry would have been faster. For the price we pay, I expect wifi to work. Period. One day it was so terrible that I phoned the office and was told that a) I was the only one complaining and b) they were expecting wind. Some of the employees are clearly unmotivated and/or unfriendly to the point of rude, be it the man who was asked to show us around and repeatedly ignored that request made by office staff, or the office staff who asked me to come find my mail myself when I asked for a tracked package she insisted had not been delivered. RVers just seem to inconvenience the staff. Maybe the many permanent residents are less work? OTHER... ~ No tv. ~ All hookups are at the back of the lots and you need extensions. ~ The pool; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: The Lakes RV Park Golf Resort; City: Chowchilla California; Review: We stayed one night on our way through. Nicely layed out, but most sites are too small for bigger units, and the pull-throughs are the most expensive. Relatively quiet neighborhood- traffic noise calmed down, either didn't notice the trains or there weren't any overnight, large barking dogs) Small pool, and even smaller hottub. The hottub is big enough for two, maximum three skinny people. Needless to say, someone beat us to it, when we could have done with a soak after a long day on the road. Friendly staff, and gated at all times. So my low score is based on what was offered (pretty much nothing) for the cost, and we'll be looking elsewhere next time around.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Ainsworth Hot Springs Resort; City: Ainsworth Hot Springs Kootenay Rockies British Columbia; Review: this is for the Hot Springs only, we did not stay in the hotel or visit the restaurant. Overall, nice place. Large warm pool, small hot pool and caves you can walk through and/or sit for a while (hot). Newly renovated, lights in the caves. ~ When reclining in one of the little bays in the caves, my foot got caught on an electric cable ~ that can't be good. Price $12 adults/ $11 seniors ~ not exactly cheap for what you get, compared to other/ international hot springs we've visited. ~ this rate does not allow you to leave and come back, but you can stay as long as you like. Changerooms: I'm commenting on the women's only. The point of doors on change cubicles, showers, and toilets usually is to provide privacy. The resort chose to put in SEE THROUGH glass doors. Not impressed. There were things lying around that customers had obviously forgotten, including date stamped receipts, so one might think it doesn't get tidied/cleaned all that often. No lockers. You have to give your bag to staff for safekeeping and get a number to pin to your suit. Speaking of BAG: you either pay for a plastic bag (extra, not included) or have to bring something large enough to hold all you stuff. At the price, a bag should really be included. We were told the money paid for plastic bags goes to some Wilderness charity, but that's no my concern. If you're so worried about the environment, just don't provide plastic at all and put lockers in. Then customers also don't have to put their trust in staff not looking through your belongings/wallets. Staff was friendly enough, all young people probably still in school.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: North Spokane RV Campground; City: Spokane Washington; Review: New park on the north side of Spokane. When making a reservation over the phone, I wasn't told that they will not issue refunds until AFTER my credit card had been charged. Instead, I was offered a voucher in case of cancellation. Should be disclosed before customer books! All cement and grass, no trees, no shade. Good size lot, picnic table. Wide "streets" and lots of traffic, all day, most of the night. Washrooms / showers are very large and have plain cement floors... somehow the set-up was so unappealing that I chose not to use. Large dogrun with grass in need of mowing. Good wi-fi Had to sign some sort of contract upon arrival, and initial all the conditions that would lead to my removal from the park. The worst paperwork ever, been RVing for many years. And after signing acceptance of all those endless rules, it became obvious very quickly that they are neither followed nor enforced. People were coming and going with plenty of noise, most of the night. Little sleep to be had. And people shouting and banging around again at six in the morning. Some "characters" observed early in the morning, coming through the park, as well as during the day. "Walking distance to shopping" may be so, but not a stretch one would want to walk with the crazy traffic. All in all, I'd only stay here if I had to ~ if I'm not able to find other accommodation.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Wood Lake RV Park and Marina; City: Lake Country Okanagan Valley British Columbia; Review: Stayed in the early off season. The park was still very busy. Sites are close together, have no privacy whatsoever, and generally speaking, the park is unkempt. Waking around the park, I noticed the same (small) garbage lying around day in day out, including a long stretch of toilet paper. Overall, the weeds (no, not around the creek, the weeds in general) could have done with some cutting, the dried leaves everywhere with raking and so on. At one end of the park were many tents, and also what seemed to be a whole lot of people living under a tarp. I assumed these to maybe be fruitpickers. Nothing wrong with that, just an odd assortment of clients, as at the other end of the park you'd find expensive big rigs. Strewn in between, obvious long-term residents. Lots are packed dirt with bits of grass around the hook-ups and here and there. The park seems to have a bit of an odd layout with sites this way and thataway, but most likely to get the most income out of the land. Sites are not cleaned after campers leave - we did not have a steady neighbor but people coming and going, so noticed that the fire pit was cleaned out and that was it. Speaking of fire pits... The smoke in this park is exceptional in that it seems to hang in, even right by the lake. I know people enjoy it, but it is rather unhealthy. The sites being so crammed and having no dividers (hedges.bushes) make the smoke worse. Dogs everywhere, but no designated dog area, so where do these dogs all "go"? the convenient dog park across the street is closing, and not a place you'd go in the dark anyway. Office staff was very pleasant. The swim area is tiny, but the beach itself is well maintained and clean. I cannot comment on washrooms or laundry facilities, as we did not use them. (had no desire to even look) No overnight noise that bothered us. Yes, the highway is right there and very, very busy during the day, and some vehicles are exceptionally noisy. That traffic dies down overnight. Kids during the day, partying until quiet time, that's all part of camping. We had no complaints in that regard, other than being treated to a conversation a few doors down that pretty much consisted of four letter words and pretend vomiting sounds. Not management's fault at all, but if there were noise barriers between sites one might not have to listen to that! Wifi: unacceptable. This day and age, there are no excuses for not having decent speed. No, not to stream, but to load regular pages at a proper speed, instead of waiting, reloading, waiting some more... come on!; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Burnaby Cariboo RV Park; City: Burnaby British Columbia; Review: Noise: TRAINS go by at all times, fast or slow, stop and go... it never ever ends. The tent camping spots are closest to the trains, but you're only marginally better off in your RV... the farther you get from the train, the better. FREEWAY runs by. FIRESTATION close by with sirens howling by at all hours. COPSTATION close by with sirens.... and lastly, RESIDENTS who go to and come from work at all hours and roar by your unit at night.. Spots: paved with grass around, very tight to get into, limited space and little chance of sitting outside. Picnic tables are provided and placed right next to the neighbors' sewer connection. Staff: nice. But one gets the feeling it's all about the money and nothing beyond. Facilities: totally outdated games room, semi-outdated overheated gym, nice hottub and pool. Grounds are well maintained, but beware of gardeners snipping and trimming without much consideration. Laundry room needs some updating. Wifi: stupid system that allows only limited access in a world that lives online. Seriously! Cleanliness: overall very good. Hottub sometimes foams which is not a good sign, and when the park is full, the washrooms/showers need more cleaning than once a day. There's NO garbage anywhere, ever, and debris, leaves etc get removed. Visitors: from world travelers who rent rvs and want to experience North America to residents who live in the park - there were some clashes noted, as the obvious differences in lifestyle and wellness cause unpleasantness on the residents'/workers' side that was disappointing to witness as it (hopefully) does not represent the attitude of our country. OVERALL this is not a bad place, but because of the noise alone I cannot rate it any higher. The Vancouver area is very expensive, and getting an RV spot close to town is not easy.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Portland Woodburn RV Park; City: Woodburn Oregon; Review: We have stayed at this park several times, with the same motorhome, and always with our dogs. Again on the way through, we made reservation for a one nighter, arrived late in the day after driving for many hours, and were now told our dogs were of an unwelcome breed. Had to argue and argue - and were finally allowed to stay for one night under the condition that the dogs would be taken out of the park for walks etc. So, if you're a dog owner please be sure to mention this when making your reservation. Some people working at this park may not like your breed, while others may tell you how gorgeous your pup is. Luck of the draw. Otherwise, one employee was plain stinking unfriendly, another one very welcoming, manager trying to keep the peace. Washrooms were clean enough. Lots of residential units. Not a destination.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Orange Grove RV Park; City: Bakersfield California; Review: we stay here on the way more south. It is ALWAYS extremely clean and tidy, the showers are spotless. The wifi is lightning fast and always working, how wonderful. Really appreciate this place, and also the u-pick free oranges in the fall/winter. Will be back for sure; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Eagle View RV Resort; City: Scottsdale Arizona; Review: This RV Resort is on the Ft McDowell Reservation, not in Scottsdale. It is right next to Fountain Hills which has all services you may need, or you can venture out into the big city. The Resort is plain. You park on asphalt, and in between spaces it's rough rock. Enough space to sit outside etc. They are very particular that you park your vehicle correctly, ie according to fire regulations, and I appreciate that. I also appreciate that there is zero tolerance for off-leash dogs. Yes, I have dogs. Wifi works sort of. Cable tv costs extra (not sure about short stays, it may be included) Never used the pool, there's always kids in there. Hot tub is hardly big enough for two people. Gym is a square cubbyhole with equipment crammed in, there's no room for people. Three persons on the cardio machines, one person on the weight station... and that's it. Sad, because the equipment is nice. Showers were a not-so-good experience. One look was broken and never repaired. Other ladies on the outside could not tell if the room was occupied, so it was careful trial and error. When the showers just ran ice cold and I went into the office after freezing my .... off, the girl at the front said they knew the water heater was not working. Wow. I suggested to put a sign on the door "out of order" or "no hot water" and was met with a blank stare. That's when I quit using their showers, and unloaded the one in our unit that was used for storage. "breakfast" is coffee and donuts. Hardly any street noise, but the park is full of residents that bang and slam their doors, start their noisy diesels that rattle and shake in their parking spots before the owners finally go to work. EARLY. During quiet hours. So with bad luck, you'll have one of these clowns as your neighbor and you won't sleep much. The howling coyotes and roaming wild horses make up for the shortcomings a bit. Getting a reservation here is very difficult. They have a bizarre system and most people seem to have to move several times during their stay. We are going back soon and it'll be interesting to see if anything has changed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Premier RV Resorts; City: Redding California; Review: Stayed here twice more than already reviewed, simply because it was convenient. No more. This is the most expensive RV resort we have stopped over in and not got any service. Yes, full hook ups indeed, and that's where it ends. Short office hours, and if you arrive late you're on your own with any problem, even if it's related to the park. One of the spots we were assigned was claustrophobically tight, the other one was better and more quiet. However, we can get better and less expensive service elsewhere.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Entered the pedestrian area, as you do on a motorbike.. (but is was a business trip) Asked a local couple with buggy if they knew an OK hotel with Wifi. got 2 pointers, entered Actum first, and made a deal with the receptionist: room, bxft, free safe parking for bike, wifi. I might have gotten the price down a bit more if I had tried, but the whole place felt OK and I took it at 80Euro/night. Room was very Good. It had 2 levels with small staircase, and window on South (I used that do dry some washed clothes). Checkin was complicated as receptionist had scanner/computer-trouble but he managed. No elevator (no big deal for me, good excercise, 3rd floor...). Receptionist lend me a bucket + cloth to wash the insects off the bike, always nice. Neighbour was an avid rider himself: had a good chat. Hotel is nicely themed: Rolls Royce and other cars. Room was big, but quite full with furniture and various "items", which I find sometimes confusing: I tend to loose and forget stuff in too-busy-stocked rooms.

But the (free, vouchered) wifi was over-subscribed…so no internet that night. I was too tired to go down to complain but preferred to fall asleep. This being a buger-king-rasthaus-style restaurant, I skipped breakfast and left early next morning. I caught up with wifi-internet at the next McCaffe. The whole package was ok-value for money, but I wouldnt recommend it. Non-working wifi is a big dissapointment. Future: Recommend to test the wifi in advance like in the old days...; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Mind Hotel Slovenija LifeClass Hotels Spa; City: Portoroz Slovenian Littoral Region; Review: Stayed here for conference. Excellent facilities. good room, good bed, good free wifi, good breakfast. safe parking for motorcycle. Overall very happy. Didnt have time to check the pool but facilties look excellent. Walk to Piran and enjoy the views and visit the old town. Or sit on balcony in evening nice sea-view.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Ljubljana; City: Ljubljana Upper Carniola Region; Review: Stayed in this hotel twice, once for conference and once for meeting friends. It is a high quality hotel, excellent spacious rooms, Good Beds, Good Wifi, Good Breakfast. safe underground parking (payable). not cheap but Good value for money. Nice view if you are high up. Great terrace to have a reception on top floor. lots of Shopping in walking distance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Best Western Hotel Dasing Augsburg; City: Augsburg Swabia Bavaria; Review: This is an OK hotel if you need a place to sleep. Stayed there twice on my way to/from Balkan. The rooms are good and clean. the beds are good. The parking is out-of-sight from through-traffic, and seems relatively safe for motorcycles. If you have the choice you can choose a room with view of the parking. Consider to skip Breakfast: it is 10E and limited selection. On 1st stay I had excellent wifi, on 2nd stay is was slow and sketchy. Evening-crew is 1 person, and reception is not manned overnight (on Saturday): dont go out without your keys!; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Velvet Hotel Restaurant; City: Suwalki Podlaskie Province Eastern Poland; Review: This hotel is located very much in City Centre, and has nice spa-facilities. Overall, the hotel feels new, modern, and comfortable. Staff speaks good english and is very helpful. After a day of mostly rain on a motorcycle, I was very happy to get into this very nice hotel. It was delicious to hear the rain outside while I was in the Jacuzzi and later comfortably in my bed. Parking can be on hotel-parking or even underground (I think there is a fee) The wifi is free, but is an old system with username/password per device (I carry multiple devices...), and it is a bit sloooow. Recepetion knows: Everyone complains, they will upgrade sometime in future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Rantapuisto; City: Helsinki Uusimaa; Review: In May 2016 I have attended a 2day conference here, with two nights stay. The service is what you expect from a meeting-place hotel. Staff speaks English. Buffet food is OK. There is ample parking (but not in immediate sight of reception). Wifi is Good, even when the place is busy. The really nice feature is the location, on the waterfront, with the Finnish Sauna next to the sea (and the hot tub, and the dips-in-the-sea, and a good place to just sit and contemplate the view with a drink… Bliss). In winter, you might be pleased to know that the remote building can be reached by tunnel, hence no need to go outside. For safe-motorcycle-parking, I was pointed to an inner-court, where the bike is parked in sight of some of the rooms. Good solution.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Rila Borovets; City: Borovets Sofia Region; Review: Early June 2016. This ski-resort-hotel was a good place to have a 3-day business-conference. The hotel Feels new and spacious (staff said: recently renovated). I got to the venue about half a day before everyone else, and had a good look at the hotel and had the spa and pool all for myself for an afternoon. The rest of Borovets looked very quiet, as it seems to live very much from the ski-season. Safe, guarded Motorcycle parking was not a problem. Friendly, English speaking, and very helpful reception. Room was spacious and clean. Very well equipped. Wi-Fi was good, but required repeated sign-in, this could be done better. The conference-area provided a better, more constant and 1-time-key Wi-Fi later on. Laundry service is prompt and good, but is at “western” prices. There are plenty of conference-rooms of various sizes, and they all seem well equipped. The (buffet) meals during the conference were Good. The bar-service (coffee during the day, drinks in evening) was expensive for Bulgarian-standards, but the coffee was good. Service can be a bit slow later in the evening when there is less staff. The Spa-facilities are Extensive and Excellent (although I was there in a quiet period, they may be quite crowded during ski-season) This hotel is located immediately at the start of a ski lift, and will be a very convenient ski-location in the snow-season.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Glasgow Marriott Hotel; City: Glasgow Scotland; Review: Stayed here two nights for a work-gig in Glasgow. Have stayed here before some years ago. The hotel is Exactly what you expect from a Marriott. I made my reservation via the marriott website, hence they knew I was a recurring customer, they even remembered my newspaper choice. Check-in (I didnt use the app) was smooth, staff was very friendly and helpful. The room is very much Marriott: not very big but very well furnished. Wifi was Free and good, but is probably limited to member of the loyalty program (I hate it when hotels charge, often extortionate, for wifi, but in expensive UK hotels that still happens) If you are Gold or better in their loyalty program, you can enjoy “the executive lounge”, which has free breakfast in the morning and snacks all day long (this year, I havnt got enough Marriott point to get those perks). I used the room to work remotely in the morning: you can ask for late checkout if you need, and they will probably accommodate that.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Victoria; City: Lublin Lublin Province Eastern Poland; Review: This City Centre hotel feels cozy. It has a nice, almost classic feeling about it, wihich gives it a certain warmth. Guarded Parking (free, or included with room) was safe for motorcycle. My room was quite large and comfortable, very clean, and with sufficient power-sockets (four) to charge all my toys at once. Excellent bathroom (I needed a good bath+shower after a hot day on the motorcycle) Good working wifi. Staff spoke good english, and was helpful in chosing room, parking, and explaining city-centre. As I wanted to leave early, I decided to not try the breakfast, but get on the road early to cover some distance before the Sunday-rush would start.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Leipzig; City: Plovdiv Plovdiv Province; Review: The hotel looks new-ish on the outside, but the interior is probably communist-legacy. The lively history city center is in Walking Distance. Reception speaks good English, and the Service is Friendly and Good. There is Safe (motorcycle) parking in view of reception. The rooms are possibly a bit dated, but clean and good, the black and red colors of the modern furniture is warm and cozy, room feels a bit dark because curtains are closed against the very warm sun (June). Bathrooms are well equipped (including a good dryer, if you want to dry hair or socks). The key-system takes a bit of getting used to: you insert the key horizontally in a socket to activate the electricity. Not easy to find if the light is off. The “Superior” room is highly recommended, especially if you want to sit and work as from a temporary office (I worked from my room for about 4 hrs on a Monday morning). The Wi-Fi was variable, but was ok in the morning and I could use it for work. Checkout time is 1200, but they will be lenient if you ask nicely. The cafe/terrace next-door is part of the hotel, and offers good Lounging experience, especially if it rains heavily outside. The terrace has possibly better Wi-Fi then the rooms. Breakfast can be a bit busy if there is a busload of tourists. Beware of the elevators: there are few elevators, and they are very slow. You can spend a lot of time waiting.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Park Hotel Latgola; City: Daugavpils Latgale Region; Review: Nice building in centre of city. I suspect late-communist-style. Rooms are large and comfortable. Reception speaks good English. Location is nicely in city centre and relatively lively on a weekend-night. Motorcycle parking for free in front of reception, safe, no problem. I noticed two other (vintage?) motorcycles. Room was spacious and clean. Wifi is good enough. I wanted to leave early and skip breakfast, but the friendly and understanding reception made sure that at 0600, there was a box waiting for me with ample food that I could either take out or eat in the bar. I choose to eat it in the bar (with one friendly-slightly-drunk, overnight customer still around), and I was also provided with several cups of coffee, made especially for me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Bellevue; City: Kranj Upper Carniola Region; Review: With looming Thunderstorms, and Kranj as destination for the next morning appointment, I searched the internet for a hotel. And Bellevue was a Great Find. I will probably use this hotel more often! This hotel is located on a hilltop, with nearly 360 degr Views. The steep and senic road to this hotel is also used by local fitness-fanatics to walk/run/cycle, and in winter is possibly a little risky in freezeing conditions. Beware. Check-in was ok, although one single person seemed to run reception and restaurant-duty and he was quite busy. Spoke little english but good German (near Austrian border). Motorcycle parking is on public parking outside, but the place is at the end of a very long and steep climbing dead-end road, so relatively safe. There was 1 other motorcycle-guest. Room was not brand new, but quite spacious, well equipped (dryer for washing socks) and perfeclty clean. Excellent bed and bedlinen. Beware: I dont think they have elevators - have to use stairs. Wifi was OK, worked in room, and also worked on the outdoor terrace-view area. Nice! Probably because of the unique view, this place has capacity for fairly large groups in the restaurant and on the outdoor patio (with some grass between the tiles). Seems like they have a playground for kids as well. I also was on time to order two evening snacks and some drinks while enjoying the Views (and the passing Storms, they just missed us). All good service and Excellent value for money. The breakfast is OK, and the breakfast-view will make you hesitate to go to work…; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Lagadin; City: Ohrid Southwestern Region; Review: A very nice, family run hotel, with their own private beach. Location is away from city centre, and therefore more quiet. Staff is very helpful and knowledgable. The building and furniture may seem a bit older but that only adds to the charm. They provide safe-motorcycle parking in closed courtyard. Room was Good and Clean. And good wifi. Staff also taught me a little about some of the local history and the local food. They grow their own kiwis: small but rich in taste (and worth a picture!). Evening view of the lake is spectacular: Ideal for a romantic getaway. If you want to hit the road early, they will happily open the breakfast earlier for you as well. Overal very good Service. Recommended Place! Do try the home grown Kiwis!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Olympus Terra Boutique Hotel; City: Giannouli Larissa Larissa Region Thessaly; Review: This place seems brand new (in May 2016), and is created with a lot of attention to detail. The whole place is near-Perfect. Nice, Clean, and very good Service. I needed a good hotel after a very long day on the motorcycle, including a visit to the Meteora (a must see!). And the OlypusTerra hotel popped up on my search. The hotel provides a safe, enclosed parking for the motorcycle. Staff speaks good english. My room was not particularly large, but Clean, nicely decorated, and Very Comfortable. Wifi is excellent throughout the hotel. Staff was very friendly. They didnt mind me doing some routine motorcycle maintenance in the parking, and they were very helpful in answering questions about the area. The hotel is in walking distance of the Giannouli town centre, which was quite lively on a Sunday, a good place to meet the locals. I tried some of the snacks from the hotel and the were excellent. Breakfast was also very good. And, as a good Boutique hotel should: there is a lot of attention to service and Detail. This hotel seems to be run by people who know their job and genuinely Like their business.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Wing Club Hotel; City: Jagodina Central Serbia; Review: This hotel is connected to the (footbal?) stadium, and there are restaurants and cafes just round the corner. The hotel seems quite new (in June 2016). Reception and other staff speak good english, and everyone is very friendly and helpful. Safe Motorcycle-parking was provided in a closed-garage. The rooms look brand-new, not very large, but well equipped and comfortable. Wifi was OK, and better in the morning. There is a meduim-sized shopping-area just around the corner, and the The actual city-centre is less then a km away, in safe walking distance. A brief evening snack in the hotel-restaurant was Excellent, but the retaurant was not very busy, there are many alternatives nearby. Breakfast was Fine as well. Due to work on the street, on the road and pavement, the exit from the garage was a bit difficult, but after this work, the place is going to look very good indeed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Eurostars Toscana; City: Lucca Province of Lucca Tuscany; Review: The Eurostars Toscana Hotel picked up the phone fairly late in the evening, after I had already tried several others in the area. It is located close to the Autostrada, in case you need easy access. Lucca itself is a very nice place to visit, and the leaning tower of Pisa is only 20min away. The hotel-webside had made a good impression, and the actual hotel was Exactly as expected: Clean, Efficient and friendly staff whow spoke good english as well.They offerend a safe motorcycle parking, in view of the 24hrs reception. Service is Equal or better to any modern business-hotel, wifi was functioning perfectly, and the room was modern and comforatble (picture). And at a very reasonable price, espcially for a walk-in customer who arrived at 2100. Breakfast was Very Good as well. The (filter-)coffee at the buffet was labeled "american coffee" but if you prefer "Italian" cappuchino: just ask for it. Checkout was efficient. I can recommend this place, for tourism and business alike. Evening-meal tip: try the Ristorante "La Griglia di Varrone". It is only 100m further walk then the MacD, and soo much better.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Saint Hubert; City: Saint Claude Jura Bourgogne Franche Comte; Review: Found the St Hubert while looking for local place to stay. Website was ok, Reception picked up promptly and reservation was Smooth. Parking is on (safe, visible, free) public-parking just in front of the hotel. Parking may be a bit busy if season is in full swing, but I had ample space in Sept. There were at least two other motorcycle-riders, judging by the parked bikes, but they left real early while I was working remotely. Check-in was smooth. Room was Clean and Good. Bed was excellent. The Shower was a little awkward: the bathroom is better equipped for bathing, not for vigorous showering. Wifi is a little ancient with printed one-time username/password, but is functioning fine. You may have to re-login once or twice, but the speed and bandwidth are good. The nr of power sockets in the room was limited (photo), but after a good search I managed to connect+charge all my gadgets. The Breakfast was Truly Excellent: a very wide choice of ingredients, including lots of fresh fruit, various types of ham, sausages and some nice cheeses. And Very Good Coffee! Like I said; Internet was good - I managed to work over VPN for 2+2 whole hours in the morning, including some tele-conferencing, with no glitches. Staff was easy on check-out as well, they didn’t rush me when I was still busy working. Would not hesitate to stay there again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Santa Maria; City: Bardolino Province of Verona Veneto; Review: Touring along the Garda-lake, looking for Wifi, coffee and something to eat. After many "non" or "nein" replies to the question "do you have wifi", I finally found one. The Santa Maria hotel+restaurant. It looks (and proabably is) a family-hotel and is proabaly family-run. I tried the Latte and the wifi: both good. The motorcycle was conveniently parked in front, visible from the terrace. I asked for something light to eat, then I realized they were just finishing up the lunch-shift. However, they suggested a ham-sandwich: and it was Excellent! (I ordered another one!) Spent about an hour there, enjoyed several Lattes and sandwiches. Recommended. (I might try staying there next time).; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Zum Goldenen Stern; City: Prum Rhineland Palatinate; Review: Found this hotel via the internet, as I usually do in the afternoon: finding a hotel over some wifi-connection while having coffee. The Reception of Zum Goldenen Stern picked up the phone, had a (single) room available, and booking was made inside 2min. This hotel is very nicely located in the city-centre of Prum. On the way to the hotel, I found part of the city was under construction, which confused my GPS. But you can just ask a friendly local and you'll find the hotel allright. You can safely park a motorcycle right in front of the hotel. And I wasnt the only guest to arrive by motorcycle that evening. Check-in was seamless, the room was Good and Clean. The wifi was working fine. I could have gone into town to find a place to eat, but the adjacent terrace (I think it belongs to the hotel) looked too inviting. There were a few other motorcycle-riders already enjoyin their evening. I had a very affordable and very good tasting snack and a few beers in the last light of day. Terrace also has excellent Wifi, btw. As a "special" this hotel has a lounge on the first floor where you can serve yourself a beer and sit inside or outside overlooking the town square. Very nice touch, feels like one of those Business-Lounges but much better located in a German Village instead of in a “business-chain-hotel” After a good night sleep, the breakfast was very good, and checkout was again very efficient. If you come to the area to ride a motorcycle over good-quality-Riding-Roads: get out early. Even at 0830, it was getting busy. But is is a very nice area to ride a motorcycle. On next stay, I want to arrive earlier in the evening as well, and have a look around the town. Especially when the street-work is done, this hotel should be very nicely located.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Villa Eur Parco dei Pini; City: Rome Lazio; Review: This hotel was recommended to me because it was located close to a client-office. The reservation via de website was efficient and correct. Price was surprisingly reasonable, possibly because my stay included a weekend. Road-access is easy, public transport may be a bit more complicated (no metro in walking distance).The hotel is located in an enclosed private park and has ample parking space, including a designated motorcycle/scooter parking. Reception-staff speaks OK-English and the bar in the lounge is open 24hrs. The bar serves good coffee too. Wifi is Good throughout the hotel (room, lounge, restaurant, everywhere) My room was recently refurbished, and was almost Perfect. Clean and spacious and good airco. Excellent bed, nice modern bathroom. TV was a very large screen that could double as an additional monitor to my laptop (bring a cable, foto). The High ceiling is a bonus in warm wether. The sunscreens help tokeep the room cool as well (dont forget to lower them when you leave in the morning) All in all an excellent stay. I can recommend this hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Island Hotel Istra; City: Rovinj Istria; Review: I stayed in hotel-Istra for a business-conference several times now, always at the tail-end of the season. We think the hotel uses our business-conference to extend its own season a week or two. The island is lovely, quiet and a slightly isolated place. But the punctual hourly ferry will pick you up at the terminal or at the village-waterfront. Parking for cars is arranged on-shore, elsewhere, and seems quite safe. A limited nr of motorcycles and scooters can be parked in view at the ferry-terminal. The hotel itself is modern and efficient. Most staff will speak English, and probably German and a few other languages as well. The Rooms are Clean, modern, very comfortable, and well maintained. Every room has a balcony and all have nice views. Wifi is excellent throughout, and the network can handle the load of a business-conference with several hundreds of attendees. The food of the all-In-formula is Good, and the restaurant always had a good selection, even when the hotel is half-empty. The Bar has excellent Coffee. There are some small shops in the hotel as well, for daily necessities and souvenirs. There are enough meeting-rooms of various sizes, although some of them can be a little warm when crowded. The bar-staff will server Excellent Coffee and drinks all day, and the (covered) terrace is a very nice place to sit and enjoy in any weather. The "castle" next door is an excellent party-area as well. Tip: Swimming in the bay is nice: Clear water and you can see the fish below.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Lord; City: Warsaw Mazovia Province Central Poland; Review: Stayed here for a business-conference. Reservation was done by the conference-organizers, but I extended with 3 nights to visit Warsaw on Sunday and to do remote-work on Monday and Tuesday. The hotel Wifi is fast and stable, quite suitable for remote working, but I did use a temporary office on Monday and Tuesday. Being in an office is always nicer then just working from “the room" Reception speaks good english. Parking is a safe, guarded, open-air parking with barrier (motorcycle can pass without problem, hence free motorcycle parking, as pointed out by reception. Thx!) Room was very good and Clean. Nice bathroom. And all relatively spacious. Iron+board are readily available at reception. Breakfast is Good, as you would expect in a hotel of this standing. We had one evening meal in the hotel, food and service were good. Tram to City-centre passes right in front of the hotel: very convenient, and only +/-25min tramride to central station and city-centre. Taxis are also quite affordable. Airport is nearby. I can recommend this hotel for business stays or events.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Esprit; City: Bratislava Bratislava Region; Review: This hotel was chosen based on an internet-map-search. I wanted a hotel in or near Bratislava, located on my way from Krakow to to Vienna. The reception was efficient in getting me reservation over the telephone. Finding the hotel was a little challenging, the parking is well hidden. Look for the Billa shop, then aim NE, but dont go on the main road. Anyway, by trusting the GPS coordinates, I got there. Once you are "there" and see the hotel-esprit sign, the entrace is over a walk-bridge. Very nicely done, but again, you have to "find" where the staircase starts. Nice touch though. Parking is relatively safe, in a secluded area nearby reception. And the city-centre is not far: a good 30min walk across the bridge (the real bridge). Check-in was smooth, and the hotel-interior looks very well designed. The inside of the hotel is a pleasant surprise: Modern, Clean, Efficient, and very nice. Excellent quality furnishing. Wifi was functioning, and the bedding was very comfortable. Had a very good night sleep, and from the location of my particular room, I did not hear the traffic on the busy road nearby. Breakfast is well-provided and in a nice setting, despite the view of the motorway. I can recommend this hotel for efficient stopovers.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Baranowski Hotel; City: Slubice Lubusz Province Western Poland; Review: On a motorcycle trip to Warsaw. Lots of rain when I crossed the border into Poland, and getting dark. Found Baranowski on the internet (from a nearby fuel-station). Reception spoke good english on the phone, and a reservation was made quickly. 15min later I was there. The hotel has a safe parking, motorcycle was parked in view of reception. Easy check-in, creditcard payment on arrival. The room was good and clean. The wifi was surprisingly fast. My evening meal in the restaurant was Tasty and service was good. Despite being close to a busy road, I didnt notice the noise, and had a good night sleep. Breakfast was OK and check-out was smooth. I can recommend this hotel for travellers on the move.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Amber Hotel; City: Krakow Lesser Poland Province Southern Poland; Review: This hotel was spotted for me by the assistant-next-door while I was working in Warsaw, exclaiming: “This one looks nice!”. The website looked promising, and the receptionist on the telephone was efficient in making a reservation. Finding the hotel in dark and rain at 18:00 was a bit of a challenge due to the busy traffic, the one-way system, and my Garmin not quite up-to-date. It is definitely close to city-centre. The hotel is very well furnished: Inside it looks Modern/Romantic (art deco?), very Boutique. Check-in was quick. I was lucky: the motorcycle could be parked on a public car-park-space nearby, which was free of charge as of 20:00, until next day 10:00. If you are by car: ask about parking, because the area does look quite busy. The hotel location is in walking distance of the historical centre, and I suggest you either walk or use the electric taxi-carts. Traffic seems always busy, and the one-way system confused my GPS the next morning. My room was very spacious and very well equipped with a sofa and a small desk. Sufficient powerplugs easily available (like!). Wifi was good and allowed for good remote-working, until some cable broke the next morning around 0900, supposedly due to the bad weather that day. Breakfast (early) was very good. All in all Excellent value, although it is possibly more expensive in-season. It was very tempting to stay on one more night to get a longer look at Krakow, but my schedule was a bit too full, and I preferred to move on towards my destination. But I will gladly return to Amber hotel one day. Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: PREMIER SUITES Birmingham; City: Birmingham West Midlands England; Review: For several years, I have used Premier apartments (now: called "Suites") in various cities, and will continue to do so. These apartments (suites…) provide more space and comfort then a similarly priced hotelroom, and are often excellent places to work from. In Birmingham, this place is located nicely within 10min walk of Nw St trainstation, and 15min walk of City Centre, quite convenient. If you travel by car: make sure you reserve a parking space though. After my latest stay in Birmingham, I do want to re-iterate two minor items of criticism: 1. The reception-desk opening times are liberal, but are still limited. If you arrive very late or want to check in real-early, that poses a problem (for which there is a work-around, but fairly clumsy). Also beware of the weekly pin-code-change, you need to get it from reception. 2. The "free" Wi-Fi is way too slow to be practical, which forces you to buy the "premium". I am of the opinion that good Internet should be free in a place like this. However, the apartments are Good, Clean and sufficiently Spacious. Reception is friendly and will do their best to help you –no criticism there. Furniture and bedding are OK (yes, it sometimes shows the years, but it is always Clean and Comfortable). And there are sufficient power-plugs for your gadgets. (tip for management: add a few US- and EU-style plugs, that makes it easier for guests who are short on adapters). You will also find an (all night?) shop next door for essential groceries, as well as a Chinese restaurant for eat-in or take-out. And as I said the location is very central, with Nw St, Bullring, Mailbox, the Canals and Broad St, anything you want is only a short walk away. Premier is almost always good base to work from if you are in Birmingham (or other cities). I have used these apartments many times and will not hesitate to return.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Select Hotel Apple Park Maastricht; City: Maastricht Limburg Province; Review: Apple park hotel was my base for working in Maastricht a few times. After checking the website, making a reservation by phone was easy. The hotel provides paid-parking, but if you are early, there are plenty of free parkings just south of the restaurant as well. If you ask nicely, they let you park a motorcycle in front of the hotel, safely in sight of the all-night reception. The rooms are Good, with excellent beds and bathrooms, and small desk you can work from. I’ve stayed in both comfort and exec-rooms, but found the difference not that significant. The restaurant is Good, but not cheap. Wifi is a bit slow, and they know it. it will hopefully improve over time. The breakfast is sufficient, but could be a little better, given the ambition of the restaurant. The executive-lounge is a nice idea, but it is not (yet) at the level of “lounge” you get from, say Marriott-gold-level where they often offer (free) breakfast and snacks in the exec-lounge. Locations is slightly off centre, but the city-centre (and trainstation) is only 20-30min walk away, and with the work on the tunnel finished that walk will be come even easier and nicer.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Holiday Inn Express Lisbon Av Liberdade; City: Lisbon Lisbon District Central Portugal; Review: Spent 3 nights working + visiting Lisbon. This HI-Express is conveniently located near the main Avenue and in walking distance of the office (near Cp Pequeno, 3km) and near historic centre (1km). And in Lisbon, you are virtually guaranteed Good weather, and it is a pleasure to walk everywhere. Transport to/from airport can be done by Metro (1 change) or metered taxi (very short ride, not expensive). The hotel is located in a nicely renovated old building, in a relatively quiet street just off the Av de Liberdade where all the luxury shops are. The suroudings are nice, very well maintained, clean, safe. Check-in was efficient. The hotel is in good upkeep, it looks (and is) nice and clean and well-maintained, both inside and out. For an “Express”, the room was surprisingly spacious. Excellent quality. Including a work-desk. You may ave to search a bit for wall-sockets if you want to charge more then 2 gadgets. Wifi was Good throughout the stay (password-based, but you get access for up to 6 devices). Breakfast seems included in all rates, breakfast is good, but it basic (no eggs?). Late-checkout was possible, and checkout was efficient. All in all a Much Recommended Hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Crowne Plaza Lille; City: Lille Nord Hauts de France; Review: On a one-day work-gig in Lille. Not my first time there either. The Crowne-Plaza in Lille is situated right across from the Eurostar/Thalys/TGV trainstation. However, I arrived by motorcycle (more fun than the train). The reception crew was Very Helpful on check-in (they noticed me having a large balance of Prio-points, going back 20yrs, that may have helped). For the motorcycle, they provided a small closed-off Moto/Scooter parking for me (at no charge). Larger groups of motorcycles will have to use the public moto-parking of the trainstation (also free, and safe with CCTV coverage, but out in the open). Tip: If you are a solo-rider: Ask if the hotel can provide moto-parking. Check-in was Efficient, and as a prio-club member I got an exec-room on 10th. Room was Excellent, clean, spacious, comfortable, and good value. A good desk to sit/work and in my case, surprisingly OK Wifi (not fast, but stable, and VPN-tolerant - above average for french hotels). City centre is in safe walking distance. Breakfast is not cheap, but it is Very Good! Recommended. If you want to work from the room, ask for a late checkout: was not a problem. Checkout was efficient, and very All in all possibly one of the better CP hotels in France, and definitely a recommended hotel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Marina Club Hotel; City: Gdansk Pomerania Province Northern Poland; Review: This hotel came up when searching for a place to stay in Gdansk. Reception was efficient when I made my booking by phone late in the day. They speak English and/or German. The location was easy to find and this hotel is situated very nicely on the waterfront. The motorcycle could stay on the pavement next to the entrance-staircase. For cars, there will be a parking charge. The hotel didnt seem very full, and as I had made a very late-reservation, I got a nice deal on a West (water)facing room with kitchenette and lots of space on the ninth floor. Very Nice room, with very nice view. The Wifi was good, and sleep quality was excellent. The restaurant looked promising, but I didnt try it for dinner. Breakfast was early and Excellent though. Checkout was efficient. The one possible, very minor, point of criticism: there seem to be only 2 rather slow elevators. In busy times, if you are impatient, choose a lower-floor and take the staircase. When working or visiting Gdansk, this looks like a very good place to stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Anele s B B; City: Kaunas Kaunas County; Review: When travelling through the Baltics, I have stayed at this B and B twice already, and I suspect I will return again. The family that runs this place is very friendly and helpful. Reservations are easy: just call. The location is conveniently close to the airport, I could walk that distance with my trolley and my backpack. There is a safe parking next to the house or around the back. They even offer long-term parking if you are departing from Riga airport. The rooms are good, comfortable, spacious and Spotlessly clean. Beware: wifi-internet can be a bit slow at times. Beds and bathrooms are excellent. I did not hear any planes at night. Breakfast is excellent. and served in a family-kitchen style. A Highly Recommended place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Horda Hotel; City: Slubice Lubusz Province Western Poland; Review: I made an extra effort to ride all the way into Poland to get the better deal on Price/Quality ratio, and hotel Horda did not disappoint. Reception speaks English (and German), and was efficient in taking my telephone-booking from a noisy Autobahn parking. The hotel Horda is easy to find and has good, safe parking for cars and motorcycles. The room was Clean and sufficiently large to be comfortable. Bed + Bathroom were of good quality, the wallpaper looked a bit dated but contributed to the whole “cosy” atmosphere. The wifi is good. The number of wall-sockets was limited, but I carry my own power-distribution device with 2x 220V and 2xUSB sockets, often comes in very handy (picture) After an Excellent sleep, the Breakfast was Good and checkout was efficient. I can definitely stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Riu Pravets Resort; City: Pravets Sofia Region; Review: Speaking at a business-event. And this year’s Bulgarian “spring conference” was in Hotel Riu, Pravets. The organizers of this event seem very good at negotiating the most Excellent hotels and venues, and this one was one of the very best. We were totally spoiled. The booking was done via the conference. Check-in was efficient, although no covered parking for the motorcycle. parking. I always ask if there is a “covered parking”, but reception was unclear about this and I didnt insist. The hotel-parking, although open-air, seemed safe enough, and the bike will not melt from rain or sunshine. She stood faithfully in the parking lot for 2.5 days, but I did a regular “visual check” of my baby. The room was very Spacious, spotlessly clean and well furnished. Plenty of power plugs. OK Wifi (internet was a bit sluggish after 250+ geeks switched on their devices). View over the lake was beautiful. The hotel corridors are long, large, and well designed and give an air of opulence, luxury. I did not try the spa-facilities, but they looked Excellent. A walk around the lake is a nice 1 hour stroll. Views of the mountains are stunning, especially if you hapen to observe a thunderstorm. Breakfast was Excellent, large choice. Coffee is OK. Throughout the conference, the provision of coffee was also ok-ish. The lunches and dinners (buffets) were good throughout, with an ample choice of dishes and ingredients. Laundry was 24-hrs (next day service) and was good value, I had my clothes cleaned for the next motorcycle-trip. Drinks and snacks at the bar were W-Europe prices, but not exorbitant. All in all a very pleasant experience, and I can recommend this hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Simfonia; City: Ramnicu Valcea Valcea County Southwest Romania; Review: Simfonia was a typical quick-google-find: I had been dodging rain-showers with moderate success all day, and really needed a hotel. Searching in a fuel-station-with-wifi brought up this promising place, and it was a very good find indeed. The location is just outside city-center, but in my opinion: walking distance of center. Reservation by phone was quick and easy, and 20min later I was smoothly checked in. The hotel is located right next to a police station, which gave me a safe feeling when parking the motorcycle. The Hotel did have an underground parking, and they offered me a space there as well. The room was Spacious, clean, and very nicely decorated. Someone spent a lot of time and attention into the decoration. Apparently, each floor has its own theme as well. Wifi was working good, and bed+bathroom of good quality. The city center is just 5min walking distance, but I was too ltired or too lazy to go check it. Staff if rightly quite proud of the hotel, and the receptionist will warmly recommend the kitchen “It is Amazing…” Lazy as I am after a long day of riding, I ended up having dinner in the restaurant. And it was Fine: Good Food, well prepared, and prompt, correct service. Recommended. Breakfast next morning was good, with ample choice of food and good coffee. Checkout was correct and smooth. All in all a very pleasant hotel, some would say “Amazing”. And Excellent value for money. Warmly recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Djerdap Kladovo; City: Kladovo Central Serbia; Review: After riding along the Beautiful Dunav River, This hotel provided a good place to east and sleep. Reservation took a bit of patience when the first person to answer the phone tried to find an English-speaking person. But in the end, all was clear: they had room-availability, they had a motorcycle-parking, and they had wifi. Checking was relatively smooth, and the receptionist picked a key from the desk in front of him. A real key attached to a large room-nr-plate. The motorcycle could be left right in front of the hotel. The room was old-fashioned but spotlessly clean. The in-room telephone was a nostalgic rotary-dial model (Iskratel?). The bed was slightly creaky, which just added to the charm of the place. Shower and toilet were slightly old-fashioned, but clean and functioning. The elevators are indeed a bit slow, but I tend to take the staircase, especially on the way down. The halls and corridors look clinical, but again: Clean (pictures). Hungry, curious, and a little lazy, I had dinner in the restaurant, and was pleasantly surprised by both the food and the service: Excellent. Dont be fooled by the old-fashioned uniforms: these guys know what they do! I took a short walk around the area as well, and despite the somewhat “concrete” looks, this town is nice and lively, with people enjoying a nice Friday-evening with some food and drink on streetside cafes and restaurants. If you are into history: The statue in front of the hotel seems to be Vuk Karadic (google…) Sleep was excellent, despite the creaky bed, Breakfast was OK, and checkout was smooth. My total experience of this hotel was Excellent. The somewhat old building has a special charm of its own. And the staff is very friendly and helpful, and they seem to really make an effort. Highly Recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: All Seasons Residence Hotel; City: Sofia Sofia Region; Review: I wanted to stay in the Boyana area, and I knew this place was being built 1 yr ago, so I went to see it. On walk-in on a Sunday afternoon they had a room available and it turned out to be a very Good Find. Price was a bit on the high side, but given this was Sofia, and a nice area of the city, the overall value was still good. There is a private parking, so the motorcycle was safe overnight. My room was large, more spacious than an average hotelroom, and very well furnished. Bed, Desk, and bathroom were modern and good quality. The Wifi was Excellent. For food and snacks you can either use the restaurant itself or walk around the touristy area and try some of the other places. Taxi to city-centre is less then 20 BGN, and because of the tourist-frequented area, there are plenty of taxis to hail. Breakfast is served from a menu and was Good (picure of full english), with Excellent strong coffee. I used the room as a remote-office for the Monday and had a brief look around the area again. The park across the road also has a good Wifi hotspot. On Tuesday, I worked part of the morning and got a smooth and efficient checkout. I will return next time I have to work in the Sofia area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel President; City: Zlatibor Central Serbia; Review: Hotel president looks cozy from outside, is comfortable from inside. Booking by phone was easy, although reception hesitated a somewhat on the “little English”, but she was quite clear: I had a room waiting for me. The location of the hotel is very nice, on a hill above Zlatibor, but other, larger hotels seem to get built up rapidly in the vicinity. As last-minute (phone)booking, I got an “apartment” at a discount. This gave me a good desk to work from, lots of space in two rooms, a sofa, two TVs, and two balconies even. Nice! There is a private parking just in front of the hotel. Wifi is Good. I could have participated in the evening-meal, but declined: I had already eaten some, and didnt want to stuff myself again. The food looked good though and I did have a coffee and a bear from the bar. Sleep was excellent: good bed and mountain air. Breakfast was OK, and checkout was smooth. I can recommend this place, especially if you prefer smaller, family-run hotels over the larger “chain” hotels that seem to mushroom all over Zlatibor now.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Boutique Hotel Fortuna; City: Poprad Presov Region; Review: My general direction and timing for that day would bring me in the Popgrad area, and I fond “Fortuna” via the internet. It looked just right for me. The place did not Disappoint. Reservation by phone, about 1 hr before arrival, was done mostly in German. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Parking is right in front, on the quiet village square. The hotel has a “dependency” across the road and that is where I got my room. Wifi was good: I even had the room (at the top of the building) with the router in it. I had a walk around the old village and because of “museum night”, the local museum was open. Small but interesting. Check the story about the city-walls. I also had an evening meal in the hotel-restaurant. Because I was not very hungry, I explained I would like to have just two starters, and some beers and enjoy eating it in the covered outdoor seating. The Receptionist/waiter and the cook understood, and made me some excellent dishes, visibly prepared with a lot of attention to detail. I suspect they run a very nice restaurant as well. Strongly Recommended. Room, Shower, bed: All good. Perfect night sleep. note: no lifts, beware if you dont like winding staircases. Breakfast was Good, checkout was smooth. I can definitely recommend the place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Van der Valk Leusden; City: Leusden; Review: I needed to stay in Amersfoort for work, and could not find city-center accommodation anymore. The VdValk hotel was a sure-quality thing, but very much outside of center. Reservation (by phone) was easy, the price was fair, but not cheap. Parking is free and feels safe. Check-in was smooth. The key-system is special: little magnet?. The architecture of the building is also special, with several corners and zigzag-corridors to get to your room, Nice. My room was Large with a desk to work from and a S-W facing balcony to sit on. The bathroom was also spacious with both a bath and a shower and a huge stack of towels. Room felt nice, comfortable, with furniture reminding me of 80s/90s. Bed was Excellent, provided a good sleep. You can take the bus into town, but if you take a late-evening taxi back: expect to be driven all around Amersfoort. Wifi was good enough to work from. Breakfast was a bit rushed at 0900 (was I late?) and they seemed to be wrapping up already. The choice of breakfast-items was good, but not as large as in some of the large VdValk hotels. Check-out was smooth and efficient. All in all, I can recommend this hotel for business stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Gut Lauterbad; City: Freudenstadt Baden Wurttemberg; Review: Found via a google-search, this hof is located nicely on a quiet (dead end?) road. There is ample, safe, parking. Checking was smooth, and the room was nice and clean. Wifi signal was Good, but speed it not very fast. Wifi is possibly better in the room than in the restaurant or on the front-terrace. once you sit down, the waitress will ask and make sure you have your beer and food, and will check often if you need anything more. I had a little, light food and a few beers. As mentioned, Wifi seemed better once I got back to the room. Breakfast next morning was OK, checkout was a bit slow due to “the machine”, but in the end they accepted a MasterCard payment. Ca$h might have been a lot faster.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Crowne Plaza St Petersburg Airport; City: St Petersburg Northwestern District; Review: Got invited to speak at an event held at this hotel. There is an Airport Shuttle, which is very convenient. Walking was just a little too far, and taxi’s don’t like small distances. Check-in was Easy, they even had my Prio-Club-nr, even though the booking was made via the organizing committee. I got a very nice corner-room on 8th floor with a Great View, and access to the club-lounge. Breakfast can be done in the club-lounge, but downstairs breakfast is much more elaborate - Recommended. The lounge-bar is open till 0100, and we have used it as such. The hotel is spacious, and the conference-area is well equipped. A taxi ride to city-center is approx 40min, and make sure the driver is using the meter. Throughout my stay, hotel personnel from reception, bar, breakfast and lounge were very helpful: They are well trained and make a real effort to help customers feel at home. Checkout was Efficient, as was the Airport-Shuttle. Recommended for Conferences or Business-stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Bastion Hotel Zoetermeer; City: Zoetermeer South Holland Province; Review: I’ve used Bastion hotels many times in the past, so I knew what to expect. Telephone-reservation was easy. The quoted price was on the high-side. My ex-employer had a better deal, but that is several years ago. Location is easy to find, parking is free. Check-in was ok, room was clean, bathroom was OK (no problems), wifi was working. The desk in the room is a little small to work from, but I knew that. Sleep quality was good; I did not hear the nearby motorway or trainline. Breakfast was OK, standard-bastion, and checkout was efficient. Tip: if you dont like the hotel-breakfast (it is a bit basic), the macD next door is a cheaper alternative, but you still get what you pay for.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Ibis Styles Rastatt Baden Baden; City: Rastatt Baden Wurttemberg; Review: That evening, I needed a hotel with good wifi to do some remote-work both in evening and in the next morning. Finding a local B+B proved a bit difficult, not in the last place because I started my search a little too late and could not find a good wifi-place to search the Internet. I took the safe-choice: Ibis, part of the accord chain. Reservation over the phone was easy: they had enough availability. Checking was easy (I am in the accord loyalty program as well). Motorcycle parking in front of the hotel was Easy. As is mostly the case with a solo-travelling motorcyclist, I was allowed to leave it just there, in front of reception and covered by CCTV. The room was Good, clean, effiicient. The wifi was working good enough. I did my work-job, and had a quick beer in the restaurant. I did not go out, so I didnt really benefit from the nice, central location of the hotel Breakfast was good, as expected. Checkout was efficient. I can recommend this hotel, and I will consider using it again when I ride the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Nowotel Stop and Sleep; City: Zgorzelec Lower Silesia Province Southern Poland; Review: As usual, on my way east, I sprinted through Germany to find a better-value hotel in Poland. Nowotel did not disappoint. Reception spoke good English, and a booking over telephone was easy. Thx to the short tip: “We are behind fuel-station-Orlen", it found it quickly even at night. Safe parking: Apparently there is an all night guard and a 24hr receptionist. The parking is also covered by CCTV. Check-in was efficient. Room was Clean, Wi-Fi worked fine. The hotel has permanent complimentary coffee, tea and water. Breakfast was basic but very much OK and checkout (mastercard) was efficient again. I have used this hotel again on my return-journey - Good Value.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Novotel Katowice Centrum; City: Katowice Silesia Province Southern Poland; Review: Found this hotel after 1000 km ride from Croatia into Poland. Reservation was made by phone while riding through Czechia, and a polite receptionist promised a safe motorcycle parking in view of reception. The hotel is Good. It has the Novotel Quality about it: Clean, Spacious, Hospitable, and even though the building and its interior may be getting a little old, it is well kept and in good condition. Room was spacious and clean. Wifi was working fine. Breakfast was Excellent. Checkout was efficient. All in all a Good Hotel. My main glitch was: Despite enough “visible space”, the security-guard would not allow parking the motorcycle in view of reception. I had the strong impression he didnt like me nor my motorcycle. So despite the promise during the phone-reservation, the guard Insisted that I would park the motorcycle 100+m away on some dubious parking lot. I was not quite convinced there was oversight or cameras, but the “officer” was un-wavering. I really didn't like the parking, and I seriously considered walking away but the prospect of having to re-search another hotel late in the evening was too much. I took the risk of leaving the motorcycle with two alarms activated. I did not sleep that good, but the next morning the motorcycle was still there. However, with such treatment, I probably will not return, at least not with a motorcycle.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Gasthof Falkenstein Metzgerei Schwaiger; City: Flintsbach Upper Bavaria Bavaria; Review: Found this Gasthof via google when searching for a place to sleep near Austria, notably as I did not want to enter Austria yet to avoid the need for 2 vignettes on this trip. Flintsbach is a lovely village just at the entrace tot the Alps. There was even a sign on one of the houses: “Hufschmied seit 1390” (Blacksmith/Farrier sinds 1390… wow) The hotel is very nice, with a restaurant and a butcher attached to it. I was lucky: my 1-person-room appeared to be a complete little apartment in a building across the street. Spacious and very comfortable There was safe motorcycle parking in front and next to the hotel. Check-in was smooth. The Wifi was a bit of a puzzle (Ask if you have problems!) but was working in the end. The restaurant still served an execllent meal and a few local beers. I had a really good night sleep. Breakfast was Good, and checkout was smooth. Recommended place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Gasthof Pension Popolari; City: Faak am See Carinthia Austrian Alps; Review: To save a day on my “Slovenia Vignette”, I wanted to sleep one more night in Austria, and I found Popolari to be an Excellent choice. The reservation was made by phone and I arrived 30min later. The Gasthof is easy to find, and has plenty of parking in front. There is also a large garden lawn behind the property where I could just catch the very last rays of the October-sunshine. The Room was Excellent, and the wifi worked fine. Over dinner I found that the restaurant is well frequented by locals, and the food is Excellent. After a good night sleep, there was a nice breakfast and a smooth checkout. Recommended Gasthof.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Warsaw Marriott Hotel; City: Warsaw Mazovia Province Central Poland; Review: This hotel was the venue for a conference where I participated and was the logical choice to stay. The hotel is Conveniently across from central train station and Srodmiescie metro station, it has several shopping areas nearby and the old-town is less then 30min by foot. Excellent location in Warsaw. Note that they will not allow motorcycles in front of the hotel, but rather want you to pay a hefty amount for a “car park” spot. You can try find some moto/scooter parkings nearby, notably on Nowogrodzka but Beware: Poland is not always tolerant of Motorcycles on pavements, and I am not sure of the policy for overnight-parkings either. In my case, I left the motor for six nights with a friend some 40min away by train. Reservation was done via the marriott.com website. When I arrived a little early, I was offered Lounge-Access (I have the points) to facilitate the wait. The room was Excellent (very Marriott) and quite high with a nice view of the city. The Wifi was surprisingly good, even during a busy conference. I had all my breakfasts and several evening meals in “The Lounge”, which was Excellently stocked and attended. And like many others, I had to take a “breakfast picture” from the lounge with the impressive view of the Place-of-Culture (a.k.a. The Rocket). Checkout was smooth, with correctly separated bills (as requested) for lodging and food+drinks. Recommended hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: The Hague Marriott Hotel; City: The Hague South Holland Province; Review: Having stayed at this hotel several times, I Liked it. The check-in has generally been smooth, efficient and friendly. The rooms are of the expected (Marriott-)quality, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. If you are lucky enough to be in the “rewards” program, you will find that the lounge on 9th floor is Excellent, with a nice view of the city and the coast. The Wi-Fi throughout the hotel is OK, it is sufficient and stable for normal work (over VPN). The kitchen here knows how to do a proper eggs-benedict for breakfast (ask for it), always a good sign. The Location of this hotel is very convenient, right in between some major Intl. institutions. Attractions like Museon, Madurodam, “de Fred” (classy shopping), and some parks and viewpoints are all just around the corner in less then 10min walk. Both City-centre (walk eastwards) and the harbour+beach areas of Scheveningen (walk westwards) are in 30min walking distance and you will enjoy the walks (if raining: use tram). Note that this hotel is (motor)cycle-friendly: Parking is “paid” for cars, but with a motorcycle you can bypass the barriers and you can park in the safe scooter-bicycle-personnel parking in the back. Point of improvement: the downstairs-breakfast can be a little overrun when, during summer-holidays, there are busses of tourists staying. Please provide enough coffee (in pots) to avoid embarrassingly-long queues at the coffee machines. The staff are all Professional and Friendly, but Special mentions go to Jaap who runs an excellent Lounge on 9th floor, and to Michael at the front desk who was able to help me on several occasions with paperwork and questions. All in all: Recommended hotel in The Hague.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Holiday Inn Express Utrecht Papendorp; City: Utrecht; Review: Stayed here 1 night for business. Parking is free (I think) in a covered and cctv-guarded basement under the hotel and adjoining offices. For a motorcycle, entrance is free, and the parking feels quite safe. Check-in was smooth, and reception warned the “foreign” guest that the breakfast was basic (very dutch, so no extensive cooked breakfast, some guests might be disappointed, but the breakfast overall was quite good). The location is in an office-park, so be prepared to use bus or taxi to get into the city. There is 1 other restaurant in walking distance and I am not sure how good that would be. Dinner in the hotel is served from a limited menu until 22:00. Not cheap but it was OK, No criticism. Room was relatively large for a HI-Express. Wifi was Excellent. Bed was comfortable, shower and facilities were in Excellent condition. There was even a small desk in the room. Had an Excellent night sleep, and the breakfast was quite good. Checkout was quick and easy, even on a Friday. All in all a good and recommend hotel if you have to stay in that area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Bastion Hotel Almere; City: Almere Flevoland Province; Review: After two stays in this hotel, I can recommend it. Reservation via the website is simple. The hotel is easy to find from the motorway, although not touristy, not anywhere near a “city centre”. The location is convenient for the business-park and the sports-centre nearby. I recommend you go by car. public transport is probably not very effiicient in that corner of the city. Parking is free, and safe, and there is a lot of space available (useful to know for busses and trucks). Check-in was generally efficient, Reception was always Friendly. Rooms are Good, standard-Bastion. For evening meal: I recommend the Sateh-Frites or just a snack at the bar. Sleep quality is good (Bastion bedding) Wifi was always OK. I generally pass up on the breakfast: it is good, but expensive for what is on offer. Bastion seems to have increased their breakfast-prices recently. All in all I can recommend this hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Bastion Hotel Leiden Oegstgeest; City: Oegstgeest Leiden South Holland Province; Review: If you need a (budget) hotel near Leiden, this is your choice. The hotel is right off motorway A44, and near the RoyalFloraHolland is in walking distance. I have stayed there several times now, and all my experiences were Good. Reservation via the website is the most efficient way (and cheaper than phone or walk-in). Reception is always friendly, although sometimes under-staffed (a common Bastion problem: generally very few staff on site). The rooms are Good, Bastion Quality. Wifi is generally good. Food: You can order from the standard “Bastion menu”. I can recommend the Sate-frietes for a meal, or the wings for snack. Rooms are good. Standard Bastion. Mostly 2-single beds per room. Parking is still free (sometimes a bit busy), and the parking seems safe enough to leave a motorcycle with cctv and automatic lights. Breakfast is not cheap but is OK-value, and if you want cheaper: there is a MacD on the next motorway-exit. All in all a recommended hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Ibis Budget Rotterdam The Hague Airport; City: Rotterdam South Holland Province; Review: Needed a simple Hotel near Rotterdam, with moto-parking. Ibis provided an excellent option. Reservation via the website was easy even just an hour before arriving (club-accord rate gave me the illusion of saving a few euros). On arrival, The hotel appeared fully booked, but hey, I had my reservation nr. I probably had taken the last room. Lucky me. Reception was friendly and efficient. The evening-meal options are limited, but you can get a nice pizza or a sandwich. And a soda or a cold beer. The room was small but Nice, and the bathroom was surprisingly spacious for such a small room. Bed was Excelent. The room has ample power-plugs for laptops and phones, and the wifi was quite good. For an airport-hotel, the sound-proofing seems excellent: I did not hear a single plane and had an excellent night sleep. Breakfast was limited choice, but Excellent quality. The hotel looks brand new, and everything is in tip-top shape. The paint-theme is nice too: go see! Parking: limited space and expensive for cars (as you expect on an airport). And even with a motorcycle, if you want to park/leave “officially” they want to sell you a parking-space. But if your motorcycle is not too wide, you can circumvent the barriers, and park next to the pedal-bicycles. Tip for mananagement: Please just tolerate scooters and motorcycles. It is so much more Friendly and more “Esprit Francaise” to allow two-wheelers to park for free. Just make sure there remains a convenent Bicycle+motorcycle exit that would be great. Merci Beaucoup. My overall rating: Excellent! for allowing me a last-min booking at a good rate.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Grand Poet Hotel by Semarah; City: Riga Riga Region; Review: Stayed in this hotel for an event in Riga. Reservation was done for me by others, but check-in was Smooth. Parking of a motorcycle in front of the hotel, across the street was possible, but if you prefer: there is a nearby underground parking as well. The Room was Perfect. The Wi-Fi was Good. Breakfast is Excellent, and the bar is Fine. Laundry service is available and is good, but is not cheap. Checkout was easy and smooth. All in all a very nice addition to the Riga hotel market. Recommended.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Miraj Resort; City: Lucenec Banska Bystrica Region; Review: This place has Great Potential. Booking via telephone was do-able, reception speaks english and managed to find an available room (via computer?). The place is very easy to find, it is very visible from the main roads North of Lucenec. The reception is “behind” the hotel, but when I first entered via the restaurant, the personnel was able to point me to reception. From the looks of it, the place is still expanding and they seem to be building an even bigger water-park right next to it. Looks promising. Check-in was smooth, although there is a bit of queuing when other guests had lots of questions about bathrobes or spa-facilities. But the place was not very busy on a Saturday in June. My room was Spacious and functional. You will find the whole hotel is relatively new and spacious. A comfortable place to stay. Be careful, sometimes the layout is confusing and it is easy to get lost looking for bar or reception. The spa is “extra” with a rate of 8E per 2 hrs (but that may vary depending on your booking or package) Bar and restaurant were open in the evening, but not very busy yet. Breakfast was Good, and checkout was ok, although the person in front of me had some details to sort out with the bill, which took quite some time. I agree with some of the other reviewers on “service”, the Staff is friendly and has good intentions, but they seem to lacks training, routine and experience. But all in all this place has Good Potential.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Villa Antonina; City: Sopot Pomerania Province Northern Poland; Review: Excellent holday place in Sopot. Just away from the Centre. Reservation made via the website, and confirmed by mail. I had to be in Sopot for several days of work-meeting and this Villa was near, and looked good. It was Nice! Parking of the motorcycle was relatively safe (but outdoors, and accessible for public) Tip for motorcycle-riders: possibly ask if you are allowed to park behind the closed gate. Reception is manned 24/7. Check-in was easy, payment by card was not a problem. The room was a small apartment: Very Nice ( I should have made a few pictures). It had a cosy living-area, a spacious bedroom with an Excellent bed, and a good bathroom. The fridge is stocked with a few drinks: complimentary! Breakfast was Excellent each day, and if you ask for espresso will get excellent coffee. Staff was friendly and helpful. Checkout was smooth. Recommended place!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Apartmany Lomnica; City: Velka Lomnica Presov Region; Review: On a motorcycle trip eastwards, I visited friends who stayed here. During the afternoon, I tried to call the office to try and make a reservation, but the phone was not answered. From booking-sites I could see they had availabliltiy, and it was definitly outside of the main holiday season. As I arrived late, with rain looming, there was a receptionist, and he could offer me an apartment with breakfast for about double(!) the price on booking-dot-com. The extra cost was for the cleaning, which was apparently only sideways mentioned on the web-booking-sites. Clever, but sneaky. Since I did not have much choice, I took the booking at the walk-in price. The room (a nice apartment) was Great: clean and spacious with a kitchen provided as well. Furniture, bathroom, beds: All good quality. Wifi was Very good - Compliments! Parking was outdoors, so set both alarms on the motorcycle, and next morning : wipe the water off the seat before mounting on the bike. Breakfast next day, starting at 0700 was ok, allthough it could have been better for that price. I can recommend the place, if you can make your booking at the right price, and if you can live with (or avoid) the so-called cleaning-charge.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Mercure Poznan Centrum; City: Poznan Greater Poland Province Central Poland; Review: On the way home from a conference/party in Sopot, I needed a place to work from. And Poznan seemed like one of those less-known but Interesting places to visit. Found the Mercure via google: Locations looked good. Reputation of Mercure is OK. Let’s try it. Reservation via internet was quick, (I’m in the Accor program). Finding the location was easy (West of Centre, GPS helped). Check-in was Smooth, and parking of 1 motorcycle in front of hotel is free and safe (and you can easily bypass the parking-barriers on a motorcycle). The Room was Brilliant (in US jargon: a Junior-suite, being in the accord program may have helped). Important: The Wifi was Good. Breakfast was one of the best I had in Poland (and they were all good). The French touch was visible in the abundant choice of high-qualithy food. Honorable Metions for the Juice Press and the Excellent Coffee. Room service snacks were also good. I’ve extended the stay to two nights partly because of work, partly to see Poznan, and partly because this was a Very Comfortable place to stay. Higly Recommende. Will return on trips through Poland.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Fraenkischer Gasthof Lutz; City: Giebelstadt Lower Franconia Franconia Bavaria; Review: After a day of touring around between Wurzburg and Rothenburg with some friends, we ended up having a meal at Lutz (quite good meal too!), and I inquired if they had a place to sleep: Yes they had, with safe-parking and WLan of course. The room was clean and practical, including a small desk. Sleep was good, and breakfast was Excellent. As expected, there was a little snow the next morning, and I was allowed to work from the room until about 11:00 to wait for the snow to melt away. Payment by bank-card was not a problem, even for the quite reasonable price I had to pay. Excellent value for money, definitely a Recommended place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel O Kathedral; City: Antwerp Antwerp Province; Review: Excellent stay, and Good place for City Trip. Stayed here to attend a conference in Cinema Cartoons, which is nearby. The Location of the hotel is Perfect, right in the buzzing heart of the old city with plenty of Restaurants, Cafes and “Frituur” nearby. The booking was Easy and smooth. Check-in was Efficient. The room was Excellent. I had a double-room, which would be called a junior-suite in some American hotels: a sitting room with desk and a bedroom, separated. The hotel feels very local, trendy, and has its own Style, I’m surprised they don’t call it “Boutique” yet. The colors of the room were dark, as was most of the hotel, but that nicely fits the whole Atmosphere. The bed+bedlinen were Excellent. Wifi was working and fast enough, although you have to login each time. Criticism? Possibly the shower, it doesn’t close completely, and if you move too enthusiastically, water will spill on the floor. Mop it up and No-ProblemO. Strong Points: Very Comfortable room, and Brilliant Breakfast. I was really impressed by the effort this hotel put in for the breakfast. Despite the somewhat limited space, there was a Huge selection of Excellent food available. Compliments. Staff was very friendly and helpful throughout my 3 night stay. The bar is open late for drinks if you want to, with some local beers on tap. Checkout was efficient. All in all a Much Recommended place. I will gladly return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Vancouver Airport; City: Richmond British Columbia; Review: All the positive things we read here about this hotel were true. As two almost terminally jet-lagged 70 year olds arriving from Tokyo, our condition was recognized immediately by the front desk staff who went out of their way to support us. They produced maps, slowly repeated their already clear directions, sat on the phone to confirm our onward reservations and, perhaps still feeling a bit nervous about us as we headed out the door, gave us one of the hotels business cards saying "If you get lost, just give this to a taxi driver and he can bring you back!" Some sleep in the very comfort beds restored us enough to continue on to Halifax. This hotel gives very good value for the money. Pick up from /delivery to the airport every half hour day and night, excellent breakfast included (A buffet with juice, fresh fruit, cereal, yoghurt, bagels, toast and/or fresh waffles made to order by the very friendly restaurant staff), sparkling clean, smoke free and a real window in the bedroom that opened! (And for entertainment, in the middle of the night we looked out the window and watched a little Groundhog snuffling around the lawn!) It is 10 minutes walk from the skytrain and easy access to downtown Vancouver.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Old Brewery Guest House; City: Richmond North Yorkshire England; Review: We found the Old Bewery very pleasant. We stayed in one of the garden rooms which had twin beds. It was very spacious and had an enormous bath/shower room. We could see Richmond Castle from our window. Breakfast was excellent. There was fresh fruit and various cereals for those who didn't want 'full English". The staff were accomodating of our special needs, particularly the lady at the front desk who went out of her way to give me internet access. The guest house is close to the river, and we enjoyed a riverside walk with views of the old bridge and the castle. We would love to stay longer another time.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Harbour Lights Hotel; City: Alderney Channel Islands; Review: The Harbour Lights Hotel doesn't advertise itself as 'scent free', but on our three day visit in September we found it seemed to use very 'neutral' laundry soaps and similar products. I react with swollen, streaming eyes to many scents and at the Harbour Lights I had no problems at all. We had a very pleasant 'terrace-view' room with a huge, sparkling clean bathroom/shower. The windows in both the bathroom and bedroom opened. We ate breakfast and dinner in the bistro. The food was good-but the portions very substantial, so neither of us had room for starters, and we shared dessert. We are both interested in history and natural history, and Alderney has much to offer. At over 70, we don't walk as easily as we would like- but there are tours available from local taxi services. I think you need to book these early in the day. Steven and the staff we met were friendly and helpful. I had left behind something in going through Security in Guernsey, and I was grateful to Steven for phoning them and arranging for me to pick it up on our way out. We'd like to go back; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Gatwick Corner House Hotel; City: Horley Surrey England; Review: As two jet-lagged 70 year olds, we were delighted when we arrived at 5 in the morning to find keys and instructions to our room laid out and easy to follow. Our bedroom at the top of the stairs was cosy and had a great shower/bathroom which was very clean and produced LOTS of hot water. We found it a bit noisey- we were over the kitchen which was busy until quite late. The room had windows which open, and we opened them, so the traffic noise was our own fault! The hotel has two rates- one if you need pick up from the airport and breakfast- the other if you are just going to sleep there, which we thought was very useful. On our way into Britain, we were too early to be picked up and knew we would sleep through breakfast. On our way home, they picked us up from Gatwick within 5 minutes of calling. We ate supper in the restaurant- the only one this trip where I was able to order lamb! The lamb chops were delicious. And the breakfast next morning equally so. There was a serve-yourself buffet for breakfast which included fresh fruit and museli, as well as the traditional 'full English'. The staff here are very helpful and efficient.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: The Hideaway Hotel Playa Samara; City: Playa Samara Province of Guanacaste; Review: This is a wonderful hotel in a super location. It does indeed have very friendly people giving good advice about local attractions. The rooms are large, air conditioned and very clean. The food in the restaurant is excellent. Our family is interested in natural history (and gardening) and this hotel is a great place from which to explore those interests. The hotel gardens are varied and beautiful, and have a number of resident Iguanas and Geckos. There were 3 Magpie Jays checking out our balcony every morning at 6 am- a Howler monkey family traveling through the trees on and just outside the property- Brown Pelicans, Whimbrels, a green Heron and many other birds at the 2-minute away beach, coral, coconuts and Turret shells at the 10-minute away beach. Near-by rivers were full of Chiclids (and some crocodiles). It's a 2 hour drive to Ostional, to see the Olive-Ridley Sea Turtle nesting ground, a unique and very moving experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our 9 day stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Blue River Resort Hot Springs; City: Rincon de La Vieja Province of Guanacaste; Review: This resort is still quite new and there are still some things they could make more of. It's a wonderful location and many of the positive things mentioned here are true. The rooms are great, there's tons of hot water, the hot pools are relaxing. It's located in a cloud/rain forest and it rains a lot- not unexpected. But the rain thundering on the tin roof can make it hard to sleep- even for me, who normally sleeps through anything. We travel to Costa Rica to look at wildlife - plants and animals. There are wonderful things to see at Blue River Resort, but many of them you have to find for yourself. As mentioned there is a hummingbird station, with several species whirring in and out- but no one mentioned to us that if you go back to the same place at night, there are even more bats whirring in and out- some drinking from the Hummingbird feeders, some catching the insects attracted to the feeders. We didn't find any natural history information any where on site- it would be good to have some of those plasticized guides produced by Rainforest Publications posted in the Dining Room, perhaps, with the local birds and plants highlighted? There are a number of feeding stations in the botanic garden; unfortunately, in the three days we were there, there was never anything on them to attract birds or other wildlife. The most unfortunate thing for us was that when changing the pools, the hot water runs through a number of channels all through the property. Perhaps unavoidably, many small frogs were killed by the hot water- and after 2 days, their dead bodies remained in the channels. Not the environmental message the resort wants to send, I'm sure. There is a lot to see and enjoy at Blue River Resort- but bring all your own field guides.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Kamakura Prince Hotel; City: Kamakura Kanagawa Prefecture Kanto; Review: Travelers have been going to Kamakura and Enoshima for hundreds of years and there are many old woodblock prints showing their view of Fuji from the place where the Kamakura Prince hotel is now located. All the hotel rooms face the beach and the (potential) view of Fuji. Fuji, however, is fickle, and sometimes appears, floating above the clouds... and sometimes doesn't! We were fortunate to see it the first morning of our visit, but it disappeared that afternoon and didn't come back. However, in compensation, a Japanese raccoon did appear outside our balcony next morning. The hotel is on the side of a hill, and I believe, in response to other comments, that earth-holding plants rather than a garden, have been planted there to prevent landslides. The amenities,rooms, Japanese restaurant, breakfast were all great. The price seemed a little high for a hotel that did not have an onsen or public baths.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kawasaki Higashiguchi; City: Kawasaki Kawasaki Kanagawa Prefecture Kanto; Review: This business hotel is very clean, has large, comfortable beds, windows that open and very convenient room arrangements (a headboard with an an alarm clock, tissues, and switches for all the room lights). It is associated with the Excelsior Coffee Shop for breakfast, which was a bit meager. The staff were very pleasant and those to whom I spoke had excellent English. Kawasaki was convenient for a trip between Yokohama (Maritime Museum) and Kamakura.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Best Western Ivy Hill Hotel; City: Margaretting Borough of Brentwood Essex England; Review: The Ivy Hotel is in a lovely old house in large gardens with huge old trees and a pond. Our bedroom, on the ground floor, had windows that opened (always a plus). The room was large with lots of room to move around. Good beds. Good shower. Breakfast was buffet style and very varied and ample. Friendly staff. There was a wedding in the hotel the same night we were there but there was still lots of parking- and no noise noticeable in our room. Our one night stay was a treat from family, so I cannot comment on 'value' but it was certainly up to the usual high standard of Best Western hotels we have stayed in.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

A good base for Docklands but you can easily get into the city in half an hour. The lack of a lift didn't bother me but might be a problem for some, especially if you have lots of luggage. The room was small but clean with modern decor, food straight forward "pub grub". I liked the breakfast menu - really good bacon bagette; a nice change from the tired cooling breakfast buffet of the chain hotels.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Rooms Rent Vesuvio Bed Breakfast; City: Naples Province of Naples Campania; Review: When I book a single room I have got used to being put in something approaching the size of a cupboard! The single room in this apartment is a good size with a large bed and a lovely balcony overlooking Naples. Breakfast is a good selection of cereals, pastries, cakes, bread, yoghourt, juice and great coffee or a selection of teas. The train station is just 5 minutes away and to get to Pompeii or Herculaneum you only need to change once, and it is very cheap. However, if you are not Italian,be warned there are no electronic boards, timetables and often no platform directions, so you have to be prepared to ask for help as you begin to find your way around, so some basic Italian is very useful. Gianluigi had helpfully printed off some timetables for me. He also will collect and take you to the airport if you are arriving by plane. There are local pizzerias or you can get a meal delivered to the apartment. I had a brilliant 3 days. Thank you Gianluigi; Rating: 5.0/5.0

We both got amazing pedicures. I stopped in recently to get a gelish/shellac manicure. I don't remember the last time I've had such a fast manicure. I quickly realized that a "regular" walked in shortly after me and my lady was hurrying to get done with me so she could do the other lady's nails. This was a bit disappointing. I'm still happy with the result but I expected much more.

Decided to take a nice day to go look. We were very honest that we just started looking and weren't sure what we wanted. They asked a lot questions about what we liked to do and what our budget was. With that being said...just because you have a certain amount to spend doesn't mean you want to spend that much. We were shown 1 travel trailer. When we asked price we were just told it fit within our budget. We asked a handful of times the actual price and they wouldn't tell us. We asked about used inventory and he said they had only a few but they were crap. He wouldn't show them to us. Our sales guy asked if we were ready to do the paperwork to take it home. I explained again that we just started looking and would not be buying today. He proceeded to walk 10-15 steps ahead of us back to the showroom. My husband and myself both drove out of their lot saying we'd never go back again with a place that won't tell us the price and with a sales guy who seemingly had a temper tantrum when we wouldn't buy after looking at 1 travel trailer.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Vine Wine Shop & Lounge; City: Boise, ID; Review: Great little wine shop!

One family with 3 kids trying on things held up the dressing rooms for about 30 minutes. Granted, it was a Sunday afternoon so I can take some of the blame for being there at a busy time. New remodel is nice but some things seem so out of place. Design is sleek and modern. I'll always shop at Target but maybe at less busy times.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Panera Bread; City: Meridian, ID; Review: Noooo!!! I was so excited it's for delivery! I placed my order.

Food was mostly warm so I was impressed with that. I visit Panera often because when they're good, they're GOOD! Lately those experiences are far and few between.

Found out they opened at 10:30. COVID menu leaves a bit to be desired. A few beers were out but we couldn't get a beer list. At noon on football Sunday there were about 8 people in the place. We left after a few drinks and appetizer (that was nearly $40 tab). We both really wanted to like it but just felt "blah" with our experience. Wine glasses were very dirty. Know it was just water marks but shows lack of effort.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: L Amphitrite Palace; City: Skhirat Rabat Sale Zemmour Zaer Region; Review: I agree with one of the previous reviewers: no-one seems to be managing this hotel. The front desk staff are quite hopeless at their jobs and make you feel anything but welcome. I was part of a group of journalists booked in by the Moroccan government, but the duty manager (or at least the lady who took charge that night) claimed that two of us were not on the list and that no rooms were available. This was at 1.10am. A couple of calls by the organizer of the trip sorted that out eventually, but the following evening another front desk member of staff claimed I should have checked out that day - even though I'd been told I was booked in for three nights. What is more, people who tried to call me from overseas via the front desk were seldom put through. Other problems included a missed wake-up call (the alarm in the room wasn't working), and loud piped muzak from the corridor outside my room at 4am. I was on the fourth floor and this noise woke me up even though I am a fairly deep sleeper, and the same thing happened to someone I spoke to who was staying on the first floor. On the positive side, the room was very comfortable and clean, and the food at lunch and dinner was good. The cleaners and the other humble members of staff seemed friendly and efficient, curiously, so the problems are clearly among the white collar people. Starwood needs to sort this mess out.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: The Residence Mauritius; City: Belle Mare; Review: My wife and I usually stay at a Four Seasons when we travel beyond Europe, but in keeping with the prevailing spirit of austerity we decided to cut back this year and opt for a "budget five star" this year - or at least a hotel that would be slightly cheaper than a Four Seasons but still very good. We weren't disappointed. My "4" rating is harsh considering the exceptionally good cuisine served throughout the resort, the delightfully "colonial" elegance of the hotel, and the generally friendly and helpful staff, but there were two blips in the service for which the management had to make amends. Other imperfections included the absurdly high prices for the house Feuillatte champagne (E115 for a bottle, I think) and for tennis coaching. The service was also somewhat impersonal at times. On the positive side, the half board deal worked out rather well for us and we normally found the menu of the day to be excellent at dinner, and the buffet breakfast quite filling. My son, who was 15 months old, had his dinner cooked to order at no extra cost. The occasional buffet dinners were outstanding and included within the half-board arrangement. Housekeeping and the general amenities of the hotel were good. We would certainly return.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Porto Elounda Golf Spa Resort; City: Elounda Lasithi Prefecture Crete; Review: This hotel, which my wife and I chose because of its combination of child-friendly facilities with grown-up comforts, has a great deal going for it as almost everyone has noted. And we duly enjoyed ourselves. It would be unfair to give the hotel a low rating especially as most of the staff were very helpful. But unfortunately we are unlikely to go back because of a deeply disappointing day at the end of a week-long stay, a day that perhaps revealed the hotel in its true cynical colours. The first irritant was that we were charged 50 euros for the privilege of checking out 5 hours late - most hotels of this class simply give you a complimentary late check-out if you've stayed with them for a week. But more annoying, and admittedly we should have checked on the price before ordering, was that we were charged 43 euros for a few simple, "take-away" ham and chicken sandwiches for 2 adults and one child on the last day. This was not the way to win over this family who have in the past been pampered at other hotels of at least equal quality.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Suite Villa Maria; City: La Caleta Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: Villa Maria's formula certainly works for this family with two small children. Impressively spacious, comfortable and clean villas, with some very welcome outdoor areas and a kitchen, plenty of children's activities, and Moet champagne at breakfast, are a winning combination. We had previously been, frankly, snobbishly sceptical about Tenerife before this trip, but Villa Maria has changed all that and we will return. The service is always very friendly and willing and the facilities around the hotel are generally very good. La Caleta and its restaurants are a short walk away (probably 15-20 minutes with co-operative small children), so there is no need to rely on the hotel's unremarkable kitchens. All in all, as long as you don't expect Four Seasons-style pampering and relentless attention to detail you won't be disappointed here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Le Win; City: Jeonju Jeollabuk do; Review: What an extraordinary document of undistinguished recent history this hotel this. Take away the faltering WiFi, and the PCs, and you could be in about 1985, perhaps 1975, although my memory doesn’t stretch back that far. The furniture, fixtures and fittings probably haven’t been updated since then, despite the wholesale modernisation that the rest of South Korea has embraced so zealously. My room was spacious, and clean, but a little musty, and reminded me of my parents’ generation at every turn. The breakfast simply didn’t make sense, in conception or execution, and was over-priced. I have to say though that the staff seemed on the whole to be very willing to help, although I encountered one male member of staff who seemed to lack people skills. And I am grateful to the hotel for its speedy response to my needs since I went there desperate to move across from the place I had originally booked. This hotel made the transfer very easy for me.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Constance Belle Mare Plage; City: Belle Mare; Review: This was my family's third stay at this superbly well-run hotel, and it's again difficult to identify things I did not like. The only flaws were: at La Citronelle sometimes as many as two or three members of staff separately asked for our room number, even after we'd been staying there a few days; another member staff made me slightly uncomfortable by rather awkwardly pitching for a tip; and my well-flagged birthday went almost unremarked. But these are quibbles. The staff all looked happy to be working there, creating an easy-going yet pampered atmosphere. Special thanks must go to Tao, Meggy, Louis, Elizma and Rajan (La Kaze), as well as the mixologists at all the bars. A nice touch this time was the General Manager's drinks, the first time we'd been invited. It's such a lovely hotel I was reluctant to write this for fear of encouraging too many people to visit, but the staff deserve a rave review. To be frank, Mauritius will never be my favourite country, but I will keep going back to this resort.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: L7 Gangnam; City: Seoul; Review: I should state my bias straight away: I love Korea so I am generally positive in my reviews of Korean hotels. Having said that, this hotel was even better than the Myeongdong L7 where I stayed last year - a comfortable place but whose location in the least Korean part of Seoul I disliked. This time the location was more to my taste. And my room including the bathroom, crucially, was bigger and felt better designed. The staff were appreciative of my efforts to speak Korean (I’m still learning), and were very helpful and charming. There was nothing to dislike about this well-managed hotel that offered exactly what I needed. The only slight annoyance was that the limousine bus from Incheon airport was excruciatingly slow, but I might have been unlucky.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Two things I would change, but I'm still giving it 5 stars: The beep when it unlocks. I'd read other reviews that said it was loud, but when I first installed ours I didn't think it was so loud. However, my opinion has changed since we've lived with it for a while. It's not crazy loud, but I wish it was either very muted, or no beep at all. After all, if you put the code in and are able to turn the knob then you know it was successful, so why do you need a beep? It would actually be better if it beeped for an INCORRECT code entry. It's rather bulky. Both in width, which isn't so bad, but also in depth of each knob (the locking side and the other side). The other side has the battery and electronics inside it, and since you have to get into that to put the battery in, I could see what was in there, and it looked to me like it could've been made a tad shorter. The keypad side I don't know, maybe it just has to be that thick/deep/tall. I installed it on an interior bedroom door (to keep our kleptomaniac 12-year old daughter out), and it installed like any other interior door lock. I did have to take the old plunger piece out and install the one that came with the knob, but that's an easy affair involving two screws. Great lock, and so far (only 2+ months) good battery life.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Neiko 31112 Air Blow Gun Set with 5 Interchangeable Nozzles and Over-Sized Trigger | 5 Piece Set; Brand: Neiko; Review: Good quality, works fine. I bought it mainly to pump up soccer and basketballs, wasn't sure the smallest nozzle was going to work, but it does. The end of it is just cut off, not rounded like normal ball nozzles I've owned, but it goes in the balls just fine and doesn't seem to hurt them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Woods 59028WD In-Wall 7-Day Digital Timer, Light Almond,Woods,59028" />; Brand: Woods; Review: Love this item.

Bought this one to put in another bathroom.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: BESTTEN Side Wall Tap Outlet Adapter Surge Protector with 2 USB Charging Ports (Sharing 3.1A) & 4 AC; Brand: BESTTEN; Review: This outlet works great and looks pretty slick. The pull-out "shelves" I thought were going to be gimmicky, a solution without a problem, but where I had to mount this, the cords wouldn't reach to our nightstand, so we just set the phones on the shelves. Very handy. My only complaint is the green LED on the front is oh-my-gosh bright. I mean, in the dark it throws stark shadows on the walls and ceiling of our bedroom. With a phone on it it's blocked well enough, but with nothing on it I put an empty phone case on it just to block the light. I'll probably disable it at some point, or put tape over it. And it comes with a screw in the middle, so you take the screw out of the wall faceplate, plug this unit in, and drive the screw in to hold it to the wall. Makes it pretty sturdy, much sturdier than these sort of multi-outlet adapters I've used in the past that don't have a screw. I tried it both with the wall faceplate off and on, and it seemed to me that it was sturdier with the faceplate on, but it may be different for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Touch 'n Hold Smooth - Standard Duty Door Closer for Storm & Screen Doors - Single Kit; Brand: Greenstar; Review: It was a drop-in replacement for the one that was on our Pella door, just pulled the two pins from the old one, put this one in and reinserted the pins. Like others have mentioned, it does a good job pulling the door closed, better than the one that came with the door, and I didn't have to make any adjustments to it. Works well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: LiftMaster 893Max, 1 Pack, Black; Brand: LiftMaster; Review: If you have the Liftmaster 8500 Wall Mount Garage Door Opener, THE LEARN BUTTON IS ON THE WIRED CONTROL PANEL that it came with, *NOT* ON THE OPENER ITSELF!. Great remote once I figure this out. A somewhat-modified FAQ from Chamberlain's website: Q: Why won't any remote controls or keyless entry program to the 8500? A: The model 8500 is compatible with new Security+ 2.0 remote controls. The 8500 comes with the 888LM MyQ Control Panel. There are two causes that may be the problem with programming to an 8500: Remote compatibility **LOCATION OF THE LEARN BUTTON** Compared with other models, the learn button is not on the opener itself, it is on the MyQ Control Panel. The learn button on the opener is used only for setting the travel limits and force. To program the 893MAX remote control, locate the learn button ON THE CONTROL PANEL by flipping up the push bar. 1. Take the visor clip off and use it to press the Program button on the back of the remote until the LED on the front turns on. 2. Press and release the Learn button ON THE CONTROL PANEL *twice*. The red LED will turn on. 3. Press and release the remote button you wish to program, ONE TIME. [you'll probably want to use the big button] 4. Exit programming by pressing one of the OTHER 2 buttons on the remote. 5. To test, press the programmed button.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: 10 Pack Promark Full Extension Drawer Slide 22" 100lb Load Rating; Brand: Promark; Review: Wow, these things are awesome! I bought the 22", and had a different brand of 22" and another brand of 24" that I'd probably gotten from Lowe's. I installed those two plus six pairs of these in a chest of drawers for my garage, and I can't tell that any are better than the others. I compared them pretty closely for fit and finish before installing and I couldn't tell that these looked "cheaper" than the other ones. Really don't know how they can sell them so cheaply with shipping included. I'll never buy drawer slides from a hardware store again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

No rhyme or reason to the way the homes are laid out. we rented a spot for five nights. The first day that we were there my little dog happened to bark at somebody who went by, that's usually what dogs do. Later that day I received a call on my cell phone stating that I need to control my dog and be more considerate of my neighbors. This was not quite hours from 11 to 7, Just during the day walking my dog. The following day as I was walking my other dog, this little brown poodle came running out of someone's garage and started barking at me and going after my dog. But I didn't report it to the office because we all need to learn to live together. In a place like this good luck. The spot we rented was all full of weeds, the gazebo was falling apart. The top was not on it, all the screens are falling out all over . No wonder they gave you a night free for renting three nights. I do not recommend this place .

We enjoyed the short walk down to Caerfai Bay and it was easy to walk up the road to St David's. I prefer slightly more space between pitches as it was a little tricky to get our tent up without hitting the neighbour's car with our poles but that's a minor thing. Certainly somewhere I'd recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Southview Park Hotel; City: Skegness Lincolnshire England; Review: We stayed two nights, one in a standard double and then paid extra to upgrade to the Penthouse Suite. Both rooms represented good value for money, were clean, comfortable and nicely equipped. Our room on the Saturday was noisy as over a wedding but we were warned about this when we checked in and it was the last room in the hotel. Our daughter really enjoyed the swimming pool which was a big bonus when paying this sort of price for a room and we enjoyed a delicious evening meal in the restaurant on the leisure park. Only downside was the check in when we arrived. There was only one person on duty so we had to queue and she was clearly stressed by the full hotel. We were told breakfast was at 7 the next morning, great when you've got a hungry toddler who wakes early. We arrived just after 7 to be told by the sullen person staffing reception that breakfast wasn't until 8 on a Sunday. The duty manager did then appear almost immediately, apologise and allow us into breakfast early and organised staff to bring the hot items out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: The Castle Inn; City: Castle Combe Cotswolds England; Review: Lovely hotel in a stunning village. A perfect way to see Castle Combe at its best once all the crowds have gone home. Rooms are well designed and modern yet stylishly traditional at the same time. Breakfast was nice and we enjoyed a very pleasant evening meal in the restaurant. Pricy but you do get what you pay for!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Quorn Grange Hotel; City: Loughborough Leicestershire England; Review: We met friends here for lunch and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere in the bar. The food was delicious, the staff very helpful in accommodating dietary intolerances and the gardens were perfect for our daughter to play in. A really lovely place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Ashbourne Heights Holiday Park; City: Fenny Bentley Peak District National Park England; Review: Pros: Nice facilities including large play area, shop, swimming pool, social room and walks. Level pitches. Cons: pitches are really small and crowded in so if you've got noisy neighbours it won't be a relaxing holiday. They have squeezed pitches onto every patch of grass, I wouldn't have been happy to have been right against the busy road into the site or up against the play area. Toilets were only ok, the floor was always wet, my daughter fell over in there repeatedly because it was so slippery.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Prytania Park; City: New Orleans Louisiana; Review: Pros: Free parking Walking distance to French Quarter Adjacent to a great restaurant (Lula) Cons: Our room smelt musty but after a 6 hour drive with two very young children we were too tired to find another hotel. The second bed was up an open spiral staircase. Very pretty but dangerous for young children who were constantly drawn to it! Breakfast was very basic and in a cold courtyard so we had to wear our coats. There was a big puddle under the tables despite the fact it hadn't rained in the last 24 hours. I wouldn't have minded the basic conditions so much if I'd paid half the price but I expected better. This was more of a hostel than a boutique hotel and the price should reflect this. I wouldn't stay here again.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Residence Inn by Marriott Dallas Market Center; City: Dallas Texas; Review: Great location, good price, clean comfortable rooms. Nice breakfast with good range of choices even gluten free bagels. Only issue was that if I've booked for a family I think it's nice if house keeping make up the extra bed for you in advance. When arriving late with two small children it's an extra hassle to have to find the bedding and make the sofa bed yourself.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: SpringHill Suites Baton Rouge South; City: Baton Rouge Louisiana; Review: I chose this hotel because we've enjoyed staying in Marriott hotels before. The room was a good size with two double beds and our children enjoyed using the pool. Negatives - all little things but added up to not enjoying our stay. Our room was very noisy from the road, they need better glazing. No teaspoons to make a drink with. Flat batteries in the tv remote. Toilet wobbled when you sat on it. Hair on the carpet. We didn't notice that the previous occupant had set an alarm to go off at 6.30am. Small thing but housekeeping could check this. Not awful but I'd stay elsewhere in Baton Rouge another time.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: The King s Head; City: Monmouth Monmouthshire South Wales Wales; Review: I booked this room for our family expecting pleasant but fairly basic, similar to a Premier Inn or Travelodge. The hotel was in a perfect location on a quiet road but right in the centre of the town with free overnight parking in a public car park to the rear. Being an old inn you could see that the rooms varied in size but the family room was massive, much better than rooms where they've just squeezed the extra bed in the corner. The room was freshly refurbished and decorated to a high standard. We would definitely stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Mercure Banbury Whately Hall Hotel; City: Banbury Oxfordshire England; Review: We stayed for one night in December and had reserved a double room with space for a toddler as well. We discovered we had been allocated an extensive suite with two rooms and a large bathroom. All comfortable and well furnished. Perfect for a family to not have to all sleep in the same room and risk disturbing each other. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast had a really wide choice. A great location in the centre of Banbury with ample free secure parking. We would definitely return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I did realize that all cartridges would need to be purchased in order to cut images. So, I'm not jaded about the value in that respect. But, I did wrongly assume that this software would have basic editing that has been available for the past 20 years! It will not "group" objects which is downright needed when designing your own phases or images. Also, you cannot edit the images much beyond simply resizing them and welding. Oh, and it's really buggy too. You can't edit a copied and pasted image, it freezes at least once every 3 uses, and takes over 5 minutes to load up each time. It is nice for the paper-saving abilities (you can move images around on the virtual mat really close to save paper which I like.) But it is simply not good for anyone wanting to be creative and design things. Sooooo not worth the price... really it should be free with the Cricut machine puchase. If I'd known how primitive it was, I'd only have bought it for about five bucks.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Cricut Spatula Tool; Brand: Cricut; Review: I don't use this as much as I thought I would.

I read the reviews about the spools being terrible. But, to be honest, I just didn't get what the reviews were getting at... how can the spool effect the thread?? While the thread is nice (not over the top great quality, but nice,) and the colors are flat out beautiful, the spools render it almost useless! I guess I can keep it around for handwork, but I have reached my limit of 20-30 jams, snags, etc in the machine. I have broken 12 needles too. The spools are rough and catch the thread so it won't unwind and the snaps the needles. One flew at my eye and barely missed, but left a cut on my eyelid! That was the last straw! Some of my spools had the extra end piece while others did not and many of them lost yards and yards of thread that simply fell off the end of the spool as the plastic wrap was removed (carefully!) on the first use. These are a beautiful wast of time, waste of needles, waste of money, and are quite dangerous to boot!; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: Gingher Inc, Silver; Brand: Gingher; Review: Nice and sharp; feel heavy and of quality. I need some instruction on how to use them though I think!

It's more like 50%. So it won't go as far, but it is still a decent price because it was a bulk purchase.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Cricut Pen Set. Metallic; Brand: Cricut; Review: Great colors & nice and juicy markers. They fit the machine great! I kept trying to make other pens work -- I think I'll just stick with the branded Cricut ones from now on. Hopefully they will continue to release more colors.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Near the central market very near the city center we found the ZING HOTEL - brand new -may be a few months old. For a price between 20 and 25 dollar you have a very nice clean and fresh room with free wifi ,ac and big bed.,also free parking in front . A relax Hotel for a few days when you visiting PP and looks for all the (bad ) history of the country .The fresh painting walls are remarkable .

Given the interaction history of a user with books as follows: Title: The No-Cry Nap Solution: Guaranteed Gentle Ways to Solve All Your Naptime Problems; Author: Visit Amazon's Elizabeth Pantley Page; Review: Did you know that studies have proven healthy sleep habits for your child now can directly impact their health for the rest of their lives? Or that a child not wanting a nap and not needing a nap are not one in the same? But let's get real: While our intentions may be great, real life doesn't always allow for step-by-step approaches to getting our kids the daytime rest they need (and the sorely needed breaks we get while they nap!). Crabby kids, relatives popping in unannounced right before nap time, teething, upset bellies, that doctor appointment you can't miss, that 15 minute car nap that ruined little Johnny's afternoon siesta that led to an even more difficult bed time fight because he was so overtired...we've all been there, done that, and were all ready to pull out hair out by the end of the day. There's a lot of great information in this book for parents of newborns through toddlerhood, and I made plenty of notes while I read. And there was also plenty of information that did not apply to our situation, some of which I skipped entirely and some of which I just skimmed (because I do plan on having another baby eventually!). But that is what is so great about Pantley's book: it's not a one-size-fit-all solution. Whether you co-sleep, nurse-to-sleep, stick to a by-the-clock schedule, or fly by the seat of your pants (like I do), you and your nap-fighting child will benefit greatly from the little bit of time it will take to sit down and read! A few very important lessons I learned while reading Pantley's book included: * My daughter needs 12 hours of sleep a night and 1 to 2 hours of nap time per day for 13 to 14 hours of sleep total. Oops! I had been cutting her short by about 2 hours. We have been working on remedying that situation and I am already noticing improvements. * Night time sleep can help make up for naps but naps cannot make up for night time sleep. * No matter what ANYONE tells you, newborns cannot be spoiled. So baby-wear, cuddle, and hug to your hearts content. * I am not the worst mother in the world. * What works for us is fine. A parenting expert says so. So if my daughter and I are happy with our she-holds-my-hand-until-she -falls-asleep-for-every-nap-and-bedtime situation, then so be it. It doesn't mean I am spoiling her and it doesn' mean I did something wrong. It just means that this is what is right for us. (I'm not sure why I needed an expert to tell me this to make me feel better, but thank you, Elizabeth. You don't know how much better this makes me feel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: First Language Lessons for the Well-Trained Mind: Level 3 Student Workbook (First Language Lessons); Author: Visit Amazon's Jessie Wise Page; Review: We homeschool and are very pleased with first language lessons. I plan to use this program for the year to come; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Faking Balance: Adventures in Work and Life; Author: Visit Amazon's Lela Davidson Page; Review: Faking Balance is a fun, quick, and relatable read for any mother who has found herself wondering at least once every day why she seems to be failing at that mystical concept called Balance. There's the kids, their schedules, their lunches, their playdates and college applications... Add in the significant others, the dishes, the laundry, the work (inside and/or outside the home), and trying to carve out the freaking time to de-stress with yoga and meditation - or vodka and brownies - which - ironically - causes more of the very pressure to balance it all that we are totally already faking! Lela's voice is true, crisp, and her writing is witty and real. I've never spoken to her on the phone, but I have a feeling that what I hear when we finally do meet in person will be exactly the voice I heard in my head while reading Faking Balance. And that, my friends, plays big on my What Makes An Author a Great Author list. Thank you, Lela, for your story. I can't wait for more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Finding Motherhood: An Unexpected Journey; Author: Visit Amazon's Jill M. Murphy Page; Review: Jill M. Murphy has written a beautiful story in which she describes her journey on both sides of adoption. I highly recommend it!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: The Beat on Ruby's Street; Author: Visit Amazon's Jenna Zark Page; Review: The Beat on Ruby's Street by Jenna Zark is a coming of age novel that will leave you thinking. I hate reviews that give away the storyline, so I'm sticking to abstracts here. Zark is a gifted writer with a unique voice strong enough to draw you into the world she has created. I would liken the feelings and reactions I had to this book to following along in Holden Caulfield's adventure in Catcher in the Rye and Peter in Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. I appreciate a novel that treats its reader with respect in that real life isn't perfect. There's no need to wrap it up with a pretty bow at the end with all the loose ends taken care of and every question answered. Don't expect a Hallmark Channel movie ending here. Expect questions and perhaps a need to retread it at a later date to catch the bits you may have missed the first time around. My only issue with the story was the dialogue choice for the Mexican character named Manuela. As a first generation Mexican American who grew up listening to family members with little English skills communicate, I think manuela's speaking pattern and manner of speaking could have been better researched. It was... Distracting, and I found myself skimming through to get to the rest of the story, as this is just one segment of the book, and not the meat of the story. I also was a bit confused by the choice of footwear on Ruby for the book cover. I see pumps, I think? It's a minor point, and likely one I only noticed as an author myself, but I would have preferred to see ballet flats or something more age appropriate and reflective of the story itself. I wouldn't recommend this for younger readers, and still probably wait a few years to read with my now 8-year-old, as a few story aspects are above her maturity level, but I'd definitely say The Beat on Ruby's Street is best for 12 and up. All in all, it's a great book and I am looking forward to more from Zark.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

While there are some useful arguments on political issues, it loses its force when talking about American culture. Chaptur 6 about Subculture wars exposes his misconceptions . He basically tries to prove that human nature is changing. That our norms, mores and culture are changing. Nonsense. Morality is based on human experience not some concocted humanistic ideology of diversity and inclusion. The changes have been brought about by government coercion not a specific change in human nature. A lot of psycho babble here. He throws around terms like diffusion like some law of physics. Our neighborhoods have been destroyed by government housing policies. The family is being destroyed by government subsidies of out of wedlock births. Gender politics is particularly distasteful to intelligent people everywhere.. While we tolerate homosexuals, saying they have a legal right to sexual deviation is beyond the realm of sanity. But yet the government is ramming this assertion down our throats. He blames our problems on our nostalgia for the old days when everyone believed the same thing. Really? When in history was this the case? He maintains that Christianity is failing while half the world is fleeing socialism and the other half is fleeing Sharia. His solution is segregation. We will all live in our little enclaves of sameness while the bigger nation is a conglomeration of every life style imaginable. I for one am not buying it. To me it is the old story of good vs. evil, honesty vs. corruption. Protecting the family. It is all about money and power. Out institutions are not failing because they are not nimble enough, they are failing because they no longer reflect human values. They are at odds with human nature. People are not going to change. Social scientists have to change. Belief in liberty, the rule of law, individual rights and yes morality must return. These beliefs have been deeply subverted by the power mongers in society. Politics must change. Term limits would be a good start. Stop lobbying for handouts from the public treasury. That's real change.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: After the Music Stopped: The Financial Crisis, the Response, and the Work Ahead; Author: Visit Amazon's Alan S. Blinder Page; Review: The firs 3/4 of book is OK history of financial crisis and the speculative real estate bubble. But hat bubble was fed by cheap credit with the help of government. Easy credit means easy bankruptcy. Blinder is a typical monetary theorist. The current high leverage discourages consumers and businesses from obtaining any large increase in credit and so the economy is dragging along. In discussing the period from 2010 on, he under estimates the negative effect of the ACA on consumer and business expectations of higher government spending and taxation. He glosses over the ACA while emphasizing the Greek and euro problems. He also believes the Dodd-Frank is the solution when in reality D-F and the CFPB are a cover up of failed government policies and a bad education system overwhelmed by the detritus of the welfare state. As less workers are asked to pick up the slack for more unproductive people, things will remain in the dumps for some time. Also, beware of people like Denny Hastert and George W. Bush who never saw a spending bill they didn't like.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: The Green Ripper; Author: John MacDonald; Review: This is a novel about how terrorism and the war on civilians affects people. MacDonald was one of the first writers to acknowledge the prominent place terrorism has in modern life. The granddaddy of modern suspense novels and movies, TV, and ebooks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

This is a short Novella about 52 pages. It is a fast, fun and light read great for a chilly night by the fire. It is the first book I have read of Karen Lenfestey and I am sure it won't be the last. Right away I enjoyed the main character and really felt for her when she was put on an investigation for what she thought was helping a student as she tried to break up a fight at the school she works at. In the end this allegation was likely the best thing to happen to her and also her mother. Diane goes to spend sometime with her mom in her hometown where she helps her mom reconnect with an old flame. Diane also reconnects with her old love and rebuilds her friendship with his sister. I loved this story line as I can totally connect with it. It is very believable that we can reconnect with a past love as I have with my husband. Karen writes a fabulous story that you feel part of, just enough detail to get to know all the characters and a bit of the past. The book finishes on a happy note but also to me leaves more to the imagination and maybe another novella? If you like clean romance and something that you can read in an afternoon or right before bed, I highly recommend this great story from Karen.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Need to Breathe eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tara Staley Page; Review: I loved this book! I had a hard time putting this book down when I had to. It was one of those books that brings you right into the story and you just need to know what is going to happen. This story was told my Millie Rose who is like a spirit, she is referred to as a pixie, a voice in Claire's mind. The whole book is told by Millie. This is the first book I have read like this and loved it. Millie tried to help Claire from birth, telling her to breathe and she will make it. Claire was born with burns all over her body. She is told they are birth marks. This book was not a happy go lucky kind of book. It was a total emotional roller coaster. There are many dark moments in Claire and Millie's lives that are told and we follow the journey through everything. The author came up with a fabulous story line and had me feeling so many emotions through the book, some where I wanted to cry and other parts where I want to yell at Claire. I give Need to Breathe by Tara Staley a 5 star rating as this pulled at heart strings, made you happy and sad. The story held me throughout and stayed with me long after reading it. I have also recommended this book to many friends and family members.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: An Inspiring True Story: Eighteen Months To Live - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Rachele Baker DVM Page; Review: This novel is more of a journal with entries by Midge. There are also letters inserted here and there that she wrote to her daughter who is the author of the book. Some entries are longer telling the reader what Midge did that day and how she was feeling pain wise and what she took for medications and how often. The book spans the time after being told she had 0-18 months to live. This was a great idea to document the thoughts she had and what pain she felt throughout the time frame for others to have an idea of ones experience. The one entry with her doctor that she taped and then transcribe was a great idea to she what Midge was going through emotionally and physically. Midge needed to open up more with her doctor and she did that in this visit. We all should be able to be open and ask what is on our minds to our doctors. I do wish there were more feelings/emotions on what was going through her mind throughout this but from what I take the idea was more to tell people about her physical pain and medications that were needed as this was a newer cancer at the time. We journey with Midge as she shows us how strong she is going through her daily activities and isn't afraid to show us the days that are not great. In a couple entries we see some real emotions of life and death but for the most part Midge isn't going to give into this disease. She is a true fighter. I give this book a 3.25 out of 5 stars. It is a raw glimpse into a courageous women's life while she battles cancer.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Only Forever - A contemporary romance short story inspired; Brand: Visit Amazon's Alex Lux Page; Review: I was excited to see another book by Kimberly Kinrade. I have to say I have loved everything I have read so far from her. Knowing this is a short I was excited to sit down and quickly devour this fun, cute book. It is funny how a pair of bell bottoms brought together these two individuals and a happy life together. Kimberly's writing makes it very easy to picture the scenes as you read them. If you are looking for a little clean romance, something you can quickly read as the kids are playing or your waiting for supper to cook, pick up this short. I am sure you will be very happy you did. This is a great love story beginning and I could see how this could make a great full length novel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Romance at the Royal Menagerie - Kindle edition; Brand: Ruth Hartman; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This was my very first time reading a Regency type romance novel. I will admit I never was sure if I would enjoy them as I am not a huge history person. When Ruth apprached me to ask if I would review this book I thought why not? can't hurt right? So I said yes and here is what I thought about the book. First off I did have to get used to the way the characters spoke in that time. I am not sure when it was that it took place but it took place in a day with people of Titles and a big "class" separation. Francesca has grown up around cats, BIG cats as her father is a Zoo worker. Her mother left when she was 9 years old, she ran away with a man and not just any man a Earl. This is the backdrop to understand where Francesca's fathers dislike for people/men with a title comes from. Francesca spends her time talking with the cats at the zoo but has to stay on the outside of the cages during the day, at night though she sneaks in to visit her big feline friends. One day a gentlemen visits the zoo and makes acquaintances with Francesca, they find that they both have a big love for cats and Francesca is there to save Mr. Fairgate when the gate to one cage opens. This storyline is written at a great pace that you get to really know the characters and I felt I was able to form a likeness to Mr. Fairgate (John) and Francesca. They are both sweet mannered and easy to like. Their spark forms at first sight. We later find out that Miss Cartwright wants to marry Mr. Fairgate as they are of the same class and have known each other for many years. Miss Cartwright is not a likable character, she is a snotty gold digger. All she is wanting is to have a man with loads of money. She hates the Zoo and cats. This is a cute sweet romance with an olden day feel while courting and proper appearances/class are in need. I felt myself falling in love with the main characters and routing for their love. Hoping they can over come the division and find happiness by the end of the book. I was actually sad to put down the book at the end as it would have been interesting to read more about Francesca and John. This book is a must read if you like regency and sweet romances. There isn't any swearing or hot love scenes, just cute innocent love/courtship. It was very well written and I look forward to reading more from Ruth Hartman.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Christmas Wishes - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Patricia Kiyono Page; Review: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I loved this book! A great contemporary romance that had me from the very first page. This isn't your typical girl meets guy and falls head over heels. This story is of a single dad of a little girl who moves to a small town from the be city to raise his little girl. His wife passed away but that didn't stop her mother from keeping a close eye on Mitch to prove that he isn't a fit father. She goes to extremes while Mitch goes on with his life and meets a beautiful blonde name Sophie. Sophie is friendly, beautiful and great with kids. She also falls for Mitch and his daughter. Sophie was determined to move away from the small town to the big city until Mitch arrived. This is a great Christmas story as it takes place over the holidays and Sophie is putting together a Christmas concert at the church also where Mitch's daughter attends. There is a twist with Mitch's mother in law keeping Mitch on his toes all the while he settles in to his new home and new life that he would love to share with Sophie. I felt that the author did an great job with forming the characters that made me feel it was a very realistic story line. I really liked Mitch & Sophie and would love to see more about these two in maybe a second book. The storyline flowed well and didn't have any "slow" spots.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Golden Locket (Unbreakable Trilogy, Book 2) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Primula Bond Page; Review: I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I have really had a love/hate relationship with this series. I love how Primula Bond is a fabulous story teller she grabs you right from the beginning and hooks you for the rest of the book even if it isn't really something that you think is "real" life. This book was WAY out there for myself but I continued to read on and really enjoyed this book. I am looking forward to the final installment of the Unbreakable Trilogy now that I am fully invested in the story line and I want to know what happens to Gustav & Serena. Bond really makes you feel part of the action and you feel for the characters. Gustav in this book is opening up more to the relationship with Serena but still is very mysterious and handsome. This book picks up from where we left off in book one learning about the Levi brothers dark secrets and is very dark and heavy. The beginning has a lot of dialog but you learn all about Gustav's brother Pierre who we met at the end of book #1. I did find this a bit long and was starting to think this book was going to be more dialog than story but it got moving and had me interested in seeing where it was heading. Serena and Gustav take their relationship to a whole new level and learn about trusting each other while Gustav gave Serena the okay to explore her sexuality. It seemed like everywhere Serena turned she was met with temptation, exploration and lust. Pierre wasn't my favorite character in this book and I was hoping to see a happy ending for Gustav and Serena. This is definitely a roller coaster storyline but it is heavy on the sexual exploring, along with deception and manipulation. To be able to follow this storyline you do need to read the first book as they are not stand alone. I give this book 3 stars out of 5.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: The Secret of Isobel Key eBook; Brand: Visit Amazon's Jen McConnel Page; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The author sets up this book so the reader is following the life of Isobel Key and also Lou while she is on vacation in Scotland by flipping back and forth in time by chapters. It was really easy to follow along with this and the author was able to have us get to know Isobel well but not include tons of extra stuff that we don't need to know about her. This is a great clean novel with a little bit of romance and a whole lot of witch research to find out more about Isobel and right a wrong that was done centuries ago. I fell in love with 3 of the main characters but really didn't enjoy Tammy who is Lou's best friend. She seems a little to into herself and what she thinks is always right/best. I really enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down when I had to. I don't want to give away the ending but I am a little upset on how it ended. Does that mean there may be another book to come?; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Blonde Pussy Champagne - (Lesbian erotica, lesbian sex, lesbian seduction, lesbian humiliation, lesbian discipline, lesbian punishment, lesbian domination); Brand: Visit Amazon's Melissa Markwell Page; Review: This was totally an out of genre for me, but I thought I would give it a test drive. As I enjoy men I wasn't really sure what I was getting into with this book. I really thought a lesbian erotica would be filled with pleasure, excitement as well as being very sensual and gently. WOW I was totally not expecting it to be so rough, hard core and over the top! This story is a short story written like a diary. Melissa is a girl that knows what she wants in her "bedroom" and will stop no where. She also has a controlling aspect to her. This blows "Fifty Shades" way out of the water with less than a 100 pages. If you are looking for lesbian kinky sex you will have it all in this novel. I do find it more of a younger crowd and the language very rough but it was a very different read.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Give Me Love: Reason Series #4 (The Reason Series) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Zoey Derrick Page; Review: I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review. OMG!! This book is steamy! If you have read the first 3 books I am sure you are dying to read this one. If not GO GET THEM! This book is the final in the series and I couldn't wait to continue the story of Mikah and Vivienne but at the same time I am so sad to see it end. Zoey Derrick is an amazing writer that has you hooked from the beginning. This story is so magical. Even though it is a paranormal type book I found myself feeling like I was really part of the world. During this book Mikah learns about what everyone is around him. We also learn more about Riley and his evil side and learn about who Vivienne's father is!! Shocking but at the same time so fitting. This book had me at the edge of my seat, in tears and then smiling. I am hoping Zoey may come out with a spin off series or continue this with another story line as I love all the characters so much.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Shattered Embrace: An Adoption Tale - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's P.R. Newton Page; Review: Received an ecopy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Shattered Embrace is an harrowing journey through the world of international adoptions. P.R. Newton deftly weaves the narrative together, switching between multiple viewpoints, including Tory's personal blog posts and the events as seen through the baby Bethlehem's unique perspective. Newton's own experience with adoption brings a strong element of realism and credibility to the novel. Newton's skill as an author is evident as she brings us to the emotional highs and lows of Matt, Tory and Bethlehem's journey leading up to their first meeting and as they try to overcome the scars of their past and build a family together. Shattered Embrace is a must-read!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: A Vampire's Salvation - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Virna DePaul Page; Review: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This is a steamy, hot yet fast read. I am only giving this book a 3 stars because I found that there was too much to explore in this book for it to be a novella. I love the concept of the vampire's walking among everyone else. Jake is looking for his soul mate and found it in Frankie. Jake being the alpha-male and Frankie on the mend from a really horrible experience as a teen, they really did make a good pair. I felt that the storyline would have been much better for a full length novel and I look forward to reading more in this series. The romance was hot for sure but not raunchy. It was a great read for those nights you just want to sit and finish a book. I give this book 3 stars out of 5.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: One Week: 365 Days - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Zoey Derrick Page; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. One Week, where do I even start? Zoey Derrick does it again, she hooks you right from the start. This is definitely different than her other books but is a fabulous change. One Week is very heavy on the hot romance BDSM but still tastefully Zoey Derrick. I love the story line, one week in Vegas with the girlfriends to have fun and forget a good for nothing, cheating ex when Decotah meets a dark and handsome man that has a offer hard to resist. Will Decotah take this mystery mans offer without even knowing his name? Remember what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? Some fun never really hurt anyone anyways. Decotah takes on Orion's fabulous offer and spends just one week with him at his beck and call. Dining, shopping and drinking out of her league. Finding out his real name is Derek Hunter, who is a man of wealth. The romance is hot they love even hotter! I love that this book is so different from the rest of Zoey Derrick's books but is so easily written. Zoey does a fabulous job developing the characters and story that will hook you from the start and have you wanting more of Derek along with Decotah. I love how if you have read other novels from Zoey Derrick that you will notice there is an overlapping which makes it so much fun. Not a series but just something to tie her books together. Decotah is a great character, she has her insecurities but is strong, loveable, down to earth and comfortable in her own skin. She is really a model character for young women. Another fabulous story from Zoey Derrick that you will not want to miss! I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: First To Fall (The Avalon series, Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Carys Jones Page; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is the first book I have read of Carys and I look forward to reading more especially in the Avalon series. I have started to get back into mystery novels and this was a welcomed book to get me back into them. This story flows well and I found the author does a great job with the character development. I truly loved Aiden! Not so much his wife Isla but it does make for an interesting couple for sure. Avalon is one of those small towns where everyone knows everyone and their business. I just knew Aiden would get attached too much to the first case in his new job and I really enjoyed the character Brandy, I do hope she shows up in the next book. This book was a fast read I read almost half of it in my first sitting, I am sure I would have finished faster if the kids were not on summer vacation. The ending came way to fast but I didn't really see it coming. I was totally surprised with the end twist and look forward to Aiden's new case. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars! If you enjoy a light mystery you really should check out this series.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Meditation Now: A Beginner's Guide: 10-Minute Meditations to Restore Calm and Joy Anytime, Anywhere - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Elizabeth Reninger Page; Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. While reading it I actually felt a feeling of calmness come over me. I didn't know much about meditation before reading this book and I found this was a great beginners guide. I didn't feel overwhelmed by the teachings and felt that I could practice each meditation as it was thoroughly explained well for beginners. It does seem like a focused & spiritual meditation but this is just what I have been looking for. Each section talks about a different way to meditate and there are exercises to do with each one. You can set your timer for up to 10 minutes to practice each meditation which I found very helpful. I look forward to going back through this book and using meditation in my daily life along with yoga. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Juicing for Health: 81 Juicing Recipes and 76 Ingredients Proven to Improve Health and Vitality - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Mendocino Press Page; Review: As a person new to juicing this was a really informative book on juicing and how it can help in aiding with your health. I love the section on what each fruit & veggie is good for and it also lets us know what vitamins/nutrients are in them. There is a section on spices to add in your juices and the benefits of each of these also. If you are looking to use juicing to cleanse this is a great book as it has a lot of information on cleansing along with a 3 & 7 day juicing detox that is laid out for exactly what you should be doing. The end of the book has tons of recipes! I also love the list of fruits & veggie that go well together to pack a powerful health benefits to some common problems like acne, constipation, fatigue, etc. I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars for a great guide to the health benefits of juicing. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Real BBQ: The Ultimate Step-by-Step Smoker Cookbook - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Rockridge Press Page; Review: This is a book about using Smokers. It has the history of smokers and tons of facts! It is packed full of information for anyone looking to get started with smoking meats. I love that it has a section on how to choose your proteins. I find there are tons of great advice especially as a newbie when it comes to really choosing the right cuts of meat etc. I also like that it teaches you how to smoke seafood. We love to eat fish and salmon is my favorite so I am really excited to get a smoker and learn how to make incredible foods with this book. Not sure what equipment you need to get started? no worries and this book breaks down the different smokers out on the market and also what tools you will need and even where to get your wood. The recipes are not just for the advanced, there are tons for beginners and intermediate smokers. I love how the recipes are set up including which wood they recommend and breaking the sets down to make it super simple to follow even for a beginner cook. At the end of a recipe there is also a spot Pair It, which gives you ideas to pair your tasty meats with. They also include great and easy side dish recipes. Different veggie dishes and salads. Great rub and sauce recipes included that can be also used for other meals other than smoking. I have handed this book over to my hubby as he is the BBQ man of the house and loves to learn how to make delicious meats. I hope to enjoy lots of these recipes over the summer. I received this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Heartfelt (Fierce Hearts Book 3) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lynn Crandall Page; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is the first book I have read of Lynn Crandall's and I was hooked from the first page. This is book 3 in the series in which I haven't read the first two books yet but I found that it could easily be a stand alone. The characters are well developed and I fell in love with Conrad and Asia. Their relationship is strictly friendship at the beginning and they have been friends for years. Asia is half were-lynx and determined to have a normal life with a normal guy. Lately I haven't been reading paranormal but I found this novel to have a great storyline that flowed nicely keeping me wanting to read more. If I had the time I am sure I would have read this book in one sitting. Darn life getting in the way of my reading! I can't wait to read more from Lynn Crandall and more from this series. I give this book a 4 stars out of 5; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Thirteen - Kindle edition; Brand: Shannon L. Peel; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. First off, I love that this story is set in Canada. It is set in Vancouver near the American border. I am Canadian and love stories set here. This is the first book I have read from Shannon Peel and was very pleased with the authors writing. It flowed really well together and the author developed the backdrop without over doing it. I will admit that Jack (the main character) got on my nerves sometimes but I just kept reminding myself that is what a thirteen year old boy is like. They are coming into their manhood and moving away from needing mom. Jack lives with his mom full time and only sees his dad, who moved into the city, every second weekend. This book is one of my "broaden my genres" books and I was pretty impressed. I enjoyed it a lot. North Korea invades Canada and starts taking people to camps, the stadium and the arena depending on who they are. They ration food to the community and threaten to kill anyone who is caught with more food than they are allowed. Everyone has been given the rules and know the consequence for breaking them. With everything going on in the world today this story very well could be real. It is a YA novel and I would suggest it for 12 years and older because of the little violence in it. The are a few scenes when people are killed and Jack witnesses it. The author had me hanging on to my kindle pretty tight at one spot when Jack, his mom, and cop Nick risk their lives to search for Jack's dad Jason. They need to cross boarders that the North Korean military have set up. Yikes! If you do not like cliffhangers you may want to wait to read this book as the reader is left wanting to know more. I actually said out loud "REALLY, ARGH!" while my husband sat beside me laughing as he knew it must have been a cliffhanger I had hit. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars and I recommend it to anyone who love YA action, war type books.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Yoga for Beginners: Simple Yoga Poses to Calm Your Mind and Strengthen Your Body - Kindle edition; Brand: Althea Press; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. If you are looking to start yoga this is a great resource book. It is packed full of great information on the history, poses, how to eat, meditation, and making sequences. The author is direct without any added fluff. It is really a KISS (keep it simple stupid) book for people looking to expand their knowledge of yoga. I have been practicing yoga for about a year now and found a lot of useful information in this book. I am not huge history person but I do want to know where yoga came from and the author tells us without rambling on and losing me. I love how clean and crisp the book is laid out. Each pose has a bit of information about the purpose, preceding pose, counter pose, precautions, the yoga term/name with the English name. The section on nutrition is broken down into ways people can eat to be healthier without saying there is only one way to eat. The meditation section is direct to the point with five different meditations to learn. I found this to be the best meditation that I have found that is to the point and don't have me feeling overwhelmed in the end. I know I could sit down and do any one or all of the five with no problems on knowing how to do each meditation. I really want to learn how to make my own yoga sequence and this book had a really good breakdown making me feel more confident in being able to accomplish this on my own. I give this a 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn yoga.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Loot - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Chris Keane Page; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. If you remember the Atari 2600 game system then this will bring you down memory lane, this is a quick read that is just perfect for the fall/Halloween time. It is about friendship, adventure and games! Andy, Teddy and Carl need to get their hands on the Atari 2600 system but can't get their parents to buy one. Andy has the perfect way to get a hold of some money to buy the Atari and all the games out if the boys can get to his Great Aunt's house, who just passed away and hated banks, so rumor has it she has money stashed all over the farmhouse. Only problem is they need to find the hidden loot before any of his cousins get their hands on it. The three boys head out on the bus to the old farmhouse and have quite the adventure to obtain some loot and miss out on all the candy loot from Halloween. I look forward to reading more from Chris Keane as I fully believe this would have been a great full length novel. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: I Will Survive; Brand: Visit Amazon's Dana Burkey Page; Review: I received a copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review. This audio book was super fun to listen to and quick. I believe it was just over an hour long, prefect for my commute to work. It has lots of great tips for when the Zombies take over the world. After listening to it, I am sure I will survive the Zombie infested world! There were some tips I didn't even think of but they really are a good idea. If you are planning on surviving the Zombie apocalypse then you will want to grab a copy of this Audio or ebook and learn from Addison what you will need to know to get through it. It is super quick but full of ideas on how to stay alive. I look forward to reading about Dana's Zombie series. I give this audio book a 4 out of 5. The narrator did a great job and I found it easy to listen to.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Drake / Keir: Girl Wife Prisoner retold - Kindle edition; Brand: Hanna Peach; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. After reading Girl Wife Prisoner I was totally HOOKED! I fell in love with the story and the characters and felt really said when the book was done. It was one of those stories where you really want to keep reading but you also don't want to because when it is done you are now without your characters. I am a Team Keir and just absolutely love the gardener boy. I love the relationship Noriko and Keir have. I love everything about him. He is sweet, hard working, sexy and just wants to love Noriko and he would do anything for her. I was so happy when I heard that Hanna Peach was writing the story retold by Keir. I just wanted to get into his head and feel his emotions from his point of view. This is exactly what the author does with this story. We also get the chance to hear Drake's side of the story. He is a dark, sexy man that is super troubled and didn't have a great upbringing. For most of his story I almost turned to a team Drake also but there is still something there that I can't. I really can't look past the hurt he causes throughout the story. I do feel for him and would have love to see him figure out his temper and past making something of himself. To me I will also love Keir. A fabulous job done with this story retold. I think it was a great idea so that the readers can really see how each of the men dealt with their emotions throughout it. Again I want to give this a 6 out of 5 stars. I am dying for book #2!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Defying the Boss: A Billionaire Christmas Novelette - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's A. Zavarelli Page; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I just have to say I loved this book, novelette. It was a super quick read, the author hooks you from the very beginning and holds you right to the end. She doesn't just tell the story from Aspen's character but make you feel Aspen's heartache for a man who doesn't see her for more than his assistant. I don't want to give away the ending but it isn't really how you think it is going to go. This is a clean erotic romance, yes there is sex but it isn't racy or crude. It is sexy without going into too much detail but makes you feel hot and bothered by Kane, mmm. Sexy, tall, dark, handsome and rich, oh my. A great story! I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. A fun holiday read that can be read in under an hour.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Holly Berry (Naughty or Nice? #1): A Christmas Fairy Story - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Emma Jaye Page; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. When I think of Christmas, Santa and fairies I don't think kinky BDSM sex. This book is a new one for me but I really enjoyed it! Holly is a Christmas fairy who turns out to be a horrible fairy with a problematic attitude, while Santa was making her, he swore and things messed up. Holly loves pain, she has cuffs with spikes that she will press into her wrist to feel the pain, being a sub came pretty natural but she also has an attitude to resist it. I love the change of pace from the typical erotic novels as this one involves a fun, darker adult side to the holiday wishes and some hot romance. Santa sends Holly out on her first Christmas wish in the adult department and Holly enjoys being a sub to her new Dom, Kian. The author does a great job with the development of characters, Holly being a fun spunky fairy, one of a kind. The story moves at a great pace and I never once felt like skipping or putting down the book. The sexual tension with Kian and Holly kick it up a notch in the last 20% or so and I didn't want to see their story end. I am excited to read more of this series. I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Winter Wedding Bells: An Anthology - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Karen Rock Page; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this anthology. I believe this is the first book I have read that was written by more than one author and all the stories intertwined with one another. I have a hard time picking my favourite but I would say the first two The Kiss and The Wish were my faves. The Kiss - I loved the characters in it. The author did a great job with giving us enough backdrop from eight years before when Julie and Austin were together to be able to feel like we know the characters. In short books this can be hard sometimes to have great character development but I feel that Karen did a great job. It wasn't a sappy romance but it was a clean romance with a happy ever ending. The Wish - I love Chef Nico. There is just something about his character, the kind nice and how gentle he is. Taking care of Noelle after she fell in his kitchen. Another great sweet romance that is tied to the first story but with different characters. The Promise - was also a good story but I think my thing was it was pretty similar to the first story and I didn't feel connected with the characters as I did in the first two stories. Overall? I give this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars and would definitely read more Harlequin Heartwarming novels in the future.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Probabilities (Fierce Hearts Book 4) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lynn Crandall Page; Review: I received this book in exchange for an honest review Another great paranormal read from Lynn Crandall. This is book #4 of this series, I have only read books 3 before this one. I would say this is a stand alone but reading the last book did help me know more about The Nexus Group (TNG) and Marcus. This book focuses on Tizzy and Quinn. Tizzy is in remission from cancer, she knows that her chances of having it come back is great, she also can't have children because of it. She has sworn off love and relationships. Quinn has a high IQ and has always felt out of place around kids in his age group growing up, he was also molested when he was five by his fourteen year old male babysitter. He has been dealing with both of these since. Quinn and Tizzy can't keep their friendship only promise and find themselves dealing with their hardships together. This is a great story of love, life, and death. Even though it is a paranormal book with were-lynx and their special abilities, I found it went much deeper with the topics of death and dealing with hardships. It even had me on the verge of tears near the ending. I give this book a 4.5 out of 5 stars.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Something in the Air: A Homecoming Romance - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ben Starling Page; Review: I received a copy in exchange for an honest review. If you like to read novella's or short stories this is a great little story of love. This story feels like it picks up where another book may have left off. We are meeting the two main characters who knew each other years ago. I was a little confused how many years it was since they last seen each other, in the end I think it was around 3 years. Their romance advances and Daniel decides to find work and stay at his uncles place. I found it was a fast paced story and it was over before I knew it. I was a little upset with the ending as I would have loved the story to continue a little longer. I also wish we would have learned more of a back story to Daniel's post traumatic stress disorder. We can only assume that he has it as he doesn't want to spend the night asleep with Willow. I give this book a 3 star out of 5.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Worst Laid Plans (A Maddox Storm Mystery Book 1) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Claire Robyns Page; Review: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I haven't read many cozy mysteries lately. I am going to get back into them after this book. This was a great lil cozy mystery. I love that the author wrote it in first person point of view, Maddox. I love the main character. Actually it is hard not too like all the main characters. They live in a small town where everyone knows everyone. Word travels fast that Maddie is back in town and staying at the Hallow House. Out of the blue this little town is shaken with the death of Ms. Daggon (who not many really liked anyways, bless her soul). Maddox finds herself in a pickle every time she opens her mouth around Detective Bishop (Nate). Then things get more and more interesting. It is a fun who dunnit novel with fun characters that I am sure you will love. The author did a fabulous job at keeping a great pace with the story line and roping the reader in from the start. I can't wait to see what happens in book #2! I give this a 5 out of 5 stars as I had a really hard time putting this book down.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Peppermint Pandemonium (Sweet Home Mystery Series Book 5) - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Constance Barker Page; Review: I received a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. I love a great cozy mystery and this was one of those. It was a quick audiobook at just around three hours long. I didn't want to stop listening so I put it on every chance I had. There are a couple mysteries that take place in this small town where everyone knows everyone. Who is making the cats sick and who hurt the older lady in the market square? Lily and Jules will figure it all out. Super cute and a lot of fun, this story makes a great Christmas mystery read/listen. A lil romance and mystery all rolled into this story. Narrator ~ Angel Clark: The narrator sounds like she had a blast doing this book. I love how she changes her voice for all the characters and I didn't find any of them to be annoying to listen to. I found she has a great voice for story telling and can't wait to listen to more by Angel Clark. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars and look forward to reading/listening to more from this author.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: I Let You Go: The Richard & Judy Bestseller - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Clare Mackintosh Page; Review: I don't even know how I will review this book without giving out spoilers! I will try my hardest to not include spoilers. I will warn you if I am about to. Here are some words that come to mind - amazing, twisted, suspenseful, will keep you turning pages from the very start. The book is written in first person for some characters/chapters, third person for the investigators and first person past tense for another character later on in the book. With a handful of different characters intertwining their lives the author does this very well. At first I wondered why she didn't label chapters with characters names but then I see why and it makes a lot of sense. I was taken by surprise a few times. This is an emotional read and will tug at your heart strings. warning; it does talk about sexual/physical violence. There were times I found myself on the edge of tears or gasping out loud. The authors police history shows up in the detective parts of the book and make it more real life action. There are stories within the story with the characters and a lot of back story. I found it roping me into wanting/thinking more about each character and what their lives were like before and after. The author also leaves us with an ending that will stay with you. Is there more to this or is it really over? For a debut novel, this is fantastic! I really enjoyed this story and will look forward to more from Clare MacKintosh. I give this book a 5 star! I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review & to take part in a book club; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Bled - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Eddie Slain Page; Review: I enjoy reading horror, psychological and erotica books but usually they are not all rolled into one like Bled. This book is raw, raw, raw. It gets its teeth into you from the first couple pages and hooks you along until you come to the end. This book is not my typical read but I was very interested in seeing how the novel would unfold. I knew from the beginning that it isn't your average horror or erotica novel, it does contain explicit sexual scenes. That in mind I jump in with both feet and an open mind. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. Why? Because I found it hooked my attention right away, kept me picking back up the book until I was finished. I love the writing style of Slain and was fascinated with the story he was able to tell. Never would I have thought Geocaching would be so dangerous. Cassie is a tough girl, she won't take any crap from anyone especially not her boyfriend, who really needs emotional help and some anger management. She even has some great kicka#$ moves that will get her out of trouble. This book does have abuse emotionally and physically, so there were times that I couldn't wait to get through a certain part. All in all I think Slain did a great job on his debut novel and I can't wait to read more by him. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Where I Lost Her - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's T. Greenwood Page; Review: T. Greenwood jumps right into the story with this book called Where I lost her. We follow Tess as she spots a little girl who was all alone late at night on the back road near where Tess is visiting her friends. I did find the first half of the book a little slow for my liking but it did pick up and I was really interested in finding out if what Tess saw was true or is she was having a mental breakdown. The author does a great job weaving in back history of Tess and Jake keeping us on our toes wondering if the stress of not having a child of their own has spun this tale. I was hooked. Gripping to the story and wondering what was truly happening, who is actually involved and did what and if they would really find this little girl in time. I give this book a 3.5 out of 5 just because I found that the first half was slow but I do look forward to reading more from this author. ~*Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.*~; Rating: 4.0/5.0

I've used it for a month and the sound is perfect on both ends. The only flaw - no mute button (hence the four stars instead of five). Otherwise, highly recommended!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Logitech ClearChat Wireless USB Headset - Black; Brand: Logitech; Review: I was very excited to receive these headphones and was encouraged by the positive reviews. Maybe I got a bum pair... they are terrible! The headset sound quality coming in is great. It's the outbound - when I speak through the microphone - that is completely, totally, 100% unacceptable. I'm a coach and need a reliable headset for calls. I called my husband on it, without telling him that I was using a new unit, and he declared it terrible and said "never use that for business, it's way too annoying." I use Skype w/Vista. I tried a few things (plugging USB in directly, using the adapter, adjusting the mic up and down, sitting next to the computer, moving around) and it was all hideous. The sound is metallic and has feedback, sounds very far away, cuts in and out... listening back to the recordings is painful. I'm really disappointed, but I'm sending these back. The $13 Plantronics corded headset I bought almost a year ago outperforms this thing by leaps and bounds.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: Speck Products SeeThru Satin Soft Touch, Hard Shell Case for MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13-Inch, Malachite Green (SPK-A1892); Brand: Speck; Review: I ordered this case for my MBP w/Retina (late 2013) and it fits it perfectly. If you didn't know it was a snap-on case, you'd think it was just the color of the laptop. I love the satin soft touch; it feel classier and more professional than glossy. I chose the Peacock Blue color, and was a bit surprised when I opened the package that it was more Peacock Green. I expected it to be bluer. It's still a really pretty color. I just had to adjust to the green. And in my excitement to put it on my laptop, I didn't look at the enclosed illustrations and put the shell part that goes on the screen side on upside-down. I had a devil of a time getting it off... I thought I was going to break it trying. But once I got it loose (with patience and gentle lifting at the very small tab holders), it snapped on easily after I oriented the way it was intended. This was my first Speck Product, and based on my experience so far (2 weeks or so), I'd buy again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Bluetooth Speaker, Alpatronix AX400 Portable Mini Wireless Stereo Speaker with 6W Loud Volume, Subwoofer, Built-in Mic,; Brand: Alpatronix; Review: Updated 3/13/14: I decided to have another go at this product when Alpatronix left a response to my review. My new speaker works great. I'm so glad I decided to have another go at it. Recommended! Original review: This unit is cute, compact and portable. The Bluetooth functionality was the big attraction, and it paired up fine with both my Macbook Pro and Android phone. The sound was sufficient for my needs (I work in an office alone, and it's mostly very quiet). HOWEVER, the reason I'm returning it is because no matter how I hooked it up - Bluetooth or 3.5mm jack - it emitted a thin, high pitched buzz whenever it was playing music. If I turn it up loud enough, I don't hear it. But I don't want it that loud, and bottom line, it shouldn't squeal at me! Since I listen to a lot of classical music at work, this is especially unacceptable. Think dog whistle pitch. It doesn't emit the sound when it's not playing back anything, but as soon as I start streaming music through it, it squeals. I'm disappointed and sending it back. The two stars are for good intentions and aesthetics. It gets zero stars for the glass-shattering whine.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: MagicFiber Microfiber Cleaning Cloths, 30 PACK; Brand: MagicFiber; Review: Exactly what I was looking for.

The clamshell was a sturdy design, but heavy and limited. My G3 iBook 800 was great, worked well, but the screen was a little small (dense) and it didn't quite fit on the lap. Plus I wasn't a fan of the drive tray. So this new design is far better. It is much sturdier. They replaced EVERY material in construction for the better, improved battery life, and it is much faster. It might just be the perfect laptop at any price. For most people, it can even replace a desktop. Comes with tony hawk, plays beautifully. All other apps I have work perfectly, airport extreme is faster than airport, and keyboard is MUCH better (no longer squishy, better feedback). You will not regret buying this machine. Not sure that the 1GHz is worth the extra money. This model hits the sweet spot.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Logitech Harmony 676 Universal Remote Control (Discontinued by Manufacturer); Brand: Logitech; Review: many others have covered what's so great about this remote. i agree. i've dealt with all sorts of universal remotes, from the sonys to advanced crestron systems, and for the money, this is the best you can do. once you get it setup, it works. initial setup is fast. then you can tweak it as much as you want. i set this up for my brother-in-law and sister. my brother-in-law gets frustrated with remotes easily, and the only way he could find to not get this one to work was to fail to actually point it at the IR receiver in the wall. you can't fault harmony for that... ;) my sister has had zero problems. while playing with it for a few days, I found myself thinking: "this is good, but I wish it could do this." only to find out from the website that you CAN do that! I'm now buying one for myself, and I also convinced my cousin to get one, and get the 676 over the more expensive color screen 880. as for why this is the best Harmony so far? button layout is just the most logical and easiest to deal with, it's not overdesigned, and it is at a good price point. they all setup the same way (so features are common among all of them). this one is just a great design, good in your hand, and the TRANSPORT buttons are in a good place and easy to understand, important in today's TiVo and DVD centric world.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: SanDisk Ultra II SD Plus with USB 512MB (SDSDPH-512-901, Retail Package); Brand: SanDisk; Review: While this is the more expensive of SD cards out there, it is the only one I know of that has it's own USB flash interface built in and combines it with Ultra2 speeds. This card is FAST, and being able to just plug it right into my laptop to download the photos is beyond convenient. No more draining camera batteries during transfer, no need for camera software on ANY computer, and no need to bring you connection cable on a trip. Buy this product. You won't regret it. PS - I'm using it in a Casio camera.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Sharp Aquos LC32D42U 32-Inch LCD HDTV; Brand: Sharp; Review: This TV has a lot going for it. Nice looks, good picture. If you want to replace a 27" tube TV, this is the set for you, as a 4:3 image is 27" on this set (unstretched), and you won't damage it by watching black bars. And of course filling the screen with movies and HDTV is gorgeous. Here are some of the many positives: +Strong Digital Tuner (brings in every digital channel in LA from a RadioShack table top antenna pointed through multiple walls!) +Amazing HDTV picture from that Digital Tuner +Many inputs means plenty of options (I have mine hooked up to my laptop via VGA, my satellite via RCA, and HDTV antenna via Coax) +Satellite hooked up over 50' RCA (composite) cable looks as clean as progressive DVD. That means very good color decoder and scaler. +Good DVD upscaling, though I notice slight jaggies when compared to hooking up a computer set to the native resolution of the display and letting the computer do the scaling. Considering how much more processing power a computer has, you can't fault the TV for that. But if you have an HTPC, DVDs will look their best played through that. But there are minuses: -Red bias in color decoder means you have to turn color setting down below optimal to compensate. Looks good, but could be better. I may go into the service menu and see if this can be fixed manually. -Horrible Analog tuner. Satellite sent over Channel 3, which looks great on other TV sets, looks bad on this set, but same picture sent via composite RCA looks amazing. -Fussy menus, could be more logical, functional. -No direct input addressing. -No direct Digital TV addressing. You must use auto setup, which is time consuming, to add channels it missed if you didn't have your antenna pointed well. Then you have to go back and delete the channels you don't want a second time. -Can't get black blacks without compressing the darks. This is a typical LCD problem, though all the companies claim to have fixed it. None seem to have yet. -Smart Stretch is pretty "dumb" in that it has a noticeable spot where the picture stretches. Not fluid like the Panasonic Smart Stretch, and of course, some brands don't have it at all, but still could be improved. After owning a Panasonic Plasma and setting up my sister's Panny Plasma and Panny LCD Projector, I know how Smart Stretch is supposed to look... ;) -Why is the remote so huge!!! And why is it so limited in what it can operate? You can program in Satellite tuners, for example, but not DirecTV or DishNetwork, the two largest US providers. And why are some important buttons, like sleep, hidden behind a door and unlit? The light button doesn't glow in the dark, and the Sleep button is unlit. It's as if Sharp doesn't understand why a remote is lit to begin with. -Buttons on top of the set means if you have the set on top of a dresser or other; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: SanDisk SDDR-121-A11M MobileMate Micro Memory Card Reader (Red/Black); Brand: SanDisk; Review: I don't find it much faster than hooking my Sony Phone to my computer using the USB cable, but it is convenient to be able to use this little card reader, and it works fine. Wish it had an LED providing feedback...; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: APC LE1200 Line-R 1200VA Automatic Voltage Regulator; Brand: APC; Review: This thing is heavy, which is usually a good sign for this type of product. It does what even good UPS's don't, and that's regulate your power even when it fluctuates mildly. Sure, many products will protect you from 140V+ or turn on at 90V, but that's still enough to burn out everything from a simple wall wart power brick to a DVR from dishnetwork. I know, as I've experienced such things with my crappy Los Angeles power service. In afternoons, it'll drop to 110V, and if I use the garbage disposal, a laser printer, or turn on my stereo and 2 amplifiers, voltage drops below 108V. This is enough to destroy many sensitive products over time. It's so bad in my house, that it's destroyed two UPS's by forcing them to click on and off so much and to compensate for low voltage so much they burned out! The APC LE1200 prevents this damage. It clicks on and returns voltage levels back to around 120V at a level high enough that your electronics don't get damage before they are protected (what's the point of protection that only helps once the damage is done?). I know it's working because I can hear it click on, and return power to the right levels even as my house voltage sits at 106-108V (confirmed by the voltage meter in my Panamax). I'm so impressed with the performance of this unit in my home theater that I bought 2 more, one to protect my computer (it installs between the UPS and the wall to protect the computer and the UPS), and one for my plasma TV (because it's located away from my HT equipment). At $50 a piece, this thing is a no brainer. A quality UPS is 3-5x as much and still doesn't protect your equipment as well. And it can burn out. The LE1200 has little chance of burning out, so for equipment that doesn't need battery backup, or even to feed a UPS, this product is the way to go.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Etymotic Research ER6i Isolator In-Ear Earphones (White) (Discontinued by Manufacturer); Brand: Etymotic Research; Review: This is my second pair. The first lasted two years, but the cord in the right phone eventually disconnected internally from the phone. Has Ety improved the design in all this time? Nope. Still the same super thin cords with no strain relief! They did drop the price over time, so that's a plus. With my old pair I bought custom fit ear molds to go with them. This set will take those same molds. I just have to find them... :) But the included "plug" styles are improved over the old model. The triple rubber plug works relatively well. It won't block out more than 20dB, but that's still pretty good. My ear canals do itch after 4 hours or so, which means on longer airline flights they are not that great. The ear molds don't have that problem (they are comfortable for a long time because they are form fitted to your ears and custom made), so once I find the old ones, I'll be happy. Either way, I like these better than noise canceling headphones for flying, because they block out more noise, are WAY smaller to travel with, and also block out sound pressure (noise canceling phones actually add more sound pressure, just out of phase). If you get headaches from flying, in-ear phones will likely solve it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Wacom Cintiq 12WX 12-Inch Pen Display; Brand: Wacom; Review: There are good things, many people have listed them. But for $1000, it should be much better. Here are a list of the shortcomings that are not excusable for this price: -Poor viewing angles. Wacom says you should use the color profiles that come with the display as it has been properly calibrated at the factory. And yes, color is perfect. At least Hue and Saturation. Verified with ColorSync advanced setup. But if the brightness and contrast changes if you move your head, well, it isn't accurate, is it? I assumed that this 12.1" display was going to be higher quality than the crappy displays you get in a MacBook or thin Windows Laptop. Wrong. Same horrible viewing angles and hot spots. Basically a cheep laptop monitor in a Wacom case. -Poor tracking. Wacom is the standard. Supposedly this is based on an Intuos pad. But Wacom gives 2 points of calibration. That's right, 2 points. Upper left, lower right. That means that if you move the pen along the line drawn between those points, it's calibrated. But not in the lower left of upper right. Not at all. Any professional product should have at minimum 5 points of calibration. 4 corners and center. 2 is what my GameBoy DS has, and frankly, it tracks better and faster. Wacom needs to improve their driver and they could accomplish this. And of course since you can't touch the bottom 5 pixels of the screen, good luck if you had your dock hidden down there (Mac only). I have to have the dock squished to the side, which makes it harder to use, especially with a dual monitor setup. -Lots of cables and the brick. It works well, but still. With all that cabling and hardware, you'd think they could provide a DVI/VGA passthrough port. -1st grader pen. The grip pen is just not logical. No artists tools I use have that shape. Pencils, pens, brushes, all are thinner. I am used to sketching with Colorase and drafting pencils, so I won't be using this grip pen. Can I get used to it? Sure, probably, but then it will be more awkward to switch back and forth between the Cintiq and real paper and pencil. I ordered the classic pen, which should arrive in a few days. But that's another $50 to spend, when it should have either been the default pen provided, or BOTH pens should have been provided. -Software. They have been downgrading the bundles over time with their tablets, but at $1000, we should get more than Painter Light and Photoshop Light, since the vast, vast VAST majority of Cintiq customers already own Photoshop. I mean, you don't spend $1000 on a Cintiq without already owning a full version of Photoshop, so what value is Elements to anyone? Dump it and provide more brush plugins and the Classic pen instead. And a full version of Painter would be nice. Everything I list is fixable after the fact except for the LCD quality. Bundle can be improved, driver can be upgraded to; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: SanDisk SDMSM2-008G-A11M 8GB M2 Memory Stick Micro (Black); Brand: SanDisk; Review: Sure, it's no 32GB iPod touch, but my Sony K550i Phone now has 1000+ songs on it, plus some episodes of Entourage, plus photos with room for 300+ more. Recognized and formatted immediately by the phone, worked fine in my M2 USB reader with my Mac. Transferring files is still slow, as the M2/USB interface seems to max out at 2MB per second, and on the Mac, you can't copy more than 32 files at a time (due to the FAT16 format of the card having a conflict with OS X Finder), but once I put the 1000 songs on, that's not a big deal.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Kingston SSDNow V Series 64 GB SATA 3GB/s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive with Desktop Upgrade Kit Bundle SNV125-S2BD/64GB; Brand: Kingston Technology; Review: He doesn't own it and he's wrong. Is it the fastest drive? No. It's the least expensive. It is about 1/2 the speed of the high end SSDs, for less than 1/2 the price. It is faster than 7200rpm drives for things like access and small reads/writes, which is what you notice most when using an OS. A fast 7200rpm can be faster on large file write/reads, but not enough for anyone to claim that in a notebook, this drive is beaten by these drives. Putting this SSD in a Toshiba netbook was an amazing transformation. It also booted my MacBook Pro, as an external USB HD, in about 1/2 the time it takes to boot from the internal 7200rpm drive, which is connected directly by SATA. That's real world. The other reviewer has no experience, but because he can "read specs" he thinks he knows everything. Ignore him. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Kingston SSDNow V+Series 64 GB SATA 3GB/s 2.5-Inch Solid State Drive with Notebook Upgrade Kit Bundle SNVP325-S2B/64GB; Brand: Kingston; Review: I have 2 V-Series drives (64GB and 128GB) and they are great. Good price, nice build, reliable. One is running in a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard, and makes that machine feel twice as fast. The other is in a Toshiba netbook, and makes that one usable, faster than my GF's core duo Toshiba laptop with a mechanical HD. And the external enclosures are a nice touch, making it easier to transfer files and giving you an external backup drive if you are replacing your internal drive with the SSD. Will say that the V series enclosures are not high quality, as 1 out of 2 failed, but the V+ looks to have a better enclosure. Then again, they are not provided as rugged day to day enclosures, but simply as a convenient way to transfer files during the upgrade, as laptops usually have only one SATA port. If you want a day to day enclosure, spend real money and buy a good one. :) I do plan on buying a V+ series for my next laptop, as it will be even faster than the V-Series I am using now. But I had to enter a 5-star review simply to cancel out the 1-star from the guy who wants to buy a USA market product, ship it to south america, and have his warranty honored. After all, if low reviews stand, it hurts sales. If sales are hurt, then it keeps the prices high, as kingston won't sell many and can't offer discounts based on economy of scale. All because some naive person thinks it's unfair that he should abide by the warranty terms and source the drive locally...; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Kingston SSDNow V Series 128 GB SATA 3 GB/s; Brand: Kingston; Review: I actually own the drive (including this external case), and just ask buyers to ignore the troll who wants to buy this product gray market.

This is NOT a transcoder. A transcoder is expensive. This cable does not translate VGA to Component. If anyone thinks this cable will do that, please don't give it 1 star when it doesn't. This cable simply properly connects three RCA plugs on one end with the correct pins on an HD15 on the other end for devices that can use an HD15 for Component signals. There are exactly two situations where this cable will work. 1. If your computer or video card has a CONFIGURABLE HD15 connector on it that allows you to choose Computer out OR Component out. If your computer has this feature, and yes, some PCs and PC video cards do (mostly older ones, including some Radeons), then this cable should work for you. No Mac as far as I know has this feature (using a VGA or HDMI connector), despite many begging apple to implement it (the hardware was capable). 2. If you have a video monitor with an HD15 in that is configurable or autosenses a component signal coming in vs. a computer signal. I happen to have one of these monitors (an older Panasonic Plasma professional monitor) and this cable works for this. You can connect a 2nd (or 3rd, in my case) Component input to my monitor. Why might this be of value? Because it allows for one input to show a computer signal one day, a component signal another day. And considering in a professional environment or a commercial installation, the in wall cable runs might be limited (and there may be no component cable run in the wall), this is a solution implemented by professional monitor companies to get the signal you need to a location that might already exist. If you don't have these situations, don't buy the cable, or if you do buy it, don't give it 1 star. Just return it and feel silly in private. It's not anyone's fault but your own when you don't buy the right product.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Cables4PC A12495 Gold Plated 6-Feet VGA/HD15/RGB to 3 RGB Component for TV/HDTV Cable; Brand: Cables4PC; Review: Ignore ANYONE who buys this cable to connect a computer to a TV and gives it 1-3 stars because it didn't work. Ignore those who wrote "I read the warnings but bought it anyway" and then complained. These people have no clue. This cable does NOT convert any signal. It is used in situations where the devices are expecting a certain signal. It is not misleading, and there really isn't a need for a manual because it doesn't do anything requiring installation. Does any other cable come with a manual or instructions? "Plug it in." Case 1: your computer video card can be CONFIGURED to output Component video (various HD resolutions or SD 480p). This is configured in the control panel/pane. Some ATI products had this ability, others required a dongle with dip switches that told the card which signal to send over component (720p, 1080i, etc.). If your card was software configurable, it will tell the video card to do the conversion and send Component video over the proper pins on the VGA connector. A television or projector would then see this as an HD signal and display it. There is also a shareware utility that can hack into some cards to tell them to send the signal out correctly. Case 2: your monitor or projector can receive component signals over the VGA input port. Again, certain monitors and projectors can do this. It's more common on projectors, but my 42" Panasonic Plasma MONITOR (not TV, MONITOR) can do this. Again, you need to go into the menu of the receiving unit and tell it to look for component signal over the particular input. Case 3: very rare, but there are a few older projectors and monitors with 3 connector RGB inputs (also known as SYNC on Green). But again, your output device must be able to send sync on green over VGA. This was more common 10-15 years ago. If you don't have these setups, this cable is not for you. If you rate it 1 star because it doesn't work for you and you don't have one of these setups, you need to look up the meaning of caveat emptor. Or simply investigate before you buy a product.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Sony BDPS3200 Blu-ray Disc Player with Wi-Fi (2014 Model); Brand: Sony; Review: I bought this player because I really like my new Sony 48" TV and wanted the same Netflix app experience on my older TV. I think its a good player for the price, has great picture quality playing DVDs, and has the same Netflix app as the TV. Haven't tried a BD as I don't have any. Will try USB stick videos in the future. I am taking off a star for these reasons: HDMI only, no other video out No front panel button for play/pause/stop. Weird shape. Seems pretty flimsy. Not sure if it will last...; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Rankie Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable, Mini DP to DP, 4K Ready, Gold Plated, 6 Feet; Brand: Rankie; Review: Good price and works with Macintosh without waking issues. I bought a WQHD and it arrived before the cable so I had to use dp-hdmi conversion through a thunderbolt hub for a few days. On HDMI the monitor would auto cycle inputs and wake later than the MacBook Pro. This lead to some issues. The dp-miniDP cable is still attached to the thunderbolt hub but now there is no input cycling and the monitor wakes instantly before the mbpro display. Sound also transfers as it should to the monitor so I can't complain. I know that macs are picky about non-compliant cables or cables with the power pin improperly configured so that means this cable is the real deal. Highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

This book has a complex and interesting plot making it hard to put down and one that can be read and then re-read later. A must read in other words just like all of Tey's mysteries.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management; Author: Isabella Beeton; Review: I saw this book in the opening credits for Pie in the Sky, a British mystery with a policeman that moon lights as a chef and decided to check it out. It is of interest as a historical document because it provides cooking directions when everything had to be done from scratch more than a hundred years ago. So it has pages devoted to how to make various meat and vegetable stocks for instance and how to prepare and cook various domesticated and wild animals like turtles, rabbits, and frogs as well as pheasants, quail, chicken and cattle. There are recipes that look like they would be worth trying out but sometimes it is unclear what the quantity is. In spite of all that it is an interesting document and well worth checking out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: A Clubbable Woman; Author: Visit Amazon's Reginald Hill Page; Review: I purchased this book after watching a few of the Dalziel & Pascoe shows on PBS. I found them fair not great and the same is true of this book, the first in the series. Character development is thin and the writing is not impressive. The story line is quite detailed so it's well plotted, just simplistically written. I won't be purchasing additional books by this author.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: The Siamese Twin Mystery; Author: Visit Amazon's Ellery Queen Page; Review: Trapped by a raging forest fire, the Queens retreat to a hillside mansion and are soon wrapped up in a vicious murder. The characters are well developed and the story is suspenseful. I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery and I think you will too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Betty Zane (Ohio River Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's Zane Grey Page; Review: Betty Zane is an "Eastern" real life adventure story by Zane Grey based upon diaries kept by his great grandmother, Betty Zane, describing her life and adventures after she joined her brother's family near what is now Wheeling, WV in the late 1700's. The settlers built Fort Henry for protection from Indian attacks and Betty behaved heroically in saving the fort during a prolonged attack when they ran out of gunpowder. The story of her life and the life of these early pioneers is revealing about the hazards faced by women on the frontier who were in danger of being carried off by Indians and white renegades. I don't know just how historically accurate the book is--Betty seemed to live a life of ease rather than the housework and cooking you'd expect. But I enjoyed the book and I expect you will too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The French Powder Mystery; Author: Visit Amazon's Ellery Queen Page; Review: If you enjoy the unraveling of a mysterious and inexplicable murder, you will enjoy this book. The circumstances surrounding the murder are steadily revealed with the marketer's identity revealed on the last page. An interesting and initially surprising reason for the murder of the owner's wife after store hours slowly surfaces. In classic Queen style Ellery gives the opportunity to guess who the murderer is before identifying him. What happens next was a bit unexpected but that's all I'll say.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Calamity Town; Author: Visit Amazon's Ellery Queen Page; Review: I am a fan of Ellery Queen but was not as thrilled as usual with this mystery. Ellery goes back to Wrightsville for the third time so he's in familiar territory. This time he's visiting an acquaintance who is just recovering from a bout of amnesia, and it's not the first time this has happened to him. Ellery agrees to travel to Wrightsville and stay at a guest house on the estate where his friend lives with his father, stepmother, and uncle. There he will try to determine what's causing his friend's amnesia attacks. Ellery behaves in ways that puts him and his personal reputation at risk. I have trouble believing that he would do this. That said, there's a lot happening and there's a surprise ending.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Sweet Danger; Author: Visit Amazon's Margery Allingham Page; Review: This novel finds Albert Campion in a quest to obtain title to the Heritary Paladin of Averna. The mystery is to find the parchment setting up Averna centuries ago together with the earl's crown, all of which were lost decades ago. But unscrupulous and dangerous men are also after them so that they can claim ownership of the property. With his friends backing him up, Campion succeeds in his quest while meeting Amanda who is his salient lieutenant in solving the mystery and defeating the bad guys. An interesting tale with lots of action to recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Greek Coffin Mystery (Penguin Drop Caps); Author: Visit Amazon's Ellery Queen Page; Review: This is an early mystery solved by Ellery but only told later in his career. Why? Because he goofed in solving the mystery. But solve it he eventually did. The mystery begins with the death of a supposedly rich man. He changed his will the day before his death and the sole copy of that will was discovered to be missing soon thereafter. Murders are discovered as well as a missing art treasure. I found The Greek Coffin Mystery to be a so so mystery with too much hypothesizing about who did it and too little action.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: The Forsyte Saga; Author: Visit Amazon's John Galsworthy Page; Review: This book is three books in one, telling the story of the Forsyte family over several generations in the early part of the 20th Century. Not only a story of the life's of the extended family, the book presents a way of life in Victorian times and the changes pre and post WWI. I read it after watching the PBS miniseries and enjoyed it very much.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: A Death in Sweden; Author: Visit Amazon's Kevin Wignall Page; Review: This book centers around an Dan, ex-CIA operative now working as a mercenary.

Now the tables are turned on him and he, together with others he's worked with, is targeted with death. This book explores his quest to discover why and to gain information to destroy the mastermind. It's monotonous in the repeated violence but casts Dan as a good guy in spite of his occupation. I finished the book but never want to read another by this author.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: A Death in Sweden - Kindle edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Kevin Wignall Page; Review: This book centers around an Dan, ex-CIA operative now working as a mercenary.

It had a slightly complicated beginning in Chapters 1 & 2 which set up the mystery. But it was worth it. This is a " Can't put it down" book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Arsène Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes eBook; Author: Maurice Leblanc; Review: I read a bit more than a third of this book. I had heard of Arsene Lupin and decided to try one. It was a waste of time. The character development was weak as was the plot and the description of the setting for the tale. I decided to reward myself by not forcing myself to read to the end.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: The Age of Doubt (An Inspector Montalbano Mystery); Author: Visit Amazon's Andrea Camilleri Page; Review: Another excellent mystery featuring Inspector Montalbano.

At best I'd give them a grade of C. I expect to buy books more by this author but not those with Paris. The plot and character development is decidedly so so.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Picture Miss Seeton; Author: Visit Amazon's Heron Carvic Page; Review: I am a big fan of the Miss Seeton mysteries. The best are by the original author Heron Carvic and this is the first in the series. Miss Seeton is a retirement age school teacher in this book who teaches art. She loves to draw and expresses emotions and thoughts in her drawings reflecting her unusual psychic abilities which provides not easily understandable clues to the criminal's identity. This mystery begins with her witnessing a murder when exiting a theater. That leads her to be acquainted with Scotland Yard detectives who interpret her drawings to solve the mystery. I have read each of the Miss Seeton books multiple times as I find them charming, funny and easy to read after a hard day.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Maigret's First Case (Inspector Maigret); Author: Visit Amazon's Georges Simenon Page; Review: Simenon goes back in time to show Maigret newly married and just starting his career at the police department as a lowly Secretary. This is the 30th book in the series but fresh and delightful. What I love about the mysteries by Simenon is that I feel like I am there with Maigret and seeing what he sees, hearing what he hears and smelling the scents of Paris.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Lewis Page; Review: I started to read this book and got quickly bored with its long discussion of scouting football players over time. This is not very close to the Sandra Bollock movie which I enjoyed even though I am not a football fan.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: Above Suspicion; Author: Visit Amazon's Helen MacInnes Page; Review: A spy novel set in Europe just prior to the invasion of Poland and the start of World War II, Above Suspicion is full of suspense but occasionally a little bit tedious with the English couple frequent reactions to the Nazis and their militarism. Normally I would give anything by Helen Macinnes 5 stars but the interruptions of the action for conversations that were stilted and like political diatribes broke up the action. A good book in spite of that though.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Ellery Queen: The Art of Detection: The story of how two fractious cousins reshaped the modern detective novel.; Author: Visit Amazon's Francis M. Nevins Page; Review: I've been a fan of the Ellery Queen mysteries for decades. I started reading mysteries as soon as I learned to read and raced through the Trixie Beldon, Nancy Drew, Harry Boys, Bomba Boy and other adolescent mysteries before I finished grade school. The Ellery Queen mysteries were one series I graduated to and they advanced my vocabulary considerably. Recently I've started rereading them and find them just as good as I remembered. So I was quite interested in this biography of the two cousins who wrote under the pseudonym of Ellery Queen. However, the author feels obligated to discuss every book, radio broadcast, and television show they wrote so it did become heavy slogging toward the end as they were prolific authors. I scanned rather than read the last third of the book. So I'd recommend this book but only for big fans of Ellery Queen mysteries. I don't regret buying this book myself.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

It was a toss up between here and the Beach Resort (?) across the river. Pelican sands won out due to its closeness to the water (30m) and not having to cross a road to get there, it also was self contained which allowed us to cook our own meals if required. Very friendly staff and clean and updated facilities won us over, fishing literally at your door step and use of a kayak if required (bring your own PFD). Facilities in town are minimal but nearby St Helen's has everything you need. great place to stay...; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hideaway on George; City: Launceston Tasmania; Review: We stayed at Fiona's for one night on a recent overnight trip to Launceston. We usually stay at hotels and have stayed at one other B&B previously but Fiona's was recommended by a work colleague. Set back in behind other buildings, very private but still easy parking and an easy stroll in to the Main Street. We stayed in a King suite and the rooms were much larger than that of a comparable hotel they were well appointed and included front and rear outside sitting areas. Breakfast either cooked or continental was included in the tariff, the only problem being that they wouldn't cook scrambled eggs only poached which were done in a machine and turned out more like fried and fried eggs. So apart from that, breakfast was very nice. Unfortunately not being able to get scrambled eggs will stop me from staying here in the future and as we come here on average every six weeks and stay that's a big loss because everything else was spot on.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Clarion Hotel City Park Grand; City: Launceston Tasmania; Review: The outside may look a bit old, but don't let that fool you. This is one of Launcestons best featured hotels. The renovations and attention to detail in the rooms is exceptional for a hotel of this size and price. I stayed in a Spa Suite and was very impressed with the size and quality of fittings in the room. No need to head out for a meal, Larceny restaurant is a great place to eat for dinner and breakfast. We stay in Launceston quite often and will definitely be returning.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Horizon Deluxe Apartments; City: Stanley Tasmania; Review: We recently stayed here for 3 nights and were impressed by the views and the privacy offered by the apartments. Breakfast provisions left were ample and facilities in the apartments were good. We stayed here in winter and found the windows continually needed wiping down on the inside to be able to see out and many of the windows and door showed signs of moisture damage. Apart from this it was a magnificent place to stay and would highly recommend it. If you haven't been to Stanly before wait until the warmer months as most things are closed in winter.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Penghana Bed Breakfast; City: Queenstown Tasmania; Review: We recently stayed at Penghana and were most impressed by this stately manor. Old world charm from an era long past, this property has been well maintained and for the room cost including breakfast is very reasonable.

We received a warm welcome from our host on arrival and although it is a B&B it is very private.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Sheffield Motor Inn; City: Sheffield Tasmania; Review: We stayed here for one night on a quick trip around the state.

We found the hotel very good in terms of facilities, dining, cleanliness and service and was reasonably located although we were bused anywhere we went. Great Hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Courtyard by Marriott Shanghai Central; City: Shanghai; Review: We stayed here as part of a group tour of China, it was a very well appointed hotel with good rooms, dining and friendly service and fairly well located to the center of Shanghai. Surrounding the hotel were shops and markets.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Amos House Swansea Ocean Villas; City: Swansea Glamorgan Spring Bay Tasmania; Review: Stayed here for three nights recently, have stayed before a few years back and find the two story villas very convenient to Swansea for shopping and walking around. Good clean facilities which includes a washing machine and dryer which comes in handy on a long trip.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Lake Leake Inn; City: Lake Leake Tasmania; Review: We stayed at the Lake Leake Inn for a couple of nights recently in a double room. Room was very and the pub and surrounds are great to walk around especially the lake. Good meals in the pub especially the kangaroo meatballs.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Lufra Hotel and Apartments; City: Eaglehawk Neck Tasmania; Review: We stayed at the Lufra Hotel for the night in a one bedroom studio which all seem to be on the lower floor. On checking in and entering the room all we could hear was kids running around above us sounding like a heard of wild animals. To make things worse the stairs to the top story of each apartment protrude into the downstairs apartments and with people running up and down stairs it's like being in a drum. Never have I ever asked to be moved but we were moved to another downstairs room but it was still very noisy from the apartment up above. It seems as all the above apartments are larger family rooms, so if you are staying below you will have to put up with walking around noises, banging and people up and down stairs. If you want a quite weekend stay somewhere else.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Dannebrog Lodge; City: Devonport Tasmania; Review: Dannebrog Lodge in Devonport is a great B&B style place to stay while in Devonport. Great location on the river, watch the Spirit come in and out. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating but you really only see them at breakfast. Great place to stay; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Franz Alpine Retreat; City: Franz Josef Westland National Park Te Wahipounamu West Coast Regi; Review: Booked here late last year as it advertised a full kitchen. On arrival this is what we got (see photo) some units do have bigger kitchens but they let you believe they all do. Booking.com advert The spacious self-contained apartments at Franz Alpine Jag Escape Retreat are modern with full kitchen facilities. A satellite TV, sofa seating area and tea/coffee making facilities are provided. So after buying food in Queenstown as their is not much choice in Franz Josef we were forced to throw it all out as our ongoing travel plans prevented us carrying food. Washing any dishes had to be done in the very small bathroom sink. It was also the most expensive accommodation we stayed in, in the three weeks we were in NZ and we stayed in slot of high end apartments and B&BS. Not good, stay in town closer to the action. And you also won't have to boil the water because of ecoli.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Jet Park Hotel Rotorua; City: Rotorua Rotorua District Bay of Plenty Region North Island; Review: Great hotel in Rotorua, situated on the hotel strip in Rotorua. We stayed in a suite which was very nice, comfortable and quite. A couple of issues, the laundry is outside the suits on the bottom floor and in the morning you have to negotiate laundry bags on the floor and staff talking outside your door. Not good if you have paid extra for a suite. The bread at breakfast on a busy Sunday morning was mouldy and hard but was replaced quickly. Not sure how many had already eaten it. The staff at breakfast were great as also were the duty managers. Apart from a couple of problems, very happy with the stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Capital Gateway Motor Inn; City: Wellington Greater Wellington North Island; Review: Great hotel not far from the city and close to the bus route. On arrival the staff were very helpful with checking in and about our plans to go to the cable car in the city. The meal in the restaurant was very nice and once again the service was first class. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Marineland Motels; City: Napier Hawke s Bay Region North Island; Review: Quite a nice budget motel, but with a few problems with how it's advertised. Firstly it's not near a beach it's across the street from a tidal inlet, only water and mud at low tide. Although the website I booked with said no pets only service animals. The couple next door had two dogs with them that stayed inside the unit all night and we're observed on the bed. On making comment about this during online feedback they said the motel was pet friendly. I personally wouldn't like to stay in a room that dogs were in the previous night. It was also further from the centre of town than I thought, but that is my fault. The door was a full width sliding glass one with only thick curtains to pull across to give you privacy. So when closed the room is completely dark even during the day. And it's a shame that with a lot of budget motels they are always let down by rubbish pillows giving you a poor sleep. Apart from that it was quite a nice room with a nice kitchen and bathroom.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Ramada Suites by Wyndham Queenstown Remarkables Park; City: Queenstown Otago Region South Is; Review: Just out of Queenstown, this relatively new addition to the Queenstown hotel scene is very close to the airport and a short drive into Queenstown itself. Modern new hotel with below ground parking would be a must in winter. Great kitchen and large tv and a seperate lounge in the apartment we stayed in added to the great feel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Chalet Chevron Bed And Breakfast Hotel; City: Auckland Central North Island; Review: Nice place to stay, close to the city which also includes a cooked breakfast. The sitting area and dining area are very nice but the rooms are very old and outdated, the bathroom was very cramped especially around the toilet, the bed was hard and with no air-conditioning and no screens on the windows, bugs were coming in on the warm day. Hosts were very nice but need to reinvest some money in the property.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Alpine Suites; City: Queenstown Otago Region South Island; Review: Nice B&B in Queenstown, situated just out of town with great views across the lake. Hosts are very accommodating and cooked breakfast overlooking the lake is a great start to the day. Rooms are not air conditioned so it may be stuffy depending on the weather.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: 43 Degrees Bruny Island; City: Adventure Bay Bruny Island Tasmania; Review: We stayed at 43 Degrees for a long weekend and found the place very nice, a great job done with making it environmentally friendly. We stayed in a larger rear apartment, there are no views only a garden to look at out the window.The other problems we had was the furniture in our aging years it would be good to find a couch that wasn't low to the floor and the seats around the table although nice to look at were impractical to sit at.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with books as follows: Title: The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down: A Hmong Child, Her American; Author: Visit Amazon's Anne Fadiman Page; Review: I teach a class in cultural anthropology, and most of my students live not far away from Merced CA where the book is set. This book has proved an excellent inclusion in the readings for the course. The immigration of Hmong refugees is a reality that continues to shape our region and culture, and most of my students come into the course already preset with opinions about Hmong people, if they are not Hmong themselves (as happens more and more often). This book, in addition to being an excellent case study in the challenges of intercultural medicine, is also a good primer to the Californian Hmong community, and has been very helpful in breaking down some barriers. It is not a perfect book; occasionally some of its "facts" have been challenged by my Hmong students, or represent a partial picture especially where Laos and China themselves are concerned; some of the language could be seen as essentializing, that is, treating Hmong culture as falsely homogeneous. However, it is a remarkable achievement on the whole, and I am very happy with the text and the feedback my students have given on it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner; Author: Visit Amazon's Scott Cunningham Page; Review: I needed an all-purpose introduction to Wicca, so I asked a friend which he would recommend- said friend enthusiastically answered "Cunningham!" before the question was quite out of my mouth. Now that I have read it, I can see why. Wonderful as both a reference text and a read in and of itself, this book was such a relief from the sometimes overly specific or occluded explorations of Wicca that I had read previously. You really get the sense that the author was trying to be as inclusive as possible, while being a generous advisor to interested folks who haven't got a coven to join but want to know more about this increasingly popular faith path. Scott Cunningham's gentle, informed, and clear-thinking nature shines through on almost every page. Top notch!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Coming of Age in Second Life: An Anthropologist Explores the Virtually Human; Author: Visit Amazon's Tom Boellstorff Page; Review: I'm not sure if there are any better ethnographies of virtual worlds out there, but there must be few that are as fun to read. This is an enlightneing romp through the world of Second Life and that of virtual worlds generally. It remains relevant despite the many changes to the fieldsite, because Boellstorff does not restrict himself to description. Rather, he tackles head-on the social and philosophical implications of a virtual world. As an anthropologist, I love the discussions of fieldwork and its central place of interpretation in the Age of Techne. We've been reading it in my online intro course, and I've been almost startled by the quality and depth of the student discussions it has inspired. I don't have a lot of criticisms - it IS clearly a book about anthropology, and people uninterested in that subject will probably find some of the discussion irrelevant to them. But it is also quite readable, and those who stick with it will mostly find it rewarding despite, I think.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: ESV New Classic Reference Bible (Black); Author: ESV Bibles by Crossway; Review: I find this translation accesible, useful, and well-organized for the Kindle - thank you!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Soul of the Indian (Native American); Author: Charles Alexander (Ohiyesa) Eastman; Review: Ohiyesa - Dr. Charles Eastman - grew up in challenging circumstances of war, frequent relocation, and attempted cultural genocide through the dubious graces of the mission schools. It is truly remarkable that he emerged from this background as a skilled physician, humanitarian, and as one of America's finest writers, if not indeed finest people. Though his bias toward his first culture is clear and unashamed, neither does he ignore the scientific or religious lessons gained from his university studies, and paints many clear strands between the Christian perspective and the more individualistic and intuitive religious life to which he was accustomed in his youth. In a surprisingly short work, Dakota spirituality as it was lived shortly before the violent subjugation of the northern Plains is fairly summarized and lovingly recounted. The social description is incidental but empathetic, like that of many ethnographies in the post-Boas era, but more than filled out by Ohiyesa's discussion of the affective side of his faith experiences. It makes this book half philosophy, half social critique. I strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in Plains culture and spirituality, the Indian Wars era, or the exploration of colonial and post-colonial religion. Reading this shifted me from being an admirer of Eastman to an actual fan, and I have since been enthusiastically seeking out his (many!) other writings.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Staff there were the best I've experienced and I have travelled a fair bit. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was very friendly. Maria one of the owners went out of her way to ensure I was OK and having a good time. Spa relaxation room was amazing before having a treatment, which was also very good. Rooms were clean and I'm very fussy about that.

Staff were the best and they could not do enough for you. I think I must have laughed the whole time there as they were all so friendly and funny. I went half board and the food was very good every night and so well presented and breakfasts were massive. You will not go hungry. Room was very nice and tastefully decorated. Lovely view across Oludeniz and only a short walk to the beach. Highly recommend. Thank you Korhan, Ugurcan, Halil(Jimmy), Durmus, Osman and the chefs for such a great time. I hope to see you all again very soon. :); Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Pine Hill Hotel Suites; City: Oludeniz Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: Unfortunately just a very short 3 night stay at Pine Hill but hotel very clean and staff were very friendly and went out of their way for you.

Stayed in annexe across the road and room was very clean and had everything you needed in it. Only 10 minutes walk to centre so was a great location and five minutes walk to bus stop for airport. Staff were very helpful too and nothing was too much trouble. Only small gripe was cleaners knocked on door at 9am to clean room which in my mind too early when you are on a weekend away and then they were very noisy outside but as said a minor gripe and most people would be up and at breakfast at this time. Overall recommend this hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: My Story Hotel Rossio; City: Lisbon Lisbon District Central Portugal; Review: After my usual intensive look into hotels when going away I was very pleased with the choice I made. Reception staff were lovely. Room was great, comfortable bed, nice shower and had a lovely view across Rossio Square and the castle(from 3rd floor). I booked direct and communication beforehand was next to none and the information about getting to the hotel was the best I’ve seen and I’ve traveled a lot! Didn’t do the breakfast so can’t comment but overall would recommend this hotel!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

This recording sounds totally out of place. No relation to tradition. Even the sound is not really good and a lot of echo is heard. Plowright's voice seems to struggle most of the time to keep up with the role's demands. The orchestra and the direction is not compact enough. No emotion, no passion, no drama, no real Verdi.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: Carmen; Brand: Georges Bizet; Review: This is my favourite recording of Carmen and it brings back beautiful memories of the 80's. Agnes Baltsa is magnificent for the role. Her vocal perfection and brio are remarkable. Jose Carreras an exceptional Don Jose. All the cast of voices are carefully selected and wonderful. The conduction of Herbert von Karajan is just superb and i can't find anything better! The music in this recording flows so naturally that attracts immediately! The sound and the production of the recording are absolutely perfect. If you want to enjoy Carmen as a whole, this is the version i would suggest.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

The rooms are beautifully decorated and offer instant enjoyment through the aromatherapy that was placed in our room. The hotel has numerous gorgeous restaurant options and offers wonderful service. The area around the hotel is modeled after an ancient chinese village and offers authentic chinese opera shows, shopping and dining. A must stay if you are in the Chengdu area. The one issue as a non mandarin speaker was that many hotel staff do not speak english fluently however this did not diminish the service quality.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Conrad Maldives Rangali Island; City: Rangali Island; Review: What a great place for a family vacation! It is such a beautiful setting and the hotel really thinks of each and every way to make your stay more enjoyable. The resort is a lot larger than I expected and there is much to see and enjoy on the island. The snorkeling is amazing right in the house reef and seems better than the snorkeling you experience after paying for an expensive excursion.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Fairmont Peace Hotel; City: Shanghai; Review: WOW! From the moment we checked in the hotel ensured a wonderful experience. The first room we were offered was near some construction in the neighboring building and the hotel quickly assisted us in relocating to a quieter location. The hotel is in a great location with easy access to the beauty of the bund and the tourist tunnel to downtown shanghai. The views from the front of the hotel are truly wonderful as was the service. We were at the hotel over new years and were steps away from the celebrations of the city of shanghai brining in the new year. The hotels location and service are unmatched. The rooms are recently updated and beautiful but have the character of the art deco hotel that it is. If you are looking for a more modern style room this may not be the hotel for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Aloft San Antonio Airport; City: San Antonio Texas; Review: I had a decent stay at the Aloft, the concept is very cool and well executed. Beds are comfortable and rooms are decently furnished. Rooms are poorly insulated to sound which is unfortunate because the hotel is in the middle of a fairly large shopping center. Staff was friendly and wanted to make sure I had an enjoyable stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hilton Los Angeles Universal City; City: Los Angeles California; Review: I have come to expect a lot from Hilton and this stay did not meet my expectations. My first disappointment came in the form of learning that the executive floor was just a room on a high floor, no executive lounge and no real difference from a room on a "regular' floor. In fact my family that had stayed on the former "tower level" floors had a nicer room than I did on the "executive" floor. The hotel also has extremely slow elevators, a problem compounded by one to two elevators being out of service. The hotel staff did the best they could given the situation but always set aside at least 10 minutes to get to the Lobby during your stay. Water pressure in the shower was also a consistent issue. In order to be able to rinse off any soap I had to run the sink while showering in order to get any level of water pressure sufficient to get clean. This was unacceptable. The hotel staff was overall very friendly and the pool area was very well maintained. The hotel breakfast buffet was quite large and had options for any diet. The beds were also very comfortable and rooms were overall very clean. There are not many options in the area so I would recommend this property if you want to be close to Universal, however be forewarned of the issues that you will experience.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Hyatt Regency Hong Kong Tsim Sha Tsui; City: Hong Kong; Review: This hotel is locate in the heart of Kowloon. You are steps away from major attractions as well as public transportation to take you all around Hong Kong. The hotel rooms are very large for Hong Kong and they all come with a free phone for your use around Hong Kong (including international calling and Data). Hong Kong can often be a confusing city to navigate so this feature, along with clean, modern rooms, make this Hyatt a great choice when visiting Hong Kong.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Hilton Tokyo Narita Airport Hotel; City: Narita Chiba Prefecture Kanto; Review: We stayed here as we had a late arrival into Haneda and an early departure out of Narita. It is difficult to access the hotel in the evening as the shuttle stops and a taxi is required. Hotel is very close to the airport. Rooms are tired and dull, but clean; still not a typical Hilton experience. Check-in was painfully slow at 1am and HHonors status was not really recognized appropriately. It is probably the best option in the area but don't go in with high expectations.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Hyatt Zilara Cancun; City: Cancun Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Thank you to all of the great staff at the Hyatt Zilara for making our vacation fantastic. Guadalupe and Frankie really stand out in my memory as a great staff members that made our vacation fantastic. I highly recommend this resort, the price is reasonable for all that is included and is a great value on the strip. We spent 4 days without leaving the hotel and never went hungry or found ourselves bored.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: JW Marriott Austin; City: Austin Texas; Review: I recently completed a stay at this property and while the property itself is very nice and the pool is a happening scene, we were assigned a connecting room that has absolutely zero soundproofing. It sounded as if our neighbors were in our room. While at times they were yelling, even at a normal speaking voice their words could clearly be heard. That is unacceptable for a property of this caliber. It definitely effected our stay as it woke us up in the middle of night when they returned. I would hesitate before choosing to stay here again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: The St Regis Bangkok; City: Bangkok; Review: I just completed what was an uninspiring stay at the St. Regis Bangkok that was not up to what I believe are St. Regis standards. The food in the restaurants is pricey and mediocre and the breakfast buffet was consistently served cold. Furthermore our Spa treatments were interrupted by window washing, which resulted in banging on the window of our treatment room and we walked out in the middle of the treatment. When the issue was raised with management, it was only after the issue was escalated to starwood corporate after our departure that a resolution was found; that should not happen at a St. Regis Hotel. It is important to mention, the hotel is physically beautiful (REALLY REALLY beautiful) and the location cannot be beat. You can easily walk to the skytrain and you are a couple of stops from almost every major site. I have written many reviews and stayed at many hotels around the world, I would recommend choosing another hotel over the St. Regis Bangkok.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Finest Playa Mujeres; City: Playa Mujeres Yucatan Peninsula; Review: Finest is really a beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting. The hard product (pools, rooms, restaurant design, etc.) is top notch and the grounds are well maintained. My real issue with the property is in the service and food elements of the hotel. We stayed in a Finest Club room, which comes with a separate staff, however silly rules and regulations make staying in the finest club a challenge. If you want extra towels, you cant just ask the at your service department, they have to transfer you to the finest club to address your issue. When you make your request, don't expect it to be fulfilled the first, second, third or fourth time. We constantly had to call to have the same issue resolved multiple times. The staff always had a smile on their face and said they would get it taken care of, however I often had to go down to the storage closet to get my own towels or bottles of water. This was completely unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber. It didnt just happen once or twice, it happened throughout our stay, in all of our families rooms (we had 3). There are also silly policies throughout the resort that make simple things tedious. 1. You cant take food out of the club lounge at an all-inclusive resort (which has a funky "aromatherapy" smell) 2. When checking out at 3am for a flight they made me take this little card from the front desk to the bell desk, despite the lobby being empty. 3. The "finest club clearing house" policy for finest club guests (you cant just ask anyone for simple things, you have to ask the finest club). My message to the hotel would be empower your staff to get things done, don't have silly systems in place that dont really work. If I come down to the front desk or concierge and ask for water 3 times, the staff should physically go and get the water, not call the same department that got it wrong the first 2 times. Food at the resort was plentiful but very mediocre. There are many various options at the resort, but the buffets were often lukewarm and the food did not taste or appear fresh. I believe for the price there are better resorts available in the greater Cancun area and the soft product (food, service, etc.) at the hotel leave A LOT to be desired.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Conrad Tokyo; City: Minato Tokyo Tokyo Prefecture Kanto; Review: We just completed a stay at this fantastic Conrad. The rooms are beautiful and the executive lounge has great snacks and dining. We did not find out until our second night but if you have executive lounge access you can also eat breakfast in the regular restaurant as well. The hotel staff is extremely friendly and the concierge is easily accesible via e-mail to make tour or restaurant reservations as needed. When you stay at the Conrad Tokyo you will understand why it is the #1 hotel in Tokyo.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Prince de Galles a Luxury Collection Hotel Paris; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: We just finished a fantastic stay at the Prince de Galles. It is a really beautiful hotel located in a fantastic location in the heart of Paris. Every major attraction is a short walk away and the hotel staff always give you a bottle of water for the road and warm welcome on the return. The rooms are beautiful and well appointed. The rooms are small, as most rooms are in Paris, but their warmth and appointments are very welcoming. We greatly enjoyed our stay and cant wait to go back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Inn at Dos Brisas; City: Washington Texas; Review: We just completed our stay at this AMAZING property!

We took a cooking class at the restaurant which was very worthwhile and enjoyable. We cant wait for our next stay!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Le Meridien Bora Bora; City: Bora Bora Society Islands; Review: This resort was one of the most beautiful we have visited. The setting was pristine and the Le Meridien has the best location in Bora Bora. The service was five star and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The snorkeling around the resort was not great, but that is not the hotels issue, just a point travelers should be aware of. It was a very relaxing vacation thanks to the great staff and beautiful property at the Le Meridien!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Riad Le Calife; City: Fes Fes Boulemane Region; Review: We just completed our stay at this beautiful Riad and the beauty of the riad and the quality of the service is unmatched by even the finest brands in the world. Alex and Yasmine are true hosts that make you feel right at home. The food, ambiance and service begin from the second you step into the door and they immediately treat you as a member of their family. We had a serious issue with a tour company that we had arranged prior to the trip (not through the Riad) and Alex and Yasmine were there for us to help fix things, even though we had already checked out. They cared for us and made sure that we safely arrived to our next destination and made all arrangements quickly and carefully. I highly reccomend this riad if you want to experience Fes in all of its beauty and have a wonderful riad to come back to at the end of an exciting day. Thank you Alex and Yasmine for making our trip one to remember!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Riad 72; City: Marrakech Marrakech Tensift El Haouz Region; Review: We completed a great stay at Riad 72. It is a really cool blend between modern and traditional Riad living! The rooms were very comfortable and we found the service (especially the full-time security guard) to be fantastic. The Riad is a great, quiet location, that is close to all of the major attractions of Marrakech. The manager and host is really accessible and was quick to rectify any situation that arose. Highly recommended!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Solaz a Luxury Collection Resort Los Cabos; City: San Jose del Cabo Los Cabos Baja Californi; Review: We just compelted our stay at this beautiful brand new resort. The rooms and facilities were magnificent and it provides a balance of luxury as a romantic destination but is great for families with a great kids club as well. Meal times can be a "leisurely" (slow) experience but excellent food makes the wait worth it. There are still a few new hotel hiccups that need to be worked out, but we would return without hesitation. The staff really makes an effort to provide quality service and ensure you can enjoy your time at the resort. The artisan butler concept is really unique and there is always someone available to help and provide recommendations. The pool and spa are top notch and you wont regret a stay at this great property.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: Tria Hotel Istanbul; City: Istanbul; Review: Could not ask for more from this hotel. I was worried at first as the taxi had problems finding the hotel which was down a small side street but once inside everything was fine. In fact the location was perfect as it was very quiet with no traffic to disturb you. A hot drink was offered even before we checked in and than the desk clerk offered us quite a few tips on things to see and do during our stay. The breakfast each morning was one of the best I have seen with so much on offer. Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Everybody at this hotel went out of their way to ensure our stay was a pleasant stay without any of the problems sometimes associated with hotels. The other great thing about this hotel was the location. All the major sights were in a very short walking distance.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Piril Hotel Thermal Beauty Spa; City: Cesme Izmir Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: We wanted to see Ephesus without having to put up with nightclubs and rowdy guests and Thomas Cook suggested the Piril as it was a quiet hotel with older guests. Not quite right. Our room was not as advertised or pictured. Very small and no where to keep luggage. We had one bedside table when there should have been two and this fell off the bed it was attached to. The balcony door did not lock so another trip to the front desk Yes the hotel did repair the problems quickly but because it took us three attempts to master the safe their annoyance was quite apparent. Also our shower head kept coming loose but I was able to fix that each time it happened. I am not sure if it was because we were on the ground floor but there was always a very strong smell from drains in the bathroom. Also there was large amounts of mildew around the bath but as far as I could see there was no fan working to expel the moisture. Our room was not cleaned properly the first three days we were there but discovered that the cleaning staff always came to our section of the hotel first thing in the morning so if we got up early and went for breakfast our room was cleaned. If not the room might be cleaned in the late afternoon if the cleaners had time. We feel that there just was not enough cleaners for the size of the hotel and number of guests. Sometimes we did not get towels replaced until after five and they were always warm so we assume that there was not enough towels and the cleaners had to wait until the laundry was finished. For people who complained about the food than they did not do their research before leaving home. Yes, the food was Turkish but the choices and quantity available should have been sufficient to satisfy most people and for the first week I tried most of the choices. Yes, my wife and I ended up with stomach problems but we feel this was not the food but fact one of the guests brought a bug into the hotel which than started spreading. You were told to shower before using the pools but not many people did. Hotels that have self serving restaurants should do as cruise ships and have hand wash available as soon as you entered and have at least one or two people watching the lines to ensure nobody was sampling the food and placing the spoon back in the food. Yes, regretfully we did witness this. Also, and I do not blame the staff, if silver ware and napkins were not used by the guests they were left on the table for the next guests. They were probably told by management to do this to ensure the table was ready. We started placing all unused knives and forks on our plate and than they were always taken away. Except for the staff at the front desk; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Pia Bella; City: Kyrenia Kyrenia District; Review: First impressions usually are a good guideline when you walk into a strange hotel. We arrived at the hotel after a long flight knowing the dining room had closed and figured that we would have to look for somewhere to eat as we had nothing since morning except for a sandwich. After filling out a short form required for checking in we were guided to the dining room where we were given a hot meal (as much as we wanted) with a complimentary drink. After dinner we were taken to our room to find our suitcases already there. Before leaving the room the hotel employee made sure we knew how to operate the safe and showed us where everything was located. Our room was spotless and extremely large. The bathroom had no traces of mildew which I find an irritant in most hotels. I did up grade to a superior room and very glad we did. We had a wonderful view looking out at the mountains of North Cyprus. Reading previous reviews about the Pia Bella there was some concern as to what we would find. I can't speak for the summer months but the week we stayed half board we could find no faults with the staff and the food. Why do some people expect English food when they visit a foreign country? Every night we had a different type of soup followed by two different main dishes plus various hot vegetables, salad dishes, olives, cheese, etc., and some of the best desserts you could want for. Food was always replenished quickly and the hot dishes were always hot. The waiters were busy but always managed to have a quick chat and make sure that we had everything we wanted. I am no good with names but every morning a lovely lady with a clip board went from table to table wanting to know if we had any problems that needed to be resolved. I believe she was the customer relations clerk but as we never had a problem could not say for sure. The hotel is in three separate blocks but all were only a short distance from the dining room which was in the block where our room was located. There are two large pools and some people were brave enough to set around sunning themselves in the spring sunshine. The gardens were immaculate and had plenty of flower beds to make it a very tranquil setting in the middle of Kyrenia. There was a large car park at the rear so there was never a problem on parking the car we rented. Every day we came back after a wonderful day out to find our room had been throughly cleaned and it appeared that we were given clean towels every day and our sheets were changed mid week. We have never had that treatment in a hotel before. May my wife and I say a big thank you to the staff at this wonderful hotel for making our holiday. Hotels can make or break a holiday and these; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Safir Hotel Cairo; City: Giza Giza Governorate; Review: As it was only a one night stay in this hotel I can only imagine what a longer stay would be like. The hotel is in an ideal location on a side street with hardly any traffic which is amazing for Cairo. Staff were very attentive and the room was first class. Our room was spotless, the bed large and comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and spacious. We had dinner and breakfast in the open buffet and food on offer was superb. No reason to go hungry.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Lincoln House Hotel; City: London England; Review: Even though we only stayed for one night this hotel was exactly what we were looking for. Yes, the room was small, the bathroom one of the smallest I have seen, but the standards of cleanliness were excellent. Fresh towels, clean sheets and a very comfortable mattress were all there. The only recommendation I can think of is if you are handicapped or not in very good shape then ask for a room on one of the lower floors. Our room was on the fourth floor and the stairs are quite steep so it was a matter of stopping a couple of times to catch our breath. Reception was a pleasant surprise as the girl on the desk was very efficient, friendly and offered us maps and brochures. As we had an early morning start, we could not try the breakfast but the price was right and the dining room looked very inviting. For people on a budget looking for a place to stay near Oxford Street then they need look no further. For a short stay I would come back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Blue Inn At North Fork; City: East Marion North Fork Long Island New York; Review: Even though we only stayed one night as we were catching the ferry to Rhode Island on our way to Boston if we were to come back to Long Island I would not hesitate to stay at the Blue Inn. The room my wife and I stayed in was large and everything you would need to spend a week or more. My wife said she had never seen so many different toiletries on display as there were in the bathroom in our room. The room was exceptionally clean and check in was efficient. Parking is no problem and there was a pool for use by the residents. Very glad we stayed there.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Hilton New York Fashion District; City: New York City New York; Review: This Hilton Hotel is ideally located in New York City. We stayed in May 2015 for three nights and were pleasantly surprised by how quiet the hotel was. The street it is located on is not subject to heavy traffic and we were asked if we would like a room in the back of hotel. Yes please. Okay my view was of a fire escape and people smoking from the next building but there was no noise of traffic. Upon arrival the staff were friendly and very efficient and quickly offered my wife and I a cold bottle of water each. After reading about the small rooms in the hotels of New York City I was surprised how big our room was. The bathroom had all the necessary essentials that you would expect and plenty of hot water whatever time of day. My only complaint with the room was the lighting. The room itself was quite dark and trying to operate the safe was a challenge. The location of the hotel is great for seeing the sights. We were about 10 minutes from the Empire State Building and maybe 15 or 20 minutes from Times Square.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook; City: Stony Brook Long Island New York; Review: As we were visiting family on Long Island, the Holiday Inn Express in Stony Brook was a great place to stay. The room was large, always kept clean, and far enough from the highway that the room was not noisy. We had no complaints with the breakfast. Our first morning the hotel was quite busy so we had to wait for a table but that was not a big issue. There was sufficient variety to please everybody. There even was a microwave in the room and if you came back late and had not eaten than there was a small shop in the lobby offering choice of food for sale that could be microwaved.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel The Golden Bear; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: First the good things; the staff at the hotel were very helpful and polite. They always were trying to please and would go the extra mile. The breakfast was the typical continental breakfast and was included in our booking. The location was quite good with trams nearby. Now the bad; most of the reviews are accurate in their assessment of this hate. We were placed in Room 36 which was three floors up. The first two sets of stairs were bad enough but the third set was like climbing a set of ladders. I would hate to think if there was an emergency and we had to vacate the hotel in a hurry. There is no way in case of a fire we would have got out. Our room appeared to have not been decorated in many years, with a bed that was not big enough for two people, no headboard, a television that was so old it still had the slot for a VHS tape, and a shower that was so dirty we could not use it. The bathroom, even though private, was outside the room at the top of the stairs. If you were half asleep or had too much to drink there was every chance of falling down the stairs. Also if you were not careful the room door would close behind you locking you out of the room. Fortunately we were given another room the next day (Room 29) that was located in the basement of the hotel. The room was much better and at least we had a fighting chance of evacuation in case of an emergency. The room had been recently decorated but the bathroom was so small you had difficulty turning around with the door shut. The sink was so small that any attempt to wash resulted in water going everywhere. The hotel desk was not manned after midnight so who was in charge I am not sure. This hotel may be fine for the young and backpackers but for the price we paid we could have done much better. Also the pictures for this hotel on Trip Advisor and other sites are not always accurate and show either the hotel in earlier days or some other hotel. The breakfast room was actually part of the entrance lobby and consisted of one long table that held the food and three tables.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

But don´t save on food because it si really terrible here. Costa Calma is a lovely place,so why not to enjoy it!! Choose aby hotel here and you will be more safisfied, I can guarantee that to you.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Grand Hotel; City: Trebic Vysocina Region Moravia; Review: Can´t reccomend. I chose it because of the swimming pool. But it wasn´t clean, so I didn´t use it in the end. The basilica (on UNESCO list) is lovely, nice river spa building from 1930s as well, so the towm is worth visiting. If you really want to enjoy your stay, choose another hotel. And a nice restaurant, too. Hotel is advertised as 4 star hotel but it is a big dissapointment for those who trust it. It comes from 1970s or 1980s, furniture and floors are new but it still doesn´t help you much to feel comfortable there.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Residhome Privilege Toulouse Occitania; City: Toulouse Haute Garonne Occitanie; Review: We stayed just for 1 night. Everything was fine, but a hotel in the city centre would be more useful. Toulouse is a very impresive city. It was a real surprise for us. The hotel is on a busy street, so you can t open a window at night.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Kn Hotel Matas Blancas; City: Costa Calma Pajara Jandia Peninsula Fuerteventura Canary Island; Review: Nice and clean hotel. Good food. Helpful staff. I can recommend it to everyone. Hotel bus drives you to the beach. If you do not want to go to the beach, you can swim in a pleasant hotel swimming pool. The best hotel I have been to on Fuerteventura. I will go there again. I am sure. If you want a single room for no extra cost, this is one of not many possibilities on Fuerteventura.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Spa Resort Lednice; City: Lednice South Moravian Region Moravia; Review: This hotel was opened in summer 2012. It is a nice place but its staff is young and needs more training. There is a pleasant restaurant but the quality of meals is not balanced. A new swimming pool is being builtnand should be opened in summer.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: B B Villa Naumanni; City: Tarquinia Province of Viterbo Lazio; Review: A month ago I chose this villa on the basis of beautiful photographs and good reviews. It was an excelent choice. The house was very nicely reconstructed 4 years ago, rooms have been tastefully furnished. Everything has been clean and perfect. We have had lovely food for breakfast. The villa is set under the hill Montericcio. It is a very calm and picturesque place. But the best part of our experience was behaving of our hosts. They looked after us as if we were their family or close friends. We had troubles with our rented car. Roberto saved us twice on the road when the cooling system failed. Bianca even drove us to the airport. They did much more for us than is usual and I can't thank them enough.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Rezidence Certovka; City: Karlovy Vary Karlovy Vary Region Bohemia; Review: We have stayed here twice and it has been a perfect place for us for KVIFF period. To get to Thermal and to the city centre is a 10 minute walk, there is a supermarket next door and the cinema Drahomira is just round the corner.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Grund Resort GOLF SKI; City: Trutnov Hradec Kralove Region Bohemia; Review: A perfect hotel with nice wellness area and a good restaurant. It was designed by Italian architects, so it is unusual and sofisticated. The view from our window was charming. We definitely want to stay there again in summer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

I'd definitely recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Wasabi Power Battery for Sony NP-FV100 (3900mAh, 2-Pack); Brand: Wasabi Power; Review: This battery will not fit in a Sony NX70U. I bought 4, and none of them fit. Although, I've had really good luck with Wasabi batteries in general for other devices.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: SOFTROUND Earpads, ear pads, ear cushion Replacement for Sony 211566803, Compatible with Sony MDR-7506, MDR-V6, MDR-CD900ST, Sony, etc.; Brand: SoftRound; Review: It's like having new headphones, and it's easy to replace the old ones.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Amcrest 3MP Outdoor POE Security Camera - ProHD IP Camera POE Bullet, 98ft Night Vision, IP67 Outdoor, 2048; Brand: Amcrest; Review: Pretty easy install (under 3 hours including running cat5 and mounting cameras), and I love how easily the app worked by just scanning the QR code. Of course the router had to be configured properly, but it all worked on the first try. As a video guy, I'm impressed with the quality of the image as well. Playback could be a little more responsive when looking for motion clips, but maybe I haven't figured out the best workflow yet.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: Hotel Gibbs Downtown San Antonio Riverwalk; City: San Antonio Texas; Review: The Hotel Indigo was an enjoyable experience for us. I wasn't sure if the location would be too far from the restaurants, etc. on the Riverwalk, but was pleased to find that it was just over a block. We were greeted pleasantly as we checked in and that feeling was continued throughout our stay. Our room was large, very clean, and very comfortable. We had views of the Alamo from our window and since we were in San Antonio during Fiesta with several activities going on at the Alamo Plaza, we enjoyed the proximity. While we didn't eat at the hotel's restaurant, we did stop in for a drink one night and found the pleasant service continued there, too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Christmas Farm Inn Spa; City: Jackson New Hampshire; Review: With the name Christmas Farm Inn, I wasn't sure what to expect. While Christmas themed things are around you at this inn, it wasn't overdone. We stayed in the North Pole and found that it was roomy and comfortable. Being a "stand alone" building, it felt very private and quiet. The main room needed more lighting--it was hard to see maps to plan our next day travel. The breakfast was included in the price and was outstanding. The servers did a great job.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Colony Hotel; City: Kennebunkport Kennebunks Maine; Review: The Colony Hotel has been updated, but has kept the charm of one of the grand hotels of New England. The ocean view from our room was great, but the best views were on the beautiful porches on the back of the hotel. The included breakfast was just what you would expect when dining in a fine restaurant. The hotel is away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Kennebunkport, so don't expect to walk from the hotel to the restaurants and shops there. A few shops and restaurants are a short walk away. We enjoyed a drink in the cozy pub downstairs. Note that the rooms don't have TVs if this is important to you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Best Western Inn Suites Rutland Killington; City: Rutland Vermont; Review: We stayed in a suite for two nights, using this as our home base as we traveled through Vermont in "leaf peeping" season. The room was spacious and comfortable, feeling much more like an apartment than a motel room. Breakfast was included and was a step up from a typical included hotel buffet. It included waffles and a couple of different hot dishes each day. The setting was really relaxing and the staff was helpful as we tried to find our way around Vermont. There weren't many restaurants close by, but Rutland isn't a very big town and the traffic wasn't bad as we traveled to a restaurant.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Bar Harbor Grand Hotel; City: Bar Harbor Mount Desert Island Maine; Review: The location was excellent and the room was beautiful and roomy. I like the way they captured the feeling of the historic Grand Hotel in a new property. The hotel is a short walk from everything a traveler would need in Bar Harbor--restaurants, shops and tourist attractions. Breakfast was good, but I wouldn't call it outstanding. The staff in the breakfast area was doing a really good job of restocking food and keeping everything clean.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel Manoir Victoria; City: Quebec City Quebec; Review: We felt like we were taking a gamble when we reserved this hotel since we knew nothing about Quebec City and what location would be the best. Our bet paid off--the hotel was great. Hotel Manoir Victoria was just steps from many restaurants and while I wouldn't say it was right in the middle of Old Town, it was just a few steps away. Our room was beautiful--we had one of the remodeled ones. My only room complaint was that a mirror was needed in the bedroom section of the room--only one person could be getting ready at a time because there was only one mirror. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. The steps going in to the lobby are a negative. I had read in reviews that you could just go through the restaurant and avoid the steps. The staff at the restaurant was very negative about us trying that, so we just struggled with the steps. When all rooms are remodeled, it will really be a great place. Our travel friends had one of the older rooms (at the same price as our remodeled room) and felt like they were taken advantage of. Overall, a great selection. Good price, good location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Holiday Inn Resort Fort Walton Beach; City: Fort Walton Beach Florida; Review: We chose this hotel mostly because of the location on the beach. We were not disappointed. Beach access was wonderful and the view from our balcony did not disappoint. We had breakfast in the restaurant one morning and were very satisfied with the service and the food. Our room was attractive, clean and comfortable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Oakland Marriott City Center; City: Oakland California; Review: Almost everything was great about this Marriott. The staff was very helpful--the woman who checked us in took time to tell us several nearby places that would be good for lunch and she added information about the nearby farmer's market. Our room was kind of triangle-shaped and had beautiful views in two directions. The only negative was the size of the bathroom. While I don't expect huge, the bathroom door couldn't be moved while you were standing by the sink. There was hardly room for one person in the bathroom! If you can overlook this, it is a great place to stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Tides Folly Beach; City: Folly Beach South Carolina; Review: This was a return stay to the Tides, but a first stay under this management. I was glad I chose to return. The rooms seemed to be recently redecorated, and the ocean access can't be beat. The weather wasn't conducive to using the pool area or the outside bar, but they certainly looked inviting! The location is perfect for either walking on the beach or exploring the town.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hampton Inn Savannah Historic District; City: Savannah Georgia; Review: Tripadvisor forum members recommended this location in response to my questions before my trip and they were right! The location was in the middle of everything that you want to see when visiting Savannah. All the staff we had contact with were very friendly, but I especially want to mention the ladies that staffed the breakfast room. They were pleasant, quick to notice if something needed refilled and to help if anyone had any questions or needs. The included breakfast was really good and I appreciated variety from day to day. Parking seemed a little hectic, but the valet parking took care of it so I didn't need to worry about it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Holiday Inn Denver Cherry Creek; City: Denver Colorado; Review: Holiday Inn Cherry Creek was a perfect location for us in Denver. It has easy access to highways and to light rail. Cherry Creek shopping and restaurants are about a 5 minute drive away. It is not a walkable location, however, you must drive to get to most restaurants and to the shopping. Our room was clean, comfortable and updated. The outdoor patio was great. Our only negative was the staffing. The hotel seemed to be very understaffed. Everyone we encountered was very pleasant and helpful, but it took forever for anything to get done, from the restaurant to housekeeping. We asked for supplies that housekeeping forgot--it took over an hour for them to be delivered to our room. When I called the front desk, it took about 15 rings before they answered. Our room wasn't cleaned until after 4:30 each day. If you're not in a hurry and don't have deadlines to meet, this is a great hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: The Steamboat Hotel; City: Steamboat Springs Colorado; Review: This is an expensive area in the summer, so the Steamboat Hotel was really a bargain for the area. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Note that there is no elevator and there are some stairs to get to almost every room. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The staff at the front desk was as helpful and friendly as any I have ever met. The location is a little out of the historical downtown and away from the ski area, but it is just a 5 minute drive.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Red Roof Inn Nashville Music City; City: Nashville Davidson County Tennessee; Review: We started our stay with a very pleasant greeting at the front desk. Nice! Our room was attractive and recently redecorated. The bed was decent. However, the wifi was terrible. It was impossible to use at all and when I talked to the front desk about this, they indicated it is a frequent concern. The towels, too, were terrible. The breakfast room was too crowded to be able to use. Overall, only the staff was a pleasant part of our stay.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Comfort Suites At WestGate Mall; City: Spartanburg South Carolina; Review: A friendly greeting at the front desk started our stay here. Kelli offered some information about the area as she checked us in. Happy hour was a nice surprise. Our room was nicely updated, clean and comfortable. We were able to access and use the wifi without major complaints. Overall, a pleasant experience.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Best Western Ocean Breeze Inn; City: Hilton Head South Carolina; Review: This hotel is hidden behind some condos and would be hard to find without specific directions or a GPS. It is worth the search. The rooms were updated and very comfortable. The breakfast area is large enough to handle quite a few guests and the breakfast was replenished as needed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the spacious, updated room. While the hotel is hidden, it would be easy to walk to the beach or to shops and restaurants.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Beachcomber Beach Resort Hotel; City: St Pete Beach Florida; Review: The location on the beach was excellent. Our room, a jr. suite, was comfortable and clean but a little dated. It was a little dark. The beachfront bar was lively, but I didn't care for the music that was constantly going--it was hard to hear either my dining companions or the ocean. The real negative about this hotel is the parking. A small parking lot in the front doesn't have nearly enough spaces for the guests and parking on the side of the building is impossible to get in and out of. There is no where to turn around and you end up backing up to leave your parking space. A lot across the street is offered when the parking lot is full. While I haven't heard any complaints about it, it didn't seem very secure.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Comfort Suites Bentonville; City: Bentonville Arkansas; Review: The staff at this hotel is very friendly and the room was very clean and comfortable. The location is good, but the hotel is a little hard to find. It sits back off the main road and the sign is not very big. There was a lot of traffic at the time we were looking for the hotel and it was a little hard to spot. The hotel was very busy when I was there (during the Chihuly exhibit at Crystal Springs). The staff at breakfast had a hard time keeping the food containers supplied with food. Happy hour drinks and snacks were a pleasant surprise.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Hotel At WaterWalk; City: Wichita Kansas; Review: The location of this hotel is great--centrally located so you can access all things Wichita in just a few minutes. We had a suite with a loft and enjoyed the extra space that provided for a family. The kitchen had a sink, microwave and refrigerator, but was missing anything that would make the kitchen useful--plates, cups, silverware. Even disposable items would have been helpful so we could take advantage of our restaurant leftovers. The breakfast was just average. Custom made omelets were advertised, but we didn't see anyone around to make them. Perhaps they were just on a break. The pool was great. There was no elevator going to our room, so anyone that would struggle carrying suitcases up stairs needs to be sure to ask for a first floor I would return for a second stay without hesitation. .; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Park Plaza Hotel Winter Park; City: Winter Park Florida; Review: Park Plaza Hotel feels like it's in a charming European village! The hotel has been beautifully restored and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Outside your door, a park, many shops and restaurants are easy to walk to. It is important to note that the rooms and bathrooms are true to their time period--very small. If you can live with that, then this is a great place to stay. A breakfast tray is delivered to your room and the croissants are delicious, but a bit messy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Baymont by Wyndham Kennesaw; City: Kennesaw Georgia; Review: Close to the Kennesaw State campus and within walking distance of several restaurants, this Baymont Inn is great for a budget stay. I found the desk attendant very friendly and our room was comfortably furnished and very clean. The breakfast was pretty typical for a hotel, and everything was fresh and served at the appropriate temperature.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Courtyard by Marriott Boston Logan Airport; City: Boston Massachusetts; Review: The hotel itself was great. Our room was nicely decorated and very comfortable. I did not notice any noise from the airport. We chose this hotel primarily because of the free airport shuttle and we were very happy with that service. What we were unhappy with--the restaurant for breakfast. We had an appetizer at night in the restaurant and we were happy with it during a very quiet time. We returned for breakfast and it took over an hour for us to have a bagel and a cup of coffee. Luckily, we were not trying to catch an early plane! The staff did not seem to be trained well--3 people were cleaning up and ignoring diners waiting to be served. Only one waitress was taking orders. If you are not going to eat from the buffet, I would recommend getting breakfast elsewhere.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with products as follows: Title: Sweet Kids Little Girls' Sleeveless Rolled Flower Waistband Flower Girl Dress; Brand: Sweet Kids; Review: When I first opened the package, I was like "eh, this material isn't great - looks a little cheap" - and I was actually not even going to have my daughter try it on (she needed a flower girl dress, I had ordered several). But SHE liked it so I put it on her and OMG - it's beautiful! It's one of those "you have to try on to appreciate" as the fabric is that shiny material that can look cheap, but it really doesn't once it's on. This dress ended up being the winner for what she'll be wearing. And my daughter is small (20th percentile at 2.5 years old) and a size 2 fit perfectly. The color in person seems a tiny bit darker pink than the pale pink of the image, but it works just fine for us.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Armando Martillo Boys Flat Front Adjustable Waist Slim Fit Dress Pants; Brand: Armando Martillo; Review: My little man just turned 6 and needed something to wear for a wedding he is the ring-man in. He typically is a size 5 in waist, but a size 6 in length (think, tall but skinny - lol). So it's sometimes tough to find the right fit. These pants were spot-on. The waist is adjustable and the length couldn't be more perfect. He looks great in them and they came packaged well as just putting them on a hanger got out the minimal wrinkles from shipping.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: v28 Women Cowl Neck Knit Stretchable Elasticity Long Sleeve Slim Fit Sweater Dress; Brand: v28; Review: This fits nicely! I ordered a small (I am 5'6" 127lbs). It's stretchy so I imagine it will fit a range of sizes. Very soft and warm and you can dress it up or wear to work. I got the necklace with it too which was a nice touch. It definitely clings to your body so unless you are already rocking the hourglass, just add some shapewear and you're good to go.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Fergalicious Women's Tyra Boot; Brand: Fergalicious; Review: These boots are true to size and fit well. I love the unique look they have and can't wait to wear them this fall. They may be a little on the narrow side for larger calves, but they work perfectly on my skinny bird legs (usually I look ridiculous in boots because the calf opening is way too large).; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Rothschild Little Boys' Two Tone Jacket; Brand: Rothschild; Review: How can you go wrong with the price of this jacket?! This is a nice warm, soft inside boy's jacket that will work perfectly for cold weather. For us, it's almost too warm. Only docked one star because the jacket seems to run a little large. My son wears a size 7 in all of his clothes (and 7 fits perfectly) - but this jacket in size 7 is a little big for him. Not complaining though as hopefully that means this will last for TWO seasons! Definitely a good buy for the price, warmth and prime shipping.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: The Breezes Bali Resort Spa; City: Seminyak Kuta District Bali; Review: We stayed at the Breezes for 7 nights, and found it to be a very good hotel. The check-in was efficient, the facilities - pool, gym and bars were excellent, and the breakfast was very good. Our room was a bit small for 3 adults sharing, but it was only a standard and good enough. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definatley stay there again, the location was not ideal for shopping, but the hotel provided daily shuttles to Kuta. Next time I would request a ground floor as my 70 yr old mother found going up steep stairs a bit tricky on the second floor. Otherwise not complaints.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Royal Overseas League; City: Edinburgh Scotland; Review: We were very pleasantly surprised with this hotel. For a 3 star it is great value for money. The views are fantastic looking up to the Edinburgh Castle, the room a little tired but clean and comfortable. The staff are very friendly, happy and helpful, and the full breakfast is fantastic. Only one internet computer so a bit of a line up there, but it is free, a lovely room to have afternoon tea and another with a bar. Fantastic location close to everything yet surprisingly quiet. We have no hesitation in recommending a stay there.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Citadines Montmartre Paris; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Our room was well equipped with a self contained kitchenette, a reasonalbe sized bathroom for a european hotel. We were a bit worried about the fold-out bed, but surprisingly found it extremely comfortable. we were on the ground floor and had a lovely courtyard outside our room. It was in a great location been at the end of a cul-d-sac, but close to everything in Montmartre. There greatest asset is their staff who are the most helpful people we have ever met in our travels, nothing was too much trouble for them. We would stay at this hotel again without hesitation. The only down fall is no airconditioner, pick the right time of year and this hotel is a winner.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Ondamar Aparthotel; City: Albufeira Faro District Algarve; Review: The hotel itself looks good. The room we had was very nice, self contained with a balcony overlooking the pool. Although a little tired in decore from appearances the rooms were fine. As far as cleaning went, this was varied from one cleaner doing a spotless job, to another cleaner doing nothing at all, there are no top ups of soap or shampoo after your initial lot. The staff are not very friendly. The location is very noisey on a busy street, none of the equipment in the gym works and not much help was given when I asked if someone could help get the treadmill working, it was a joke when I even requested the airconditioner be put on as it was like a sauna in there. Don't expect the laundry to be operating either, when I went to do washing there was a sign on the door saying it was out of order, when I asked the reception staff when the laundry might be working again, they said it won't be. On a positive note, the pool was nice and the bar staff at the pool were friendly. The internet only works in some rooms, otherwise you have to sit in the reception area.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Fiddleback Farm; City: Wigton Cumbria England; Review: We had 3 lovely nights at Fiddleback farm, the rooms are beautifully renovated, beds warm and comfortable and the breakfast delicious, a really nice place to base yourself.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Orchard Hotel; City: London England; Review: A very small hotel, very basic, clean but the bed mattress were not very comfortable. The bathroom was tiny which is not unusual, but recently renovated. It was a bit noisy from other guests coming and going. Breakfast was basic. The location is good to the train station and restaurants. If you want nothing flash this hotel is for you. The staff are not that helpful.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Novotel Hong Kong Nathan Road Kowloon; City: Hong Kong; Review: Recently renovated, lovely modern rooms although very small. Clean and tidy, good location, very helpful and friendly staff, nice bar area and a good gym. The food in the bar was average, but the atmosphere was very nice. Breakfast was very good and worth having included in the price of the room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Saigon Prince Hotel; City: Ho Chi Minh City; Review: We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. Originally we had a standard room and were offered an upgrade for $40USD per night, we declined the offer, but surprisingly we were still given a room upgrade with great views of the river. The hotel room was a standard size and a typical hotel room layout. The bathroom was standard and modern, it had everything you needed. The breakfast was fantastic with a great variety. Location was perfect with a short walk to the river, shopping centres and markets, although challenging crossing the busy streets! The staff were pleasant and helpful. The pool was nothing special and there was not much room for many people around it, but it was ok for a quick dip. We would definitely stay there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Somerset Park Suanplu; City: Bangkok; Review: My husband and I stayed here twice, the first time for 4 nights then on our return trip for 3 nights. The first trip we had a very large comfortable room, the furniture was a little tired and the bed very hard. The rooms were well laid out with a very big balcony. We were supplied with bathroom toiletries and tea/coffee/milk. The second time we stayed here, we were in a newly refurbished room, a different floor plan and a lovely comfortable bed. The balcony was smaller, but the floor plan was much better. No toiletries in the bathroom this time. The hotel is in a good location, banks close by and nice restaurants, the breakfast was ample and included an egg station. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool was very nice and the gym was also good. This hotel has a lot of expats staying there as it is close to Embassies.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Rhodeside Lodge; City: Geraldton Western Australia; Review: We stayed overnight in the self-contained unit. It was a lovely surprise to find such a new and spotlessly clean room with ensuite and cooking facilities at such a reasonable price. The room was a good size, bed comfortable and the location very quiet. The staff were very friendly and helpful.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Pearle of Cable Beach; City: Broome Kimberley Region Western Australia; Review: Great designed villa, perfect for a family especially with separate rooms and bathrooms, also your own verandas. Lovely tropical gardens, clean and comfortable and very friendly staff. The main villa has everything you need and is well laid out for families, the outside patio is perfect for a BBQ.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: St Vincent Guest House; City: Lynton Exmoor National Park England; Review: We stayed here for a couple of nights, it's a great base to explore the beautiful Exmoor National Park. Close to shops and pubs, nice little town to explore. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean and breakfast perfect. A very nice B n B.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Le Village du Lac; City: Bruges Bordeaux Gironde Nouvelle Aquitaine; Review: This park was a really good location for visiting Bordeaux. We caught a bus to the train station one day but also walked on another day (about 1/2), the tram was a great mode of transport into the heart of Bordeaux. The sites on the park were a bit uneven, but ok, the ablutions were clean and the receptionist very helpful and spoke excellent English. It was one of the most expensive places we have stayed at 23 Euro per night.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows: Title: The Wootons Inn; City: Tintagel Cornwall England; Review: After visiting Tintagel on several occassions we decided to spend our summer holiday at the wootons and what a fabulous choice it turned out to be!! We were a family of 3 adults,1 child and a dog staying in 2 rooms.The accommodation was excellent as was the full english breakfast.Ian and Felicity were very friendly and approachable.They made us feel so welcome that on arriving back home,after 2 days, we returned to the wootons for a few more days.They made a special effort to accommodate our dog by setting our breakfast table in the bar to enable her to join us without causing any intrusion to the other residents without dogs.Because it was such a pleasurable experience we will return for many holidays and short breaks and would thoroughly recommend; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: King Arthur s Arms Inn; City: Tintagel Cornwall England; Review: What a fantastic place!!!!The accomodation is superb.The rooms have everything you need and are very spacious,the bathrooms are enormous.The catering and food in general was plentiful and tasty.As for the entire staff team they are brilliant and made our wedding exceptonal.We have been here on many occassions and every time is just like the last.Would visit every week if we weren't so far away.BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Bosayne Guest House; City: Tintagel Cornwall England; Review: Stayed in the self catering cottage and what a lovely little place it is. Small and cosy but more than adequate. Bedding and towels provided. Every imaginable piece of kitchen equipment available. Excellent little extra touches like butter, eggs and homemade bread was waiting for us which we didnt expect...very thoughtful. Exceptionally clean and a most comfortable bed...didnt want to get up in the morning! A great dog friendly cottage in a great dog friendly village. The village itself has 5 pubs with plenty of establishments to eat and can recommend King Arthurs Arms. Ideally located for great coastal walks, and Tintagel Castle, King Arthurs Halls as well as The Old Post Office, all well worth a visit. Very friendly and accommodating hosts...will certainly be back !!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Devonshire Arms; City: Baslow Peak District National Park England; Review: Excellent dog friendly hotel. We visited with a couple of big friendly dogs and what a gem this place was. Loads of space in the bar to accommodate everyone and there is a seperate area that doesn't allow dogs.Very comfortable and warm with a good selection of beers, although a little low on the bottled beers. Excellent, friendly and polite staff who were always available if needed. The food was delicious. Although the portions seemed a little small at first we were more than satisfied and full by the end of our meal. The accomodation was second to none.A very large room with patio doors onto the patio outside which was ideal for the late at night toilet stop for the dogs. Very very comfortable bed, with pure white bed linen and comfotable pillows and duvet. Did have a slight blip with the shower but this was sorted straight away with no trouble whatsoever. The only criticism was at breakfast, there wasn't much choice of cereal and the containers holding them were not filled whilst we were there.I'm sure if we had wanted that would have been sorted but to be honest the full English breakfast was to die for so there really was no need for the cereal !!! Local sausage was the best I had ever tasted and the whole lot was plentiful and cooked to perfection. A fab place and we will certainly be visiting again, would highly recommend; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: The Chestnuts; City: Shanklin Isle of Wight England; Review: Lovely B&B with two smashing hosts Nick and Hayley. Excellent consistent breakfast with the best poached eggs ever. Spotlessly clean in all areas. Ideally situated to be able to park the car and get around town, beach, other villages etc by either walking or using public transport. Pubs/restaurants/takeaways all within walking distance. Unable to find any negatives, we will return and would highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Stayed at the hotel for the weekend, handy for going into town but apart from this, nothing else. Because it was Easter, they had planned an egg hunt but they could not get the time right, they first said it was 12, then 2, then 3, by the time we came down for it, they had finished and my daughter was not best pleased and wondered if it was a German way of doing things; it was her first time in Germany.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Emlyn Hotel; City: Newcastle Emlyn Carmarthenshire Wales; Review: We stayed in this hotel at the last weekend of May in a family room. Hotel and room was clean and spacious for the four of us and lots of space to move. The only downside was, our dinner on the day we arrived, kids had to return their meals almost untouched and the kitchen did not offer a substitute. Breakfast was nothing to write home about, asked for hard boiled eggs and was given runny eggs instead which were inedible. The spa was very good and the gym facilities was adequate.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Nostos Hotel; City: Kallithea Kassandra Halkidiki Region Central Macedonia; Review: Just returned from a 7 nights stay at this hotel and cannot fault it. Stayed on half board, special mention must be made of the fish meze which we totally enjoyed and had it twice. The whole team was fantastic and will definitely be back. As discussed with Helen, introducing room service in our opinion will add further value and make this little gem a true home away from home that it is. If you want somewhere that you can relax with a true holiday feeling, then look no further!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Grains Bar Hotel; City: Oldham Greater Manchester England; Review: Nice place ladies made stay very good, had a good night rest and would not expect more based on what's been charged. This place has a lot of potentials in the right hand. Would definitely come back again if in the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: Holiday Inn London Elstree M25 Jct 23; City: London England; Review: This hotel is a gem of a place, stayed over the weekend and cannot fault, I was not expecting much but I must say we throughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back. The only suggestion I would recommend is if the hotel could provide a shuttle service to the train station, apart from this, nothing else. And also if hungry, try the salmon from room service it was ace!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Orsett Hall Hotel Restaurant Spa; City: Orsett Thurrock Essex England; Review: Stayed at this hotel overnight as we were attending a family function at the pavilion, must say, the stay was very comfortable, the shower and the bed were spot on and well worth it. Will stay again if in the area.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Crowne Plaza Hotel Nottingham; City: Nottingham Nottinghamshire England; Review: Stayed in this hotel as I was working away and needed somewhere to stay. The room I must say is quite small compared to similar hotels although other facilities are very good such as the swimming pool were spot on.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: The Hunters Lodge; City: Crewe Cheshire England; Review: Stayed at this hotel as part of a working away stay and was total value for money. Did not go for breakfast but the bed was comfortable, there were ample parking spaces and will visit again if in the area and want somewhere to stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Hythe Imperial; City: Hythe Kent England; Review: Stayed at this hotel as part of October half term break and what an experience, the whole family enjoyed the stay and the facilities were spot on especially the pool. We would definitely come back for a longer stay as we really enjoyed ourselves; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Elmhurst Hotel; City: Earley Wokingham Berkshire England; Review: Stayed here as part of work and it was nice, cheap and cheerful. The daily breakfast was a good spread and filling with a lot to go around. Will stay here again if working in the area and need somewhere to stay.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Ramla Bay Resort; City: Mellieha Island of Malta; Review: The food at Christmas eve must be commended as the hotel went all out for this day but, apart from this single occasion, the choices were limited and repetitive. Special mention must be made of Diana the kids club lady who really made my kids enjoyed the holiday. The rooms were filthy and on three separate occasions we had to call the reception to send someone to make up or clean the room and where they say they have made the bed, we have found it unmade or sheets unchanged. Mention must also be made of the amount of cats in the hotel and the fact that they are allowed to roam all over the hotel the exception been the restaurant. I must state that I was given a bottle of wine by the hotel as it was my birthday during our stay at the hotel. Mention must also be made of the chef who tried to accommodate our dietary requirements. Will definitely recommend the massage in the spa if you are in to it. All in all, there were good things and not too good things about the hotel. There is a big extension work going on but it did not interfere with our stay but will expect that the hotel will renovate what it presently has before undertaking the magnitude of the extension been undertaken. The chairs in the lobby can do with replacing or upgraded, the menu in the bar can be extended as the hotel is in the middle of nowhere and there is no where else you can eat that does not require you travelling to. The carpets in the common area are stained and dirty looking which could be replaced to bring it up to a four star hotel standard. Special mention must also be made of the lady in the shop for been a good shop keeper.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Holiday Inn Cardiff North M4 Jct 32; City: Cardiff South Wales Wales; Review: Stayed here on Friday and did not get any sleep, the music was not turned down until I called at past 11 and I was on the 2nd floor. I just wonder how people below me were sleeping as the room was just vibrating. Because the rooms are not soundproofed, you can hear everything going on in the next room and the corridor so when people walked past, I woke up; not a pleasant stay!!!!; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Mercure Bristol Holland House Hotel Spa; City: Bristol England; Review: This hotel is very basic and average, very dated, the air conditioning in my room was noisy and doesn’t warm up. Complained and nothing was done about it. The food at the bar is basic and very expensive, the drinks are reasonably priced but the choices are very limited and you would expect that there would be a sauna attached to the pool. The windows do not open in the room, must say the shower is very good but the springs of the bed are hard and made sleeping very difficult!; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Novotel Suites Paris Rueil Malmaison; City: Rueil Malmaison Hauts de Seine Ile de France; Review: Stayed in this hotel in August as we were in Paris for a few days and wanted somewhere between the centre and Disney, it did what it said. Nothing fancy but, beds were quite good and the room was good. We were given complimentary breakfast because our room was not ready when we arrived when it should have been.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Kigali Marriott Hotel; City: Kigali Kigali Province; Review: Stopped over for a meeting and lunch, impressed with the ambiance and customer care. Will definitely be back. The club sandwich I had was on point especially as I wanted tuna filling instead of ham, was not too much for the chef and to say it was tasty is an understatement!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Lebanon Hotel; City: Kigali Kigali Province; Review: Absolute gem of a place, we really enjoyed our stay and the staffs such as Enoch, Jovial and the chambermaid who cleaned our rooms throughout our stay, made our stay very enjoyable. From been brought breakfast in bed to making of individual cakes to serve my cravings were spot on. The rooms were comfy and clean with the only downside been no mirrors in the rooms. Overall, a good and enjoyable stay. And the agotago on the 1st night was a fantastic introduction to Kigali; Rating: 5.0/5.0

The touch screen which was gimpy on the 300 works really well on the Maestro. I don't find the text to speech to sound weird, but sometimes it takes the unit forever to say everything it wants to say and you've already made the turn. Still...I do prefer that it nows says the name of the street. Sadly, the unit does not have the UK voice setting (I actually preferred the english accent which was an option on the Roadmate). The unit is up and running as soon as you turn it on - where as the Roadmate took a few minutes to figure out where it was. The unit is a breeze to type in the address. One complaint however is that the suction arm kind of squeeks when the road is bumpy - the Roadmate did not do that.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: TiVo AG0100 Wireless G USB Network Adapter for TiVo Series 2 and Series 3 DVRs; Brand: TiVo; Review: I have two older Series 2 Tivos. I had bought these units in order to allow TV show transfers between the two units over the wireless network. Unfortunately, the two units won't do this - the explanation I have gotten is that the units take too long to get the info from each other and they "time out" and that Tivo is hoping to work out some software patches (according to Tivo discussion boards). Have also noticed that my older Tivos run sluggish with these wireless units which the website also shows to be a common problem. When you switch channels it takes about 10 seconds of the image looking delayed and sluggish before it plays properly. However, in regards to connecting with Tivo for updating programming information it is much faster than dial up. Set up was also a pain in the neck as it did not work right out of the box for me as other posters have said. There was a lot of trial and error before I was able to get each unit to actually connect to the network. Instructions and Tivo customer support webpage could be improved. So if you have an older Tivo which is getting its programming over a phone line without problems, I would not suggest wasting time with this product. Tivo worked better before I bought these things. I'm just hoping Tivo creates a patch to where I get to see the full benefits of this product.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: HP Wireless 3 Button Mouse in Retail Packaging; Brand: HP; Review: Bought this mouse to replace the one at work.

I have one HDMI feeding to my flat panel on the wall as the hole is simply not big enough to feed two. I had it running into this device hoping to then use this to feed one cable to the cable box and the other to the DVD. I imagine this is what most people get it for. What I get instead is where my TV has a No input screen and I end up having to unplug one device for the other to work which defeats the whole purpose of this device. When I push the button which is supposed to toggle between devices it changes lights on the device but the TV does not get the correct signal. I wish I could still return it but I threw away the packaging and didn't really use it until it was past the return times... Complete waste of money.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: Bose CineMate 1 SR Home Theater Speaker System (Black); Brand: Bose; Review: Sure it's pricey but it's one of the best looking alternatives on the market and the wireless subwoofer is a real plus.

They arrived on June 10, 2015 since I am a Prime member and have two-day shipping. All 3 cameras worked fine until now. One of my cameras suddenly started displaying a purple, fuzzy opaque haze. I tried replacing the batteries, resyncing the camera, restarting my base station, and nothing has worked. The other 2 cameras are still fine. The information for the camera that stopped working is as follows: Hardware VMC3030; Serial Number 48B2547632453; Firmware1.2.2688. I am beyond upset, because these things were NOT cheap and I just invested in a set of 12 rechargeable batteries plus charger the other day (also NOT cheap).

I would say, however, that stringent editing is needed to eliminate over-use and inappropriate use of flowery adjectives, use of inappropriate verbs, etc. This was an enjoyable read which kept my interest until the last page.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Bait: The Angler Series-Book One; Author: Visit Amazon's Annie Nicholas Page; Review: I found the story interesting, but the main character, Connie aka "Rabbit" was unbelievably naive and passive in her actions and reactions for someone who is supposedly brave enough to set herself up as bait to catch vampires. For example, her following of instructions (stealing, from and lying to her friends) from someone she believes to be the enemy, without any attempt at dissembling, even in the face of blackmail, seems really too facile. Did she never think to make some provision in case of being double-crossed? In all fairness, Connie does show gumption on occasions, to the point where she can terminate those who threaten her beloved; however, I would have liked to see her react in a less passive and 'rabbit-like' manner in the way she interacts with her colleagues and enemies.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: The Utterly Uninteresting and Unadventurous Tales of Fred, the Vampire Accountant; Author: Visit Amazon's Drew Hayes Page; Review: I enjoyed this book, a comic take on the traditional vampire story. Our hero was shy and inept in life, and considers himself to be the same way in Undeath. However, it turns out he has more mojo than he realized. Wuth the help of a kickass girlfriend and other supernaturally talented friends, he manages to come through various hair-raising situations - resisting his natural urges to run home and hide from danger - and saves the day. Fred is a likable character, earnest and insecure. His girlfriend, who was his high school crush has a lot more going for her than anyone realizes, and his band of friends is a talented crew with lots of human flaws. This was a fun read, I did laugh aloud at times and would have been happy to have more stories to read. I'll be looking out for the sequels; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: How (Not) to Kiss a Prince (Cindy Eller #2); Author: Visit Amazon's Elizabeth A Reeves Page; Review: Light and frothy, lots of thought sustenance for foodies. The plot, however is very thin, there is very little suspense or anticipation or character development, and it's really easy to predict the outcome from early in the book. This is a fun read if you need to relax and escape the trials of everyday life.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Red Hot Steele (Daggers & Steele) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Alex P. Berg Page; Review: This was a fun read, narrated by classic hard-bitten, cynical, detective Daggers. I enjoyed his self-deprecating asides, albeit paired with an unshakeable chauvinism, and very non pc attitude toward women. The setting is in a 'pre-steam punk??' city, where Daggers and rookie detective Steele have a murder to solve. The story also focuses on Daggers' nascent self analysis and attempts to address some of his issues, as well as the establishment of a professional relationship between the two of them, with some surprises. This is a good weekend read, with a sly humor underlying the twisting plot.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 Title: The Bees; Author: Howard Hughes; Review: This book grabbed me from the first page, with its unique subject matter, based on the customs and cycles of bees.

Simple as that. Josh Sabarra's memoir is highly entertaining, honest and steamy!

I have read a lot of books and only one, up until The Aftermath, has touched my soul. Now two books have moved me emotionally and have me craving more. Kay Simone is a brilliant writer! Her characters are beautifully flawed and realistic. Her main characters, Will and Daniel are separated by ten years in age and you can the difference in listening to how they speak and the thoughts they have. Which is why Ms. Simone is brilliant! It's a great writer who can separate the voices of their characters so truly, giving them individual lives. Will and Daniel (or Dill as I fondly referred to them) meet on a random encounter at a dive bar in Spokane, WA. Daniel is eighteen and Will is twenty-eight. Daniel has snuck in on a fake ID and begins to hustle Will for money - initially its money until he realizes that the older man is indeed flirting with him - over a game of pool. After a steamy bathroom encounter Daniel splits as he's going to miss his ride. Neither of them introduce themselves or share much about themselves in these early pages. Which is okay because when Daniel shows up for his English class Monday morning guess who his new teacher is? That's right - the steamy tattooed man from the bar. Obviously there are some challenges to face and potential jail time for Will if things get out of hand. The question is, how will they deal with their highly electric chemistry when everything is at stake - for them both? I can't wait to read this again! Kay Simone you have a new fan and I am going to be eating up all of your work! A beautiful love story about two men learning to love each other and themselves. Remarkable! Literally breath-taking.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Life Debt: Aftermath (Star Wars) (Star Wars: The Aftermath Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's Chuck Wendig Page; Review: Loved it!

Love that we get more of Han Solo in this book!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Blade of the Destroyer: The Last Bucelarii Book I (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Andy Peloquin Page; Review: An original tale from a gifted writer! Andy Peloquin delivers a riveting tale full of intrigue, twists and action. We meet The Hunter early on in the tale. He's a loner, an assassin for hire. He wears disguises to hide his true face, which makes it easier for him to gain access to his targets. He's got a little bit of a heart tucked underneath his murdering ways. The Hunter accepts a contract to kill a Priest who committed a terrible act years earlier. However, shortly after taking the contract everything turns upside down for The Hunter. It's here that the story picks up and really grabs our attention and we are treated to the depths of the delightfully flawed and human character that Mr. Peloquin has created. I can't wait for the second installment of this series to see what further adventures lie ahead for The Hunter in a world that is dark. However, there are rays of light in this dark world The Hunter lives in. And those rays of light are so piercing in the darkness that they are blinding. An excellent tale that is so well-written you'll find yourself in love with the language on top of the very original story. Truly a must read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: All the Colors of Love; Author: Visit Amazon's Jessica Freely Page; Review: I absolutely loved this book! I read it in one sitting, that's how much I enjoyed it. The central characters are damaged - real damage, not fluffy everyday insults - that bring them together. While I was drawn to this loving non-traditional family it was the storyline of two young men falling in love that pulled me in. I wouldn't coin this a romance story though. There was everything in this book - action, mystery, a despicable villian, love, family, heartache, etc, etc, etc. I could go on and on. Harry is a loaner and an outcast who's emotions are very much negative and is ruled by an overwhelming hatred of his father. When he is forced to transfer to a new school he meets his roommate - Antonin, a talented artist who is strong willed and not afraid of much. At first they don't get along but soon they are the best of friends. During winter break they travel to Antonin's home, a trip Harry's father strangely approves of, and meet his family. They are a colorful cast of characters that you instantly fall in love with. Together they are family and like I said, all of them damaged but not beyond repair. Together they are healing from their pasts. And I think that was a major draw for me into this novel - we can all be fixed despite the mud we've walked through. And that love is everywhere around us. A fantastic tale that I will highly recommend to every hungry reader I come across! Thank you author Jessica Freely!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Booth; Author: Jason Pellegrini; Review: For as dark and twisted as parts of this novel were....it was incredibly uplifting. We're treated to a tale that literally spans the ages as a young man seeks redemption and works to shrug off the chains of his past that have dragged him down from one lifetime to the next. Joseph is a seemingly good young man raised in a nightmarish household. He knows right from wrong. And yet there is something lurking just beneath the surface that he just can't escape, a monster hides in plain sight. He wants to be nothing like his abusive, alcoholic and violent father. And yet, he is just like his father as time will tell. He meets Alexandra at a young age who also comes from a broken home. The two become fast friends. As time goes on they fall in love and leave their grim small town in their tracks. For a short time they enjoy happiness together until Joseph commits the ultimate sin and is sentenced to death. The first half of Jason Pelligrini's terrific novel focuses on Joseph and his journey, starting at age eight and going on to his death. After that, he learns of who he was in a past life. He has to correct the mistake he made as that person in order to gain redemption for a crime he deeply regrets. Only this will offer him a chance at a happy life. However, things don't always go as planned and Joseph comes to this realization as he continues on his journey to redemption. I couldn't set this book down. I started it yesterday and finished it a little while ago. Mr. Pelligrini is a wordsmith of the highest caliber as he tells his tale. We see the darkest and worst parts of the human psyche in this story. But we are also treated to glimpses of the best parts of each of us. In the end hope and love win out and we're left with an overwhelming desire to be a little better as we realize that Joseph has been through Hell and then some. It's not often that a fictional tale spurs such deep reflection in our real, everyday lives. This book not only delivers a great and compelling novel but also allows us to reflect a bit and cherish the good things and love a bit more. An excellent read! Literally a page-turning.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Leaving Everest; Author: Visit Amazon's Megan Westfield Page; Review: There are a number of things I enjoy about Megan Westfield's stories. First - they take people with baggage who feel like they are broken beyond repair and she puts them together. While we get to know them and see them interacting we are oftentimes left guessing as to what their future will be. Which is why her stories are so gripping. Second - she makes me want to get out into the outdoors and start rock climbing or, in this case, mountaineering. In "Leaving Everest" we meet Emily, a young lady who is living life at her father's side climbing up and down Mt. Everest. She is a young lady who doesn't know too much of the greater world past the rocky slopes around her. She loves this life. And then one day someone arrives who makes her heart flutter. Luke, a young man attending college in Washington state has flown home for a visit. Their feelings for each other are deeply buried in years of friendship and Circs (geo-locating Snapchat type of photos - read the book to find out about them, unless they exist in real life and in that case download the app). They spent a few weeks together working for various mountaineering companies that take tourists up the mountain and back down. During this time we see this pair grow individually and together. I just love how I get swept up in these books! I devoured this one like I did the first. What makes Ms. Westfield's stories of romance so captivating is the risk. These characters are like you and me - flawed and emotional and over thinking everything. And yet here they are trying to muddle through it all together and denying their feelings for each other but yet they can't help it. And neither can we! Will they or won't they? All of that aside the settings are in these fantastic places. The climb to the top of Mt. Everest is deadly so there's that risk thrown in. All in all - the risk is worth it, especially on Ms. Westfield's second novel. There is a great tie-in to her first novel (as I was reading my mind kept coming back to April. Where have I read about her before?). Pretty slick I must say! A must-read for those who crave the fresh air of the great outdoors and for those who sigh that love-filled sigh after reading an amazing romance novel.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with products as follows: Title: Logitech Illuminated Ultrathin Keyboard K740 with Laser-etched Backlit Keyboard and Soft-touch Palm Rest; Brand: Logitech; Review: I love this keyboard. It is super quiet but still has good tactile feel. This is the second one I own and would buy another if it wasn't priced as it is. The price is fair for the quality, I'm just not in the habit of paying this much for a keyboard but it is a really nice keyboard. Only complaint is the backlight on the keys isn't exact and does show some either misalignment or lack of light source(slightly darkened on the edges of some of the keys). Oh, and the F keys are lit but for the FN icons and not the actual function number labels which are on the facing edge. The FN icons are illuminated in other words.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 Title: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Bluetooth Mouse (H3S-00001); Brand: Microsoft; Review: Connected to Windows 7 Ent. x64 using ASUS USB-BT400 device. I would love to say that this mouse is awesome because it is one of the most comfortable designs with just the right amount of extended functionality in regards to a Bluetooth full size mouse. Here is the problem: It is branded Microsoft but getting it to pair and install And work is like trying to install hardware on Windows 95! I'm not kidding and I'm not exaggerating either. I would love to get a refund simply for the amount of time, googling and pure frustration I had to go through in order to get it to connect much less work. Please keep in mind that I don't claim to know everything Windows related but I think it is fair that considering I've been in the IT industry for 20plus years that I know what I'm doing. That doesn't mean that someone else could have a completely different experience on different hardware or even the same but HOLY COW! I feel like I just finished recovering a Server 2007 Exchange install with full-on Raid5! What a disaster. Ok, a little more rant. I seriously considered formatting the system and installing Ubuntu to see if that would work better. All I can say is good luck if you buy it and it is a sweet mouse if you can get it to work.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: ASUS USB Adapter w/Bluetooth Dongle Receiver Transfer Wireless for Laptop PC Support Windows 10 Plug and Play /8/7/XP, Printers,; Brand: Asus; Review: It works with Win7 x64 but ASUS hasn't updated the drivers so you have to get the bluetooth stack from www.broadcom.com.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: MMOBIEL Digitizer for iPad 3; Brand: MMOBIEL; Review: Of all the other brands I've purchased this one had the best fit. The glass still seems a bit thinner than the OEM glass and also doesn't have the same anti-glare or anti-smudge properties of the OEM glass. The digitizer itself began failing after only a week of use with erratic behavior and rendering the onscreen keyboard useless due to touch sensing multiple presses and presses when no fingers are touching at all. This digitizer behavior has been the case with all other iPad replacements I have performed and was really hoping I had found an aftermarket replacement part that would be dependable but that doesn't appear to be the case.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 Title: Prokit Adhesive New white iPad 3 Digitizer Touch Screen Front Glass Assembly - Includes Home Button + Camera Holder; Brand: Prokit Adhesive; Review: This digitizer failed after only two days of use. Only half the screen detects touch. Also, seemed to be just slightly oversized which made installation more difficult than usual. This was not my first iPad screen repair. The best part of this kit was the quality of the tools.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 Title: MATO Online® White Touch Digitizer LCD Screen Plastic Bezel Middle Frame Part Replacement for iPad 2 3 4; Brand: MATO Online; Review: I didn't realize it did not come with pre-attached adhesive.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 Title: Klipsch R-20B Bluetooth Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer (Satin Black); Brand: Klipsch; Review: Fantastic sound quality and I'm impressed with the lack of or absence of sound sync to video. I can't tell that the sub is wireless and my only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that it doesn't have the ability to add rear BT speakers to upgrade later. If that were possible I couldn't imagine a more perfect soundbar sub solution at this price. I've been using mostly Denon, Yamaha, and Onkyo receivers in the past and this is easily equal in sound quality. Top notch!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
