Read some of the things our recent guests have had to say about their stay...
"Amazing Holiday"
"... Stayed for 5 nights recently at Les Borjs. Although the hotel is in the Kasbah, which is a busy and noisy area, once you are inside the hotel you are in a totally different world where it's peaceful and serene. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. As a seasoned traveller I find it to be one of the best hotels I have stayed at. From the time of arrival staff were welcoming, courteous and helpful and constantly going the extra mile to make our stay a pleasant one. They are a credit to management. Wide choice was available for breakfast. The new town was easily accessible about half an hour's walk away with lots of things to see and do. I would recommend Les Borjs to anybody. Room Tip: We paid a little extra for the larger room which was worth it ..."
"... The location was really central, but lovely and peaceful. The staff were so friendly. The rooms were clean and lovely. The pool was great and the food delicious. Made our stay perfect.There's a wonderful spa so I booked a brilliant massage. The staff helped me book trips to Essaouira and the Atlas mountains. Their driver was so helpful and charming. Room Tip: over looking the main courtyard or the pool area ..."
"Amazing Stay at Les Borjs de la Kasbah"
"... I booked a last minute 5 day trip for myself and my partner to Marrakesh. The Borjs had really good reviews and was reasonable priced. When we first arrived at the hotel I was a bit worried as there is literally a pile of rubble on the opposite side to the entrance to the hotel (looks like a building has been knocked down). From outside you wouldn't know that there was such a beautiful oasis inside where it is so peaceful and serene and such a contrast with the bustling streets of the medina. When we first arrived we were shown to the courtyard and given Mint Tea and Pastries. From start to finish the service we received whilst at the Riad was impeccable. All of the staff treat you like family and go out of their way to help you. There was not one member of staff I could fault. On one occasion we didn't have time to get breakfast as we were going on an excursion early in the morning. I was rushing to get ready so my partner quickly went to pick up some pastries for us to take with us. The waitress saw him and told us she would take anything we wanted to our room for us to eat there whilst getting ready. On another occasion I had a sore throat and was wrapped up in warm clothes. The waitress saw me and offered to turn the heaters on and made me a Honey and Lemon drink. The staff in the Spa are incredible! Definitely treat yourself to a Hammam and Massage - the treatments are so reasonable and lovely! The staff there made us feel so comfortable and like family, giving us hugs when we left. We could have stayed in the spa all day! The rooms are clean and traditionally decorated - so cute when you arrive to find rose petals arranged on the bed and in the bathroom. I am so happy we booked the Borjs and we are now planning another short trip back in a couple of months. I don't normally like to go to the same place twice but the Borjs is an exception! ..."
"Charming Hotel - great location in heart of traditional Marrakesh"
"... Beautiful small hotel, a peaceful haven with the busy sidestreets of Marrakesh just on the doorstep. Friendly and attentive service. Great restaurant - to be honest the tagines and traditional food here was as good as the better restaurants we visited. Highly recommended. Good breakfast - lots of freshly cooked pancakes and eggs, fruit etc. Good size rooms over looking the traditional courtyard. Theres a small pool and a spa. I booked a back massage - this was perfect. Easy to get to anywhere from here. This is in the heart of Marrakesh away from the shops like Zara and H& M which are opening up more and more in the busier more commercial shopping areas - where the more expensive swanky hotels are - here you have the markets and traditional smaller stalls, in among the locals and the true atmosphere of Marrakesh. But if you want the more commercial side - its only a 5 min taxi ride away. Loved it and will definitely return in the future. Thanks x ..."
Very quiet hotel and lovely personnel"
"... It was always a pleasure to come back to the hotel after a hectic stroll through the souks of Marrakesh. All personnel were very friendly and always ready to help you. They fluently speak French and English, have a good sense of humour and can give you good tips for restaurants and places to visit. And the different sort of pancakes during breakfast are really delicious. Top hotel! ..."
"Rose-colored Delight"
"... This hotel's rose-hued walls fit perfectly in the "red city." Add black wood doors, green-and-white tiles and the bloom of bougainvillea and the aesthetic is gently pleasant: no overkill. The on-site bar, restaurant, pool, and hammam make this hotel a perfect retreat after souk-ing it. ..."
"Luxurious with Exceptional Service"
"... What a fantastic riad, recommended to us but surpassing our expectations. The rooms were lovely, very clean and with comfortable beds. Ilham and Nora on reception couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. They arranged trips, taxis and restaurants for us and nothing was too much trouble. The location was great as it was about a 25 min walk from the souks and was away from the hustle and bustle of the square so was very peaceful to return to each evening. Loved the hamman in the hotel. I would recommend this riad to everyone, families, couples and groups of friends. ..."
"Incredible hospitality in a bit of paradise"
"... From the moment I walked in, I was in love. The public areas are truly serene with soft music, the smell of orange blossom, fountains, and cascading bougainvillea falling over the walls of the several courtyards around which the rooms orient. The restaurant is under a retractable roof through which you can view the stars, the tile work throughout is exquisite, the pool is warm and impeccably maintained, and the reading and relaxation rooms around the main courtyard are divine. Really, everything about the property is amazing. My room was incredible: huge tub, mammoth vanity, walk-in shower, very comfortable bed, huge closet, perfect air conditioning, mini fridge, seating area. The floors are warmed so while the a/c keeps you cool, you can still walk around the room in comfort. Giant breakfast was more than expected. The hammam is luxe and quite beautiful. I favor a more vigorous massage like sports massage or deep tissue and wish there was more of that on offer in the spa, but that's my only minor complaint. The staff was humorous, but respectful, and everything you could ever want is made available if you ask. The staff works under the direction of Tom who is old world in his manners, incredibly hospitable and attentive. I really couldn't be happier with my stay. Marrakech is deeply stimulating and, at times, hectic, so it felt even better to enjoy the luxury this riad offers. I really couldn't recommend this property more. Great for solo travel, friends, couples (super romantic), and adventure travel if you want to really unwind. Loved the guests, the location was great, the driver from the airport stayed late to meet me after my flight was delayed until a 4am arrival. Really, everything was amazing. Stay here. ..."
"Beautiful caring staff"
"... This is our last night here and I am sitting in the candlelit courtyard, an oasis of calm and relaxation. When we arrived we were greeted with tea and biscuits and then shown to our beautiful suite 303.This Riad is amazing, having been restored to a very high standard. We ate here on the first night and the food was very good and reasonably priced. I did the cookery course which was great fun but it also gave me the opportunity to see the kitchen. It was like the rest of the riad -immaculate. I also had a hammam and massage, both very good and a fraction of the cost in the UK.The best aspect of the Riad, however, are the very helpful staff. They were all so lovely and very obliging. One even went to the supermarket for me so I could take some ingredients home. I am not a fan of Marrakesh, and am unlikely to return, but I will be recommending this Riad to friends and family. ..."
An oasis of tranquility
"... This hotel was the 2nd location on our visit. After 3 days in the High Atlas Mountains we returned to Marrakech for our stay in this Riad. On entering the Medina, and travelling down a dusty road, it was difficult to imagine what the hotel would be like. On entering the minimal entrance from the street, passing through reception into the first courtyard, we were met by an oasis of tranquility from the hustle and bustle outside. It was immediately apparent that this was a hotel of high quality, with a lot of thought put into it's traditional style of design. The standard of our room and furnishings was first class. The communal areas were tastefully furnished and the dining area good. A special mention to all staff we encountered. All very friendly, courteous and helpful, and with a very good sense of humour too. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone looking for an authentic feel away from modern, large hotels. ..."
"Mature hens (or chickens if you are from Denmark)"
"... I have just spent the most amazing 4 days with 23 ladies for a joint birthday. We had the place to ourselves (we had booked all rooms!). The staff were awesome. Hammam was amazing. Thoroughly recommended. ..."
"An enchanting and unforgettable experience"
"... We did not expect the excellence that we found in this delightful Riad. It is truly a wonderful experience to stay at Les Borjs. It is comfortable and clean and the staff helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The building has been restored to perfection, mainly by hand, with love and vision. We loved it. Thank you Tom and the team. We wish you all the best for the future. ..."
Simply the perfect place to stay in Marrakech
"... Good location in the Kasbah. Peaceful and elegant Moroccan ambiance. Excellent food. But our stay will be remembered mostly for the staff who looked after us with such genuine warmth, openness and professionalism. Very well done. ..."
Probably my most relaxing stay anywhere in 40 yrs
"... From the moment I arrived until I left for the airport, I was looked after superbly. A quiet relaxing location that is only a short walk through the Kasbah to the Medina. All of the staff were friendly and very helpful. I can't wait to go back again. ..."
"... The hotel is a peaceful refuge from the noise and bustle of the city outside its doors. My room and bathroom were spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The hotel staff were absolutely charming and eager to help. The breakfast offered a very wide choice, including a variety of fruit and omelettes cooked to order. The two dinners I eat there were of high standard.The location is in a narrow street just inside the Kasbah - difficult to find without a local taxi but within easy walking distance of all the main attractions of Marrakech. The Anglo-French manager is very keen to receive customer feedback and asks you directly for your views - this was the first time I've experienced this anywhere in North Africa!! ..."
Amazing service, great location
"... I cannot say too many positive things about Les Borjs de la Kasbah! The service is amazing - the staff is so friendly and willing to do anything to make guests happy. As a sample, I had a rather interesting weekend due to work issues and dropping my iphone in the pool! I was at the hotel computer working for long periods and they happily served my dinner in that room. When I dropped my iphone in the pool, they offered me a bag of dry rice in a bowl in an effort to dry it out! I asked about Henna and they had a woman come to the hotel (for a better price than the centre) who would happily paint my hands while I lounged at the pool. Otherwise just very helpful in terms of getting around the city, the must-see sights, etc. Location is great too as it's a bit outside the madness of the centre but within easy walking distance. Spa treatments were also lovely - I had my first Hammam , followed by a massage. Great prices as well. The breakfast (which was included with my stay) was better than continental as there is a little lady who will make you eggs any way - fried, scrambled or omelette - so I was able to have a filling / hearty breakfast. The only teeny negative thing I'd mention is that the wifi is not great. BUT that is only because I had to work, unfortunately, over my holiday weekend. Otherwise, it's fine for normal browsing, checking e-mail etc. Would recommend this hotel to anyone! ..."
"Peace and Tranquillity"
"... Arriving here through the hustle and bustle of the casbah is an amazing experience, the contrast is unbelievable. Norah on reception greeted us with a smile and proved to be helpful and informative throughout our 6 day stay. Our room was spacious and spotless, indeed the whole place is very very clean. The reception rooms are comfortable and full of local character and the atmosphere peaceful and quite. Naoual in the dining area is a real character with a real sense of humour ably assisted by Mohamed. We also enjoyed the hammam. we had a body scrub and massage, very relaxing. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again ..."
"Beautiful and relaxing"
"... From the moment we arrived we were made very welcome with mint tea, gorgeous pastries and a warm welcome. The room was large, well designed with it's own terrace overlooking the restaurant. One night we had dinner and enjoyed music and dancing at a Moroccan night. The food was delicious and the wine list has a good number of Moroccan reds. We enjoyed the hammam two days in row it was so good, the massages were sublime. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly, the place was immaculate. The neighbourhood was interesting close to the tombs and palaces and a 15 minute walk to the square. Stayed November 2013, traveled as a cou ..."
"Great welcome, authentic and very comfortable"
"... There are already lots of great reviews of this hotel and we can endorse them all. But even before we arrived we were very taken with the website which reads like a guide book of Marrakech, constantly updated by the owners who have devoted their careers to specialist tour operation. They realise the importance of a great welcome and some of the staff who deliver it have been part of the 'family' since the outset. The hotel itself is created from 7 riads, re-constructed by local craftsmen with the added luxury of a pool (rare in this part of the medina). From the central courtyard, bordered by the public areas of bar, restaurant, lounge etc, there are passages to the bedrooms around a further 4 courtyards. It feels very exclusive and calm. The decor has been sourced locally, personally by the owner, and is extremely tasteful; every room is different and it's all spotless. It's really lovely to return to a room that's been freshened up with rose petals, always in a different design, at the end of a hot day exploring. The whole place oozes 'care'. The food has been praised by others already so I can only echo what's been said. You must try the hammam and massage too but don't expect to do anything much with your day afterwards! Outside the riad, one is transported back in time - the medina is noisy, colourful, vibrant. The kasbah area is the posh end and the historical palaces are nearby. The central square, Jemaa el Fna, is about 10 minutes' scary walk away, but only scary the first time as you soon realise that the other road users are actually very skilful. We were there around the time of Eid - an important family festival which requires the slaughter of a ram in each home, so for the first few days every second truck and moped (!) was carrying some poor unsuspecting creature. Very biblical. Our thanks go to Tom, Fatima, Nora, Ilham, Mounia, Nawal, Miriam and the others. We have a very happy memory of our stay with you. Room Tip: Room 303 is the 'honeymoon' suite, overlooking the pool on one side. Beautiful. ..."
"Delightful Small Hotel"
"... The hotel is in a fantastic location. You just walk outside and you are in the centre of the Medina. No need to get a taxi. The hotel staff are incredibly warm and friendly, in fact it is the genuine hospitality of the staff which make this hotel so special. This was my fifth visit to Marrakech and I would definitely book this hotel again. The rooms were very spacious as were the bathrooms. We were given rooms for my daughters right next door to each other which was very convenient. One negative was that the bed was very hard for us, but I think this is just a matter of personal preference. It was also great to have a decent sized pool in such a central location. I think it was good value for money and the breakfasts were also very good. A definite thumbs up. ..."
"Romantic and peaceful holiday"
"... I can't rate this hotel too highly. From the moment we set foot in there, we were treated with such warmth and hospitality. The staff are wonderful, especially Fatimah. It is in a brilliant location because it is away from the direct hustle and bustle of the Jemaa square, yet only a 10 minute walk away from it all! Staying in the old city is also a really unique experience that I would recommend. We stayed in room 202 which is a suite. It was gorgeous. Not good for people who don't like steps as there are 3 steps leading up to the bed. Everyday there were fresh rose petals sprinkled on our bed and around the room. Totally gorgeous. A slight smell of drains came from the bathroom in the late afternoon but this was completely understandable - it was 46 degrees when we went! This is also one of the only hotels/riads that has an outdoor pool (as opposed to a plunge pool that is shaded). The pool has a handy sitting area around the shallow end so you can sit happily in the water to your hearts content. Only thing I would say is that it took quite a long time to get our food when sitting around the pool. For example between 30 - 60 minutes. Actually, if you take this into consideration and order in good time, it is no problem at all. Just bare this in mind. We attended the Moroccan evening which was fun - great food, music and a belly dancer. There is also a spa on site that does not charge through the roof. I went twice because of this. We happened to pop to Essaouira for a few nights and when we returned we had a day to spend back in Marrakech. The manager went over and above to help us out. Even though we had not paid to go back, they offered us a room for the day at no extra cost and let us use the facilities as if we were guests again. Honestly it was fabulous and I would highly recommend it. Room Tip: We loved our suite, room 202 ..."
"Very Welcoming Oasis in Marrakech"
"... Quite possibly the best hotel I have ever stayed in. All the wonderful qualities of this hotel have already been posted so there is little to add. The walk to and from the sights of Marrakech can seem very long in 46 degree heat but you are soon revived by a dip in the pool and a cup of mint tea. The hotel is also well set for making a winter stay memorable. If you are looking for a hotel in Marrakech, look no further. Room Tip: Junior Suite gives you seating for a family or group ..."
"Lovely Riad/Hotel Great Value"
"... An oasis of away from the craziness of Marrakech. Beautiful courtyard with fountain, great pool - larger than most Riads IT facilities and lovely comfortable relaxing sofa areas Room was delightful and large and retaining all the traditional features that you would expect from a classic Moroccan Riad, while containing all modern comforts including great bathrooms, wonderful beds and air conditioning. Situated centrally in the Kasbah, close to the Royal Palace and within easy walking distance of all the main sites, its in a lovely neighbourhood but within walking distance of Place Jemma. The breakfasts were lovely and the staff delightful so eager to please. The one dinner i had from restaurant was one of the best meals I had in Marrakech. Will definitely go back! Room Tip: We stayed in room 303 and it was just lovely with lots of windows and very very quiet. ..."
"The very best hotel in Marrakech"
"... The very best customer service is always so unobtrusive that it is almost imperceptible. So it is with this most wonderful of Riads. The hotel itself is wonderful and relaxing with great rooms, both public and private, really wonderful food and a stunning Haman, but it's the quality and care of the staff that marks this out as a world class hotel. Everybody works together to deliver really exceptional customer service and everyone always has a smile on their face. After the bustle and noise of Marrakech this truly is an oasis of calm. I have stayed in many of the Worlds very best hotels but none of them have better service than this one. If you're going to Marrakech don't book anywhere - stay here! ..."
A Peaceful Retreat
"... Les Borjs de la Kasbah is a great place to return to after a busy day sightseeing in the craziness that is Marrakech! Our room was clean and of an adequate size. There was a table and chairs just outside the door for relaxation. The riad and rooms have some lovely architectural details that remind you that you are in Morocco (unlike some nondescript hotel rooms). Like most riads in Morocco, it has lovely courtyards. The pool was a great way to escape the hot Moroccan sun and seemed clean. The breakfasts were satisfying and we also had dinner one night at the hotel which was quite good. Moreover, the staff were all friendly and professional. ..."
A perfect base for exploring Marrakech
"... This small, personal hotel offers every possibility for a perfect experience in Marrakech: cooking classes, spa treatments, restaurant and extremely helpful and friendly staff. The Riad is truly an oasis in the medina. With welcoming areas to sit, read and relax, the hotel is a great contrast to the rest of Marrakech. I have no hesitation in recommending Le Borjs de la Kasbah. ..."
"An oasis of calm in a crazy city!"
"... Les Borjs de la Kasbah is a gorgeous little hotel right in the middle of the Kasbah area of Marrakesh. The streets surrounding it were a frenetic mix of horses and carts, taxis, trucks, mopeds and pedestrians but in the courtyard of the hotel you could hear a pin drop. The staff couldn't do enough to please us, from the rose petals on the bed each day, to the pastries and tea when we checked in, to the attentive staff at meal times. We took a trip to the Atlas Mountains and had a lovely car (with seatbelts, unlike the local cabs!) and a great driver. We ate both lunch and dinner there on several occasions and the food was first class. The hotel is near to the Jemaa el Fna square and several royal palaces, so there was plenty to see in walking distance. I would recommend it to anyone travelling to Marrakesh ..."
"... The Riad surpassed all expecations. We arrived to a leisurely check-in with mint tea and biscuits before being shown to our amazing room. Staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and efficient and spoke good English. Riad was spotlessly clean, extremely well maintained and tastefully decorated providing a haven of tranquility and luxury from the bustle of the souks. We had one lunch and one dinner in the Riad, together with breakfast each day - the food was well prepared, nicely presented and good value for money. The on-site spa is also worth a visit. Highly recommended. ..."
"Les Borjs de la Kasbah - oasis of charm in Marrakesh"
"... We spent 3 nights in this charming small hotel and were very happy there. Set back from the street, with the pretty garden inside, the whole place feels like an oasis. Beautiful orange trees, flowers and small fountain in the middle put you in a different place from the Marrakesh streets outside. After a hard and hot day in Medina you can dip yourself in the swimming pool or relax in hammam with massage and spa. Everything is made here with love -- from style rooms and comfortable bathrooms till soft sofas in the garden where we sat looking through our photos of the day. The food in the retaurant is exellent ; breackfast and a la carte .You can try not only delicious Moroccan food - lamb tajine is very good - but European as well. Every time, returning to hotel from our excursions, we felt as if we were coming home so pleasant was our staying here. I can highly recommend this peaceful hotel de charme for those who understand how important is the right choice of the oasis in Africa. Room Tip: there are 18 rooms only, we stayed in room 304 on first floor -- very nice. ..."
"What a fantastic find."
"... The Staff at Les Borjs de la Kasbah were very very helpful from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed. This hotel is a 15 minute walk from the centre square and conveniently tucked away in a safe and friendly neighbourhood. We loved the walk to and fro even late a night in the semi dark streets. Although our suite turned out to be above the restaurant we were totally unaware of any noise. In fact the entire hotel is amazingly quiet. Breakfast was swift and extensive with a lady cooking 3 types of pancake to order which we found it impossible to resist. Again the service was fantastic. I think this is due to the fact that the hotel has only 18 rooms meaning a max of 36 guests. With that sort of staff:guest ratio we ended up being well looked after. Would I go back? Yes. Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes. ..."
"... The Riad surpassed all expectations. We arrived to a leisurely check-in with mint tea and biscuits before being shown to our amazing room. Staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and efficient and spoke good English. Riad was spotlessly clean, extremely well maintained and tasetfuly decorated providing a haven of tranquility and luxury from the bustle of the souks. We had one lunch and one dinner in the Riad, together with breakfast each day - the food was well prepared, nicely presented and good value for money. The on-site spa is also worth a visit. Highly recommended. ..."
"Another perfect performance.........."
"... I returned to Les Borjs de la Kasbah six months after my first visit. Last time it was my honeymoon, this time it was for a quiet "girlie break" with one of my best friends. The visit simply confirmed my view that this place is "Heaven on Earth". It is perfect for a quiet romantic holiday or a peaceful get away - with the option of venturing out into the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. The building and its courtyards are beautiful and healing to sit in. The spa is fabulous and I have to say that the prices are very reasonable - try the hammam or the tonic massage (great stretching out of the body - they even massage your eye lids!). Ultimate pampering luxury. But the best part of the hotel is the staff, who are all so friendly. They are the heart of the place and make it feel like a home from home. Most are skilled linguists and put many of us to shame in this respect (me!) They go above and beyond the call of duty and are to be congratulated on their professionalism. This time, I ate more in the hotel restaurant and have to say that I was extremely impressed - absolutely delicious Morrocan food by night (fabulous chicken with dates and figs or something stuffing it), a gorgeous chicken pastilla and duck to DIE for), but also wonderful day time snacks - if you want a simple club sandwich and chips followed by the best chocolate mousse ever for lunch then this is provided too! A word about the area the hotel is in - it is in the heart of the Kasbah area which feels more like an area where local people live than a tourist area (good!), although there are shops and restaurants that will appeal to travellers. Step outside the hotel and you are in a very interesting world, but a non-threatening one, and one in which I never feel harrased when I have visited - even when there was just me and my friend as two women together (take "respectful clothing" though, to be polite ). Oh yes, in response to the previous review mentioning the swimming pool - it was toasty warm when we were there, to the extent that steam was rising off the water in the cool air of the early morning! In conclusion, if you are thinking of booking here, I would HIGHLY recommend it - you are in for a treat! My husband and I are already booked to go back in the autumn and this may well become a regular thing for us, money and time off work permitting. Enjoy! ..."
"An oasis of calm in a crazy city!"
"... Les Borjs de la Kasbah is a gorgeous little hotel right in the middle of the Kasbah area of Morocco. The streets surrounding it were a frenetic mix of horses and carts, taxis, trucks, mopeds and pedestrians but in the courtyard of the hotel you could hear a pin drop. The staff couldn't do enough to please us, from the rose petals on the bed each day to the pastries and tea when we checked in to the attentive staff at meal times. We took a trip to the Atlas Mountains and had a lovely car (with seatbelts unlike the local cabs!) and a great driver. We ate both lunch and dinner there on several occasions and the food was first class. The hotel is near to the Jemaa el Fna square and several royal palaces, so there was plenty to see in walking distance. I would recommend it to anyone travelling to Marrakesh ..."
"Delightful riad - chic & charming with attentive & friendly staff"
"... Stayed here twice on our visit to Morocco & Marrakech . This riad is a wonderful peaceful haven away from the chaos & intensity of Marrakech. It is spotlessly clean, with good sized rooms ( we stayed in 3 of them) good standard of furnishings & comfortable beds. Robes , toiletries, hair dryer (a powerful one), fluffy towels all provided, with good quality sanitary ware in the bathrooms. Internet terminal & computer available & free to use plus library room all opening out onto the central courtyard. Pool area/ loungers (towels provided) plus spa all spotlessly clean & welcoming. The food here was first class- excellent choice of food at breakfast , plentiful & served in the restaurant which has a retractable roof so you eat under the sun or stars. Omelettes & other egg options are freshly made & yogurts are home made. Only comment is I prefer the Moroccan pancakes freshly made rather than made & then reheated & this I fed back . We ate dinner here on one night - delightful ambience, excellent food reasonably priced with efficient, attentive yet discreet service by the friendly staff. We celebrated our wedding anniversary & they made it so special. The staff went out of their way to ensure our stay here was a good experience. Throughout our stay the staff were attentive and efficient at all times The location of the Riad in the southern medina suited us - a short walk of no more than 10 minutes to the Royal Palace, the 'Centre Artisanal' (to check out the fixed prices here before heading into the souks, ensuring you don' t pay over the odds for your souvenirs when haggling) & Saadian Tombs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Les Borjs as an excellent place to stay in Marrakech. It is a delight. ..."
A peaceful haven
"... A lovely hotel within walking distance of the main square (about 20mins). We had a junior suite which was very comfortable and clean. The food was excellent with a good choice of dishes for each meal. Fatima was very attentive at breakfast. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful, particularly Tariq and Nora at Reception. When we asked where we could buy toothpaste which we had forgotten, the owner went out to the corner shop and bought us some for which he wouldn't accept payment. The pool area was a welcome retreat after spending several hours either in the souks or on a walking tour. We have no hesitation in recommending this hotel which we plan to use on our next trip to Marrakech. ..."
An Oasis of Peace and Quiet
"... This hotel ranks as one of the nicest I have ever stayed in. It was an oasis of peace and quiet [ there were no children there during our stay ]. It is very much a couples hotel in my opinion. Great rooms and decor throughout, absolutely wonderful. All members of staff and management were totally professional and most helpful. Highly recommended. ..."
"Tranquility base"
"... To arrive at Les Borjs was a delight after the drive in from Essaouira. It is airy but cool and water trickles in many quiet places where lush plants abound. We were welcomed by the hotel manager with mint tea and biscuits and given a quick sketch of the services and general layout of this jewel of a Riad. The room air con was perfect and controlled via a remote; our room a haven with a minibar and safe and plenty of hanging storage. Did I say the bathroom was a dream? Hand tiled and with both bath and two showers, it was complete with double sinks, lots of lovely toiletries and big, white bathrobes. We had two 'neighbours' on our landing and never heard a squeek. Next morning visited the dining room for a slightly chaotic breakfast service complete with Moroccan delicacies; we could order pretty much whatever we wished. Do try their 'smoothies' - a combination of fruit and vegetables. BTW, the staff were full of fun and returned smile for smile and were typically fluent in a couple of languages. All in all, Les Borjs is a peaceful oasis of beautifully thought-out rooms and common areas. We felt pampered and well catered for but service was never intrusive. Salads and light lunches at the pool bar were absolutely perfect. Books-around-the-pool time in the afternoon was simply heaven after a hot trek thru the big, wide world outside. ..."
"Fantastic! Can't wait to go back!"
"... We have just returned from Morocco having spent part of our stay at this riad. The room was beautiful with wonderful air conditioning and comfortable beds. The staff were friendly and helpful and we had a fantastic tour organised by the riad. We took part in a cookery course which we enjoyed very much even though it was very hot! Our teenage sons enjoyed their stay there as much as us old timers! ..."
"Tranquility in Marrakech"
"... This Riad, set in the Kasbah district of Marrakech, is an exceptional, small and friendly hotel where the staff go out of their way to ensure their guests have the best stay possible. It is located within easy walking distance of many attractions - Djemaa el Fina, the main square, is about a 15 minute stroll away. There is a Pharmacy( English speaking ) and a couple of corner shops very close by. Les Borjs is typical of Moroccan riad-style hotels with its wonderful courtyards providing calm and cool in the heat of the day.The pool is set in its own terrace and is more than adequate. Our room was large, comfortable and well furnished; the en-suite was spacious and the shower excellent. Wi-fi is available free in public areas, and some of the bedrooms, and there is also a computer which is complimentary for guests' use. Breakfast is served in a covered courtyard which gives the feeling of al-fresco eating. There is plenty of choice but do not expect a full English; try the selection of pancakes and pastries instead. Dinner can be taken in the courtyard or inside; we found the choice and quality of the French/ Moroccan food very good.The staff are the hotel's greatest asset, all very welcoming and courteous. English and French are spoken and staff were always on hand to give advice on transport, sightseeing and haggling in the souks.We stayed for 3 nights mid April. We would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and hope to return ourselves one day soon. ..."
Relaxing Riad Hotel and Spa
"... A beautifully designed Riad with the added bonus of a large swimming pool. Although not in the centre of Marrakech, the hotel is within walking distance of a local souk and large government run store selling everything you can imagine at excellent prices. The Riad had a varied evening menu which was good value and the staff were most helpful. The spa was an added touch of luxury with a fabulous private hamman and heavenly massages. Would highly recommend to couples/friends who want their trip to include relaxation and a vibrant city all in one. ..."
"As good as all the other reviews claimed"
"... The enthusiasm with which other travellers had written about this riad raised our expectations - and we were not disappointed. The staff were courteous and pleasant, the ambience extremely tasteful and the food well cooked and presented with a wide enough choice for us to eat dinner in the restaurant on four out of the seven nights we stayed without getting bored. We upgraded to a suite (booked through a British Airways package holiday) which was superb and made the holiday for us - not so expensive to do it, £160 extra for the week. As others have written, it is extraordinary how you step through a door from the hurly burly of the city into an oasis of calm within the courtyard of the riad. This riad was created in 2007 but based on traditional designs and they have done a cracking job. The pool area looked rather cramped in the photos but we found it was fine in reality. A couple of fairly minor points - service could be very slow at lunchtime (dinner was good) so allow plenty of time and the air freshener in the bathroom was a very strong and persistent scent of naphtha (mothballs) - not to everyone's taste, maybe it's a Moroccan thing? Overall, though, Les Borjs de la Kasbah is highly recommended. ..."
"Customer Service Commitment"
"... Sometimes it's worth doing the extra bit of homework. Les Borjs de la Kasbah is definitely worthy of consideration by anyone planning a trip to the heart of Marrakech. Although this Riad is situated near the Old Royal Palace and in a quieter part of town (no bad thing), it's an easy and enjoyable walk to the key sites. I first stayed the Borjs de la Kasbah a little while after it first opened and recall there being some inevitable but minor teething problems. I am pleased to report that after five years, the establishment runs like a well oiled machine: modestly luxurious, unpretentious and efficient. Not the very cheapest riad in town, perhaps, but you always get what you pay for and it's always worth going for one that's well established and well run. I stayed overnight en route from Essaouira and so was only able to have breakfast. In short, I concur with many of the other reports, excellent quality and great attention to detail. I shall continue to recommend Les Borjs de la Kasbah to colleagues, friends and family. Excellent! ..."
"Sublime tranquility a few feet from the hustle and bustle of the city"
"... We had a wonderful stay at this hotel - the hotel itself is absolute perfection and the attention to detail and thoughfulness of the staff made our stay extra special. Staying at the hotel was a real treat and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone wanting a bolt-hole from the madness of Marrakech outside the hotel walls. Simply wonderful! ..."
Fabulous little riad
"... This is a very cool little hotel, with incredibly friendly and helpful staff, a great restaurant and fantastic pool/spa. It's deep in the heart of an old part of town so you feel like you're getting an authentic experience, but at the same time it's a completely tranquil refuge from the city, incredibly quiet and calm. And they put rose petals everywhere... ..."
"Lovely luxury in a quieter part of town"
"... We only stayed here for 2 nights so didn't eat in the restaurant. Staying with another couple we both had lovely rooms which were large and very clean with a wonderfully powerful shower and some lovely toiletries and little touches. It is ideally located away from the main square but within walking distance so you can soak up the atmosphere on the way. I would definitely recommend a stay in Marrakech but it can be a bit 'full on' and mad so it was nice to stay a little outside the mayhem. Breakfast was good, with a good selection of breads, toasts etc. Would recommend a stay here. ..."
"Sheer delight!"
"... When I arrived here I had been ill for a few days, so was delighted to be welcomed with kindness & thoughtfulness by the staff. My room was one of the smallest, yet it was warm, inviting, comfortable and I loved its cosiness and charm. A great shower, lovely toiletries provided, a soft robe and rose petals on the bed, all helped to make this hotel that bit above average. In fact, I loved it! Breakfasts were good, with plenty of choice - suggest you don't leave it to the last minute though. The bread, cakes and yoghurts are homemade and delicious. The cook will prepare you an omelette or boiled egg if you wish. I took the Cookery course which was a lot of fun and interesting too. However, the actual food I had cooked was not all that interesting in taste when I came to eat it later that day. I notice that others comment on the food being bland - I ate dinner her on two other occasions, and then the food was excellent and perfectly seasoned for the dish! Situated at the far end of the Kasbah, I enjoyed walking through this very friendly area, and could sense the community spirit here. I didn't take the obvious main road route to the main square as my knowledge of the Medina told me it was quicker, easier and more fun to go that way. Would I return? Without a doubt! This hotel is a gem, with excellent staff, superb cleanliness, very pleasant rooms, an excellent menu, and great location. ..."
Amazing contrast!
"... Situated well inside the Kasbah, it's amazing how the tranquility, cleanliness and friendliness of "Les Borjs" contrasts so completely with the local neighbourhood. We really enjoyed a week of good weather, great food (Le Jasmine Restaurant) and friendly service of all of the staff. 15-20 minutes walk from the town square, a really memorable week! ..."
A beautiful place to stay
"... The outstanding feature of the hotel was the quality and friendliness of the service. Nothing was too much trouble and extra touches included providing a bucket of ice for our own wine we had bought and agreeing to provide evening meal service later than usual. All the staff were warm and helpful and this created an important atmosphere of welcome and relaxation. The rooms were beautiful although a slight disappointment was one having only a shower and no bath but the outlook from the bay window was very appealing. Air conditioning was an important reliable feature of the rooms given the 40 degree heat!!. Touches like arrranging flower petals on the bed and artfully folding nightware were also very good. Breakfast was vegetarian and very good quality although some things run out (pastries) if you eat later, as we did on one morning. My family very much enjoyed the 'spa and pool' day too which was relaxing in such a peaceful environment. We would thoroughly recommend the hotel for all the above positive reasons and also as it is so central to Marrakesh yet is so peaceful and beautiful. It is only a 15 minute walk to the square not 25 as reported elswehere. We would have stayed longer had we been able to! ..."
"... We've just returned from four nights at BK and it is probably the best hotel I've ever stayed in. From the smooth airport pick up, to the welcoming reception, the clean, spacious room (we had a standard room), the beautiful building and grounds, and the outstanding service from all staff - I'm not sure there is anything I could fault here. Breakfast was varied and tasty - thoroughly recommend the homemade yogurt and orange juice! Snacks available from the poolside bar were appetizing and portion size was generous. Dinner was superb - in fact, probably the best meals we had in Marrakesh were at the hotel! Tagine, harira, cous cous - all recommended. The spa was lovely. Small but perfectly serviceable. My partner and I both had a hammam, as well as a whole body massage and a foot massage, respectively. Swimming pool area was always clean (in fact, whole hotel was always clean!) and such a treat after the heat of the day! It's a 15/20 minute walk to the main square, but an ideal way to see everyday life in Marrakesh. 15 minutes to Badi Palace and only 10 minutes to the Saadian Tombs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel to anyone and everyone! ..."
"A wonderful oasis. We'll definitely be going back"
"... This hotel was small but delightful. All the staff took time to attend to your needs without going overboard and could not have been more friendly and attentive. For a small hotel the facilities were excellent, including use of a computer to check your emails which was free. A lovely pool was reasonably sized with loungers and small patio bar. The rooms were beautiful and exceptionally clean, lovely thick towels and bathrobes. The restaurant was in a lovely courtyard and served continental breakfast which was quite extensive. The menu for the evening was exceptional with classic Moroccan dishes and lovely French cuisine. An organised Moroccan themed evening was great value, again great food and good entertainment. The Spa and Hamman was a truly great experience; I went with my 3 sisters and we did not want to leave. The hotel was about a 15 minute walk from the main square which was great as you were away from the hectic goings on but close enough if you wanted to visit. The hotel can organise some good excursions and the staff were helpful in suggesting which ones to take given the length of our stay. If you are looking to buy Argan Oil you would be better buying in the hotel as it is 100% authentic and cheaper than buying second rate oil in the souks or pharmacy. The thing to watch is the guides on town visits as they tend to stop at various shops etc which are not always the ones you want to go to - be forceful and only go where you want to go. Overall?Fantastic! ..."
A Letter to BK's Owners
"... My husband and I have just returned from a week's stay at your hotel. It is very rare for us to be moved to write a review for any place we visit, but this time we really wish to as a testimonial to you and to your staff. I am sure that the purchase, creation, building, opening and running of the hotel was, and still is, a labour of love. It was clear, from the minute we stepped into the building, that your vision and passion are everywhere. I was already eagerly anticipating our stay after looking at your website in some detail but once we arrived the promise glimpsed from the web (and from the glowing reviews on Tripadvisor) was more than justified. We were assigned room 107 (a Suite) which is perfectly proportioned and over our week's stay it was a pleasure to wake up to such a large, airy room. The fact that we had two comfortable chairs and a coffee table just outside where we could smoke and read in privacy just made it better. As for the hotel itself, it was perfection. Everywhere we looked the care and handywork of your builders and craftsmen is plain to see. The decorations are pitched perfectly and the "summer living room" on the patio became our favourite haunt after dinner and even for short naps during the day. But, as you well know, since you are tourism professionals, the beauty of surroundings, quality of building work and outward care of a building is not everything; the staff of any establishment is as much a part of the success or failure of any venture as the physical side of things. And in this, your team at Les Borjs is by far (and, I assure you, we travel a lot) the nicest, most competent and welcoming we have ever met. Every one, from our chambermaid with her thoughtful daily arrangement of roses, to the Maitre D', the lovely girls in the restaurant and the pool area, the Hamman ladies, your administrator (who replied promptly to all my emails before the visit full of suggestions), the cookery class (yes, we really enjoyed that too!), everything was done effortlessly and in the most comfortable way for us. I am sorry that I don't remember their names, but I'm sure you know them all. All our friends in London and Madrid now have your hotel on their lists of places to stay, a cocoon away from the bustle and fun of Marrakesh and the most delightful and restful week ever. I don't know when we will be able to return to Marrakesh, but Les Borjs will be our only option. Best regards Beatriz (Manjon) Shapiro ..."

Staying at the hotel was a real treat and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone wanting a bolt-hole from the madness of Marrakech outside the hotel walls. Simply wonderful! ..."
"An oasis of peace"
"... This is a beautiful hotel, created from a riad and several old houses which blend to make a luxury hotel with the rooms looking onto courtyards full of flowers, orange trees and fountains. All the rooms are different - our party of 8 ladies took the 4 twin bedded rooms, two being Standard rooms and two Suites. There really wasn't much difference in them - the Suites being a little bigger - but they were all furnished well, with easy chairs, comfortable beds, large wardrobes, with rugs, cushions and walls in soft earth colours.The bathrooms were very large, and had full length aths with shower, separate shower cubicle, and some had double washbasins too. They were all spotlessly clean. The hotel staff was one of the best things about the hotel. All spoke perfect English and nothing was too much trouble for them. They were obviously proud of their hotel, and genuinely seemed to enjoy their work, always smiling, and very helpful. The hotel is within the walled Kasbah, but a 20 min walk from the main square. We never felt threatened when walking and taxis were easy to find if you didn't fancy the trek. We also walked to the Saadian tombs, Badia and Bahia palaces, and the souk. The city is exciting , colourful and frenetic- it was a delight to return to the peace quiet and comfort of the Borjs. It also has a swimming pool, great to cool down in. The breakfasts were excellent- great choice of fruits, cheese breads, and freshly squeezed orange juice which was wonderful and eggs cooked to order. We ate in twice in the evening, as there are no restaurants close- the only negative feature of the hotel.The food was good, not exceptional, but about the same price as the central restaurants If I return to Marrakech I will definitely return to the Borjs- it is lovely! ..."
"Best hotel we have ever stayed in"
"... From the warm welcome with mint tea & pastries to the lovely room, fabulous food, great pool & spa, traditional decor with modern comfort & really lovely staff - everything was perfect. About 15 minute stroll to main square but worth it for the peace & quiet of the hotel. BK is like an oasis in the madness of Marrakech. The only sounds are the tinkling of the fountain in the main courtyard & birdsong. Absolutely loved it. Ate in the restaurant nearly every night as food was so good & reasonably priced. ..."
An Oasis in the Medina"
"... After 13 hours of travel, arriving at Les Borjs de la Kasbah was like arriving at an oasis in the midst of the busy medina. We were greeted by the hotel director and promptly taken to the lovely courtyard for some mint tea and pastries. The hotel was beautiful and the room was clean and spacious, just like the website photos. We stayed 2 nights and had three meals in the hotel and the food and service was impeccable. Our 8 year old son was especially impressed by the 5 different types of Moroccan pancakes freshly cooked at the breakfast buffet. Every request we made of the staff was met with a "no problem sir" response and we ended up booking a full day walking tour of the Medina (highly recommended) through the hotel. ..."
"An oasis of old world charm"
"... The Borjs experience was outstanding, thanks to the staff, food and the hotel itself. It saved my solo holiday and overturned the disappointing tourist sites and some experiences of Marrakesh, into a success. Well worth spending your holiday at the hotel and just taking the tours from the hotel to make a great holiday. Calm and restful in a city of trepidation. I'm sure Miss Marple was hiding away somewhere, due to the old world charm in a modern recreation. I would not hesitate to revisit. The desk staff were the best I have ever encountered and a special mention to Fatima and her colleagues in the bar and at breakfast who were utterly wonderful. ..."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Laura from These are comfortable versatile shoes. I love that the shoe contains it's own built-in sock that hugs your foot and that you can adjust the laces to get a very comfortable precise fit. I would prefer more cushioning and arch support, so I won't be wearing them for a lot of walking, but for knocking around, they're great.

Rated 1 out of 5 by BMcS from Probably the most uncomfortable shoe I've ever tri I bought these for a trip to Europe that will involve a lot of walking, so I had really high hopes for these to be comfortable for that purpose. When they arrived, I put them on, and they were so tight across the part of my foot where your toes start, that my foot went numb. I wore them in my house, hoping they would loosen up - nope, not a bit! Needless to say, when I took them off they went right into the box and shipping carton to be returned. VERY disappointed in these!

Recycling is a great way to notice how much waste we as individual citizens create, and it affords us the opportunity to reuse it the way our frontier ancestors did. The average American produces about 3.8 pounds of recyclables every day. Even though recycling takes a few minutes of time, it can give you great personal satisfaction to know that the items you separate out are being reused instead of sitting uselessly in a landfill for hundreds of years. When you make the decision to keep a bottle to recycle at home instead of tossing it in the closest trash can, consider these benefits of your action: resource conservation, energy conservation (it uses more energy to make a new product than to recycle an old one), better air quality, land conservation, and economic growth (850,000 jobs and $86 billion in sales). Of course, the positive effects of recycling are most obvious when many people do it, which is why it is wonderful that Kiowa County has many options for recycling!
Greensburg and Haviland are fortunate to have monthly recycling pick-up through Nisly Brothers. Nisly's recycling pick-ups in Greensburg occur on the second Wednesday of the month for east-west streets and the third Wednesday of the month for north-south streets. In Haviland, recycling pick-up by Nisly is the fourth Wednesday of every month. Nisly does "single-stream recycling" for their residential monthly pick up, which means that they do all the separating of papers, plastics, cans, etc. for you after they pick up your recycling, which saves your time.
All residents of Kiowa County have the option to bring their recycling to the Kiowa County Recycling Facility at 1002 S. Grove Street in Greensburg if you separate your recycling into the following categories: white paper, mixed office paper, newspaper, magazines, plastic bottles, colored plastics, milk jugs, mixed plastics #3-#7, aluminum cans, steel cans, mixed paper and chipboard, phone books, green/blue glass, clear glass, brown glass, corrugated cardboard, feed sacks, and egg cartons. To view a list of items accepted and not accepted by the Kiowa County Recycling facility, visit their webpage or call Joel Schmidt, Recycling Supervisor, at (620) 723-1034. In Mullinville and Haviland, there are county trailers located within each community as a drop-off point for pre-separated recycling. Drop-off points are located at the intersection between Highway 54 and Main Street (Mullinville) and behind the nursing home on Main Street (Haviland).
In addition to the items collected by Kiowa County Recycling, the City of Greensburg has started a few recycling initiatives of its own. You can turn in handheld electronic devices, cell phones, eyeglasses, spent batteries, and compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) to collection boxes at the Greensburg City Hall. While one of the collection points for these items is City Hall, the eyeglasses collection is part of an initiative by the Lions Club where they provide glasses to the needy. The batteries, cell phones, and small electronic devices will be sent to The Big Green Box, which specializes in recycling these items. Contact City Administrator Ed Truelove for more information at (620) 723-2751.
In conclusion, recycle when you can! It's good for you, good for the County, good for the Earth, and it gets us back to our resourceful roots. Special thanks to Joel Schmidt, Joe Blair, Ed Truelove, and Catherine Hart for their consultation for this article.

Grove Classic Produces Great Second Night Of Racing
By Ben Deatherage
(Photos Courtesy of Madman Photography)
In the first night of action on Friday at the Cottage Grove Speedway there was some great racing. Saturday's program was just as good with a packed house on hand to watch the action of the final night for the Grove Classic. Classes that would compete during the evening were 360 Sprints, IMCA Modifieds, and Hornets.
In the 360 Sprints Roger Crockett had to work his tail end off in the first night of action after bypassing the scales after winning his heat race and start eighteenth but would still win the feature. In the second night the Medford driver had the luxury of starting on the pole position for the feature. But just because the SKS Racing/Al Parker Racing Engines #11 KPC started on the pole it didn't guarantee a walk in the park for him.
Crockett would seize the initial lead and set a very quick pace around the famed ¼-mile clay oval early. It would only take a handful of laps before lapped traffic came into the picture but when it did Crockett would cut through it quickly. But little did he know Rob Held of Sutherlin was making a charge to the front.
Held, in the family owned Held's Automotive/Budget Lumber #68 J&J, ran a distinct line on the very bottom of the race track that appeared to be just as fast if not quicker than the top where Crockett was. Just as Held was putting himself in a position to challenge for the lead a caution would occur on lap twelve.
On the restart Crockett would have open track to work with and Held now battled with the likes of Justyn Cox for second. The Harley Van Dyke owned Lucas Oil Products/K&N Filters/JRi Shocks #5H Maxim of Cox was quick up on the high side of the track. Cox would move into second place eventually after starting deep in fourteenth place.
As Crockett would continue to lead a final caution would occur on lap fourteen that would bunch the field up one last time. Crockett would take off and run away with lead once again and would show the way for the rest of the distance. For Crockett it would be a sweep of the features for the weekend and his thirteenth straight Grove Classic main event win.
"We had another really good car again," commented Crockett, "I didn't know how close anyone else was in traffic but patiently aggressive is my motto and it worked out for us tonight. It's a pretty crazy streak we have going with this race (Grove Classic) but it shows just how good we can be at this track."
Justyn Cox would finish in second while Bellingham, Washington's Brock Lemley made some late moves to place the Vaillant Racing/Moto Transportation/Deming Speedway #88 XXX in third for car owner Darcy Vaillant. Rob Held would end the evening in fourth followed by the Kovash Logging/Johanson Excavating #33V KPC of Henry Van Dam from Enumclaw, Washington.
Earlier in the evening Mitch Olson of Tacoma, Washington was fastest in qualifying in the PMI Truck Bodies/Pettit Oil Company #27 KPC with a time of 10.744 seconds. Heat race winners were Olson, the Wheeler Racing/In & Out Gardens/ABC Powdercoating #21W Maxim of Central Point's Vern Wheeler, Roger Crockett, and Henry Van Dam. Crockett would earn his pole position by picking up the win in the eight-car eight-lap trophy dash that was ran after the heat races were complete.
For the first time in 2013 the IMCA Modifieds graced the Cottage Grove Speedway. Defending track champion Troy McElroy from Shady Cove was the car to beat come feature time. McElroy would take the lead within the first five laps and cruise along to build a sizeable lead. The T&K Services/Affordable Self Storage #57M GRT by Yeager Racing would be out in front for the rest of the way despite a late challenge from Curtis Towns of Cottage Grove.
Towns would challenge McElroy for the lead in his SKS Racing/Valley Rose Construction #24 X-Factor with only a couple of laps to go but McElroy would keep the door shut. For McElroy it was the second straight year that he has won the first race in the Modified division at Cottage Grove.
"We had a lot of luck tonight," stated McElroy, "Curtis was coming pretty fast and I don't know if I could have held him off very much longer. I seen him once on the bottom but I shut the door on him so if he was going to get around me he would have to do it on the high side."
Towns would earn a respectable second place finish while coming home third was Don Muth Jr. from Cottage Grove in his Serendipity Spa & Salon/West End Performance #23 Shaw. Mark Carrell of Redmond crossed the line in fourth driving the Mark's Auto Body #27 GRT by Phillips and fifth place would go to Creswell's Gus Cooper in the Eastside Rollforming Specialties/BBQ Oil Barbeque Sauce #10 Pro. Heat race winners in IMCA Modified action were Cooper and Towns.
David Beals of Roseburg had the field covered all night long in the Hornet division. By the time the main event rolled along it looked as if no one had anything for him in his Double R Powdercoating #9. But just before the white flag came out Beals suffered mechanical problems and left for the pit area. The lead would be inherited by Junction City's Kolby Clay who would put his West End Performance/Team S.D.M.F. #8 in victory lane for the first time of the season in his first start of the year.
"I'll take this win any way I can get it," Clay would say in victory lane, "the #9 was pretty fast. I don't know if I could have got him if he hadn't broke."
The Pure Auto Works #7 of Josh Corley from Veneta would finish second while last week's winner Joe Maricle, also from Veneta, was third in his #11. The balance of the top five included Cottage Grove drivers Mike Simmons in the Industrial Finishes/Kimwood Corporation #34 entry in fourth and his brother Jim in the Small Town Treasures/Nichol's Napa Auto Parts #89 in fifth. Earlier in the night heat winners were Simmons and Beals while Beals won the trophy dash.
Cottage Grove Speedway will be back in action for a busy weekend next week. The first race for the Kage Karts will open the weekend on Friday May 3rd. Then on Saturday the 4th the Northwest Wingless Tour, Northwest Extreme Sprints (formerly Limited Sprints), IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, and Hornets will all be on the card. For more information be sure and log on to www.cottagegrovespeedway.com or call the new Northwest Tracks Hotline at (360)-699-RACE.

For All Spinning® Enthusiasts
The reason we have legs :)
04/25/2011 10:15 am
Forgive me my soapbox friends?this weekend I drove up to my mom?s house, which is about 200 miles away. Usually, I try to be green and take the train but with this being Easter weekend, the train was far more expensive. As I drove and finally stopped for gas, I was shocked that prices ranged from 3.69 a gallon to over 4.00, depending on what state I was in. Living in the city, I rarely drive and probably had not fueled up my car in over 4 months?so this price change was shocking to me. But you know what, it made me glad to hear reports on the news about skyrocketing gas prices making driving long distances more prohibitive for some. I?m hopeful that it makes short range driving prohibitive as well since public transport can be easily found in some areas and quite frankly, with the onset of the spring and summer seasons, walking and biking are green and healthy alternatives to getting into a car that not only costs a great deal more to run these days, but also just serves to pollute. Nevermind the fact that there are so many health benefits to just using our legs for locomotion, to get ourselves from point A to point B, correct? -JuneShare

Today I have a layout that I made using the Sophie and the Teresa Collins Sophisticated cartridges. If it looks familiar to you perhaps you noticed it on the Hello Thursday look book. It was a project I made for Provo Craft and was thrilled to see it featured!
This layout has lots of cuts and was somewhat time consuming.However, with all of the cut sizes I am about to give you this should be quite easy to duplicate.
|The paper is from Crate paper and the cardstock is from Close To My Heart. 'Sister' is cut out using the TC Sophisitcated cartridge at 2 1/2".
|Everything else is cut out using Sophie. I cut the leaves out at 1 1/2". The leaf cluster is cut out at 5". The daisies were cut at 3" and 2". The pink flower is cut out at 1 1/2" and a 3/4".
|The roses are cut out at 2", 2 1/2", and 1 3/4". The blue flowers are cut out at 1 1/2".
|This journaling tag is cut out at 3 1/2" and 3". The large shape (found in the doily portion of the cartridge) that everything sits on was cut out at 10 1/4".
Thank you so much for popping by today! If you love these flowers and want to see even more check out my blog because I have another 3D flower tutorial over there today! Check it out by clicking here ==> Courtney Lane Designs.
Have a terrific Tuesday!!

Redbubble posters are a lot like space travel. In that they're completely brilliant, however unlike space travel they're quite sensibly priced. They are a handy way to make very dull walls, ceilings and spaceships look infinitely better. Tack them to your bedroom door, or frame one above the mantlepiece. They're adaptable, efficient and bold and really it's amazing you've managed to go so long without picking one up.
They are printed on 185gsm semi gloss poster paper and custom cut to three maximum sizes – A2, A1 & A0. This includes a 5mm white border to assist in framing.

All good things must come to an end.
Coming into the regional, the CWC Bulldogs had a nice winning streak going, and they continued the trend with a win over host Hamilton County in the opening round. But not only did the Bulldogs meet their match in Flora, the Wolves made it look easy.
Flora defeated CWC, 68-47 to end the Bulldogs streak and season.
The game opened with a strong performance by Flora, who moved the ball and shot well. CWC found itself down early but mounted a comeback in the last couple minutes of the first. Flora took the early advantage with a 19-12 lead.
The second quarter was pretty much like the first. Flora tacked on another seven points to their lead to take a 36-22 lead into halftime.
CWC attempted to tighten things up in the third, but were unable to make up any ground. Both teams picked up 16 points in the quarter and Flora had a 52-38 going into the final quarter.
The final quarter seemed to take its toll on the Bulldogs and fatigue and desperation seemed to kick in. The shot selection and effort were down from the previous quarters and Flora took a 16-9 advantage in scoring in the fourth for the 68-47 win.
Jamey Steed led the Bulldogs on the scoreboard with 18 points. Others scoring were Brodie Brown with 11 points, Chase Sailer with 11 points, Jordan Large with four points and Andy Vaughan with three points.
Flora held a large advantage in the turnover differential at 9-16.
CWC hit 7-11 in free throws for 64 percent. Flora was 11-13 from the line for 85 percent.
Flora 68
Flora 19 17 16 16 68
CWCHS – Steed 18, Brown 11, Sailer 11, Large 4, Vaughan 3.
Flora – Taylor 18, Pearce 16, Leib 13, Shehorn 8, Thomas 8, Waiden 5.
