HILTON AMERICAS
A Great Downtown Houston Hotel
by bbeisel
Pros: Great fitness center.  Comfy beds. Attentive staff. Modern, clean hotel
Cons: Several blocks away from all businesses.
I've had the pleasure of staying at the Hilton Americas in Houston on two occasions. I had previously stayed at the Houston Doubletree (also part of the Hilton chain) but was less than impressed. On my last stay at the Doubletree, my room often smelled ...

Kingston Plantation
Kingston Explained
by yungatheart
Pros: So many choices for accomodations.
Organized activities and super concierge.
Cons: You may have to call housekeeping for requests more than a few times.
The reason I titled this 'Kingston Explained" is that many people are confused about the property. In actuality, Kingston is several hotels, condos, apartment and duplex rentals. We have been there 3 times now and will be going back for a 4th with the ...

Country Inn-Suites Marion
New management ruined the hotel
by amisoo
Pros: Under the correct management, this hotel has the potential to be very accommodating and welcoming.
Cons: Under it's current management, it is nothing more than a slum.
In 2001, our family had a house fire and we lived at the Country Inn and Suites of Marion for 3 months. We had a suite on the 3rd floor, overlooking a gas station, Steak and Shake, another hotel, and the highway. It was never noisy despite the close ...

Hotel Grand Pacific
A good hotel, with a little effort, could be a great hotel
by no_ka_oi
Pros: Location   Cleanliness  Price to Value Ratio
Cons: Parking charges   Unhappy looking desk clerks 
Because I had a relative in Victoria's Royal Jubilee Hospital, I had the opportunity to stay at a number of Victoria Hotels over a two month period. I constantly returned to the Grand Pacific. I suppose it was mostly because of the price to value ratio. ...

The Tutwiler Hotel, Hampton Inn & Suites, Birmingham
The Tutwiler Hotel in Birmingham, Alabama
by Bounty628
Pros: Historic charm of old hotel with all the modern amenities.
Cons: Nothing to do in the general vicinity of the hotel.
Though the recent trip I took to Birmingham, Alabama simply was for a long weekend to catch a college basketball game, the need to have a nice place to lay my head at night was an important factor as it should be on any trip. Though not looking for ...

Bear Canyon Campground, MT
Camping with the bears (not really)
by Penguinlady
Pros: Well-maintained; gorgeous views
Cons: Too rainy to take advantage of some of the amenities
We headed south again from Glacier National Park toward Wyoming, but the weather was pretty miserable and we didn’t want to cross the state line into Yellowstone without a pre-booked place to stay at the height of the tourist season. We’d ...

Sometimes when you are in the midst of planning a guy's weekend to go catch some hockey and football games you initially think that staying at the Motel 6 is probably a viable option. After all, you are going to basically look to put your head down ...

Pros: Great service, nice decor, very good complementary breakfast, free Wifi, QUIET!
Cons: stuffy room, small double beds, only Spanish TV channels, somewhat seedy neighborhood.
Enticed by dirt cheap airfare on Mexicana, my family took a vacation to Cancun over Thanksgiving. The only little part we didn't like was that our return flight had a 13-hour overnight layover in Mexico City. I went looking for an inexpensive hotel near ...
