We spent most of our time at the Grand Canyon at the Holiday Inn in Tusayan which is approximately 2 miles from the entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park entrance. This is a really convenient spot to base youself while you are at the Canyon and it is reasonably priced, mostly because it is not right on the Canyon rim. Staying at any of the Grand Canyon rim hotels automatically doubles the price for a room. The Holiday Inn hotel is situated on Highway 64 and there are a number of other hotels in close proximity as well as a…

Hotel Review – Kachina Lodge Grand Canyon
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008 at
4:20 am
Check in is at 4pm and we had arrived too early to check in. However the young man checked our reservation and suggested we return around 2pm to see if the room was available. When we did return at around 2.30pm the room still wasn’t ready so we sat in the lobby with a number of other people who were also waiting to check in. The young lady behind the counter said she would list us as being in the hotel so that housekeeping would move our room up the list of rooms to be serviced. Check in for the…
Hotel Review: Gold Coast Hotel & Casino – Las Vegas
Friday, February 29th, 2008 at
6:41 am
After picking up the car from the Alamo car rental company near the airport we drove back to the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino which we had just checked into that morning. We drove into the Self Parking area of the hotel which is free. Anyone bringing their car will find it easy to park. The car park is large, with plenty of space to maneuver. There is also valet parking which the attendent told us was free although a tip would be expected. The hotel is situated at: 4000 W Flamingo Rd Las Vegas NV 89103 Although the hotel…
Rio Hotel Las Vegas – Hotel Review
Thursday, February 28th, 2008 at

The main reason for our trip to Las Vegas was to attend The Affiliate Summit which was held at the Rio Hotel so it made good sense for us to stay there during this time. As we found out when we came over to the States for the Affiliate Summit in Maimi in 2007, it is so much more convenient if you stay at the venue. The airport shuttle dropped us off right outside the door and there was a queue to check in. Check in was quick and simple and the chap behind the desk was pleasant. We were…
The Hollywood Celebrity Hotel – Los Angeles – Hotel Review

After a rather long day having set out from our Hawaii hotel at 5am, and finally arriving at The Celebrity Hotel at around 6pm we were just looking forward to having a shower and having a cup of tea. Paula had already advised me not to expect too much from the hotel as it was only 2 star. So it was nice to be pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The check in process was easy and the receptionist was friendly. The foyer has pictures of stars and some comfortable chairs to sit while you wait for transport and it is…
Aqua Wave Hotel, Wailkik, Honolulu – Hotel Review
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008 at
7:13 pm
While in Hawaii we stayed at the Aqua Wave Hotel which we found through Trip Advisor where it was rated in the top 10 hotels in Waikiki. The foyer is plain with a reception desk on one side and the concierge and a couple of shops on the other. There is a chinese restaurant at the end of the corridor-like entrance. The staff were very friendly and helpful and check in was easy and painless apart from the fact that our room wasn’t ready. This was through no fault of the hotel, as we had arrived early after a 10…
Our review of the Grand Hyatt Hotel New York
Saturday, July 7th, 2007 at
8:07 pm
So far during our time in New York we have been staying at the Grand Hyatt in Manhattan. The hotel is located right next to Grand Central Station and because of this is an ideal location for anyone coming to stay in New York. We have been here three nights so far and are extremely pleased with the hotel. Check-in was very smooth and the lady behind the counter was very pleasant and helpful. We had arrived at about 9pm at night and the room type we had requested was held for us. The hotel lobby is quite impressive and…
