Hotel Reviews – Sheraton Cleveland Airport Hotel

Airport hotels. *sigh* From my recent reviews, you would think I lived in them. Oh wait, that is because I practically do. Alrighty then. The Sheraton Cleveland Airport Hotel is another one of those properties where I’ve had a number of stays across several years. I love it for both its convenience (a short hop…

Hotel Reviews – Hyatt Regency Minneapolis

A recent stay at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis illustrated to me how a hotel renovation can turn a tired business space into a fresh brand vision. I’ve stayed at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis every couple of years for the last decade to attend an annual trade event that regularly rotates through various cities.  My last stay was…

Hotel Reviews – Hyatt Place West Palm Beach

I sometimes experience a strange sense of deja vu when checking into a chain hotel.  “Have I been here before?”, I wonder.  The Hyatt Place West Palm Beach is NOT one of those properties where this happens.  It won’t happen for anyone because it’s distinctive enough as a downtown-styled Hyatt Place property that it stands out…

Hotel Reviews – Sheraton Suites Market Center Dallas

The DFW Metroplex is geographically a very large area.  That fact is something I regularly have to remind out of town friends when they visit.  When I moved to Fort Worth seven years ago, many of them thought it was simply a matter of moving to a new neighborhood.  It wasn’t.  While my home airport…

Hotel Reviews – Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel & Conference Center

My hotel reviews always cover what I actually see of a hotel.  Due to my erratic travel schedule, that can often be a limited slice of hotel life as I frequently check in late and check out early.  Nonetheless, that sometimes gives a truer portrait of what it is like to stay at a hotel, such as my recent…

Hotel Reviews – An Update – Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport

When reading hotel reviews online, its always good to remember that YOUR experience may vary.  Sometimes even two stays in a row from the same guest can feel different!  I reviewed the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport back in May and then returned recently. Here’s my update: Check In I reported some hiccups with self check-in last…

Hotel Reviews – Sheraton New York Times Square

I don’t make it to Manhattan nearly as often as I used to.  My work doesn’t generally take me there (into one of the airports, perhaps, but not into the city itself) and I’ve hit the age where many of my friends who lived there have now migrated to another borough.  When I do venture…

Alt text: The image shows the entrance of a Courtyard by Marriott hotel. The building has a brick facade with the "Courtyard" sign in large green letters and "Marriott" in smaller red letters. There is a covered driveway leading to the main entrance, with a white car parked in front. A sign indicating a reserved parking space for people with disabilities is visible on the right side of the image. The area is landscaped with grass and some plants.

Hotel Reviews – Courtyard by Marriott Richland WA

Conceptually I love “aspirational travel” (you know, the thought that I could just hop from Four Seasons suite to St. Regis penthouse in between the time on my yacht or my villa in St. Tropez). The reality is for me, that’s a vacation dream at best – an aspirational goal, not a day-to-day reality. I…
