rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - It was getting late. We were getting tired. All we wanted was a hotel. Oh, with an indoor pool. You see, my family travels without reservations. As we headed down I-81, we saw the billboard for the Holiday Inn, with the magic words - INDOOR POOL...

Spacious for a family of 5

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 11:59:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - Traveling with a family of 5 always presents challenges. Who knew we were crossing into a "no travel" zone when we had our third child. The dilemna is always the same: Book 2 rooms and pray that even though they won't guarantee connecting rooms, you...

Dancing waters of Bellagio

Sun, 8 Aug 2004 00:09:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - The problem with reviewing the fountains of Bellagio is that you can't explain the impact in words. This is a must see experience. First, the most important point for people traveling like I do - on a shoestring budget. This is FREE, and it doesn't...

One giant commercial

Sun, 27 Jun 2004 16:39:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - The World of Coca-Cola is located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, directly across from the entrance to the underground. The beauty of this location is the nearby parking garages and tons of signs pointing you in the right direction. The downside, of...

Palatial accommodations in the heart of the Strip

Sun, 14 Mar 2004 12:56:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - My husband and I traveled to Las Vegas for the first time in November 2003. This was our 10th wedding anniversary trip, and having watched way too many travel channel specials, decided to stay at Caesar's Palace. I can't speak to the efficiency of...

Sun, 11 Jan 2004 00:14:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - I stayed at the Hampton Inn Winchester-University/Mall area in January 2004. At this time the hotel was in the middle of refurbishing it's rooms, which made for more noise than I'd usually tolerate, but they did warm me when I checked in, and I got one...

Now Showing....Sirens of TI

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - If you're looking for the pirate show at Treasure Island, you won't find it anymore. It's been replaced by the way-too-hip new "adult themed" show, Sirens of T.I. T.I. is now the oh-so-cool way we're supposed to refer to Treasure Island, which is...

Going to Ground

Sun, 8 Jun 2003 20:15:59 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - I had escaped my real life to take a trip to see some friends. It was to be a ya-ya sisterhood kind of get-together and so I left right after work to try to get some miles under me. Turns out that was totally the wrong choice. This is springtime in...

Summerfield Suites/Hanover: Traveling *without my kids

Sat, 7 Jun 2003 17:38:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - This was my first experience with Summerfield Suites, and I'll tell you upfront, I was so pleased that I've used others since. It's not often I go out of my way to find a specific hotel, I usually shop strictly by price.

On the price issue:...

Summerfield Suites Perimeter: Luxury at a value price

Sat, 7 Jun 2003 17:13:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - The first thing you need to know is that my husband and I have 3 children, and love to travel. The problem with 3 children is that it's too many for a standard room, and too few for two rooms. Enter the Summerfield Suites.

Wider variety beats the powders

Fri, 29 Jun 2001 20:52:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - Like everyone else who tries this product, I'm looking for a quick fix. News flash, nothing is a quick fix. Start by understanding that while you will lose weight reasonably quickly on this plan, it's the long slow work of changing your life that might...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - I am now officially a suburban housewife. I have upgraded from a much despised 1985 oldsmobile to a new to us 1994 Pontiac Trans Sport.

Quality: Major improvements at this Quality Inn.

Tue, 24 Apr 2001 11:01:55 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - 12 years ago (can that be possible?)I attended Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia. We occasionally used the Quality Inn then as an escape from campus. It was, at that time, tacky, tacky, tacky. I'm happy to report, things have changed.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - I purchased the Hoover Bagless Upright Vacuum, U5288-900 just a few short months ago, when we moved into a carpeted home. I was impressed with the cannister system, eliminating the necessity to purchase bags, and I thought the hepa filter was just the...

The gritty reality of weight loss

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 00:30:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - For many of us, myself included, dieting is made harder by its passive nature. It's all about what you don't eat. For people too impatient to do a long, slow relearning of eating habits, Slim-fast provides a way to diet that feels more proactive.

Hard to find, but decent

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 01:08:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - Hard to believe, contrary to instructions, that I really need to tell you why I tried this type of product.

Slim Fast has long been around touting the supposed health benefits of losing weight by going on a liquid diet. Any grown up knows...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - I've never dropped acid in my life, but since the advent of Rolie Polie Olie, I feel as if I had.

Rolie Polie Olie takes place on a "little round planet of really nice guys" whatever that means. The characters are some sort of...

I suppose if you've got a *quiet kid....

Sat, 11 Nov 2000 12:10:52 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sanctus - When we moved my first baby into his "big boy bed" at 16 months in preparation for his sister's arrival, I cried. I almost cried again, when, 2 years later, it was his sister's turn, but for a different reason. The bed was unsafe. Not a...
