    🍷 Hotel Review: Wine-Inspired Boutique Comfort at Autograph Collection, Tampa

    23/07/2025 / No Comments

    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…

    New Review Hilton – Hilton Toronto (King Sky View Room)

    13/07/2025 / No Comments

    🛎️ Booking For the second night of my Toronto trip, I chose the Hilton Toronto Downtown. I booked a flexible rate, mainly because the price was great and I wanted to keep my options open – I was also considering the InterContinental. Since I was only staying for one night, I went with the most affordable option: a King Guest Room. 📍 Location The hotel is reachable from Toronto Pearson International Airport in about an hour, whether you’re driving or taking public transport. For exploring the city, the location is ideal – both the subway and…

    New Review – Moxy Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP)

    13/07/2025 / No Comments

    📍 Location & Access – Convenient and Straightforward The Moxy Milan Malpensa Airport is located just across from Terminal 2 – making it a top choice if you’re arriving late or flying out early. If you land at Terminal 1, no worries: the free airport shuttle runs every 15 minutes (and every 45 minutes at night until 1 AM), and the ride takes under 10 minutes. 🚌 From the shuttle stop, it’s just a short walk across the intersection and you’ll see the hotel right in front of you. I even asked for directions through the Marriott app, and they replied quickly…

    🏨 Hotel Review – DoubleTree by Hilton, Nice (France)

    02/07/2025 / No Comments

    As someone who spends a lot of time in hotels, I know how important it is for a stay to be both relaxing and hassle-free. The DoubleTree by Hilton in Nice delivered exactly that. From the warm, genuine welcome at check-in to the signature chocolate chip cookie handed out upon arrival – a comforting gesture that felt especially appreciated after a late-evening arrival – everything was off to a good start. 📍 Location & Surroundings The hotel enjoys a prime location right next to Nice’s main train station (Gare de Nice-Ville). The beach is only a 10-minute…

    ✈️ Lounge Review: Admirals Club – Honolulu (HNL)

    01/07/2025 / No Comments

    If you’re flying through Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) in Honolulu and looking for a quiet spot to relax, get some work done, or enjoy a quick snack, the Admirals Club might be just what you need. Here’s my full review after a recent visit. 📍 Location & Access The Admirals Club is located near Gate C in Terminal 2 — a central area of the airport that’s easy to reach after passing through security. Signage is clear, and the lounge is easy to find, especially if you’re flying with American Airlines or one of its Oneworld…

    Mileage Run Madness in Poland: 6 Legs, 4 Cities, 12 Hours – and Plenty of Points!

    23/05/2025 / No Comments

    For frequent flyers chasing status—whether Star Alliance Gold or Miles & More Frequent Traveller—it’s not always about long-haul business class flights. Sometimes, a well-planned weekend mileage run with cheap domestic flights can yield crucial qualifying points. The Experiment I tested this with LOT Polish Airlines: 6 domestic flights in one day, each booked separately as one-ways to maximize points and enjoy lounge access between flights. Why Book One-Ways? The Route (All from/to Warsaw – WAW) All flights took place in May with a tight schedule from early morning to evening.…

    New Review – Hotel Telegraaf an Autograph Collection, Tallinn (TLL)

    13/03/2025 / No Comments

    This booking was made using a free night certificate from Marriott, which you receive after staying 50, 75, or 100 nights. This meant the stay was complimentary, and I also opted for a suite upgrade, which is available after 50 nights. I was fortunate to have both the room and upgrade confirmed promptly. However, whether I would pay the regular price for this stay is discussed in this review. It’s worth noting that hotel prices in Tallinn, like elsewhere, can vary significantly depending on the season and local events. Location…
