Will never stay here again.

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 20:37:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - Room: Our room smelled old. Musty or something, but bad. It was a decent size. On the small end, but close to average. It also had a microwave and refrigerator. The bathroom was really nice--it looked like it had recently been redone. The room...

Raymondskill Falls: Beautiful

Sun, 25 Mar 2007 14:10:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - When my husband and I visited Raymondskill Falls, it was totally unplanned. We were driving back from our honeymoon and had seen several signs for different waterfalls along the way. (They were little government-type "official" road signs, not billboards...

Funspot: One Spot, Lots of Fun!

Thu, 7 Jul 2005 06:58:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - ”Is this heaven?” “No, it’s New Hampshire.” Our family, friends and complete strangers encouraged us to honeymoon at a place like the Poconos or a Sandal’s resort. We decided that those places weren’t our style...

Iffy Eats

Fri, 24 Jun 2005 21:40:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - I used to live close to a Steak & Shake and I remember visiting it at least a couple of times. My friend found a hair in her cheese fries while we were eating there once. Other than that, the visits weren't very memorable. Recently I visited Steak &...

Magic Castle Inn & Suites: It's A Neon Castle . . .

Fri, 24 Jun 2005 20:02:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - I visited this hotel around the second week of June, 2005. I had had a very pleasant experience a few years earlier at a different Magic Castle Inn and so this Magic Castle was among my top choices for this trip. The Magic Castle hotel that I had...

Sun Valley Cottages: Cozy Cottages In The Woods

Wed, 22 Jun 2005 01:23:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - The staff members at Sun Valley Cottages are all very nice and helpful. When we made our reservation over the phone, the lady we spoke with was very polite and seemed happy that we were going to be staying. She called us back to confirm some...

Hampton Inn Danville Pa: Nice, but not spectacular

Sun, 19 Jun 2005 17:45:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - Our stay at the Hampton Inn in Danville, PA was a bit disappointing. We had previously stayed at a Hampton Inn in another location and were expecting the same level of quality. Although this hotel was by no means bad, it just didn’t live up to our...

Average

Sun, 19 Jun 2005 17:34:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - We chose this specific hotel because we were getting tired and found discount coupon for it in a travel book that we picked up at a rest stop. The hotel was out of rooms available at a discounted rate. The only rooms available would be $20 more, so we...

Hampton Inn Altoona PA: Live in Luxury

Sun, 19 Jun 2005 17:25:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - The Hampton Inn in Altoona, PA was beautiful. The staff members were all exceptionally friendly and made us feel genuinely welcome. Everything in our room and throughout the hotel was very clean and comfortable. The lobby areas, swimming pool, and...

Days Inn Fayetteville North: Deceptive

Sun, 19 Jun 2005 17:13:56 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - I was planning a trip with the majority of travel down I-95. I was making the trip with two other “adults” (I put adults in quotes because are over 18, but all young enough not to care about each having our own bed, etc. You will see the relevance of...

Very Horrible

Sun, 19 Jun 2005 13:47:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - This Comfort Inn is located in Ocean City, MD. It is a few miles north of the Boardwalk. You may also book a room with a view, or without a view. Our room was without a view (cheaper) so I don't know how nice "the view" was. Our view was of some...

Watch Them Work!

Thu, 18 Dec 2003 23:43:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - The Magic of Disney Animation takes you “behind the scenes” to see how Disney animation is made. There is a medium amount of walking to be done, and the tour begins and ends in an auditorium. On the tour, you get the opportunity to view storyboards,...

"How Reading Changed My Life" Will Not Change Yours

Sat, 26 Apr 2003 01:52:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - A review of: How Reading Changed My Life by Anna Quindlen. Ballantine Books, 1998. It’s a cold day. You hurry from your house and quickly clamor into your car. The initial impact is comfortable. The car is familiar and the sun has been...

Rent It

Sun, 24 Jun 2001 10:11:19 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - Except for the terrific special effects, and the fact that the big-name stars (except Chris Rock) from the first movie returned, this is basically a direct-to-video sequel that they decided to show in theaters instead. I really liked the first Dr...

Beyond Your Wildest Dreams

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 05:24:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - This is the true story of Chris McCandless--A young man who abandoned his family, assumed a fake name, and hitchhiked to Alaska. After arriving in Alaska, he entered the wilderness alone, and died.

Archived Electronics Reviews: EMERSON EHP1000 Wireless Headphones

Fri, 13 Oct 2000 04:25:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - These headphones are terrific! Priced at under $30, they are less than half the price of their closest competitors. Along with the headphones you get instructions, a transmitter, an A/C adaptor, and two converter cables.

The headphones...

Goo Goo Dolls = Good Good Music

Wed, 9 Aug 2000 15:09:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - Why I Bought This CD

When I bought this CD, I was just starting to like the Goo Goo Dolls. I liked the song "Name" from their previous CD, and I fell in love with the song "Iris" that is from the City of Angels soundtrack...

Here We Gooooo!

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 01:50:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - This ride is housed inside a small, almost plain building. From outside, the building looks nothing more than nicely decorated, but what it holds inside is truly terrific. After waiting in line, you board a small sailboat, and begin your journey...

Archived Web Services Reviews: Shabang.com : No Bang For My Bucks

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 04:34:17 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - This site has been a big disappointment, and I would not recommend it to anyone, unless they are looking for a good way to induce a major headache.

The site doesn't have a very good navigational system, plus I kept running into dead pages. Some of...

Those Ears Look Familiar

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 11:45:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - This is the first ride so many people think of when they think of Walt Disney World. Why? For one thing, it is very photogenic. Since it is outside, instead of inside, it is often easier to get a nice, clear picture of this ride. It is also more like...

Runaway Train!

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 09:52:14 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - This is a decent rollercoaster. If you are looking for "excitement," this is one of the few Magic Kingdom rides for you. However, it pales in comparison to the big/scary coasters at other parks.

You can hear the "story" of Big...

Warning: You May Get Wet On This Ride

Sat, 27 May 2000 07:48:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - In this ride you do go down a long, steep waterslide in a log. If you stand outside the ride, you can watch other people as they plummet. Like almost every other ride in Walt Disney's World, though, Splash Mountain is so much more than it appears to be...

What Are You? Are You Chicken? :)

Wed, 10 May 2000 23:05:45 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - The Main Course

The focus of Kentucky Fried Chicken's menu is, of course, fried chicken. The problem? I don't like fried chicken. Yes, I do eat it sometimes, but something about picking meat off of bones really gets to me.

Is the building on fire??

Wed, 10 May 2000 22:42:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - A review of a fast food place? Not something you would expect to see in a typical newspaper's restaurant review column. But this is Epinions, and this is my review. :)

The Main Course

Unlike many (most?) other fast food places,...

Alas, Poor Caesar, I Knew Him Well

Wed, 10 May 2000 22:04:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author phyllisjoy - Little Caesars. Pizza! Pizza! Ah, I remember the days when if you bought from Little Caesars, you bought 2 pies at a time. Then they changed (maybe the cute gimmick was too confusing to customers) and began selling individual pizzas. For a while you...
