1. Courtyard Marriott
When my (former) partner and I traveled, we always liked to stay outside of the main part of the city and 'adopt' that suburb as our own. It was nice to see how people really lived and get outside of the main tourist sections. So, on our trip to…More »
2. Long Island Railroad Ronkonkoma Branch
A lot of people don't like railroads. I love them. And this is one of the better ones that I have traveled. When I'm traveling from Long Island Airport into Manhattan, I take the full length of the trip.
The staff at this branch has never been…More »
3. Ifor Evans Hall University College London
This is the 1st place that I ever stayed when I moved to London. I rented a room for the 1st week whilst I was looking for a more permanent place to live.
The staff was very accommodating. I arrived in London at 6.30am but check-in wasn't until 2pm,…More »
4. Paddington Station
For me, Paddington was one of the easier stations to get around in and find my train. It is very open and airy and there are plenty of things to do if you happen to be waiting for a train or passenger. I actually would stop in here numerous time as…More »
5. Southwest Airlines
Columbus, OH 43201
(614) 238-7720
Neighbourhood: University District
Everything Amanda said!!!
I have loved Southwest airlines for years. Their cheap fares allowed me to fly back and forth between St Louis and Columbus for every Ohio State home game for 2 years without breaking the bank! They make it so easy to…More »
6. London Heathrow Airport
I have been in and out of this airport more times than I want to admit, and for such a large airport, they seem to do a pretty good job of keeping things together. Lines at security are long but they do move quickly and they have a nice selection of…More »
7. Lambert-St. Louis International Airport
For 2 years, I flew out of Lambert every other week. So often that the terminal and flight staff got to know me! This being a Southwest hub, I could catch flights easily and cheaply from here and I took full advantage of it. The security lines…More »
8. Port Columbus International Airport
I didn't really appreciate the Columbus airport until I started flying a lot more often. Port Columbus never seems to be rushed. It is efficient and calm, and everything moves at a decent pace. This is my 'short-cut' airport, meaning I can show up…More »
9. Continental Airlines
Gatwick RH6 0BX
UK
+44 1293 540615
Continental has become my go-to airline for Transatlantic flights. They have reasonable prices, their customer service is efficient and friendly, and their in-flight service (whilst not extravagant) is comforting.
Starting at check-in - I was flying…More »
10. Sydney House Hotel
First off, this place is difficult to find! I think I must have driven past it 3 or 4 times before I finally realized that this was it! That being said, it does have a homey feel that makes it really relaxing. We were greeted warmly by the staff…More »
11. Eurostar International
It was difficult deciding to give a 2 star rating to Eurostar as I generally love the concept, but I settled on that because of the 'I've experienced bettter' part of the description.
The tickets from London to Paris were a gift so I can't speak to…More »
12. Comfort Inn
My parents stayed here and my friend's parents always stayed here because it was right down the street from where we lived. We never had any problems with things being broken or dirtiness. It is small, but most hotels in London are small. My…More »
13. Air Canada
Toronto, ON M5J 1B7
Canada
(416) 673-1075
Category:
Airlines
Neighbourhood: Harbourfront
I really liked flying Air Canada from London to Columbus until I got to Canada and that just ruined my entire experience.
I had a flight departed London with a 2 hour layover in Toronto and then on to Columbus. When my flight left London late, I was…More »
14. Long Island MacArthur Airport
When I fly to New York, I prefer flying into this airport. Yes, its a bit more of a trek into the city, but the transportation links are easy to use and there's never any crowd pushing you along at the baggage claim.
This airport is really laid back…More »
15. Newark Liberty International Airport
This is usually the airport through which I enter on my international flights and compared to some of the other ones I've gone through, this is the best. Yes the lines for passport control are long, but its not as bad (or as slow) as other ones.…More »
16. British Airways - CLOSED
New York, NY 10017
(212) 681-7802
Categories:
Transportation,
Travel Services
Neighbourhoods: Midtown West, Midtown East
I have flown on British Airways twice and never again.
My first experience is similar to what many of the reviewers are saying in that their customer service is horrible. When I was moving from the US to England I contacted BA and booked my flight…More »
17. Eurostar International
Its interesting because for the same railway, I think that the Paris side of operations deserves a different rating than the UK side (I gave them 2 stars. Here's why - http://www.yelp.co.uk/...)
The Paris side was much better! I misread the ticket…More »
18. Kansas City International Airport
I was surprised when I stepped off the plane into this airport. The word 'International' is in its name. It sure didn't feel international! Its small, old, and filled with a feeling that its somehow just given up.
I will say that the staff here…More »
19. Greyhound Bus Lines
Cleveland, OH 44114
(216) 781-0520
I was way too excited to have the Cleveland Greyhound terminal as a stop on my trip. You see, its listed on the National Register of Historic Places and whenever I come across one of those, my inner history nerd comes out in full force. It was…More »
20. Staten Island Ferry
I am such a lazy tourist. Want to see the Statue of Liberty? Of course! Want to pay to see it? No.
When I saw how many people were waiting to board the ferry, I was worried that we were all going to be crammed on like sardines. But somehow,…More »
21. St. Michaels Hotel and Spa
Falmouth TR11 4NB
UK
+44 1326 312707
Categories:
Hotels,
British,
Beauticians & Day Spas
Tell anyone that you're going to Falmouth, Cornwall for spring break and they might wonder why. But when you live in London and just want to get away and relax for a bit, this is the perfect place to go!
A friend found St Michaels and was able to get…More »
22. Hostelling International New York Hostel
New York, NY 10025
(212) 932-2300
Category:
Hostels
Neighbourhood: Manhattan Valley
Yes, its a hostel. Don't expect a 5-star hotel experience. But for what you pay, you get a pretty darn good experience.
My 1st time staying here was not by choice. Friends were visiting from the UK and wanted to stay here, and so that's where I…More »
23. Four Seasons Hotel Dublin
Luxurious. Amazing. And with a magic that makes you feel so posh.
My partner's company put him up here for a conference, and being an astute opportunist, I tagged along. Despite having to duck behind a column when his boss saw him checking in, I…More »
24. Greyhound Bus Lines
Albany, NY 12207
(518) 434-8461
Luckily, for my trip to Montreal from Columbus, I only had to switch buses twice. Once in Cleveland and then again in Albany. For one of the more major stations on the Greyhound route, the station was not one of the better ones (Syracuse was MUCH…More »
25. Hilton Dublin Airport Hotel
This is not a holiday hotel. If you're going to Dublin as a tourist, you'd be better served to stay downtown. But if you're going on business, as my partner was, and you're tagging along, this is a perfectly fine place to stay. It was on the way…More »
26. Greyhound Bus Lines
Syracuse, NY 13208
(315) 472-5339
You can tel that there are some areas of the country where bus travel isn't sneered upon. New York is one of those places. When I pulled up to the Syracuse bus station after all night on a bus, I was glad to see a full service Dunkin Donuts (hello…More »
27. Greyhound
Columbus, OH 43215
(614) 228-2266
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Downtown
Call me crazy (many people have) but I don't mind bus travel. So for a recent trip to Montreal, I found a good deal on Greyhound and just couldn't pass up the opportunity.
Yes, the Columbus bus station isn't the best, but its really not the worst…More »
28. Lacolle Border Crossing
Customs and Immigration is one of my all-time UNfavorite things when it comes to travel so any of them will automatically lose a star with me. But this one seemed especially disorganized to me. There were only 2 agents (do they assume that no one…More »
29. Barwood Cab of Bethesda
I called this company once to pick me up and take me to an event on Embassy Row. I knew exactly where I was going but I didn't drive because there wasn't going to be any parking available. I thought it was funny when he turned down a different road…More »
30. Jet Express
This is where I seem cheap, but I really hated handing my money over for this. It would be one thing if you really got something special for the price but it was crowded and I felt more like cattle being herded than someone on a transportation…More »
31. Best Western Kirkwood Inn
Not much to say here. My parents stayed here while visiting and because we were up late talking, I ended up staying the night here as well. Standard budget hotel. Nothing extraordinary. Nothing horrible. A decent place to stay with links to the…More »
32. Residence Inn
Columbus, OH 43235
(614) 885-0799
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhood: Crosswoods
I recently stayed here after a show at the nearby Vonn Jazz Club. It was a bit difficult to get to as there is a Towne Suites located in front and we went there 1st as there was no indication of which one was which.
It was nice that there was a…More »
33. Champlain border crossing - Entering US from Canada
Champlain, NY 12919
Categories:
Public Services & Government,
Travel Services
I half expected entering back into the US from Canada to be more difficult than entering Canada but while it was definitely more thorough, it was surprisingly easier.
1st off, unlike entering Canada, they didn't want us to bring any of our luggage…More »
34. Autobus Greyhound
Montreal, QC H2L 4R6
Canada
(514) 287-1580
Categories:
Auto Repair,
Public Transportation
Ahhhhh...There's nothing like pulling into your final station after a long bus trip. Luckily, this bus station is in a location that makes it easy to get from here to your hotel with the least amount of effort. Our hotel was only a short 2 block…More »
35. Double Tree Plaza Hotel - CLOSED
This hotel is now called the Grand Plaza Montreal Centre-Ville. I've put in several requests to Yelp to change the name but alas... Its probably for the best because the hotel doesn't seem to want to be found.
Its disappointing that normally this…More »
36. Enterprise Rent-A-Car UK
Hounslow TW6 2RG
UK
+44 20 8897 2100
Category:
Car Hire
Neighbourhood: Heathrow
I was a bit nervous about driving in England for the 1st time AND driving my parents around to boot. As bad as my dad reacts to my driving I could almost imagine him panicking at every turn. I was also nervous that the cars might somehow be built…More »
37. Jubilee Line
I could never ride the Jubilee line without thinking how scary it was that the trains could drive themselves and they only had drivers because TFL realized that people would be scared to death to see a driverless train coming down the track...
That…More »
38. Night Buses
I owe Night Buses a lot. If it wasn't for these wonderfully dodgy buses, I would probably have woken up more mornings on random benches in the middle of even dodgier parks (it only happened once, OK!). I didn't have to worry about missing the last…More »
39. Transport for London
This review should really be a 1 star; like on those days when I'm 2 hours late to work due to 'mechanical issues' that require me to take 1 Tube, 2 buses, and a 20 minute walk to go the 6 miles from flat to office. Which somehow ended up costing me…More »
40. London Marylebone Station
London NW1 6JJ
UK
+44 871 200 4969
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: St John's Wood
I always like the Marylebone Station for meeting friends at a central location. Its on the Bakerloo line (which I've never had much trouble with) and has quite a few shops and restaurants around if you're quickly meeting up with someone and don't…More »
