Decent, old-looking hotel in the center of Brussels

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 10:23:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author patra7 - I stayed at this Brussels hotel for one night in early 2007, booked by my employer. The hotel’s location is probably its greatest asset. It is located right next to a Metro Station (Rogier) on the central line and it is within short walking distance...

A good choice for Gatlinburg

Wed, 30 Jan 2008 21:41:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patra7 - We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights (120 USD/night), during our trip to the US in October 2007. We had a bit of a hard time orienting ourselves in Gatlinburg and locating the hotel, as we arrived late at night. We had no problem with the late check-in...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author patra7 - First of all, let's clarify that the name of this hotel is "Ibis St. Catherine" (obviously, the name field in the epinions database didn't have enough space allocated for the whole name to appear!). It is right next to the St. Catherine metro...

Excellent selection of an excellent creator

Wed, 8 Jan 2003 21:22:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author patra7 - I first came across Ken Nordine's work accidentally, through an old double LP, called "How Are Things In Your Town?" (Blue Thumb Records) which was also a sampling of some of his previous works. It was 6 years ago (1997) while I was a radio host at...

This was a good buy!

Tue, 7 Jan 2003 22:53:12 GMT

Spedia: Scam!

Tue, 6 Nov 2001 21:14:33 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author patra7 - Spedia looked like a very good program... until I requested payment!
