Gaylord Palms Resort is a great option for easy access to Disney and the on-site waterpark for kids and kids at heart.

Review: Courtyard King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel
To sum up my time at the Courtyard King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel, it was frustrating, rewarding, and frustrating. My family stayed 5 nights on points at this hotel. While it is beach front with an almost private beach it is not the most functioning hotel. Marriot Status: 10/10Services: 6/10Amenities: 6/10Location: 9/10 Prior to My […]
Review: TownePlace Suites Colorado Springs Garden Of The Gods
Afterall it is a TownePlace Suites but is it a good one? Short answer is that yes. My grades aren’t on 5-star butler service but are reflective of the services you would expect at the TownePlace. Overall the TownePlace Suites Colorado Springs Garden Of The Gods was a good hotel for the cost and location […]
Review: The Residence Inn/Manhattan Times Square
It’s what you want because its practical but service is horrible. Unfortunately my 10 night stay at this Residence Inn Manhattan Times Square hotel was not very good. It did have some upsides including its location and a breakfast option if you manage to get there in time! This is far from luxury compared to […]

However, if you a United MileagePlus Premier Gold or higher, you have Star Alliance Gold Status which gives you some added benefits. This is the Air Canada Lounge hack. Star Alliance Gold […]
Review: The St. Regis New York
The St. Regis New York hotel is an exceptional city hotel with classic luxury. This category 8 hotel running at a minimum of a ~$1,000-1500 per night was a no-brainer to book on points for an extended long weekend in the city. As you might be aware, Marriott is offering redemption rates for category 8 hotels […]
Business Review: Marriott at Brooklyn Bridge
The Marriott is the third hotel I have reviewed in Brooklyn New York. As a Category 5 hotel, it is much superior to the Sheraton Brooklyn, also a category 5, and the Aloft Brooklyn hotels. Of course it is no St. Regis but for your business hotel its a great option with a very respectable lounge. […]
Business Review: Aloft New York Brooklyn
The Aloft in Brooklyn is a more up to date hotel then its next door neighbour, Sheraton Brooklyn. The hotel is what you would expect from an Aloft and there is nothing special about this hotel. The only complaint I have is the air conditioner. It is very loud. For this reason alone I would […]
Review: The Crane Resort – Barbados
The Crane Resort is the oldest hotel in the Carribbean dating back to 1887. It has changed much since the original historical property that still sits cliffside but all for the good. This is one of the best hotels I have been to. It strikes the appropriate balance between nice and formal while not being […]
Business Review: Sheraton Brooklyn
For the business traveller sometimes simpler is better for your weekly stay. The Sheraton in Brooklyn is a decent sized hotel that offers the basics. If you are going to stay here expect only the basics. The hotel is clean and the staff are friendly, however the hotel is dated. As of writing this I […]
