Hyatt City of Dreams, Manila, a Hotel Review

Manhattan Beach Marriott, A Hotel Review
There aren’t a lot of hotel options in Manhattan Beach, so when we had to head down for an early morning meeting, the Marriott seemed like the logical choice. Welcome to 1987! The Golden Girls would be proud! The Manhattan Beach Marriott has been around for a while, and its years are showing. The management and staff has done a good job of making sure that the public areas are quasi-renovated and cleaned, but there’s no mistaking...

But, with all the bad press lately, Trump hotels are taking a hit. The new Trump hotel...
Review: Parga Princess Hotel
Parga is a cute beach town on the west coast of Greece that experienced a tourist boom in the early 1970’s. During the high season there are direct flights from over a dozen European countries, and it’s been a secret hiding place for Europeans who have been in the know for decades. We booked this hotel for 75 euros through hotels.com via our TopCashBack shopping portal. If you...
