I can't imagine they get much better

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 23:32:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - My husband and I batted around the idea of getting a steam cleaner for years. I'd read all kinds of horror stories about leakage and poor performance, and just wasn't sure it was worth the expense or hassle--that is, until we got a puppy. We were...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - I have stayed at a lot of hotels from the truly grimy to the opulent, but the Michigan State University Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center managed to surprise me with unexpected size challenges and design solutions. First things first...this is a...

Attractive and efficient...gets the job done

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - Living in the Midwest, and with gas prices through the roof this year amid predictions that heating bills could TRIPLE this winter, I've rapidly become a paranoid, anal-retentively-obsessed lunatic when it comes to our heating and electricity bills...

Great for conferences and business people

Thu, 10 Nov 2005 23:56:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - I recently attended a 4-day conference held at the Hyatt Regency Downtown Atlanta. While I did not sleep here, others in my party *did* have rooms here, so I spent a lot of time in their room, as well as the rest of the hotel. The Hyatt Regency...

A baby Southwest and wannabe JetBlue

Mon, 7 Nov 2005 00:44:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - Recently, I had to make the roughly 500 mile flight to Atlanta, GA, I had the choice of many airlines. Delta, United, and Air Tran. Though I'd never really heard of Air Tran before a couple of months ago, I chose them because quite simply, they had the...

Three stars, but don't expect too much

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - I just returned from a conference in Atlanta, GA. My conference was actually held at the Hyatt downtown Atlanta, which sold-out, so I had to stay elsewhere. Via Priceline, I wound up at the Omni at CNN Center. According to the website, the Omni at...

The Home Depot Online Store: Unreliable order info, poor communication with customers

Sun, 6 Nov 2005 19:19:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - When I think of Home Depot, I think of the place that carries almost any kind of tool one might need. So when it came time to purchase a leaf blower/vac, and after reviewing models on Consumer Reports, I did a search for the brand of blower I was...

Gangs, thieves and murderers...and this was in the 1800's!

Tue, 3 Jun 2003 02:58:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - I just saw the Gangs of New York at the dollar theater today. Well, actually, it cost me $2, but who's counting? Anyway, I went begrudgingly with a friend after I had avoided it because, quite frankly, it looked boring and I'm not a huge fan of little...

Doesn't hold up to the Hyatt name

Tue, 27 May 2003 18:41:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - This hotel is conveniently located downtown Cincinnati near the Ohio River, ample shopping (it's attached to Saks Fifth Avenue) and plenty of entertainment. We selected the Hyatt over other comparably priced hotels because of our previous positive...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - Indianapolis, Indiana is a unique, exciting and up-and-coming metropolis. Downtown Indy is rapidly becoming a bustling urban center, while also maintaining charming elements of being in Southern Indiana. The Hyatt Regency is at the epicenter of it all...

Mon, 17 Mar 2003 03:14:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - This hotel is a sleeper. I fell into this hotel by chance and am so glad that I did. Located on the north side of Fort Wayne, just off I-69, this hotel's location is very convenient.

Parking is free and plentiful. They even have two, prime...

Mon, 17 Mar 2003 02:35:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - We are considering moving to Fort Wayne, so we decided to stay here in the heart of the city. Unfortunately, we arrived and quickly learned that there isn't much to downtown Fort Wayne. I want to preface my review by saying that when I arrived at the...

Good fun for the price

Mon, 6 Jan 2003 18:31:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - This game is a sleeper hit. I have owned Airline Tycoon for about two years now. We bought it on a discount software rack for a little of nothing, and have more than gotten our money's worth.

The object of the game is to build a successful...

Fast Food Tycoon: Pitiful

Mon, 8 Jul 2002 14:23:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - I LOVE strategy and simulation games. I own almost all of the Sim titles (even the kiddie ones), plus many more. So when I saw this game, I just couldn't resist. I should have resisted.

I got the game home, installed it and *tried* to play...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - I ignored ads for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon until the Oscars. After seeing scenes throughout the awards show, it finally got my attention.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - If you are into simulation games (i.e., SimCity, Transport Tycoon, Railroad Tycoon, etc.), this game is for you! I own most of the simulation games and this is one of my favorites.

Titanic this ain't

Fri, 25 May 2001 23:42:40 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - OK...Just left the theater moments ago. First thing I thought about after I left the theater was, we just watched a THREE HOUR movie and I can only remember ONE character's name.

Not a good sign. This director basically took the book from...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - This urban comedy can be summed up in one word. Characters. It's raw, it's in-your-face and it's hilarious!

Chris Tucker (Smokey), Ice Cube (Craig), John Witherspoon (Craig's dad, Mr. Jones) and Tom "Tiny" Lister, Jr. (Deebo) shine...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - After owning a 19" as our main television set for the last 6 years (and prior to that it was a 13" black and white), this baby was a real LUXURY to us when we bought it.

The '57 Chevy of Music

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 16:28:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - This album is a classic. Not one bad song on the CD. I can still remember the first time I saw the video for Evenflow. Watching Eddie Vedder perform that song. Wow. It was the first time I had ever heard of the band called, "Pearl...

One bite and you'll leave speaking Spanish

Tue, 12 Dec 2000 13:41:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author dennisfan - Located in the barrio (neighborhood), this is real, authentic Mexican food. Since the name is a bit cumbersome, me and my latina friends simply used to call it, "Burrito Heaven." (Although the correct pronunciation is tek-cah-leet-lahn.)
