Mr Stork, Singapore Food Review 

) and wanted to try some of their restaurants. We visited, sans reservation, during our weekend stay with the intent of sampling both food and happy hour beverages. Great food with great service marred by unrelenting direct sunlight. Would definitely visit again, opting for post-sunset dining experience.

"Andaz Singapore aims to spark a sense of discovery of the rich culture and heritage of the city and inspire you to experience it with a fresh perspective. Situated at the crossroads of the Kampong Glam, Little India and Bras Basah Bugis districts, our luxury hotel captures the essence of a traditional shophouse-filled alleyway, recreating the spirit of the surrounding neighbourhoods." - 

Andaz Singapore, by Hyatt hotel review 

We loved the Andaz Singapore's central location and the exceptional service we received from the staff. Our room was clean and quiet, and we appreciated the well-stocked mini-bar and effective electronic shades. However, we found the light switches confusing and the bed a bit too firm for our liking. While the rooftop bar, Mr. Stork, and the Cantonese restaurant, 5 on 25, offered delicious food, the gym and pool felt small and crowded, and we felt the hotel was expensive for what it offered and would look to stay somewhere else on subsequent visits to Singapore.

Cosmo's Snack Bar Restaurant Review

After checking social media & learning about Cosmo's Sunday BOGO 50% off, we decided to try them out. Arriving promptly at 355 pm (they open at 4 pm) allows for the first choice of seating in the intimate dining room. We picked a table near the entrance to the back patio & then promptly went to the counter to order. Overall we had a great experience & would definitely return in the future.

"Located at The Summit, Reno’s premier shopping destination, our new hotel in South Reno, Nevada delivers an elevated experience blended with casual comfort. Stay steps from boutiques, multiple dining outlets and outdoor activities—all in a welcoming space that brings the vibrant Reno and North Lake Tahoe region to life. Surrounded by the scenic Sierra Nevada mountains and just minutes from Mt. Rose – Ski Tahoe resort, downtown Reno and the Riverwalk District, casinos and Reno-Tahoe Airport (RNO), our ideal location places you near the best the area has to offer." - 

Hyatt Place South Reno Hotel Review

We found the Hyatt Place South Reno to be a bit of a mixed bag, but leaning towards positive with a few caveats. The location was fantastic for us, with easy access to shopping, dining, and the ski resorts. We also appreciated the affordable "Members Save More" rate and the clean environment throughout the hotel. The free parking was a nice bonus too!

However, we were disappointed that the service was lacking, particularly at the front desk where we encountered a rather disinterested agent. We also weren't given any information about the amenities, and to our surprise, the pool was closed without any prior notice. The Wi-Fi was advertised as high-speed, but we found it to be quite glitchy. The gym was uncomfortably hot, and we had some concerns about security with the elevator access.

Ultimately, we think it depends on what you're looking for in a hotel. If location and value are your top priorities, and you're willing to overlook some shortcomings in service and amenities, then it could be a decent choice. But if you're hoping for a seamless and well-rounded experience with attentive service and fully functional amenities, you might want to consider other options.

3rd & Fernwood Restaurant Review

We recently had the pleasure of dining at 3rd & Fernwood and were thoroughly impressed. The food was not only delicious, but beautifully presented, making each dish a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. The service was top-notch; our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel well-cared for throughout the evening. We also appreciated the clean and inviting atmosphere, which added to the overall enjoyment of our meal. While the prices were perhaps a tad higher than we'd typically prefer, the quality of the food and the overall experience more than justified the cost. We left feeling completely satisfied and are already planning our return visit. 3rd & Fernwood is a true gem and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

In the center of Charlotte, you’ll find our hotel minutes from The Market at 7th Street and the Spectrum Center. The Bank of America Stadium and the NASCAR Hall of Fame are nearby. We offer meeting space, a business center, free hot breakfast, and a fitness center. After a busy day, relax at our First Ward Social Bar and Kitchen. -

Homewood Suites by Hilton Charlotte Uptown First Ward Hotel Review

This hotel offers a mixed experience. While the spacious suites, well-equipped kitchenettes, and good value for the price are definite positives, several drawbacks prevent a wholeheartedly positive recommendation. Issues like low water pressure, thin walls, slow WiFi, and a poorly functioning dishwasher detract from the overall experience. The lack of central air and inconvenient bathroom lighting further add to the list of cons.

Consider this hotel if spaciousness and a kitchenette are priorities and you plan to spend minimal time in the room. However, if amenities like strong water pressure, reliable WiFi, and a peaceful environment are important to you, explore alternative options.

Tru by Hilton Brooklyn Hotel Review

We needed a hotel within walking distance of Barclay's & after initially booking a stay at the nearby TownePlace Suites, we saw the Tru was on the same block & for $200 less during our trip, so we switched. We've stayed at a Tru before & know they are a bare-bones Hilton brand which was perfect for our 2-night stay.

Nomad Las Vegas Hotel Review

A Stylish Stay with Connectivity Concerns

The Nomad Las Vegas offers a luxurious experience in a prime location with commendable service and a reasonable price point. The early check-in, prompt room service, and abundance of amenities enhance the overall experience. However, the hefty resort fee with lackluster inclusions, coupled with the unreliable Wi-Fi, detract from the overall value.

Despite the drawbacks, the Nomad Las Vegas presents a compelling option for those seeking a stylish and convenient stay on the Strip. However, guests should be aware of the resort fee and potential Wi-Fi issues.

Hyatt Place Dallas / Arlington is in the heart of Arlington’s Entertainment District, just steps from Six Flags Over Texas, and five minutes to Arlington’s famous AT&T Stadium. Our Dallas hotel makes it easy to check out a baseball game at Globe Life Park or catch a concert at Arlington’s newest attraction, TexasLive! Venue. - 

Hyatt Place Dallas/Arlington Hotel Review

Built in 1996 and renovated in 2014, the Hyatt Place Arlington is a good 2-night (max) base for those going to Six Flags or AT&T Stadium. In the future, even with our 2-night stay costing a total of $250, I would stay elsewhere as there is not much food/activities available in the area & the hotel was just okay.

Hyatt House Indianapolis/Downtown Hotel Review

We were in town for a Fever WNBA game & the Hyatt House is located directly across the street, which is a huge plus. We paid $380 for our 2-night stay, and with a spacious studio wth a kitchenette, this is a great base to attend an event at Gainbridge. If doing other activities outside the area, I would stay somewhere else.

Atlantic Fish Company Review

We stumbled upon Atlantic Fish Company just before the dinner rush and snagged a table, but we'd definitely recommend making a reservation, especially for later dining.

Our server, Karina, was an absolute gem! Attentive, friendly, and genuinely personable – she really elevated our experience.

And the food? Amazing! Seriously, we'd travel back to Boston just to savor those flavors again. The branzino was a highlight, and we loved that it came with two sides included.

A few minor observations: the tables for two are a bit cozy (read: small), and the bathroom is down a flight of stairs, which poses an accessibility issue.

But those are minor quibbles in an otherwise fantastic experience. Hot towels at the end of the meal were a lovely touch! Overall, Atlantic Fish Company is a must-try for seafood lovers in the Boston area. Highly recommend!

Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor Hotel Review

This was not my first option for a 2-night stay in Boston, however I had two free night awards to burn & the neighbouring Hyatt Regency Boston hovered around $400 per night. With a free hotel airport shuttle, it is just fine for a quick trip. On longer stays, I would stay elsewhere for more perks.

Astro Doughnuts & Fried Chicken Review

We always enjoy the fried chicken at Astro. They also have a variety of donuts with interesting flavor combinations, with the Maple Bacon and Key Lime Pie donuts being our favorites. While some donuts weren't as impressive, we had a positive experience overall. We recommend ordering donuts online as they tend to sell out. A minor drawback was the cleanliness, which could be improved.

Tiger Fork DC Restaurant Review

We had a great experience at Tiger Fork DC. While the restaurant is tucked away in an alley, which made it a little tricky to find, the delicious food and drinks were well worth the effort. We started with the Salt & Pepper Calamari, which was perfectly crispy and seasoned. For our main course, we shared the Beef Brisket Chow Fun, and it was fantastic – flavorful with plenty of tender brisket.

We also enjoyed the creative cocktails. The Victoria Harbour was silky smooth and semisweet, while the Nathan Road was a bit stronger but still very enjoyable. The Chinese Kitchen, with its flaming cinnamon stick, was a fun and flavorful experience. The Monkey King Bread was a tasty dessert, though we would have preferred it a bit softer.

The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was pleasant. While the location is a bit unusual, we appreciated the unique atmosphere. We'll definitely be back, especially for happy hour at the bar.

Park Hyatt Washington DC Hotel Review

, we booked a 3-night free stay, this time in a Park Executive Suite for $918 plus tax. Upgraded to a large corner Georgetown suite, we had more than enough space for our 3-night stay. The hotel is a good base 0.5 miles from the Foggy Bottom metro & walkable to Dupont circle. There are several hotels in the area yet the area is rather quiet & easy to navigate, would stay again.

"Co-Owners of Chaplin’s and Wilder Brother’s, Ari and Micah Wilder, created a playful and progressive beverage program which compliments Chef Myo’s cuisine. Every time you walk through the doors at Chaplin’s, expect to be transported to an era that shaped a culture based on entertainment and fancy!" -
