    New Review – Tampa Airport Marriott – Perfect for Late Arrivals

    Since I arrived late in the evening with Edelweiss and had an early morning flight to Denver, I chose the Tampa Airport Marriott for its unbeatable convenience.Located directly inside the airport, it’s just a short walk: two floors up from baggage claim, a brief walk down a hallway — and you’re at the front desk. 🛎️ Check-In – Could Be Smoother The check-in process was a bit sluggish. It took some time for someone to show up, and once they did, the process still felt unnecessarily slow.That said, I did receive a few Marriott Bonvoy perks thanks to my…

    New Review – Marriott Tampa Westshore Hotel, Florida

    During my recent trip to Tampa, I stayed at another property from the Marriott chain – as always, booked via the official Marriott website with cashback.(How the cashback process works you will find under Guides) One clear advantage right up front:✅ Free parking!Not a given in Tampa, where many hotels charge extra fees for this. 🛎️ Check-In – Needs Improvement Unfortunately, the check-in experience was slow and unwelcoming. Despite no other guests being present, the front desk staff seemed more preoccupied with themselves than with me as a guest.Not a major issue – but definitely not…

    New Review Hotel Hilton – Hilton Niagara Falls

    🛎️ Booking For my weekend trip to Toronto, I wanted to include a visit to Niagara Falls. So, I decided to book a hotel with a Falls View, of course. I reserved a non-refundable rate through the Hilton app, choosing the most affordable option available: a King Guest Room with Falls View, since I was only staying one night. 📍 Location The hotel is accessible from Toronto’s airports by car or public transportation within two to three hours. However, I have to say that public transit options aren’t ideal – you’ll need to transfer a few times. Once you arrive…
