Holiday Inn Express in Altoona, Iowa
I just got back from staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Altoona, Iowa. The hotel is located at 165 Adventureland Drive NW.

Liberty Hotel , Yangon.
On one of my visits to Yangon, Myanmar, I decided to stay at a hotel at a convenient distance to the downtown business district, rather than right in the downtown core.
With the suggestion of a friend of mine in Yangon, I chose to stay at Liberty Hotel.
That was an …

The location of the hotel is great for those who want to be near the action. Since the hotel is situated in the city proper, you can get to the shops and restaurants in less than 20 minutes. Tourists have been known to go crazy over the great restaurants …
The Royale Bintang Kuala Lumpur
The Royale Bintang located in Kuala Lumpur is a good hotel. I had been to this hotel with my family at least once and all of us decided to come back again for a second visit sometime in December this year. That’s because the hotel has some …
Holiday Inn Cocoa Beach FL
We stayed for one night, the first thing they did was to offer my husband an “upgrade” to a larger room, from a BEACHFRONT! I really wanted to see the ocean, and was disappointed. We got to see the pool instead, didn’t need a larger room, so beware of …
Econo Lodge Brattlesboro
The hotel is a basic economy hotel, but that doesn’t mean that it is bad place to stay. It has two floors and around 40 rooms. They allow you to bring your pets with you in the room. I noticed there are quite a few people …
Novotel Surabaya Hotel
As you know that Surabaya is also a big city in Indonesia, you can expect some big name of hotels as well in this town. I’ve been staying in Surabaya for few times. And since I have no family there, of course I have to stay in a hotel …
Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne
An interesting place in Key Biscayne, Florida that I think would be worth the trip is Sonesta Beach Resort Key Biscayne. This is a very beautiful resort and a perfect romantic hot spot for honeymooners, newly reconciled couples, families and the likes. In short, I think it …
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites
My stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Powell, TN. came as quite a surprise to me from the moment I entered the lobby. Even though I did not arrive until after 3:00 in the morning, I was warmly greeted by the staff, given a …

Marriott Durham NC
I have stayed at the Marriott RTP on Guardian Drive 3 times in the last year. They recently went through a multi million dollar refurbishment. I would say it is a really good 4 star property.
The rooms are a nice size and the beds are very comfortable. Every room …
Dallas Prava Suites near the Galleria
Do not let the low price scare you away - this is a very nice hotel to stay at whether you are on business or pleasure! When I was there they were undertaking a major remodeling task - but what they had completed so far looked very impressive. Although …
El Nido Miniloc Resort, Palawan, Philippines
This is the best beach resort I’ve been to, ever.
I went here during the Catholic Holy Week (March) of 2009 with my family of five. Our package included airfare, two rooms, full-board meals, and sooo many activities like you can’t imagine!
From Manila, we flew via chartered plane to the …
Bailan Family Bungalows
After a long bus ride, an even longer ferry ride, and a bumpy, dusty ride in the back of a truck, we arrived at Lonely Beach. Our first night was spent, well, roughing it. Bailan Family Bungalows was out in the middle of the jungle, about a kilometer down …
Mumbai Y W C A International Guest House
I love the YWCA in Mumbai. It’s in the middle of almost everything in that city, and so well priced. Very clean, too.
Just because the “W” in YWCA stands for “women”, it doesn’t mean men can’t stay there. I’m a man, and I’ve stayed there a number of times… …
Ritz Milner Hotel
I attended The AARP Convention in Los Angeles last September. I am on a budget and was unable to afford the hotels that AARP had contracted with. Even the least expensive room was too high for my budget.
I did a search on budget hotels in downtown Los Angeles …
Pannzian Beach and Mountain Resort, Pagudpud, Philippines
My friends and I decided pretty last minute that we wanted to go to Pagudpud for Holy Week, so we tried to look for a resort that could accomodate us all (there were 10 of us). Unfortunately, the more “popular” resorts (Apo Idon, Saud, Polaris) were fully booked. …
Holiday Inn Galleria Pasig City
We checked in to this hotel because it was close to the church where a friend will have her wedding at. The price of a standard room was around PHP4000 per night. This includes a buffet breakfast for two. Internet is $12 per day.
Their lobby wasn’t much of a …

Grace Hotel Sydney
The facade alone is inviting. I stayed here when I was in Sydney. My trip to Australia was Manila-Sydney via Qantas Airlines. This was the hotel that was recommended by my friend. It is situated in downtown Sydney. The location of the hotel is perfect. Queen Victoria shopping center …
Edmonton House Suite Hotel Edmonton
I have to travel fairly often, some times by plane, and some times by car driving over long distances. So, when I get to the destination, I like to stay at a place which is more home-like than a standard hotel accommodation.
So, that was the primary reason why …
South Africa Marlinspike Guest Lodge
I stayed at this bed and breakfast guestlodge with my family for 2 nights last August 25-27, 2009. I found the location ideal as Hout Bay is near enough Cape Town should you want to go to a big city and do some sightseeing and far enough if …
Grand Mercure Fortune Hotel Bangkok
I travel to Bangkok quite often on business trips and have stayed at different hotels in the City.
The last time I stayed at Grand Mercure Fortune Hotel on Rachadaphisek Road. The reason I chose Fortune Hotel was the location, the convenience in accessibility coming from Bangkok airport, and in …
Brisdale Hotel ( Kuala Lumpur )
This hotel is located at the city proper. It was accessible to many restaurants and malls which is why I got it in the first place. However, since it is at the heart of a busy area, traffic and noise could always be heard at my suite. It was …
Nana’s suites, boutique hotel, Ljubljana, Slovenia
I had never been to Ljubljana until this weekend when my boyfriend and I decided to visit it. It was his present for my birthday, and a very nice present, indeed. We stayed at Nana’s suites, just outside of the old city centre and we booked the suites via Booking.com. …

Studio Php1,500.00
Deluxe Php1,850.00
Premier Php3,150.00 (5 pax)
Stayed for a night at Tagaytay Haven Hotel. It was quite far from the tourist’s attractions in Tagaytay, which is okay for me because I love long drives. It’s situated in the not so busy commercial place in Tagaytay, far enough away …

Pine Mountain Cabins
I recently stayed at the rustic Pine Mountain Cabins campground. It is a little, antique-laden group of small cabins that appeals to both families and couples. I stayed in Baby’s Bungalow, which was a smaller cabin meant for two people. My cabin, like most of the others, was facing …
Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch
For just under one-hundred dollars a night, this hotel is a nice place to stay. The area where the hotel is located is really quite beautiful and pleasant. I liked how the surrounding grounds were quite well and neatly kept as I did not see garbage thrown on the …
The Crescent Inn at The Mall in Valdosta, Georgia
I was looking for a cheap place to spend the night with some friends while we went to Wild Adventures theme park in Valdosta, and the Crescent Inn is what I found. It’s not a bad hotel, but it’s definitely not somewhere I would want to spend any decent …
Hotel Vincci Lella Baya
This is a marvelous hotel and in my personal point of view it can provide great entertainment for all ages. We’ll get to that later on. First of you must know that the hotel is a milestone in architectual progression. Really the hotel is beautifully constructed and the interior …
Homestead Studio Suites Hotels

Good Nite Inn SFO
I booked three nights at this inn for my parents when they visited San Francisco. The house that my boyfriend and I stay in is really small to accommodate my parents so there was no other choice but to make them stay at another place. I searched through Expedia.com.
I …
Wembley Plaza Hotel London
The hotel was about a 25 kilometer drive from the airport. I was surprised that no one was waiting for me when I arrived. I had to call my hotel so that I could arrange for an airport transfer. The transfer service was delayed and the …
Best Western Anaheim Inn
We stayed at this hotel in October, 2009 while visiting Disneyland. I was happy to find that it was, in fact, “right across the street” from Disneyland as stated on their website. A lot of other hotels claim this as well but turn out to be indeed …

Lao Plaza Hotel Vientiane Laos
Lao Plaza Hotel is another one of my favorites in Indochina, more specifically, in Laos, or the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. I normally get to Laos through Bangkok, and almost always land at night (using a twin-prop light plane with less than ten passengers). Upon arrival at …
Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino
One thing I have noticed over the years is it’s very rare to find a nice hotel in Vegas. At least it is if you are on a budget. Thankfully when I stayed at this hotel, it was just a pass through. I was on my way to visit …
Blue Coral Beach Resort, San Juan Batangas Philippines

The Courtyard in Topeka is really nice place. In retrospect, it reminded me a lot of home. The property was quite expansive in width. There were three floors to the hotel. The outside of the hotel was pale beige. The outside of the hotel …

I have followed my boyfriend to do some business dealings in Hongkong before, and we stayed for 2 days and 1 night in The Kowloon Hotel, in Hong Kong.
