Hotel Review- Inverness: Inverglen Guest House
Despite how often I travel, I very rarely find the opportunity to stay in a B&B. Inverness, for some reason, seemed to have more B&Bs than hotels! Somewhere between an Airbnb and a hotel, B&Bs- or guest houses- are typically singular houses with each room being rented out to different guests. An on call host…

Hotel Review: Volkshotel- Amsterdam
Having saved $300 by flying home out of Amsterdam rather than Cologne, I found myself in the unfortunate position of learning exactly how pricey Amsterdam hotels are. That’s what I get for trying to be clever! Although a little distant from city center, Volkshotel was relatively inexpensive and the convenient metro station located immediately outside…

Hotel Review: The Grand Brighton
Although I’m typically a pretty frugal traveler and no stranger to the budget friendly hostel option, these days I like to treat myself from time to time while traveling. Since I was only staying in Brighton for one night, I knew I wanted to stay beach front- and where better than The Grand Brighton! The…

Hotel Review: hub by Premier Inn London City Bank
When visiting London, finding a cheap hotel room can be a challenge. On the tail end of a long trip, funds were tight and I thought I’d give the hub by Premier Inn a go! The hub is a subset of Premier Inn that focuses on being more technologically friendly to make up for its…

Hotel Review- Glasgow: Point A Hotel Glasgow
I wasn’t expecting much out of my visit to Glasgow- I’d scheduled so many lengthy day tours out of the city that I wasn’t expecting to spend much time in a hotel. With that in mind, I went for the inexpensive Point A Hotel Glasgow, and was delighted by my experience. The hotel is about…

Hotel Review: Costa Rica- Auténtico Hotel
Although San Jose isn’t necessarily the main draw to visit Costa Rica, it is the country’s capital so odds are good that the majority of visitors will be making their way through the city at some point. The choices of hotels can be overwhelming, but since I was taking a tour of the country I…

Historic Hotels in Glacier National Park
As one of America’s oldest established National Parks, Glacier boasts four different historic hotels (and several rustic chalets)- all built before 1930! Many of these hotels were built by the Great Northern Railway, which heavily advertised Glacier National Park as a tourism destination and built rail stations on both the East and West side of…

Hotel Review: Lisbon- H10 Duque de Loulé
In Lisbon, there’s no shortage of hotels of all shapes and sizes. I was a little overwhelmed by my choices, and when recommended the H10 Duque de Loulé, I found myself booking the hotel almost entirely due to its stunning balcony and blue-tiled interior. Since this hotel was my first stop after a long plane…

Hotel Review: York- Principal York
On our visit to York, we prioritized convenience and booked a stay at the Principal York hotel. Only a few steps away from the train station, it was super easy to get to and from the hotel with our bags. The hotel fits right in with the local atmosphere with its beautiful late-Victorian architecture. After…

Hotel Review: Resorts World Las Vegas
I’ll be honest; I’d never heard of this hotel before I was put up here for a few nights during a work conference. Resorts World was opened in 2021, and was the first resort to be completed on the Strip in over a decade. Located on the North end of the Las Vegas Strip, it…
