Accommodation reviews for USA

DoubleTree Boston Downtown is a bland hotel in all aspects. The lobby and the bar could be in any other hotel, the staff is polite but impersonal, and the rooms have all amenities but nothing special. This can be also thought as an asset, you are not paying extra for any bells and whistles that you ... More >

The name "Holiday Inn" creates a mental image of a worn-out hotel with ugly wall to wall carpets and generic feel of the previous decade. Holiday Inn Bay Bridge Emeryville is not an exception.

Before getting too negative, let's list the perks of the hotel: big rooms, magnificent views to San Fran... More >

Hotel Marlowe is located on a prime spot on Charles River basin, next to the Science Museum. The hotel is marketed as a design boutique hotel, as all Kimpton hotels, but for an European the hotel is too bland to be a design or a boutique hotel.

Hotel Triton claims to be a groovy hotel, but despite the funky looking tables and cupboard, I did not see much of grooviness in the actual room. The rooms have been renovated a few years ago, and they start to show some aging already. The design elements are just attached on the surface and otherwi... More >

The rooms are big and clean, the bed is big and comfy (not too soft) and the hotel offers free broanband Internet connection. And all this less than $100. I have to admit that it was a special offer and th... More >

Located on a small islet -- Brickell Key -- in front of Miami downtown, Mandarin Oriental Miami is both a business hotel and a secluded oasis. All this combined with big, airy rooms and world-class service makes the hotel a good base for exploring Miami and relaxing.

The rooms are well-appointed,... More >
