The room directly overlooked Dam Square, the bedding was heavenly, and it was the only European hotel room of the trip that I could call "spacious." And the room service breakfast? Lovely. Perfection in so many ways.<br /><br />Most recently, our stay in Anaheim was diviiiine because of the beds. I don't know what they put in them (probably powdered Valium and cotton candy) but I got the best five nights' sleep EVER.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472829208389593250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973382467619693432.post-60098377239484750092013-04-28T17:53:32.968-07:002013-04-28T17:53:32.968-07:00Bora Bora looks gorgeous.

I have to say, despite the beauty of it all, I was kind of disappointed. I think I'd much rather stay in a 3 star hotel and be closer to the center of town and in the mix of things to go exploring. However, Trump's hotels might be a fun adventure.<br /><br />Have fun with the rest of a-z. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300464291611313103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973382467619693432.post-88343789897908654162013-04-27T21:24:44.749-07:002013-04-27T21:24:44.749-07:00Boy that X word is a mouthful.

Again, thank you for that gift card. <br /><br />The hotel was all the more special after trying to find a room in a city where a major convention had all the rooms in anything worthwhile already booked. I finally found a room in a Travelodge... and when we checked in I asked for a room close to the internet router. Before we took our bags in, I hooked up my computer and after 5 minutes of trying to upload a photo to my blog and it wasn't even half done, I called the front desk and asked for my money back. Slow internet is too frustrating.<br /><br />The Palliser not only had great internet... even faster than we have at home... but in addition to a really great room, it had a good swimming pool and hot tub which we enjoyed... and a spectacularl breakfast. It was a most delightful stay after having no choices but Best Western along /Route 15 to Calgary.Sherwin Goerlitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819728977792967305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973382467619693432.post-770449246974384512013-04-27T13:15:50.437-07:002013-04-27T13:15:50.437-07:00I love staying in hotels too - there's somethi...I love staying in hotels too - there's something really fun about it.

Since I was a young girl I have driven by that hotel and sighed and smiled my 'someday smile'. <br /><br />We did stay at the Four Seasons in Edmonton, I believe, years ago, for a conference...we have stayed at some very comfortable hotels and we have stayed at some real 'dives'. But with almost 47 years under our married belts you can expect a little variety. <br /><br />I could be a xenodocheionologist! Just think, someone else cooking and cleaning so I can do the fun stuff!!<br /><br /><br /><br />The Islanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236754103248128056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-973382467619693432.post-68758906501768584162013-04-27T10:34:20.022-07:002013-04-27T10:34:20.022-07:00I think that hotel at Bora Bora looks quite nice :...I think that hotel at Bora Bora looks quite nice :).
