Hotel review: Cambria, Manchester, CT
This is going to be a quick review of Cambria, a newer hotel in Manchester, Connecticut and part of Choice hotels. The property is located in the Evergreen Walk area. That means you have just a short walk to an outdoor shopping mall with restaurants, and my favorite, a Ben and Jerry’s. The location is…

Hotel review: Courtyard by Marriott Hartford/Manchester
I decided to stay at that Courtyard by Marriott in Manchester, Connecticut. I had to be in the area and didn’t want to be overly lavish. I wanted to be smarter about my budget on this quick trip, so I booked it with American Express points. That was an extremely easy process. I was able…

You did know you could use your AmEx points for hotels? Right?
The major perk of the American Express card is the points. I mean, that is after all how they entice you. But what do you do with those points? I decide the best way to use mine was to book a hotel. Having an American Express gold or platinum card allows you access to the…

I stayed at the Springhill Hotel and Suites in Asaba, Nigeria, and I have some thoughts.
Before you read any further, I questioned whether I should bother reviewing the Spring Hill Hotel and Suites in Asaba, Nigeria where I stayed. My fear was that it would come across as a very westernized and insensitive critique. That maybe it would seem that I was being too hard on them and holding too…

My stay at the Hotel Indigo Downtown Athens + The need to speak up about your experience
When I think of college towns, I can tell you I don’t think hotels, especially boutique hotels. But with all of the activity that happens on campus (sporting events, speaker series, graduations, etc.) it makes sense to have somewhere for everyone to stay. That leads us to my review of the Hotel Indigo-Athens. To start,…

Nobu Atlanta Hotel Review: In-room dining
I have already reviewed the room and gym at the Nobu Atlanta Hotel. Now it’s time to talk about the in-room dining experience. Being a Nobu property, you would be right to assume excellent food. Well, I did, I definitely went a bit overboard in ordering to try as much as I possibly could. Here…

Nobu Atlanta Hotel Review: The gym
This might seem odd to have an entire post dedicated to the gym at the Nobu Atlanta Hotel. Well, you only think that because you haven’t been there. As someone who has been to quite a few hotels of late, this place is far above any others I have seen. I have included the full…

Nobu Hotel Atlanta Review: The room
When I finally made it to the Nobu Atlanta Hotel, the experience inside was serene. I was greeted at the front desk with an oshiburi towel, a hot towel that smelled of lemongrass and calmed my stress trying to find the place. Check-in went very smoothly, the women working the desk were friendly and ready…

Nobu Atlanta Hotel Review: Getting there
This is the start on my series on my experience at the Nobu Hotel in Atlanta. Let’s start with even getting there. You of course have multiple options, depending on how you decide to get to the city. If you are coming from the airport, this location is roughly 30 minutes aware by car. If…
