    New Review – Radisson Blue Lissabon (LIS)

    22/10/2025 / No Comments

    For a short stay in Lisbon, I chose the Radisson Blu Lisbon, mainly because of its convenient location close to the airport. I was also curious to see how my Radisson VIP status would be recognized here. Whether the stay was worth it – you’ll find out in this review! 📍 Booking & Location As always, I booked directly through the Radisson app, using the option “fewer points, more discount.” That paid off – the rate was unbeatable compared to other booking sites. Just before my arrival, prices went up significantly, so I was glad I had…

    For a quick overnight stay in Dubai, I decided to try something new and booked the DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai Al Jadaf. With the endless options in Dubai, it can be hard to choose the right hotel, but after reading a few reviews, this one caught my attention. And spoiler alert – it turned out to be the right choice! 📍 Location & Accessibility: Central and Easy to Reach The location was perfect for my needs: it was just a 15-minute drive from the airport, which is great for Dubai. The price was also very…

    New Review – Intercity Berlin Airport Hotel (BER)

    30/07/2025 / No Comments

    Berlin Airport has a few airport hotels, but only two are truly within walking distance: the Steigenberger Airport Hotel(👉 Review here) and the IntercityHotel Berlin Airport. That’s exactly why I decided to spend one night at the IntercityHotel – to see how it compares. 📍 Location As mentioned, the location is top-notch. The IntercityHotel is just a few minutes’ walk from the terminal, right next to the Steigenberger. This is no coincidence, as both hotels belong to the same hotel group. For those who prioritize short walking distances, that’s already a big win. ✅ 🛎️ Check-in I wasn’t…

    New Review: SpringHill Suites Denver Downtown

    24/07/2025 / No Comments

    After two stylish nights at The Art Hotel Denver, it was time for a change of scenery. I had two main reasons for switching hotels: First, I wanted to stay closer to Ball Arena (formerly Pepsi Center) to catch a hockey game; second, I wanted to explore a new property and earn some Marriott Bonvoy points. As always, I booked directly via the Marriott website to make the most of my Elite status benefits. 🛎️ Check-In – Friendly, Despite Ongoing Renovations at that time When I arrived, it was clear that renovations were in full swing. Parts of the…

Its location was ideal for my plans, and thanks to booking through American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR), I enjoyed a range of premium benefits that made the experience even more rewarding. 🎨 First Impressions –…

    New Review – Tampa Airport Marriott – Perfect for Late Arrivals

    24/07/2025 / No Comments

    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

    24/07/2025 / No Comments

    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…

    This Marriott Autograph Collection hotel is located in one of the most intriguing neighborhoods in Tampa — ideal for food lovers, wine enthusiasts, and travelers who appreciate a hotel with personality. As usual, I booked directly through Marriott, even though Autograph Collection properties typically offer limited status benefits for Bonvoy members. 🛎️ Check-In – Smooth and Sophisticated Check-in was quick and seamless — everything was already prepared when I arrived. One of the standout touches was the wine tasting offered during check-in. Guests are invited to choose from a small curated selection, and once you’ve picked your favorite, you’re given…

    New Review Hotel Hilton – Hilton Niagara Falls

    13/07/2025 / No Comments

    🛎️ 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…
