This hotel was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The room lighting was very bright, there were several English language TV stations, and a safe in the closet. From our patio (Rm. #322), which faced west, we had a great view of the bay below and snow-covered Mt. Etna. Blackout, electric window covers block out the sun if you want to sleep in. There were many choices at the buffet breakfast.
Next to the hotel is a public park with beautiful views. The town, including the Greek amphitheater, is within walking distance. Expect hilly walks and narrow pedestrian walkways. If you have a map, there are shortcuts from the hotel to the major pedestrian walkway where you can find shops, restaurants, ATMs, etc. If you don't want to walk to the center of town, there are eateries along the narrow pedestrian walkways, e.g., exit the hotel, proceed to street level, turn left, walk straight up a slight incline rather than following the road to the right. On this pathway, you will see a market on the right and various restaurants. The one with a display case of fish on ice in the front is quite good. (Sorry, I didn't get a card with the restaurant name.) The menu is posted on two walls just outside of the restaurant. You can't get lost.
The negatives: Limited electric outlets, no clothesline in the bathroom, no coffee-maker, and no free WiFi. Because the dresser drawers were the closet, surfaces to place items are limited. Walls are thin: We could hear a noisy neighbor.

BirdLife South Africa's Seabird Programme is at the forefront of seabird conservation, nationally and globally. Seabirds are the most threatened group of birds in the world - almost one third of all seabird species are threatened with some extinction risk. We risk losing iconic birds such as the African Penguin and the majestic albatrosses that roam the southern oceans.
We need to step up our efforts to protect seabirds because the current losses for many species are not sustainable.
To raise awareness and funds for seabird conservation, BirdLife South Africa's Seabird Programme hold the annual Oceans of Life Festival, part of National Marine Week, which aims to educate people about the threats seabirds face and inspire them to help BirdLife South Africa make a difference.
Location: Iziko Museum of Natural History
From: Oct 6th, 2016 To: Nov 25th, 2016
Venue: King's Map Hall
Date: 6 October 2016 to 25 November 2016
Oceans of Life – a retrospective is a culmination of the top images from the Oceans of Life international photographic exhibition, since 2009. The exhibition, hosted by BirdLife South Africa in partnership with the Iziko South African Museums, strives to show our oceans in all their splendor and glory. Photographers from all over the world have submitted their best work over the past seven years and 40 of these photos have been chosen for the exhibition. The 2016 Retrospective show, aims to exhibit the interrelatedness between conservation, love and knowledge, and how these three elements are jointly needed to preserve our most vital life source – our oceans.

Cats Take Big Step toward Self-Sufficiency with USC Win
Alex Poythress, Kentucky's lone senior, didn't even make the trip. John Calipari spent most of the game watching from the locker room after being ejected. The frontcourt fouls kept piling up. An already fired-up road crowd smelled blood.
The Wildcats had every reason to fold up the tent, but that was the last thing they were going to do.
"They reality of it is this game is about fight," associate head coach Kenny Payne said. "That team wanted to physically intimidate us. That team wanted to beat us up and show they're superior to the way we play, that we are soft. Well, we went out and fought for what we fought for and we had success doing it."
On the strength of that fight, UK turned in one of the most impressive regular-season performances of the Coach Cal era with first place in the Southeastern Conference on the line. The No. 22/21 Cats (19-6, 9-3 SEC) downed South Carolina (21-4, 8-4 SEC) in a road win just as dominant as the 89-62 final score indicated.
UK's prospects seemed fairly bleak when Coach Cal was ejected less than three minutes in, but the moment served only to unite the Cats.
"It was a shock," Tyler Ulis said. "It was crazy. I've never seen anything like that. But we all just responded. We tried to take over as a team and just stick together and do it all for Coach."
Ulis did plenty for his coach.
The sophomore point guard just may have interjected himself into the conversation for national player of the year honors in posting a career-high 27 points and 12 assists, adding two steals and committing only a single turnover. And to make his afternoon even more impressive, Ulis essentially became UK's offensive coordinator when Calipari was sent to the showers.
"Guys couldn't really hear calls from the sidelines and the coaching staff, they gave me the green light to just call what I wanted to call," Ulis said. "I just tried to get guys set and just try to get the win."
That allowed Payne, leading the team from the sideline in Calipari's absence, to focus on defense.
"I never touched on offense – didn't have to," Payne said. "Between Cal and Tyler Ulis, they're on the same page, and Tyler Ulis ran the offense. Every now and then I may have interjected something, but at the end of the day it was his show. The only thing I cared about was that we rebounded the ball, played great defense and shared the ball."
UK had the defense and rebounding covered against a South Carolina team hungry for a signature win. The Cats held South Carolina to 32.7-percent shooting and nearly played the Gamecocks – one of the nation's best rebounding teams – to a draw on the glass, losing the battle on the boards only 39-38.
"I'll say this to you: South Carolina is the most physical team in this conference," Payne said. "They are the toughest, fighting-est team in this conference. They win games because they absolutely beat you up, physical play, offensive rebound, defensive rebound, attack you constantly and for us to play the way we did makes a statement about who we are."
Marcus Lee was essential to that effort. His alley-oop dunk off a backboard pass from Ulis might make SportsCenter, but the tone he set in posting 11 points and 13 rebounds was the true story.
"I feel like it just started with him rebounding," Ulis said. "Trying to get in the paint for us. Guys got into foul trouble and he held it on his own down there getting boards. He saved me on that backboard lob. He just had a lot of energy today, dunking the ball, going up strong and rebounding for us."
From Ulis' leadership to Jamal Murray's decision-making in pouring in 26 points to Lee's toughness, UK put into action everything Calipari has been teaching all season. In spite of the fact Coach Cal's contact with his team was limited to only a brief halftime speech, his fingerprints were all over his team's performance.
"He apologized to the players for whatever, losing his cool whatever, wished it wouldn't have happened," Payne said. "But at the end of the day, again, his influence coached this game."
Calipari might regret why it happened, but he now has a team that has taken the reins from him. That's what he's always been working toward.
"I have never been more proud of a team," Calipari tweeted after the game. "They are now empowered. They've proven that they don't need me and I love it."

British scientists revealed yesterday that they believe they have discovered how to "switch off" autoimmune diseases.
There are hopes the breakthrough could be a cure for conditions like Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
With these and other autoimmune diseases, the body's immune system destroys healthy tissue by mistake.
But the researchers said they have discovered how to convert the cells that carry out this destruction into ones that actually protect against disease.
Professor David Wraith, who led the University of Bristol study, said: "These findings have important implications for the many patients suffering from autoimmune conditions that are currently difficult to treat."
The team said targeting the aggressive cells avoids the need for immune suppressive drugs, which are often linked to side-effects such as tumours.
Reality TV star Jack Osbourne, 28, revealed in 2013 that he had been diagnosed with MS. The debilitating condition affects around 100,000 people in the UK, while there are more than 300,000 with Type 1 diabetes including pop singer Amelia Lily, 19.
The Bristol study was published in Nature Communications, and the treatment is being clinically developed.
A blood test has been devised in Britain that could detect Type 2 diabetes earlier and prevent long-term harm.


text: Activists remain concerned that as international economic sanctions on aid, trade and investment are eased, the military and its cronies will be first to benefit from the influx of foreign funds.The bank approved Thursday an $80 million project to provide $25,000 grants to villages in 15 townships across the country, where community councils will identify the kind of help they want, such as roads, bridges, irrigation systems, schools, health clinics or rural markets. Last month, President Barack Obama lifted the U.S. restriction on international financial institutions like the World Bank lending to Myanmar after Congress passed legislation enabling that step. It was the latest in a series of steps by Washington to reward the country for its democratic reforms.

TALLAHASSEE, FL (WTXL) -- Almost a month after her body was found floating in a pool, deputies are saying that Samira Frasch was murdered.
The Leon County Sheriff's Office made the announcement at a 3 p.m. news conference Wednesday but they would not say if her husband, Adam Frasch, was a suspect
Adam Frasch is still in custody at the Leon County Jail for violating the terms of his release. After Samira's body was found, Frasch was charged with interfering with a custody agreement, when he was found in Panama City with the couple's two children.
However, he was sent back to jail when investigators found guns at his office, a violation of his pre-trial release
The Leon County Sheriff's Office said Wednesday that it is not releasing how Frasch was killed in order to protect the investigation.
Law enforcement officials have talked to 130 people as part of the investigation.


text: BioWare will no longer create Dragon Age: Inquisition DLC for last generation consoles. The link, which can be found here, details how 'existing Playstation 3 and Xbox 360' players will still be able to carry their save files over to current generation consoles, if they stick within the 'same family.' Also, if you happened to have purchased DLC for your last generation version, you will be able to carry them over for free. This news comes after Mike Laidlaw himself talked about the difficulties of creating content for previous generation consoles, which forced some ideas to be cut out, so any future DLC may incorporate these 'ideas.' Nonetheless, you are still expected to buy a new copy of the game--without any discounted price--though the game is decreasing in price.

I am planning a trip to Boston in early Aug 2012. I plan on flying into Logan on a Sunday and heading north to Quebec city for 3 nights. Then driving back to the Boston area for 4 nights. I'll fly out of Boston on the following Sunday.
My focus will be history. Any suggestions as to where to stay in either area and "must see" sites?
I am thinking;
Quebec City = the old citadel, old town, ??
Boston = Freedom Trail, USS Constitution, Minuteman Park at Concord & Lexington, ??

The places you want to see are all worthwhile, as are many others, particularly in Boston.
BUT: it is a 7 hour drive from Boston to Quebec, NOT including the time necessary to cross the border in both directions and stopping for food, fuel, and toilets along the way. So three nights in Quebec means one day on the ground sightseeing. You can see the sites in that time, but Quebec City is by far and away the most European city in North America, and it would be a shame to rush in and out and not have any time to absorb the atmosphere. It is in fact a pretty gorgeous trip, as least as far as the Canadian border, so you may not mind, but you need to think about it.
Now, the second thing is that you can't drive a rental car into Canada without the proper documentation from the rental company. Be sure that they know you will be doing this and that you know about and pay any additional fees. Of course, you will need your own documentation which may or may not be your passport.
Gasoline, cigarettes, and alcohol are a lot more expensive in Canada, so if any of theese matter to you on such a short trip, fill up before you cross the border.
Report Abuse
Compared the cost of flying into Boston, using public transportation there (a car is not a positive there) then flying to Quebec City and flying home from there. The costs of car rental, parking, etc. plus the extra time in the cities might make it worth it. You could also do the trip in the opposite direction.
Report Abuse
What about flying into Montreal and taking the much shorter drive to Quebec City? Then to Boston -- this will save you one of two long days in the car.
I haven't been to Quebec City, but I'm planning a trip this summer, so have some book-knowledge: other recommended historical sites include the Place-Royale (a square with 17th and 18th century houses), and the Musee de la Civilisation. Also visit-ible are the walls of the old fort that surrounded the city (Park l'Esplanad), and the Basilique Notre-Dame.

I know Boston hotels pretty well, one of my kids was at Boston Univ. and we have family there, so spend a lot of time there.
What price range/quality are you looking for on the hotel?
Report Abuse
capxxx raises an interesting possibility, but the last time I looked, one-way rentals between Canada and the US were either impossible or impossibly expensive.
Flights from Boston to QC are awfully expensive ($624 RT mid-May), or we would go at least once a year.
Report Abuse
OK, well if you decide to give us a price range on the hotels as asked, we could help.
Report Abuse
We are looking to keep hotel costs to less than $150 / nt. A freind recommended a place called the Wayside Inn, a historic B&B.
Any suggestions you have are appreciated. Trying ot stay outside of Boston proper to avoid the traffic and crowds, but will venture into the city for sightseeing.
Report Abuse
HOw are you planning to get into Boston, by car or on the T?
Report Abuse
I know you will have a car, but do you want to use the T to get into Boston, or are you willing to drive into the city and pay to park?
Report Abuse
The Wayside Inn is in Suwdbury, IIRC, and is the subject of a poem by Longfellow, also IIRC. That is a major area for upscale commuters, so there is masses of traffic into and out of the city morning and afternoon. I think the nearest commuter rail is Framingham, but Waltham might be more convenient. Or just drive and pay to park at the Pru or Boston Common.
Report Abuse
The Wayside Inn is pleasantly historic (at least from the outside, I've never stayed there). But it's not near public transportation, if memory serves, and the food at their restaurant is lousy.

$150 a night, in August, is a very tight budget for the Boston area.
We stayed at the Sheraton Needham, right off 95,two weeks ago, as I just could not find anything under $200 in the city. We drove into Boston from there via Comm. Ave (a pretty drive, you go right by Boston College), about 20 min. to get to the western part of the city (around BU). We paid $129 a night at that hotel, and it was very nice, more like Westin quality. I am seeing rates on the Starwood site at that hotel of $142 a night for the 2nd wk. of August, a very good deal. It is near lots of restaurants.
I checked the good budget hotels I know of in the city and none are $150 or less for early August. The Boston Park Plaza (a very nice hotel, have stayed there) is showing $186 on Orbitz, but that is as low as it gets in the city. That is an excellent deal.

I've gotten the Boston Park Plaza twice on Priceline for $99 or maybe slightly higher, once in May and once in November. I got the Sheraton at Pru Center once too for $129.

The Everafter Stones (死遭わせの石 Shi Awase no Ishi , lit. Stones of Encountering Death) are items that appear in Corpse Party: Blood Drive.
When pressed together and used with incantation "Nirvana, I summon the dead!" (「涅槃よ、死人を迎えよ!」 Nehan yo, shibito o mukaeyo! ), they can transport the user(s) to the Nirvana and back.
Corpse Party: Blood Drive Edit
While Ayumi Shinozaki is investigating Makina Shinozaki's home, she comes across a little box. After her friends and Aiko Niwa join up with her, they discover that it is impossible to open. Aiko then takes it home with her to try different methods of opening the box.
Aiko and Ayumi meet up later again in a cafe, along with Yoshiki Kishinuma. Aiko had tried and succeeded to get the box open, and had investigated the Everafter Stones found inside. She reveals most of what she has discovered to Ayumi and Yoshiki, starting with the Nirvana and how it was created, and ending with how the two can be used to go and come back from it. Aiko then asks the two of them to come with her into Heavenly Host. Ayumi questions why, and Aiko responds that she collects spiritual relics. Ayumi agrees, and as they leave, Yoshiki pickpockets Aiko's half of the stone. This does nothing, as Aiko has another set of stones that she kept quiet about.
Ayumi goes to Yoshiki's apartment later, and tells him that it may be possible to bring their friends back from Heavenly Host. Yoshiki takes the stone from Ayumi and throws them out of the window in front of a truck. Ayumi rushes outside in a panic to see that the stones are unharmed. Misuto Kiriya appears then, and resolves to help her go to Heavenly Host. Yoshiki objects, but Misuto punches him into a wall, and Ayumi and Misuto perform the ritual.
Meanwhile, Aiko approaches Haruyuki Inumaru and tells him about how Sayaka Ooue went to Heavenly Host. Haruyuki agrees to the idea, and Aiko uses the stones with him to go to Heavenly Host. Almost directly after performing the ritual, Magari Mizuki steals the halves. She then tries to use it by herself to go to Heavenly Host, but Yoshiki grabs onto her after she performs the ritual, and they are both transported to Heavenly Host.
When Naomi Nakashima is staying with the replacement T.A. after an incident with her mother, Kuon notes her sister's disappearance. She investigates Aiko's room, and discovers the box that the two Everafter Stones came in, along with the crushed remains of a third pair. Kuon analyzes the remains, and succeeds in making a duplicate of the pairs. Satoshi Mochida, Kuon, and Naomi use this pair to go to Heavenly Host.
Later on, when Misuto is revealed to have stayed in the real world, along with the stones, he talks to Yuka Mochida. He is able to convince her to go to Heavenly Host with him to search for Satoshi. Satsuki Mizuhara, who became suspicious of all this, decides to come along to protect Yuka, since she doesn't trust him. Then they all head to Heavenly Host.In the end, Ayumi swallows the nirvana and sacrifices her existence, after a tearful farewell, Yoshiki, Satoshi, Naomi, Yuka, Aiko, Satsuki, and Magari head over to the school through the front entrance since Ayumi tore open the Nirvana enough for them to escape. However, Yoshiki decides to stay behind and uses the pair of Everafter Stones from Misuto's corpse to save Ayumi and return her to the real world, albeit Ayumi not in a mentally and physically decent condition, and none of their friends remember their existence anymore.
Trivia Edit
- Everafter Stones are reference to the true name of Sachiko Ever After charm, Sachiko in the Everafter (死遭わせのサチコさん Shi Awase no Sachiko-san , lit. Sachiko of Encountering Death) before Naho Saenoki purposely changed the charm name into Sachiko Ever After (幸せのサチコさん Shiawase no Sachiko-san , lit. Sachiko of Happiness).
- A pair of Everafter Stones appear on the cover to the Corpse Party 2: DEAD PATIENT Drama CD Vol.2, possibly hinting that the items will play a part in future chapters.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
staff very helpful when deficiencies pointed out. Cold shower due to limited capacity of boiler during upgrade,
It had a pleasant outlook onto a lawn area. It was easily accessible on the ground floor yet sufficiently secluded to be reasonably quiet. On arrival the room was oppressively hot and it proved difficult to moderate this except by the expedient of turning the radiator off altogether. There was a persistent ticking sound, possibly associated with the heating system, that was disturbing. Provision of net curtains for daytime privacy would have been appreciated.
Nice quiet room, all the normal facilities. Good breakfast Cleaners were quite noisy in the morning, and knocked on door to see if they could clean the room instead of waiting until we had checked out.
I have criticised the Lysmoyne previously. On this occasion they were excellent in the way they looked after my mother during this stay, No
There was a desert spoon holding the shower head together in room 10
convenient location for our needs. very enjoyable breakfast.lovely setting.Shame we could not stay longer none
Friendly staff good food Very public areas
The service and food in the restaurant were both excellent. The vegetarian options for the cooked breakfast were very poor (basically the full English but without the sausage, bacon etc.)
Staff were friendly but lacked expertise and experience, okay for 1 or 2 night stop over but not really family friendly, not a lot to do at the hotel, had too get out and about to find fun and adventure for the children. We stayed a week and spent most of our time away from the hotel, probably wouldn't stay there again.
it was pretty good value for money if you need to be in the Fleet area
The bar felt welcoming, more personal than usual hotel bars.
We booked room only at a very reasonable price - only marginally more than a Travelodge. Hotel was very good for the money. The facilities were very good and staff helpful. We did not take breakfast as this was rather expensive at £25 for two people. Wifi was not free.
Reasonable cost and good service
We only stayed for one night as we were going to a local wedding. Good transport to location provided by minicabs to church and home that evening. I did not like the fact that the curtains did not keep out the light in the morning as they were not wide enough. Other friends mentioned this also.
The Hotel and grounds were beautifully kept and the staff very polite and helpful. We really enjoyed the leisure centre and swimming pool. We had no hot water in our room due to a boiler fault but the staff made sure we could shower elsewhere it was inconvenient though. I was also dissappointed that for a four star hotel there were no table cloths on the dining tables for dinner it made it feel more like a pub.
the staff were very helpfull and as i was late for dinner they fitted me in and with no complaint thank them very much
Front of House Staff are professional and friendly. The bathroom was not to my standard. There was a used shower gel container remaining on the shower fitment indicating that the shower and bath are not regularly included in the routine cleaning. This is poor practise and I consider unacceptable. I was disappointed that this was the case.
Swimming pool, sauna, HB inclusive, room facilities. No free internet access
Not what we expected. Barcelo name suggests an upmaket place but it was just average, breakfast was good though. Cramped room, black mould in the tiling in bathroom.
friendly staff
The Aviator hotel is inspiring! Their attention to detail is a breath of fresh air. The cudstomer service is proffesional and personal!
Excellent Hotel Brasserie service was a bit lacking as we had to ask 3 times for our wine and it arrive after our starter.
Room excellent very comfortable, generally all necessary facilities were available ie access to the internet was very uesful, the staff were helpful and friendly nothing too was much trouble. I thought that the breakfast charge was excessive and not necessary taking into concideration the cost of the room.
Excellent hotel, a hidden gem...
Nothing was too much trouble an enjoyable stay. Its expensive
The hotel is extremely stylish and plush. We stayed in a standard room, but it was plenty big enough and beautifully furnished. The restaurant food was excellent, and the staff were obliging when we asked for a dish that did not appear on that day's menu. I think the bathroom lighting could have been a bit better.
Excellent. Fantastic design, in particular the lobby area which is stunning. No swimming pool or Sp
Just everything. Staff are extrememly friendly with everything you need at the hotel.
The foyer and sky bar is lovely Reception staff were not friendly and considering the hotel didn't seem busy I was disappointed that I was given a small first floor room with a road view. Puzzled as to why the entrance is so far from the car park when there is another entrance much closer that is closed. I live locally to this hotel and frequent the sky bar often which I will continue to do and I definitely recommend a visit.. .. to the bar only!
Staff were able to provide a room despite having no record of my booking on their computer. Have to walk outside in the cold around the building to the front from the accommodation for breakfast past the scruffy back doors to the kitchen.
the helpfull staff,the room being clean always looks nice. But best was peace & quiet Cannot think of anything
comfortable room, good food in the bar, convenient stop over for our trip up the motorway from Somerset
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and tidy Nothing
The location was just what we needed to visit family, it was comfortable and clean Restaurant staff were very lax at keeping the buffet topped up and the Sunday carvery was the same, no vegetables for the carvery but plenty for the normal menu. Very poor.
It was a lovely hotel, breakfast was good and fresh, restuarant was lovely
Location for where we needed to be The food was very poor standard and we felt the room and hotel needed some upgrading
Location. No better, and in some respects less good, than a Travelodge at more money. Characterless room, small bathroom with a horrible shower curtain - the type that tends to gravitate towards you when showering. Breakfast was a bit hit and miss, made worse because I did not receive my early morning call making me 40 mins behind schedule.
We had a lovely stay at the Ely Hotel. The staff were very nice.The room was very clean with lots of coffee, tea etc.Breakfast was very nice. There was a lot of choice on offer.We will stay at the Ely Hotel again. The restaurant is very good. Bed a bit lumpy.
The accommodation was superb and the staff very friendly and helpful
Liked my stay
Clean and comfortable room with friendly staff
Peace and quiet Friendly service Large spacious room - well equiped
The rooms were very clean on comfortable, the bar was lovely and relaxing Shame that the evening meal wasn't the best and expensive
The room was extremely comfortable and the evening in the bar and dining was a pleasurable experience
clean and good food no
Staff were helpful and attentive Rooms were clean and comfortable Hotel address suggests Farnham but it is a bit outside Farnham, not easy to find and on a main road so location was not great if you wanted something in Farnham itself
The room was lovely and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The Pub next door was nice and the meals were good. A very nice place to stay.
Excellent condition facility well maintained and spotless stayed there on several occations an would not hesitate to recomend it to a friend jump in price from previous stay £25.00
Connection to pub with good food. Good value for money. Only complaint would be the pillows that werent the most comfortable.
The staff were very friendly and were on hand to help as I was fully laden with baggage. There is no room service as the lodge is separate to the restaurant. This isn't a huge issue, but I arrived late and would have liked to eat and relax in my room.
Not bad, thought I would be getting a better room for the money paid. Very average. Double bed was fare too small. Mattress fare too soft, room far too small. Not enough hanging space in wardrobes. Lacked not having a mini bar, and fridge.TV Not adequate.Bed far too soft, too hot at night.
it was my anniversary and they made it special the dinner was not good and the breakfast was cold
Very clean, beautiful buildings and gardens The staff (mostly east-european) was very unfriendly. Coffee was cold when I got breakfast served. They charged me in Euros instead of Pounds on my visa without asking meaning that I pay more to the hotel, that's ripping off.
Excellent. Beautiful surroundings- the gardens were lovely. Food was very good and service excellent. I left my bracelet in my room and the hotel sent it on immediately. I definitely recommend this hotel and we shall be returning. Earlier check in would be better- 3.30pm is a little bit late in the day to really get to enjoy all the facilities if you are staying one night.
afternoon tea!
Beautiful grounds and nice food. Tennis and swimming facilities are good if not very new.
The thing I liked best was the Molton Brown stuff, the robes etc in the bathroom. I get annoyed when I pay this sort of money for a hotel room and its clearly been penny pinched. Stupid little cups to make tea in in the morning. Mugs are what real men need. Irons and ironing boards should be available in all rooms as standard - most business travellers will need to iron a shirt and its a pain to have to call housekeeping.
Quality of rooms and gardens Very slow dinner service
Cosy, well presented, comfortable bed, and lovely bathroom. Nothing
Friendly reception, good location. very warm inside the rooms
Convient location with helpful staff
the price - too expensive for the quality...little rooms , no clim, TV remote control not working, no minibar, poor breakfast
The Staff were very helpful and pleasant. The room was clean and tidy and more than adequate for an overnight stay. Plenty of coffee sachets in room but only 1 milk.
A bit dowdy, needs a revamp of furnishings
Breakfast the room, booked for a family of four and there were only three beds
Room comfortable; clean; quiet; good facilities; Shower worked well; Good cooked breakfast Room gloomy, lighting poor; Bathroom floor tiles cracked and bathroom window would not open for ventilation; Toast and cooked breakfast all on one plate, no butter or margarine for the toast, Only one small cup of coffee served with breakfast
the hotel staff and facilites were excellent
I had a good feeling from the minute I entered the hotel. The staff were all polite and attentive and without attitude. The restaurant had a cosy ambience and the waiter was polite and attentive without being intrusive. The room was clean and comfortable. A minor point really, I found that turning on the taps for a shower awkward due to an immovable screen.
The evening meal menu was exactly the same each evening an occasional change would of been welcome.
Breakfast was nice and plentiful Gym is more than ample Staff were helpful when i asked for local knowledge Location was picturesque and convenient Had to go from room to Bar during room service as i was not able to put the cost on the room and my details had not been taken nor requested on check in. Radiator noise kept me awake even when i switched off the heating, the flowing water through the system was a continual irritant.
Only stayed one night and arrived late so didn't get to experience all the hotel had to offer. It is set in a nice location with nice grounds and nice traditional style building, the room was clean and had all standard facilities and had everything I needed. I didn't actually get a chance to use it, but the spa facilties and treatments looked good. Was slightly disappointed with the service at breakfast. Food was fine but the service was a bit slow as I had to ask several times for my coffee and only received it towards the end of the breakfast. This was not a major issue and may have just been due to it being a busy time
Room was excellent, staff were friendly.
Spa was lovely & the staff very helpful I have stayed before and had this same problem. The breakfast staff both times were unhelpful & quite surly, we had to wait about 20-30mins to order our coffee & breakfast & that was only after i kept asking the staff. There was a few if us & we seemed to be ignored. The last time we stayed the same thing happened & it spoilt the weekend as it is the last memory before you check out
The staff were very freindly with us and our daughter. Food was excellent
This hotel was excellent in every way; it always is. None
Pleasant garden and chairs. Convenient location. Confusion regarding our room no.when checking in. A long wait to be seated for breakfast. No self service breakfast first 2 days and very small portions of scrambled eggs and toast. One butter for a table of 4 people!!
almost everything bar staff slow in seving
We had booked this hotel as a surprise weekend for a friends birthday. The accommodation & facilities were lovely and the staff all very polite and helpful. We chose the hotel for its proximity to Ascot, for our day at the races and the staff arranged to keep our picnic lunch in cold store until we needed it the following day.We had a very enjoyable stay.
Prompt room service and breakfast allowing for an early departure. Professional but friendly staff. Immaculate room. No
The quietness and privacy. The building and location were also great.
The beds and the waitress was very helpful I have complained already: the cold showers, the meals, the lack of english speaking staff
rooom very comfortable, and the food very good. Forgot to bring swimming costume, would have liked to use the pool, looked lovely.
The breakast room has views of the pond.That was very special. For the price the faciities were poor
Location, The choice to upgrade to a quiet room The decor too modern and lacking in charm,small swimming pool
Going for walks around the lakes. The quality of the food for dinner was excellent, but spoiled by having to eat alone in a side room behind reception. That we were unaware till arrival that the hotel had large weddings for both of the evenings we had booked.
staff help for routes to cain manor wedding and early book-in help
Smell of smoke in non smoking room, room above unloading point for service vehicles, barrels delivered at 0730. Food poor in presentation and choice, same limited menu each night
the location and the peacefullness of the place we never had hot water which was so dissappointing
Views from dining room. Quiet, peaceful location. Disappointed with quality of cooked breakfast.
Quiet location
Booked this hotel last minute and got an excellent deal, the room was fantastic, the staff were more than helpful, and there was an all you can eat english breakfast buffet! Wifi in the bedroom with an IPod dock so I could play my music in the room, iron and ironing board, everything I wanted was catered for. Would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area again! Nothing
I liked the convenience of the location, near the shops, staff were very friendly, i was able to get food and drink whenever, the rooms were nice and clean ans comfortable nothing comes to mind
Nice modern hotel with great facilities. Liked the busy bar & having Starbucks in the lobby. Only shower in the room -no bath.
Good value
Nice clean western style hotel. Free internet. Very comfortable beds. Isolated location with respect to shopping and restaurants/pubs.
Nice clean friendly modern enviorment My husband and I both suffered with hardly any sleep during our stay due to the fact that the bed was just so hard and uncomfortable
First class hotel. There are no bad points what so ever.
Good layout of hotel. Booking by net did not reach hotel,we were found diferent accomodation for part of our stay
the staff were very friendly and welcoming. the room was very warm and comfortable with stylish decour. Food was very good and alot of choice. more channels on tv
quitenesss, cleanliness,fitness gym, 1-rooms had no heaters while tempreature was -4c, 2- hotel dosen't have shuttle to train station or flight safety school , 3-no fruits or cokies upon reception. 4- no toilets amienity what so ever
Very personal and friendly staff, this small hotel with selected number of rooms makes you feel very welcome. The fact that there were proper duvets and that each room is decorated differently each having it's own style. And I loved the service that they bring your cuppa tea free of charge to your room. if anything, then the noise from the traffic but nothing that would stop me from booking again,
The welcome, the ambiance and the breakfast.
Very helpful staff, Rooms are small for the cost.
Clean, good quality, food good, friendly No bath, just power shower
Lovely people, anxious to please. Pleasant room. Not enough experience of hotel trade and hadn't ensured that everything was in place following their takeover of the business.
Close proximity to the town centre It was on a noisy road
Perfect for a couples getaway
Personal attention n/a
nice rooms,nice breakfast,
I enjoyed the service and friendliness of the staff nice and clean room and a good bed and shower!!
Brillliant hotel/Inn at the price! Very cosy restaurant/pub.
The only thing that was better than most other hotels was the choice of biscuits in the bedroom. Beds were narrow and the bedroom and bathroom were small. The walls were not soundproofed so that it was possible to hear everything that was going on in the next room. The location of the hotel was also noisy, which made sleeping difficult. The restaurant experience did not compensate for the poor room.
Price, breakfast Bathroom is a little shabby
Breakfast and large room
Reception did not answer the phone in the evening due to staff shortage. The general mananager was needing to double-up as a barman.
took at least 15mins for anyone to arrive to register us in. in my sons bathroom was a used tampon. not impressed. breakfast was ok and staff were very friendly.
Everything,lovely room,good facilities,excellent staff
Wash basin covered in previous guests BEARD!!,beds to high and uncomfortable,waiting staff not organised,breakfast not adaquetely cooked,WOULD not recomend or stay AGAIN,very disapointing,definetely not value for money!!!.
Thr bathroom was pretty nice...
Staff very helpful hotel and room clean
Clean room even extra pillows provided. all staff pleasant and helpful. breakfast excellent.
The hotel receptionist on checking out was so cheerful and kind helping us with directions to where we were meeting up with friends.; She could not have been more cheerful.
Cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff We were in a quad room and the fourth bed was a made up mattress on the floor which we found unsatisfactory.
The staff were excellent,both polite and efficient. The pre booked room was located immediately and the access given with minimum of waiting time. Having seen adverts fr a room at £29 it was a shame that my single room was over £60 possibly due to lack of detail on the booking web site.
The comfort of the beds
Very warm welcome. Service excellent.
The hotel it self was quite good, clean and the staff good. Tv was a waste of time frozen picture on every channel. The food in the Brewers Fayre the first night was a disgrace. The Cheesy Cobbler I had was very poor hard as a rock bun and no cheese. My wifes Scampi were very poor almost burnt.
The attitude of the staff always eager to please. the fitness suite nothing
The best part of my stay was my massage wirh Sue. She is excellent. I was disapointed that the Steam Room & Sauna were not working.
Expected better from Holiday Inn,room smelling of damp and were dull.After 20min at reception,they did change my room but only had (so called junior suite ! extra £30 ) slightly larger room with 1970's sofa and tv. Not really much better, toilet was loose with cracked tiles in bathroom!. Hotels public areas were revamped, looks very nice and modern,only if rooms were half as nice !!!! but rooms are in poor state.I Was booked for 3 nights, But checked out on the sat morning.Paid little more 500yds down road 4star hotel ,looking over airport amazing hotel very modern with free mini bar with tv in bathroom and Bose music.So if you going to Holiday Inn (Don't). I am not a snob but expect clean bright modern room not something from the 70s 80s Very poor Hotel with facelift.
Overall good No elevator, would be an advantage to be able to indicate preference for a ground floor room
Very friendly and helpfull staff
Very nice room, not like in another english hotels.Very good bathroom. The breakfast was really good. The reception and the main building of the hotel looks very expensive The room was a little bit too small. The long way to the room wasnt nice.
The room was comfortable and spacious and the staff were very polite and helpful and made us feel welcome at all times
none none
friendly good service drinks very very expensive
Very helpful staff

I had my jazz piano lesson last night after work. My teacher, Chris tested my hearing and it was purely an embarrassment. Back in those piano exam days, I have almost failed my aural test. Bordeline.
So he first did interval, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th. I could only tell the intervals of 4th and 5th, the rest I failed.
Then went on to all the 7th of chords, major 7th, minor 7th, diminished7th and dimin 7th flat 5. I could only get diminished chord.
Another embarrassment.
We then recap last week piece, on blues scales improvisation… didn't do very well on that. Then went to chord progression the 2-5 chords, my reaction time was slow.
Having all these background, Chris has been so patient with me. Obviously, I didn't practice a lot of my piano. I was tempted by Prince of Laziness. I was embarrassed because it's a reflection of my laziness.
Instead, he kept on saying, " you are doing very well. You tried syncopated rhythm , not as jerky as before." Excellent, that's great..
After the lesson, I texted my teacher :
"Thank you for your patience. I can't even stand myself!"
Unexpectedly, he replied:
"Hi Irene, you are doing great and it's fun passing on a little knowledge to you..keep up the good work and see you next time. Chris"
I am greatly encouraged. My teacher is so gentle and patient. =) I am grateful that I am his student.
Guess I have to spend more time on the piano that on the TV screen.
p/s: i googled him again today and a brief biography is as below: i like the word chameleon-like qualities
Chris Jerome has been using his chameleon-like qualities to enhance the music of numerous leading artists over the last fifteen years. A dynamic and original jazz player, he has been a key member of Courtney Pine's band for the last five years, as well as putting in a number of appearences with Jazz Jamaica and many other key players in the 'warriors' movement. His diversity has also seen him work extensively with influencial figures in 'world music', including among others Osibisa and Hugh Masekela. He is also equally at home in contemporary r&b settings having featured in recordings by Jamelia, Beverley Knight and others and touring with disco legends Sister Sledge. Such is the diversity of Chris Jerome for whom making music is about breaking barriers, crossing borders and making use of the full range of sonic possibilities.

Welcome to the ineedhits Search Engine Marketing blog, where we share the latest search engine and online marketing news, releases, industry trends and great DIY tips and advice.
In a move to significantly expand the reach of its network, Ask.com has just acquired the Lexico Publishing Group, owners of dictionary.com, thesaurus.com and reference.com
According to internet research company comScore, 500 million searches every month are conducted for dictionary, thesaurus and general references. Lexico Publishing's sites are not only the top domains in the space, but also carry a significant share of the traffic – approx 15.6 million visitors in Mar 08.
Ask.com execs believe the acquisition will increase its user numbers by about 11% to 145 million users every month, pushing above the likes of Apple and Facebook.
Jim Safka, Chief Exec of Ask.com reports "More than 30 per cent of all searches conducted on Ask.com are in the reference category. 'Dictionary' was the second-most searched term on Ask.com in 2007″.
While there seems to a be a logical fit in terms of search behavior, industry analysts aren't convinced the move will address the company's real issues. Douglas McIntyre from the Wall Street Journal had this to say about the acquisition:
"The purchase of Lexico is based on deeply flawed thinking. Consumers who use an online dictionary are not likely to use the search engine which is owned by the same company, especially if that search engine is Ask.com. Ask has already lost the search race because it is a weak product. People using the internet can click from Dictionary.com to their favorite search engine, probably Google, in one click which takes one second.
Buying a potential audience for an internet property that very few people use will not change consumer habits and that makes the investment a waste."
Perhaps the move isn't about bolstering Ask.com's search engine success, and more a key traffic driver. The important next step for Ask is – how do they effectively monetize the user base?

Detroit (MI) University of Detroit Jesuit linebacker Parris Bennett visited Syracuse's campus for the first time over the weekend. He was able to take in all things Orange to see what it would be like to join the program.
"I got a tour of the campus and the business school," Bennett described. "I saw the facilities and met with the coaches. I enjoyed it. I liked it a lot. I talked to all of the coaches. It was a great visit. I liked everything I saw."
Maybe the best part of the visit for Bennett was being able to speak with both Clark Lea and Scott Shafer. He says both conversations went very well.
"I sat down with my linebackers coach, Coach Lea," Bennett said. "He's really cool. I've had a great relationship with him since he was at Bowling Green. We just talked about me playing multiple positions if I go there. Things like that.
"Then I sat down and talked with the head coach about his philosophy and where he comes from. Kind of the process at the school. All types of stuff."
Bennett was hosted by current linebacker Cam Lynch. The two spent a lot of time together, and Lynch was able to give Bennett inside information about being a linebacker at Syracuse.
"Cam was a great host," Bennett admitted. "We had a great time. He told me how Coach Lea is his favorite linebackers coach he's had since he's had a new one every year he's been there."
Also spending a few minutes with Bennett was former Orange linebacker Derrell Smith who stopped by the campus to observe Friday night's recruiting camp.
Overall, Bennett said he enjoyed the visit. Now he wants to give himself time to process the trip and discuss it with his family.
"Honestly, it's all went really good," Bennett explained. "I had a really good time. I had a great time. I really enjoyed the campus and just being around everybody. I didn't consider committing because I want to talk to my mom and see what they think.
"I'm still going to decide by the end of this month. I'm going to Wisconsin on Tuesday to go to their camps. I might go out to Pittsburgh next week, but I'm not sure."

RBI said the credit facility extended by lenders to a borrower in about 30 odd sub-segments like roads and bridges, LNG and oil pipelines, water treatment plants, telecom towers, and three-star hotels would qualify as infrastructure lending
Mumbai: Giving a boost to key segments like roads and bridges, LNG and oil pipelines, water treatment plants, telecom towers, and three-star hotels, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has given them 'infrastructure status' and paved way for them to avail easier funding from banks, reports PTI.
In a notification, RBI said the credit facility extended by lenders (banks and select financial institutions) to a borrower in about 30 odd sub-segment of the infrastructure sector will qualify as "infrastructure lending".
With 'infrastructure lending status' companies can avail loans for a longer period at lower rate of interest.
The government had been wanting to give a boost to the infrastructure sector to revive the sagging economy
In the transport category, roads and bridges, ports, inland waterways, airport, railway track, tunnels, viaducts, bridges, urban public transport will qualify for infrastructure lending.
In the energy segment, generation, transmission, distribution, oil pipelines, oil/gas/liquefied natural gas storage facility and gas pipelines would qualify.
Likewise, solid waste management, water supply pipelines, water treatment plants, sewage collection, treatment and disposal system, irrigation (dams, channels, embankments), storm water drainage system projects come under infrastructure lending
Telecommunication, telecommunication towers, education institutions, hospitals, three-star or higher category hotels located outside cities with over one million population, common infrastructure for industrial parks, SEZ, tourism facilities, agriculture markets, fertiliser (capital investment), post harvest storage infrastructure for agriculture, terminal markets, soil-testing laboratories, cold chain etc would also be included under infrastructure lending, it said.
RBI said the new definition for infrastructure lending was provided to avoid confusion and difficulties that arise due to multiplicity of definitions among various regulators, as lending to the sector has grown significantly.
The revised definition would be effective immediately, RBI said.
The exposure of banks to projects under sub-sectors which were included under the previous definition of infrastructure, but not included under the revised definition, will continue to get the benefits under infrastructure lending for such exposures till the completion of the projects, it added.
"However, any fresh lending to those sub-sectors from the date of this circular will not qualify as infrastructure lending," RBI said.
RBI allowed banks to open to open offices exclusively performing administrative and controlling functions in Tier-I centres without obtaining permission from the central bank
Mumbai: Banks need not seek permission of the Reserve Bank of India to open administrative offices in large cities (Tier-I), reports PTI.
"With a view to further increasing operational flexibility of banks, it has been decided to permit domestic scheduled commercial banks (other than RRBs) to open offices exclusively performing administrative and controlling functions in Tier-I centres without the need to obtain prior permission," it said in notification today.
Currently, banks (excluding RRBs) are permitted to open branches in Tier-II to Tier-VI centres (with population less than 100,000) and in rural, semi-urban and urban centres in north-eastern states and Sikkim without seeking its permission.
In its second quarter Monetary Policy 2012-13 in mid-October, RBI had proposed to permit banks to open offices in Tier-I centres as well.
RBI, however, said the permission granted would be subject to regulatory and supervisory comfort and it would have the option to withhold permissions granted on a case-to-case basis.
Though, the apex bank made it clear that opening of branches including Central Processing Centres (CPCs)/ Service Branches by banks in tier I centres (with population of 100,000 and above) will continue to require its prior permission.
In a separate notification, RBI asked the banks to strictly adhere to the policy and guidelines for hiring of premises on lease or rental basis in metropolitan, urban, semi-urban and rural areas.
"It has been observed in certain cases that banks have not complied with the ... instructions while acquiring premises for their branches causing avoidable inconvenience to customers and possible reputation risk to the banks," it said.
Banks are required to formulate guidelines for acquiring premises on lease or rental basis including delegation of power at various levels.
As well they are required to ensure that the location of the branch complies with the local norms, laws of Municipal Corporation, Nagar Palika, town area authority, village panchayat or any other competent authority.
In a bid to boost his bonuses and chances of promotion, Ghanaian-born trader Kweku Adoboli exceeded his trading limits, failed to hedge trades and faked records to cover his tracks during 2008 and 2011
London: UBS trader Kweku Adoboli, who gambled away $2.3 billion of the Swiss bank's money, was jailed for seven years in London for Britain's biggest-ever fraud, reports PTI.
The Ghanaian-born banker, 32, had been found guilty of two counts of fraud by a jury at Southwark Crown Court earlier today but cleared of four charges of false accounting.
"There is a strong streak of the gambler in you," judge Brian Keith told Adoboli as he sentenced him. "You were arrogant to think the bank's rules for traders did not apply to you.
"The tragedy for you is that you had everything going for you.
"Your fall from grace as a result of these convictions is spectacular."
The judge said Adoboli would serve half his sentence before being released on licence.
Adoboli wiped away tears as he was sentenced. He had admitted the losses but denied any wrongdoing.
During the two-month trial he claimed senior managers were fully aware of his activities and encouraged him to take risks to make profits for UBS.
But prosecutors said that in a bid to boost his bonuses and chances of promotion, Adoboli exceeded his trading limits, failed to hedge trades and faked records to cover his tracks between 2008 and 2011.
The tactics initially paid off -- prosecutors said he earned $90 million for UBS and its clients by May 2011 and the bank rewarded him with huge bonus increases, rising from $23,887 in 2008 to $3,98,125 in 2010.
But as the financial crisis took hold, Adoboli's deals went bad. The court heard had that at one point he was at risk of causing the bank losses of $12 billion.
"The amount of money involved was staggering, impacting hugely on the bank but also on their employees, shareholders and investors," said Andrew Penhale, deputy head of fraud at the Crown Prosecution Service.
"This was not a victimless crime."
A UBS spokesman said: "We are glad that the criminal proceedings have reached a conclusion and thank the police and the UK authorities for their professional handling of this case. We have no further comment."
