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.

Review: The Residence Inn/Manhattan Times Square

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: 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 […]
A Weekend in Oklahoma City
