Le Meridien San Francisco Room 1112 (1), originally uploaded by garybembridge. I really liked this hotel. It was perfect for a business stay. Though I am not sure I would have felt quite the same if I had been on a pleasure trip, as this hotel is in the financial district and so at night…
There is one main issue with Cavallo Point Hotel at Sausilito San Francisco, and that is the lack of attention to detail and the enthusiastic but not very slick service across all aspects of the hotel. Overall the hotel ends up providing a stay that is “fine” but not special. This is such a pity as…
Sausalito. The pretty town on the bay across from San Francisco is worth considering as an alternative to staying in the city itself. Having been to San Francisco a few times in the last few years, and again just 5 months ago for work, I was concerned that coming back fro a vacation would end…
castro street san francisco (1), originally uploaded by garybembridge. Castro. This is the gay centre of San Francisco, and possibly was the gay centre for the world before the AIDs epidemic and the embracing of wider gay rights across the world. San Francisco was one of the early places to be open to gay rights…
Alcatraz Prison San Francisco (8), originally uploaded by garybembridge. I had been to San Francisco a few times and never got organised to go to the famous Alcatraz island in the bay, home of the infamous high security jail and the subject of films and books. Finally, I got there. It was a fascinating and…
It had been a lot of years, about 7, since I had last been in San Francisco. And other than a week or so holiday here about 10 years ago, all previous trips had been “in and out” work trips. Then in the space of 5 months came here twice, once for work and once…
Skyscraper Museum New York (3), originally uploaded by garybembridge. As a bit of a geek about things like tall buildings, big constructions and the like, I was excited to see that near to the hotel we were staying in at Battery Park New York, was an interesting sounding museum called “The Skyscraper Museum”. A visit…
Westin Hotel Princeton The review below from 2008 will show that I have mixed feelings about this hotel. Located on Route 1 towards Princeton, this hotel has had many guises over the last 2 decades. Recently refurbished, it is now a Westin.The hotel is located in a strange shopping and office complex (Forrestal Village) that…
Add caption The Stratosphere Tower and hotel in Las Vegas is a must visit attraction if you are a bit of an adrenalin junkie, or love heights! If not you will find this a scary trip! It is over 100 stories high.Its tower is the tallest observation tower and the 5th tallest structure in the…
Before this guest house became Posh, it was a hotel for “bears” (large and hairy gay men). It was not very successful, and was rundown and went into receivership in 2009. This was when the new owners came across it, bought it and did major work to create a very pleasant, bright and comfortable guest…
