Rent-A-Wreck
Okay Temp Wheels, but for Travelers? FUHGEDDABOUTIT!!!
by mrkstvns
Pros: dependably low rates
Cons: no airport location, short hours, inconvenient locations
Now don't get me wrong here, I like Rent-A-Wreck. I like their down-home, down-to-earth attitude. I like the promise of being able to save a bit of green on rental cars. I like their philosophy. I just do NOT like them from the travel ...

Malvern, IA
Malvern, IA
by remnjava
Pros: A great little secret of a town.
Cons: At least 30 minutes from Omaha.
    Mal, does that mean bad, as my subconscious had me thinking? What about this little one horse town. Was there anything to DO there? Hubby and I discovered Pierce Crossing Guest House, a type of bed and breakfast that does ...

Great Wolf Lodge Williamsburg
Great Family Destination!
by jlandis44
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 ...

Disneys All Star Sports Resort
Disney Shoots and Scores with a Fun, Cheap Place to Stay
by carstairs38
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 ...

The Grace In Rosebank
Gracious Grace
by sheepdog
Pros: A very pleasant place to recover from a long flight.
Cons: Getting back to the airport. This is not a big deal.
When my tour operator booked us into the Grace, rather than using the airport hotel, I wondered if the modest journey into the city was worth the hassle. We were only passing through Jo'burg, on our way to Botswana. I'd used the Sun Intercontinental at ...

South Luangwa National Park
Mfuwe Lodge
by sheepdog
Pros: Luxurious, in a "rustic" way
Cons: If you "need" air conditioning and TV, this isn't the one for you.
I stayed at Mfuwe Lodge in early November 2008, and would recommend it highly to any other travellers.There are many places on the edge of the South Luangwa National Park where you can stay. Mfuwe Lodge is inside the park.The Lodge is run ...

Okavango Delta
A little pain for a lot of gain
by sheepdog
Pros: Exceptional guides, biology, vistas.
Wonderful "get away from it all" experience.
Cons: You have to understand that getting there takes time, stamina.
I first went to the Okavango in 2004 (Shinde and Kanana camps, with Ker & Downey)A chance to go back to Africa arose recently, and the fact that it was "again" to the Okavango distressed me not in the least.This time I went to the ...

Radio City Christmas Spectacular
HIgh Kicking Christmas Fun
by cusnwalter
Pros: Rockettes, Heart Warming Christmas Spirit
Cons: Crowded, Expensive Tickets
The 75th anniversary of the most spectacular show this holiday season, has "filled my heart with Christmas." As a local cynical New Yorker, obviously I went to the show not really expected that much. Yah, I figured that there would be the annoying ...

Manitou Cliff Dwellings Museum Colorado
Semi-Authentic Indian Cliff Dwellings on the doorstep of Colorado Springs
by trailhound
Pros: Good signage. Interesting buildings. ''Authenic'' looking. Great site for photographs. Small museum.
Cons: Value for the money. Not quite authentic (but accessible for more people).
I have seen Indian cliff-dwelling sites at New Mexico's Bandelier National Monument and have heard about the more famous structures at Mesa Verde in Colorado. However, until recently I did not know there was a similar Indian cliff dwelling site in ...

Extended Stay America-Atlanta/Alpha
We're glad they sent us to the Deluxe
by jenesis76
Pros: For the Rock Mill location: nothing. For Old Milton location, price.
Cons: Rock Mill: Dirty, smelly, hard to find. Old Milton: Few amenities, cramped room, see text.
Because the price was so good and our conference suggested it, we booked the Extended Stay America of Alpharetta online for a business trip. What a mistake! First, my husband and I had a nightmare of a time driving to this hotel because both Mapquest and ...

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 ...

Cons: Limited size, limited terrain for young or inexperienced skiiers
Nordpark is a ski area on Hungerburg, the massive mountain towering over the medieval town of Innsbruck Austria. It's a smaller ski area, but the snow is dependable at the peak, they offer night skiing, it has varied and challenging terrain, good ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Stitch's Great Escape

Pros: If a short line, good for killing time waiting for a fastpass on another ride.
Cons: Dark, loud, stinky, and not really fun.  Scary for young kids.
Unfortuantely, Disney really missed the mark on this ride.  If it was supposed to be intense, it was intense only in that its loud and busy.  And, it would be scary for young folks.  For adults, its just annoying.You are initially ...

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Favorite ride at any Disney park

Pros: Great atmosphere, and a great ride!   You'll want to ride multiple times!
Cons: Lines can be long, so use fastpass whenever the line is longer than 20 minutes.
I wasn't sure I was even going to get on the Tower of Terror ride, as I'm usually not too big of a fan of intense rides.  I'm 6'7" tall and often don't fit comfortably on these rides and get tossed around quite a bit.  I decided that I was ...
