BlackBerry Thumb treatment


We live in a culture of internet addicts. Everyday it gets worse and worse. You know it is bad when words like 'CrackBerry' are invented and thrown around in terms of needing your BlackBerry to live. It sounds silly to some people, but to others it is just a way of life. The Sheraton Hotel chain has a ...

Hotel Employees don't get enough credit


Hotel employees work long hours for very little pay and even less credit. Talk to ten people and you will probably find at least five who have a negative hotel story. The problem with people is we tend to remember the negative and forget the good things. In fact, there are even websites devoted to painting the picture of hotel horrors.

A majority of these complaints are very valid and should be taken seriously. Honestly though, sometimes people complain for the wrong reason and blame employees for something they have absolutely no control over. A good example of this is construction on the streets outside the hotel ruining a vacation. Yes that would be bad, but you cannot necessarily blame the hotel and its staff because they do not control when a city decides to fix a street.

Relaxing in Vegas


I think everyone should hit up Las Vegas at least once in your life. Stay at a big hotel, gamble, party, enjoy yourself, stay up until 9:00 a.m. that sort of thing. But what about folks who have done the Vegas thing before, or are just there for a wedding and want to relaxing weekend that doesn't involve being surrounded by sweaty 20-somethings ...

Spooks, and ghouls, and ghosts oh my!


With Halloween just on the horizon I thought it would be fun to take a look at the darker side of hotels. No, this is not an undercover report about how unclean some hotel is. Today I am all about haunted houses and haunted hotels!

I'm sure a lot of people are rolling their eyes right no thinking there is no such thing as a ghosts, no real haunted houses and it is all just made up! So sure, you may have never seen a ghost, but you've never seen the wind right? We all know that wind is real, so why not just humor me and keep reading.

There are houses, old schools, hotels, even entire towns that are said to be haunted all over the world, each one of them with their own unique stories. A young child can be heard running around upstairs, lights turning on and off, articles of clothing mysterious disappearing and turning up in strange places, the faint image of a beautiful young lady in the window. One thing they all have in common is people swear that what they have seen is real, and who are we to deny them?

I'm going to try featuring one or two haunted hotels everyday until Halloween just to get into the spirit of Halloween. If you have any great ghost stories I would love to hear them. If I get some good ones I will feature them on the blog on Halloween!

Hotel bathroom changes


According the ConsumerAffairs.Com hotel guests who enjoy a relaxing bath to collect their thoughts at the end of a hard business meeting will have to request a bathtub in advance.
I never thought it would happen, but it is. Over 5,000 hotels across North America are replacing their bathtub/shower combination, a combination known and loved by millions of people, and replacing them with giant walk-in showers. Many of these new stylish ...
