The International Hotel, London

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I don’t know how this hotel rates as a four star. The service was a terrible. The concierge was uninformed about nearly everything I asked him and was very rude and acted put out at having to help at all. When I asked for my bags he handed them to me over the counter and [...]

Ramada Inn Bangor, Bangor, ME

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Overall the rooms were clean as well as the rest of the motel. Unfortunately, the bar attached to the motel is a priority over the hotel. Saturday night we returned to our room, located in front of the motel. Unfortunately, the only parking spot we could find was all the way out back of the [...]

Fitzgeralds Casino Las Vegas, NV

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Great bell service but the pool was a postage stamp adjacent to a city street, separated by a cinder block wall, with the only access through the taxi drive. Pool was closed so we didn’t use it, but were the weather warmer we would like to have a nicer place to relax. Elevator “dropped” and [...]

The Trump is a brand new hotel. First, the basics: not surprisingly, it’s designed to reflect an over-the-top air of ritziness that often crosses over into gaudiness. The lobby is large and opulent. My room was comfortable, albeit designed more for decor than function. (Operative words…opulent and gaudy.) Room service was decent, nothing stellar. The [...]

Hooters Casino Hotel, Las Vegas, NV

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

My husband and I love going to Vegas! We like to go there every six months and try staying at different hotels. Unfortunately we decided to stay at Hooters on this visit and our stay was not as we expected it would be. The first night that we stayed there, we noticed that in the [...]

River Park Hotel & Suites, Miami Beach, FL

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I was very dissapointed in this hotel. I searched before I booked… and the hotel looked beautiful, but when we got there we were very dissapointed. We were suppose to have smoking room, no ashtrays, called the desk for ashtray and extra towels… NEVER got them after a hour and a half wait. The room [...]

From the website, the hotel is beautiful. The outside is well maintained. The lobby was nicely decorated. It was relatively quiet. My first reaction was that this hotel was going to be great. Upon entering the room, I noticed an unusal odor. It smelled like a mix of stale cigarettes and cleaning chemicals. The bathroom [...]

If you want to stay in a star hotel looking for experiencing that level of service, DON’T GO HERE. They charge you so much money for a motel 6 experience. Paid 710$ for a two day stay, and had the following experience 1. After the first night at the hotel, realized the airconditioner just made [...]

The location was frightening. The parking was a ghastly $32 a night and the hotel was not comfortable. The lobby is beautiful…and that’s about as far as it goes. We asked for a king and we got two doubles. We were told they could not offer us a king until the next day, although we [...]

The staff at this hotel were very helpful given the facility. The hotel was fully booked when we arrived. Room in which we stayed had a wet & moldy carpet where water had leaked in under the door. Further, the internet access wasn’t. The room was changed after the second day and we found a [...]
