Hotel Tartini Piran, Slovenia
Cheery Hotel in a Special Town
by ulysses4
Pros: Warm welcome. Central location. Comfortable rooms for a short stay.
Cons: Parking lots two to three kilometers away.
I really love working class fishing ports, where tourism is incidental, and no one has tried to turn the place into a gentrified, sanitized version of the real thing. You are assured of meeting real people, having sublime seafood, and being close to a ...

Best Western Hotel Astoria Zagreb
Mixing Pleasure with Business
by ulysses4
Pros: Excellent location. Friendly staff. Comfortable, if not luxurious rooms.
Cons: Breakfast could use an upgrade. Furnishings a little dated.
Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, is more of a business than a tourist destination. The old town, many museums, theaters and churches afford the leisure traveler with some opportunities, but candidly this is not another Prague or Budapest. The Istrian and ...

Design Hotel Astoria Opatija
A Stunning Hotel in a Unique Resort
by ulysses4
Pros: Bold design. Spectacular setting.
Cons: A few design flaws, and very limited parking.
OK, I have a penchant, if not an addiction, for seacoasts and all kinds of towns that are attached to them: fishing villages, commercial ports, beach resorts, marinas and combinations thereof. Croatia has more than its share and Optaija may be the queen ...

Hotel Zagreb Bubrovnik, Croatia
Around the Corner From Dubrovnik
by ulysses4
Pros: Lovely setting. Attractive exterior. Pleasant neighborhood. Free or nominal cost parking.
Cons: Boring and spartan interior. Annoyingly bland breakfast.
Dubrovnik is probably the top tourist destination in Croatia, and with good reason. The Old Town is one of a kind in both size and beauty. Despite heavy damage in the 1991-2 war, it is back in business, and that business is tourism. There are only a few ...

Hotel Park, Split
A Classy Hotel Near But Not In the Center of Town
by ulysses4
Pros: A really lovely hotel with some classical style.
Cons: IF you don't like to walk, some distance from what you will want to see.
I love an elegant hotel, and nowadays there are far too few of them. Elegance may be a dated word, but how else to describe a tango, a Zegna suit or a Maserati. The Park Hotel in Split has been around since 1921 and appears to be well cared for, with ...

Marriott Berlin
Spectacular service and great location.
by l3it3r
Pros: Clean, Great location, good service, stellar breakfast
Cons: Little on the pricey side if it's out of your personal pocket because of location.
The Marriott Berlin is located at the spectacular Potsdamer platz.  Across from the main entrance is the Ritz Carlton, and beyond that is the impressive Sony Center.  The S and U trains are easily found, and with local restaurants catering to ...

Disneys Pop Century Resort Lake Buena Vista
Pop Century Resort - A dirty room is a deal-breaker, even at Disney.
by chelledun
Pros: Very low prices, great location, lots of options at food court.  
Cons: Our room.
Mr_chelledun and I recently returned from a long weekend at the Walt Disney World resort.  Due to budgetary constraints, we could only afford to spend two nights out of four in luxury at Disney's Contemporary Resort.  We opted to spend the ...

Hotel Imperial Vodice Vodice, Croatia
Not Quite Imperial
by ulysses4
Pros: Package tour hotel affords value, with excellent grounds and setting.
Cons: Substandard physical plant. Built for crowds.
Imperial may be a word that has gone out of fashion. Countries don't like to talk about empires any more. Emperors are an endangered or extinct species. Even the old Chrsyler Imperial, which may be back in 2009, is not what it used to be. Perhaps,I am ...

Hotel Park Rovinj Rovinj, Croatia
Around the Bay From Beautiful Rovinj
by ulysses4
Pros: Well maintained and beautifully situated three star hotel.
Cons: Breakfast uneven. Rooms could use a little more upgrading.
Another Park Hotel! This one has a picture perfect vantage point on the spellbindingly beautiful town of Rovinj. It is no wonder that Rovinj is featured in most Croatian Travel advertising. This is the view that has filled thousands of postcards and ...

Wyland Waikiki.  As of 2006, that is the new name for this hotel (formerly Ohana Waikiki Surf).  In 2006, the owner's did a $10 million renovation to this hotel and it really shows.  The hotel, while having older architecture, has ...

Sorensens Resort, Lake Tahoe
Sorensen's Resort: Comfy rusticity
by Penguinlady
Pros: Easily accessible year-round; comfortable cabins to fit all budgets
Cons: Right on the road
The Sierra Nevada range is some of the most rugged country in the US. If you want to escape civilization, this is a good place to do it; you can hike for days, either along the Pacific Coast Trail or off it, and not see another human being. But ...

New York Marriott Downtown
New York Marriott Downtown: You'll Pay Through the Nose, But this is Manhattan Baby
by jetbluefan1
Pros: Large rooms, clean and well maintained, great location
Cons: Smaller than anticipated bath, very expensive (but justified)
Time for another convention in the City - one that was going to end at midnight, and I still had to get to work the next morning. There was no way I was going to schlep back home to Long Island, sleep for three hours, then wake up just to schlep back to ...

Today, my husband Bill and I are celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary. We decided to take a trip in honor of the day, which is conveniently close to Veteran's Day. I was curious about Poland, which borders Germany to the northeast. I did a quick ...

Hotel Mediteran Zadar
Friendly, Adequate Hotel with Some Drawbacks
by ulysses4
Pros: Inexpensive hotel run by a caring family.
Cons: Plenty of steps to climb. Potentially rowdy neighbors. Distance from the city.
Zadar is an interesting and ancient city in Northern Dalmatia, Croatia, well worth visiting. There is a 9th century and an 11th century church in the core, and plenty of interesting buildings from various periods. It is a pity that most of the ...

Disneys All Star Sports Resort
Disney Shoots and Scores with a Fun, Cheap Place to Stay

Pros: Cheap but comfortable way to stay on Disney property
Cons: Pretty much just the basics
Disney fanatic that I am, I recently made my first trip to Disney World.  I went with a large group of friends.  Since we had to keep costs down, we stayed at the All Star Sports Resort.  (Rather ironic since few of us are sports ...

Great Wolf Lodge Williamsburg
Great Family Destination!

Pros: Plenty of fun for the family as well as a great location!
Cons: Some people might consider it a little costly if they don't use the waterpark much.
We were looking for a place to stay in the Williamsburg area and selected the Great Wolf Lodge. We expected it to be a perfect launching ground for day-trips in the area, while still providing plenty to do at the resort itself.  We weren't ...

Pros: clean, convenient location, pet-friendly, well-maintained for an old place
Cons: a tad tough to get to, no exercise or business center
It's surprising sometimes how much variability there can be across hotels in the same chain. A case in point is our stays on two consecutive nights in properties in the La Quinta chain - the first in Longview, Texas; the second in northwest Houston. Stay ...

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 ...

Atlantic City is making a break for the new breed of traveler who demands more than bed and baccarat.  The Water Club brings the cool elegance of New York and Miami to Atlantic City, or so goes the line of thinking.  The reality falls a ...

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 ...

Park Inn Nice Airport, FR
A Good View, Of the Runway

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 ...
