I meant Allentown PA in the sm
body of report should have proof read
tried one in hotel
tried one in hotel, it was ok, but not my favorite, maybe if more pillow top. My wife seemed to like it.
No, stayed at hotel right near it, though.
Most of the places in M. Beach offer a package deal such as the one you describe. We have stayed at Compass Cove and Caravelle and both offered family value packages that include the suite, buffet breakfast daily, and tickets to local attractions. We are going back to Compass Cove this year, in fact. Both Caravelle and Compass Cove also renovated over the last year. Have you checked sites like Travelocity? Sometimes they have customer reviews that can be very helpful. Are you taking children? If so, I would recommend Compass Cove or Caravelle, either one. However, Monterey looks like a very nice place from the outside, at least!
Hope you have fun! :) When are you planning to go? We usually go towards the end of August. Rates are even better then. ;)
Also check with the hotel -
to be sure that their internet service will allow you to connect to your VPN, if you use one. I have had a few occasions when travelling that I was unable to connect to my VPNs and was not able to work. It had something to do with the hotel's internet security settings not allowing it.
Depends on your hotel.
If you stay in a large chain (Hilton, Holiday Inns and such) and you are not in a rural area you will usually find high speed and you pay for the time you need - say $9.95 per day to use their connection. You just bring your PC or laptop, connect and voila! If it is dial up .. either change hotels or prepare for longer waits or perhaps not being able to work depending on your situation. The other writer is correct to mention calling your hotel to be sure. Actually some hotels have the service "free" now.
Onesuite in hotel
That is exactly what I'm doing when I travel. I use my Onesuite account and dial an 800 number from my room and save on ridiculous charges from hotels.
Now you can also use its voip feature if your hotel has a good internet connection and you have your laptop with you. Saves you the trouble of dialing the 800 number or worry about getting charge for that 800 call.
I've never had any problems with hotel.com
The best thing to do would be to call the customer care number 1-800-219-4606 CST. I do know that they always charge your card for the full amount of the stay, but if they didn't have the room, it should have all been refunded. I thought that when you book through a website like this each website booking company has a set number of rooms available in the hotel. If the hotel used one of the rooms set aside for hotels.com without the knowledge of hotels.com, then the hotel would be responsible for giving you an upgraded room. If there were no rooms available at all, then hotels.com should refund everything (not sure about the overage charge, though).
If you have ever worked as a hotel housekeeper, you'd know.
Let's see, here. People can't hit the toilet. People can't hit their mouths with their food. People do nasty, kinky things and leave it for the "maid" to deal with. People do illegal and immoral things, and also leave those for the "maid" to clean up. The hotels are hush hush about it so they don't lose clientele. The "guests" treat the housekeeper like a peon. You are only there to serve them in their superiority. Most of your coworkers don't speak English.
Glasses in hotel rooms. Uh Oh...
And people worry about the local water
This is a must read! Our health when traveling depends on what we know about hotel practices.
desk clerk at a low-budget hotel -
I called in sick with the flu, and that night the place was robbed at gunpoint. I had never been so happy to be sick!
This is a fantastic idea actually (renting hotel room)
It may be tax deductible. I actually like my home and it is affordable as I got it at a low price several years ago and put a big down payment on it. In other words, I doubt if I could repeat this. No small children. What I am thinking of is that I will probably have to work until I am 60 at least. The only other option would be to go back to school and get training in another skill but even that seems difficult. I have no idea what I could learn and work at other than nursing.
Thank you very much
Just got back on a Timeshare trip - cost - 200 and included 3 nights hotel
and tickets to a bunch of free stuff! It was fun. Was it worth it? I am not sure! We got hounded pretty bad about 'buying a timeshare' but it was very affordable! Beautiful place too!
Aladdin is a nice hotel, nicer than Excalibur but comparable costs.
And it's in the middle of the Strip, so if you plan to do walking you have the Bellagio, Paris, etc. close by.
