After a few stays in New York, I just want to remind people to check out there hotel carefully before booking. I would check on their website and Tripadvisor and other similar websites. It is also helpful to filter for the sort of room you will be getting. The hotel we stayed at in New […]
My recent experience at a hotel I had used before was disappointing. If you had this, would you go back again? Complain, leave them a bad review or do nothing? I like this hotel overall, and it is useful, but our last stay was a shambles. We arrived 45 minutes after the official check-in time,

I hadn’t been there for a while and when I visited this week, I wondered why? The place is the National Theatre. We booked easily and there isn’t really a bad seat in the house. The quality of the work is excellent. We saw Jack Absolute Flies Again, it was a great comedy, by the

You pay to see a film, show or concert and it is not as expected. You have another 2 plus hours of this what do you do? Do you leave there and then, trying to be as quiet as possible? Do you stay and wait until an appropriate time to leave, the interval in a
