			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.angeltraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/EmpireHotel.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-201" title="EmpireHotel" src="http://www.angeltraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/EmpireHotel-150x150.jpg" alt="Empire Hotel Hong Kong" width="135" height="135" /></a>We stayed at the <span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Empire Hotel</strong></span> after our Allegra Cruise from Singapore and that finished in Hong Kong and we caught a taxi from the Cruise Terminal which isn't very far away but with luggage you need one.  This hotel is in the middle of town near all the shopping and we walked from there everywhere which to me was a big plus.  It is located at 62 Kimberley Road.</p>
<p>The room was OK although a little on the small side but clean.  We were only staying two nights and we didn't have breakfast included or eat at the restaurant so I cant comment on that.  We ate most of our meals at<span style="color: #ff9900;"> <strong>Knotsford Terrace</strong></span> which was a short walk away.  There were a few good shops I liked in that complex and some good eateries which were reasonably priced.</p>
<p>We also walked down to the harbor and caught the <strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">Star Ferry</span></strong> across the harbor which was a nice experience and I would recommend it.  Shopping of course is good in Hong Kong and this hotel is walking distance from the main shopping district.</p>
<p>There is an <strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">Airport Express</span></strong> stop (free bus that takes you to the train station) across the road from the hotel and I recommend that you use this to get to the airport as you can check your luggage in at the train stop all the way through, so you don't have to check them again at the airport.   I loved the train experience and would use it again rather than a taxi or shuttle as I have done before.<a href="http://www.angeltraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/EmpireHotel1.jpg"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-202 alignright" title="EmpireHotel1" src="http://www.angeltraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/EmpireHotel1-150x150.jpg" alt="Empire Hotel Bathroom" width="135" height="135" /></a></p>
<p>This hotel is not 'flash' but if you are looking for a convenient location then this one is quite satisfactory.  If you are staying a week then I would look for something a little better.  There are a lot of choices in Hong Kong for hotels at different qualities and prices to suit your needs.  Just remember to stay near the shopping or the harbor or both because to me that makes Hong Kong so special.</p>
<p>Liked:  Convenient location<br />
Disliked:  Smallish room<br />
Tip:  Take the Airport Express Bus to and from the airport</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.angeltraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/MuriBeachClubHotel2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-175" title="MuriBeachClubHotel2" src="http://www.angeltraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/MuriBeachClubHotel2-150x150.jpg" alt="Muri Beach Club Hotel" width="150" height="150" /></a>This is a fairly new hotel in <span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>Muri Beach, Rarotonga</strong></span> in the Cook Islands which has direct access to the beach and lagoon.  It is an adults only hotel (18 years or older).  We stayed there in November 2009 and the weather was great around 78F or 26C each day with only one and half days of rain out of the ten.</p>
<p>The garden room that we had was at the back of the resort but as the pool is in the center it was central to it, the main entrance and small shop and only a few more steps to the restaurant.  A tropical breakfast was included in the room rate.</p>
<p>The restaurant, called <strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">The Point</span></strong>, serves 3 meals a day and bar snacks and of course cocktails (check out the happy hour).  They have theme nights like the Grill and Seafood night which we enjoyed.  The food overall is a little expensive but you will have to pay similar at other resorts.  The meals were all good but can depend on the chef and there is entertainment at dinner times which was nice.</p>
<p>The garden rooms are large and the maid come in twice a day to make up the room and also replace towels and to turn down the bed in the early evening.  Each unit has its own small balcony.</p>
<p>They have an internet area where you can log on for free but it is slow to load but OK for emailing home.  The staff are friendly and helpful.  We had a problem with the safe in the room which was fixed in an hour.</p>
<p>I would <strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">recommend this hotel</span></strong> especially if you want a kids free experience.  I must admit it was quieter without children splashing in the pool and at meal times.  I would definitely stay there again and feel it would be a perfect hotel for a honeymoon.</p>
<p>Liked:  An adult experience was very relaxing and quiet<br />
Disliked:  Can't think of anything<br />
Tip:  Hire a car or bike to get around the island</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.angeltraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/MercureRome.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-84" title="MercureRome" src="http://www.angeltraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/MercureRome-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>This is my hotel travel review of the <strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">Mercure Roma Delta Colosseo</span></strong> is on Via Labicana in Rome, Italy.   The hotel has a great location close to the Colosseum but the room I had (a single) was the smallest I encountered on my trip around Italy, and in fact it was even smaller than the  star hotel I once stayed in at New York.   If you dropped the soap you had to step out and pick it up and step back in.  Washing my hair was difficult.</p>
<p>I was there 4 nights so it did matter more to me than if I had been only staying overnight.  I had breakfast included in the charge which was a buffet and this was quite sufficient but I didn't eat in the restaurant at other times.  I did go to a small restaurant nearby, about a street away, though which was pleasant.  There is a food mart a few blocks away but this is walkable.</p>
<p>The sullen Manager added to the overall dissatisfaction with the hotel so I hope he has moved on by now.  I must admit though the other staff though, besides the Manager,  were polite and tried to be helpful.  The experience was not all bad and the hotel had the bonus of the view of the Colosseum from the roof.   I hope you found this hotel travel review to be useful to you and know that is my own unbiased opinion of the hotel as I experienced it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.angeltraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/SingaporeHotel.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-63" title="SingaporeHotel" src="http://www.angeltraveler.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/SingaporeHotel-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>We arrived at the <strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">Swissotel on Merchant Road</span></strong> at night by taxi after the driver took us around the block a few times trying to find the entrance.  My first impression was that it was very nice with a good sized room.  We waited for our luggage to arrive and then went for a walk.  We had a nice view from our window of the river.</p>
<p>The hotel is located by the <strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">Singapore River</span></strong> at <span style="color: #000000;">Clark Quay</span> with lots of restaurants and bars and there were a lot of people about so it felt quite safe to be walking around so late at night and it looks lovely with all the lights and the lanterns.   I like to be located centrally and this hotel has a great location.</p>
<p>The next morning we had breakfast at the hotel overlooking the river which was very nice and the breakfast itself had a good variety in the buffet and then we went shopping (hey you have to shop when in Singapore).</p>
<p>We didn't have enough time to explore the <strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">Clarke Quay</span></strong> area properly because we were on our way to Bintan Island but I would definitely stay in this hotel again.  Stayed at this hotel in November 2007.</p>
<p>Liked:  Big room and tastefully done<br />
Disliked:  Cant think of anything<br />
Tip:  Get a room deal with breakfast included</p>
