1. Albergo Marina Riviera
I can't name anything more ideal than waking up, going out on the balcony, hearing church bells, and having a view of the Amalfi Coast.
We vacationed here in the summer and absolutely loved it. Amalfi was a great base to explore the rest of the…More »
2. Hotel de Glace
This famous hotel is a short drive away from Old Quebec. It is a hotel made completely out of ice for a brief time each year. Everything from the beds, chairs, chandeliers, and glasses (at the bar) are made of ice.
Each room/suite has its own theme…More »
3. The Inn at Spanish Bay
My expectations out of a hotel is it should be at least equal to (and an upgrade) to what you have at home. My criteria includes:
- 2 ply toilet paper
- Comfortable bed
- A shower that doesn't involve solving the Da Vinci Code to get it started and…More »
4. Sofitel Philadelphia
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 569-8300
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
One of my favorite places to stay. Their rooms are well decorated and spacious, they are centrally located, you have your choice of a separate bathtub / glass enclosed shower, flatscreen TV, nice lobby bar, great toiletries (Roger & Gallet), and a…More »
5. Sofitel Montreal
I've been a Sofitel fan since staying at their Philadelphia, PA location - it's my barometer to compare other Sofitels/hotels. This location is:
- Centrally located between Mont Royal, St Catherine's (2 blocks away), Crescent Street (3 blocks), and…More »
6. The Westin Philadelphia
Philadelphia, PA 19103

Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
People either fall into one of two teams: Team Soap or Team Shower Gel. Unfortunately, I am Team Shower Gel and this hotel doesn't provide any (its a BYOSG - Bring Your Own Shower Gel).
I typically stay at the Sofitel when I am in town for business,…More »
7. Le Meridien Hotel
The hotel was centrally located to most attractions (Hofburg Palace, St Stephan's Cathedral, Opera House, museums, Naschmarkt) and restaurants (Figlmuller and Plachutta Wollzeile). Rooms are ultra modern with a frosted glass bathroom wall and floor…More »
8. Sofitel Paris Arc de Triomphe
My expectations were raised too high from always staying at the Sofitel Philadelphia. The rooms here are smaller and less modern. The shower had a half glass wall, that despite my best efforts, still resulted in me soaking the bathroom floor. The…More »
9. Hyatt Place Orlando Lake Mary
The same person that checked us in, was the same person who served us a drink and put out breakfast in the morning.
Good
- $79 corporate rate (I was just as shocked)
- Free Wi-FI, breakfast, and parking
- Close to I-4
Bad
- 30 miles from the airport
- The…More »
10. Embassy Suites
Pros
====
- Cheap rooms (2 room suites - perfect for families)
- Breakfast included (cook to order omelets and typical breakfast items)
- Centrally located near the National Mall (15 min walk) and Metro
- There is a daily complimentary happy hour
-…More »
11. Niagara Falls Marriott Fallsview
Question: Is it possible to look at a waterfall for 4 straight days?
Answer: Yes.
After I booked a getaway to Niagara Falls, I was wondering why I booked it for 4 days. Don't get my wrong, its an unofficial Wonder of the World, but there isn't much…More »
12. Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel
Baltimore, MD 21201
(410) 962-8300
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: City Center
I stayed here as part of a Starwood Free Weekend Reward Bonus. Its located right near the Inner Harbor (which was the whole purpose of my trip). The room wasn't spectacular, but the king bed was comfy and they did have a flat screen (I just wished…More »
13. Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski
Is it better to have the worst room in the best hotel or the best room in the worst hotel? Its one of those chicken or the egg dilemmas.
Pros
- Hotel is centrally located on a ritzy shopping street near most of the attractions (Marienplatz,…More »
14. Orlando World Center Marriott
I stayed here for a recent conference and the hotel was huge. Unfortunately, I was exiled to the West Wing - a long way from the main part of the hotel. Their room number system was odd: room #21279 was on the 18th floor (there's no rhyme or reason…More »
15. Hilton Québec
Two wrongs don't make a right, but if you want to find the Hilton's parking lot, you need to make three rights. I felt like Sisyphus looking for a parking spot (in Greek mythology, Sisyphus had to push a rock up a steep hill and right before he got…More »
