Home – Hotel Wagner

This was a really good choice. And that is not always easy if you select your hotel based one some reviews an photos. Not only is the hotel located conveniently close to an S-Bahn station, yet still far off the streets to be in a quite place, but the Hotel itself is really nice. The house is a little bit older an the hotel is located in a newly renovated floor. So you get all the modern comfort, but you can live in an individual Read More +

No Reservation? – Garni am Hofenmarkt

After traveling for some weeks now, the daily or bi-daily routine of a hotel checkin was interrupted. Not sure, whether I was a the right place, I heard in astonishment, that the hotel staff at the reception had not heard of my arrival, which I booked some months ago. Luckily, this was just a missing printout from the online booking agency I used and I finally got my room. The hotel is located in the middle of the pedestrian zone, and hence its a quite Read More +

An Old Home – AHA Hotel

The AHA Hotel surprised me with a really large and nice room. Not only is there plenty of space in the bedroom, but apart from a bath there is also a small kitchen and the entire room could really serve as a small flat. The view from my little balcony into the backyard is also very nice and quite a bit of a contrast, when you take into account the front side of the hotel, which is rather a – lets say – regular street Read More +

Lovely – Hotel Central

My first place to stay on my Germany tour is a small, but nice Hotel at the edge of the pedestrian zone at Bamberg. From the entrance Hotel Central, one merely has to walk around the building and one is in the middle of the old town of Bamberg. But it’s not only a good starting point for explorations as a pedestrian. There is also a central bus station nearby, which offers all possible connections and for unscheduled trips, the taxi stop is right in Read More +

Back at Riverside Inn

When I looked for a hotel in or around “Yosemite National Park” on hotels.com, I decided to stay at the “Riverside Inn” as it looked quite ok. When I finally arrived there in full darkness – surprise – the place looked very familiar. When I was visiting Yosemite for the first time some 6 years ago, I struggled to find a place to stay and finally found that small motel a bit outside the park. Now intuition or was it actually my background memory, which Read More +

Disney Land at Las Vegas – Le Paris

Well, it is kind of common know ledge, that Las Vegas is a Disney Land for adults. Seeing it, is though a bit special anyway. However, also in this place there are definitively to many people to really enjoy it. The only thing you had not to queue was at the slot machines and game tables in the casinos. For eating or getting a ticket for one of the shows, queues built up quite easily. For me this was anyway only a short rest on Read More +

Before Zion – Super 8 Hurricane

Without not too many days left of my holiday, I had to start some planning and such I tried to go West a bit today. I therefore searched for a place to stay near the Zion National Park, such that I can start exploring it early in the morning. Thanks to hotels.com, which I used in the past days to find a location to stay, searching was easy and I found a pleasant room.

Lucky – Howard Johnson

After arriving at the “Capitol Reef National Park” and browsing through the visitor center, I decided to stay for two nights, in order to have enough time to explore this place. But where? As I had no phone connection or other internet access in the part, I drove towards Torrey and pulled out on the first gas station a bit outside the town, assuming this place should be fine for some kind of a connection. Indeed it was. Before I actually turned on the data Read More +

Everyone at Moab – Best Western

Looks like everyone wants to be at Moab, near the Arches National Park, this time of the year. At least the hotels are fully booked. I had to try in several places to get a bed for two nights and the prices where exorbitant at all three places. I actually ended up in calling my credit card company to check on my limit.
