Park Hotel, Zug, Switzerland: Lacks charm. Efficient but dull.

…fee making facilities (a plus always). The bathroom is large with not very nice moulded sink unit, no bath but a good sized glass walled shower. I had room service dinner to avoid the smoky restaurant area and that was efficient but un spectacular. The breakfast in the restaurant was the same, with a fairly average buffet. I did not use any of the pool or fitness, but good to know they have it. On the last trip I stayed in a more normal room (304)…

Paris Pullman Eiffel Tower Hotel Is Closest Hotel To The Eiffel Tower

…tray with a chocolate Eiffel Tower, some fruit and juice which was also a nice touch. I had some problems at the hotel that got dealt with very well, fast and friendly. I had a problem with the heating and that got dealt with fast, and then asked to change rooms to one which did not have an inter-connected door as the people next to me had the TV on so loud. These were dealt with well. The bar at the hotel and the food there is ok, and the servic…

Hotel Barocco, Rome, Italy

Hotel Barocco, Rome, Italy

…l Barocco in Rome for just one night while in the city for work. It made a nice change from all the chain hotels that I usually stay in. Though not sure I would want to stay more than a night or two here. The hotel is in a good location right in the centre of things, but as the hotel is in an alley off the busy square (so can be hard to find!) it is very quiet. The staff are very helpful and friendly and speak excellent English, and so make visito…

SHERATON PARIS CDG AIRPORT HOTEL (review, video, photos)

SHERATON PARIS CDG AIRPORT HOTEL (review, video, photos)

…able from any of the Terminal 2 areas. It is a modern looking hotel with a nice look and feel in the public rooms. The rooms are large, and well equipped with huge desk, sofa, big and comfortable bed. The bathroom is a bit dated but has a separate shower and bath, which is unusual and good for a hotel. The restaurant was efficient but fairly expensive for both dinner and breakfast. There is a large conference/ meeting room level with many meeting…

Nassau Inn, Princeton, New Jersey

Nassau Inn, Princeton, New Jersey

…s I stay in are for work (around 8 nights a year) – and we tend to stay in nice hotels. I have had to stay in the Nassau Inn many times in the last 15 years. And I have never liked nor enjoyed it. I only stay here when I have to, like this trip when we are at a meeting being held all week here. The hotel feels run down and shabby from the outside and all through. It is located right in the centre of Palmer Square and is a great location. And is al…

London Heathrow Terminal 5: British Airways Concorde First Lounge

London Heathrow Terminal 5: British Airways Concorde First Lounge

…mes both for work, for holidays and when been upgraded from Club. Always a nice touch. One of the perks of being in First is you get to use their premium lounge which is called The Concorde Lounge. This is right after you come through security (the one at the far end of the Heathrow Terminal 5). There is a BA host standing by a small stand and if you have the magic First Class boarding pass they usher you through. It saves you having a long walk a…

…y, and is apparently one of the fastest growing in France. It was a fairly nice looking town, and the park and square in front of the City Hall is stunning with innovative fountains and wooden covered walkways. During our strolling about we kept an eye out for the shuttle buses so we could work out the route they took. As we had been given a map as we got on the bus, we also realized there was a beach area. We walked down to it and found a very pl…

A junior suite experience at the Hotel du Louvre, Paris, France

…g with a table in that I think they did not really know what to do with. A nice treat. The one thing I did find and had forgotten about these old French buildings. The weather is starting to get warmer, and the room – despite the air-condition which is pretty pathetic – was stuffy and hot. It must be very hot in these rooms in Summer…..

Ambassador Hotel Paris (video, review, photos)

…d the room I had, which had a view onto the street, was a good size with a nice bathroom and separate toilet. The beds were very high and overall comfortable. The pillows less so. The decor of the room was dark, with a lot of burgundy. The other downside is that it had inter-connecting doors to rooms on both sides (and from the hotel website it seems many rooms may have). Therefore, there is some noise from the other rooms. My pet hate! The breakf…
