Regal enough for Royalty

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:30:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author salme - During a one-week stay in Shanghai City, China, my husband and I stayed at this centrally-located hotel. Appropriately named, this hotel's ambiance and decor fairly dripped of royal trappings. Located in one of the downtown areas, far from the river,...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author salme - Nestled between a highway and another highway, this little barker will meet all of your most basic human needs. And little else. The last time I stayed there they were redecorating, which must have made an improvement no matter what they did. The...

Little Powerhouse for a Small Kitchen

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 14:05:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author salme - Though we enjoy our vintage, 70-year-old home, one of the drawbacks is the smallish 10x12 kitchen with limited counter space. I cook often, and enjoy it. But I was very tired of chopping onions, mixing meatloaf, and grating cheese by hand. The answer...

Don't move into THIS Neighborhood!

Wed, 2 Oct 2002 14:43:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author salme - Unbelievably bad. Horribly monstrously bad. Like Freddie's Neighborhood, it'll give you nightmares.

Paris Buffet is Best in Vegas

Mon, 15 Oct 2001 16:42:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author salme - The Vegas buffet is a cliche, an anachronism from Vegas' early mob years. No longer the cheap eats it once was, the Vegas buffet ranges from $15 for lunch to $25 for dinner. Along with the increase in price, and the increase in competition, is the...
