Lismoyne Hotel, Fleet, Hampshire (UK): Review, Photos, Video

Lismoyne Hotel, Fleet, Hampshire (UK): Review, Photos, Video

Lismoyne Hotel Fleet Room 53, originally uploaded by garybembridge. On all the literature at this hotel they say “Conferences. Weddings. Events”. This pretty much, in my view, sums up what this hotel delivers on and focuses on – affordale venue for events. We were staying there for one night as we were attending some friend’s 40th birthday and had booked to stay to avoid driving so we could have a drink (or two or three). It was perfectly fine fo…

Fairmont Hotel Santa Monica, Los Angeles (Hotel Review and Video)

Fairmont Hotel Santa Monica, Los Angeles (Hotel Review and Video)

I was at this hotel for 5 nights, over the weekend before a business meeting held at the hotel and then for 3 nights for the meeting. I would rate this as a very good hotel to stay at for business, but glad to have been there on a trip as we had been considering it for a short vacation hotel when we visit Santa Monica later in the year. I would not recommend it as a vacation hotel. The hotel is roomy, on very nice lush grounds and is very well ma…

Sofitel Hotel Gatwick London (Review, Photos and Video)

…had booked an “executive room” which is on the 8th floor. Having read some reviews, I had called the hotel and asked for a room with an outside view as a lot of rooms face into the inner courtyard. So this is a good tip to remember. On checking in they confirmed this had been requested and gave us one of the rooms facing the airport and runways (which are their most requested rooms the receptionist told us). I can see why as it was a great view, a…

Palais de la Mediterranee Hotel, Nice, France (Review, Video & Photos)

Palais de la Mediterranee Hotel, Nice, France (Review, Video & Photos)

We chose to stay at this hotel based on the ratings, reviews and pictures that we had seen on the tripadvisor.com site. And very pleased we were with the choice! We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights from 28 Dec to the 1 January. We booked a sea view room, but as people in the reviews I had read, the room has more of a “glance” at the sea as you can only see it from the balcony! But that was fine as the balcony is very pleasant and had a good open…

Chauncey Conference Center, Princeton, New Jersey: Review and Videos

Chauncey Conference Center, Princeton, New Jersey: Review and Videos

This was the 2nd time that I stayed at this place. Not by choice I have to stress!! I was involved in running 2 training events and both were booked in at this hotel/ conference center. And I have to say I was DREADING going back there. Why? 1) The food is really, really bad. There are 2 places to eat (and of course the room service where you can have a burger… or a burger or a burger. The main restaurant has the most strange combinations of food…

Royal Plaza Hotel, Montreux, Switzerland (Review, Video and Photos)

Royal Plaza Hotel, Montreux, Switzerland (Review, Video and Photos)

I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights in mid January 2006 for a conference. This hotel is right on Lake Geneva and you get the most amazing views of the lake and the mountains. But make sure when you book and check in that you get one of the rooms facing the lake – or you may find yourself in a room overlooking the road at the back. This will be a terrible outcome as the views are just quite breath taking. I have posted photos of how lovely the lak…

Korean Air Club Business Class Seats (Photos, Review and Video)

I took these photos on a flight from Tokyo Narita to Seoul Incheon airports of the Korean Air Club/ Business Class Cabin and Seats. Overall I thought the seats were pretty good. Although they are not the “lie flat” horizontal type they do go flat but are at an angle, but the seats are wide as as they sore of slide underneath the seat in front you do not have that annoying and “closed in feeling” you get when the seat in front of you goes back and…

Ritz Carlton Millenia Singapore: Review, Video & Photos

I stayed in this hotel as part of a 2 week business trip. The week before I had been in Seoul. The contrast with the efficient but not particularly service orientated hotel in Seoul to the Ritz Carlton was, therefore, probably accentuated even more than normal. Saying that, while I quite liked the hotel, I have probably stayed at better hotels in Singapore. But there is no doubting that this hotel is a good hotel and is a good place to stay. It i…

Grecotel Cape Sounio Athens (Hotel Review, Photos & Video)

Grecotel Cape Sounio Athens (24), originally uploaded by garybembridge. Click here to see the full gallery of my pictures of the hotel It is about 65 Kms for the centre of Athens and about 35 Kms from the airport and on the Aegean coast. The hotel is on a small natural bay and looks directly across to the ruins of the still impressive Temple to Poseiden (Greek God of the Sea) on the top of a hill. The hotel itself is very stylish in design with e…

Hotel Cascais Miragem Lisbon (Review, Video & Photos)

Hotel Cascais Miragem Lisbon 2007 (1), originally uploaded by garybembridge. What a beautiful hotel this is! I only wished as soon as I got there that I was both staying longer and that I was there for a vacation rather than the work conference that I as attending. It seemed almost criminal not to be on holiday here. The hotel is big with a large open and dramatic lobby area that soars up high, with large glass staircase and glass sided lifts. It…

Hotel Review, Photos & Video: Suites at One King West Toronto Room 2910(14)

…o the water where in the early evening the water was full of small sailing ships. The bathroom was small with small bath that was more of a shower than a bath but you could have had a bath if you wanted one. The suites at One King West seem to be a mix of hotel and also residential and long stay. The accommodation is in a large tower of about 45 floors that was built above an old bank building from the turn of the century. The place is very much t…
