Congress Plaza Hotel, Chicago, IL

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I used to live in Chicago and know the Michigan Ave area well, so I chose this hotel for its convenience to the train and the park. As a seasoned traveler I also realized that you pretty much get what you pay for when it comes to hotels. I knew this was an older property, [...]

The Allerton Hotel is overpriced and provides little bang for your buck. On arrival I had to wait a quarter of an hour before my room was made up. The six+ lifts in the hotel provide nothing but long periods of waiting. This may be caused in some degree by the fact that of all [...]

Emerald Shores Resort, Daytona Beach, FL

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I chose the hotel because it was one of the newer ones on the beach. The positives were the room size, it had a private balcony, and it was right on the beach. The negatives had to do with poor quality. The walls were uneven and had a lot of scuff marks on them, the [...]

Bermuda House, Daytona Beach, FL

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I have never stayed in such a filthy room before. There were quite a few problems: 1. Walls were dirty; paint was chipped 2. Stove was rusty 3. Bath vent was rusty, very dusty and did not work 4. Bath wall and ceiling had hair stuck to them 5. The worst problem was the sliding [...]

This hotel announces it’s “personality”. What it fails to mention is the fact that it’s situated in a pretty bad neighborhood, and that you will probably step over a drunk or two on your way in. There is no breakfast or wireless internet, so the only thing you can really do there is sleep and [...]

Heritage Marina Hotel, San Francisco

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

You get less for what you pay for in “The Heritage Marina Hotel”. After driving 6 1?2 hours we finally arrive to the hotel to find out that the two double bed I requested was really a 1 king bed. No problem. They change me to another room with two double beds so I and [...]

Castleberry Inn & Suites in Atlanta, GA

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

The outward appearance of the Castleberry Inn & Suites in Atlanta, Ga was very misleading. The building and the ajoining buildings were very nice looking on the outisde, the ajoining restaraunt was very, very nice inside and out with wonderful food, But once you entered the hotel, you could tell something was wrong. There was [...]

Royal Scot Hotel, Kings Cross, London, UK

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

This is part of Travelodge and is a disgrace to the name.
It always had a bad name but I thought it would be updated when Travelodge took it over. WRONG!
Nothing has happened, it is a scruffy dump, stay here at your peril.
Our toilet broke and flooded our bathroom. We told the staff and they just [...]

Sun Suites of Gwinnett Hotel, Duluth, GA

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I stayed in Duluth, Ga at the Sun Suites of Gwinnett Hotel and it was completely horrible. I have never had to complain about a hotel stay before now, I would not recomend a stay at this hotel because I was not satisfied. I had to ask for a roll of toilet tissue, even after [...]
