Anyone ready for the next chapter of JR's adventure through necromorph-infested colonies? LOL XD
There's gonna be some action (finally) and a first glimpse of a few Dead Space Items and Enemies, Enjoy
Chapter 2: EarthGov Tells Us "Fuck You"
"What the fuck is that?"
"What?" John came out and looked up into the sky. "That looks like a gunship, an EarthGov gunship, what the hell are they doing here?"
"I don't know, we're way off the map, and still getting settled here. Weird, really weird." I kept walking to the central base so I could get the RIG off of me and back to Jennifer to propose to her.
"JR, what's that?" John grabbed my shoulder and turned me the other way, facing the horizon and the setting sun.
"What am I looking at?" I tried to focus in on what he wanted me to see. Then, in the distance, I saw a structure that kind of looked like a DNA Double Helix but had a kind of blood red hue on it. "John, what the fucking hell is that?"
"I don't know, but I think you should get to Jennifer as fast as you can." He started to push me away toward the base when the structure seemed to screech and bursts of light where being fired from it. The screech bored into my head and made my ears ring, it was like nails on a chalkboard times 1,000,000, and took me off my feet temporally. It was then that I heard the voice again.
'This new marker must be stopped, JR. You must Make Us Whole Again……'
"What the hell, what do you want from me?" I screamed out into the air.
"JR, come on, lets get inside the base." John brought me to my feet and walked into the base, but what we saw in there was pure horror. All of the personnel, all of the people that I and John knew somewhat from working with them, were all strewn across the floor. It was a mass suicide and most had both tied a bag around their heads and suffocated or they blew their brains out. "John, what the fuck happened here?"
"I don't know, JR, I don't know….."
I looked over at John's face and saw that he was at a total loss for words and emotion, and that condition was slowly creeping over at me. "We need to get out of here, John." I tried getting to my feet and slowly come up when the voice returned again.
'This is the beginning, you must stop the Marker from triggering the Convergence event on this planet, and you need to stop it at all costs……'
Pain shot from my forehead to deep inside my head in my brain. It was just a massive headache that rumbled in my head for a good amount of time.
"JR, hold on." John caught me before I hit the floor and laid me down on the couch in the lobby of the base. "Listen, I'll be back, JR." He looked at me and started to walk away when we both heard his voice.
"Stop right there." The man was dressed in a weird sort of white clothes that resembled doctors' coats and had a blue ring on his ring finger. "Where do you think you're going?" he said to John.
"I'm going to get help…please help us….." John pleaded with the man.
"I am sorry but I am only here for him, and you, my son, must go into the embrace of the plan God has for you." Just then, a sort of creature with what looked like scythes for hands, grabbed hold of the man and tore him to shreds.
"FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!!!" John picked me up from the couch and we ran outside, towards the next base building. "What the fuck was that, was that a Fuckin Alien?"
"Just keep going, man…" my head was still pounding and pain was still shooting through all parts of my brain.
"Alright, hold on" John opened the next base building's door and locked it promptly after we were inside.
"What is this building?" I asked him.
"I think this is the Mining building, I'm not sure…" He walked around and found one of the stores in the front of the office. "Ok, Ok, let's see…."
I tried getting to my feet and stood up for a little bit, investigating the area we were in. "John, here…" he turned and caught the Miner RIG schematic I threw at him.
"What do I need this for? You need it more than I do."
"No, my RIG stays on me, we never know when we're gonna need to hack our way through something."
"Right, it's safer that way." He uploaded the schematic to the store and turned towards me.
"Little help here; I don't have these kinds of credits"
I walked toward him and saw that the RIG was 110,000 Credits. "Two seconds." I pulled up my RIG's internal computer and gained access to the store's CPU. "Go inside." The display on the store disappeared and he stood inside, bolted to the metal platform.
"This isn't gonna hurt, right?" he asked me.
"I don't know, I put on my own RIG." I looked at him and a grin spread across my face. "Just stay calm." I finished tinkering with the computer and shut down my RIG's computer. The door from the store closed and a bright white line came down from the top to the bottom of the door and when it opened, John stepped out with the Mining RIG on.
"Feels weird, heavy." He flexed his arms and the flaps on his shoulders popped up and came back down. The helmet began to cover his face and he looked around, testing how far he could turn his head. "Yeah, this is very weird." He started to walk and nearly lost his balance.
"I think it's gonna take some getting used to." I said, looking up at his helmet.
"Let's see if we can find some weapons, I don't think that thing was very friendly…" He started forward and took baby steps at a time, trying to get used to the unmanuverability of his new RIG. We ended up in the equipment room and found a mining tools locker.
"Let me see if I can open this…." I said, trying to pull up my RIG's computer before John kicked the door in. "Huh."
"Well, now we know this RIG is a powerhouse." He said, his helmet coming down, letting me see his face.
"Just had to show off, right?" I said, laughing.
"Shut up and let's get something."
I looked around and saw all the different tools on the wall. Assorted tools such as a 211-V Plasma Cutter, a Handled Gravitron Accelerator, and an IM-822 Handheld Ore Cutter Line Gun as well as a few others. "Well, we have free reign over what to choose." I looked over at him and saw him looking down. "What is it?"
"Look." He handed me two modules. "I've heard of these from the miners….this one is a Stasis Module." He handed me a little platform type attachment that had a sort of half-cylinder on the end of it. "Put it on your left forearm, the focus in the center of your palm." I slipped it over my arm and linked it to my RIG. Immediately, it came to life and shined blue.
"Wow, it's indescribable."
He handed me the next module. "This is a Kinesis Module. Put it in front of the Stasis."
I placed the next module on the platform and the Kinesis Mod lit up. "Ok, let's see if this works…" I aimed for the box on the desk and fired the Kinesis line, grabbing it and pulling it toward me. "Wow, this is insane. How do you know about these, John?"
"I've had to work with them before." He handed me one of the Plasma Cutters on the wall and a Rivet gun. "Let's go."

The service was good and charming. We enjoyed breakfast in our room. The location of the hotel was excellent. We feel we should have been told that the restaurant was closed on Sunday and Monday. We ate there on Tuesday and Wednesday. It was very good but somewhat overpriced. The bath in our room was too deep and difficult to get out of.
Lovely situation in an interesting area. Confusion re access to the hotel, not properly explained and being shouted at by the locals when trying to get access.
Completely perfect
Staffs are very well trained and welcomed warmly. Breakfast is more than what we did expect, excellent. Size of room is too small and need the bath tub.
Beautiful hotel, with attentive and friendly staff in a perfect situation on the harbour. We found it quiet and comfortable.
This was my/our thrid visit to the Hotel De Toiras. It is arguably one of the nicest hotels in the World and I have stayed at many of the best. The rooms are extremely comfortable, very clean and extremely well maintained. Being very small the service has to be brilliant and it is. The staff are extremely friendly. The hotel and its magnificent restaurant are hideously expensive even in the off season when we go. But my partner and I will continue to visit there every year as it is the most wonderful place in the world to unwind. Let's hope the recession ends soon, so that I won't notice the price!
We spent three fabulous days with Hotel De Toiras. Hotel kindly upgraded us from Delux room to a nice Suite. The staff were very helpful. Breakfast was perfect.
Picturesque setting and level of service.
Beautiful hotel with lovely food and excellent service in a very attractive harbour town Aircon in our room ineffective
the location, style and sheer luxury of the hotel including the excellent front of house service no
Its location to the quayside,shops and restaurants. Comfortable suite.Good breakfast.Quiet with the double glazing. Over priced garage (15 E per night!) which was difficult to get into. Receptionists need to be more welcoming and friendlier.
The hotel is well situated just of the quayside of St. Martin. The room was modern and clean. Our room overlooked the front and during the night and early morning it was noisy. Perhaps a room facing the back or the courtyard would have been better.
The location was perfect - this is the hotels main attraction. Check in staff cordial. The hotel had no atmosphere or ambiance, it was purely a place to stay while in St. Martins. No single rooms available, therefore having to pay for a double room for single occupant made it very very expensive. 110 euro per night for bed only - for a 3 star hotel.
Helpful staff, English spoken at main desk.
The port location is excellent. Staff are helpful and friendly. Best to book a room with a view of the port. No air conditioning in the rooms.
The wonderful accomadation, friendliness of the staff, and location. Very laid back but effecient.
Location and quirky decor We were meant to phone ahead to give out ETA, but forgot. When we got there no one answered the door to let us in and we had to phone and the getting was less than welcoming - after that it was fine
Our hosts are absolutely delightful people who made all the guests feel very welcome into their home. Mde de Beru is a wonderful cook providing interesting and very flavoursome food. The room is spacious and well appointed. The bathroom towels are getting a little tired and should be upgraded considering the quality of everything else.
Close to restaurants and bars. Good parking facilities in an area where it is difficult to park
A beautiful, welcoming and elegant stay. We had an amazingly bright, immaculate, large, well-appointed and comfortable room, the Loft, where we could relax in peace and enjoy the charming view. From there, a very short walk brings you to the pleasant, busy tourist center of the island to arrange outings, choose a restaurant, shop...or just feast on ice cream at La Martinière. Just an observation, really: While we were greeted warmly and had a lovely send-off, there was really no one available to get information from in the middle of our four-day stay. We were pretty much on our own, although they do have some tourist brochures and such available. Also, for our taste, the breakfasts at La Baronnie - Domaine Du Bien-Etre were too expensive and extensive...so we always ate in town. However, we noted that many of the guests did seem to enjoy their large, leisurely morning repasts there.
The staff were helpful and friendly. Having secure parking facilities a great benefit. A standard room with double bed was fine for me as a single occupant. However, for two people I imagine the room size might feel on the small side.
Very comfortable. Pleasant helpful staff. Very convenient location for walking into Old Port and town. Away from the traffic so quiet
location was excellent within easy walk of town but quiet room was quite small and finishes were basic
The room was modern and clean, the location was excellent. Where do we start, after staying in a Mecure before I know them to be a great hotel chain to use. However this was not my experience with this one. The rooms aircon was broken, not enough toilet paper and tea facilities were poor. Male resturant staff were rude, unhelpful and very snotty. We decided to eat in the hotel and the food was not value for money and quality was disappointing.
The fact that the hotel is very central to all amenities - enjoyed the breakfasts, although expensive (would book room only next time). Loved being by the harbour and the staff were very friendly. Will return again. Free parking excellent !! Breakfast too expensive.
geographical situation within the city was excellent
Good service, situation, close to everything, view No
Friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Clean and good location. It was a shame about the noise from the building works opposite. Also, the shower door seal leaked which could lead to long-term floor damage.
The hotel has recently had a makeover and everything is very clean and new with nice colours and fabrics in the room. It is in a great location 5 min from town centre but quiet in the evenings. Parking is good. Staff very friendly. Nowhere to sit outside unfortunately.
Pleasant, comfortable. Good breakfast.
The on site parking, the rooms are very nice and it has a great location, I have stayed there many times. The very surly woman receptionist, afternoon 15/7, who met us on arrival. Beyond the obligatory 'bonjour' there was not one word of welcome or pleasantness a big black mark. I know it is the french way, no wonder the Irish are considered so friendly but it was a pain in the you know where never the less.
Position of hotel was excellent. Staff pleasant but not very warm. No cable channels on TV. Breakfast far too expensive. Mini bar not working and contained just 4 small bottles of courvoisier
Situated by the Old Harbour and the Old Town of La Rochelle and at the same time a bit off side from it all.
Great central location. An elegant old building but the rooms didn't have any of the disadvantages you sometimes get in old buildings.
Fantastic location, friendly and efficient staff, lovely hotel Air conditioning was not effective enough
Central location and very quiet.
Excellent location in easy walking distance of everything yet quiet at night, parking available at a small supplement at the hotel, spacious room. Our room overlooked the car park/small garden, and over the harbour beyond, but most rooms overlook the internal courtyward - not so nice. Although modernised, room a bit tired - but the good much outweighted the bad.
Htl staff.
Needs a decent bar
Nice ambience - welcoming foyer - late night cup of tea - lovely courtyard for relaxed smoke - sitting area separate from foyer.
Staff were so helpful and polite.A lovely old French building and very near to a pleasant port I could not fault this hotel for what it oferred
Beautiful hotel in a great location, even the rez-de-chaussee room was really nice, modern amenities, hotel staff recommended a fabulous restaurant for dinner The breakfast was minimal for the price, it would have been better with some fresh fruits
Safe off-street parking for motorbike.
Grande chambre très agréable, dans un hôtel joliment décoré. Très bien situé, dans l'un des plus beaux endroits de l'Ile, on appréciera les nombreux commerces et restaurants à proximité. For the strangers, it's a french breakfast.
the breakfast was very big and very good, we can ask they bring us in the room for the same price. There is a beautiful view on the sea the pilows on the bed were not exactly clean
Superb helful friendly staff, room with sea view, close to harbour and bus station No bar
Beautiful room with spectacular views and comfortable bed, good shower. Very windy night and the windows were very draughty
Nice room decoration
This is a lovely hotel. The Staff were friendly & helpful and the rooms clean and beautifully designed. The view of the harbor a bonus.
Very nice hotel on a perfect location, a view over the sea and the harbor just around the corner.
It has recently been refurbished and very tastfully done. Cereal's at breakfast would be a good gesture. Also there was no baby high chair. Every thing was lovely, except the pool was too cold, We have stayed there before and noticed this in summer, a heated pool would be much better.
Adult only swimming pool / room & general hotel interior & exterior design / fantastic staff / location unbeatable Entering after hours was a little unclear
I could not fault anything at this hotel - it was a complete pleasure to stay there. Staff and facilities were excellent for the type of hotel which had a certain understated elegance.
Very good sevice. Goodlocation. Highj quality furnishings. Nice feel to the hotel.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. For eating out unless in the hotel you will need to travel to near-by towns
Proximity to town. Friendly staff and beautifully run hotel. Excellent breakfast
Extremely clean, very good facilities in the rooms, Staff very efficient A lovely hotel !
We were impressed with the courtesy of the staff. We were upgraded to a junior suite as same price as standard room. The room was spacious and well designed with nice wood floors, modern wallpaper and nice curtains. The separate WC from bathroom was also good and the shower/bath was very nice. We liked the idea of having two separate swimming pools - one for adults and another for families. We thought the breakfast was overpriced for basically a continental breakfast. The price should be more in the range of 8-10 Euro.
Lovely hotel, simple yet stylish decor and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Great location, about a two minute walk to the centre of town/harbour area. Breakfast was a bit overpriced at 13 euros each!!
we liked the situation , closeness to town. plumbing very noisy, very aware of other gusets using bathrooms and toilets.
location and staff the room smelt fusty on arrival and for the first few days
Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent Room. Restaurant was disappointing.
peace and quiet when we arrived we were taken to a room instead of a 'superior cottage' which I booked. Only when I asked about the cottage did the receptionist mention that they had changed our booking. It would of been curtious of them to explain the situation before taking us to a room without saying anything. The room however, was very comfortable with terrace.
Convenience, parking, good breakfast
Friendly staff, good location and excellent buffet breakfast. The mattress on our bed was far too hard, not good for either a bad back or a good night's sleep.
The close proximity of the hotel to the centre of La Rochelle and it's attractions, restaurants and shopping. We did not need to use the car at all. Breakfast was also better than normal continental fare. The aluminium roller shutters were noisy in even the slightest wind and became very noisy unless rolled up, when the windows were open, which was needed because our room was a little air-less.
Close to the harbour and restaurants The interior was much nicer than the exterior photograph suggests Nothing. We thoroughly enjoyed staying there
Very convenient for all areas of the town. Great to be able to park the car safely in their own car park and walk into town or the port area which were both only about 3 or 4 minutes walk away. The hotel was very comfortable, the facilities (shower products and hairdryer) were better than I had expected. N/A
The welcome, accomodation, breakfast
Thought that everyone was very friendly. The breakfast was good value for the money. The location was great.
Nice hotel in the old city. Very friendly people and godd parking facilty in the crowded center. Rooms to the streetside somewhat noisy due to the active nightlife. Leaving you two options: either go and party or ask for a room at the back of the hotel. We went for option two which was no problem.
Although the Hotel is 15mins walk from bus station it is quite central between bus station & train station to allow you to travel throughout the area. It is also not in the centre but close to it & the harbour area. It is quiet but within a short walk to the town centre/marina, restaurant area. I think it would be better if the breakfast was included in the price as 10euros is quite steep.
Clean,comfortable with friendly & efficient staff Nothing at all
We had a very friendly welcome and fouynd the room to be extremely comfortable. We liked the tasteful modern decor. Nothing
It was a modern clean hotel only five minutes walk from the port and one of my main reasons for choosing it was because it had parking facilities. I found the staff all very helpful and friendly and it was convenient to have free internet access in the lobby, which was always available. Manoeuvring in the underground car park was a bit of nightmare.
near to City bed very comfortable and veryconducive to matrimonal activity! overpriced as facilities limited i would suggest they have their prices
Modern spacious room and public areas. helpful staff
What a brilliant hotel, it exceeded my expectations, rooms were clean, very modern, nice firm bed, excellent facitlies.
Every aspect in hospitality was excellent.
very well appointed and modern hotel. staff very welcoming and friendly. very comfortable bed. bathroom super. breakfast choices good.
Very clean, new hotel with extremely friendly staff who all spoke fluent English
Everything a modern and contemporary hotel should be. The staff were particulary kind and helpful when we had an emergency having to return home early. Somewhat impersonal in appearance in the public area. Somewhere to sit outside would have been good. A bit far to walk to the centre of town when eating out in the evening.
Location and friendly staff, coupled eith high standard of cleanliness
The hotel was very good and the restaurant... would have liked some help with luggage on departure ny mother is 88 and I tweaked my bag lugging the suitcases around to the car.!
Yes, we liked this hotel. It's loceted very good.
The restaurant I didn't know abaut parking in this hotel
The location No
Spacious room and en suite. Nice comfortable bed. We were on the fifth floor behind the main hotel building, so it was quiet but we could still see the sea over the rooftops which was lovely. Swimming pool was nice and deep with amazingly comfortable seat shaped lilos. Perfectly located beside the harbour, very close to restaurants, the town and bus and train stations.
The location was super. Very close to the harbour and street entertainments at night. We enjoyed the poolside tables for reading etc. There was only one chair in the room - should be two. Breakfast poor value - no muesli, terrible machine coffee, the hot food was awful, marmalade always hidden away. In town, we bought a very good 3 course meal in the evening for less that we paid for the breakfast. Also, when we booked it was advertised as 13 euros, but we were charged 14 on departure.
Excellent location on the quayside. Polite & helpful staff. Sometimes noisy night club behind hotel.
Location was brilliant-very central but peaceful at the same time. Overlooking the port, close to the train station, aquarium, local amenities. Car rental on your doorstep. Staff very helpful.
the location was too expensive for the rooms offered which were very basic.
the location, in the middle of the centre
A basic hotel in a good location.
A spacious appartment in a central location Poor quality breakfast
Clean, comfortable hotel. Efficient helpful staff. Good parking
A beautiful building with lovely antique furniture, very close to old port and lots of restaurants, lovely ambience would stay here again
The lounge area was great, very lovely and cozy with the fireplace and the candles. The staff was friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was accommodating; we stayed in our room until well into the afternoon one day and they didn't mind. (Although there was no "do not disturb" sign to hang on our door!) The free wi-fi worked well, although Neuf Wi-Fi (a pay service) was the first network the computer always connected to! The breakfast was lacking in options for the price it cost. It would have been nice to have a spare roll of toilet paper in the bathroom, as there were four of us sharing it. There is a lack of outlets (you have to unplug a lamp or the TV to plug in your laptop, for example), and the equipment and decoration in the room was aging. This is not a four-star hotel.
Great location, one block from the market, 5' walk from bus station and 10' walk to the harbour. Room with kitchenette, nice small garden with a small sw.pool. Nice staff. Nice room, but maybe a refesh of curtains and carpets could give it another star up.
Upon eventual arrival there was a man playing a piano which created a romantic atmosphere. Views over roofs was enjoyable. The staff werent helpful. (see complaints) There was no 'kitchen area' as described on my reservation papers. I have never stayed at a hotel which has failed to provide room refreshments. Very dissapointing especially after our hot sweat trying to locate you in the first instance!
It was near the Airport and to the centre of La Rochelle.The staff were pleasent and helpful. There was little accomodation for people who had difficulty with French.We could not get any literature about tours etc in english although there was plenty in French.
excellent downtown location near all central services in la Rochelle, friendly helpful staff the kitchenette in the apratment was little more than a fride and a coffee maker, not suitable for cooking - space in the underground carpark was very restricted and quite difficult to get in and out on a daily basis
The location. I thought that this hotel was meant to be a 4* but it was definatly only a 2*.
Hotel staff were very helpful and friendly, buffet breakfast was wonderful and common areas of the property excellent
Location was superb. Good aces to the airport about 20 min by bus. lovely hotel.
Clean and room was very spacious! Good facilities in room. There was no car park space when we first arrived and we were informed that we needed to book before hand, but this is not available on the website.
very friendly staff breakfast good nice walk to restaurants balcony & sunloungers good
position, friendly staff ,
The fact that we could get a taxi to get out of there as soon as we arrived! Reception staff rude, family room was the smallest room we had ever stayed in, stuffy and hot, no airco, it stated that it's 10 minutes to town, yes, 10 minutes by taxi, not on foot. Cold and unwelcoming atmosphere. Nothing nearby, would never stay there again.
Location, staff, price, Town of La Rochelle was a good "find". Room size a little cozy by NA standards
Nice hotel with bit of old fashioned character right by the sea. We were given a sea view room although only booked a standard room. Good breakfast. Underground car park. 15 minute walk to restaurants through local park. Convenient to main roads. Friendly French reception and they spoke English better than my French! TV at reception a little noisy.
The view Separate toilet made for a restricted space, would have been better to incorporate it into the bathroom
Nice location Overhigh prices-super expensive brekfest
breakfast room / restaurant atmosphere was un relaxed.
The upgrade to a saeview,pleasent view and calmness of the hotel
We had a lovely room that overlooked the water. The patio was nice for reading under the umbrella
The nice location and view over the sea The WIFI system was poor
Great location. Walking distance to park and 2 restaurants / casino. Clean rooms and comfortable beds. Continental breakfast / buffet was also good. Free parking. Price was very reasonable. Rooms are standard (small) Eutopean style rooms.
The buffet breakfast was very good. The hotel was conveniently located and the car-parking was free.
the room was comfortable, .very convenient hotel for overnight stays not to be reccommended for holiday hotel on arrival and departure served by far the surliest receptionist rest of staff in contrast very helpful food very poor best to eat out
Friendliness of staff and professional approach. immediate response to problem with safe There should be a basin in with the toilet enabling to wash hands without having to walk around to bathroom, this would prevent spread of germs and inconvenience
Novotel standards, swimming pool, comfy beds, cleanliness of hotel, friendliness, bath in the room, enclosed private car park Can't think of any
Staff were friendly and attentive. Room was comfortable and well furnished. Location is excellent, close to the old town and harbour, nice and quiet in its parkland setting.
The staff were very friendly & accommodating. The location of the hotel was perfect & the hotel was excellent. no
Cleaniness, comfort, friendless, breakfast Meals were expensive in comparasion to the harbour
Very convenient to the city centre and attractions Swimming pool was too cold to be useful
The hotel is situated is situated in a quiet area beside a park and yet is within easy walking distance of the town centre and harbour.
The hotel room was fresh and clean and the location was great. Was given a smoked in room initially which should have been non smoking. Bar helping staff staff were sometimes inexperienced considering the price. Breakfast could have been included.
We found the hotel friendly, helpful and ideally situated such that I would have no hesitation about returning. The food and wines were excellent. Nothing
Basic hotel, but right on the harbour so excellent value.
Hotel was conveniently situated in the centre of St Martin. Staff were friendly and room was adequate. It was beyond the control of the hotel obviously, but each evening our sleep was disturbed between 1 and 2 am when very noisy people were going home - from night club? - considerable shouting and yelling took place.
Les Colonnes is a lovely hotel, right in the centre of the St Martin de Re. We had a room with a harbour view, which had a little balcony where you could sit and look at the harbour and busy (mainly pedestrain) street below - great for people watching! Noise from the busy street was not a problem as the window is really soundproof and you can't hear outside once it's shut. No aircon though - so this might not be ideal if it is too hot. In a great location, very clean and comfy. Loved it and wished we were there longer than 2 nights! Quite an epxensive choice for us.Didn't have food from hotel while we were there so can't comment on that.
Nice little Hotel, right on the spot. Temperature was around 25C.
Hotel in an excellant position - Ideal for the various boat trips, shops and a lovely harbour location together with all the street entertainment. Unfortunately there was an undesirable fishy smell in the lobby and lift areas which obviously eminates from the fish resteraunt next door.
Very helpful staff and excellent service. Good in-room facilities. Air conditioning a real bonus. Only limitation was a lack of a safe in reception large enough to take a laptop.
Very well placed, central hotel with plenty to see and do on the doorstep. Helpful staff, clean rooms (basic but comfortable), booked a triple room and got 2 interconnected doubles for same price which was good. Would book again for city break. Some rooms and shared areas looked dark and pokey.
the location was excellent..the room was quite .....a good hotel in a beautiful city,but not for a week room was basic...no wardrobe..compact if not small rooms
Location is the best we have ever tried.In the middle of everything.
Wonderful location. Great food area. Horrific "free" internet service.

Synopsis: The Wakefield twins never expected that spending spring break with their great-aunt and great-uncle in Walkersville, Kansas, would be so exciting. But Jessica and Elizabeth find out that small-town life can have its share of big adventures.
Their vacation gets off to a bad start when the local girls give them the cold shoulder. And Aunt Shirley and Uncle Herman won't let the twins out of their sight. But things pick up when the girls meet gorgeous identical twins, Alex and Brad Parker. Jessica thinks Alex may be the man of her dreams, but she can't get away from her overprotective aunt and uncle to find out. Then, Elizabeth makes an unexpected discovery about the Parker twins that could mean big trouble….
Come along to the country with Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield, and catch Spring Fever!
My thoughts: This was one of my favourite "super edition" Sweet Valley High books when I was growing up, it always gave me such a nice summery feeling (apparently I liked summer as a kid? as an adult it's one of my top 5 most hated things).
The basic premise of the book is that Jessica and Elizabeth take a vacation to visit their Great Aunt and Uncle who live in a small town in Kansas called Walkersville, oh and who of course are never again mentioned in the entire book series. The twins settle into sleepy town life and spend their days sleeping in, eating homemade pie, playing with kittens, and going for walks. I don't know about you guys but that sounds like a pretty perfect holiday to me. The only downside to life in Walkersville is town meangirl Annie-Sue Sawyer, who decides that she hates the twins and starts making their life difficult. Jessica and Elizabeth can't seem to figure out what she possibly could have against them. I have to say though, Jessica keeps wearing a fringed jacket that sounds pretty offensive so tbh I'm on team Annie-Sue in this situation.
A carnival comes to town, and the twins meet Alex – a handsome (ooh!) carnie (gross) who tends to the horses (cute). Jessica falls for him almost immediately (shock horror), and they are understandably excited to discover that Alex is also a twin! Jessica comes up with the bright idea that Elizabeth date Alex's twin brother Brad, despite Elizabeth already having a boyfriend back in Sweet Valley. Poor old Jeffrey French. I was quite shocked that straight-n-narrow Liz went along with this, and even started to have feelings for Brad (of course her morals caught up with her and she put an end to it pretty quickly). Jessica sneaks out every night to meet up with sexy horse wrangler Alex at the carnival, which results in her sleeping in every day and eventually ends up giving Aunt Shirley and Uncle Herman (lol) major anxiety. Clearly they've never lived with a teenager before.
Everything comes to a head when Jessica sneaks out one evening and Alex leaves her in charge of Midnight – the rough and ready horse he's trying to sell. Nasty old Annie-Sue comes along and decides that she wants to ride Midnight, because her father is buying him for her. Perfectly reasonable, except for the fact that Midnight is SKITTISH AF and takes off with Annie-Sue on his back. Jessica saves the day, and Annie-Sue is grateful – revealing that she's only been making Jessica's life difficult and blackmailing her for her lush bejeweled 80's headbands because she's jealous. Didn't see that coming!!! The girls make up and all is forgiven, although Jessica's secret shame of sneaking out at night has finally been revealed to Shirl n Herm in all the drama. It's nicely swept under the rug though, and in the end Jessica is permitted to go to the square dance with Alex.
In the meantime, Elizabeth has discovered that Alex does not have a twin and is actually a pretty awful human being who pretended to be two people in an attempt to date both twins at once. Of course Elizabeth chooses not to inform Jessica of this, and instead lets her to along to the dance with Alex despite him being a liar and a generally gross guy. Alls well that ends well though, and the story is wrapped up nicely with the girls getting a lovely send off from the town at the end of the square dance. Farewell Walkersville, it's time to head back to Sweet Valley!
I remember being obsessed with this cover when I was a kid. On re-reading it I'm mostly annoyed that although Jessica's gingham dress matches the outfit she wears to the square dance, ELIZABETH'S DOES NOT. She's supposed to be wearing a red and white checked shirt, but I guess that might have looked a bit too matchy matchy.
Rating: 8/10

Charley Hoffman finished a lot better than he started, closing with three straight birdies for a 1-under 71 that allowed him to catch Kevin Kisner for a share of the lead in the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Hoffman opened with two bad bunker shots and two bogeys, and his fourth bogey of the round dropped him four shots behind with four holes to play. He wound up in a tie with two solid shots and one big putt.
From the trampled rough left of the 18th fairway, slightly blocked by a tree, Hoffman chased a 7-iron up the firm turf of Bay Hill all the way to the fringe, 70 feet from the hole. He figured two putts and a par would leave him only one shot behind.
And then he holed...

The PLU code, or the price lookup number on the sticker can help you determine if the product is genetically modified, organic or produced with chemical fertilizers, fungicides or herbicides.
- A four-digit code beginning with a 3 or a 4 means the produce is probably conventionally grown. The last digits of the code represent the kind of the fruit or vegetable you are buying. For example, bananas are always labeled with the code of 4011.
- If there are five numbers, and the first is "8″, then the product is genetically modified. The label on genetically modified banana (GE-genetically engineered of GMO) would contain the numbers 84011.
- A five-digit number that starts with a 9 means the item is organic. Organic bananas are labeled with 94011.
The Environmental Protection Agency warns that the consumption of pesticides can lead to health problems such as "birth defects, nerve damage, cancer, and other effects that might occur over a long period of time." Children are especially at risk of harm from pesticides.
