Hotels By City: Cheap Hotels, Hotel Guides & Hotel Blogs

My husband and I spent our anniversary at this hotel located on Hotel Plaza Boulevard, walking distance to downtown Disney and the Disney Marketplace.  We chose this location because we love Benihana, which is housed in the hotel.  We booked an executive level room, expecting peace and luxurious quiet.  Unfortunately we were met with loud unruly children, an over extended club lounge and ineffective customer service. 

When we arrived we were ...

The weather is so nice outside right now; you should go out and get some fresh air. And what better place to go out and experience the beautiful Orlando weather than downtown Orlando?

Lake Eola is my pick. Located at 195 N. Rosalind Ave, Lake Eola provides spectacular views of downtown Orlando, and is also surrounded by many restaurants and clubs. Instead of staying inside ...

Claddagh Cottage looks a little shady from the outside (because it's in a strip mall, be careful not to miss it!), but on the inside, it feels like you've been transported to Ireland. Irish beer is on draft, and although the drafts are a little expensive (somewhere around $3), it's definitely worth the trip to play some darts and take a look at the menu. The menu is limited to ...

If you are looking for something to do on Thursday nights, there are a lot of things popping off in downtown Orlando; the club scene along Orange Ave. is the most popular attraction.

I ventured out downtown last night with a few friends; our destination for the evening was club Tabu. There are many clubs to choose from along Orange Ave; some of them offer special discounts like free admission with ...

 When we first moved to Florida we were desperate for good pizza.  Sure we tried the Papa Johns and Pizza Hut route, but lets just say we were disgusted by what we received.  I would not go so far as to call it Pizza even, at least not to a New Yorker!  One day my mother and I were headed to get our hair ...

One of my favorite restaurants in the Orlando area is Roy's Restaurant.  Roy's offers Hawaiian Fusian cuisine.  What is Hawaiian Fusian cuisine?  In one word . . . delicious.   The Hawaiian Fusian Cuisine at Roy's features blends of European sauces and Asian spices with a focus on seafood. 

Before my first visit to Roy's I had never had Mahi Mahi, but after ...

Even though for us Orlando residents, International Drive conjures up images of insurmountable traffic jams and bewildered tourists it can be one of the best places to find a bargain. On Tuesday I went to meet some out of town guests and stumbled into that great place-the affordable Tuesday drinking and eating emporium..

Buffalo Wild Wings sits overlooking the Drive. It is situated on the Orlando City/Orange County Line and is ...

If you are looking for a good self-help or alternative therapy read then the Spiral Circle is for you.  The Spiral Circle is much more than a bookstore though!  You would be remiss to not take some time out to spend looking through the shelves and getting to know the people.  Spiral Circle is a spiritual center offering classes and group gatherings.  Their website, www.spiralcircle.com, ...

Alright race fans…it’s finally here!

 Speedweeks 2007 has started and if you are in town for all the festivities here are a few places to visit while you’re here.

 If you are looking for some tailgating supplies before the Busch Series race on Saturday, stop by the Farmers Market from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Riverfront Marketplace.

 The Market offers up fresh baked goods, seafood, fresh eggs, fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, ...

Scattered around the Walt Disney World complex are little gems that are worth a side visit.

One of these is the Boardwalk Resort located near Epcot Center. The resort is right out of Coney Island in the early 1900’s complete with a boardwalk containing shops, a dance hall and several dining options.

The Flying Fish Café is an upscale restaurant serving expertly prepared seafood dishes ranging in the $30-$40 range. On my ...
