Travel Tuesday: Novotel Citygate Hong Kong Hotel Review
A couple of weeks ago, for the first time since 2019, my wife and I had a chance to return to Hong Kong. As these plans were coming together, I knew exactly where I wanted to stay: the Novotel Citygate Hong Kong. I’d actually stayed here twice before and was more than pleased with my…

Travel Tuesday: Hotel Vandivort Explorer Suite Review
No, your memory does not deceive you: I have reviewed Hotel Vandivort before — twice, in fact. However, with my wife and I recently celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary, we saw it fit to pay a visit to our local luxury hotel. This time around, however, we opted to try the King Explorer Suite. Additionally,…

Travel Tuesday: Conrad Indianapolis Hotel Review
Last week, after years and dozens of times driving through it, I finally had the chance to spend some time in Indianapolis, Indiana. What brought me to town was Gen Con — a gaming convention that I was covering for my other work. But, of course, this also gave me an opportunity to stay at…

Travel Tuesday: Home2 Suites Chicago McCormick Place Hotel Review
Last month, for the fourth year in a row, my wife and I headed up to the Windy City to attend C2E2. As you may recall, after previously staying downtown and shuttling or driving in to the convention center, we decided to try staying at McCormick Place itself. Having tried the Hyatt Regency last time,…

Travel Tuesday: Motel 6 – Anaheim, CA Convention Center Review
A couple of weeks ago, I shared a look at the La Quintas we stopped at as my wife, our dog Rigby, and I made our way to California. So, today, I figured I’d talk about where we stayed once we made it to our destination: the Motel 6 near the Anaheim Convention Center. Truth…

Travel Tuesday: A Tale of Two (or Three) La Quintas
Last month, my wife and I set off on a road trip to California. A major reason why we choose to drive this time instead of fly was so that we could more easily travel with our dog, Rigby, who’s still getting used to life with us. With her in tow, we decided to not…

Travel Tuesday: Tru by Hilton Hotel Review (Wichita, Kansas)
Over the past several months now, I’ve reviewed a number of hotel properties for my Travel Tuesday series. And while these locations have technically spanned the country, they’ve definitely over-indexed for Las Vegas, Nevada. Well, today, I’m changing things up a bit by looking at a hotel located in middle America — like, near literally…

Travel Tuesday: Hyatt Regency McCormick Place (Chicago) Hotel Review
For the past three years, my wife and I have been traveling to Chicago to cover C2E2. Before you ask, that stands for “Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo” and, while we have attended in 2020, 2021, and now 2022, the times of year have been very different, with the initial taking place in February, the…

It’s time for another entry into my Las Vegas Content Bonanza™, which will close out the trio of hotels we stayed at on our most recent visit. Today, our travels will take us to an iconic hotel with one of the most recognizable names in Vegas: The MGM Grand. This is a property I’ve walked…

Travel Tuesday: Excalibur Hotel Room Review
Funny story: although my wife and I got married at the Excalibur in Las Vegas, we never actually stayed there. So, when we were looking for a cheap place to stay as part of our latest Vegas trip, we decided to finally give the place a shot — despite the fact that the chapel where…

You’re not going to believe this but, recently, my wife and I spent more time in Las Vegas. Having returned, it’s now time to continue my ongoing Las Vegas Content Bonanza™.

Travel Tuesday: Aparthotel Adagio Serris (Hipark) Hotel Review
It’s now been a couple of years since I started doing these Travel Tuesday columns, which have now included a number of hotel reviews. Naturally, as a result, when I stay at hotels these days, I know pretty much from the jump that I’ll be writing a review about it. Yet, I realized that there’s…
