    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…

    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.

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…

For exploring the city, the location is ideal – both the subway and…
