delicious nights is my favorite scent. I have purchased every scent she(DK) ever put out and this is my most favorite. I have a extra large perfume tray on my dresser and everyone in my household always helps themselves to this one. When I run out I have to use Red Delicious that then next best scent.
I purchased this DKNY scent with all my other DKNY favorite because I'd never seen this one before...unfortunately it didn't smell like any of the other ones. It wasn't as floral and fresh as all the others. It's ok..I'm not going to send i back because it's not worth the shipping or restocking fee but it's not my favorite.

DKNY Delicious Night has been my favorite fragrance for years but was discontinued by the manufacturer. I was so excited to find it online at such a reasonable price. I always get complimented on it.
I smelled this perfume awhile ago from a friend of mine and though i'm a guy (who mostly wears women perfumes) i got crazy with it. I've just purchased it from Fragrancenet and i'm really happy. When you smell this perfume it makes you travel in exotic places by its spicy note. It's intense & so beautiful and perfect for nighttime but sadly not lasting long, at least on my skin. The good thing is like most perfumes stays on the skin like a spicy powder. No matter what this is one of my most favorite spicy perfumes and you should try it on..
DKNY Delicious Night is an absolutely gorgeous fragrance! Every time I wear it, I get at least a few people saying how nice I smell or asking me what perfume I'm wearing. I'm extrememly flattered that my friends have started saying it's my signature scent! Love it so much!

I am a bit of a perfume adict, so I bought this on a whim. I love all kinds of perfume, and this one will be in my rotation. Spicy with a hint of fruit.

Got this when it first came out and feel in love with it. Went to get it as a Christmas present this year (2010) and couldn't find it. Please don't tell me that they quit making it.

i have a batch that is fermenting away at 76 degrees, i really dont have anyway of lowering it this time, should i expect off flavors?
You'll probably be OK. Notty gets really funky in the eighties..... My fermentation refridge went up last summer and I had to toss a batch.
you'll probably get some serious esters from notty at those temps, but it'll still be beer. When I've used notty and couldn't keep the temps down it got pretty banana-y. Good luck, though!
Is that ambient temp or the temp of the wort? Either way, that is getting up there. It shouldnt ruin the beer, but I would bet you will notice it.
[1] Get a plastic container... one of those ones from Wal-Mart that you can store clothes etc in. ($5)
[2] Add carboy, water, and either ice or small plastic bottles filled with water and frozen.
Under $10 and it will help.

room temp is 70 wort is 76.
its 15 gallons in 3 better bottles, i just put all 3 of them in a giant cooler filled with cold well water.
it should cool pretty fast, then i will maintain it with frozen water bottles.
do you think the 24 hours at 76 degrees will cause off flavors?
I think that most ester production takes place over the first 3 or so days, so 24 hours of high temps will likely produce some, but not an overwhelming amount of esters.
Also, I think that cooling down the beer after fermentation starts could stress the yeast. Just keep an eye on it once you get it cooled, you may have to give it a little swirl to wake up the beasties if you drop the temp too far.
at what temp should i worry about stressing the yeast?
Do the esters have a particular smell?
I am not an expert but 2 degrees doesnt sound like a lot to me. Not enough to shock the yeast I dont think.

Rep. Mike Pence Suggests That The U.S. Return To The Gold Standard
"Rep. Mike Pence Suggests That The U.S. Return To The Gold Standard"
Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), a top House Republican and possible 2012 presidential contender, gave a speech at the Detroit Economic Club this afternoon outlining his "prescription for a fresh start for the American economy." The Detroit Economic Club is a "popular venue for candidates testing the presidential campaign waters," and Pence is "working hard to cultivate support among the fiscal conservatives that are driving the tea party."
The first item of Pence's five-point plan for the economy is a "sound monetary policy." Pence elaborated that he believes a return to the gold standard could create such a policy:
PENCE: Before I move on, I'd like to note, in the midst of all that's happened recently — massive borrowing and spending, QE2 — a debate has started anew over an anchor to our global monetary system. My dear friend, the late Jack Kemp, probably would have urged me to adopt the gold standard, right here and now in Detroit. Robert Zoellick, the president of the World Bank, encouraged that we rethink the international currency system including the role of gold, and I agree. I think the time has come to have a debate over gold, and the proper role it should play in our nations monetary affairs. A pro-growth agenda begins with sound monetary policy.
Currently, the global financial system does not assign any value to gold, and the U.S. Federal Reserve is not required to tie the value of the dollar to anything. A return to the gold standard, which would tie the value of the U.S. dollar to the value of gold, is a fringe economic position that could lead to a drastic reduction in prices. "Very few economists think this would be a good idea," Paul Krugman has noted. It would prohibit the government from adjusting interest rates, which it often does based on the health of the economy — instead everything would be tied to the value of gold.
The U.S. abandoned this policy in 1971, and as Krugman notes: "Since then the price of gold has increased roughly tenfold, while consumer prices have increased about 250 percent. If we had tried to keep the price of gold from rising, this would have required a massive decline in the prices of practically everything else — deflation on a scale not seen since the Depression. This doesn't sound like a particularly good idea."
Moreover, as Matthew Yglesias has observed, the idea of the enforcing a gold standard doesn't exactly fit into the Tea Party's free-market ethos. As none other than Milton Friedman wrote: "I think those people who say they believe in a gold standard are fundamentally being very anti-libertarian because what they mean by a gold standard is a governmentally fixed price for gold."
Returning to the gold standard wasn't the only far-right economic proposal Pence offered in his speech. The Huffington Post's Amanda Terkel details Pence's call for the elimination of the U.S. tax code in favor of a "flat tax."

You might notice that China and Gina, two sea lions at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo, have a little extra kick in their waddle these days. They are parents of a new sea lion pup.
However, the pup does not have a name yet. The general public has a chance to come up with the name.
The gender of the pup, which was born June 3, is not known at this time.
It weight about 14.5 pounds at birth.
The pup is now on display at Owen's Sea Lion Pavilion. Name submissions will be accepted there through Sunday June 17. A panel of zookeepers who care for the sea lions will choose the name. The winning name will be announced July 10.
The person who submits the winning name will receive a unique zoo & aquarium gift bag. The winner will also have an opportunity to interact with the sea lions with a zookeeper during a regular training session.
If the winning name has multiple entries, a random drawing will determine the winner.

Equal Opportunity for LGBT Employees Could Make Its Way Back to ExxonMobil
March 23, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Paul Guequierre, HRC Staff
After a 13-year-long fight by the LGBT community, fairness could be on its way back to ExxonMobil. Yesterday, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rejected the oil company's request to block a shareholder resolution to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the its equal employment opportunity (EEO) policy.
The struggle for equality by ExxonMobil's LGBT employees goes back to 1999, and even longer for the employees of Exxon Corp. That year, Exxon Corp. acquired Mobil Corp. Prior to the merger, LGBT employees of Mobil were protected by a non-discrimination policy that covered sexual orientation and the company offered health benefits to domestic partners of its employees. Exxon's employees weren't as fortunate, and Mobil's LGBT employees would soon see the clock rolled back on their rights. They've been fighting to get them back ever since.
Beginning in 1999, the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, along with other groups such as the New York City Pension Funds, has filed a resolution to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the list of protected categories in the company's EEO policy. In 2011, the shareholder proposal garnered significant support, receiving votes representing over 500 million shares with a market value of more than $42.4 billion and yesterday the SEC cleared a path to progress by rejecting the ExxonMobil's request to block the resolution. The resolution was proposed by New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and will be voted on by shareholders at the annual shareholders meeting on May 30.
ExxonMobil received a score of -25 On HRC's Corporate Equality Index, while competitors Chevron, BP, Shell, and Spectra all received scores of 85 or higher. As of 2012, 85 % of Fortune 500 companies include sexual orientation in their EEO policy and 50% include gender identity.

Location was perfect for getting around London .The room was well laid out and bed was especially comfortable followed by a superb breakfast next day a lovely overnight stay will be back again.
Room Breakfast
No free wifi
Average resto, bar
Room was clean and bathroom was too, like that the shower curtain was white and clean!. Non stop checkout very convenient. Hotel interiors need renovation but the hotel was exceptionally clean so I wasn't too bothered by it. Front desk and concierge great.
Hotel interiors are dated and need refurbishment. Breakfast was crowded with a long line waiting to come in each morning. Standard of breakfast selection poor. Staff seem to be poorly trained or neglecting the basics of table services as cutlery was missing from the table and not replaced. My egg white omelette wasn't good at all could make better at home. Staff at the hot breakfast station should receive further training on customer service, they were shocking. Had to find wait staff to ask for coffee and find cutlery. In saying this all staff were pleasant and helpful when they did assist.
Fast and reliable wifi for work, the location is great and everything works with pleasant staff.
It has not be refurbished for a while, they have started updating the rooms, but they are a little dated.
Food, comfortable rooms, courteous staff, cleanliness and excellent location
Took Heathros express to Padington Station and the hotel was a walking distance.
Room too small
Friendliness of hotel staff.
Hotel charges for late check out .. even if it's for a hour.
Hotel is very elegant. Room was beautifully decorated, large, spacious, with an excellent bed. We used the open lounge area for our meetings, which is great, and have used private meeting rooms in the past, which are also excellent - an extremely good business hotel.
Despite a beautiful and elegant room, there are no robes / slippers, and the toiletries are a joke! Many budget hotels do much better in this regard. Also, paying what we do, why in this day and age, is WiFi not free?? That is ridiculous for a so-called quality hotel...
where it was
old fashioned
Everything is OK
wifi is not free and it is expensive
A great hotel at a great location. The Duty Manager Neil Peters was exceptionally professional and helpful. The hotel is indeed highly recommended!
Staff Room connfort Location
Room wifi not much working TV channels not interesting
Nice location, spacious and clean rooms, excellent breakfast, next to Paddington station.
Breakfast coffee
Excellent check in and check out procedures, very courteous staff and excellent pillows.
The location at paddington station, the staff was quite friendly and the room I got was overall pretty nice. Great outdoor soundproofing as there was pretty intense construction going on at the station, but in the end, you don't hear much, so that was good
You pay for everything, from Wifi to 5 GBP for "tray removal" after eating (in my room) an 18 GBP discusting breakfast (the scrambled eggs were not real eggs, but egg beaters and the fruit salad was made of the chepest white melons you can get and 2 tiny pieces of pineapple) . To sum things up, be very careful on your express checkout bill, you will , without doubt, see extras. The mini bar charges you the minute that you move an item, so you are sure to be overcharged if you don't check; to me this is straight theft. To the hotel's credit, when I mentionned all of this, they immediately removed the breakfast, the tray removal fee and the mini-bar charge without making a fuss.
Room service cold Staff took 2 payments for my booking which I had to wait 5 days to be returned
Nice hotel, walk straight from train to hotel through walkway, nice room, reception staff plus helpers with suitcases were all exceptionally kind and helpful.
Our bedroom got a lot of noise from the trains rumbling in till late at night, then again early morning, The Mini Bar is very expensive but it is a Hilton so to be expected
Close to station
There was a band playing to the early hours of the morning in the room underneath mine so I got barely 2 hours sleep before my train. Food mediocre and expensive and had to ask for my wine order 3 times: it finally came after I'd almost completed the main meal. The access to rooms was difficult with luggage, with Several stairs up and then down again round the corridor and no alternatives routes and no porter assistance with taking it to your rooms. As a 62 year old I struggled with my 4 bags.
the location of the hotel is excellent as it is in paddington station which has frequent quick Heathrow train services at good prices
have to pay for the WIFI
Location is excellent for those that need to travel around London and UK. Beds and pillows are very comfortable.
There's no free internet connection Breakfast is very poor for the price we pay for it
location nex to train station
the room was away from the lifts and they didnt advise. No one to help you with the lugage. finaly thier was civil work next to my room at 1:00 am and again no one told me.
The price was too high Beds not comfortable Poor working Wifi

The Camden Police Department (CPD) will block off a portion of Broad and Laurens streets today at about 2:20 p.m. for the unveiling of "Reconciliation," featuring life-size statuary of Larry Doby and Bernard Baruch on the lawn of the Camden Archives and Museum.
You can't always have what you want, at least not when it comes to budgeting. Whether a personal, business or government budget, there are some things you just have to leave out. That was the case during a March 20 Camden City Council budget work session.
The city of Camden expects to receive $702,000 in local source revenue during its next fiscal year, which starts July 1. The majority of those funds -- an estimated $620,000 -- will come from the city's 2 percent hospitality tax (HTAX). How to use those funds was the subject of some debate during a special afternoon-long Camden City Council budget work session Wednesday.
(The online version of this story has been updated to correctly show that asbestos mitigation and demolition of the Maxway building would be paid for out of a fund created by the 2000 sale of city watershed property, as will the purchase of the building. Hospitality taxes would only be used to transform the property into the proposed "pocket park.")
The Kershaw County Historical Society (KCHS) will host a special Civil War program at 3 p.m. Sunday at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church's St. Mary's Hall. The program will be followed by a members-only tour of nearby Holly Hedge, an historic home closely related the program's topic, "The Immortal Six Hundred."
John Rainey wants to make sure of one thing: what happens in Camden on March 29 will not be about him. Rainey said the unveiling of "Reconciliation," a piece of art featuring life-size statuary of two of Camden's native sons, will happen because of a unique collaboration. Yes, it will be his vision, but as the combined work of others to see that vision come to life. That, Rainey said during a recent interview, will make the day unique.
Camden City Manager Mel Pearson and Camden City Council are actively accepting applications for service on the boards and commissions. Currently, there is one vacancy on the Camden Historic Landmarks Commission (CHLC) and two vacancies on the Camden Board of Construction Appeals (CBCA).
Camden City Council used much of its afternoon work session Tuesday to discuss transportation issues, including its pending move to a Columbia-area planning organization and a parking project south of Rutledge Street.
Tourism was the name of the game during Camden City Council's regular meeting Tuesday evening.
Camden City Council will continue its discussion of whether or not to join the Central Midlands Regional Council of Governments' (COG) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) during its work session Tuesday afternoon. Due to population changes reflected in the 2010 Census, the combined population of the city of Camden, town of Elgin and certain unincorporated areas of Kershaw County reached more than 50,000. Federal law requires that an MPO be designated for each "urbanized area" hitting that population level.
The Camden Fire Department (CFD) recently received a $3,750 fire prevention grant from FM Global, one of the world's largest commercial property insurers.
All men. All out. That combination earned the praise of both a packed audience and judges at Camden High School's (CHS) basketball gymnasium for Lower Richland High School's Diamond Dawgs to win Saturday night. Wearing black clothes and gold ties, the team took the high school Mayor's Cup at the 2013 Camden step show and took the crowd by storm.
The city of Camden will have its day at the State House -- literally. As part of the city's effort to market itself, Camden's marketing consultant, Ashley Hunter, has arranged with state lawmakers to have April 11 declared City of Camden Day at the State House.
Former Camden resident Ella Johnson-Williams was selected for the job of her dreams last fall. After one failed attempt and lots of uncertainty, Johnson-Williams went to the Mpologeni, Swaziland, in Africa, in October to act as a supervisor of a "soup kitchen."
Camden City Council will recognize outgoing councilmen Walter Long and Willard Polk as they attend their last meeting Tuesday night. Long and Polk chose not to run for reelection. Voters elected former mayor Jeffrey Graham and Deborah Davis as Long and Polk's replacements. They are tentatively scheduled to be sworn in at 5 p.m. Dec. 1, and will take their seats on council at its Dec. 9 meeting.
About 50 people spent some time Nov. 13 to help the city of Camden celebrate the official grand opening of its new wastewater treatment plant. The plant, which cost around $35 million to build, actually began operating in late-February. The city chose to wait until late in the year to have a ribbon cutting ceremony and offer tours of the plant while it worked to drain the old plant's remaining lagoon. The new plant replaces one built in 1979.
An exhibit on World War I is now on display through June 2015 at the Camden Archives and Museum.
In addition to passing first reading of an ordinance authorizing an up to $4 million bond to renovate Rhame Arena and contribute to the construction of a community building at an expanded Central Carolina Technical College campus, Camden City Council took up several other matters at its Nov. 11 meeting.
A large crowd gathered early at Hampton Park in downtown Camden on Wednesday afternoon for a 3 p.m. ceremony honoring a long-time physician known as "Dr. Mac." About 70 people sat in chairs while another 30 to 40 stood across the street from the house where Dr. Francis N. McCorkle first lived in Camden. Several people were on the agenda to speak. The Camden Military Academy (CMA) color guard became a last-minute addition, representing the facility where McCorkle has served as school doctor for 57 years.

Click here for this week's theater reviews on Steven Leigh Morris' Stage Raw blog.
With 50 of his own stage plays in his flash drive, Tom Jacobson may be Los Angeles' most prolific playwright. There's no particular aesthetic that defines his work. His urbane dialogue carries ideas that seem to rise higher in his horizons than the emotions of his characters. This would make him a local literary descendent of Tony Kushner and Charles L. Mee. For example, in 2004 Road Theater Company presented his whimsically macabre Ouroboros, about two vacationing, Venetian catacombs–visiting American couples caught in a Twilight Zone time warp between two Italian cities. The next year, Playwrights Arena presented his The Orange Grove, a realistic and slightly goofy riff on Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, concerning the death throes of a small, local Lutheran choir. Last year, Cornerstone Theatre Company commissioned a musical about the creation of the city of West Hollywood, Making Paradise, while Theatre @ Boston Court presented The Twentieth Century Way, a "rehearsal" of a play about gay entrapment in early-20th-century Long Beach, in which two actors portrayed an entire gallery of characters in a theater dressing room.
This year, Circle X Theatre Company and Ensemble Studio Theatre L.A. — which now occupy two theaters side by side in Atwater Village — are putting on a festival of concurrently running plays by Jacobson, The Chinese Massacre (Annotated) and House of the Rising Son. (Click here for our recent cover story on the Chinese massacre.)
If you're not familiar with Jacobson's work, you'll be hard-pressed to believe these two works were created by the same writer. The Chinese Massacre is a prodigiously researched, self-consciously Brechtian parable about what may be L.A.'s first officially recorded race riot in 1871. A number of "annotators" playfully interrupt the action to identify historical inaccuracies that have been interjected for the flow of the story — and, citing Brecht's style of epic theater, to prevent the play's larger ideas from being overpowered by our emotional reaction to various lynchings and other brutalities depicted on the stage. Those ideas swirl around the essences of ethnic bigotry that just seem to keep recycling themselves, like our race riots, as the decades roll by.
House of the Rising Son is a comedy, of sorts, about the initiation of a young L.A. man into a secret gay dynasty now situated in New Orleans, but dating back to ancient Rome.
For all these plays' seeming idiosyncrasies and divergent styles, they contain a trinity of pivotal and interconnected concerns that define Jacobson as being among the region's most important theatrical voices. The first of these is history, and the making of it — from Ouroboros to Making Paradise to Orange Grove to Twentieth Century to Massacre to Rising Son; the distinctions between what gets recorded in legends (and plays) and what actually happened. Massacre and Twentieth Century are infused with both a metaphysical playfulness and an earnest compulsion for social justice, which is where Jacobson holds hands with Kushner.
The second related idea circles around Jacobson's deeply abiding love for the theater — playwrights in whose style Jacobson riffs include Anton Chekhov in Orange Grove, Tennessee Williams in Rising Son, Bertolt Brecht in Massacre. He toys with and chides the art form, sometimes through dialogue, sometimes through emulation, and sometimes through plays (or rehearsals) within plays (as in Twentieth Century) depicting through theater the process of arriving at a completed drama. This process parallels the metamorphosis of dubiously known facts into the even more dubious fictions we call history. These passions for history and for the theater come tethered to a third and, in American theater, rare concern that completes Jacobson's three unities — and that's theology.
Aside from land grabs and massacres, history is the clash of tribes and of notions held sacred. Jacobson engages these notions in styles sometimes approaching flippancy, as in the local Lutheran choir on the ropes in Orange Grove; and sometimes gravely, as in a litany of Christian hypocrisies expressed by a condemned Chinese man in Massacre.
In that play, it's an opportunistic reverend (Silas Weir Mitchell) who fuses the trinity of Jacobson's passions in a single line: "History is past."
Or, to paraphrase a line from Brecht's adaptation of Marlowe's Edward II, trying to scoop up history is like trying to "catch the wind in a sieve."
Meanwhile, in the venue across the courtyard, at almost the same time, in Rising Son, the following dialogue unfolds between the young man, a collector of folklore named Felix (Steve Coombs), and Trent (Paul Witten), the older biologist who brought Felix to New Orleans: "But you believe in history, don't you?" "I guess so." "Of course." "And history's what holds us together." "That, and secrets."
In an earlier scene, Felix, newly arrived in Gothic old New Orleans, speaks with a man who appears to be Trent's father (Patrick John Hurley) about the urban "design" spew of Los Angeles, a city that, as one character points out, in the brief time since it was annexed into the United States, has destroyed more of its historical buildings and neighborhoods than any city in America: "It has no history to speak of." "It's not trapped by its history." "Nothing to build on." "L.A. hasn't found itself yet."

The Tin Muffin Caf├® is a favorite spot just north of Fort Lauderdale in Boca Raton.┬Ā IŌĆÖve been one other time and remember liking it and jumped at the chance to go there again for a review.┬Ā ItŌĆÖs a small restaurant that has limited seating inside with some tables lined up outside, weather permitting.┬Ā We went inside and found a table for two easily.┬Ā The inside is decorated in almost a country theme, with French accents.┬Ā Maybe you could call it ŌĆśFrench-countryŌĆÖ?┬Ā The tables seem to be all different styles, but it all works well.┬Ā ItŌĆÖs a tight spot and they seem to do well on keeping things moving.┬Ā You donŌĆÖt really notice the size once you sit down and it makes for an enjoyable lunch.
The menu consists of sandwiches, soups, salads, quiches and of course muffins.┬Ā They have a daily specials board, which is a must to check out when you dine here.┬Ā IŌĆÖve ordered off of this board both times now.┬Ā We ordered sodaŌĆÖs and just to let you knowŌĆ"they are served in cans, so no free refills.┬Ā They do have some house-made teas and lemonade and I hear the raspberry iced tea is amazing.┬Ā One thing you need to know is this is a CASH ONLY establishment.┬Ā Plan ahead or you can run down to a bank that is down the block.┬Ā The server was very nice and when my co-worker asked about the bank, she said itŌĆÖs about a 5 minute walk and you can go now or when we finish eating, there is no rush.┬Ā Money in hand we decided on our lunch.┬Ā
The food actually came out fairly quickly. I was torn between the Chicken Pot Pie with a salad, or the roasted chicken over mixed greens special.┬Ā The pot pie won.┬Ā The plate looked so nice I almost didnŌĆÖt want to dig in.┬Ā The colors of the greens and veggies popped off the plate.┬Ā The house made red pepper dressing could have used a bit more tang, but was very good.┬Ā It didnŌĆÖt overpower the delicateness of the greens.┬Ā The pot pie was amazing.┬Ā It was stuffed with so much chicken, I wondered how they got all of that in.┬Ā There were also some peas and carrots to bring you back to your childhood, making this a true pot pie.┬Ā The gravy was also amazing.┬Ā It reminded me of the pot pies of my youth slightly with a familiar taste, but had so many other layers, I couldnŌĆÖt wait to take the next bite.┬Ā The crust wasnŌĆÖt tough or overdone and this was an excellent choice.┬Ā It will be hard to not order this again if I wanted to try something different on another visit.
My co-worker got the Lobster Roll special that comes with a choice of soup or a salad.┬Ā He went for the sweet potato soup.┬Ā The lobster was served on what looked like a brioche bun and was piled quite high.┬Ā At first glance, it looked like a small sandwich, but it made up for it in how tall it was.┬Ā There was a lot of lobster in this and it was quite impressive.┬Ā He liked the roll, but did comment that it had a little too much mayo, but the quality and overall taste didnŌĆÖt suffer.┬Ā The soup was thick and smooth and had a similar texture to split pea soup.┬Ā He loved the taste and was amazed it was made with sweet potatoes.┬Ā Seasoned well, he was happy with his choice as well.
Since this is called The Tin Muffin Cafe, we couldnŌĆÖt leave without getting a few to go.┬Ā We both got a pumpkin and a blueberry muffin.┬Ā While these are not your oversized ones you see all over, these are a perfect one serving size.┬Ā Not dry and not too sweet, they were really good.┬Ā They also had a selection of a few cakes and pies that looked almost too good to pass up.┬Ā I was stuffed, so I guess that will be on the list for next time.
The prices are for the most part very reasonable here, but we did get a little sticker shock when we found out how much the lobster roll was.┬Ā I guess when you factor in the fresh lobster and the quantity/quality you get along with the house made soup or salad, the $20 price is justified.┬Ā You might want to ask how much the specials are prior to ordering if you are on a budget, or brought limited cash.

This is a quaint but roomy and comfortable hotel. Turin old town and centre is compact so everything was reachable on foot.
Some of the equipment is a bit old-fashioned.
The building, the atmosphere, the location.
No English was spoken by the staff at all. Wi-fi didn't work the whole stay.
the location of this hotel is indeed outstanding. It is close to best Turin has to offer. Located on a quiet side street yet right off a main boulevard. The facility is impressive, yet not quite... Private parking is available for a small fee - highly recomended comparing to street parking fees.
the rooms, although spacious, are in disrepair. The wooden floors creek noisily, the bathroom, a later addition, is too small for comfort, the sound proofing is very poor, and the general facilities of the hotel are scant. There is no bar nor dining and the included breakfast is poor and disorganized.
- good location of the hotel near restaurants, center, neighberhood - breakfast was ok for short stay (they make coffee at your request, mini croissants, eggs, bacon, pancakes, cornflakes, 2 kinds of meat, cheese, nutella, yoghurt, no fresh bread, but little breads baked in the oven)
- bed was ok, but not too comfortable - wifi was not at the room but only downstairs where the breakfast and check-in was
no noise
old lift
Comfortable spacious
Slightly scary lift
Large and comfortable bed, good location
Poor towels, poor sound isolation, unpleasant odor, messy breakfast
Close to center of town
Service, almost not available Friendliness of staff needs improvement Poor offerings for breakfast, Furniture very simple
About 10 walk from station. Quiet room with a decent sleep.
Staff were trying to do too much. Checking in took 30 minutes then told I had wo wait an hour for my room at 13.30hrs when checking started at noon. Why not tell me that from the start?
Problems with wi-fi and no help from members of staff. Shower not working properly. How the hotel dealt with the reservation
Very friendly and helpful staff, clean and tidy room, excellent location, quiet, very good value for money...
This time, my stay was too short...
There are just three hotels in Turin that have apartments and so for this alone the hotel is a good find. The location of this hotel is great - very central and we walked everywhere. We travelled with our two small children (two and four) and discovered by chance L'Hamburgheria just five doors down which is open from noon to midnight. They have children's portions, highchairs galore, cartoons on the TV and a great children's play area downstairs with a baby changing room right next to it. Perfect!
The staff at the hotel were polite and helpful. It's just a shame about the owner. Everything was fine until we were told by him that it was safer to leave our suitcases at the hotel rather than in the car while we went to get a last coffee in town after checking out. Not one hour later my husband returned to pick them up and the owner had no recollection of us leaving the suitcases. When my husband couldn't see the suitcases in the storage room the owner insinuated (in front of other clients) that my husband wasn't bright enough to find his own suitcases. Classy. The suitcases were subsequently found behind the storage room door but it left a distinctly bitter taste in our mouths.
Comfortable bed
We found it difficult to find, sign for hotel not very visible and just said artua when found. RECEPTION DESK IN ONE BUILDING AND ROOMS IN ANOTHER BUILDING PART USED FOR THE HOTEL AND THE OTHER PART PRIVATELY USED. DIDNT LIKE THE OLD WOODEN FLOORS IN ROOM.
Good location close to city center Supportive staff Good value for money
Internet in the room was not available
central location
there were dead flowers stuck to the roof of the childrens bedroom
Some of the staff was very friendly, the room was wide. The breakfast was rich.
The rooms weren't that clean, no minibar and expensive than it is worth.
Location is very convenient. Beautiful lobby
No internet possible in the room, even paid one. Breakfast is poor. Room was very cold
Central location, staff friendly and helpful
The room, dated, wires hanging from ceiling, sky not working, toilet cistern broke twice, bathroom in general very tatty, hairdryer not in room had to get from hallway each day, no wifi....
great location, walk to all sights, comfortable, good value for money
helpful staff and friendly
Very clean, the staff was very friendly, the rooms were ok.
One has to pay for the internet
Very good breakfast which is included. Good sized room.
In fact this is not 3* hotel, be careful. I suppose they got this 3rd star only beacause of location. The room and bathroom are very small and dark, the furniture is old. Towels... You can find some pieces of fabric in your bathroom called "towes" - enjoy... I'm not joking at all. There is no any sound isolation, you hear people talking in the next room, water in pipes etc. In my room I found a piece of electric cord on the ceiling, probably for the light, I don't know, but looks awful. The only one reason you can book it - location, very close to the center and all main places in Turin. I would never recommend this hotel. You can find a lot of more comfortable hotels in Turin for the same price.
I have forgot a valuable necklace in the closet in the hotel room. And i emailed and called them immediately when i realized it but the staff was not particularly helpful. They never replied my email and after several phone calls, they could NOT find it even though I am definitely sure that I forgot it there. Of course it's my responsibility to take care of my belongings but this was disappointing. I'd expect a hotel to be more responsible and responsive.
