SAN FRANCISCO CAVALLO POINT HOTEL: well meaning but lacks 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 the location is special and historic (an old army base at the base of the Golden gate bridge in a national park) and has stunning views of both the bridge and across the bay to the city of San Francisco. The place is slightly surreal and odd, as it is a concerted army ba…

Chilworth Manor Hotel, Southampton (Review, video and photos)

…where it was houses of residence. Then it was bought out and turned into a hotel. While the hotel decor is a bit dated, and feels like it was influenced by one’s grandmother and not all high quality, it is clean and efficient. Though the beds are not that great and could do with being better. Overall we found the staff to be cheerful and helpful, this was true of reception, the restaurant and the fitness centre. The restaurant was good value and g…

Hotel Mercure Rouen Val de Reuil France: MMM……

…acked together. I wonder if it was actually built using pre-made pods. The hotel is clean, recently painted and refreshed. But it is dated decor that has been freshened up. It is very much a value hotel, and the night cost around 80 euros. So it is very good value as the rooms are large, great desk to work, very adequate bathroom. The bed is large but the sheets feel cheap, but I had been spoilt as been staying in a Meridien Hotel (at much more) t…

Le Méridien Etoile Hotel, Paris, France (Video, photos, review)

…t light in. The bathroom I really liked as very modern. Like most Starwood hotels, the bed was large and very comfortable. Overall the hotel is an expensive place to stay, with the room rates fluctuating wildly based on what is on in Paris or at the massive Conference Centre opposite. Once at the hotel things like internet access is high (26 Euros per 24hours) and drinks in the popular Jazz bar in the lobby are also expensive. There are a few rest…

…ess broadband but it is costly. The place is not that soundproof as you could hear all the noise as people came and went from their rooms. The rooms were very hot from the winter heating. The food in the hotel is good and reliable with lots of salads – but not stunning. I feel the hotel is more four star. Personally, it is not a hotel I would like to stay at for pleasure but for work it was brilliant. Here is a video of the room I stayed in: I hav…

Hilton JFK Airport Hotel New York Video Tour and Review

…every half hour on the hour and half past the hour. The Hilton JFK Airport Hotel is just like every airport hotel I have stayed at! It is dated as a building, but perfectly fine. The rooms are a decent size, with comfortable Hilton beds. There is coffee / tea making in the room (which is a plus). Instead of bath tubs, there is a large shower with glass panel. This is great – though the shower heads are old fashioned and pity they were not upgraded…

Hilton Cadbury Hotel & Spa Bristol UK: review, photos & video

…ilton” signage started to appear around the hotel, and so assume that this hotel has become part of that group. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the hotel, though think the secret to an enjoyable and quiet stay is going there during the week and not the weekend. During the week it was very quiet as regards the number of guests staying, and it looks like most of the business in the week are meetings and conferences. On the weekend it is clear that we…

Marriott Royal Hotel Bristol UK; not recommended, unless you not looking to sleep!.

…e Night Manager agreeing to cut our room bill in half. We were down at the hotel to attend a charity dinner but as the hotel runs many events, we found ourselves in a bedroom with a booming disco and very noisy party goers outside until past 2am. We asked for another room but they had none, and then as we could not sleep after to-ing and fro-ing the night manager agreed that to cut the rate in half. We were annoyed as the hotel knew there was an e…
