Fairfield Inn: Fairfield Inn, Middleboro, Mass. is okay, not great, not bad

Fri, 23 Jul 2004 23:55:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - The Fairfield Inn in Middleboro, Mass., is an okay hotel. Nothing special, nothing horrible. Simply put, it gets the job done, when you’re looking for a relatively inexpensive hotel that offers a good location. To me, the biggest advantage of this...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I love this place. Maybe it’s San Diego that I love the most, or the location of this place, or its proximity to the Gaslamp District, Horten Shopping Area, Olde Town, the airport, the convention center, the Seaport Village, Petco Field, Tijuana.....

Doubletree Hotel Lowell: When in Lowell, stay here

Sun, 9 Jun 2002 22:08:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I just spent a week at the Doubletree Riverfront in Lowell, Mass., and I could not have had a better stay.

I was in town for a workshop/convention, and we had a reduced rate of $109/night. I do not know their normal rate.

Sleep Inn: A bit expensive for a no-frills

Tue, 14 May 2002 17:05:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I needed a hotel in Newark, Delaware, close to the University of Delaware. I was to be in town for the weekend to work the NCAA lacrosse regional, and I wanted to be close to the school’s athletic venues. I also did not want to spend too much, and I...

Good Place to Get Crabs

Tue, 16 Apr 2002 19:16:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I went to the Phillips in the Baltimore Inner Harbor over the weekend with a group, 5 of us to be exact. It was a Saturday night, about 8pm.

You will need to make a reservation, but they give you a paged-type device to let you know when your...

FreeLotto: Free Money!

Mon, 18 Mar 2002 16:23:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - FreeLotto.com is exactly that- a free lotto game where you pick either 6 or 7 numbers and enter to win. If your numbers are drawn from the random drawing, you win!

Here is the trade-off: you enter for a chance to win money, and they collect...

If you're going to Albany, stay here

Wed, 13 Mar 2002 16:47:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - For starters, this is a nice hotel. It is a bit pricey, but then again, it is a Crowne Plaza. My stay was from Friday through Sunday night, and I was in Albany for the MAAC Basketball Tournament being held at the Pepsi Arena

LOCATION: Located...

Decent, at best

Mon, 1 Oct 2001 15:14:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I have now had this bright yellow Sport model for about 2 years. My old Remington was certainly on its last legs, so it was time for a new one.

I remember being attracted to it because of the wet/dry feature. years ago, I used a razor, and...

A Gem Nestled in Central Boston

Thu, 27 Sep 2001 14:58:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - Before I really get started, I must state that I do really enjoy the New England Aquarium. I’ve been there twice now, and I really enjoyed it both times. I would recommend that you go, if you have the chance.

The cost is fairly cheap,...

This Qualifies as World Famous?

Thu, 27 Sep 2001 13:14:56 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I am not exactly a zoo connoisseur, but I have been to a bunch of different zoos in different cities. Living in New York, I have been to the Bronx Zoo maybe 25 times in my 30 years of existence.

The San Diego Zoo was, in one word, a bust. The...

Perhaps it's time these sequels went the way of real dinosaurs...extinction

Fri, 27 Jul 2001 18:46:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I am not a big movie goer, but I have been a fan of the Jurassic Park series. It is difficult to not compare the third edition with the first two, but maybe it is time they stopped making more Jurassic park movies.

The movie was also had a...

For once, it actually worked

Thu, 21 Jun 2001 16:26:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I had to find a one-way flight from Albany, NY down to BWI, and fast. I had never flown Southwest before, since the closest airport they serve is three hours away.

But here I was, heading to Albany, and needing to find a flight to BWI. I...

Another cookie-cutter stadium

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - UPDATE: While I am sure it will be missed, I AM GLAD TO SEE THIS BUILDING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will resist the urge to knock the Vet simply because that's what everyone does. I was not on the field, so I will not comment on how the artificial turf is...

Holiday Inn Hotel and Resorts Chain: Off to the Races

Thu, 21 Jun 2001 15:16:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I stayed at the Holiday Inn in Saratoga Springs, NY. There are only two reasons this hotel even exists in Saratoga Springs: Skidmore College and Saratoga Racetrack.

The hotel is a short drive to the track, and an even shorter

This is it?

Fri, 6 Apr 2001 14:57:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I have been a long-time Maiden fan, and was pumped up about Iron Maiden producing their own video game. Lets face it, who else has the guts to produce and get away with having their own video game? KISS maybe, but I digress.

For those who are...

3-2-1-CONTACT!

Thu, 5 Apr 2001 15:51:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I can easily see how Contact won the 2000 Tony Award for Best New Musical. I thoroughly enjoyed this collection of three short plays.

I was curious before hand how they would work three separate plays and one intermission into 2 hours and 15...

Good location, so-so hotel

Fri, 9 Mar 2001 14:27:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I recently spent a weekend at the Raleigh Hotel in beautiful Miami Beach.

Perhaps the biggest benefit of this hotel is its location. Right on the beach, just north of South Beach strip. The grounds are nice, with a pool out back, joined by a...

Oh Rocky!

Mon, 26 Feb 2001 19:52:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I am quite a fan of the Rocky Horror Picture Show, having seen it hundreds of times over the years. And I do not mean the watered down version you get on VH1 either.

Having a clue what this is about will help. I attended with my girlfriend-- a...

A Must See

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I am a native New Yorker, and used to go to Radio City with my parents every few years. I had last been to see the Christmas Show maybe three years ago with a friend, and had a great time. This year, I went again, this time with my girlfriend, who is...

Truly a SUPERdome

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 17:46:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - This was the second opportunity I have had to be inside the Superdome, but it was the first game that I have seen. I was fortunate to watch the 2001 Nokia Sugar Bowl featuring Miami and Florida. Good game, even better facility.

For starters,...

Stay Away from this dump

Fri, 5 Jan 2001 17:32:14 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I was fortunate enough to be in New Orleans for New Year’s Eve 2000-2001. The Sugar Bowl looked like it would be a good game, and the thought of Bourbon Street on New Year’s Eve was quite enticing.

This hotel sits on the corner of Bourbon and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - I was fortunate enough to catch the Ravens’ regular season finale against the New York Jets at this purple-clad stadium, right in downtown Baltimore.

SURPRISE!

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 19:44:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - Who would ever think that you could get tremendous barbecue right in the heart of Times Square?

It seems like a contradiction of terms: great barbecue and Times Square. But the juxtaposition works like a charm.

STEP ONE: Make a...

Solid Division III Programs

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 16:06:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cjg - To state that Hobart and William Smith have successful athletic programs is a bit of an understatement. Both are strong from top to bottom, and several teams each year advance past the conference level and compete on the national level.
