I think it was around 6 AM and the room was literally shaking. Initially I thought it was an earthquake, but Manitoba is not California, so it couldn’t be an earthquake I reasoned. Then I realized, it was a freight train going by. It was like that scene from ‘My Cousin Vinnie’ when Joe Pesci wakes…
At least this is what comes up after a search on Google. HotelTonight is an hotel booking app, designed for same-day bookings and promises savings up to 70 percent off. I don’t know about the biggest innovation but I was curious whether it is the best app to use for last minute (literally) hotel booking. So…
I still have the confirmation e-mail* in my inbox and it bothers me that my options with regard to this promotion are very limited (almost non-existent). I mean I managed to get the other Club Carlson promotions (Mission Accomplished) but this one seems unreachable. However, I have thought of something: my plan is to have…
Tokyo was as I had expected, and I suppose all Asian metropolises look more or less the same (I might be wrong). However, Kyoto was a very nice surprise. It didn’t look like a large Japanese city even if its population is close to 1.5 million. No wonder Kyoto is on the position 12 on…
Club Carlson promotion: 1. Radisson, yes 2. Country Inns and Suites, yes 3. Park Inn, yes And I was reimbursed for all of them as I was on business, otherwise I don’t think I would have bothered. Park Inn was a close call, there are only 2 (two) hotels in Canada, in Vancouver and Montreal….
The book ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ is a bestseller (no, I have not read it and I don’t think I will) and being so famous the Edgewater Hotel in Seattle has come up with a package ’50 Shades of Romance’ that includes: • Sailing excursion on Puget Sound • Audi demo drive with University Audi • Bottle of Bollinger Rose…
I was curious what is best: book well in advance or just on the day of the check-in. Apparently the latter would be more advantageous as the hotels would sell a room at a deeper discount (less money still better than no money at all). However, hotels don’t do this as I suppose they don’t…

The link for the promotion is www.parkplazaultimatenightgiveaway.com/ and the link for the Park Plaza locations in the world is www.parkplaza.com/destinations/ (deselect the other Club Carlson hotels). I am planning on going to Europe this summer but unfortunately I will not be anywhere near any of the Park Plaza hotels. However, who knows how my plans will change. Perhaps…
New research showed that remotes and light switches are among the most contaminated items in hotel rooms. “Researchers from the University of Houston took bacteria samples from several items in hotel rooms in three regions of the United States. While the toilet and the sink were expected to have high levels of bacteria, researchers also…
