The best and worst places I've stayed, from the left coast to the best coast, and beyond!

 1. The Hilton At Short Hills

41 John F Kennedy Pkwy
Short Hills, NJ 07078
(973) 379-0100

Category: Hotels

4.0 star rating

Weddings.

They make you do crazy things.

Like drive 11 hours in less than two days from Boston to NJ.

Thank goodness for group rates at nice hotels like The Hilton at Short Hills. It's right off the highway, impeccably (if not a tad overboard)…More »

 2. Grand Bohemian Hotel

325 S Orange Ave
Orlando, FL 32801
(407) 313-9000

Categories: Hotels, Restaurants

Neighbourhood: Downtown

4.0 star rating
  6/29/2010

The Grand Bohemian certainly is grand. From the moment you pull up, there's a lot of color and flair coming at you. Opulently decorated, with the obligatory Aston Martin and Bentley valet parked out front, the marbled flooring in the entrance way is…More »

 3. The Mosser Hotel

54 4th St
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 986-4400

Category: Hotels

Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA

3.0 star rating
  7/9/2008

It's 7:30 am and I cannot sleep! I am lying in bed at my room at the Mosser Hotel and the traffic outside is so loud that it has interupted my sleep and continues to prevent its return!

The bed is uber comfy. The room itself, albeit small, is…More »

 4. Ace Hotel

20 W 29th St
New York, NY 10001
(212) 679-2222

Category: Hotels

Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Flatiron

3.0 star rating
  6/17/2010

The theory behind the design and operation of the Ace Hotel is solidly rooted in a very hot trend (sleek, modern and efficient temporary abodes for the witty and seasoned traveler) melded beautifully with another fixture of the fashion/art/music…More »

 5. The Dupont Circle Hotel

1500 New Hampshire Ave NW
Washington, DC 20036
(202) 483-6000

Category: Hotels

Neighbourhood: Dupont Circle

5.0 star rating
  4/30/2010

The Dupont Hotel manages to faintly mimic the minimalist movement of the pod and capsule hotels so popular Japan, without sacrificing space, comfort or chic style.

The room is small, well-appointed and open. The sink and mirror of the bathroom share a…More »

Mission Impossible: Escape from the Big City!

With stress meters in the red zone, I knew it was time for us to get a little R&R. Sure you can take a day or two off and just lounge around on your sofa, watching reruns of The Real Housewives of Atlanta…More »

 7. Roosevelt Hotel

45 E 45th St
New York, NY 10017
(212) 661-9600

Categories: Hotels, Caterers

Neighbourhood: Midtown East

2.0 star rating
  5/9/2009

After setting off all the bells and whistles in their lobby, The Roosevelt Hotel really had me going.The  beautiful marble, impossibly high ceilings and oversized fresh flower arrangements really put on a show for those who first enter a hotel. But…More »

3025 Collins Ave
Miami Beach, FL 33140
(305) 534-0505

Category: Hotels

1.0 star rating
  5/2/2009

Over the past year, I've stayed in many a hotel. Mostly for business, some for pleasure and this is hands down one of the worst experiences I've ever had. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, the Palms showed me nothing but the exact…More »

 9. Old Inn On the Green

134 Hartsville New Marlborough Rd
New Marlborough, MA 01230
(413) 229-7924
5.0 star rating
  4/12/2010

Every now and then, city mice need to leave the confines of their concrete world and join their brethren in the country, where cell phone service exists only in fleeting moments and you can actually see the stars. And they should do this by visiting…More »

 10. Hotel Palomar - CLOSED

866 W Peachtree St NW
Atlanta, GA 30308
(866) 945-6285

Category: Hotels

Neighbourhood: Midtown

5.0 star rating
  3/15/2010

As if I'd come to expect anything less from a Kimpton hotel, The Palomar in Midtown makes for a comfortable, home-away-from-home stay during the few times I have visited Atlanta. From the easy check-in, to the clean-clean rooms to the painless…More »

 11. Le Saint-Sulpice Hotel

414 Rue Saint-Sulpice
Montreal, QC H2Y 2V5
Canada
(514) 288-1000

Category: Hotels

5.0 star rating
  12/15/2008

After staying in a boutique hotel like the Saint Sulpice, it's hard to ever imagine staying in a Hilton/Marriot/Chain ever again! From the moment the valet took our car to the multitude of questions we asked during our stay, to genuinely polite…More »
