Jumping waaaaaay ahead in my reviews to bestow the Big 5 0 0 upon a hotel stay that brings back nothing but pleasant memories: the Aston Maui Kaanapali Villas in Lahaina, HI.

I think the Executive Hotel Vintage Park was under another name or ownership (Omni?) when we stayed here a few years back. This was one of the nicest hotels I've ever lodged in, my boyfriend and I still talk about it! As noted by all the other…More »

2.5 Stars in reality

We picked this Holiday Inn because it isn't very expensive and is conveniently located.  The room was a decent size and clean.

PROS:
-- Recycling bin in the room. Go Canada!
-- Easy to get downtown; we did it by car and bus.

2.5 Stars

I blame my dislike of this hotel on Long Beach, WA. In spite of promises of nearby beaches, museums, state parks, restaurants, shops and other tourist attractions, we found Long Beach to be rather dull. It was also cold, windy and rainy.…More »

I don't have unusually high standards for hotels, and Holiday Inn Express neither exceeded nor disappointed.  It's a medium hotel, and I guess I'd stay there again.  Pros: The staff was friendly and helpful.  The room was spacious, equipped w/ fridge…More »

Like most hotels I can afford to stay in, the Airport Comfort Inn & Suites was just OK. No dead hookers under the bed, but not exactly top o the pops. Decent sized room and bathroom. Very comfortable bed! Fridge and microwave are always appreciated!…More »

3.0 star rating

The Monarch Hotel is not terrible but barely decent. We booked it cause it was cheap and we got what we paid for. Street parking is metered. You probably can't find overnight parking anywhere, not that you'd want to. We left the car in the auto shop…More »

4.0 star rating
  11/29/2009

We stayed at Club Quarters while in town for Rock the Bells a couple years ago. My boyfriend worked for WAMU at the time so we probably got a special rate. We also had a really big room -- I'd dare say a suite -- so unlike most of the reviews I can't…More »

I'm a fan of Travelodge. My BF likes a good deal and we stayed at this hotel a couple years ago. We used the shuttle from the airport and had no probs with service during our stay (I think it was 2 nights). We didn't use the outdoor pool but I saw…More »
