Le Pavillon Hotel
Close but far enough away
by kldavis99New Member
Pros: Walking distance to all attractions, attentive service, PB&J and Hot Chocolate
Cons: Parking, if not part of a package.
This is the first time my wife and I have visited New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina.  So heading back to New Orleans brought a sense of wonder as to how the city has faired as compared to what is spoon fed to you in the news.  We had ...

Hilton San Francisco
SF Hilton (O'Farrell Street) -- to stay or not to stay, that is the question
by attickah
Pros: Easy access to public transit and 'tourist' attractions, good selection and view at restaurant
Cons: You might have to sell your car to pay for parking, NOTHING is free
I have stayed in this hotel two separate occasions now while in San Francisco for leisure-travel, at the end of 2007 summer and at the beginning of summer in 2008.  Both times I have been pleased with the quality of the accommodations, though the ...

Pros: great location, comfortable bed, mini fridge, up-to-date bathroom
Cons: Walls are thin, seemed to be a party place, parking terrible
Overall, the experience was fine.  The room was clean, but decor outdated.  Nothing fancy.  Ideal for young singles since the club is right down the street and lots of them stayed here anyway, coming and going at all hours of the night. ...

Pros: As close as you can get to the Nice airport. Very friendly staff.
Cons: Claustrophobic rooms done in kindergarten colors. You pay for the airport proximity.
One stays on the periphery of an airport for a number of reasons. An early flight the next day. A late flight coming in. A business meeting. Greeting an arriving passenger. Sadly, these hotels and motels usually are generic and a cut below their city ...

Hotel Ristorante Al Mulino, Italy
A Good Transformation

Pros: Quality hotel just off the autoroute. Decent, if not extraordinary food. Polite welcome.
Cons: Somewhat austere business atmosphere.
Old factory buildings often fade into oblivion. Taking an old property and giving it a new life certainly benefits a community. In this case, an old mill on the outskirts of Alessandria, Italy (in the San Michele neighborhood to the northwest) has been ...
