I may never willingly stay at this hotel again
You know how people will say expensive hotels are a waste because all you really need is just a bed? All you’re going to do is just sleep there and then you’re out all day. I thought I’d found the perfect hotel just for that: Hilton Motto Times Square in New York City. The room…

So you want to go to New York in a snowstorm
My trip this past weekend to New York City was the ultimate in winter travel to the area. After years of being spoiled by mild temperatures, I finally got a taste of what the season can really be like in the Big Apple. A huge snowstorm came through the area, and I found myself in…

Mida is a must-go to restaurant if you’re visiting Boston
When I asked for restaurant recommendations on my recent trip to stay in the Seaport District of Boston, I was told that I had to go to Mida. It would be worth the trip. So there I found myself, taking buses and trains out to the South End location on a rainy day. I popped…

Tasting the cuisine at Fox & the Knife
Fox and the Knife is nestled in south Boston, technically walking distance from the Seaport District area hotel I was staying at. But it’s Boston, and winter is cold. We opted for a ridiculously short Uber ride instead a walk. We made a reservation at the bar, so we had no trouble being seated on…

So how are the restaurants at the Omni Hotel Boston Seaport?
During my stay at the Omni Hotel Boston at the Seaport, I made sure to try as much of the restaurants as I could. Because I booked through American Express, I got a head start with the daily breakfast credit. I used that to get a daily taste of Kestra. My first morning, I ordered…

More things at the Omni Seaport
Yesterday, I wrote up a quick review of my room at the Omni Boston Hotel at Seaport. Today, I want to focus on some of the other amenities I enjoyed. First, let’s take a moment for the art. Art in hotels is not novel, but this was a particular take that spoke to me. Shoes:…

Quick stay at the Omni Seaport
I visited Boston in the late fall. The hotel: Omni Hotel Seaport. It is a true conference center hotel. It had an expansive lobby, a huge number of rooms, and of course was right across the street from the conference center. In the lobby was a collection of eclectic art. There were sculptures of shoes…

My favorite hotel is becoming a chain
Equinox Hotel in New York City is by far my favorite hotel. Now, the brand is branching out with a property coming to Amaala in 2026. I never planned to visit Saudi Arabia before, but now I’m intrigued. Right now, the site is only set up for notification sign-ups. I am going to pop in…
