Title: TRAM 1610-HC 5-Ft VHF Marine Antenna; Brand: Wholesale Parts; Review: Got this antenna quickly and was able to assemble it without too much trouble, although the assembly instructions are not included.

Antenna seems to work fairly well in the lowered NVIS position similar to how the military use fold over antennas. Price was also not too bad.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: CableWholesale BNC Female to UHF (PL259) Male Adapter; Brand: CableWholesale; Review: Had to buy these adaptors since I had purchased some terminated RG8 without noticing that they were terminated with BNC connectors, rather than PL259's.

Title: Shutter Island; Author: Visit Amazon's Dennis Lehane Page; Review: This book is worth the read simply because of Lehanes writing - always competent and at times spectacular in his characterizations and economy of style. As for the substance of the book, it goes limp at the end, the author opting for the same ending done to death by earlier writers such as Fredric Brown, Kurt Vonnegut, and Ray Bradbury. This would have made a brilliant short story.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Medici Dagger; Author: Visit Amazon's Cameron West Page; Review: This is just a laughably horrible novel. I should have been forewarned by the lack of blurbs on the cover. It's cliche-ridden with only a clumsy parody of an emotional subtext and no character development. I imagine the only reason it made it to publication is the Da Vinci hype.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: How to Be Good; Author: Visit Amazon's Nick Hornby Page; Review: In "How To be Good Nick Hornby has taken a break from the cool, ironically detatched protagonists of his previous work and taken a look at an entirely different character. Kate Carr is a middle class liberal doctor for the NHS. Her cranky husband and two rather annoying little kids keep her from the overindulgence in pop culture that characterized Hornby's previous novels. This intriguing novel is daring in several ways. Kate Carr narrates with an almost stream-of-conscious interior monologue. This would be a tough trick for any author to pull off; it is quite difficult to maintain a consistent tone with a character who has such a radically different viewpoint from one's own. Mr. Hornby pulls it off admirably. He also attempts another daunting task, to address existential questions - to drill into the very concept that titles his book - using a character from a "postal code" (as the narrator describes her particular set of values, neighbors and material possesions) that it is trendy or PC to write off as culturally irrelevant or hopelessly materialistic and burgouise. And those are the very reasons that Hornby is able to find common ground and common cause, and expound universally on questions about good intentions, our responsibilities to ourselves, our families, and to society at large. These are of course thorny questions and people have written volumes about them without resolving them. What Hornby has is a philosophical dialogue couched in the mundane, peppered with priceless vignettes such as the main character, a liberal public health doctor yanking a handful of money out of the hands of a homeless person to the shock of a mob of well dressed theatre-goers. The magic of Hornby's writing is that you see exactly why she's ripping the money out of the poor vagrant's hands and you're actually rooting her on, before realizing along with her what she was doing. Genius. In the end, the questions aren't answered, of course - how can they be? - but he has given us a new way to look at the questions -and a fast, funny cautionary tale in the bargain.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Journal; Author: Visit Amazon's Ryan Shamblee Page; Review: I read this in about 2 hours. The journal conceit works well. I don't want to give anything away, other than this is a fast-paced, disturbing thriller; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Cast On, Bind Off: 211 Ways to Begin and End Your Knitting; Author: Cap Sease; Review: What an interesting collection of techniques! This book is clearly a reference book. Don't try to read it like a novel or you may never get to the knitting:) . It has detailed instructions with photos and reasons to use the method described. I sent this to my aunt who knits every day and she was amazed at the variety of cast on and bind off methods. This is really something considering she is a master knitter who is over 80 years old. She is very talented and never tires of learning new things. The 4 stars is a warning to beginners.....the techniques vary from very easy to difficult. be patient and try them a few times if challenging with scrap yarn, then use as needed.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Amazing You!: Getting Smart About Your Private Parts; Author: Visit Amazon's Gail Saltz Page; Review: This book has started several conversations about bodies between my kids and me. I like the chance for my kids to see bodies without any judgment as well as the simple explanation of how bodies change over time. I wouldn't mind if there were pictures of real people instead of just drawings, but I'm sure that wouldn't sell well in the US. I hope this book will continue to help me have those uncomfortable conversations with my kids. I recommend this for kids before they can read through 2nd grade or so.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Birdman: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Mo Hayder Page; Review: A little redundant. Mo writes matter-of-factly about things I don't want to think about most of the time, and does it in a way that keeps you coming back.

Title: Slammerkin: A Loose Dress, A Loose Woman; Author: Visit Amazon's Emma Donoghue Page; Review: I really enjoyed this book. It's one that stayed with me long after I read the last page. The protagonist is not particularly likeable, but I found myself rooting for her to do the right thing over and over again. The choices she made were understandable, though, considering how rough her life was. The end felt a bit hurried, particularly after parts of the middle dragged a bit, but I would read another book by this author.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Since I borrowed it (and authors make money per page on borrowed books) I will not read any further than I have gotten. This man is not a changed man, he is just trying to manipulate a much larger audience. Since his wife finally got away from him, he is just looking for someone else to manipulate. If he were truly sorry for his behavior, this is not the book he would have written. Please don't give this abuser your time or money. Reading this book was just like being gas lit, manipulated, and abused all over again.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Sixth Extinction (Sigma Force); Author: Visit Amazon's James Rollins Page; Review: As usual Rollins knocks it out of the park with this continuation of the Sigma Series. Loved it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet; Author: Visit Amazon's Charlie N. Holmberg Page; Review: I listened to this book while driving, and found the miles passed swiftly with this story as my companion. I picked this book because I'd read Paper Magician and enjoyed it, and Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet did not disappoint. It was a bit darker than Paper Magician, but I did not find it to be too dark or depressing. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys well-written fantasy that doesn't have to be told over the course of half-a-dozen books or more.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Villa La Estancia Beach Resort Spa Los Cabos; City: Cabo San Lucas Los Cabos Baja California; Review: We booked our trips months age through Expedia for travel June 30th-July 5th. Originally, we booked at Villa del Arco and upon arrival, were informed that we needed to speak to management. I immediately became upset because I thought that there was a problem with our reservations (as in, they didn't exist!). We were escorted to a table in the far corner where one of the resort's managers came and sat down with us and began to explain that there was a computer glitch that had occurred and that the resort was overbooked. After I began to get more upset, he did his best to calm me down and explain that we would actually be at the next resort, Villa La Estancia, and that this was, indeed, an upgrade to what we had originally booked. When he said the word "upgrade," I calmed down! He next proceeded to walk us over and introduce us to the concierge, who explained how the all-inclusive feature would work, what restaurants we would have access to, and who showed us to our room, 3203B. All of what I had been upset about disappeared when I saw the room and the facilities. It was absolutely GORGEOUS!! The grounds are manicured and the room was immaculate. We probably could have eaten off the floor, if we were in the habit of doing such. :) All week long, we were treated like royalty. The entire staff is extremely friendly and goes out of their way to make you feel welcomed. We tried every restaurant on the resort except the Mexican restaurant. Our favorite was the steakhouse. The steaks were right up there with Ruth's Chris and the wait staff was very accommodating. We also ate breakfast there every morning. Our favorite person that we met all week was our hostess at the restaurant named Jazmin. She closed every night, then was right back up there before 6:00 the next morning, always with a smile on her face! I HIGHLY recommend this resort to anyone looking to travel to Cabo! This was our first time going to Cabo (we usually travel the Caribbean), and while we were there we were already making plans to return!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Tillman; City: Clemson South Carolina; Review: Being an alumnae of Clemson, I was familiar with all of the surrounding hotels and what they had to offer. However, I did not realize that this hotel had recently had some remodeling and was under a new name. This is a great little boutique hotel with orange and purple in every room! The lobby and hallways are filled with pictures from the campus which makes it even more inviting. If you love Clemson like I do, then this is the perfect place to stay!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: La Quinta Inn Suites Charlotte Airport North; City: Charlotte North Carolina; Review: We always stay at this airport the night before we fly out of Charlotte because we can leave our car there while we are gone. The hotel is clean, quiet and very reasonably priced and I never worry about the safety of my car while I am gone. My favorite part of the stay is always the shuttle drivers. They are so friendly and love to talk (which at 5:30 a.m. isn't always good!). They were very prompt picking us up at the airport on our return trip.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn at Greenville Convention Center; City: Greenville South Carolina; Review: I chose this particular hotel because of its proximity to the TD Convention Center and was pleasantly surprised at how clean and well maintained it was. The rooms are extremely clean; great water pressure in the shower; charging stations in the room; fast wifi, etc.. Breakfast was more than just continental: waffles, eggs, omelettes, sausage, etc...Check in/out was fast and easy and the rates were MUCH lower than anything else in the area!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Crystal River; City: Crystal River Florida; Review: We wanted to take our kids on a different vacation this year rather than going to the beach once again. We had visited Crystal River when they were younger to snorkel with the manatees but we were only there for the day. We chose the Holiday Inn Express because of its proximity to everything around Crystal River. The hotel was extremely clean and updated with a great breakfast (pancakes, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, sweets, etc ..). The staff was very friendly and offered suggestions on paces to eat, things to do, etc.. I would DEFINITELY recommend staying here!!!! The only thing I can say bad about this place is they claim the beds were two queen sized beds in the room and as someone who is 6' and whose husband is 6'7", they were definitely NOT queen sized!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Boston Park Plaza; City: Boston Massachusetts; Review: I had to go to Boston for a conference and had no control over which hotel I stayed in but I am so glad that I was booked at this hotel! It is in a great location with walking distance to almost everywhere downtown you need to go. The rooms I stayed in was a nice size for one or two people. The bathroom, not so much. There is very little counter space, or space period for that fact, but since I didn't go to Boston to hang out in the hotel bathroom it was fine. The only frustrating thing was that they kept closing/blocking off the doors that everyone needed to go in and out of to catch the shuttle to the conference center (which is also within walking distance!). I travel a lot and would definitely stay here again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dayton House Resort; City: Myrtle Beach South Carolina; Review: This hotel is SO BAD...it needs reviews by both the people who were going to stay there! I don't even know where to begin with this review so I guess I will start at the beginning. We found one of those last minute deals on Expedia (I will be reviewing this on that site as well) where they were offering an ocean-view room here for $99 (plus the taxes and "resort" fees, of course). My best friend and I were looking for a quick, inexpensive getaway and for that price, it was perfect! We checked out all of the pictures online and read through some of the reviews and booked, all excited about a few days away. We get to the beach Monday and go to check in at the hotel. The front desk staff was nice (well, minus the lady who sprayed cleaner into the air conditioning unit right beside me and it sprayed all over me!). She got us checked in, gave us our wristbands, and showed us on the map where we could park and where our building was. There are three nice big buildings on the ocean, and then there is the West Tower. I am using the term tower VERY loosely. The West Tower is across the street and our "ocean view" room was on the 2nd floor at the end of the hall and faced the back parking lot behind it. You couldn't even see the ocean because of the other parts of the hotel blocking the view. We were kind of curious and figured we would check it out and OH MY GOD!! At first, we couldn't get the door to open. The lights would turn green but the door would not open. After pushing on it with our hips, it finally busted open. The first thing to hit us was the sound of the air conditioner. It sounded like a NASCAR race was happening right there in the room. I wish I could post a video on here so you could hear how loud it was. The door wouldn't close once we were inside (again, it's on video). The sheets were ripped on the corners. The smell was horrific (We may have mold spores in our lungs LOL). The toilet was dirty and had not been cleaned in God knows how long. Looong story short, they refunded us the money and the security deposit but the hotel manager did NOT want to see the pictures that we took or watch our video. If you book here, be VERY CAREFUL which "Tower" they put you in.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: D-Link Wireless Dual Band N-900 Mbps USB Wi-Fi Network Adapter (DWA-162); Brand: D-Link; Review: This is another evasive Chinese product that wants all your personal information and that controls your computer. The Chinese know that Americans are stupid. They insist that you input all your personal information and also insist that you include a copy of your receipt to make their product work. I did not include that and they disabled the adaptor after one restart. It doesn't work now in 5g. I've been working with computers for 30 years and it is obvious that this hardware/software from the Chinese is another scam of the Chinese.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

I've read other reviews probably not from this supplier that they come assembled. Mine did not.

Title: KRUPS FDE312 Universal Grill and Panini Maker with Nonstick Cooking Plates, Silver; Brand: KRUPS; Review: I was loving this panini grill and used it weekly for about four months until it died. It worked just long enough for me to throw away all the packaging and receipts...I couldn't even remember where I had purchased it. So without being able to return it, I took it apart to see what the problem was. It has a thermal fuse that breaks if the grill temperature gets too high, and once it breaks, you have to replace the fuse. It would be a simple repair, but the exact fuse is not easy to find. I recommend passing on this grill until they fix this design problem.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hoover WindTunnel Anniversary Upright Vacuum, Bagged, U5491900; Brand: Hoover; Review: Picked out this model after seeing a favorable Consumer Reports review, and the price was attractive compared to other options. However it was dead-on-arrival...it simply did not operate when the power switch was turned on. The power switch is a very flimsy plastic slider with some plastic linkage to the actual electrical switch, however this is all hidden within the chassis of the unit and not something you can fix without a lot of work. So I'll be returning this unit. It's just as well... I would not predict a long life for that switch even if it was working. So I can't comment on how well the thing vacuums...but I'm not inclined to try a replacement unit. The hatch for the attachments seems pretty flimsy and prone to opening when you don't want it to. The attachments themselves are absolutely the cheapest plastic things Hoover could get away with.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Taylor Commercial Waterproof Digital Cooking Thermometer; Brand: Taylor Precision Products; Review: I've never had a Taylor thermometer that lasted more than 2 months. Fragile construction, displays that are damaged by moisture and heat... Taylor thermometers: "Hey if it dies quickly, they'll just buy another!"; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Rösle 16245 Digital Thermometer; Brand: Rosle; Review: It appears to be a well-made product, the kind of thing that can bounce around in a drawer with no ill effects. But I wanted to check the temperature of my freezer, so I put the probe in for a few hours. Normal freezer temps are well within the specified temperature range, so I didn't anticipate that there would be any problem. But the probe did not work following the "freezer test"...seemed as if the LCD display died, but I can't be certain. A new set of batteries did not fix the problem. The worst part is that I contacted Rosle customer support, and heard nothing. So you are on your own with this product.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Secura Electric Coffee and Spice Grinder with Stainless-Steel Blades; Brand: Secura; Review: Mine died after about three months. I was very diligent about handwashing it and keeping water away from the electronics in the base of the pitcher. I can only assume that it was not designed for the long haul. Worked well before its untimely demise though.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker | Bluetooth | 800W | Anova App Included; Brand: Anova Culinary; Review: There is a propeller/impeller inside the unit, at the end of a long shaft. The shaft can get easily misaligned in normal use, such that the impeller will make contact with the housing, creating a loud buzzing noise. So I regularly have to take the unit apart, bend the shaft back to center, then hope that when I reassemble the unit, the buzzing will stop. It's a pretty obvious design flaw that they will undoubtedly fix in the next version. Having said that, I love everything else about this cooker, and would still opt for this product over the other sous vide cookers I have seen.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Best Silicone Oven Mitts, Grilling, BBQ, Baking Gloves, Kitchen, Cooking, BBQ Accessories, Pot Holders, Heat Resistant up to; Brand: Uncle Kitchen; Review: I am nursing the giant blister I have on my hand caused by these mitts. They work well enough for a while, but my pair developed a hole at a stress point between the thumb and forefinger. I did not notice the hole until I grabbed a 500F cast iron pan with these, and the pan made direct contact with my skin through the hole. The other problem with silicone mitts like these is that they are not easy to slip on and off, especially if your hands are at all damp... it's much better to have something wiht a fabric liner.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: 9 Muses Hotel Skala Beach; City: Skala Cephalonia Ionian Islands; Review: We stayed at the hotel at the end of Aug for four nights. Found the hotel very efficient and professional. Rooms cleaned every day without disturbing us,staff friendly, breakfast good apart from wasps (which are out of their control), attractive pool, sun bathing and bar area. An enjoyable stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Golf Residence Hotel; City: Port El Kantaoui Sousse Governorate; Review: This hotel may have been luxurious when built but the owners have forgotten to keep it up-to-date. Good facilities and reasonable food but requires re-decorating throughout, rooms quite dirty and old (part of our bathroom ceiling fell in and the wardrobe door fell off). Understand that some of the rooms are beautiful but we were not so lucky, so if going research properly and request a better room. Also always make sure you get your change when paying the waiters for drinks etc, no hairdryer in room, cost 5 dinars for one week) and they tried to charge us for mini bar items which we never had!! Also had to pay 10 dinars each for entertainment in hotel one night - never had to do that before anywhere in the world - surely the idea of entertainment in the hotel is to keep you there so that you spend in the bar (which we did and was not cheap). Admittedly the weather was not good and we were more or less forced to stay in the hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Forever Club; City: Bodrum City Bodrum Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: The complex is located on the side of a hills surrounding Bodrum and sitting in the Monachus bar in the evening, sipping a cocktail and watching the Aegean Sea gives you the impression you are on a cruise ship - the most amazing sunsets! The complex would benefit from another pool as one pool area is not enough to accommodate the number of guests. The rooms are of a good size and are clean with quite tasteful decoration. Bodrum is a lovely town BUT is a good 40 minutes' walk and not cheap. In fact nothing on this holiday was cheap - the drinks at Forever are extortionate if you wish to drink out of the all-inclusive hours. The food was a bit boring but we never left the dining room hungry. In all we enjoyed a happy two weeks.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: ALEGRIA Infiniti Beach Resort; City: Vera Province of Almeria Andalucia; Review: Complex impressive pity about surroundings. Looks like crisis has hit this area.Half an hour walk along promenade to Garrucha for more choices or drive to Mojacar which is more developed touristically. Try to avoid room 66 with its constant clanking of gates as people come and go.It's a gated complex!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Miraflores Beach Country Club; City: Mijas Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: One bedroom apartment close to the beach was amazing.Spacious,clean,well equipped,sea view,balcony and garden.Very relaxing.Only negatives the very busy main road and the small beach immediately in front a bit rocky.Must visit Mijas in the mountains .Wished we could have stayed for longer; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Airone Pisa Park Hotel; City: San Giuliano Terme Province of Pisa Tuscany; Review: Our two night stay at the hotel was comfortable and enjoyable.We explored Pisa,dined in Lucca and took the train to Florence and were able to see some of the glorious Tuscan country side.

Title: Majestic Hotel; City: Oludeniz Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: We spent two happy weeks at the Majestic in the end of May.We where pleasantly surprised with the surroundings,the service and friendliness of all the staff.Everything was clean and tidy we booked the half board option"would recommend"and founded satisfied.All in all a really good holiday.Our only criticism is the rooms which are small with poor quality furniture and small balconies however the pool area and the facilities are good so we didn't spend much time in the room. But if are looking for a budget holiday this is the place.Give it a go.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Europa; City: Minori Amalfi Coast Province of Salerno Campania; Review: We booked through booking com just picking randomly from the hotels offered without reading any reviews. Nearer to our holiday we checked some reviews and lead to believe we were about to have a holiday in hell and very nearly cancelled. Why oh why do people book and pay for a three star hotel and then expect five star service. At the hotel Europa you get everything you pay for and more. Maria,Mama and the family do everything the can to make your stay enjoyable even though it may not appear so on arrival. Yes they shout but that is their Italian way - it is a family run business after all.The breakfast is very good with a lot of choice - but don't forget in Italy you eat Italian. Yes the parking is small and tight but cheaper than anywhere else in town - consider the lack of space in Amalfi Coast. The hotel could do with a bit of modernisation but it was clean and tidy with clean towels everyday and bedding changed regularly. AND you are only two minutes walk from the beach and the town. Overall we had a very pleasant week there and we suggest others should experience this small Italian family hotel for themselves instead of believing others. DO IT YOURSELF -the Italian way!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Asteri Metsovo Hotel S A; City: Metsovo Ioannina Region Epirus; Review: Stayed in for one night in Metsovo on the way to Corfu at the Asteri Hotel.

This family run business offer to the guests everything needed to make your stay as comfortable as the can. For a sort stay in the area I would thoroughly recommend this hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ntinas Hotel; City: Trikala Trikala Region Thessaly; Review: The hotel situated in the middle of Trikala amongst all the shops,cafes, and bars and all their bustle and noise.The atmosphere is great,the hotel is clean,comfortable and friendly BUT oh don't forget the ears plugs if you want to sleep cos the night life goes on until 5am.I would however recommend you stay at Ntinas as long as you bear this in mind.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: La Palma Princess Teneguia Princess; City: Fuencaliente de la Palma La Palma Canary Islands; Review: The hotel location surrounded by bananas fields is a bit isolated. We never used the bus service but from a quick check is looks reasonable. The hotel spreads down a volcanic hill and from the restaurants you can see a panorama of pools which look like lakes. The food was reasonable you could always find something to eat. The room was clean and spacious. The whole holiday was well organised by Tui. The only negative was the Christmas “gala” The service this particular day was bad and the drescode never followed by the hotel as they promised,for example next to our table were sitting three lads with track suits, trainers and t-shirts! Despite all this the Christmas experience in the sun was well enjoyed; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Oberoi Mumbai; City: Mumbai Maharashtra; Review: Just loved to stay at the Oberoi. Whether you call it for the room, view, dining or the service, everything was to your delight. You can just not escaped to be pampered here. Also loved the food at Ziya.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taj Bengal Kolkata; City: Kolkata Calcutta Kolkata District West Bengal; Review: The rooms are decent, a bit small toilets but good overall. Loved the food and the service. Entire Staff is pretty helpful. Got a good guidance for places that I had to visit. Also had a good experience at the hub for breakfast.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ibis Bengaluru Hosur Road; City: Bengaluru Bangalore District Karnataka; Review: -- The only good abt it is the breakfast. -- Poor service -- Good other than breakfast is not good -- Room is decent with the price they charge but don't have any expectation on the service. -- it is good if u just wanna stay and not use services like restaurant or laundry or anything else. -- checkin also take time. Staff is not very efficient. Waiting times are more; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Taj MG Road Bengaluru; City: Bengaluru Bangalore District Karnataka; Review: I am a Taj member and one distinguishing part of this group has been their service that I always like. They make it happen for you. This was a different experience. I would not call it bad as it want bad at all but was definitely not up to Taj standards. Simple examples being when you go for breakfast, there r times 2 people come and ask you for your room number. You tell your room number and after 15 mins the person again comes because she could remember the number I said. You don't appreciate such things when you are having a peaceful breakfast. Then you order for eggs and the guy forgets to cook it for you as there were many orders. At the bar you take a drink and order for the next one to hear they are out of stock on that brand. You order for something through in room dining and you get to know that the menus have changed and you cannot get that item any more. So in short these are small things but doesn't leave a good impression especially for ppl who have been Taj Service fans. Overall the hotel is good and peaceful. Location is the best.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Oberoi Bengaluru; City: Bengaluru Bangalore District Karnataka; Review: This hotel's main 3 wow factors are location, scenic beauty inside (you really cannot make out from outside) and the most Awesome thing is their service. I have been to many hotels of this category in Bangalore, but by far this was the best experience. You get whatever you need before you ask. The warmth that the staff shows which really helps you to feel comfortable is commendable. I also liked their buffet spread for breakfast. I would definitely visit again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Appin House; City: Edinburgh Scotland; Review: This place was neat and clean. Room is spacious and has all the necessary requirements. The best part was the privacy you get. The owner is a lovely man. We spoke to him during our checkout and definitely he has maintained the property and rooms quite well. Overall really liked with the price he charges.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Glenmoriston Town House; City: Inverness Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: Had read very good reviews about this and hence booked it. Firstly, when we entered, it wasn't a warm welcome. May be it was a busy evening with restaurant almost full and hence everyone was busy. Next, when we entered the rooms, the biggest disappointment was the size of the room. Very small room and crammed. It was fine to just spend the night and leave but won't like to be here to relax and enjoy the place.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Cuillin Hills Hotel; City: Portree Isle of Skye The Hebrides Scotland; Review: The biggest advantage of this hotel is the location. What a view! Mind blowing. Rooms and breakfast are also good. I even liked their bar. Overall had a great time here and again definitely a big plus for the view and location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Park Kolkata; City: Kolkata Calcutta Kolkata District West Bengal; Review: The best part about the hotel is it's location. Bang on Park Street makes it very accessible. I also liked the bars and the restaurant including their breakfast spread. But the most disappointing part was the room itself. I think hotel really needs some maintenance that it lacks. I took the luxury premium room and It looked too old. Furniture was shaky, doors not closing properly. Shower not functionality well. Wasn't too happy.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Kinivo 301BN 3-Port High Speed 4K HDMI Switch With IR Wireless Remote And AC Power Adapter; Brand: Kinivo; Review: I was amazed at the quality of this product for the price. I was running my Blu-Ray player and Dish DVR through an early model Sony receiver that has an HDMI pass through. Now, by passing my HDMI directly through the Kinivo box, I think I actually improved my video quality. I'm also really impressed with the 'smart' switching, where it auto-detects which device you're using. Furthermore, the 'vain' side of me really likes the design and look of the Kinivo... I wanted something that didn't look like a clunky plastic box from Radio Shack. So, kudos for designing a beautiful item that works great for a great price! I'll leave 1 Star open because I'm generally a believer that "you get what you pay for". I hope I don't have to come back here 6 months from now to change my review. (fingers crossed)... but so far, so good. I'm thrilled!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Case Logic BNW-24 Polyester CD/DVD Wallet 24 Capacity (Black); Brand: Case Logic; Review: Not much to say... it's a CD case... it holds CD's and DVD's, the material is great, the price was great! 5 Stars!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone – Supports Wireless Music Streaming and Hands-Free calling; Brand: Kinivo; Review: My main use for the Kinivo headphones is in my work cubicle... I move around a lot checking paperwork and my computer and wanted the freedom of wireless headphones. I pair this with the Kinivo USB bluetooth transmitter. I've also used this jogging, paired with my iphone and wasn't as pleased. It feels bulky on your head. For that, I suggest just regular ear-buds. But for work use and maybe airplane use, you can't go wrong with these.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kinivo BTD-400 Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy USB Adapter - For Windows 10/8.1/8 / Windows 7 / Vista, Raspberry; Brand: Kinivo; Review: I've been using this on my work computer paired with the bluetooth Kinivo headphones... love it! I have to move around my cubicle a lot going through paperwork and checking my computer. I wanted the freedom of wireless headphones and this did the trick.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Peavey - iPad Holder; Brand: Peavey; Review: I have a 3rd Generation iPad and it fit this item just fine... it comes with a conversion kit for iPad1 or iPad2, but the iPad2 fits the iPad3 just fine, especially since the plastic has a little 'flex' to it. My main reason for selecting this one was the direct mount and arm mount option, plus I trust the Peavey name. I've read a lot of reviews on Tablet holders and even seen some in person, and let's face it... they all kind of suck. Most of these things are very flimsy and can't exactly support the weight of an iPad. This one isn't much different. The support arm has to be wrenched pretty tight to keep it from gradually drooping down from the weight of the iPad, but it's still a nice option to have. What works best is just connecting the holder directly to the top of a mic stand as pictured. Normally, I would give something like this a 2 or 3 star review, but by comparison... this is about the best option out there for the price and the mounting options.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cheetah Mounts APFMSB TV Wall Mount Bracket for 20-55” TVs Up To VESA 400 and 115 lbs including a Twisted; Brand: Cheetah; Review: So far, so good... it does the job... it's a lot smaller than I expected. You can certainly do better, but the price is right. They didn't include any instructions.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: GoPro The Handler Floating Hand Grip (GoPro Official Mount); Brand: GoPro; Review: Just got back from Disney and the Handler was the perfect accessory for my Hero4.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sony HT-CT770 2.1 Channel 330W Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer; Brand: Sony; Review: Great sound for the price... great options... sleak, low profile. I really wanted the model that included surround speakers, but didn't like the idea that the surround speakers were wired to the subwoofer. So, I settled for just the soundbar and subwoofer. This definitely serves my needs.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: AmazonBasics Ultra Thin Indoor TV Antenna - 25 Mile Range; Brand: AmazonBasics; Review: Didn't work... 35 miles is too short a distance.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Queens Park Hotel; City: London England; Review: I booked this hotel because of it's excellent location and price. I had read other people's so called 'horror' stories and went into this hotel fearing for the worst... But what confronted me was exactly the opposite to what everyone else was saying. Admittedly I had to leave before breakfast so I could not comment on that; but everything else? The room was clean (no bugs whatsoever) good, modern facilities (though an extra power socket for the wall would not go a miss) the staff were attentive AND friendly, and the Taxi's were to the absolute second on time and with polite drivers... (So they don't have a Taxi sign on the car roof? Honestly, talk about nitpicking, the set fee for locations was very reasonable and due to London traffic it was nice to be able to sit back and not worry about the price going up) It is a budget hotel (of sorts) so I'm not sure what people were expecting. Solid hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Great Barr Hotel; City: Birmingham West Midlands England; Review: Didn't read any reviews prior to booking, perhaps best I didn't, because I personally had no major problems with the hotel. My room was clean. Best thing about the place - the absolutely outstanding breakfast, one of the best Full Englishes I've ever had, not only compares to other 3 star hotels but even better than some 4 I've been in - the breakfast staff likewise are top notch. That alone merits a revisit should I be in the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Heath Cottage Hotel; City: Dewsbury West Yorkshire England; Review: Excellent quality breakfast, brilliant staff, good solid clean rooms with qualify furnishings. Certainly doesn't feel like a 3 star, more like 4! Don't hesitate to use them if you have something planned nearby...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Dukes Head Inn; City: Richmond upon Thames Greater London England; Review: Needed a good location and a fair price. Everything else need only be "good". So if that sounds like you , don't hesitate to book in. Only ate Breakfast which was good. The pub itself is a good little boozer. Conveniently placed 10 mins walk away from Richmond under/over. So I couldn't fault it. Yes a little dated in places but come on, it's an inn above a pub, it's not a 3 star hotel. But it remains a quality 3 star experience!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Golden Tulip Krakow City Center Hotel; City: Krakow Lesser Poland Province Southern Poland; Review: Quality 4 star hotel with an extremely reasonable price due to its location. Probably 10 minute walk from old town. Superb bar, good and attentive staff, excellent breakfast. Quiet neighbourhood. You really can't go wrong.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The King William Hotel; City: London England; Review: It suffices as a three star hotel with easy access to the O2 and for me is priced fairly. The bed was fine. But for me it loses a couple of marks - not sure whether it was double glazing (doesn't appear to be) but with the location on Trafalgar Road which is active and busy 24/7, it was very hard to get a good night's sleep. Double Glazing required. Secondly, there was no toilet brush in the room. WHAAAT! Maybe that was a one off but it's a fundamental thing that should not be missing from any bathroom, especially a 3 star hotel! I wouldn't necessarily rush to go back but if it was a choice of this hotel or no visit at all I'd happily use them again... But with earplugs!; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Alaska Brides Collection: Five Romances Persevere in the Alaska Wilderness; Author: Visit Amazon's Mary Connealy Page; Review: I enjoyed these all in one books. It was refreshing to read about Alaska, as well. The authors did a good job of giving you a good feel for what it would be like to live in the Land of the Midnight Sun. Very informative, as well, with lots of historical information woven in. I now have a better idea of what my grandparents endured when they lived in Fairbanks, Alaska years ago. A good read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Beauty and The Beast; Author: Marie Leprince De Beaumont; Review: I had never read the original book, so I decided it was about time to do so. The book is somewhat different from the Disney versions, but good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lady Of High Regard - Ladies Of Liberty; Author: Visit Amazon's Tracie Peterson Page; Review: I enjoyed the characters in this book. The author had studied the time in history and described it well. I love the way Peterson fits Scripture in at appropriate times, making it a normal part of the conversations. The book has a little of everything...adventure, mystery, crime, love, death, family, and history. Overall, a good read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Promise of Hope; Author: Autumn Stringam; Review: An insightful and true story of what it is like to live with bipolar disorder, whether as the victim or as a family member. If more people educated themselves concerning mental illnesses, the mentally ill might finally have a voice and receive the help that they deserve. I hope and pray that the medical profession and our governmental health agencies will read this book, take it seriously, and do studies in alternative methods of treatment through supplements to heal or help those suffering from mental illnesses. A book well worth reading and sharing!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Lady and the Mountain Doctor (Mountain Dreams Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Misty M. Beller Page; Review: I have enjoyed the first two books in this series and look forward to reading the 3rd book. It is such a treat to read a story that has no filthy language and has characters who are not perfect but try to love others as Christ would love them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Rocky Mountain Romance (Wyoming Mountain Tales) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Misty M. Beller Page; Review: Loved this book and had trouble putting it down to get anything else done. I love the way Misty Beller writes! She is able to make you feel the way each character feels. You can see that she has researched not only the area she writes about, but also the medicines, herbs, and cooking styles of the period. Well worth reading!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Sweetwater River Romance (Wyoming Mountain Tales) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Misty M. Beller Page; Review: I have enjoyed every book in this series so far. Did not want to put the book down. It is full of action, adventure, romance, and God's love. I love the historic touches Misty adds to her stories, too. I have learned much in her books about medical remedies of the time period, as well as information about the handling of horse.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Rancher Takes a Cook; Author: Visit Amazon's Misty M. Beller Page; Review: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Lots of history mixed in with romance, horse knowledge, and God's sovereignty. A pleasure to read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fifteen Minutes: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Karen Kingsbury Page; Review: Karen Kingsbury's books always grip you from beginning to end. This one is no exception. I love the reality and truth she weaves into every book. Another book well worth reading!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Log Cabin Christmas Collection; Author: Visit Amazon's Margaret Brownley Page; Review: Most of these stories were excellent, reminding us of the main reason for Christmas and throwing in a sweet romance as well. These stories are hard to put down once you start one of them. I loved the historical backgrounds to them, as well as the tender love stories woven in. Worth reading!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sisters of Mercy Flats; Author: Visit Amazon's Lori Copeland Page; Review: The book holds your attention and makes you want to see what happens next. Set during the Civil War, it gives you a glimpse of what life was like for the soldiers. Romance and comedy also mix into the story as you wait to see what will happen next.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Amelia and the Captain (Sisters of Mercy Flats); Author: Visit Amazon's Lori Copeland Page; Review: This book is the final book in the trilogy, and I found it entertaining and enjoyable. You will enjoy it more if you have read books 1 & 2 first. Each book in the series tells the adventures of a different sister. The end of book 3 weaves all 3 books together for a final ending of the 3 sisters..; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: My Heart Stood Still (Sisters of Mercy Flats); Author: Visit Amazon's Lori Copeland Page; Review: This book keeps you entertained and gives you some laughs,but at times it was just too unbelievable to believe. The theology was not real clear at times, either.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Pelican Bride: A Novel (Gulf Coast Chronicles) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Elizabeth White Page; Review: This book is difficult to read or adjust to at first because of combining English with so many French words and terms, but if you stick with it, the story will draw you in. Beth does a good job of helping you understand the historical background the story is set in, & you see how difficult life must have been for the brave women who were willing to settle in this "New World." This book would make a great movie because it is not only a window into America's early history, but a story full of adventure, betrayal, romance, and faith. Worth the read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Spice Bride (The Emberton Brothers) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Karen Aminadra Page; Review: The first book in this series will make you feel you have gone back to a time in history when wealthy women had little say in whom they married and in how they were sometimes treated. The author has researched the period well and helps the reader understand what life was like at this time in history. Finding love was not impossible, however.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Promise to Believe In; Author: Visit Amazon's Tracie Peterson Page; Review: I did not want to put this book down. Not only was the book full of romance, action, and some mystery, but more importantly, it handled topics such as grief, pride, hurt, love, and evil from a Christian perspective. Well worth the read! I look forward to reading,the 2nd book in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Bachelor's Bargain (Miss Pickworth Series #2); Author: Visit Amazon's Catherine Palmer Page; Review: This is the 2nd book in the Miss Pickworth series. I enjoyed both books, but the first book bogged down some in the middle. This 2nd book was more fun to read. Both books make the reader aware of the class levels in England that could destroy families and make life unbearable for the poor and lower classes. I have loved Jane Austin`s works, and these books are reminiscent of them.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Marrying Miss Marshal (Love Inspired Historical); Author: Visit Amazon's Lacy Williams Page; Review: This was a good read, but I wish there had been more depth concerning the spiritual side of it. I would like to have seen the female Marshall (who believed in God) do more to help her new deputy know about God. The story just leaves you hanging, wondering if the deputy/ future husband ever finds Jesus. Nothing is mentioned about being unequally yoked with an unbeliever, either.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Preacher Man; Author: Visit Amazon's Laurie Larsen Page; Review: A good story, although I always feel like the author's stories end too quickly with not enough time occurring for the characters to reach a happy, realistic ending. In spite of that, I enjoyed this book. I grew up in the ministry. My dad was a minister of music in the church, so this story caught my attention. Wasn't wild about the youth pastor driving a motorcycle. How does a pastor with youth take some of them with him to places on a motorcycle? My dad always carried a group of church teens in our car or rented a bus or used a church bus if the group was large. Plus, I agree with Reagan in the book - motorcycles are not safe. A church friend of mine was killed on one. I enjoy Laurie Larsen's writing, though. It is easy to get into her stories, and this was a good one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Texas Roads; Author: Visit Amazon's Cathy Bryant Page; Review: I enjoyed this book very much. Didn't want to put the book down. I loved the characters and the way the author demonstrated God's love and forgiveness through the characters. Worth the read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Path Less Traveled; Author: Visit Amazon's Cathy Bryant Page; Review: Cathy Bryant writes well, and I enjoyed the story in this book,but the main female character, Trish, about drove me nuts with her fickle thinking and constant doubts and mistrust of Andy. I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt since she was grieving. Grief can certainly make a person say and do things they would not normally do. I just felt like the story bogged down a little with her constant, confused behavior and over-thinking of everything. I caught myself wanting to tell her to wake up and trust God's Word. I loved the little boy in the story, and the author did a wonderful job of showing how a 5 yr old boy would behave and think after the trauma he had been through. As a former kindergarten teacher, I thought the behavior and words were right on target.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Way of Grace (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Cathy Bryant Page; Review: I enjoyed this 3rd book in the Miller's Creek Series. It is a good story of grace, mercy, forgiveness, and justice. It also has a great mystery story wrapped in the telling, as well as a Godly Romance.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pilgrimage of Promise (A Miller's Creek Novel) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Cathy Bryant Page; Review: This book in the Miller's Creek Series was heart wrenching at times, but also touching and spiritually healing. I found it difficult to read at times because it revealed the sadness we all endure in life, but it also showed God's faithfulness, even at times when it wasn't clear why God allowed certain things to happen. But that is typical of life . Sometimes we just have to have faith and trust God in times of heartache and troubles. He is faithful. Keep a tissue handy near the end of the book. It's tear-jerker, but also a blessing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Bridge Unbroken (A Miller's Creek Novel) (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Cathy Bryant Page; Review: One of the best books (other than the Bible itself) on forgiveness that I have read in years. Cathy Bryant gets right to the heart of the matter, making you feel the depths of Dakota's and Chase's hurt, despair, and fears. Then she reveals the only bridge to freedom from those feelings. Full of mystery, suspense, and hope, the story will keep you turning the pages til the end..; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: CROSSROADS-Christian Contemporary Romance (A Miller's Creek Novel) (Volume 6); Author: Visit Amazon's Cathy Bryant Page; Review: This is the 6th book in the Miller's Creek Series. It is full of real-life struggles that only a loving God can heal. A great book in helping us see the need for studying God's Word to make yourself ready to give an account for what you believe. This is a very touching book, dealing with a child's cancer and a mother's struggles with understanding the reality of a loving God who would allow her only child to struggle with cancer. It is also a love story between a believing man and a doubting, hurting, woman, as well as a love story between a loving God and His children.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Life Insurance.: How the Wealthy Use Life Insurance as a Tax-Free Personal Bank to Supercharge Their Savings; Author: Visit Amazon's Jake Thompson Page; Review: If you have been looking for a book to spell out in simple language how the rich get richer, this is the book for you. Borrowing from the outstanding concepts found in "be your own banker" by Nelson Nash, this book keeps it simple and gets you started on centuries old concept of saving but also having access to your funds unlike all the government programs (IRA, 401k, etc.). Buy this book, it's a no brainer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Holiday Inn Great Falls; City: Great Falls Montana; Review: I felt the Holiday Inn was a very nice hotel. The lobby is very spacious with a beautiful waterfall. The room was very clean when we checked in. The only complaint I have is that the bathroom in our room was very small. The restaurant served very good food. The room was $109. I would consider staying here again but I would ask for a better rate.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sleep Inn Minot; City: Minot North Dakota; Review: Stayed here for a couple nights for a family getaway. I was pleased with the hotel. the front desk staff was friendly, and our room was fairly clean. The waterpark was very enjoyable. The seams on the yellow waterside were kind of sharp though. I would stay here again. I felt the free breakfast was better than when I was there in 2010. The television channel selection was poor which made the nights a little long.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Elkhorn Resort Spa Conference Centre; City: Wasagaming Manitoba; Review: My family spent a week in a chalet at Elkhorn Resort. The chalet was very clean when we checked in and everything we needed was supplied. My kids loved the pool area. It is a great pool with two awesome hot tubs. I was very pleased with the low level of humidity in the pool area especially on such hot, humid days. We didn't go to watch TV but it's nice to watch a little TV after a day of activities. The reception on the TV wasn't all that clear and the choice of channels was very poor. But overall, it was a great week and we look forward to frequenting this resort in the future.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Calgary Airport; City: Calgary Alberta; Review: My family spent 3 nights at this hotel. The location was excellent for getting to the zoo and Telus Sparks. The hotel was very clean and quiet at night. I was impressed with the portions served at the restaurant. The staff throughout the hotel was extremely friendly. The only problem I had was I had a hard time getting into my room with the key as I had to try many times before it would unlock the door. A minor inconvenience but overall an enjoyable stay, and I would definitely consider staying here again if I am in Calgary.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sandman Hotel Suites Calgary West; City: Calgary Alberta; Review: Stayed here for a night before heading to Banff. A very modern hotel with a pool and nice hot tub. The beds were very comfortable and it was very quiet at night. The only problem we had was that the air conditioner wasn't working properly, but that was a minor inconvenience. I would consider staying here again if I needed a room in the western end of the city.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Coghlan's Folding Camp Shovel, 23-Inches; Brand: Coghlan's; Review: This was just what I needed for an emergency shovel for the car, I use it or would use were I to get stuck in the snow, I used to keep a full sized shovel in the trunk but in a Camaro that is half your trunk space :) I am not sure if it was intented or not, but you can lock the shovel head straight as they show for conventional shoveling, or you can lock at a right angle to the handle making it it more like a hoe, and perfect for pulling snow away from the tire all the way around. I did note what looks like a weak spot, the shovel head is attached to the handle with a single rivit, I expect that may break so I have a bolt, sized to fit the hole tossed in the pouch I got for it, if it breaks I'll just drop the bolt in to replace it. I also noted that when you lock in the shovel head the handle end that connects to the shovel is not always centered, this does not change how it works but may make it break easier, so when tightening I just make sure it is centered on the rivet and then give it a final twist. I really thought I was going to have to shell out a lot more for something like this, but looks like 14 bucks got the job done.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: uxcell 100 Pcs 20mm x 20mm x 4mm Self Adhesive Cable Tie Mount Base Holders Black; Brand: uxcell; Review: I just put in a home theater system and needed these to dress the cables (make them neat) and put them out of sight, these did the trick perfectly, I just stuck them where needed then ran black zip ties through them. I took it down 1 star for what royal pain the thin plastic that protects the sticky side are to remove, there is no cut corner or anything to get a purchase on it to pull it off. I finally found a trick, using a box cutter blade I would pierce just a tad with the razor at the corner and then "flip" it up quickly and that would lift it in a try or two. Would be nice if these came with black foam, the white makes them jump out so I used a black magic marker on the edges before sticking them onto something. (no points off but it would be nice) The foam tape on the back of these is wickedly sticky and hold a lot without peeling off, at the biggest point I these hold a bundle holding 6 HDMI, 2 RGB Component, 2 TOSLINK Optical, Coax Cable, and Sub-woofer cable spaced 6" apart on wood and they are holding great, and another with 8 power cords also routed mostly on wood and a few on metal.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Giro Indicator Sport Helmet (Blue/Black Livestrong); Brand: ; Review: This helmet is one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever worn on my head, think of rock hard Styrofoam like would be used in packing a double-door refrigerator stiff. Wearing it felt like it was trying to give me a head injury by a 1,000 little dents. I would rather wear Phil Dumphy's head massager than this thing.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Sunlite Cloud-9 Bicycle Suspension Cruiser Saddle, Cruiser Gel, Tri-color Black; Brand: Cloud-9; Review: If like me you ride for some exercise and to relax then this is a great seat, especially for guys or as I might say for the boys... This seat is really built well, so solid and yet so comfortable. I ride sitting a lot as I am not so much after top speed as I am a nice ride and the racing seat is very uncomfortable to sit on for very long. This also has beefy springs with enough range of movement to take the bite out of most bumps. They used heavy steel and steel bolts to mount on the bike so it is real secure and you can really crank down with a wrench and not have to worry about anything breaking.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: 1 X Black Plastic 50X 5mm LED Holder Car Boat Display Panel; Brand: Esky Mall; Review: You want to add that store bought look to your mounted LED's these are just the thing. They hold the LED well enough that there is no need for hot gluing them in, and the cover the edges of the drill hole so no need to touch-up the paint after you drill.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Conquer Pro Indoor Bike Trainer Exercise Machine 5 Speed Variable Magnetic Resistance; Brand: Conquer; Review: I hope I am missing something but I think this is going back, sigh. My mountain does not have a rear wheel quick release and to mound the bike to their frame they want you to remove your existing quick release and replace it with theirs, which leaves me stuck. So I thought, ok, I'll just put the little cups over the nuts on the back, no luck, the left nut was fine it fits into the cup, but the right side nut is too big to fit over the nut? I can't believe there was nothing about this issue so sort of hoping I am missing something, the instructions are horrible but thankfully it is not hard to figure out. Be careful to see that the tensioning thumb screw is screwed in the right way through the tensioning block that you screw to the frame, when I "dry" fitted it with no screws I saw that they had the screw in backwards which would lead you to putting on upside down, easy fix, just unscrew it from the block and put it in the other side. Other than that it really looks great and I jury rigged it to hold my bike so I could try it, don't ask, but it seemed safe for a short test without putting any marks on the frame so I can return it. The test ride was pretty good, for me the resistance is perfect for gears 9-16 so I only need one shifter unless I really want a workout, in 24 it is like riding up Lombard in SF. Even with my jury rig it is very solid and stable, the steel used is pretty heavy duty, if not for the wheel not fitting I would have given this a 5.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Sports_and_Outdoors |

Title: Hotel Papa Germano; City: Rome Lazio; Review: I stayed here with 2 other friends and would recomend the place to any budget travellers out there. The staff were very courteous and helpful. The hotel is located within a few minutes walking distance of the main bus/train terminal which makes it very easy to arrive/depart Rome and of course have easy access to all of the sights; there is also free internet which was an added bonus.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sharon House; City: Amalfi Amalfi Coast Province of Salerno Campania; Review: I stayed here in a twin room for my friend and we were both very pleased with the accomodation. It is very clean and is very colourful, the staff are very helpful and every morning a great spread of food was put out for breakfast. The room was spotless and contained a safe, fridge and tv, the shower facilities were top class as well. It is in a easy to find location off the main street and is located right next to a cheap supermarket which we found very useful. All in all I'd recomend this place to anybody; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Flavia; City: Rome Lazio; Review: My girlfriend and I stayed for a few days in May '15. The staff are very courteous, we did not need to ask them for any assistance so cannot comment how helpful they are. The room was very small and basic but had everything we needed as a base. It is in a cheaper area away from all of the main sites but the advantage of this is a short journey to and from the train station (cheap supermarket and good shops) and the restaurants surrounding it are lovely and not as expensive. You are more likely to be sitting with some locals which I always love. The actual street and hotel is very quiet, ideal for a good nights sleep after all of the walking during the day. The walls of the room were very dirty and it wouldn't take much for a quick lick of paint to transform the room, the bed sheets are old but clean, we only had a double plug socket in the room which was hanging off of the wall which isn't ideal obviously. The air-conditioning worked perfectly and was needed during the heat wave we experienced. The breakfast area is lovely, they put a great spread out daily and the staff are very helpful. For the exception of a French family wiping out the hotels supply of croissants to feed their family for a week and then having the audacity to complain to the staff everybody else seemed to enjoy their breakfast. The breakfast area is very clean and has said lick of paint and what a difference it makes compared to the rooms. Important for some: the Wi-Fi actually worked! the signal did drop out quite a bit but overall we had no problem checking our e-mails. Not the best place but not the worst, I would stay here again if their were no better offers out there.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Staybridge Suites Liverpool; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: This is an excellent hotel / apartments in a busy thriving area of Liverpool. I was here on business for 2 weeks and found the kitchen within the room so useful giving me the option to make some dinners. The breakfast provided here is amazing, I had one too many cooked breakfasts but there is a big selection of cereal, toast, pastries, bagels and sauces. The coffee machine is available 24/7 and you can even grab a coffee to go in the plastic cups provided. The hotel also offers evening snacks (humus, dips, etc) and wine / beer / soft drinks - this is a nice touch and helps you get to know people staying there particulary if you are there for a while. I used the gym provided, it is basic but clean and does the job. I didn't use the laundry facilities on site but an excellent addition to be able to do your own laundry if you are there for a while. My actual room was spotless and the Wi-Fi provided in the room was excellent. Highly recommended for business trips and tourists alike.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cowgate Tourist Hostel; City: Edinburgh Scotland; Review: £20 for a key deposit but you cannot check out at 0800 when the office is supposed to open as the staff don't show up.

The rooms are spacious with an ensuite, tea & coffee facilities, tv & DVD player, and fully working Wi-Fi. The whole place is spotless and feels almost like you are in a show home. The breakfast in the morning was superb and filled us up nicely for the day. We can't wait to go back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Royal Sun Hotel; City: Chania Town Chania Prefecture Crete; Review: Myself and my fiance are not long back from a week staying at this beautiful hotel. The view from the restaurant and pool is absolutely phenomenal. The staff throughout our stay were always very friendly and helpful. The shuttle bus service runs every 30mins and is necessary, the hotel is at the top of a very steep hill. The WiFi is spotty at best, but you can check your e-mails. Overall we loved our stay, it is quiet here, the food portions are huge, it is clean. The gym needs a serious clean & fixed - one of the machines is particularly dangerous. I would recommend this hotel for anybody looking for a peaceful holiday.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Parliament Penthouse Budapest B B; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: It is impossible to fault this place. The staff could not be more helpful, the place is spotless and really does feel like a home from home, the breakfast in the morning is fresh and the room was spotless with everything you would ever need for a stay. We were even offered a complimentary umbrella by the staff one day when it was due to rain in the afternoon.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1); Author: Suzanne Collins; Genres: young-adult, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, romance, fiction; Review: ** spoiler alert ** I GAVE IT 4 STARS BUT THEN AFTER I WROTE MY REVIEW I SWITCHED TO 3 WHEN I REALIZED THAT I HAD TOO MANY ISSUES WITH IT TO GIVE A 4... BUT I REALLY DID ENJOY THE BOOK SO 3.5 IT IS. BEWARE MY REVIEW IS PRETTY MUCH OVER FLOWING WITH SPOILERS!!!! This was a super easy and fun read.. I was sucked in from the beginning and finished it in a day. I liked the premise and the experience I had reading it, however I felt that a lot more could have been elaborated on and described more vividly to really paint a picture and put you in another world. I felt like so much of the book was skimmed over and predictable. You know from page one that she's going to win the whole thing and there isn't much conflict within the book to make you second guess it. I also didn't like the many "pff yeah right' moments I had while reading.. For instance, the very last fight, when Katniss has a couple of wide open opportunities to shoot a freaking arrow into Cato's temple but doesn't because 'oh no she's distracted by a dog/person' and 'oh no what about peeta' UMMMMM OK GIRL: (me yelling at my book) 'If you would just stop wasting your arrows on these dumb dogs and kill Cato right away, the dogs will disappear and the games will be over' (til the rules change but she doesn't know that yet). She was so thoughtful and smart until that point and then totally let me down. Also, when the 'feast' occurs and Clove just sits on top of Katniss tracing her face with a blade and practically sitting there having a conversation with her, and then Thresh swoops in and just lets Katniss go.. Ok at that point I was so irritated. I wish that whole scene was just more realistic, like Katniss coming close to death and then escaping it because of her speed or arrow skills or some kind of cunning... The way Collins wrote this part was really anti climactic and had me literally rolling my eyes saying 'ughh really?' .. I also didn't like how freely Katniss was able to just roam around the forest, spearing animals and wandering around. There should have been much more anxiety and looking over her shoulder moments.. Also, it was pretty dumb with the whole intercom thing saying 'the rules have changed' and then 'ops actually no the rules haven't changed, just kidding' and then 'ok ok you win the rules HAVE changed'... It made me feel like Collins was just making up everything as she went along. But like I said, all in all it was a fun book, a quick escape from reality and a cool premise. I just think the details in the book could have been thought out better and elaborated more, to make the whole thing more real, believable, thrilling, etc... I will be interested in how the movie reflects the book and I probably; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Story of Edgar Sawtelle; Author: David Wroblewski; Genres: history, fiction, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, mystery; Review: Pretty amazing with a few slow moving parts up until the last 10 pages when it takes a total nose dive. The ending of this book is total bullshit.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2); Author: Suzanne Collins; Genres: young-adult, romance, mystery, thriller, crime, paranormal, fantasy, fiction; Review: soooo much better than book 1!! Total Cliff hanger though, as soon as I type my last word I will be out buying the 3rd book. OMG what happens next!!!??; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sharp Objects; Author: Gillian Flynn; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: Teetering between 3 and 4 stars.. Really interesting and messed up overall. The beginning for me was slow, and I wasn't super into it until the end. The ending was really good and deserving of the extra star. Considering it was Flynn's first novel, it was impressive.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Girl on the Train; Author: Paula Hawkins; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: ** spoiler alert ** It was good enough to keep me turning pages and finish it in just a couple of sittings, but about half way through I figured out who the killer was. I felt like a lot of the cliff hangers were just too easy to figure out right away and the book was somewhat predictable. I liked the darkness and depth of some of the characters. The last event in the book, when Anna, Rachel and Tom were all together seemed so predictable and unrealistic. Yes I get that it's fiction and not necessarily meant to be realistic but, meh, I dunno... Just didn't thrill me. Liked the fact that Rachel stops drinking at the end. But that again was fairly predictable. All in all was a decent book and a page turner though.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Loving an Adult Child of an Alcoholic; Author: Douglas Bey Jr.; Genres: non-fiction; Review: This book really hit home and helped me understand a little more about myself. So much of what they explained was so accurate and there is a lot of useful information worth the read for not only the significant other of, but the ACOA as well. Quick and easy read, however the writing style wasn't my favorite. I got a little burnt out with the "jack and Jill" storytelling as well. Sift through the stories to get to the meat and potatoes of the book- would definitely recommend.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Woman in Cabin 10; Author: Ruth Ware; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: Fun, short read. The writing could have been better and I couldn't stand the main character. Also I felt most of the ending was predictable. It was a good story though, in a cool setting and had a decent amount of suspense mid-way through.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | goodreads |

Title: Wheatsheaf Hotel; City: Virginia Water Surrey England; Review: Booked a table for 8 to celebrate a family birthday at 5 pm on a Saturday. 20 minutes after the time the table was booked it was still covered in dirty crockery as were many other tables in the place. Waited 20 minutes more to get a drink while we were waiting. It was supposed to be cask ale week but there was only one ale and several beers/lagers were not available because there were no staff to change the casks. Once we tried to place the order many items on the menu were not available, we then asked what was available and ordered accordingly. Half an hour after placing order manageress appeared to say one item was not avaiable. We made the point that we had only ordered from what they had said was available but still amended order. 10 minutes later junior member of staff arrived to say two more items were not available for a further 25 minutes because they needed defrosting. Changed order again, finally served after 2 hours. Food was generally poor and we refused to pay for one dish at all it was grey and watery. One member of party also was unwell following day. Staff complained that they were understaffed due to head office budget restrictions and unexpected good weather meant shortage of items on menu.Manageress hid in kitchen. It was only 5 o'clock on a Saturday and there were still lots of dirty tables when we left.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Levissi Han; City: Kayakoy Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: Looking forward to going to Levissi Han again. Forget the all inclusive euro hotel where you could be anywhere. This is the real Turkey where Ibo and Sheri help you explore the locality and a trip out in the boat complete with swimming at beaches you cannot otherwise get to and with a BBQ on the boat. Ibo knows these waters well and how to get to places away from the mass tourist boats. The poolside meals with food which has been marinated and slowly cooked in the brick outdoor oven is an excellent opportunity to meet others who are staying at Levissi Han and many of the locals too. Now when we go back its meeting old friends both locally and from far afield. This is not a hotel you have your own stone built cottage which Ibo and Sheri have created. its easy to have space and time to yourself or stroll out to the pool and bar to meet others.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Cock Hotel; City: Milton Keynes Buckinghamshire England; Review: Second visit to the Cock Hotel having been there November 2013. Then it had quirky charm. The room was old but with some character, the service, slow but charming and the food good: we ate there for both nights of the stay and the restaurant was full. Now its just old and tired and the management are clearly focussed on servicing big events with little regard for the individual traveller. We were told by the receptionist that there was a wedding party which we now realise was a coded message for expect a lot of noise in your room and don't expect any service or proper food in the restaurant. On the second night there was a 60th Birthday Party;the music went on to 1 o'clock on Sunday morning and then they sang Happy Birthday. When I complained I was told we stopped the music promptly at 1 o'clock in line with hotel policy. Policy also seems to be put those not at the event in rooms nearby where they can hear what they are missing. The room itself was very tired and the bathroom door would not close. Getting drinks before the meal was struggle with a surly barman who has perfected the art of slow motion. The restaurant was almost empty and the food that night was poor with parts of the order missing. Breakfast was likewise sporadic from a waitress who complained of blisters on her feet but still slipped out to the shop on the high street to buy the porridge which we ordered. The "full english" was small and overcooked on the first day and took about half an hour to arrive on the second. We did not eat in on the second night but went to an excellent Thai restaurant recommended by one of the staff.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hilden Lodge; City: Charlton Kings Cheltenham Cotswolds England; Review: Firstly this is a Guest House with 12 rooms rather than a hotel. It has cramped parking for 7/8 cars maximum. It has small rooms with very cramped ensuites, you need to step out to get dry: on the plus side you can clean your teeth whilst sat on the loo!. It has cramped wardrobes, the one in our room was roughly 18 inches wide and immediately behind the door as you entered the room. It has a cramped dinning area. We were asked to go down to breakfast on Sunday towards the later part of the serving period, which were very happy to do but on doing so had to sit at a dirty table for ten minutes or so before it was cleared and then it was another ten minutes before we got to order. The much vaunted fresh fruit was largely gone as was the coffee. The full English breakfast and the porridge when they finally arrived were very good. Oddly the following day when the dinning room was less busy and the stand in manager was on duty the porridge was watery and the full English, less good. The bulb in the bedside lamp blew with a bang when switched on upon arrival . The replacement one did not work in the lamp, but did work in the other lamp which meant the fuse had gone which I reported Saturday evening but it remained unfixed when we left Monday morning. On Monday morning the Wifi which had been working was not. As we checked drawers before leaving on Monday we found someone else's baby lotion and towel. We were sympathetic to the fact that Sally and David were working hard but that the place was under resourced to deliver even an average level of service and certainly not excellent service so as a guest you are left to make the best of it and stop pointing out the things that are not right.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Red Lion Inn; City: Cricklade Swindon Wiltshire England; Review: Stopped off here on the way to Cheltenham for lunch. We had booked which was just as well for it was very busy, but our table was ready and waiting. The barmaid was a little brusque but there was an excellent range of real ales and we had two different but excellent steak burgers followed by excellent coffee. Would very happily go there again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Britten House; City: Lowestoft Suffolk East Anglia England; Review: A local hotel had overbooked and offered members of our family this as an alternative. In fact the place and owners have more character and charm than the original booking and I would stay here by choice next time; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Hotel Victoria; City: Lowestoft Suffolk East Anglia England; Review: Booked 5 rooms at this hotel, 4 via booking.com and 1 later directly with the hotel. The story is long but worth reading. When I called to make the direct booking, the hotel receptionist confirmed that the booking.com booking had been received and gave us the additional room on the same floor as the rest. Interestingly identical rooms booked on booking.com were £10 cheaper than booking directly with the hotel. All bookings were originally for two nights but 4 of the 5 were reduced to one night. All bookings and amendments were confirmed by email, one booking reference for the 4 rooms from b.com and one for the hotel direct. When we arrived for the first night of the two night booking in a seafront double, the only booking which had not been altered, we were told that the booking did not exist. When I gave the booking number we were told that the booking was for a single room for two nights, however an ordinary double was available. We accepted that on the grounds that the rest of the booking for other members of the family arriving the following day was valid and I had shown the receptionist the complete booking confirmation for 4 rooms sent by booking.com. Once we had settled in and I had emailed the booking to the hotel reception I went to check that we did indeed have enough rooms. The hotel manager said that the receptionist was checking with a colleague and would get back to me. One and a half hours after we arrived we were told that there were no more rooms but that the hotel had found B&B accommodation down the road and would provide free breakfast for the 4 members of the party who would need to stay there. At this late stage we had little choice but to accept. The hotel blamed booking.com and said they had never received the email, but when booking the additional room the receptionist had confirmed the booking and they had the booking.com booking reference. They later changed the story to say booking.com made the bookings directly on their system. Booking .com blamed the hotel for over booking and not understanding the booking system. There were lots of emails and phone calls but the crux is captured in the emails below. Note the b.com email: Thank you for choosing Booking.com. We apologise for Hotel Victoria being unable to honour your reservation. If you have incurred any additional costs due to this overbooking situation, please reply to us with a copy of your receipts, and we will assist you in any way possible. Again we apologise again for the inconvenience and disappointment that was caused. Note the Hotel Victoria email; Thank you for sending over the email from booking.com which I see says they apologise for us not being able to honour the booking, this just shows them apologising for any inconvenience in their mistake and us not being able to honour the reservation which was made through them not directly with us? As explained on check-in; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Waddington Arms; City: Clitheroe Lancashire England; Review: Stayed here for two nights and dined in one night. The quality and quantity of the food was excellent and accompanied by a good choice of beers and wines. Breakfasts were freshly prepared and good quality. All staff were friendly helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Room wise you need to think of this as a pub with a few rooms which are pleasant but done on a budget. The room we had was up in the eaves with skylight windows but no view out. There is low water pressure so you have to go through a strange ritual to get the shower going it worked on day one and not at all on day two when there was some form of electrical fault and no sockets in the room were working at all. The hotel is also left alarmed but unattended over night, guests have access and an escape room but will trigger the alarms if they enter the main bar area as someone did on our first night. The wifi like the electrics was also a little transient; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Balincourt; City: Bournemouth Dorset England; Review: Spent two nights here in what seemed to be a recently refurbished room which spacious and comfortable but was on the ground floor where the only view was of a fence about a meter away from the window. There was quite a bit of noise from the room above too where you could hear the bathroom fan and the floor creaking. With a better view and less noise would have rated this room as very good Breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Leander Club; City: Henley on Thames Oxfordshire England; Review: Stayed here overnight at a recent Charity event. The room was very good as was the meal the night before and breakfast the following morning. Bar staff the night before were scarce however with no one behind the bar at all at times and the one member of staff who did appear was surly and slow to serve.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Dorking; City: Dorking Surrey England; Review: Travelodge offer a basic no frills package at a price. The bed was clean and comfy.The room was quiet and I slept well and the shower was good. All the basics by which I judge a room were well covered.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Beetle Wedge Boathouse; City: Moulsford on Thames Oxfordshire England; Review: Went here following a boat trip. The location is not easy to find but well worth the effort and the location on the river is excellent. The bar has great atmosphere and the old beams contrast with the more modern dinning area with another great view of the river. The menu was interesting without being pretentious and the choices we made were delicious. Cote de boeuf, cod and mushroom risotto.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Crown Promenade Melbourne; City: Melbourne Victoria; Review: Stayed here for two nights on first arrival in Melbourne. The hotel is well located for central Melbourne and the had a superb view over the city and river. It is linked by footbridge to the Crown Towers and Casino Complex and is the quieter of the two hotels and all the better for it. Pool and spa is large and well appointed. Service excellent.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Royal Oak Hotel; City: Helmsley North Yorkshire England; Review: This is what a good hostelry should be. Excellent friendly service and quality but basic menu. Seven of us stayed here for a second time. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the breakfasts are freshly cooked to order from local and quality ingredients. The bar is well supported locally and the menu is good pub grub.The hotel is on the picturesque market square with free on street parking to the rear.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Howarth House; City: Lytham St Anne s Lancashire England; Review: Sue the owner runs a very good and cosy operation and and enjoys looking after and interacting with her clients. Breakfasts were good, freshly prepared and there was no rush to move you on. The rooms were well decorated and appointed but somewhat small. We had an additional children's room with bunk beds which gave some additional space but there were no chairs or table/desk for laptops; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quest Frankston on the Bay; City: Frankston Mornington Peninsula Victoria; Review: Stayed here for 4 days whilst visiting family close by. The apartment was well apointed and reularly serviced. It had secure and convenient parking in the basement and was close to the both the centre of Frankston and the shore.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Colwick Hall Hotel; City: Nottingham Nottinghamshire England; Review: We used a gift voucher here for afternoon tea. The setting alongside the racecourse is great despite the current road works and you can watch the horses going to and from the stables. The hotel itself has a great feel to it and the atmosphere in the Byron Brasserie was nicely relaxed. The cocktail we had was great and it would have been very easy to have another. The afternoon tea included a small soup, sandwiches scones and cake which we barely managed to finish because of the quantity, the quality was good as was the friendly service.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Bristol Hotel; City: Gurugram Gurgaon Gurgaon District Haryana; Review: Check in was laborious and the reception is curiously on the fourth floor. Lots of coach parties with buffet style meals which probably sets the tone. Breakfast can be frantic with insufficient space when coach loads hit it all at once. Late night building was going on with only a light plywood screen between one side of the corridor with rooms occupied on the other this meant the rooms where covered with an additional layer of dust above the normal pollution for Delhi..; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Desert N Dunes Mandawa; City: Mandawa Jhunjhunu District Rajasthan; Review: Could be so much nicer but the hotel is tired and has seen better days and the manager/receptionist is somewhat lacking in the art of customer service. The electrical wiring was interesting in that some lights could only be switched off if all the lights were off and cracks in the body of bath were "fixed" with silicon sealant. Everything was very much take it or leave it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Doubletree by Hilton London Kingston Upon Thames; City: Kingston upon Thames Greater London ; Review: Kingston is not my favourite place to drive to and has an horrendous one way system and getting to the Double Hilton by car is tortuous. Whilst the hotel is close to the town centre by foot you have to duck and weave to get to the hotel itself by car. A public carpark is close by but is closed overnight from 11pm to 7 pm. Street parking is limited to two hours during the day and unlimited from 10.30 pm to 8.00am or so if you arrive later than 11pm or may need your cat overnight you may need to plan. The hotel has no special arrangements with the car park which is not cheap. The hotel itself is modern and well appointed if a little soul less. The staff are helpful and friendly but someone brittle about the car parking. The lunch/dinner menu is a little limited but food was cooked fresh and well presented, breakfast is buffet style with plenty of choice. The hotel is close to the railway so the trains are quite audible from the rooms. The beds were comfy and the showers excellent.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Dunster Castle Hotel; City: Dunster Exmoor National Park England; Review: On holiday in the area we met local friends here for a leisurely Sunday lunch. Although we were not in a hurry as such one friend needed to eat. The one starter ordered arrived after half an hour, mains had not arrived 1 hour 15 minutes, whilst those who came in after us were already on sweets, which is when I complained.We had all ordered one of the standard Sunday lunches. The chef then arrived to apologise and explained that he was on his own and was cooking in batches and the one starter put our table in a later batch. Free sweets were offered and accepted. The food when it arrived was fine, an earlier explanation and something to nibble on for individual needing to eat would have been a better way to handle it, as we were not in a hurry as such. On balance if I was back in the area I would give the service another chance.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Do Yourself a Favor...Forgive: Learn How to Take Control of Your Life Through Forgiveness; Author: Visit Amazon's Joyce Meyer Page; Review: If you really want to live with a Christ consciosness think again about following her as your leader. She makes comments about others that are false & condesending. She gives her opinion or belief of what others are like if they don't believe in God. She promotes separation more than unity & that is not what Jesus would do. I did like the story she told about her Aunt in the nursing home. She showed how one can get angry & move through it to a positive resolution. Most of the book is actually dis-empowering & the first review sounds like a sales ad for the book & it not at all accurate. She mentioned she was gossiping while angry at her Aunt. My friends wouldn't allow that. They would let me speak but make sure I was doing it to reach a higher level. Anger has a point to it. It is to show us something we need to change. I don't know if she ever mentioned this. She tells about God's anger then tells about his love. Which is he? I choice a loving God not a bi-polar God. She tells a lot about her past which is fine with me if she is going to do it in a way that inspires. All she is doing it bringing the old, negative energy back up to the present. That is not healthy. We can find something positive somewhere in this and I am sure she makes sure of that. It is not worth all the negativity here though. You know you have forgiven when you don't keep telling those old stories anymore. She mentions the Jews killed Jesus. I don't know or care about that but I know the Jews have been targeted from that story. Remember the holocaust Joyce? She is filed with blame, gossip & is just not wise except for making herself rich. She talks about life as if it is going to end. I believe we never die. In getting to the root of anger she really leaves people afraid to get to the root of it. My way of getting to the root is a pray that includes knowing God's grace is clearly revealing to me the root of any anger in a joyful, peaceful, positive way. She really don't do anything in this book to help anyone. Everything about her is to brainwash people in believing in a book rather than their inner guidance. Anger is like an idiot light on the dash board showing us that something we are thinking needs attention. All emotions are like this. There are much better things that this book if you really want to heal angery. one reader said the end was bad. I don't know if I will even read the end cause so far this has been a waste of time & not helpful at all. Better books on forgiveness are "Change Your Mind, Change Your Life" by Gerald Jampolsky and Radical Forgiveness by Colin Tipping. Abraham-hicks has a great CD The Astonishing Power of; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Radical Forgiveness : Making Room For The Miracle; Author: Colin Tipping; Review: I am laughing at my title cause I am thinking that it doesn't matter. This is just another example to me of how my view on everything has changed after reading this book. I actually didn't know I had anything to forgive when I first read it. My husband went to work for a couple we both know from the religious science center we attended. They gave him the book & tapes for me. I appreciated them doing this but hurried through the tapes so he could bring them back to them. Life has not been the same. I have experienced some things in my life where I was just stuck. People would say I needed to work on forgiveness. So I knew about Radical Forgiveness but wasn't doing much. I would recommend it as the best forgiveness book available. I am so glad that I have now come back to give it another read & this time I can take my time. If you have not read this do this for yourself. It is like nothing else. It changes how you view everything that happens. No more victimhood. Empowerment instead. It helps you see that we are all one & everything really is co-operating with each other.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Living in Favor, Abundance and Joy; Author: Visit Amazon's Joel Osteen Page; Review: I was searching for something for many years & I was a big fan of Joel's. I like the innocent, optimistic energy he has. I stayed stuck for many years & have finanlly started to move forward & so I listened again to his CD. His message is one I have outgrown. I don't look outside of myself for anything to be responsible for my thinking so there is no Satan anymore. There is my thinking. If I am not thinking in a way that right then I change it. He says God has a plan for us but I have been taught that as I take responsiblity & live my best life for me, others also benefit. To do it for anyone outside of me is going to lead to a disappoint & me being a co-dependent. I don't want to live my life thinking it is for anyone else. He's a great cheerleader but again we must live our life for ourself & not depend on others to cheer us on. They just might not be there so we have to be our own cheerleader & know the source of good is always with us, within. He says God knew we would have problems. We really create our own problems because we believe it is a way to become better, stronger, more focused in some way that strengthens us. So problems can be good & learning from them can be great. Letting go of the old to make space for the new is something we learn through everything we do. We can use a garden analogy for that. We must weed out what is not of value to have the benefits. I used to listen to this kind of stuff hoping it would stick but I only felt good because I was pretending to feel good. It's really a bi-polar message. We are told to let go but we keep going back to the negative story. He tells the devil decieves us rather that us focusing on the intelligence we have within that gives us a choice to be decieved or to think at a higher level. He tells us to be aggressive which again is a bi-polar message. Should we trust or control. There are many unhealthy messages we can get from following this path. There are ways to really live our life in the fresh, new, intelligent, present moment. Instead of this book I would recommend: Unconditional Forgiveness by Mary Hayes Grieco and Personal Power through Awareness by Sanaya Roman. The books I mentioned have helped me move foward rather than being stuck in circular thinking.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: How Not to Act Old: 185 Ways to Pass for Phat, Sick, Dope,; Author: Visit Amazon's Pamela Redmond Satran Page; Review: This is a great birthday gift. It is a gag but yet it really does teach us all so much. My husband is the one who holds up the line while he counts out the change. I read that one to him. I was upset because a young person stopped answering his messages. It is so nice to see that these kinds of problems are universal. I look forward to more from this author. Anyone who didn't like this book was probably insulted by what was said on #161 but I live in an area where the over 60 people are so old & I often go to another area to work where the same age people are bright and wise and they not only love paying me for the work I do they tip well. So there is a huge difference in the mindset and how it manifests in aging.

Title: Heal Your Body; Author: Louise Hay; Review: What I specifically like about this book besides the size making it easy to carry in my purse & it being easy for a new person to read it quickly is that the chiropractic chart in the back is amazingly helpful. I have healed things without going to a doctor, that most would think would be impossible to heal. Of course, many would think a lot of the things in Hays' books are impossible to heal but to have your bones go back into alignment is probably harder to believe than getting rid of a headache for example. My life has changed due to reading Louise Hays books & I know many others who have had the same experience. This is the first book I recommend to someone who is ready for this path.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Creative Visualization Workbook: Second Edition (Gawain, Shakti); Author: Visit Amazon's Shakti Gawain Page; Review: I used this book many years ago & just decided it could help me again so I am back for that. Years ago my husband & I spend 2 years house hunting. We really needed to move but everytime we found something we would call & the house was sold or something else happened to stop us. One day I told my husband to join me & I would list everything & we would just let it go. So we wanted a house we could afford. Well, I went into all these details & included a built in pool & every single thing we stated we got. We love this house. Our neighbors had to move a few years ago & someone came to look at their house. This person came to my house to ask about the neighborhood. We told him if we came into a huge winfall we would still choose to live here over anywhere else in the world. My neighbor later yelled over "you sold my house". I should have visualized my commission check. I did get really great neighbors though. Oh actually, this reminded me of another story. When my neighbors told me the were moving I was looking at in my back yard one day. I was regretting that my husband had torn down shrubbery that gave us privacy cause I didn't know what the new neighbors would be like. So instead of envisioning something I didn't want I used CV. I thought about what I wanted. I decided I didn't want the upkeep of shrubbery. I thought trees would take too long to grow. I got really clear & decided I wanted a fence but a big privacy fence. I didn't want to pay for it, shop for it or or have to do any work related to it. After my new neighbors moved in I was in my car one day & my neighbor called. He asked if he could chop this small tree down cause he was having a fence put in & it was on the line. He was so kind about it so I saw that my vision for great neigbhors had worked & I do love these people. He ended up putting up a big privacy fence cause they have a couple of dogs. Gosh, I could write one story after another on how this book helped me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Whose Body? (Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries); Author: Visit Amazon's Dorothy L. Sayers Page; Review: One of Sayers' best. As usual, interesting cast of characters well developed. Humour along with exacting detail makes it a joy to read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fuzzy Sapiens; Author: Visit Amazon's H. Beam Piper Page; Review: Reading these old sci-fiction books is a kind of archaeological dig. Most deal with speculation on technology of the future but they also give you interesting insights into the attitudes towards things the of such as human rights and the role of women in society - a lot of which is not specifically stated but is just taken for granted. I'm pretty old and can remember a lot of the bigotry so endemic in American society in the fifties and sixties. Technology has made tremendous strides in the last 60 years or so, many of which were hardly imagined by even the most imaginative of the early writers. Much of the "future" technology seems old fashioned to us today. But the improvement in American society in ethical treatment of our fellow creatures seems most amazing to me. I have lived in both worlds and I much prefer this one.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Mycenaeans: The History and Culture of Ancient Greece's First Advanced Civilization; Author: Visit Amazon's Charles River Editors Page; Review: This thing reads like Cliff Notes.

The scent is lasting and they have are so cute when they use this pillow shaped toy. I have one cat that just lays her head on it and goes to sleep after playing with it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Simple Solution Pet Stain & Odor Remover, 32 oz; Brand: Simple Solution; Review: This product should be rated 10 stars! Upon taking in some rescued cats, two of my other ones have decided they need to mark and spray. Never having had this problem before, I tried "Simple Solution" and is has been wonderful. The stains and odors are gone. My "Cat vs Cat" book had some suggestions and after I use Simple Solution, I spray the areas with Feliway and this has definitely helped cut down the marking.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Pet Products Window Cat Perch, Up to 25-Pound; Brand: Comfort Pet Products; Review: This is the first time I have used a cat perch and my cats love it. It installed neatly and easily and is quite sturdy. Often, there are three cats on it bringing the weight to over 30 pounds. I now have three perches and I think they are the greatest. The fact this was made in the USA is a real plus.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fizzion Pet Stain & Odor Remover Refill Tablets (8 TABLETS); Brand: Fizzion; Review: I currently have nine inside cats. I rescue and foster some who are here for a short time, and some are mine. This often leads to jealousy which causes some marking and spraying and of course there are the usual "accidents". I have used several other products, but NONE have come up to Fizzion. It has removed even old stains and it does not leave an odor left by other products. I have some family members who visit and will tell me if there are odors in the house and there are none. I am so glad I tried this and will continue to use it. I find it to be just a little more costly, but it is worth it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cat Mate Pet Fountain - 70 Fluid Oz.; Brand: Ani Mate; Review: I like this product because it is very quiet! My cats like it. However, in the short time I've had the first fountain the transformer quit working. I emailed the company for a replacement but got no reply. I ordered another complete fountain and it wasn't long before the wire going to the motor came apart. I've had a Drinkwell for 7 years and when the motor quit, I was able to get another and it is still working well. I also have a feng shui fountain and it has worked without a problem for several years. Too bad, so sad that as much as I liked this fountain I sure won't buy another.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Adams Plus Flea & Tick Mist with IGR, 32 oz; Brand: Adams; Review: This works very well. Had a horrible outbreak of fleas earlier this year, probably due to outside cats near my screened doors. It has taken several months and a lot of work but Adams was a great help.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Yeowww! Catnip Toy, Yellow Banana; Brand: Yeowww!; Review: My cats smell yeowww through the plastic wrap and shipping box when it comes into the house and start going crazy. They LOVE it.

Title: Yeowww! Catnip Toy, Yellow Banana; Brand: Yeowww!; Review: My cats love "yeowww!" in any shape. They smell it through the box and the plastic wrap and want to take ownership of the box because of the scent. The price o "yeowww" is worth it. I also have the loose "yeoww" and toss it on the floor. They roll and play and get silly. When they are done, it vacuums easily.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Petlinks System Dream Curl Curvy Two-Surface Scratcher; Brand: Petlinks System; Review: I have another curved scratcher where the sisal is on the top of the curve and it is more attractive to the cats.

Title: Elanco Animal Health Cheristin for Cats Topical Flea Treatment and Prevention – 6 Monthly Doses - 33385; Brand: Elanco Animal Health; Review: I had consistently used Advantage on my cats for several years once a month and for a while used it every three weeks as per my vet. I put it on them and I could flea comb them the next day and they still had fleas. I have fogged their areas, cleaned and laundered their beds, etc. and just couldn't get rid of the fleas. One was highly allergic to fleas and I had a lot of skin issues with her and two males were miserable and had licked to much of their coats off. I truly believe the fleas were only on the cats and not on their furniture, etc. One dose of the Cheristin and the fleas were gone. They now look great and are not constantly scratching themselves.

Unhappily, I have a couple of cats that occasionally feel the need to "mark or spray". This product has totally cut the odor which reduces spraying. I have used other products, but this is great and it also reduces and/or eliminates stains. I truly enjoy my cats and I would never think of getting rid of them due to their problem.

Title: REGIROCK 2018 Upgrade Version Barking Control Collar - Rechargeable & Rainproof No Bark Collar Sound, Vibration Static Shock; Brand: REGIROCK; Review: My cats take turns lying on the scratcher lounge and using it as a scratcher.

Title: It Can Happen To You: Series of Short Stories; Author: Visit Amazon's Phette Ogburn Page; Review: So, I just finished "It Can Happen To You" by Phette Ogburn and those 3 stories were great!!! The 1st story Sexts and Messaging told the true down side to non sexual affairs. It also showed that everything you do in the dark comes to the light! The 2nd story The ID threw me so far that I had to love it!!!! The thought of loving someone and losing them without knowing why or how seemed hard. It was awesome to be able to share their love for the period and lastly....Organized Karma. I thought this story was different because I could not pick up on where it was going but it was great. Destinee was a tough character to figure out and Tracey and Latreace remaining friends was great! These stories deal with some things that people deal with everyday but they are taboo!

Pity the restaurant doesn't open lunch times as it use to as that is a massive help to me. I am a paranormal investigator and I travel the country and stay in loads of premier inn's and they are always the same high quality of service. Warwick premier inn is a quiet location on the outskirts of the town. Nice clean and modern building restaurant is lovely and has a good menu choice.

Title: The Queens Hotel; City: St Ives Cornwall England; Review: My husband and I live in Exeter and decided to take full advantage of GWR ticket sale and purchased two return tickets to st ives to make the trip a bit longer we decided to book a hotel and decided on the Queens Hotel. On arrival early we were informed the room would be available after one and was invited to leave our luggage behind the bar. After having a wonderful time exploring the town again and loving the harbour with the sun shining nicely in February we returned and was shown to our room by a lovely lady who fully explained the keys and the WiFi. Our room (2) was compact and was clean and warm I must warn you due to the age of the building the floor does slope a bit. We decided to eat in and my husband chose the prawn cocktail to start and he was over joyed to find it not full of lettuce and nothing else but it was full of prawns. I had the soup which was carrot and honey very delicious and was piping hot. For our main I had the shepherds pie with bake beans which was full of meat and flavour and my husband the sausage and mash which he loved. A desert was too much and we happily retired to bed. We also was happy to find plenty of milk sugar etc more than enough for a cup or two. The building is old and there is no parking but if you can use the train then the walk to the station is about five mins. Thank you to the staff we would highly recommend the queens hotel and we found it through booking.com xx; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Salcombe Harbour Hotel Spa; City: Salcombe Devon England; Review: Was brought a cream tea experience for a Christmas gift. Was a bit surprised to see that the voucher expired on the 9th February. Due to work schedule we found that it was impossible to visit by the expiry date. I rang up reception and was happily to be told that they would kindly extend the date. On arrival (and being a hour early) we were allowed to park our car in the carpark and was able to have a ramble round the town we arrived back for our three thirty slot. And have to say the service was excellent. The cream tea was just right amount for two. Endless supply of tea and the sandwiches and cakes was delicious. Thank you to all it was a excellent afternoon.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Altura Hotel; City: Tsilivi Zakynthos Ionian Islands; Review: We returned on Sunday 17th June after a weeks holiday. The resort is only six kilometres from the airport. On arrival the building looks nice and the first pool was a good size. We were allocated room 210 just to warn you there is a holiday tax of about ten Euro’s. We think this is a new charge from the Greek authority. The rooms are nice and practical. The rooms were cleaned every day you don’t get tea or coffee. The hotel has been through a massive revamp and they also changed the name the new name is Altura. The restaurant is clean with a practical buffet the only problem is by the end of the week the food seems to be the same type. The bar opens at 11am and closes at 11pm. The entertainment staff are excellent and do a great job with limited resources. There is also a new pool up stairs and it’s lovely of you don’t want to be round the busy one down stairs. Due to the bar and entertainment finished by 11pm there are plenty of bars down the road including jokers and a great breakfast place call graces if you have enough of the hotel. They do a excellent English breakfast. In all I would recommend this location. Personally I wouldn’t return as I have ticked this island off my list. But I would recommend the secret of zante trip through Tui and the turtle trip too don’t book down the road as if the trip is cancelled due to bad weather sea wise the won’t refund your money.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The New Gurkha Inn; City: Talgarth Powys Wales; Review: Stayed here Saturday night with a mate to explore the area. Just picked randomly on booking.com and wow I am so glad I did. The twin room was lovely with on suite. Even though we turned up very early they were more than happy to book us in. The food is amazing and the service was excellent. We were surprised that there was few locals in I though having a gem of a place with excellent food would be a boost to the community. I will deffo be returning again. Thank you for a excellent stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Indigo Durham; City: Durham County Durham England; Review: Arrived Tuesday 14th to a wonderful welcome by reception who dealt with our questions etc very professionally. The room (211) was beautiful and the bathroom amazing especially the shower. We loved the iPod left in the room and it helped in finding restaurants etc. The best food was in the restaurant where Ruth was a excellent waitress and her knowledge of wine was outstanding. Beautiful cocktails in the bar served by a lovely lady. Every where we looked we saw happy staff who were so helpful all the time. We sadly left on Friday to continue our trip to York where we stayed in indigo York which we have to say didn’t come up to the standard that Durham did.

Title: Hotel THe Volcan Lanzarote; City: Playa Blanca Lanzarote Canary Islands; Review: This is our second visit to the Volcan and I am writing this from the balcony watching a beutifull sunset. for us the hotel ticks all the boxes for a quiet relaxing time in the sun. the marina is small and lacks some personallity but the hotel is quiet and professionally managed Pools which there are a few are relaxing and not spoiled by noisy children at this time of the year food is above avarage for this type of Holiday hotel and Carmen in the Main Restuarant is a gem if you want to walk out try the Bar Berrugo at teh shopping centre its lively and entertaining even the parrots speak to you. this time we booked direct with the Hotel and booked flights it saved all the hassle of having to meet the Holiday rep selling trips to see Bannana plantaions or a booze cruise This is exactly what we wanted and thanks to all the staff for making our stay so pleasurable; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sofitel London Gatwick Hotel; City: Crawley West Sussex England; Review: We stopped here last week to catch an early flight to Antigua this icluded parking package (that part was excellent) on checking in I gave my name the person explained he couldnt check me in with out a reference number so i had to go find my car get the documentation then get checked in my fealing at that time was they were laughing in Gaelic manner! we ate in the foyer lounge and for 2 mains (fish& chips +a steak onion rings 1 sweet 1 glass of red and a Diet Coke £70+ that is pound not Euros! Room was crisp and clean as you would expect but nothing more For conveinience to the terminal it really works you dont even go outside. My view is that the French staff didnt want to be in UK or the were sent to show the Brits what an arogant race they are.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hare and Hounds Hotel; City: Newbury Berkshire England; Review: I stayed there as I didnt want to use the Hilton. Small main building but surrounded by cottage rooms which were quiet and spotless free wi fi the room I had was adequate for my over night and some work. Table booked for 7 menu was varied with some specials all home cooked and my Fish Pie was great no frills just good food at a good price. All staff were great and were efficient and accomodating. for an overnight its great and good parking more charachter than the HILTON with Humans as staff; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Telford Ironbridge; City: Telford Shropshire England; Review: Whole experience was really bad From trying to check in the receptionist prefered to sort the mail out with the Post man our agency had made an error but the receptionist would not even accept there explanation when they rung to sort out. I was left waiting and waiting finally I was allowed a room gave my credit card and progressed to the room it was cold miserable with very few creature comforts/basic. next issue was dinner I was confronted to say i would have to pay yet i had already left my card. Food was the only thing that was acceptable Breakfast was the next obsttcal .again they claimed Breakfast was not included and it was. Next was the Bill all wrong again nobody would accept that for me the place was very well worn as were the staff they really need to undserstand that customers pay the wages £105 per night never again! Terrible condition terrible service Why?; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Oaklands Hall Hotel; City: Laceby Grimsby Lincolnshire England; Review: we stayed over last night it wasalong dark miserable journey. no problem finding it long drive up tp the illuminated impressive building. The entrance hall lacks some cosy touches room ws well decortaed clean warm and well appointed. Dinner was difficult to understand what you did where you went food and service was good rather tahn exceptional. Breakfast was certainly traditional and touched on old fasshioned but it was fresshly made. lots of Male only guests which tended to add to the austeer feel and where did they all go in the morning! And Wi Fi is free!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Galway Bay Hotel; City: Galway County Galway Western Ireland; Review: We traveled here over night and arrived shattered requested an early entry to our room this we got with courtesy and a generous comment we ate in the Pub again the staff were brilliant with the style and courtesy we expect in Ireland but don't get in the UK Our food had a local theme am the Chowder was great prices were again very good, the Fabric of the Hotel maybe tired bur this is Western Ireland after all the staff and charm out does any shortfall lovely place with stunning views you decide if its old fashioned or traditional ? for me its charming and relaxed!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Millgate House Hotel; City: Newark on Trent Nottinghamshire England; Review: the hotel is located in a back street but had adequate secure parking. the reception is adjacent to the eating area and bar the whole area is clean and tidy Menu looked interesting and boasted that the could provide any food requested if given 48 hours notice! my room I am sure was recently refurbed and was lovely again spotless I had a good nights sleep then an adequate breakfast. the 3 lady staff I met were friendly happy and helpful! Hopefully I wont need to go to Newark again but if the Hotel could be moved I would use it!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express London Victoria; City: London England; Review: we were going on the Orient express leaving from Victoria so our travel company booked us in here it was walking distance from the Station and reasonable restaurant's Georgian façade was not what I imagined from this Brand I personally thought it was expensive but it is London and everything seems expensive there. The interior is small as was our room it was clean and well organised corridors were narrow when we were there it was impossibly hot even with window open. Staff were great the Spanish girl I think her name was Beatrez was particularly helpful Breakfast room was in the basement and particularly depressing. somewhere to stop if you have to go to London.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel THe Volcan Lanzarote; City: Playa Blanca Lanzarote Canary Islands; Review: 6th visit here and what a decline! it has changed hand and Trades with title that is not reflected in the reality of the Hotel We found the place to be dirty! and various safety issues the whole place really needed money spent on it the sun beds are stained worn discoloured we had a door at the end of our corridor open with a staff notice that it had to be closed at all times. We had the pillow covers removed and not replaced despite advising room service nothing was done until the next day then we had the bed cover removed an not replaced. We were half board that was a big mistake first Breakfast was all Queues especially at the griddle no smoked salmon as was the feature in the past everything else was repeated daily but there is a German corner! why when we were in Lanzarote? The evening meal was similarly disappointing Queues at the griddle the fish and meat cuts were small and thin the salad bar was not varied there was another Restaurant Italian I think as well as a pretty ordinary Japanese one Really all the staff were great but they were stressed with the level of staffing being so low they struggled to cope! Overall a big disappointment it needs to be re categorised quickly. Another observation was that Jet 2 And other budget holiday company are offering budget holidays are offering holidays here before it was prestigious holiday companies only; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Wrightington Hotel Health Club; City: Wrightington Lancashire England; Review: I had an overnight here in a Superior room it was adequate with aircon Toilet was spotless and functional rather small good standard of fixtures the whole facility is clinical but a bit impersonal. Reception /entry is a bit cold and uninviting. I was really tired and slept well had a good breakfast albeit it was a bit like a Boarding house feels before leaving to rejoin the M6 2 minutes away. Much better than the usual Premier Lodge type place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The St Regis Mauritius Resort; City: Le Morne; Review: Superb location this nearly new facility offers all you need to have a very special break in Mauritius, its 1 hour 20 minutes from the fabulous new Airport travelling through some really poor villages but when you do arrive after a long flight and an awful slow journey it offers all you could expect. the staff were the most polite helpful we have experienced and I really mean the best! the food in the restaurants we used were exceptional. They ranged from Classical French to Indian- Fusion- Japanese- Bistro bar/restaurant Beach was incredible un crowded beech safe bathing again the Beach boys supply Towels beds cold Drinks and even clean your Sun Glasses all beaches on the island are public so a few hawkers were present as were security staff we were All inclusive which we had to explain we were wen ordering anything it was embossing when the had to check you were entitled a card would have solved that. Buggies were well organised and were never more than a few minutes away. really Impressive Pool in fact its difficult to criticise.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Regency Birmingham; City: Birmingham West Midlands England; Review: i didn't look forward to a conference in January in Birmingham raining cold day with delays on the M6 Speed restrictions etc! Drove into the reception area the concierge help my wife with the bags and explained where the parking was obviously realised I didn't want to be in Birmingham and offered to park the car for me(VIP) we checked in with a charming receptionist she explained everything including that we had a recently refurbed room! The Room was spacious spotless and well presented the fixtures were nice quality Bed was really comfortable ( as I found out) and King size. there was a bridge joining the Hotel to the convention centre so we didn't needs coats etc great!!! Great nights sleep! breakfast was pretty standard Buffet but it was fine on checking out the reception ist different from the one that checked us in was equally charming and helpful. Great experience and I suggest some hotel chains should mystery shop this one!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Laura Ashley Hotel The Belsfield; City: Bowness on Windermere Lake District Cumbria England; Review: This is a lovely friendly and beautiful appointed Hotel staff are great and accommodating The decor is Laura Ashly and recently developed to a very high level. Our Suite was amazing with lots of high tec /coffee /tea in room Great bed modern en suite with an amazing toilet that doubles as a bidet and is centrally heated! We had an amazing view over the lake and gardens and within walking distance of shops lake etc. Fantastic ! Even has parking! Not cheap but good! One niggle was the extra charges on some simple choices why! But the buffet was fine and a good choice! And since the wether in the Lakes is unpredictable the public areas are large comfortable bright and great to unwind in!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Baobab Suites; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: We whilst in the area took advantage of an arranged viewing of the property we thought this modern property was magnificent the facilities are spotless new and impressive various sizes available breakfast is included Sports club located across the road we will try here soon; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vincci Seleccion La Plantacion del Sur; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: We have just returned from a superb 2 weeks at this hotel,we experienced the best service anywhere in world! It is located a 20 minute walk from the beech shops etc but we didn't care as the facilities were excellent loads of space inside and out one of the features was Balenese beds. But the stars of the visit were the superb staff! Food was buffet style with each evening a different theme oriental,Spanish,BBQ etc loads of variety. Place is spotless our room was a bit tired but clean and had a turn down service and chocolate at night wifi was good loads of really nice internal lounge areas. For me (whilst it was difficult to single out individuals ) I want to mention the following exceptional performers Rikki,Suzy,Boufi andFabian a big thanks to everyone for making our break so enjoyable!😎; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hilton York; City: York North Yorkshire England; Review: We went for short break for my birthday in March the hotel is centrally located and great for sightseeing and shopping clean neat and well organised the reception its overheard it was my Birthday and had a present of wine fruit etc left in our room Lovely gesture; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Three Cups Inn; City: Stockbridge Hampshire England; Review: We needed a Hotel before we went on a cruise and this one was recommended by a friend! About 30 minutes from Southamton Docks set in a little village this proved to be ideal. Located on the Main Street with ample free parking to the Rear it is a converted crouching House with lots of Character. We were greeted and sown to our room which was charming with Beams and an uneven floor,the furnishings were in keeping with the theme,in the Bar were lots of locals reading doing crosswords etc and a few dogs, A good selection of Beers on tap our Dinner was lovely as was breakfast which has cooked to order ( nice touch) it rained all the time we were there but to the rear was a lovely sheltered Cardens well presented where you could eat and during your stay in lovely surroundings. Worth a visit; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel THe Volcan Lanzarote; City: Playa Blanca Lanzarote Canary Islands; Review: After several visits the place has not really changed! Tremendous location still need some areas to be reworked as they are a bit tired and a bit worn and need of a 5 star refurb. location is fabulous just a stroll to Cafes shops and places to eat on the Marina!. Restaurant now returned to a single opening time which is much better. Food is good but Breakfast can be a bit of a busy experience. all in all we like the Hotel and keep going back.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Southampton; City: Southampton Hampshire England; Review: We stayed here and parked our car when going on a cruise.Good price but parking was very cramped, The hotel has recently renamed and revitalised it is meet and tidy but the service we got in the bar/lounge was really slow but worse was to happen as we were woken by fire alarm and the hotel was evacuated (fire engines never arrived) but we were assured the incident was over and asked to go back to bed. We did get back to bed but didn't sleep well. Breakfast was chaotic as the servers ran out of supplies we managed to get some food but not everyone did. Staff seemed to be oblivious to what was happening. Pretty poor for this group. Don't think I will be back!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hartford Hall Hotel; City: Hartford Northwich Cheshire England; Review: We live in Hartford and go regularly for a drink and in good weather we can sit out and enjoy. The lovely gardens a great quality out door tables and chairs. We decided to eat from the the lunch menu my wife decided on the Lasgne an I had a French steak sandwich (medium ) with sweet potato fries we both enjoyed what we had service was good and friendly. Drinks selection was really good with; real ales and Guinness on offer and a large selection of lagers which had a huge spectrum of strengths and flavours. For me the place offers great facilities at an affordable able prices and with the weather is at the moment you can sit back and believe you are on Holiday abroad. I think the Name of our server was called Jason? He was cool calm and efficient. Well done to everyone! I am sure our server was Jason who had beard! We will be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Drawing Room; City: Builth Wells Powys Wales; Review: As with another reviewer we were not aware that dining in was a mandatory charge but the food is so good, and the service personal and friendly, that in the event this did not matter. Melanie and Colin were delightful hosts with so much experience, but they do have a defined approach to things. The bedroom was rather small but well equipped but it was the delicious food, even with an a la carte breakfast that beat anything I have encountered before. Dinner was a gourmet affair, with aperitifs in the lovely lounge with an open fire blazing. This area of Wales is full of stunning countryside and scenery so coming back after a day out, even in the rain, it was welcoming and exciting to ponder the evening delights. Not a cheap option for a break but if you enjoy good food and wine, and love the open countryside then the rather tight accommodation is quite acceptable. With only very limited accommodation you can also get to know your fellow guests a little as they will be sharing the experience; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Xoai; City: Can Tho Mekong Delta; Review: The hotel itself is on a busy road so crossing to town can be interesting. We had a larger double room which was a good size and well fitted out - sadly just rather noisy at night due to some plant on a nearby roof. However the staff here are excellent and very well informed and the food tour was great, as was the guide they organised for us on our Mekong floating river trip. They really do make an effort to look after you; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kep Lodge; City: Kep Kep Province; Review: We loved the location and the staff were delightful and friendly. We did have a cheaper lodge which still had its own veranda and hammock. Otherwise the lodge was quite basic, with no hot water. However we were close to where the dogs slept and they did tend to howl and bark quite a lot during the night, and they were a constant presence in the communal area. It goes for a very relaxed, informal approach and it is easy going when you are there - and the pool area is delightful; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Murray Guesthouse; City: Chau Doc An Giang Province; Review: Despite finding ourselves in a room with no external window we found the Murray Guesthouse to be of the highest standard, particularly for a budget priced hotel. The room was very good with an excellent en-suite facility and toiletries, including flannels. Throughout our stay the owners and staff were delightful and helpful, even explaining how the boat trip across the border would work when we moved on. Breakfast was great too and the hotel is very close to the riverfront, so access to town is easy. A good spot before finding yourself in the frantic hub that is Phnom Penh, or perhaps going the other way to Saigon.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: PRASATs Boutique Hotel; City: Phnom Penh; Review: We were very lucky and had an upgrade but anyway the hotel is set in its own little garden, with a lovely little pool, and down what is a quiet street (assuming the Tuk Tuk drivers can find it!) Room and ensuite were well equipped, the staff were very helpful and friendly (particularly the manager), the breakfast was very good too. We did not eat a main meal there as there were some good restaurants writhin easy walking distance. Anything other than this required a Tuk Tuk and we did seem to struggle a little to get them to identify where the hotel was even if we showed them on a map!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Madam Cuc 127; City: Ho Chi Minh City; Review: This was our first stop on a long tour. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the room was large, if a bit old. Fresh towels each day and very clean throughout. You are only a step away from a bustling restaurant and bar area and can walk to many of the 'sites' in town. A good, if limited, breakfast was included and the staff could organise anything for you. We are due to return there at the end of our travels around Vietnam; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Parent Heritage Angkor Villa; City: Siem Reap Siem Reap Province; Review: We had booked somewhere else but it was too far out of town and we did not feel safe there, so our tuk tuk driver took us to the Parent Heritage hotel. We had a good sized, ensuite, room - it was quiet at night - and the hotel had a lovely pool to cool off in after a day's touring the temples. But it was the staff who made this hotel - the staff in reception were absolutely delightful and so helpful. We stayed six nights and enjoyed every one, whether relaxing by the pool, or walking a short distance to the heart of Siem Reap restaurants and bars.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Europa; City: Ridgecrest California; Review: We just stayed one night when travelling between Sequoia to Death Valley. This is not the Hilton but it is clean, the rooms are a good size and the host, who had only been here for a couple of months is so keen to help and to provide any information you need. He even checked that all was Ok after about half an hour of our arrival. For this kind of motel he was trying really hard to make you welcome and comfortable. Much better than we expected; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: BreakFree on Cashel; City: Christchurch Canterbury Region South Island; Review: Great location and hotel - punches above its weight in terms of value for money, food and bar prices. So convenient to the Startup Mall, shops and restaurants - and a bit funky too so more than just run of the mill.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Glendower Bed and Breakfast; City: Torquay English Riviera Devon England; Review: We were made most welcome and allowed to leave our luggage early, which was then taken to our room when it was ready. Bob provided all sorts of information about Torquay before we set off for the day. Our room was light and sunny with excellent tea/coffee and biscuits, and it was very quiet at night even though the hotel was quite busy. Finishing with a wonderful, freshly cooked, breakfast - again welcomed by the family with Bob remembering all our names. Impressive, friendly, clean and a happy place to be; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Justin Boots Women's 12" Stampede Boot; Brand: ; Review: I agree with the other reviewers who found this boot to run a tad large. I toyed with the idea of going a half size smaller, but after paying close attention to what others had said, I opted to stick with my normal shoe size. I cannot stand to have my toes pinched so I figured I could fix a "little big" easier than a "little small". So happy I did! I found that when wearing thick boot socks these boots fit just loose enough to feel great while still fitting snug enough not to allow my heel to slip/slap around. All in all, I am happy with the boots and the little extra toe room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Coolibar UPF 50+ Women's Marina Sun Hat - Sun Protective; Brand: ; Review: But it will not stay on in a breeze.

Title: P28 Foods Formulated High Protein Spread, Apple Crisp, 16 Ounce; Brand: P28 Foods; Review: Love this stuff. I don't eat it alone though. I usually mix it in with no bake protein balls. Highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sherpa Pink Gourmet Himalayan Salt, 1lb Extra-Fine Grain. Incredible Taste. Rich in Nutrients and Minerals To Improve Your; Brand: Sherpa Pink; Review: Love the packaging it came in. I bought this to use with a daily "shot" to help with aging, toxins, etc. Tastes good. I would recommend and I would purchase again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Jack Links Steakhouse Beef Jerky, 3.25-Ounce Bags (Pack of 4); Brand: Jack Links; Review: Sad to say I wasn't a fan of Jack Links Beef Jerky, Sriracha. Country Archer is MUCH better. The beef wasn't very fresh tasting, very tough and chewy and the flavor wasn't all that great. I'm addicted to Country Archer Sriracha. Disappointed for sure in this one.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Brown Sugar Bacon Jerky Candied Bacon; Brand: Bacon Mamma Jamma; Review: This stuff is AMAZING!!!!!!! I ate the whole bag in one sitting. Mind you, there isn't that much in one bag so it was easy to do. It tasted VERY fresh and it had a ton of flavor. I've bought A LOT of different types and brands of jerky and this is my top 2. Very nice packaging and shipping. Definitely buying more. Glad I bought 2 bags on my 1st order.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rip Van Wafels Snack Wafels, Honey and Oats, 1.2oz, 16 Count; Brand: Rip van Wafels; Review: Pretty tasty for what they are. I wanted something for my sweet tooth and this does the trick. Nice, soft, chewy, sweet snack.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Smartfood Delight Popcorn Variety Pack, Less Than 100 Calories Per Bag, 40 Count; Brand: Smartfood; Review: The taste is so so. I guess that is expected for Smartfood. I ended up giving away most of the box. I just wish the flavors had more of a taste and made the snack more enjoyable. I don't plan on purchasing again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hiball Energy Sparkling Water, Wild Berry, 16 Ounce (Pack of 12); Brand: Hiball Energy; Review: Was really disappointed in these. Considering the reviews, I was really hopefully that these were going to be my next favorite drinks. I've tried all 4 flavors and don't care for any of them. They literally taste like seltzer water. Not much flavor, very bland and leaves a weird after taste. I would love to return them but it's not worth it to package the remainder up. My search continues.....; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Organic Original Chewy Banana Bites - 3.5 Ounce - Delicious Barnana Potassium Rich Banana Snacks; Brand: Barnana; Review: These were just "ok". They had a great flavor just too "chewy" for my liking. I gave them to co-workers and they liked them but felt the same way I did.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Gourmet Basics Smart Fries 4-Flavor Variety Pack, 1-Ounce Bags (Pack of 24); Brand: Gourmet Basics; Review: Problem with these is that I want more than 1 bag. Great snack, good flavor and love the variety flavors so I don't get sick on 1 flavor. Would recommend and I will most likely buy again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Halfpops Popcorn, Brooklyn Dill Pickle, 1.4 Ounce (Pack of 15); Brand: Halfpops; Review: Really tasty. I ordered the dill pickle flavor and I really like them. I'm all about the crunch and flavor. I would recommend and reorder!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Moon Cheese 2 OZ, Pack of Three, Assortment (Gouda, Pepper Jack, and Cheddar), 100% Cheese and Gluten Free; Brand: Moon Cheese; Review: These were just "okay". The flavor for each was decent, worked for a snack but I think I'm going to try out another brand.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Health King Medicinal Teas Lung Pacifier Herb Tea Bags, 20 Count; Brand: Health King; Review: I just received this last night and honestly I don't know if I can have anymore. The taste was AWFUL! I didn't add anything to it because it was later in the evening and I wanted to try it plain. It seriously tasted like it had marijuana in it, which I can't stand the smell of it alone. I'll do my best to try this again because I would love to have some relief but wow, the taste is almost unbearable. Maybe I got a bad batch.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: New Hope Mills Sugar Free Pancake & Waffle Mix (9 Ounces); Brand: New Hope Mills; Review: This is the best stuff I've come across for low carb waffle/pancake mix. I actually cut the instructions in half and use protein powder, we use no calorie syrup and woolaa, a great, healthy breakfast. It isn't like the real, yummy sugar loaded stuff but it will help the craving.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Grocery_and_Gourmet_Food |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Britannia Manchester Hotel; City: Manchester Greater Manchester England; Review: From the outside you would say wow, its a grand old building in the centre of manchester. There are war memorials outside the front entrance and as you enter the reception area there is a fantastic chandelier to welcome you in. Thats when the welcome stopped, the reception staff were slow to say the least. We were attending a sportstournament so all finished at roughly the same time. Despite having 2 or 3 staff in the back office they didn't help the two girls on the front desk despite a large queue. We stayed on the 5th floor a twin room. The only light was a skylight and one of the lamps didn't work. The breakfast was ok a buffet kind of affair. It would appear they have trouble with down and outs at the front door as they have a bouncer who checks your keys to ensure you can have entry !!!. If you want central, we parked around the corner and you get a 25% discount with the hotel still cost us a total of £24 for two nights parking. Not so cheap, or cheerful but central.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express North Conway; City: North Conway Conway New Hampshire; Review: Stayed for one night only on our tour of new england, its a newish holiday inn express, breakfast is as usual bagels muffins etc. We booked a double room as we had our 6 month old son with us. the cot/crib wasn't in our room when we checked in but after about five minutes of being in the room the receptionist came in and set it up for us. The A/C was a bit noisy but it was clean and tidy. This hotel is across the road from one of the many discount outlet stores in north conway. We had a meal at the muddy moose and my wife can vouch for how good the cocktails were, alas i was driving.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Great Barrington; City: Great Barrington Massachusetts; Review: Newly built hotel on the edge of great barrington. A typical HI express with a free breakfast. Rooms were clean and newish. Across teh road is a supermarket an banks are near. Not far to drive to Tanglewood and the Norman Rockwell museum.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Rutland Killington Area; City: Rutland Vermont; Review: We booked a large double room with a cot for our son. Although the cot wasn't in our room a member of staff brought it up to us immediately. You get a complimentary breakfast the usual stuff donuts, muffins etc but can pay extra for a proper breakfast. the waitress took the money for the free breakfast off our bill . The room had a microwave and fridge which was useful for food for our son.The only disconcerting thing about the hotel was that there was a gun exhibition on the next day, being from the UK having a mini arsenal a few feet away was worrying, but hey thats the usa for you. We only stayed one night, not becasue of the gun show. The restaurant was very quiet as the hotel is at the far edge of town and set back from the road a bit.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel; City: Springfield Massachusetts; Review: I had originally planned to stay in the marriot which is directly across the road, however they were full. The reception girl was quick and efficient. On exiting the elevator you are hit by pink everywhere. And its a real old fashioned pink, if there is such a thing). The room was clean but the whole place could do with a overhaul very 80's. We had a snack in the sports bar which do very nice hot chicken wings. Its ok for a one night stay but a week would drag out. Parking costs $10 per night.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Constantinou Bros Athena Beach Hotel; City: Geroskipou Paphos District; Review: Just arrived back from a week at this hotel with my wife and 1 year old son. We stayed B & B and the buffet breakfast was varied and plentiful. A bit disappointing was the extra charge for fresh orange juice 1 cypriot pound per glass. As the title describes this is not a young persons hotel with discos, but if crown green bowling is your thing then this is the place for you. Its clean and about 8 years old. It only took a 5 minute walk to many bars and restaurants and 20 to 25 minute stroll to the port. we had a mountain view room which is infact a roadside view but the patio is triple glazed and with no racous bars near is quiet. It was a little bit cold for the outdoor pools and the indoor was 28c so not all that warm. We hired a car and travelled around the island but i can recommend the Sunbow restaurant who's staff entertained my son. The Ribshack for BBQ food, and the Oleastro. We also eat out when we went to Nicosia (lefkosia) at the Syrian arab friendship club, the food was lovely but they were a misserable bunch despite us being the only people there. A very nice place to eat was in Pissouri Liminaki food and the staff were brill but you need to drive there. I had a chance to read the hotels comments book before i left yesterday 13th march 2007. Most of the comment were relating to the non smiling waiters and waiteresses. We found them happy enough particularily when you have a cute 1 year old who attracts waitresses. All in all i would recommend this place but don't book half or full board as there are many other nice restaurants around. Far enough away to be quiet but close to be within walking distance.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Goulding s Lodge Campground; City: Monument Valley Utah; Review: Stayed here for one night on our trip around utah. Even though we booked well in advance the only thing they had available was a red rock pass house, so we said ok. On arrival we checked in and were directed to a bungalow in the red rock pass. No surprises there then. When we opened the door we were greated with a 4 double bedroom house. We also had great views of the valley from our window. There was a full kitchen and 2 bathrooms for the three of us. In some ways we would have liked to have stayed in the lodge but in others ways we were very happy.The only small problem were the fly's in the kitchen but they were soon got rid of. Yes gouldings have a monopoly of the whole area, gas station, hotel, supermarket but you shouldn't be spending much time in your room as the wild west is on your doorstep.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Desert Pearl Inn; City: Springdale Utah; Review: stayed here for two nights on the way through to vegas. Its a lovely place. Its a sort of motel but don't let that put you off because the rooms are not motel quality. Big rooms with lovely decor and all the facilities you could want. We had a ground floor room onto the river at the rear. Very tranquil and pleasant. the microwave, safe and fridge came in handy also. the staff are happy to give recommendations for places to eat but there aren't many. The coffee shop does starbucks coffee and the views are fantastic. The pool was a bit cold but i suppose it was september.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn London Heathrow M4 Jct 4; City: West Drayton Greater London England; Review: If you think of it as paying for parking and getting the night in the hotel free it might be worth staying here. We stayed one night before travelling to the us on a 3 week trip. The deal was one night and 15 days parking for about £100. I was expecting to pay the extra £10per day when i returned but thankfully they seemed to have forgotten about it. We were originally checked into a disabled room, but as we have a 18 month old son who likes nothing better to turn the accessible light switches on ( which drove us up the wall ) we asked to move. No problem we were shifted to a room on the executive floor. The problems they didn't help us shiift our bags, and we had to ring them up to move the cot. But despite the room being on the small size and quiet we all had a good nights sleep. Ok so its not as nice as some of the other hotels but the room was clean. A definite tip for traveller, we flew with BA so left from terminal 4. As the heathrow hoppa doesn't go there you have to change onto the heathrow express. We decided against this as we had suitcases and pram etc but the taxi charges£22 to get to terminal 4. Get the hotel to ring for a black cab, on our return it only cost £16 to get back to the hotel. Rip off or what.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Smartline Castillo de Antigua; City: Caleta de Fuste Antigua Fuerteventura Canary Islands; Review: Well where do i start. Its a massive complex, three hotels into one and this is where the problem is. There is not enough staff to cover the area, not enough cleaners, maintainence staff etc. It would be nice if they spent a bit of cash on the fabric of the building and the food, i will come on to the food a bit later. we requested a cot fo our 22 month old son and were given the most rusty metal framed contraption. They did change it eventually ( went to reception then had to follow up with a further phone call) The rooms are not cleaned on thursdays or sundays so we had nappies piling up. we ended up taking them to the bins outside the hotel. The cleaning wan't up to much to be honest but thats because there's not enough staff to cover the hotel. We stayed in the san jorge bit, we were all inclusive as it was only £20 extra per person but we still had a kitchen area. we tried to get a sea view but the reception staff stated that all those rooms were taken. The tap was broken in the sink and they never did fix it. It was handy to have the seperate bedroom so we could put our son to bed. The all inclusive covers local beer and local spirits and all food. Now onto the food, the breakfast is ok, cold meats, pastries, bacon, eggs etc But i would suggest not eating a meal there in the evening, its truely rubbish, same thing every night. They do have theme nights i.e. chinese night which consisted of all the usual bland food and spring rolls and chinese soup (vegetable) and that was chinese night. Really bad, also they have a hot grill where they cook chicken, beef and fish to order but beware they are only briefly shown the grill and will bepopped onto your plate still clucking or mooing !!!. We ended up eating out most nights i can recommend Fado rock - steakhouse, o fado - portugese, mexican corner, and gambrinus for pizza. If you have a car go to el cotillo on the west coast and have a proper canarian meal at el roque de los pescadores overlooking the harbour.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Barefoot Beach Resort; City: Indian Shores Florida; Review: We stayed here for a week at the begininng of october 2008 and found it to be lovely. we stayed in e201, it is a 2 bedroom apartment and just less than a five minute walk to the beach. This place is ideal for young families like ours, the pool is heated and secure and such a short walk to the beach gives that other option. the apartment was clad and had plenty of space for our 2 year old to run around, though we couldn't fit the cot into our bedroom. If you want clean quiet and a beautiful beach then this is the place for you, we went on the beach most nights for a stroll after dinner and even during the day the most people we saw reached only 2 dozen. We did travel to clearwater beach and found it to be very busy even at this time of year. An added bonus is that just next door is the salt rock grill. Very nice fresh fish restaurant though they do a good steak also. we decided to stay here as we wanted to be in between st petes and clearwater so we could keep our options open. we also had a couple of meals at bubba gumps in madeira beach which is one of my very favorites whenever we go to the states. Only bad point was that it didn't have a safe but the fact it was in a quiet area and was so near the baech more than made up for it. If you are going to this area stay here. Jim; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sand Cay Condominiums Beach Resort; City: Longboat Key Florida; Review: If you want a condo just yards from the beach then this is your place. We stayed in condo 107. Perfect for a family with young kids, such as ours. You can open the patio doors and the kids can have a run around on the grass. The heated pool has a safety fence around it so its secure. Our condo had dish washer, washing machine tumble drier and was far larger than the photo's depict. There is also a laundry on site if you dont have washing machine in your condo A very large flat screen tv with cable helped us adults out at night when the kids were in bed. The weather wasn't great so we went to the mote aquarium (short drive), busch gardens, gwiz and the ringling museum. The staff at the reception were pleasant and welcoming and helped us out with directions etc. The only very small down side was you can hear kids running about and any washing machines from the condo upstairs also its expensive but you do pay for what you get. The beach is clean and there are plenty of chairs etc on their private section of the beach. There isn't much else to do on the island itself but it was ideal for a quiet relaxing beach break prior to our second week in orlando. Finally if you look at some of the high level monstrosity's that look onto the beach you appreciate what this place gives you as its almost a boutique unique place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel LEGOLAND; City: Billund South Jutland Jutland; Review: We went to the buffet at hotel legoland, it was mad expensive we even had to pay 45 dk for our 23 month old daughter and 65dk for my 4 year old son. The food was very nice though lots of choice, the potato shapes were in lego blocks. Don't buy lego in any of their shops buy in the lalandia shop usually 20 to 40 dk cheaper or buy on the ferry.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Lalandia Billund; City: Billund South Jutland Jutland; Review: Just got back, we stayed here for 4 nights in a 4+ house. Its was excellant. The accomodation was very clean, the cookeer looked as if it had never been used and the house smelled of pine. Its so new the grass hasn't fully grown around the site. There are a few kid play parks sprinkled thru the site and luckily there was one at the back of us. Our house was a bit difficult to find at first as the site is so big. There are numerous different sizes of of accomodation but its right next to billund airport. Ryanair flights from stanstead. we went across on the ferry from harwich so brought a lot of food etc with us, to save on cost. Denmark is expensive there is no doubt on that 10 dk for a bag of crisps which is about £1.20. Also within walking distance from legoland. The main site has a aqua dome, indoor crazy golf, large sports hall, ten pin bowling, supermarket and a couple of restaurants. Buy a 100dk car park season pass to save you on the daily 50dk parking. Or if you are going send me a message and i will send you ours it lasts until december. We booked directly with lalandia and as it was off peak and got a good deal. The aqua park was brilliant lots of slides and pools fr different ages. All in all really lovely and quiet place you don't need a car if you want to go to legoland and lalandia but do bring plenty of cash with you as nothing is cheap in denmark.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Residence Club San Antonio Wild Oak Ranch; City: San Antonio Texas; Review: We stayed here for 5 nights in the middle of November and absolutely loved it. We stayed in a 2 bedroom condo. We arrived very late at night and were had to phone the security to obtain keys but this was very easy and the chap was helpful. The condo was brilliant for us, 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms large kitchen and living room. We also loved the washing machine and dryer which came in handy with two young kids. The place was also spotless which is always nice to see. The only down side was that the resort was quiet and the lazy river was cold but thats not the fault of the resort. Its a stones throw from seaworld 5 to 10 min by car. The shop was expensive for food so be sure to bring all the essentials with you. The best bit was definately the heated pool and slides. We went there every day. Shops and restaurants are a short drive away, we didn't eat at the resort it was a bit expensive.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Dumbarton Loch Lomond Hotel; City: Dumbarton West Dunbartonshire Loch Lomond and ; Review: Its brand new so you can still smell the paint. The room we stayed in was immaculate and massive. Large double bed, and 2 singles for the kids. There was still room to walk around the room and have the suitcases out. The room had a bath and shower. Breakfast was next door at the brand new pub. It was only £7.99 for adults as much as you can eat and the kids eat free, bargain. The staff were also a pleasure and they took time to speak to the kids. The staff at the pub were also excellant and could not do enough for you. Its only a short drive to loch lomond. Its not on my sat nav as its on the outskirts of a new industrial estate. Didn't hear much traffic and the hotel wasn't busy when we stayed. I don't think the scottish schools were off during the english half term. All in all an absolute pleasure try and book more than 2 weeks in advance to get the £29 deal.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Stormont Hotel; City: Belfast Northern Ireland; Review: I stayed here for 3 nights in May 2012. We had a sports tournament at the civil service sports pitches across the road so this was ideal for us. The room was absolutely roasting hot, it wasn't until the 2nd night i realised that they had infact folded over the double duvet and popped it into the single cover. This made it doubly hot. I shared a twin room with a colleague and there was plenty of room. Tea and coffee facilities, flat screen tv and safe. Bit disappointed with just the shower and no bath, but it was a very good shower. not much of a view as we were situated at the car park side of the hotel. Nice little touch was the free rubber duck which i brought back for the kids. We had a function at the hotel and the meal was so so, what really stung me was the drink prices, £6.30 for a jack daniels and coke is extremely high. Also disappointed that there is no swimming pool and a poor gym. Its no where near the city centre and a taxi fair is about £8.00. A tip for you is you want a drink get your booze from a small off licence around the corner.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Novotel Mainz; City: Mainz Rhineland Palatinate; Review: Stayed last weekend for three nights. Its a bit difficult to find in all the 1 way streets and you arrive at the turn in for the car park before the hotel but its signposted so keep your eyes peeled. The car park is charged at 1.5 euros per hour up to a max of 12 euros per day. We arrived in the middle of the afternoon and were checked in without much hassle, the staff were always friendly. I must say the staff in the restaurant always smiled and were very pleasant. The room was a large executive room for us and the 2 kids who slept on a sofa bed. The only problem being they didnt make up the bed the first night, but we phoned to reception and they brought up all the bedding. The room had tea and coffee facilities which were replenished as we used them. Another slight issue was the frosted glass toilet door, which doesn't shade the light from coming into the room, so you may have to go in the dark ! The breakfasts were brilliant and i would highly recommend it, buffet with hot and cold. cereal, cold meats, pastries everything you could want. Also the kids get a small toy as a gift.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn London Kensington Forum; City: London England; Review: Stayed here for business at a conference at the Olympia. You can get the tube or a short 25 min walk. The check in was quick, but I didn't get a double room, only a twin. I was on the 12th floor but could still here the main road and the tube despite the triple glazing. The breakfast was nice and plentiful, full english, cereals etc .but go before 8am to beat the rush. Lots of restaurants nearby. It's a tourist hotel and there were also cabin crew from heathrow there. The bar was expensive over £9 for a pint of lager and a jack Daniels and coke.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Legacy Preston International; City: Preston Lancashire England; Review: I agree with the previous reviews I stayed here for 1 night in mid june, check in and the room were fine, parking fine and its very near to the university (UCLAN). A group of us 7 people decided to have a meal in the evening. The restaurant wasn't that busy. We ordered various things from the menu only to be told that they didn't have a lot of the main courses, not many of the starters and a very few of the desserts. The waitress was very embarrassed, it took ages for the food to come and its presentation left a lot to be desired. We kept alive by drinking a good few £12 bottles of wine during the wait for the food. The breakfast was ok again a bit haphazard as there was only 1 member of staff to clean the tables, and welcome customers. Hotel was let down by the restaurant. Its clean, handy hotel just don't eat there.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Kalbarri Tudor Holiday Park; City: Kalbarri Kalbarri National Park Western Australia; Review: We had a 2 night stay here with a powered ensuite site on our trip. You must arrive before 6pm unless you make prior arrangement. Its ideal for families with a large jumping pillow and good play park for the kids. It's handy to have the BBQ facilities near the play park so you can keep an eye on the kids while you cook. It's a 5 min walk to the shops, bakery and bottle shop. The free wi fi was a bit hit and miss. Toilets, kitchen and BBQ were all clean and tidy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: RAC Cervantes Holiday Park; City: Cervantes Western Australia; Review: We stayed here for one night only in a powered site. There's not much in the site for kids but there is a large play park just outside. The toilets and shower facilities are ok not fantastic. It's close to the beach. We had lots of room to park the van and set up, the site was quiet due to winter. The cakes in the shop looked amazing but we didn't get a chance to sample them. You have to pay a deposit for the key to the toilet of $10. In summary a basic site not very fancy.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Skyline Hotel London Heathrow; City: Hayes Greater London England; Review: Stayed here both at the start and end of our holiday, the deal included parking. Join the Sheraton points system and you get " upgraded" to the 3rd floor which is for card holders, don't know if this is really the case or not. The first visit we had 2 double beds and the room was at the front of the hotel, we could hear the planes. Everything else was as should be. Short trip on the hoppa bus to T3. We used the pool and had an extra hour before checkout. There's not many Heathrow hotels with a pool and it wasn't roasting hot but the kids liked it. There's also a Starbucks at the hotel which comes in handy. The second stay again 3 rd floor but this time on the side of the hotel, far quieter this time. Used the pool again, still not warm enough for me. Went to a McDonald's for breakfast the first visit and for an evening meal the second visit an Indian around the corner which was excellent. Tend not to use hotel restaurants due to cost. Room 2 nd time was fine but had a pull out sofa bed which was a bit small for a 5 and 7 year old.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott Hotel; City: Hong Kong; Review: We had a stop over here on our way back from oz. wish I'd chosen the other hotel. We went to the desk at the airport and was given a transfer to the hotel. It took a while to checkin as they couldn't find my rewards number so I didn't get the free wifi. The room was ok, on the 8th floor over looking a ferry jetty. We did notice the noise from the cranes and the ferries. I know hk is expensive, but I'm not paying over £40 each for a buffet. We went to the velocity bar, despite having lots of staff service was bad, they were too busy with their phones. Theres also a compulsory 10% service charge even if the service is rubbish. The portions were small, including 2 drinks it was about $1100 hk so about £90. It's a captive audience theres no other place to eat nearby, unless you go back to the airport.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket; City: Karon Phuket; Review: I really wanted to like the hotel but when things go wrong they really go wrong. To be positive the staff are great and the hotel looks lovely, The pool was great and the kids thought the lazy river and the cliff jump was better than sliced bread. We arrived late about 8.30pm and was checked in by cruze, lovely fellow. The welcome drink that you receive is Ribena, was hoping for something a bit more exotic ! He informed us that our room that we booked some 7 months in advance wouldn't be ready until the following day, so we were unable to get unpacked. We had travelled from Bangkok so not over tired, but if we had travelled all the way from the uk I may have had a few extra words to say. Got placed into room 911 and the locks wouldn't work so had to call out the maintenance man at 9.30pm. Left for breakfast the following day and when we returned the locks failed again. We didn't move to 641 until 4.30pm the following day. The air conditioning wasn't great so we had to call maintenance again. The next day the hot water was off so we made do and left for the day( found out later a pipe had burst and the water had been turned off). When we arrived back our room was flooded ! Luckily we didn't have much on the floors to be ruined. The mess was cleaned by the staff. During this whole escapade I had been asking for a meeting with a manager. Finally had a meeting with Darren the area manager. The problem with this hotel is the poorly managed facilities, there are periods where the hotel is at 100% capacity, as such there is no contingency if things go wrong. To be fair the hotel compensated us with a credit, free buffets, access into the club lounge and lots of free laundry done. But if they had a plan in the first place it wouldn't have been the issue. Also this wasn't a one off, I spoke to other people from Saudi and wales and they suffered the same problem of not receiving the room they wanted. The staff were good particularly yu and tar at the pool, and om in the club lounge and the head housekeeper Deanne. The water from the taps is brown and we were not brave enough to use the Jacuzzi due to the colour. Got fed up of calling the call centre on a daily basis so we didn't let them know. Buffet breakfasts were nice lots of choice but sometime a bit slow to restock the food, loved the banana roti's and the club lounge was a god send. Would I go here again probably not, would I advise my friends and family to go, its 50:50.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Farnborough West Southwood Hotel; City: Farnborough Hampshire England; Review: booked this online direct with premier inn, we arrived late after visiting some friends nearby and we planner to go to LEGOLAND the following day. It was the night of the first world cup England game and I was concerned that the pub is nearby and there would be some extra noise. There was no noise whatsoever. The room was lovely, big and clean, basic but the best thing was separate beds for the kids so no arguments from them. Coffee and tea in the room and lots of pillows of different types soft and hard. Lots of towels also. Didn't go to the pub for breakfast as we brought something with us. Got checked in very quickly and our bed was nice and comfy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Travelodge Gateshead; City: Swalwell Gateshead Tyne and Wear England; Review: It's clean, the kids had separate beds. Check in was very quick. Concerns were raised by the amount of work vans parked in the car park , but they are obviously contractors working nearby. Didn't hear any noise for other rooms but it's near some train tracks which we did hear 2-3 times during the night. It was too hot to sleep with the windows shut. It's near a tgi Fridays and you can smell the KFC from across the road. I would not stay at a Friday or Saturday I would expect stag and hen parties would stay here due to the cheap prices.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Newcastle Washington Hotel; City: Washington Tyne and Wear England; Review: Had a lovely 1 night stay here for a family of 4. Checked in by a lovely smiling lady which is always a good sign. The room was clean and there were 2 separate beds for the kids which is great as it stops fights. Room was ok in size and although we were at the ground floor and at the front we were not bothered by the pub opposite. There's a toby carvery opposite and we went there for an evening meal and breakfast. It's a short drive to beamish about 10 mins. We drove to the galleries before to buy picnic stuff for our day at the museum. The only unusual thing was the toilet door !!!! There's one door that covers both the toilet and the bathroom. So when it's closed to the toilet the bathrooms open, and when it's closed to the bathroom the toilets open. Space saving I think, good idea though.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pal s Hostel Apartments; City: Budapest Central Hungary; Review: We arrived yesterday, the hostel arranged for the taxi from the airport for the six of us. We were met from the taxi and taken to the apartment. We couldn't be any more central. Just across from st Stephens basilica. It's clean and a massive flat on the third floor. Very secure. So cheap. It would be ideal for families also. If you're a light sleeper the church bells may bother you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Center Parcs Longleat Forest; City: Warminster Wiltshire England; Review: We originally booked a 5 day 4 night visit 4 adults and 4 kids in a 4 bed executive old style villa for £559. This was during the half term break, our county had a different holiday to the others. With a week to go we received an email offering us an exclusive 4 bed villa for only £150 extra. Bargain and we snapped it up. We have never been to a uk center parcs before but have been to 4 of the ones in Europe. We planned in advance and packed the swimming gear separately. Its possible to enter the park early but you wont get in the villa until 3pm. The pool was great and the outside areas very warm. The villa was amazing sauna, outside hot tub and steam room. Kids had a pool room with xbox 1. Large kitchen and dining room. All the bedrooms were ensuite. I think we were in villa 949. It was also handy that we could leave our cars in the parking spaces near the villa. We had maid service every day, they even emptied the dish washer. The place was spotless and there was a bbq on the patio but take your own disposable ones. We planned all the meals in advance so didn't need to buy anything in the supermarket on site. As an example it was near to pancake day and they were selling the pancake mix for £2 whereas you could buy it in the morrissons in warminster for £1. The only other activity we done was the aerial adventure again £26 each. Bit on the steep side. If you have small kids don't take bikes, its very hilly in parts and they wont make it up the hill and won't be able to brake on the way down. The land train is every 20 minutes and we always managed to squeeze on. We did consider having an indian curry from the on site restaurant but it was going to be nearly £60, we decided to drive to warminster it was cheaper. We also went to longleat safari park the next day which is next door a short drive away.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Manchester Airport M56 J6 Runger Lane North; City: Manchester Greater Manchester ; Review: stayed here the night before a flight to new York it was so cheap I didn't mind paying a £5 for the parking overnight, near to airport parking also. We just used it to sleep and we got breakfast at the airport. Didn't hear any noise and the room was basic but clean and tidy. The kids had separate beds so no fighting.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn London Ilford Hotel; City: Ilford Greater London England; Review: We stayed here for a long weekend. It's ideal, park the car for free and a 45 minute tube ride into London. We were ground floor in a family room. The kids had a bed each which keeps them happy. We backed onto the motorway so we could just hear some noise, but not too bad. No noise from the hotel guests at all. Breakfast is next door in the pub, the foods ok but it wasn't a buffet for a cooked breakfast but pastries and cereals are. The staff were very nice in both the pub and hotel. The only concern was I saw the female manager of the pub pick ice from around the bowl of fruit compote and put it into a jug of water ! Pretty disgusting.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Edinburgh Park Airport Hotel; City: Edinburgh Scotland; Review: Stayed here for 1 night as we were meeting friends in Edinburgh. Didn't hear any of the noise from the tram. Little bit difficult to find as it a new hotel. Had a lovely breakfast buffet, though the beans were cold. Near to a tram station and all the big bank and insurance headquarters. You can't beat the premier inn as the kids have breakfast free and they get a separate bed each.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Liberty Central Nha Trang Hotel; City: Nha Trang Khanh Hoa Province; Review: Stayed here for a week. The location was great near lots of restaurants and bars. We booked on line in the UK. Had to book 2 rooms for a family of four. Kids had a 2 bed room we had a large connecting room. Breakfast was included. Found staff to be pleasant. Other comments about staff not smiling wasn't apparent. Breakfast was good and catered for European, Chinese and local. Cereals pastries bread and an egg station. Room cleaned everyday with a turn down service at night. Kids enjoyed the chocolates. We are on the 12th floor but can still here the road noise. Didn't hear the music from the rooftop bar. A short walk to the private bit of beach which has towels and sunbeds. I would recommend this place. Thanks to suong at breakfast and all the staff. If you have complaints about the English spoken by the locals try learning Vietnamese.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sherwood Residence; City: Ho Chi Minh City; Review: Ok the good points are the location, although in district 3 its a short walk to the war remnants, water puppets, post office and independence palace. The inside of the reception is lovely and judging by the number of rolls Royce and Bentleys that are at the hotel it must be doing very well for itself. The staff are pleasant and their English is good. The hotel runs a shuttle service every 1 hour to ben thand market etc. Lots of security at the hotel. We were shown to the apartment which was on the first floor at the front of the hotel, I was concerned due to noise but the bedrooms were well insulated. The road outside is quite busy with the usual saigon beeping of horns. Seemingly we had been upgraded from a 2 bed to a 3 bed, The apartment was a bit worn, imagine some old school desks there was actually one in the main bathroom. The main bedroom had a tv, ensuite and lots of wardrobe space. We had an issue with the a/c but it was fixed very quickly. The kitchen wasn't big but we didn't really need to use it much other than keeping water and drinks cold in the fridge. Handy to have a washing machine and dryer in the apartment to wash clothes etc. There is a co op at the rear of the hotel to buy whatever you need or have forgotten. the let down was the limited breakfast which was just satisfactory, limited fruit no apples/ bananas or grapes, cereal was limited to rice krispies, corn flakes or granola/cornflake mix. Pastries were the same everyday didnt try the Vietnamese options. We stayed for a week and it did get repetitive. Unfortunately the pool was cold also, half of the pool is covered but even with temps exceeding 35C I would have expected it to be a little warmer. always a vinasun taxi at the front it usually took less than 50,000 vnd to get anywhere Ideal for my family, and would probably return again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Hog s Back Hotel Spa Farnham; City: Farnham Surrey England; Review: booked here through chessington for 1 night. the grounds are nice and we sat outside with drinks in a new "bandstand" watching the sun go down. Unfortunately it was one of the hottest days of the year and the room didn't have air conditioning !. Previous reviews mention the staff, the guy who checked us in was pleasant spoke to the kids and handed over the keys etc. Still confused about this £25 pre charge "seems very old fashioned" They no doubt go through staff quickly as the bar staff were a bit hit and miss on service. The breakfast was nothing special but it was hot but not a lot of choice. Its not the Hilton so don't expect 5 star. Didn't use the spa or pool unfortunately. The room was a good size and the 2 kids had separate beds so that limited the arguments. tea and coffee facilities in the room.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Rhyl Seafront; City: Rhyl Denbighshire North Wales Wales; Review: I stayed here for 2 nights on 2 occasions this month. It's a new hotel on the seafront and we had evening meals here also as there's no other restaurants nearby the food was good and the hotel was busy . Breakfast was good thanks to Clare's hard work. The car park is a short walk away.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: MH Apartments Central Barcelona; City: Barcelona Catalonia; Review: We arrived here for a four night stay before our cruise. Booked ourselves via a website. The check in was ok and we were given the keys to a flat on the top floor. When we entered it only had 3 beds and there was 4 of us. We had booked a 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom apartment. Tried to explain to the guy at the front desk but eventually asked him to come upstairs to show him the issue. The lifts are slow so this took a little time. Finally we were moved to another apartment. Lots of room, there’s a small supermarket around the corner. Could have done with an oven but the hob was ok. Short walk to the tube station at urgell. There are a few restaurants nearby within a 20 min walk.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: H10 Vintage Salou; City: Salou Costa Dorada Province of Tarragona Catalonia; Review: We stayed here for a week in August and had 3 days at PortAventura parks and a few days at the hotel by the main pool. I agree with some of the previous reviewers, there are not enough sun loungers for the hotel by the main pool we didn't make it to the adults only pool on the roof as we had kids with us. The hotel is a short walk to the beach 10 minutes or PortAventura 20 mins. We had a corner room on the second floor at the back of the hotel, the room was large with 2 king size beds and 2 double beds. The safe was free to use (but used an old fashioned key) which you have to transport around with you. The 2 patio doors onto the balcony were poorly secured and the locks were not fully working. We were forced to wedge them closed with a knife. Plenty of hot water always available, the issue with the bathroom was it has non-transparent glass doors but they are not floor to ceiling and you can only access the toilet via the bathroom. There was also a small fridge in the room that would fit a couple of litre bottles of water. There was a coffee machine but the coffee is only replenished at a cost. The food was a bit hit and miss, sometimes its was good and sometimes it was bad. The main issue was the food was often not labelled and you had no idea what it was ? Sometimes the food was a bit bland for my taste, also burgers for breakfast and doner kebab for evening meal were options !. I have concerns regarding the life guarding at the main pool. Do not rely on the life guard to maintain safety at the pool for your children. They are situated at the rear of the pool and their main tasks are to hand out towels, put out the sun loungers and umbrellas etc. There is only one on duty at any one moment, if they go to the bathroom or other tasks etc there is no one guarding the pool. Also the life guard station is at the back of the pool area and they are static and sat down at a table. I doubt they have full unrestricted view of the whole pool area. We had an incident occur at the hotel and asked to speak to the manager, on speaking with one of the staff his first question was who were we booked with. As soon as we mentioned that we had booked this independently he lost interest. It seems that unless you went with jet 2 or tui they didn't really care. The dining room staff are hard working and pleasant as are the staff from the kids club. There are many supermarkets nearby for water and snacks. The A/C worked well but the smoke detector in the room clicks on and off with movement which during the night can keep you awake.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Jaz Aquaviva; City: Makadi Bay Hurghada Red Sea and Sinai; Review: generally we dont do package holidays but we thought it would be good to get away for christmas to see whats its like. Picked this place due to its proximity to the water park, basically next door, there is no security or checks to wall from the park to the hotel and vice a versa. you are given a wrist band for the stay and this enables you to get food and drinks if all inclusive. We stayed in block 4 with a view over the pool (which was heated). The room was great, just as you enter the room the small sitting area coverts to 2 separate single bed for the kids, and there is a door between this area and the main bedroom. Great for when the kids are sleeping and the tv is on etc. Osama the room attendant came in every morning to clean the room and replenish the free water and he did a great job. The grounds and buildings are immaculate and spectacular at night. We arrived on christmas eve and they organised a gala dinner in a massive tent, the buffet was busy but we managed to get everything we wanted, entertainment was provided. When we got back to the room the hotel had wrapped presents for all of us including the kids and we were really touched such a nice thing to do. During our visit the food was a bit samey, could have done with some curries or chinese food options just for a change. Tip for you is to book your a la carte restaurant when you first arrive, a shuttle bus operates between the other jaz restaurants every 30 mins. 1 a la carte per week. tried to book the indian restaurant on our 2 day there but it was fully booked all week. we went to the beach one day and caught the bus,the sun loungers and shades are free as are the snack cafes there. Booked an excursion to badawya for jeep safari, quad bike, camel ride and spider cars and a bit of a meal an dance show at the end. other tips include wear warm clothing at night for december, take uk £ or $ or euros they dont mind which. The staff at the hotel work 50 days on and 10 days off and earn very little so give them tips. We tipped at the end of the holiday as we didnt want to carry cash during, only difference was the guys carrying the bags to and from the reception. The blocks dont have lifts ! I suppose the best advice would be having been there already, would i go again ? The answer is a simple yes.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: SKIN79 The Prestige Beblesh Balm BB Cream Diamond Collection; Brand: Unknown; Review: I absolutely love this product! I have very fair skin with red undertones, and I've looked long and hard for something that would A: be able to give me full coverage for the redness in my skin and B: match my skin tone without either rubbing off on my clothes or making me look albino. This gives my porcelain skin a new luster, makes me feel covered and still natural, and lasts for a few weeks with an easy to use pump to get the last drop out. I can't say enough good things about this!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: A Gift to My Children - a Father's Lessons for Life and Investing [May 08, 2009] Rogers, Jim; Author: Visit Amazon's Jim Rogers Page; Review: The book is very easy to read. You'll be done with it in no time but it's worth the time. It has a lot of interesting life lessons. As a guide to investing there are much more hardcore books, this one, as the author clearly states, is more on life with a small twist towards investing. I would also recommend it to parents who are about to or currently raising children as the general perspective of the book is written from a father to his daughters.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Economic Consequences of the Peace (Classic, 20th-Century, Penguin); Author: Visit Amazon's John Maynard Keynes Page; Review: This book is very good read to analyze and decompose the Treaty of Versailles. It covers the events that lead to the treaty, the conditions and circumstances underwhich the treaty and the parties involved where in and the motivations behind each one of them. All of these are analyzed in depth and in some cases backed via estimates and statistics.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: James Bond 007. Casino Royale. Film Tie-In; Author: fleming-ian; Review: This is my first Bond novel and I really enjoyed it, nothing at all like the movies, much more focused on Bond than on all the action. Great insights into Bond's mind, his doubts, pains and worries as he goes through an intense adventure. I've heard this is the novel where "Bond becomes Bond", and I can attest to that seeing how in this novel, he experiences things beyond what's usually portrayed of him...; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Dead Certain: A Novel (Broden Legal); Author: Visit Amazon's Adam Mitzner Page; Review: An overall entertaining novel and a light read. You'll get hooked easily and read through this pretty quickly, enjoying it all the while. It has fun/interesting reveals along with some "pulled-out-of-thin-air" kinds plot tie-ins, though the latter are acceptable enough not to really detract from the novel. Worth reading!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Chromo Inc 2 Pack Aux 3.5mm - 3.5mm Translucent Auxiliary Music Cables - Clear; Brand: Chromo Inc; Review: intermittent connections at the plugs in some mobile device jacks. The plugs act like they are a tiny bit short - maybe there is oil or dirt on the plugs on in my jacks. The white/clear combo is a little thicker (maybe 1/8-inch-diameter) than I wanted for a mobile device connection, but it is not stiff. They mostly work.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Golzer BANC-50 Bluetooth 4.1 High Fidelity Active Noise Cancelling Wireless OverEar Headphones with apt-x; Brand: Golzer; Review: No significant problems. The skip/pause buttons are hard to tell apart from each other by feel, but otherwise this is a convenient headset that works with bluetooth or a 3.5mm cord. I don't remember if the cord is provided. Noise reduction is good enough to use with the lawnmower. Over-the-ear cups are comfortable to me, but my head is medium and ears perhaps small - definitely not large.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: TiVo Roamio Over-The-Air 500 GB DVR and Streaming Media Player - No Monthly Service Fees; Brand: TiVo; Review: It's been a complete frustrating disaster. Hasn't recorded a single second. I ordered this 3 months ago with lifetime service subscription, and didn't get around to setting up until a month ago. I stepped through the procedure and it seemed fine until it said it needed an update, and the "last step" reported error S02. I've was on the phone with TIVO for a hour, we stepped through account registration. Now I have an account but S02 error recurs every time. Frustrating, and of course I cannot return it, according to Amazon. I'm getting angry thinking about it. So is this the lifetime of the device, 0 minutes?; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Plantronics M90 Wireless Bluetooth Headset (Certified Refurbished); Brand: Plantronics; Review: Good Value, no significant problems. The only difference between M70 and M90 appears to be the finish - M90 is shiny-black. And this ear-bud has the same shape but it is slightly STIFFER than the one I got with M70, so the M90 makes my ear a little more sore after 2-3 hours. Also the M90 LED charge light is very subtle - hard to see when it is charging. The M70 light is obvious.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Silicon Power 64GB Jewel J50 USB 3.0 Zinc-Alloy Compact Flash Drive, Titanium Edition (SP064GBUF3J50V1T); Brand: Silicon Power; Review: I don't like how warm it gets (not hot) but can't argue with transfer rate 122MB/s. I got the J50 (64GB). I also don't like the end loop cutouts; I'd prefer a single stronger loop, but the performance and value is good, so I just won't put it on a keychain. It acts like a genuine 64GB with testing.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Logitech M557 Bluetooth Mouse – Wireless Mouse with 1 Year Battery Life, Side-to-Side; Brand: Logitech; Review: great general purpose bluetooth mouse. I've only had it a week but it works well on every cloth surface I've tried, on phones and laptops. Don't know about glass or mirror surfaces. The wheel action is notched, lightweight and has no momentum so you can't spin it far. no significant issues, good value.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fibaro 857934005119 Modern Door/Window Sensor, Miniature, White; Brand: Fibaro; Review: smaller than it looks in pic about 2.5inches long and about 5/8inch wide, a little expensive, temperature DS18B20 works with Smartthings with slightly-broken device handler "Fibaro Door/Window Sensor ZW5 with Temperature" - external 4.7Kohm required. I haven't figured out how to clear the tamper but magnetic contacts work. The cover is a little too loose. It works.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Aeotec by Aeon Labs ZW097 Dry Contact Sensor, Small, White; Brand: Aeon Labs; Review: no problems pairing to SmartThings. Extremely sleepy device and so it has good battery life. Looks like 1x CR123 will last at least 1 year with about 5000 ON+OFF cycles. I do lose about 1 in 50 ON or OFF events (not both), but I have not tested whether they are lost in the SmartThings cloud, or in the IOT streams collector system Grovestreams, or somehow by the device hardware.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 Case [iCoverCase] Heavy Duty Armor Hybrid [Dual; Brand: iCoverCase; Review: no problems. It is firm, not gel, not sticky and not slick. A good TPU case, cutouts don't seem to block anything but the SD card.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Take away the Harry Potter series and it has to be my favorite book ever. I love how Judith Clarke constantly changes perspective getting inside other people's heads and giving us a whole new PoV. Lily's my favorite character because I love her name and it's easier to relate to her in the sense that she's more human than a lot of book characters you see today. We get to see her flaws and quirks as well her perfections making her a real person in my mind, and a bit more than a character from a book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

This book gives the juicy story behind one of the key elements of Harry Potter-- the fandom.

Title: Quality Hotel DV Manor; City: Vijayawada Krishna District Andhra Pradesh; Review: DV Manor is one if the Quality Inn group hotel which stands out from the rest. The maintenance of the hotel is good and that is why it is preferred by any travellers in spite better new property in the town. Located in the busiest area of the town, the hotels provides very spacious rooms with clean linen and bed. Food is good and restaurant offers good choice of breakfast. A place, where it returns every penny of money spent.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Keys Prima Hotel Parc Estique; City: Pune Pune District Maharashtra; Review: This place is becoming a habit now. The designer room is better and big in size with well crafted and placed furniture. Paying a small extra can improve your comfort. Rest of the things are as expected in a good hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Park Hyderabad; City: Hyderabad Hyderabad District Telangana; Review: Park is nicely located near to Husain Sagar lake. The morning walk along the lake is an excellent experience. Rooms are big in size with beautifully decorated rooms. Sleep is good with linen quality is excellent. overall a very good value for money.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Regenta Resort Bhuj; City: Bhuj Kutch District Gujarat; Review: The resort is located close to the airport on a hilltop. The property is big in area and provides good and cosy ambience to spend time. Rooms are good in size and clean but not very airy. Windows are small which does not match with the size of the room. Food is average and does not match with the traditional high-quality food available in Gujarat. Restaurant is located on one of the edge of the hill and gives good view to the city. overall, it is better than other places in Bhuj and on the way to Kuchh, this is a good option.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: PopArtment; City: Florence Tuscany; Review: This is a good property close to city centre and near to bus stop. The main station is just 1.5 kms away. The Apartment has excellent receptionist available 24 hours and is very helpful. They are good in speaking English and can provide lots of information about and around the city. Rooms are bigger in size and well planned. Hygiene are maintained at best level and apartment provides all kind of facility including cooking, laundary (on paid basis). A very good facility and worth for your money.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Urban Lodge Hotel; City: Amsterdam North Holland Province; Review: Urban Lodge is a good proerty located very close (walking distance) to Sloterdijik station which is very well connected to most of Amsterdam including Schiphol Airport. Rooms are clean and big and can easily accommodate a third bed for extra person. Staffs at receptions are very helpful and provides all necessary information required for a tourist. Lobby is nicely decorated with unlimited coffee available at your disposal. Although it is rated 4 star, but doesnot look so.Amsterdam is an expensive city and this is on higher side of the budget.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Fidalgo Pune; City: Pune Pune District Maharashtra; Review: Fidalgo is a very well located hotel near to the airport. Rooms are good in size but could be a little bigger. The lounge is very small and has a little arrangement to have a meeting. Breakfast too doesn't provide a good option to choose from. But a good place to stay within budget. Staffs are good and courteous.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel The Royal Plaza; City: New Delhi National Capital Territory of Delhi; Review: The hotel is excellently located in the centre of Delhi with almost everything is in just stone throw away distance. Staffs are very courteous and well trained. Rooms are bit smaller in size. The furniture is old (don't know whether it is purposely kept to match the name of the hotel). A good budget hotel surrounded by some luxury one. Little expensive compared to the offer it makes but of course location overrules other things. Wifi is not the standard part of the booking which is surprising since these are now very basic amenity offered by any hotel.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: WelcomHeritage Ranthambore Forest Resort; City: Sawai Madhopur Sawai Madhopur District Rajast; Review: The hotel is spread in a large land area with nicely built cottages. Rooms are good in size and can accommodate 4 persons easily. The restaurant is ok and has limited choice for breakfast and lunch/dinner. The swimming pool is not maintained well. The occupancy is good only in the weekend, Staff are courteous and helpful.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Casa Condominiums; City: Port Aransas Texas; Review: We stayed in unit #106 1bedroom/1 bath on the ground floor during the weekend of August 13th. The room was exactly as advertised and extremely clean. The short walk to the beach was perfect. The beach was not crowded due to Casa Condos being further out of the city. 5 minute drive to town for lunch, dinner & shopping. The staff at the front desk was very nice. We will definelty be staying here again and will be recommending to everyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Settlers Crossing Bed and Breakfast; City: Fredericksburg Texas; Review: What a cool place to stay. We stayed in the Von Heinrich house which was absolutely charming. All the comforts of home! We had the pleasure of visitors each day. Momma donkey and her baby, a herd of sheep with babies. Such a romantic getaway. Will refer all my friends to Settler's Crossing!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Islander East Condominiums; City: Galveston Galveston Island Texas; Review: We stayed in unit 408 on July 4th. When we arrived at 2:30 (check in 3) the room was a total mess. Staff at front desk said they are not responsible that I will have to call the owner. Owner never answered my phone call. Staff finally decided to call maid service in to clean our room. Finally got checked in at 4:30. The condo was a 1 bedroom unit. The kitchen was extremely tiny and the two burner stove was a joke. 1 hour to boil pasta and 45 minutes to boil 1 egg. We had one set of towels for 4 days, no trashcan, no outlets in the bathroom. Limited supply of kitchen essentials. I think if owner cut back on the crazy knick knacks (THE BUST NEEDS TO GO) and put a little more thought into what the customer needs it would of been perfect. The patio chairs were extremely uncomfortable and left huge bruises all down the back of my legs. Patio furniture is way to big for the very small balcony/patio. Electric fireplace did not work, but the strange lighted sculptures things did. Overall I would stay at this complex again but pick a different unit 408.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casa Condominiums; City: Port Aransas Texas; Review: This was our 2nd time staying at Casa Condos. We stayed in Unit 305 which has been newly renovated. Loved the condo, nice king size bed, queen size sofabig bathroom, big kitchen with lots of cabinets that were loaded with kitchen items!! Lots of games and movies for the kids, DVD player with stereo and IPOD holder which we could not get to work. This unit faces pool which is okay, much prefer beach view but for the price and location it was good. Only problem is check in is 4pm and our unit was not ready until 5:15pm. We were not to happy about that but it all worked out. Looking forward to staying next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sandcastle Condominiums Conference Center; City: Port Aransas Texas; Review: We love this place! We stayed in 517. Awesome view of beach and pool. Love the covered parking as texas heat is brutal. Staff is always nice. Easy walk to the beach. Website offers views of every condo available so you can choose what you need in you room; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Terk HDTVAZ Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna; Brand: Terk; Review: Using this thing made no difference in my reception over rabbit ears. In fact, I ended up getting less channels. Also, the base of this thing is too small so it tips over easily.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: LG Infinia 47LW5600 47-Inch Cinema 3D 1080p 120 Hz LED-LCD HDTV with Smart TV and Four Pairs of 3D Glasses; Brand: LG; Review: This 3D TV is very good. The picture was crisp and clear. The 3D didn't cause any headaches. The setup is extremely easy and the menus are intuitive. There is some lag which goes away if you configure the A/V input type so that the TV won't try to do an extra processing on the signal. And I haven't noticed any display problems so far. One odd design is that the TV uses HDMI 1.4, which has Ethernet included in the cable, but still requires a separate Ethernet or wireless connection to go online. A severer problem is that there's a laser-pointer-like remote for the TV but wireless signals (such as the one the TV uses) will interfere with it, so the pointer on the screen is never in sync with the movement of the remote, which makes using it to click buttons on the on-screen keyboard a chore. Using the arrow keys to type is also slow. I gave up after it took 2 minutes to type "sons of" in the TV's YouTube app's search box. It only took 1 minute to connect my computer to the TV to watch YouTube. So, the smart TV (i.e., apps like those on smart phones) is basically useless and I recommend connecting a computer and using a wireless mouse and keyboard instead.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: UPGRADED 2018 VERSION HD Digital TV Antenna Kit-Best 150 Miles Long Range High-Definition; Brand: BEFORE; Review: I just got this monitor and, overall, it seems pretty good. The colors are nice, the speakers are decent, etc. The main problem I had with the monitor was that there's a large sticker at the top right did not come off without leaving a large chunk of sticky residue on the polished plastic of the monitor. I've tried various things that may remove it on a hidden area of the monitor and everything will make the polished plastic look faded and old. So now I can either leave residue on the monitor or fade the plastic to remove it. The sticker (1) served no purpose, (2) was covering part of the screen, and (3) could easily have been put on the easily removable plastic wrapping that was covering 90% of the rest of the monitor.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sewell Direct SW-29446 8 Port (1x8) v1.3b HDMI Splitter with 3D support; Brand: Sewell Direct; Review: So I connected by computer to the TV and monitor (both of which use HDMI). It works perfectly for 1080p. However, there is a "delay" when you turn on a new device; by which I mean that if the monitor is turned on and the TV isn't, turning on the TV will cause the monitor to go black for 2 seconds as the splitter registers the new device.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bose QuietComfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones (Discontinued by Manufacturer); Brand: Bose; Review: This product is perfect for plane rides. It doesn't completely remove the engine noise, but it puts it so far into the background that you won't even notice it. And there's very little chance you'll actually be able to hear people talk around you. For every day use, I'd pick up some other headphones. The only reason to buy these is for the noise cancellation. Unless you live next to the highway, you should use other headphones with better sound quality.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Newport Beach Hotel and Suites; City: Middletown Rhode Island; Review: This is a lovely inn, but the name might lead you to think that it's closer than it is. It's not right in downtown Newport, which might be an advantage since the town could be noisy in summer. You can walk past the beach into town, less than a mile, or drive (they have their own parking, a huge advantage). The bed is comfortable, rooms are nicely decorated and they serve a free breakfast. There are a couple of places to eat nearby, but you'll want to go into Newport for the action. The walls are a little thin: I could hear the couple next door, who seemed to be having a very good weekend! However, turning on the CD player next to my bed would have solved that concern. Overall, I liked the place, and for the price it's a great value.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: English Bay Inn; City: Vancouver British Columbia; Review: What a marvelous place to stay! Great location, just two blocks from the Bay and also two blocks from wonderful restaurants. The west end has an amazing variety of great places to eat: African and Maylasian among them. As a single woman, I'd say that it's a safe neighborhood to walk in at night. My room faced a lovely garden and was very quiet: I rarely heard the other guests. The bed had a featherbed on top of the mattress -- it was so comfortable I want to buy one for myself. Breakfast was always delicious: hot scones with butter and sliced fruit every day, plus a variable meal, including crab & rice wraps one day, quiche another day. There's also sherry and port by the fireplace. Helen and Boban were terrific: at one point, during breakfast by the fireplace, I pretended that this was my house and they were there just to take care of me! What a lovely fantasy! I really enjoyed my stay, and would definitely stay here again, and I would recommend it to my friends.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: King Frederik Inn; City: Solvang California; Review: This Inn is located right on the main street downtown. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. There's some noise from cars on the street but it's not too bad. It's not the most exciting decor but that's okay. Check-in was easy and the room was reasonably priced. There's also some quirk with the parking lot so that it faces two streets but it's harder to enter from one of them. Mainly I'd stay here again because the location is great, right downtown.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Inn on Boltwood; City: Amherst Hampshire County Massachusetts; Review: What an elegant inn! The bed was like a piece of heaven, soft and comfortable but firm and supportive.

I know the inn had dozens of guests but I never heard a sound of anyone else near my room or in the hallway. There was plenty of parking, too. They just finished a renovation. It looks like a classic building but everything is clean, comfortable and up-to-date. There's free wi-fi but I only used it for my iPhone. It seemed fast enough. One of the little touches I liked is that they have Amherst magazine in the room. It was very interesting. Without it, I wouldn't have known that the college owns the Inn, although it's run by a professional hotel group. The staff members were great and very helpful, whether it was in giving me directions or having me use a parking pass.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Airotel Alexandros; City: Athens Attica; Review: Our room was beautiful. We upgraded to a suite for only about 20 Euros more. The room is definitely a five, and breakfast was great. The bath amenities are wonderful, including a toothbrush and razor. However, it is hard to find: our taxi driver got lost because he didn't put in the full street name, and apparently it happens a lot the elevator is tiny: it feels claustrophobic with two people with carry on luggage. It is a bit of a walk to the subway, but it is only two stops to The Plaka neighborhood, which is full of restaurants. It is also on the direct line to the airport. The mattress was nice and soft. There is free wi-if but it is a little slow, or you can pay for faster wi-if. It is a business hotel rather than one filled with tours. Overall, it's a great hotel once you find it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: San Francisco Marriott Marquis; City: San Francisco California; Review: I wish my conference had warned us that parking here costs $75 a night! Really? Wow. You can go across the street to 5th and Mission and park for about $3 a night. The hotel won't tell you this, but you can park for a few minutes to check in so you don't have to lug your luggage. The hotel personnel said parking fees are set by their vendor, but THEY hired the vendor. So this kind of cast a pall on my trip. It's a well-located hotel if you're going to the Moscone Convention Center, especially if you're going to Moscone West or South (south is under construction right now). The neighborhood is reasonably safe, although there are some homeless people, which you can expect in any big city. There are also many really great restaurants nearby, and it's an easy walk to luxury shopping and retail. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are nicely laid out. Service is efficient, and the hotel bellboys are terrific! There's a nice café on the main level with really exceptional food -- try the chowder! I'd stay here again and just park across the street. If you want something cheaper, The Mosser is an interesting boutique hotel nearby.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Vino Inn Suites; City: Atascadero San Luis Obispo County California; Review: I’ve stayed here twice and been pleased both times. It’s quiet during the week. The bed is very comfortable. The bathroom was immaculately clean and looked recently renovated with granite walls in the shower. The carpet had some stains but I’m not going to ding them for that. Good internet and cable TV. The price is reasonable. It feels safe, especially for a woman traveling alone. The staff is great, it’s been the same woman both times, Cary, and she’s been very accommodating even though I arrived close to midnight. The pool was down the first time I was there, but I think it was for renovations, so good for them for doing that. The food is great for a quick breakfast. It’s right off the freeway, on the main road, and a short walk to the classic downtown. I think it’s the same price whether you go through a travel site or not. Worth the $71, I would stay here again the next time I’m here on business.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Inn on the Riverwalk; City: San Antonio Texas; Review: This is a lovely Bed and Breakfast Inn. It's literally right on Riverwalk. It's a short walk to restaurants but away from the noise and crowds. I used it for business and it was about a 15-minute walk to the Convention Center, through quiet neighborhoods that felt safe. The bed was very comfortable, and there was no noise from outside or other guests. There were fans in each room, but for the time of year, Spring, I didn't need them. I had a suite for less than the price of one of the convention center rooms. The shower had great pressure and lots of hot water. The staff members were all terrific; I really enjoyed the breakfasts, and they were very helpful with suggestions and guidance. I would definitely stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Bentham Lodge Guest House; City: York North Yorkshire England; Review: From the moment we walked in the door we were made to feel welcome, thanks to Nikki whose warm,friendly and totally disarming manner made us feel totally at ease.The room was well appointed,spotlessly clean and comfortable with facilities and individualised decor more akin to a chic boutique hotel. After a truly wonderful breakfast we left the next morning with an enormous sense of well-being but also regretting that we hadn't booked a second night! We will rectify that next time we are in York! Thanks Nikki,for a memorable stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Parsonage Hotel And Spa; City: Escrick Selby District North Yorkshire England; Review: We were given a Groupon voucher for Christmas for a bed and breakfast stay at the Parsonage with access to the spa,a complimentary bottle of wine if we ordered dinner in the hotel and petit fours....nice we thought and we duly arrived last thursday afternoon (the14th), but from the moment we handed over the voucher at reception and watched the receptionists attitude change before our eyes we got the feeling that our experience might not be quite the same as other guests.At no time during our stay was any mention made of the spa likewise the wine and petit fours, which never materialised. We had an "executive" double room which had a pleasant view over a ploughed field and was servicable although the layout in the reasonably sized bathroom was bizarre with the toilet crammed right next to the door. There were warnings about the scalding water and sure enough is was scalding but does it have to be that way particularly in a hotel where young children might be staying? There was freeview TV and a trouser press (!) but no bottled water and an inadequate supply of coffee sachets which I had to go to reception to rectify. We had pre-booked dinner for 7.45 and were directed to the busy bar to wait and although others came after us we were alone in the bar by the time we were shown to our table at 8.40. (I've reviewed the food separately under "Lascelles Restaurant at Parsonage Country House Hotel") Our room was on the ground floor in a relatively new annexe tucked away behind the original building.It had french windows(warped and not airtight) which led out onto a narrow pebbled area and a fence which ran the length of the ground floor rooms.The downside of this was that there were no windows to open at night to let some air into the increasingly stuffy room. We had to resort to turning the heating down to zero to get some relief which meant that we awoke to a very cold room. Breakfast was served between 7.00 and 9.30 and whilst on our lengthy way to the dining room we passed numerous conference suites all in full swing and I realised that THIS was the the core business of the hotel and that guests coming for a relaxing and "restful" stay were not the first priority.Suddenly it all made perfect sense.....the bland and largely empty walls in neutral or muted tones,the functional and soulless public spaces,the "executive" styling of the bar ("open at the hotels discretion").....it was all geared for a different clientele..... Breakfast itself was a buffet style affair.I look forward to the indulgence of a cooked breakfast when I'm away but the slab of congealed bacon and the cold beans and dried out sausages were offputting as was the sludge at the bottom of the far from fresh cup of coffee. At the normal price of £140 per night for B&B this is far from cheap and it's not an experience I would ever care to repeat .We've come across; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Glen Rothay Hotel; City: Rydal Ambleside Lake District Cumbria England; Review: Called in to the Badger Bar for a drink and a bite to eat after a walk on April 2nd. Yes,it was busy and yes, it was full of spoilt and unruly children but it was the holidays after all and we did manage to get the last table in the place. However,the table was filthy from previous diners and no effort was made to clean the mess up the whole time we were there. The place was seriously understaffed and this affected the level of service we received. Eventually got some drinks ,although they didn't have everything that we wanted, and ordered 3 bowls of chips at £3.25 a bowl. When the chips arrived they were in small dessert dishes and whilst they were well cooked,£3.25 for a modest handful of chips is pushing it.On the website menu a side order of chips is £2.75....I'm curious to know why passing trade should be charged more? Overall the experience was unpleasant and management can have no excuses for poor service (understaffing),dirty tables (again,understaffing) and overpriced snacks ("let's rip the tourists off "?....no,surely not ?! ) .I left deeply unsatisfied and was glad to get back to Skelwith Bridge where they understand the meaning of excellent service, cleanliness and value for money! I have no desire to trudge up the scruffy drive to the Badger Bar ever again....; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Travellers Rest Inn; City: Slaley Hexham Northumberland England; Review: Whilst out for a drive the other day we came across this pub and decided to stop off for lunch. The inside has the feel of an old traditional country pub so much cheered we ordered drinks and studied the menu. I ordered a roast beef & gravy baguette with chips whilst my wife ordered a goats cheese and sun dried tomato baguette with chips.It took a little while to come as there was only one seriously over-stretched person behind the bar taking orders and serving drinks. I never thought I would ever find myself complaining about big portions but I knew when I saw the size of our platefuls that we would struggle to finish and that turned out to be the case. . The large oval plates were laden down with chips and large baguettes and my wife also had a clump of tasteless greenery squeezed in,covered with raw onion to make it taste of something. Whilst her baguette was okay (she ended up wrapping half in a napkin and taking it home!) the chips tasted of nothing....except cooking oil. My beef baguette was soggy from the gravy (why couldn't they have served the gravy separately?) and the single slice of beef had a thick band of gristle and muscle running across it which I had to cut out and put to one side). This meal proved that quantity is no substitute for quality and until someone wakes up in the kitchen and realises that overfacing customers with badly presented,poorly sourced and cooked food is no way to encourage repeat trade and maximise profit margins we won't be back; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Bridge Inn; City: Grinton Yorkshire Dales National Park North Yorkshire England; Review: Stopped here for lunch the other day and had a thoroughly enjoyable meal.My wife had the salmon starter and I had the pork roast baguette "with a handful of chips" and a handful is exactly what I got.....thank goodness! I'm tired of ordering a lunch only to be served a mammoth plateful loaded down with indifferently cooked chips and the obligatory clump of tasteless greenery decorated with sliced cucumber and tomato. The baguette was a modest size but was filled with delicious home cooked pork (although I wish the fat had been trimmed off),home made stuffing and a touch of apple sauce.The chips were firm and crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside....perfect! That was it....no superfluous salad adornments or any lame attempt to tart the dish up. My wife's salmon starter was equally delicious and here the presentation in a bowl with the sauce around the outside creating an island for the blini base worked really well. Although tempted by the list of desserts we had an onward journey to complete and we were pleasantly full so we passed.However, even though it's off our normal route, we will be back !; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Alikes Apartments; City: Elounda Lasithi Prefecture Crete; Review: We spent two weeks at the Alykes last year and enjoyed it so much that we booked up to return this summer for a number of reasons,the primary one being that the Alykes staff are absolutely superb ! Maria,Popi and Jenny go out of their way to be helpful and their friendly and caring approach to their guests is one of the key reasons why so many people keep coming back year after year.Make no mistake,Maria,Popi and Jenny ARE the Alykes and without them the Alykes would become rather ordinary (Mr.George take note!) The rooms are clean and sheets and towels are changed twice a week.We had a room with a sea view this year which was excellent .However, a cracked mirror and shower tray,a toilet flush that kept sticking,a screw sticking out of the side of the bed and a socket which came out of the wall exposing live wires when you removed a plug from it indicate that some money will need to be spent on this room (and others,according to other guests we spoke to) after the season has finished to bring it back up to scratch for 2014. Elounda itself is compact and not over-developed (yet).Beyond the restaurants there's little night life in Elounda which suited us fine.There are numerous good places to eat in the evening such as Lotus Eaters,Olio and Katafygio which are just 5-10 minutes walk from the Apartments . We spent some days on the small beach just 100 yards up the road and came back to the Alykes for lunch.The bar menu contains the usual mixture of sandwiches,club sandwiches,crepes and salads but the difference is the care that Popi puts into preparing the food.....Special mention must also be made here for Jenny's Vanilla Milk Shake! Small niggles about the room aside we had a great holiday and it was so relaxing that we've been back over a week and still can't adjust ! I'd love to say that we've booked up for next year but for some reason the Thomson price for the same two weeks in 2014 has gone up £400 per person to £1112 from Newcastle and that's just a ridiculous amount to pay for a self-catering apartment at the Alykes.Add to that some horrendous flight times for 2014 (Manchester is the same) and sadly the Alykes is a non-starter for 2014 although I hope that we will return one day in the not too distant future.....

Title: Atarazanas Malaga Boutique Hotel; City: Malaga Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: Stayed here for two nights in July and despite having booked in April we found ourselves in a 'compact' (or poky if you prefer) room with no view except onto a small internal courtyard.Claustrophobic does not begin to describe what it felt like. We were told work was being done on the hotel which is why we were given this particular room but I remain sceptical. That said,the room was spotless,the air-con was efficient,the staff were friendly,the prices were reasonable and the hotel is sited just five minutes walk from the centre of the old town (which is exactly what we wanted). On balance we would return to this 'boutique on a budget' hotel but only if we could have a room with even a nominal view of the sky!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Kings Head Inn; City: Keswick Lake District Cumbria England; Review: We've stopped here a couple of times for lunch on our way to stay in Ambleside and each time we've been impressed by the service and the standard of the food. On our most recent visit we shared a Ploughman's and a portion of chips which were as they should be,crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The Ploughman's was delightful and surprisingly filling.My compliments to the chef. We'll definitely be back next time we're passing; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Cairn Hotel; City: Harrogate North Yorkshire England; Review: With an expansive and well renovated foyer in the grand Victorian style the Cairn Hotel sets out its credentials (you can even purchase a book celebrating its 125 year history). Such a pity then that aspects of the accommodation just don't match up to that impressive entrance ! Our room was advertised as "Superior Twin Double" which I believe refers to to the fact that it has been refurbished recently.Do not be deceived for to call our room 'compact' would be doing the word a disservice.To fit two twin beds with a bedside table,a long dressing table,a wardrobe,plus a TV on a cupboard unit in a room that measured 12'x12' at best was extremely skilful but rendered it impossible for two people to move around at the same time without getting in each others way! Okay,you say,it's only for one night and it's just a place to sleep isn't it? Hmmmm......but I would have liked a bath before I went out for the evening,I reply (just one of those little treats you look forward to when you go away). No such luck.....the water wasn't even hot to the touch and who on earth wants a lukewarm bath ? As I took a quick lukewarm shower I was intrigued by the phone socket halfway down the wall next to the towel rail.As to the exorbitant charge for accessing the internet in your room,don't even go there! Having had a really enjoyable evening in Harrogate (dinner and concert) it was a little galling to be woken at 2.00 am by a group of obviously inebriated guests attempting to make their giggling way to their respective rooms (or each others...who knows). Breakfast,on the other hand was mostly good (even though we had to stand around waiting for the scrambled egg to appear).The staff were pleasant,polite and efficient and the components of the breakfast were generally tasty and well cooked (the exceptions being the fried eggs which were shrivelled up with bullet hard yolks and the baked beans.....generic catering pack?). Despite the adequate parking and easy access to the town this is not a hotel we will return to.In trying to be all things to all people (e.g. coach parties,couples and business people) it fails and ends up falling short of expectations.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Anais Bay Hotel; City: Protaras Paralimni Famagusta District; Review: We spent two weeks here at the beginning of September and were given Room 8 on the ground floor which we were told was newly refurbished.Whilst the shower and bathroom were of a high standard the lack of a proper non-slip shower basin made it potentially treacherous.The use of really dark wood in the bedroom (and throughout the hotel from reception to the bar) lent a gloomy and out-dated air.Whilst the air-con was included (fixed temperature and very noisy) the fridge and safe cost 74 euros for the fortnight and there were no tea or coffee making facilities. Breakfast was adequate but grew increasingly monotonous as the days went on with the eggs and bacon always swimming in grease. The pool was small and the number of sun loungers for the number of guests staying at the hotel and the adjoining apartments was woefully inadequate,an observation borne out by a number of guests we spoke to who ended up directly across the road at the Farkonas where the pool was bigger and the sun loungers more plentiful and comfortable! Although we had the 'joy' of having a couple with a newborn being put in the next room to us after a few days, this was "an exception" (!) and to be fair the great majority of the clientele made the characters in "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" look positively youthful. Many had been there year after year and it was very cliquey. On the plus side the staff were friendly and helpful,the beach was very handy and there were some excellent restaurants close by. We won't be back.The Louma apartments on the beach look a much better proposition.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Plough Inn; City: Newcastle upon Tyne Tyne and Wear England; Review: I came here for morning coffee and lunch with a friend who had recommended the food. My initial impressions upon entering were confused...was this a pub,a restaurant or a hotel? The decor put me in mind of a boutique hotel which was just fine but if viewed from the point of view of a country pub or even a restaurant it all seemed a little sterile and characterless. However,the seating in the lounge/bar area was comfortable and the Ringtons coffee was excellent,as was the service throughout our visit. As lunchtime approached I ordered the mussels only to be told they weren't available as the delivery hadn't arrived which was disappointing.I ordered the scallops instead with a side of hand cut chips.The three scallops which arrived were only very lightly seared (obviously the cheaper 'wet' variety which don't caramelise easily) and whilst retaining some taste they only just avoided being undercooked and rubbery.They were served on 'local black pudding', which was absolutely delightful,with minted pea puree and some splendid crispy pancetta.The 'hand cut chips' were rather uniform and rather soggy for my particular taste but the portion was generous. Overall,on the basis of one lunch-time visit I can't say I was overly impressed but I think another visit for dinner might be called for as I think this place has potential....whether it can deliver is another issue.....; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Amphitriti; City: Pefkos Rhodes Dodecanese South Aegean; Review: This is the second time we have stayed here and it won't be the last as we've already booked for 2017. The staff are helpful,friendly and Anne on the desk is a gem! The rooms are well appointed and spotless with sheets and towels changed regularly. The hotel pool is well maintained and the bar snacks are of a very high quality. The hotel is really handy for the beach and whilst it's a little walk to the shops and restaurants the relative quiet is the bonus. It's easy to see why so many people keep returning to the Amphitriti Hotel !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Burt s Hotel; City: Melrose Scottish Borders Scotland; Review: Okay,we booked reasonably late in,July but Room 10...really? It looked out onto a brick wall and the carpark, was small, outdated and in definite need of a refurb....the 70's/80's features in the room made the experience faintly surreal. Of more concern was the black mould in the bathroom on the tiles and sealant...not acceptable! Also outside our window was the extremely noisy air vent from the kitchen below which kicked off at around 6.00 pm and didn't stop until well after 9.30 pm (despite assurances from the front desk that it would finish earlier!) You might wonder why I've rated Burts "very good"...simple really...it's the food! We had dinner in the bistro bar and it was sublime....From the starter of Salmon,Tiger Prawn & Scallop Terrine to the Rump of Borders Lamb and the Pan Fried Hake the quality and presentation of the food was extraordinary....needless to say each dish tasted superb.The service was excellent particularly from the beautiful blonde waitress (can you still say that without getting hammered by the PC police?) The cheeseboard we shared was a letdown after the first two courses, but overall this was one of the best meals that I've had in a while! I would thoroughly recommend the food (the breakfast is also to be commended!) but if you're staying avoid Rooms 10 and 12 !!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

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

Title: Budget Inn Mackinaw; City: Mackinaw City Cheboygan County Michigan; Review: I stayed here just for a place to sleep. I needed a cheap place so I could make the trip affordable. The price was perfect. I'm pretty sure that I was only one of about 5 rooms booked there but they stuck a family with little kids in the room next to me the first night and the walls are paper thin, which made for a long sleepless night. The rooms are a little older looking but the pillows were great and it suited my needs just fine.

Title: Sansha Salsette 1 Jazz Sneaker; Brand: Sansha; Review: I normally wear a USA mens size 9.5, so I ordered a 10 M USA and it fits fine. A bit wide, but I have a narrow foot. This sneaker is very lightweight and seems to have good construction. I am using for west coast swing and some ballroom practice classes instead of my main ballroom shoe. It was a bargain and the only regret is that I didn't purchase sooner.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: 17" Medium Travel Duffel Bag; Brand: DALIX; Review: Well, the size and functionality of the bag is fine, but the build quality over time as clearly shown up as poor. About a year into using it, all the seams just started falling apart, like the material was just deteriorating. The seams didn't tear, just fell apart. All the zipper and closures still work, but everywhere the zippers are joined to just fell apart. I've never seen anything like this before. Buyer beware, it works for about a year, then puff, it's just falls apart.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Men's Plaid Printed Knit Lounge Short with Side Pockets; Brand: North 15; Review: Very nice material and feel. Extremely comfortable, and great value. Exactly as described and what I was looking for. Shipping took a few days longer than originally promised, but no problem for me.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Casio Men's Black Analog Anti Reverse Bezel Watch; Brand: Casio; Review: Pro's - Very comfortable lightweight band, dial bezel turns easily, and the second hand hits the tick marks spot on correctly, with no bounce. Con's - The crystal is very glary, which makes it difficult to read, and is distracting. The size is a bit big for small wrists.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Fanmis Black Dial Rotatable Bezel Luminous Hand Quartz Mens Womens Silver Stainless Steel Watches; Brand: Fanmis; Review: It's pretty much a get what you pay for. Not a bad watch, keeps accurate time, looks a little cheap, almost no illumination in the dark, and the band is not very good. If you have a small wrist, it doesn't size down very well, and the clasp is very thin and difficult to close. Lots of semi-sharp edges on the band causing small cut like marks on my wrist. With all that said, for under $40, it's a decent watch, looks nice from a distance, but don't look too close. I'm not sure if it was money well spent or not.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Best Man's Handbook: A Guy's Guide To The Big Event; Author: Visit Amazon's Jim Grace Page; Review: This book is pretty basic. I've read all (5) of the best man books out there, and the Best Man Bible, an e-book, was the best of the lot, and only $5. Do a search for it online and get it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Magic in Practice - Introducing Medical NLP: The Art and Science of Language in Healing and Health; Author: Visit Amazon's Garner Thomson Page; Review: As a medical practitioner, it's not every day that a book comes along which makes you rework the whole way you look at your practice. This book is the first I have read and reread in a long time. I started out outlining it, then stopped when I realized I was marking more than I was not. Extensively researched, accessible, and well-written, with many, many tools to use in your practice now. Whether you are an MD, acupuncturist, chiro, or whatever, get this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Cactus Eaters: How I Lost My Mind- And Almost Found Myself-On the Pacific Crest Trail; Author: Visit Amazon's Dan White Page; Review: I loved this book.

Title: Write Words That Sell - Think Like a Genius Marketing Copywriter [Instructional Video & Book - Copywriting, Web; Author: Everyday Genius Institute; Review: Wow. Just finished watching this a few days ago, and have been applying the principles I've learned not only to copywriting, but thinking through every aspect of my three businesses. Everything in this product is broken down beautifully into easy-to-follow steps as well, which really appeals to my Virgo mindset. I've created several businesses and even created and sold a software company. Had I known what I know now (simple yet profound) through this copywriting program, I can only imagine where I'd be today. Now I'm looking forward to where I'll be in a year or more, knowing how to focus my company's message in a way that sells. Thanks!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Four Steps to the Epiphany: Successful Strategies for Products that Win; Author: Steven Gary Blank; Review: Plenty of people have already given this book its due. I'd just add that I believe it has already saved my startup's ass (check out the Lanchester Strategy--that part saved me, and I believe could have come much earlier in the book). I just finished the book, and will now start reading it again. And again. And again until its principles are etched in my skull.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: The Late Show; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Connelly Page; Review: Very disappointing I didn't care one bit about his new character, Ballard I have already forgotten her first name. I couldn't relate to her or find redeeming qualities in her; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Fear: Trump in the White House; Author: Visit Amazon's Bob Woodward Page; Review: Woodwards book supports much of my own feelings about the 45th President. His documentation leaves no doubt as to the accuracy of the individuals quoted in his book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Wicker Man VHS; Brand: Edward Woodward; Review: I previously owned a DVD copy of THE WICKER MAN.....and while it was "watchable", the Blu-Ray release is simply amazing by comparison. Also.... the version "the final cut" included scenes that were previously unavailable on the DVD....and the supplements are equally fantastic! I highly recommend this edition to anyone who is a fan of the film.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Midnight Express; Brand: Paolo Bonacelli; Review: An excellent "upgrade" of this sensational film!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fifty Shades of Grey; Brand: Dakota Johnson; Review: Despite the TERRIBLE reviews of this movie, I enjoyed it. Dakota Johnson's portrayal of an innocent, virginal college intellectual who's seduced into the ways of a wealthy, dominant personality (with his OWN set of psychological deficits!) is, IMHO.....fascinating.....and fun to watch. True....the S & M portrayed in the film is puerile and a bit "vanilla"....and Jamie Dornan's performance is decidedly "lackluster".....but (apart from that), the soundtrack is EXCELLENT....and (to me, anyway), the film is quite fun.....if NOT a somewhat "guilty pleasure". My ONLY problem is that the product was shipped to me WITHOUT the "slipcover" that was described on Blu-Ray.com as being "included" with the disc.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Sayari Camp Asilia Africa; City: Serengeti National Park; Review: We satayed at Sayari Camp for tree nights. It was the most amazing place I've ever stayed.. and I travel a lot. Simply fantastic in all senses. They have a wonderful team that makes you feel special in every detail. It's very well located inside the north area of Serengeti Park. Amazing place. The tents are very nice, huge, with great view... the food is delicious and the game drive safaris are the best. The Rangers are very well trained. They now everything about the animals and the place. Sayari Camp's team are experts in creating the best experience for each of their customer. The Camp Manging Director, Roger, is a great guy that makes total difference. At dinner time they promote the guests interaction in a very good way, wich is very nice! It's all inclusive, so you don't have to worry about anything during your stay! We loved the place and totally recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rhotia Valley Tented Lodge; City: Karatu Arusha Region; Review: Rhotia Valley is an amazing place to saty if you like being home. The tents are very rustic, but nice. People are extremely nice. The dinner experience is amazing.. they have an open kitchen and every day Chef prepares a fresh menu. Very cozy and welcoming place. The owners also keep a Childrens Care Home that you can visit. Amazing!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pousada Picinguaba; City: Ubatuba State of Sao Paulo; Review: We just spent a weekend at Pousada Picinguaba... and we were positively surprised! The place is a colonial house in the hill, hidden in the middle of tropical forest... facing Pincinguba's bay, north of Ubatuba. The view is pretty amazing! We arrived Friday late night... dinner time was finished but they manage to serve us when we arrived. Breakfast is delicious and everything very fresh... as well as dinner, included. They served dinner outside on Saturday, at the deck by the pool... with candles! Besides the delicious fresh scallops, a whole fish braised on charcoal was served! Service is premium. The whole staff is amazing! If you can, try room #10. Best view with a balcony!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Alaska Cortina; City: Cortina d Ampezzo Province of Belluno Veneto; Review: Hotel Alaska was the worst choice. They aren't cheap (about 240 Euros/night) and what you pay is not worth it at all. The hotel is old and dark, really bad feeling when you enter the place. The check in is awkward - They keep your passport for some time because they can't get the info at the time. Our room we had a bathroom that smells bad... like urine when it is dry. Toilet paper was the worst quality ever (imagine how bad to make me comment here) and the bed linens also terrible quality, the type scratches you. Breakfast is also complicated... for any hot drink like a simple black coffee you need to sign a paper and then he will bring the coffee. At the end they don't charge extra, but the process is confusing, takes time and you don't understand the need for that. Also, the Wi-Fi is really bad. The connection is poor, a lot of times down, and every time your mobile phone closes its main screen you need to reconnect and put a password again. I would never recommend it. Felt robbed. I'm sure there are better options in town with same or even better price.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Albero Capovolto; City: Golfo Aranci Province of Olbia Tempio Sardinia; Review: Albero Capovolto was the best surprise and treat of the trip. The place is beautiful and quiet. The property is located in a rural area near Golfo Aranci, which makes it even more special. It's about 15 - 20min from Olbia airport and easy to go to very nice beaches. Alessandro, the owner is very thoughtful in every the detail. From the fragrance developed by him for the place, the breakfast, music... the way he shows you the property. Every detail means something. We couldn't have been better hosted. He also suggests nice places to have dinner or beaches that are less crowded and still nice in high seasons. Fridays and Saturdays they serve dinner... witch you can not miss. The swimming pool is delicious. The best is to watch sunset by the pool with a glass of wine. Simply loved it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Rendezvous Hotel Christchurch; City: Christchurch Canterbury Region South Island; Review: great oppornity going begging Saff lacked continuity, facilities not promoted ( still wondering what the menu entailed in the restaurant )as no mention was made of it the compendium in the DINNING section !!!!! yes thats how it was spelt! no bible, Our deluxe room was tiny by any at standards . Only one bath robe ! when one was showering the hot tap in the hand basin could not be turned on as this effected the shower temperature ! Signage showing which direction your room is when exiting the lift showed room in other direction ! Concierge offered no information on whats happening in the city what attractions are still going etc. THis hotel is missing the basics and given that there is not alot of choice in accomodation in christchurch maybe they just don't care; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Scenic Hotel Southern Cross; City: Dunedin Otago Region South Island; Review: great service great value ... great experience worth the money. everything from check in / out valet parking to room service was great.

Title: Santana Holiday Resort Apartments; City: Surfers Paradise Gold Coast Queensland; Review: Well what to say first ? Check inn after 5 pm . Pick up a phone to speak to someone to get a combination to a safe to get your keys great idea if someone answers the phone . The room stunk of cigarette smoke !!! The unit is showing its age .... The bed is a bit hard . The shower / bathroom area is in a definite need of a clean !!!! This place won an award from trip advisor in 2013 ..... It must have new owners ..... The only thing missing is the bed bugs so that's a plus . So for less than $100 a night it's a bargain ..... Not; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Sanctuary Rarotonga on the beach; City: Aroa Beach Rarotonga Southern Cook Islands; Review: I have traveled extensively throughout the world and am able to draw on a lot of experiences .We spent a night in the honeymoon suite that bed was great the sauna was also passable although there was a lose board on the floor ( dangerous ) the spa smelt mouldy ie the lid was mouldy. The next nights were spent in 603 this room had a bed that was covered in vinyl and on top of that was a mattress protector ... .... This created heat which mad for an uncomfortable sleep ( 6 days of ) the bathroom in the shower had mould the cleanliness also was not up scratch ie dirt, dead insects etc behind the couch. Given that your resort is close to the water one would have thought that tiles that you could easily slip where not the best choice . You could generate a lot more income if bar staff readily fixed drinks for those at the swim up bar . The resort equipment ie kayaks ( there was a distinct lack of paddles to Kayaks . ) the stand up boards ... Well there were no paddles and all boards lacked a complement of fins .... Some had none ( agreed that some people don't know what they are doing with these boards . We also misplaced a pair of women's shorts ... This was a drama to retrieve them ( when they where behind the bar ) no one seems to take ownership of looking for them and this created more drama . One the plus side the staff in the dining room where brilliant ... Mumsie and Apil Spring to mind . We still had a good time but we draw these details to your attention so you can make the experience better; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Alpine Lodge Motel; City: Hanmer Springs Canterbury Region South Island; Review: Just here for an overnight stay . This would been flash in its day ..... however time has moved on and this facility could do with a make over. The walls are thin enough to listen to the conversation in the neighbouring units .

Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Elkhart; City: Elkhart Indiana; Review: Not usually am I a normal Super 8 customer and this experience easily reminded me why. The staff including the 2nd shift and GM and wife the night of 11/12/10b were completey rude and actually very confrontational. Not after two minutes in our room which was a two bed standard room did we decide that this was in no way for us. The refridgerator was not operable until you found the secret switch, the tape job on the ceiling in the bathroom had failed from earlier in the day leaving the patch hanging at least six inches down exposing mold and deteriorating drywall. The bath tub had been extremely stained and the room was the size of a large closet, literally. Once we brought this to the attention of the second shift lady, she finished reading the paragraph of the book that she was into and said, "don't tell me about it, my manager will be in soon!" The manager did arrive about 10 minutes later with his wife and daughter and immediately became confrontational. To make the story short, once I explained to him that I was also a GM of a hotel company and that the room was unsatisfactory and we would like to check out he said no way. I told him fine we would return to the room but the whole experience had been terrible. His next comment was, "you have two minutes to get out!" This was shocking but I did say ok. He than said, "not you, your friends!" He inspected the room and than began to put blame of the condition of the room and bathroom on me. He told me that he was going to charge my card for the amount of the room and for all cost involving his earlier attempt on fixing the bathroom. I told him I would not and that I was leaving. He than proceeded to call the police on me. I told him I would be fine with this and that maybe they would come to a conclusion for us. Once I said this he hung the phone up and said that it was busy. Wow, what an experience!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Comfort Inn Suites Evansville Airport; City: Evansville Indiana; Review: We stayed at this hotel last weekend after our AC went out at home. Every employee at this hotel was amazing! They did everything they could to make sure our entire family was very comfortable. The property was clean, the beds were great, and the indoor pool was a nice extra. We will most certainly stay here again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Blytheville; City: Blytheville Arkansas; Review: Friendly courteous staff!! Two nice restaurants on site with friendly servers and good food. I had a two room suite that was really great to work in and relax. I was on the top floor and her a loud crash in the middle of the night and was unable to get back to a deep sleep but that was the only issue I experienced. Never found out what exactly it was but when I was leaving in the morning I noticed workers on the roof but failed to ask the question.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Augusta West; City: Augusta Georgia; Review: This was a service treat! Everyone at the hotel was great. There were two workers at the front desk who did not acknowledge me at all at check out but the evening staff was great. Very helpful and courteous. Went out of there way to be helpful. Room was clean and quiet as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Candlewood Suites Cape Girardeau; City: Cape Girardeau Missouri; Review: I would definetely return to this property. I love the layout of the room. Very easy to work, relax, and watch TV at the same time. Bed was very comfortable and all together it was quiet. However, it was like sleeping in your kitchen, the icemaker would dump ice throughout the night and wake you. I was very tired and under the weather so it was easy to get back to sleep.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Holiday Inn Poplar Bluff; City: Poplar Bluff Missouri; Review: I have stayed at this hotel several times over the past several months and they have been great. It is a pleasure to check in and the oversized room they put me in every time is not needed but much appreciated. I enjoy the work area and the swivel TV. Very close to the best dining Poplar Bluff has to offer. Keep up the good work!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn Savannah; City: Savannah Tennessee; Review: After being in the area it seemed a little behind in the times. Was unable to make a phone call anywhere in town on my cell. Verizon is my carrier and the lady at the hotel said Verizon not really in the area but AT&T was. The hotel is just a victim of its surroundings and definitely a victim of time. They gave out keycards offering a discount for the local Papa Johns which they did not recognize at all although the phone number and address was on the front of the keycard with a picture of papa john. Twilight Zone for sure!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Greenwood; City: Greenwood Indiana; Review: I stayed here for business. Good value and clean up to date appearance. I am not a needy guest but I did notice that there was never any staff present, especially the front desk. I had to make a noise every time I came up to get someone out of the back office. I would stay here again because of location for business.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Charleston Civic Center; City: Charleston West Virginia; Review: This was not a hotel I would choose to stay at again. The hotel had six floors and no quick way to get up and down from the sixth floor. The elevator was slow and the inspection certificate on the inside was expired by two months. It was the same for the rest of the property. The guestroom restroom was comparable to an interstate gas station bathroom. The breakfast was unappealing and the wifi did not work unless I sat by my entry door. It is what you would expect from a cheaply done renovation on a dated property.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Suites Lexington East Winchester Rd; City: Lexington Kentucky; Review: This property has all the bells and whistles IHG wants in this brand. It is modern, colorful, quiet, and near everything you could need. I would definitely recommend this property and stay again if I am in the area. Normally I don't take advantage of the breakfast included in my rate but this breakfast buffet looked appealing and was very good.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hurricane Mills Waverly; City: Hurricane Mills Tennessee; Review: This hotel is located six miles from the Loretta Lynn Ranch Property. It was quiet and peaceful and good to get some work completed. Not much around as far as entertainment and fine dining. However, there are some BBQ and Buffets located close that the locals rave about. I did not have a chance to try them out. Internet was fine and cleanliness was fair. Nothing really jumped out with the exception of the ground level windows opening up all the way. Seemed strange in these days.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Richmond Airport; City: Sandston Virginia; Review: Poorly Managed! This property seems to run a decent occupancy rate, however, every area of the hotel did not meet expectations. First, I was checked into a dirty occupied room. I understand this can happen but it was the response I received once I reported it to the front desk. The personnel at the desk was polite and sweet and did what they could to accommodate me but it was then when I figured out this could be a problematic stay...and it was! Billing Issues Maintenance Issues Staff Issues Management Issues Housekeeping Issues I experienced them all. I had to change rooms during my stay. The property was unable to fulfill their room block requirements for another party. I had multiple reservations set up for me after my original issue at check in. The executive HK was working the FD and did everything she could to make my situation right but was not given the resources to do so. Every employee wanted to throw reward points at me to make me happy but did not want to listen to me or make things better on my behalf according to me. Nobody had a nametag. The GM Amy Patel was wearing jeans and a sweatshirt during a full weekend. I was overcharged $40 due to the mix up but that was quickly fixed. I still have not received the points I was promised for my inconvenience. The biggest issue was the cleanliness and maintenance upkeep of the guest room and vending areas. POOR! Mildew, rust, and some sort of smudge in the bathtub I could feel until I showered elsewhere. Every light bulb in my room was different. There are three other hotels next door, pick one of those! I will consider switching to Hampton or Fairfield because of multiple experiences lately with this brand. This experience was the worst!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Owensboro Riverfront; City: Owensboro Kentucky; Review: This is a nice property with all the modern updates. Nice view of the Ohio River and Blue Bridge and very close to all the downtown attractions. Hot tub was out of order during our stay and the pool was kind of cold but the kids didn't mind much. Ashley at the Front Desk was amazing and very helpful!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: THE Tango Taipei NanShi; City: Zhongshan District Taipei; Review: There was no bar in the hotel but the lounge area was supported by the reception and room service staff. Always helpfull and everything was good. This was a business trip and both my colleague and i enjoyed the stay. WIFI was good.

I need WIFI in my travels and that was a disappointment as they said it was free but the access was awful unless i went to the breakfast table. This place is more like a B&B which is ok if you understand that. Not really my style.Fix these and it will be better: Eggs, WIFI, do a proper room service (need a check list me thinks!)

Title: Defiance: The Bielski Partisans; Author: Visit Amazon's Nechama Tec Page; Review: As an avid reader of non-fiction, Definace was a book I had trouble putting down. Ms. Tec did an excellent job of descriptively putting one in mind of the surroundings of the Belorussian woods. I was both heartened and saddened by reading this account of the extension of the Holocust to the eastern edge of old Poland. I belive that Ms. Tec did and excellent job in researching the memories of the survivors and telling their story. She is careful to properly analyze the problems associated with leadership of a diverse group while still respecting the tremendous job of saving over 1200 lives. I am inspired enough to want to now see the movie version.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius; Author: Visit Amazon's Sylvia Nasar Page; Review: Grand Pursuit is an easy reading study of the so called great economist of the 19th and 20th centuries. Nasar provides biographical sketches of each subject covered to some degree or the other depending on how she appears to rate the importance of each economist. For this reason, the book is somewhat lopsided with lots of information about people like Webb, Keynes and virtually nothing about people like Freidman. The ending section on Sen seemed to hardly justify his inclusion versus almost all of the other economist and associated political ideologs such as Robinson. The very last chapter is an obvious afterthought trying to tie 2011 into the historical events covered in the book and doing so poorly. This is really an enjoyable read. It is will documented and reminds us that we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past if we fail to study history. In fact, this book has prompted me to take on Hayek's "Road to Serfdom" and probably start working through Keynes works. To me, the success of any author of non-fiction is to provoke further study of the subject. With this in mind, Grand Pursuit is a good starting place for further reading on economical theory. It is not the beef but rather an appetizer.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Elsie - Adventures of an Arizona Schoolteacher 1913-1916; Author: Visit Amazon's Barbara Anne Waite Page; Review: Elsie is the delightful recounting of three years of life and adventure in rural Arizona in the early 20th century. Barbara Anne Waite has crafted a wonderful history of a teacher's life through the use of letters and diaries left by her grandmother. Elsie was adventurous, kind, and obviously a wonderful teacher dedicated to her students and to her craft. Barbara Anne Waite has some wonderful comments at the tail end of the book on the importance of decommenting our own history for future generations. I have found Ms. Waite a very approachable wonderful author who brings alive history and the people within it. I believe the mark of any really good book is that you want more of the same. So, I am off on my next true adventure through Bud and Me, the Adventure of the Abernathy Boys set in almost the same time frame.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey: The Lost Legacy of Highclere Castle; Author: Visit Amazon's Countess of Fiona Carnarvon Page; Review: Ths past weekend I happened to catch a couple of episodes of Downton Abbey on Detroit PBS from my motel unit in Denare Beach, Sask. Canada while vacationing. The show lead me to an interest in learning more about "Downton Abbey" which lead to me to the excellent biography of Almina Herbert (Lady Carnarvon), the wife of the Fifth Earl of Porchester. The real story is much more interesting compared to the fictional people involved with Downton Abbey. The history and operation of the real Highclere Castle including Lord Carnorvon's discovery of the tomb of King Tut with his associate Howard Carter are much more facinating than any fictional account of the Castle's occupants. This book is well written and easily read. The book does an excellent job of pointing to the all important fact of estate ownership and management as an obligation of all its owners. Almina Herbert was greatly aided as an owner's wife by the wealth of her family, the Rothchilds. The book provides an interesting glimpse into the life of Arthur Rothchild as the loving father of an important illegimate dauther, Almina. The Carnavon's relied heavily on the wealth of Arthur Rothchild to support their extravagant yet charitable lifestyle. Through the assitance of Rothchild, Almina was able to establish three hospitals during her lifetime. Her interest in nursing is a tribute to her interest in service to mankind. For anyone interested in the late Victorian, Edwardian and early modern English era history, this book is an excellent window into the life of the priviledged few of English society as well as those who served them in their everyday life. Once again, true life is more interesting than fiction. A truly enjoyable read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The War of the Copper Kings: Greed, Power, and Politics; Author: C B Glasscock; Review: I always wondered about the origin of western movies bent for violence. The War of the Copper Kings provides an excellent insite into the real wild old West. Within the opening chapters of the book, the author tells of bad guys taking over the town and then the local folks deciding they have had enough of the bad guys, forming a vigilance committee, arresting the bad guys, trying them and then hanging them. That's the wild west of the movies. The book never lets up on tales of conflict between the good guys, the bad guys and the filthy rich guys. The book is easy reading and very intersting. I decided to read the book after a couple of visits to Butte. I had no reference into why there would be so many head frames in one location until reading the book and realizing what a wild and whooly place Butte was in its hey day. The Butte of 2012 really is ghost of its former glory. The book was originally written while many of the actual characters of the mining camp days were still living, albiet, as elderly gentlemen with vivid memories of wilder days. The author does an outstanding job of making the conflicts between the three wealthiest Butte developers, Daly, Clark and Heinze come alive. If you are looking for an interesting history of making wealth in the gilded age, this is an excellent book on a small part of the wealth of America at the beginning of the 20th century. This book also ties into the greed and dark history of the Standard Oil Company. For more on the tycoons of this era, I would also reccommend "The Tycoons" by Charles Morris who briefly touches on some of the relationships of the tycoons and Butte's history.The Tycoons: How Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Jay Gould, and J. P. Morgan Invented the American Supereconomy; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Payoff: Why Wall Street Always Wins; Author: Visit Amazon's Jeff Connaughton Page; Review: While I find Jeff Connaughton's politics abhorant, his message is powerful. This book is for anyone who has a 401K, IRA, owns common stock or has an insurance policy. Mr. Connaughton spells out the risk involved with investing through Wall Street. His work with Senator Ted Kaufman of Deleware on trying to regulate high speed trading and attempting to prod the Justice Department and the SEC into prosecuting fraud causes against the crooks on Wall Street show the complete frustration with the inertia of the bloated government agencies. As a side bar, Connaughton goes to length on describing the corruption of fund raising as it relates to the lack of balance for representation of common people and wealthy individuals and corporations. In addition, he discusses the absolutely corrupting role lobbyist play in the Washington world, especially as it relates to the obscene fees lobbyist charge for access to verying elected representatives. Connaughgton represents what appears to be a typical policy wonk who became so caught up in the Washington machine that he literally sold his sole to the devil, so to speak. After a lengthy career working for Vice President Biden, it appears that Connaughton came to the conclusion that he had been used and never was truly appreciated for his contribution to Biden's success. While I could never agree with Connaughton's politics, I could not put down this book as it has a compelling message about the corruption of the power of Wall Street bankers and brokers on our representative government. The book does make a compelling case for effective regulation of Wall Street. While not clearly making a case, it does point out that the Dodd-Frank reform bill totally fails to provide the needed regulatory mechanisms to regulate Wall Street of 2012. I had the feeling that Connaughton holds Chris Dodd in the same contempt I do. I believe that the takeaway message of this book is that everyone should become involved in pressuring Congress into real reform of Wall Street and to demand that government officials and staffers should have a mandatory time break between government service and working as lobbyist (slow down the revolving door).; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Titan : The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.; Author: Visit Amazon's Ron Chernow Page; Review: After completing a history of Butte, MT, I wished to gain a better understanding of Standard Oil's role in the formation of Anaconda Copper. When I found that Mr. Chernow had written a biography of John D. Rockefeller, I knew I would learn how Standard Oil and Anaconda Copper fit together. Titan did not disappoint. The nexus of Standard Oil to Anaconda was actually through the investment of individual officers of Standard Oil and not the actual "evil" corporation. In addition, John D. Rockefeller had literally nothing to do with the Anaconda creation as he had already "retired" from the daily management of Standard Oil. The Butte history I recently read was written in about 1933 and did a poor job of explanning the Standard Oil nexus. Ron Chernow is a thorough researcher and provides substantial detail in bringing his subjects to life. I ratesd this book as a four star selection only in as much as some of the details of Rockefellers children and grandchildern became a little tedious. I am not sure I really was looking for as detailed a history of all the decendant's nerouses. Major learnings from Mr. Chernows work were 1. Rockefeller's strick adherence to fundamentalist Baptist faith. 2. Rockefeller's role in developing the Mesabi Iron Range, something I knew nothing about before reading this book. 3. The role of questionable ethics used in growing Standard Oil and not violation of law. 4. The fact that Rockefeller made almost all of his petroleum fortune before the "invention" of the automobile and subsequent demand for gasoline. Kerosene for lighting drove his fortune. 5. The role John D. Rockefeller, Jr. played in establishing Grand Tenton, Smokey Mountain, Acadia National Parks and Colonial Williamsburg. 6. The life view John D. Rockefeller had on philanthropy as he really had a life long commitment to spend his wealth for the benefit of others. He died with an estate of less than $30 million dollars at 97 years of age, about 2 1/2 years short of his life-long goal of living to 100 having given away over $500 million (estimated at $30 billion in current dollars). 7. Rockefeller's role in the creation of the University of Chicago and its early growth to one of the country's elite schools. As with previous Chernow biographies I have read, this book left me with a feeling that I had gain a pretty exhaustive view of the man and his times.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Three Against the Wilderness; Author: E. Collier; Review: It is hard to believe that this true story took place in the twentieth century. Eric Collier was still using horses and wagon for transportation long after most Canadians had switched to cars and trucks. His lengthy struggle to reestablish a healthy beaver population on his trap line property is a true account of ecology done the right way. Mr. Collier was a gifted outdoor writer who shared his love of the outdoors with all of us.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Your Words, Your Story; Author: Visit Amazon's Cynthia Harrison Page; Review: Ms. Harrison's instructional book is geared more toward just getting started as a writer as opposed to preparing someone to write excellent autobiography. I read this book after reading Your Life A legacy, which I found an excellent resource compared to Your Words, Your Story. Too much of this book is geared to writing fiction and poetry versus the title, which strongly hints of preparing autobiographical works. The best section of this book deals with the use of critique for improving writing. For this reason, this book has value for all beginning writers.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Rebellion: The History of England from James I to the Glorious Revolution; Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Ackroyd Page; Review: Finished this, the third in a series of histories of the English people. Ackroyd is an excellent writer who brings history alive. There is a balance between the history of royal dynasty and the happenings of the common man in Ackroyd's books. I sense that he has tried to be objective and not side with one party over others in the many struggles for power and control that took part during the period of this book. It really depicts all of the worst and probably the best nature of man during this period of upheaval. Ackroyd does weave the advances of science and industrial growth into the overall history of England. He deals at great length with the issue of religious disputes and their role in English history. As one who grew up in the USA, this aspect of English history had never been highlighted to the extent Ackroyd does. It truly helps one gain an understanding for many of today's continuing prejudices and practices of discrimination. Hopefully, Mr. Ackroyd will continue with a history of William and Mary through at least the reign Queen Victoria.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Servants: A Downstairs History of Britain from the Nineteenth Century to Modern Times; Author: Visit Amazon's Lucy Lethbridge Page; Review: After wading through the entire Poldark series by Winston Garham and watching the pre-season Downton Abbey shows, I decided it was time to learn a little more about British history as it relates to the early 20th century and the Edwardian era. In scanning through the Amazon offerings for history of this period I came up "Servants: A Downsstairs History of Britain." The book is a well researched accounting of life as a domestic servant during the late 19th and 20th centuries in Britain. The author provides a fairly unbiased analytical study of the lives of those who worked in domestic service. It delves into the sociological backgrounds of many people involved in domestic service. The book contrasts service to country estates versus urban service. The book actually has a somewhat surprise ending for a North American reader in that domestic service is still very much a part of early 21st century London via the use of substantial immigrants from third world countries filling the traditional role of household domestic servants to modern Londeners. As the reviews published at the end of the book note, move over Downton Abbey, the real world of the downstairs help is found in this book. I would highly recommend this book to students of history and sociology. While somewhat depressing in its detail of servitude, the book seems to really portray the life of those who strove to provide truly seamless service to the priviledged.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Pouring Light - Layering Transparent Watercolor; Author: Visit Amazon's Jean H. Grastorf Page; Review: I've been fortunate enough to have taken a watercolor workshop with Jean Grastorf, and her book is almost as good as being in her presence and watching her work. The art itself is worth the purchase price, and Jean's step-by-step instructions are lucid and easy to follow. I especially appreciate Jean's emphasis on compostion and value studies. Her book--as well as her watercolor technique--are about much more than pouring watercolor. This book would be an excellent addition to any artist's library.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar(TM) Cookbook; Author: Peter H. Gott; Review: This cookbook provides good recipes for healthy eating. As my husband and I are trying to cut down on white flour and sugar in our diets, I've used this cookbook several times to try new recipes. One recipe--for a spicy cornbread using corn meal and oatmeal is quite good, and I'll make it again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Unexpected News: Reading the Bible with Third World Eyes; Author: Visit Amazon's Robert McAfee Brown Page; Review: I read Unexpected News: Reading the Bible with Third World Eyes as part of a 30-week JustFaith program. We read 13 books in total, and this was one of my favorites. Robert McAfee Brown redefines "poor," pointing out with great clarity that no matter how much those of us in developed countries complain, we are rich in terms of anyone in the Third World. Brown takes Bible stories--the Prodigal Son, for instance--and interprets them differently than we might have heard in church. More good news about this book--it has a sense of humor. Brown made me laugh out loud more than once, especially as he dealt with the issues of women in religion. This book would be a wonderful Bible study addition for anyone, or an excellent read for any individual interested in an insight into seeking justice for those who possess none.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Everafter War (The Sisters Grimm, Book 7); Author: Visit Amazon's Michael Buckley Page; Review: My granddaughter loves the Sisters Grimm series, so when there's a new book, I buy it for her. She says Book Seven is a good one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Knucklehead: Tall Tales and Almost True Stories of Growing up Scieszka; Author: Visit Amazon's Jon Scieszka Page; Review: I am very familiar with the author's work and own several of his books in my children's library at home. When I read the reviews/plot for Knuckleheads, I knew my grandson would love it. I wasn't there when the book arrived, but the word I received from his parents is that he sat down immediately and read his way through half the book--laughing loudly--before he took a break to do other things. It's a boy's book, evidently, with lots of belching and boys getting into mischief. I'm glad the author has hit another home run with his books for kids.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Freedom; Author: Visit Amazon's Jonathan Franzen Page; Review: I found The Corrections so tedious that I read from the beginning to the middle, didn't care at all about the characters, and then finished the book by reading from the last page to the middle--where I had previously stopped. The book was better that way. Not great--but better. Franzen's newest book is just as tedious--the introspection goes on and on and on and on--but the characters are at least a bit more interesting. Get the book from your library if you want to read it, but don't spend your money on it. I can wait another nine years for another Franzen book.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Flash and Bones: (Temperance Brennan 14); Author: Visit Amazon's Kathy Reichs Page; Review: I'm a big fan of Kathy Reichs and her books--I've read all of them--but this one was a disappointment. Read it, by all means, if you're a fan, but don't waste your money by buying it. I found the plot to be contrived and erratic, and I didn't ever become completely engrossed in the story. I bought it for my iPad, but now I wish I'd just borrowed it from the library. I expected better from this author.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Red Mist (A Scarpetta Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Patricia Cornwell Page; Review: I was a fan of Cornwell's early books; I found them to be interesting and well written. However, I've not purchased one of her books for several years. If I want to read one, I get it at the library--which is what I did with this one. I wonder if she's even writing her own books any more or just providing a plot line to ghost writers and letting them finish the product. For example, at the beginning of this novel, Scarpetta is in her kitchen with her husband, and the plot involves lengthy descriptions of what she's cooking and the cooktop on which she is cooking it. Long, wandering sentences. "Who cares?" sentences. The early Scarpetta novels aren't even written in the same voice. I read 3/4 of the way through the book and then skipped to the end and read the last two chapters. I didn't have any more time to waste. The early Scarpetta novels were tightly written, and I didn't have to gag through silly kitchen commercials before getting to the meat of the story. It's almost as if she's being paid by the word, and many words could have been eliminated from this novel. I am again disappointed. Borrow this book from a friend or from your local public library, but don't waste your money by purchasing it.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Before the Poison; Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Robinson Page; Review: I've read most of Robinson's books, and I've enjoyed all of them. This book, however, was a bit of a disappointment. With Inspector Banks, I read about good Scotch whiskey, over and over. In this book, it was the main character's musical preferences--over and over--almost as though the writer had a word count which he had to achieve. I think the plot is contrived, and any sympathy I felt for the characters was negated to some extent by the hokey plot twist at the end of the novel--information which could have been presented at the beginning of the novel and which would have explained the main character's angst and given his search more meaning. Robinson's a good writer, though, and I will continue to read and purchase his books. My husband loved this book--called it "a good yarn." He gives it 4 1/2 stars.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Portrait of a Spy; Author: Visit Amazon's Daniel Silva Page; Review: I have now read all of Silva's books which have Gabriel Allon as the main character, and I will continue to read them. This book--some of which takes place in Jerusalem--inspired me to read one of Silva's sources for the story--Jerusalem: A Biography--because I needed to learn more about the history of the city in which some of the novel takes place. If you've enjoyed Silva's books in the past, you will enjoy this one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Beautiful Mystery: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Louise Penny Page; Review: I have read all of the Inspector Gamache books by Louise Penny, and this is another good one. I think it bogs down in the middle a bit with too much info/description and not enough character development, but it's still a very good book and worth the read. I found it interesting that the book ends in such a way that parts of the plot (and I'm not telling which parts!) will be continued in the next book, and I don't remember that technique being a component of other Gamache books before. I'm looking forward to reading the next book to find out what happens.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gone Girl; Author: Visit Amazon's Gillian Flynn Page; Review: I'd read the reviews and I'd seen the book on the Best Seller list, so I purchased it for my iPad and Kindle. I titled my review "Disappointed" because I was. I had hoped to find at least ONE character with redeeming qualities--one character whose fate I actually cared about, but I didn't. My friends tease me because if I'm frustrated with a book, I'll stop reading and read the final two or three chapters before I decide if I actually want to go back and finish the entire book. I did that with this book, and I was still disappointed. The characters are without character, for the most part, and the ending is as bleak as the beginning. A week or two later, I did finish the book; that is, I read the middle parts that I'd skipped previously--and I was still disappointed. I won't buy another book by this author.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Racketeer; Author: Visit Amazon's John Grisham Page; Review: I always enjoy reading John Grisham's books, and this book is no exception. Grisham has the ability to create flawed characters--sometimes badly flawed--who are nevertheless compelling, interesting, and likable. It also seems to me that every time the lawyer Grisham gets something up his craw about the law that seriously bothers him, the writer Grisham goes to work. The same is true in this novel, I think. I figured that the good--but flawed--main character was going to win in the end--Grisham's good guys do--but the ending is even more complex and compelling than I had anticipated. The Racketeer is a good read--and a quick read.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Watching the Dark: An Inspector Banks Novel (Inspector Banks Novels); Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Robinson Page; Review: I am a big fan of Robinson's books; I've read all of the Inspector Banks series and most of the books written prior to that series. This newest Banks book from Robinson is another good one and worth the purchase.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: An Abundance Of Katherines; Author: Visit Amazon's John Green Page; Review: This book is a thoughtful look at teenagers who don't quite "fit" into the standard mold. Two friends leave on a journey to discover something about the world and end up discovering something about themselves. Excellent read. Very well written. My granddaughter (13) and I both loved the book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Original Sin (Adam Dalgliesh Mystery Series #9); Author: Visit Amazon's P. D. James Page; Review: P. D. James write the perfect British detective fiction--beautiful use of language, clever plots, interesting characters--and she does it with very little blood and gore. She's a very proper British lady, and I love her books.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Life After Life: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Kate Atkinson Page; Review: I have read several of Kate Atkinson's books--and I have really enjoyed them--and I've especially enjoyed her sense of humor in her previous books--even though the books themselves are not comedic. However, Life After Life is deadly serious--no pun intended. It is the ultimate "What If?" book. Eighty-three percent of the way through the book (I read it on my iPad), Teddy says to Ursula, "What if we had a chance to do it again and again, until we finally did get it right. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Ursula replies, "I think it would be exhausting." And again, closer to the end of the novel: "Love of fate. Whatever happens to you, embrace it, the good and the bad equally...." I like this book; I'm glad I read it, and I'm glad I purchased it. I may have to read it again sometime. There are two reasons it didn't get four stars from me: I think Ursula's sojourn and life in Germany is a contrivance and something out of character for her, and I think the ending of the book is an afterthought. By the time I reached the end of the novel, I did not need new "What If" sections. Without giving anything away to those of you who want to read it, (and it's a good read), I could have done without the last 20-30 pages or so.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: This Is Where I Leave You: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Jonathan Tropper Page; Review: I enjoyed this novel, and it was a quick read. I don't think it would ever be on my "must read" list. I read this book right after reading "The Goldfinch," so almost anything would pale by comparison.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Goldfinch: A Novel (Pulitzer Prize for Fiction); Author: Visit Amazon's Donna Tartt Page; Review: Remarkable book. It still stays with me many weeks after finishing it. The book is troubling, interesting, sometimes gut-wrenching--but even the most flawed characters have redeeming values that kept me reading and hoping for their success. My husband read the book after I did--on my recommendation--and he, too, found it to be compelling.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Children of the Revolution: An Inspector Banks Novel (Inspector Banks Novels); Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Robinson Page; Review: I've read all if the Inspector Banks novels, and while I liked this latest book, I didn't love it the way I've loved some of the previous books. Banks himself was a bit tired and kind of whiny in this novel, and the other characters were not particularly interesting or compelling. I'm not saying don't read it; I'm just saying that if you've read the previous novels, this latest one may be a bit if a disappointment.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Midnight in Europe; Author: ; Review: I've read many of Alan Furst's books and enjoyed all of them. "Midnight in Europe," however, I didn't enjoy quite as much as the others because it is more of a character study of the main character than a novel of Europe prior to the outbreak of WWII. Good book, though. I'm glad I purchased it, and I will continue to read Furst's books.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Silkworm (A Cormoran Strike Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Robert Galbraith Page; Review: Good read. Rowling develops interesting characters and places them in interesting situations. Strike is a challenging and sympathetic character. I look forward to reading book 3--and I am sure there will be a book 3.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Long Way Home; Author: Visit Amazon's Robin Pilcher Page; Review: I've read most of the Louise Penny books featuring Chief Inspector Gamache, and, while I liked reading the book, I don't think it measures up to Penny's previous novels featuring Gamache. I think the plot is contrived and far-fetched, and Penny's narrative language tries to be too clever at times. I don't know if I'd purchase this book again; perhaps borrow it from the public library.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mr. Mercedes; Author: Visit Amazon's Stephen King Page; Review: Another good book by Mr. King. It's a thriller, and I enjoyed it. If you are interested in Stephen King and the writing process, my favorite book by him is "On Writing: A Memoir of the Task." If you purchase the audio version, you can hear him read his own book. It's non-fiction, but it's fascinating. [url]; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Novel Habits of Happiness (Isabel Dalhousie Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Alexander McCall Smith Page; Review: Lots of talk; not much plot.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Haunting of Hill House; Author: Visit Amazon's Shirley Jackson Page; Review: I'm familiar with Shirley Jackson's work, but I'd never read "The Haunting of Hill House," and so I did. I found it to be a bit boring, a bit ponderous, and not as good as some of Jackson's short stories. It was just OK. I think many of Poe's short stories contain more "horror" than this book by Jackson. Just my opinion.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Brain Storms: The Race to Unlock the Mysteries of Parkinson's Disease; Author: Jon Palfreman; Review: This book is well researched, well documented, and, since the author has Parkinson's disease himself, the information brings with it a very interesting perspective. Excellent book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Japanese Lover; Author: Visit Amazon's Isabel Allende Page; Review: Allende writes another good book about the permanence of love and the importance of family. Japanese Lover is not as good as "The House of the Spirits," but it's a good read, and my husband and I both enjoyed it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fool Me Once; Author: Visit Amazon's Harlan Coben Page; Review: I did not enjoy this Coben novel as much as I have enjoyed others. Character development was superficial and the plot contrived. Borrow this one from your library if you want to read it.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Daniel Silva Thriller 6; Author: Visit Amazon's Daniel Silva Page; Review: Excellent read. Almost too true-to-life. Silva also introduces a new character who may return in the next book. He introduces a romance. He creates a new villain who is the epitome of amorality. And Gabriel gets a new job. My suggestion with Silva: always read the prologue/forward and the author's notes at the end of the book. I love that In his Author's Notes, Silva writes about his characters as if they were real people--and I'm pretty sure he wishes they were.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Great Reckoning: A Novel (Chief Inspector Gamache Novel); Author: Visit Amazon's Louise Penny Page; Review: I've read all of the Inspector Gamache books, and I think this latest book is one of Louise Penny's best efforts. As Gamache ages, he also grows in wisdom and is tying up loose end at the finish of his career. I'm sure he'll be around to solve a few more cases, and I hope he continues to grow in wisdom.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Conclave; Author: Visit Amazon's Robert Harris Page; Review: I am a cradle Catholic and educated in Catholic schools 1-12, and I enjoyed this book. I found the rituals to be well described and the characters to be compelling. I did not give this novel four stars because I find the ending to be contrived--interesting but contrived. It's not that I would have preferred a different ending; it's that I would have preferred more extensive character development. And that's all I'll say because you need to read the novel for yourself and find out. Harris has carefully research the novel and provides an extensive bibliography. Enjoy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hag-Seed (Hogarth Shakespeare); Author: Visit Amazon's Margaret Atwood Page; Review: I love Margaret Atwood. She has a wicked good sense of humor. This novel--based loosely on Shakespeare's "The Tempest"--is thoroughly enjoyable. Because I am familiar with Shakespeare's play, having both read and taught it, everything made sense from the very beginning. If you haven't read "The Tempest," Atwood provides a summary of the play at the end of the novel, so you may want to read that section first and then start the novel. I also love that most of the novel takes place in a prison, where the protagonist immerses prisoners in literature and theater while seeking his own revenge.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Bitter Season (Kovac and Liska Series); Author: Visit Amazon's Tami Hoag Page; Review: It was ok. Very violent, and it seemed to me that some of the violence was gratuitous.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Camino Island: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's John Grisham Page; Review: I kept reading that this book was a departure from Grisham's usual work--and it is. It's still has its mysterious elements, but the voice and style are different from the other (many) Grishams I've read. This work of fiction at times reads like a documentary. I enjoyed everything about Camino.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Dying Detective: A Mystery; Author: Visit Amazon's Leif GW Persson Page; Review: I enjoyed this book immensely. It is complex, well written, has well developed characters, and an intriguing plot. It's also a poignant look at a complex protagonist.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Glass Houses (Chief Inspector Gamache); Author: Visit Amazon's Louise Penny Page; Review: I've read all the Inspector Gamache books, and this one, while a good read, is probably my least favorite. The chronology of the story is sometimes hard to follow, and I think the plot is overly dramatic. At the end of the novel, it's almost as though Penny is trying to bring it--finally--to a quick conclusion after many back and forth scene/time changes. I'm glad I read it. I'm not sure I'm glad I purchased it.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Blue Ocean Strategy, Expanded Edition: How to Create Uncontested Market Space and Make the Competition Irrelevant; Author: Visit Amazon's W. Chan Kim Page; Review: Just finished the new improved version of BOS. I confess I am a true believer in the philosophy, concepts, methods and tools. For so many of our clients it really worked. They created new market space and aligned their profit, people and value strategies and built new businesses. Value innovation at its best. What the authors did in this new version is to take it to the next stage in their thinking-- and mine as well. Just a great book to read. Thanks; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Thanks for a great journey.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blue Ocean Shift: Beyond Competing - Proven Steps to Inspire Confidence and Seize New Growth; Author: Visit Amazon's W. Chan Kim Page; Review: As a Blue Ocean Strategist I was thrilled to read Blue Ocean Shift. For many people Blue Ocean Strategy was about those other companies that somehow saw unmet needs and nonusers and found ways to create new market space. What was missing was the how to find a blue ocean and then implement it. Blue Ocean Shift is designed to do just that turn great theory and methods and tools into a way of doing it. There are several areas my clients find of particular importance. First, bringing in a consultant to change an organization is rarely a good solution. Rene and Chan have great insights into why the outsider does not build the trust and engagement that is needed to significantly change an organization. Converting the team themselves into agents of change works far better. In part people hate to change. So even when they say the words they don't always know what those changes actually mean, at least for them. THen there is the entire section on those recurring hurdles. The four hurdles, cognitive, motivational, resource and political, are the endless nemesis of Blue Ocean Strategic changes. People are just fascinating. They know the BOS is a great idea. They know they will be fulfilling unmet needs with value and innovation. They get it. Then they start throwing up the hurdles. You might as well begin with those hurdles in mind. In fact, begin with the end in mind. Realize that the execution should be consider with the strategy process not afterwards. Then enjoy the journey. Every time we have a client find their aha moment and see things in new ways they are so excited with what was often right before them. Blue Ocean Strategy is becoming essential in todays highly competitive red ocean world. You should take the time to read Blue Ocean Shift and try the process. Those opportunities are all around you. And the pain points just need you to help solve them.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Garmin Belt Clip (Spine Mount) (010-11734-20); Brand: Garmin; Review: Was tired of trying to keep my gps attached to my backpack using an elastic shoulder strap. GPS kept falling out. Bought this and it stays in place now. Only downside is I have to remove the clip to change batteries or put the unit in a ram mount. Other than that it is a good investment to keep your gps in place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ArmorSuit Garmin eTrex GPS Screen Protector Full Coverage MilitaryShield Anti-Bubble Screen Protector Compatible w Garmin eTrex GPS; Brand: ArmorSuit; Review: Watched the video before installing. Tough screen protector. Had some scratches on my screen before I installed this and they totally disappeared. It's held up well to hiking in the brush and if it fails on me I'll test the lifetime replacement warranty.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Samsung EVO 64GB 48/MB/s Micro SDXC Memory Card with Adapter up to (MB-MP64DA/AM); Brand: Samsung; Review: Wife bought 2 of these cards for our Galaxy S5 phones. Both cards crapped out after about 2 months. Can't return them since it's past the return period and there are photos and files on the card we still need to recover. Thanks for selling us crap Amazon.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: amFilm iPad Mini Glass Screen; Brand: amFilm; Review: After being contacted by customer service they offered a free replacement. The replacement that arrived had no blemishes in it. Aside from the original issues listed below it is a good product. After removing the first one I received I decided to put it to the test. I tried to scratch it with a metal pick and it did not scratch it. Dropped quarters on it from 5 feet and it did not break the protector. Overall it is pretty solid and should hold up well. *original review* The good things were that it has tabs to help align the protector when installing and it is a decent quality screen protector. 3 stars because, it is cut to almost the exact same size as the screen so it is really difficult to align correctly without it riding up on the bezel and there is no cutout for the camera.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Veho Muvi X-Lapse Time Lapse Accessory | 360 Photography | iPhone Accessories | Samsung Accessories | Muvi KX-Series; Brand: Veho; Review: This is a great waterproof case for your camera. Has held up well in the surf. Just memorize all of the buttons tocontrol functions of your camera and you're good to go. Biggest complaint is that it does not have the ability to attach to any accessories without buying a gopro tripod adapter. The factory adapter for the camera will not work with this case.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: italian sausage pasta; Review: FANTASTIC! Made as written but used leftover basil-artichoke chicken sausage so I didn't throw that in until the 1/2 hour simmer part.

Title: Her Mother's Shadow (The Keeper Trilogy); Author: Visit Amazon's Diane Chamberlain Page; Review: I can always rely on Diane Chamberlain's books to entertain.
