We're done with another round of polling in two important states. This has been a year of polls (and by-polls), and people voting for CHANGE!
Maharashtra and Haryana, the most prosperous of India's states, have new chief ministers.
In the northern state, a man, whose parents worked as labourers after arriving from Pakistan post-partition, and who once wanted to be a doctor, has become the first Punjabi and first non-Jat chief minister to occupy the post after nearly two decades.
Manohar Lal Khattar is admired for his organisational skills. The 60-year-old former pracharak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is a bachelor and known for his simple lifestyle and clean image. Though a first-time MLA he has earned himself the reputation of a tough task master with a no-nonsense approach while working behind-the-scenes in key positions in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Closer home, the BJP's choice as its first chief minister is a Brahmin from Nagpur, also a RSS pedigree. But Devendra Fadnavis had many other interests apart from politics – the incumbent president of BJP's Maharashtra unit was once a model for a garment store in Nagpur. The 44-year-old's political graph is nothing short of dramatic. A law graduate, he worked closely with the party's youth wing, before getting elected as corporator in 1992. Within five years, at the age of just 27, he became the youngest Mayor of the Nagpur.
This was followed by an unbroken four-term stint as a legislator representing Nagpur in the Maharashtra assembly, where he distinguished himself as an aggressive and well-informed people's representative and leader with a clean image. Armed with documents, he took the lead in targeting the Democratic Front government on a host of issues including the Adarsh and irrigation scams.
Allegations of corruption, incompetence and dynastic politics plagued the earlier regimes led by the Congress in these states. So the new governments known for their aggressive posturing and poll campaigns as the opposition, would now be expected to usher in the CHANGE they promised people.
What has changed? One really wonders. Despite the kindly twinning of Pakistan and India by the Nobel Committee, peace between the two countries remains illusory. There is trouble in the east, and the northeast. In Haryana, politicians continue to bow before Khap Panchayats. Closer home, caste violence continues to raise its ugly head. Maharashtra police's failure to nab perpetrators of a gruesome triple murder of a Dalit family in Ahmednagar district, even a week after the incident, should anger any sensitive soul.
Still there is hope. That someday we may realize the true meaning of those famous words, 'Be the CHANGE you wish to see…'

Late Down To The Lockdown
(I'm one of three people working the opening shift. Since the two managers arrive first, they're supposed to unlock the doors every day for us employees. On this particular morning, the front door is locked. I go around back to the employee entrance and find it is also locked. A few attempts at knocking prove fruitless, so I finally come around to the drive-through window, where I can see the managers and vaguely hear a conversation.)
Manager #1: *checking the clock* "Where's [My Name]? She's five minutes late! She's NEVER late!"
(At this point, I knock on the window.)
Manager #1: "[Manager #2], you get it. Tell them we're a little short today."
Manager #2: *looking out the window and waving at me* "Say, [Manager #1]? Are you SURE you unlocked all the doors today?"
Manager #1: "Sure I did! Why?"
Manager #2: "Because [My Name] is standing right outside this window."

Some people take the dog for a walk, other go play a round of golf. Not Christophe Coenraets. His idea of a good time is to illustrate Flex and JMS integration by extending a simple "realtime feed" application that he built a while back! Web Developer's & Designer's Journal is proud to bring you each month two of the month's best tips from Adobe's intrepid Flex Hero.
Using Flex 2 with Flash Media Server
I recently built a proof of concept that included a call center integration scenario. The use case revolved around a user getting stuck while trying to complete an online process, and engaging in a real time collaboration session with a customer services representative to sort out the problem.
The nature of the collaboration between the end-user and the support representative was very rich and included the following features:
- Chat
- Videoconference / video chat
- The support representative was able to "drive" the end-user's UI
- The support representative was also able to remotely fill in the user's form. In other words, data typed in the support rep's application automatically appeared (in real time) in the user's app.
The application turned out to be really easy to implement with Flex 2:
- Features (1) and (3) were enabled by the new Message Service in Flex 2.
- Feature (4) was enabled by the Data Services in Flex 2. Using the data services, two clients can point to the same destination (the same data set). Changes made by one client are automatically reflected in the other client. No code required!
- Feature (2) was enabled by the Flash Media Server.
To run this example you will have to:
- Install FlexBuilder 2. You can download the beta here: http://labs.adobe.com/.
- Install the Flash Media Server (you can download a free developer edition here: www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/
- Download the sample application code here: http://coenraets.com/apps/fms.zip
- In C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server 2\applications\flex_videoconference, create a directory called flex_videoconference and copy the main.asc file in that directory
- Create a FlexBuilder project and copy fms.mxml and VideoContainer.as in that project
- Run fms.mxml
Embedding HTML in a Flex Application using an IFrame
I have recently been involved in several projects where there was a need to embed HTML content in a Flex application. Depending on the specific requirements of your application, there are a couple of approaches you can use...
- The Flex Text components (Label, Text, TextArea) support basic HTML formatting through their htmlText attribute. You can find an example of this approach in the Samples Explorer where the Code Viewer uses the HTML capabilities of the TextArea to provide syntax coloring.
- You can embed a Flex application in a page that also contains traditional HTML. The Flex application can communicate with the HTML document (and the other way around) through JavaScript. You can also embed multiple Flex applications in a page. These applications can then communicate directly with each others using the LocalConnection API.
In some cases, these approaches may not go far enough: You may need a single Flex application that embeds HTML content with no restriction in terms of HTML tags and features supported.
In this case, another approach is to position an IFrame on top of a specific area of your Flex application to provide a container for the HTML content which will then appear embedded in the application. This technique may initially sound complex or cumbersome to implement, especially if the different containers of your Flex application resize dynamically and you have to keep the IFrame in sync. In the attached example, I abstracted the complexity of this approach in an IFrame component written in mxml. The IFrame component extends Canvas and is used like any other Flex container. Behind the scenes, it acts as a proxy for the actual HTML IFrame (Figure 1). For example, when the IFrame component is resized or moved it automatically asks the HTML document to resize/move the actual IFrame.
- Run the example (resize the browser window to see how the IFrame is resized accordingly): http://coenraets.com/apps/iframe/index.htm

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Commentary: Agents Should Piggyback on Positive Press
A renewed appreciation for travel agents, travel consultants and experts is the silver lining of all the bad news travel stories hitting the airwaves lately. In fact, it's probably fair to say more pro-travel agent pieces have been distributed by the press in the first two months of 2012 than in all of 2011. In addition to the dozens of articles and segments in local papers and on local TV stations, major publishing outlets like Forbes, CNN, the New York Times and NBC's "Today" show also have shown the agency industry some love. But while reading these articles or watching the "Today" clip should be an ego-booster for any travel agent, their true value lies in their ability to convince the public that travel agents still have value in today's society. That means travel sellers need to be taking advantage of them as marketing resources.Here are a few ideas on how to use them:1. Post positive press on Facebook. Pretty self-explanatory, no? 2. Put articles on your physical and/or digital storefront window. If you've got an actual storefront window, tape the articles there so passersby can read them. If you don't have a physical storefront, put them on your virtual one. Don't just post a link; make a PDF of the pages or a "print screen" image and put that up. That way people can read them without leaving your website.3. Blog about the good news. Put a link to one or more of the articles or "Today" clip on your blog, then expand on how you fit into the theme. 4. Do your own a live Q&A. Suggest to your local library or branch of a national community group (Elks, Rotary Club, Kiwanis) that you present the "Today" clip and follow it up with a live Q&A, so people can ask about what you can do for them.5. Replicate the "Today" episode. Contact your local TV or radio station, or even the local high school TV station, and tell them about the national media attention travel agents have been getting. Offer yourself as a subject for a local version of the national news stories.Have you got other ideas? Feel free to leave a comment, sharing your thoughts and suggestions for how to make the most of positive press favoring the travel agency community.
While reading these articles or watching the "Today" clip should be an ego-booster for any travel agent, their true value lies in their ability to convince the public that travel agents still have value in today's society.
Here are the prominent examples of pro-agent media for you to use in your marketing efforts:Forbes.com Lifestyle Blog – "Why You Need a Travel Agent, part 1" Forbes.com Lifestyle Blog – "Why You Need a Travel Agent, part 2" CNN.com – "Travel Agents Know Something You Don't" NBC's "Today" – "Tips on When You Should Use a Travel Agent" New York Times Travel's Frugal Traveler blog – "Is the Best Travel Search Engine Around the Corner?"

Something fishy in the Potomac
The Potomac Conservancy today released its annual State of the Nation's River report, focusing on chemicals that appear to be causing fish kills and fish with altered gender characteristics. It's an issue that's gotten a lot of attention due to kills and altered fish found in the Potomac, Shenandoah and Monocacy rivers. For more, see my story in tomorrow's Free Lance-Star. Read the report here.

Future of Nursing Initiative
MONDAY, May 23 (HealthDay News) -- Providing cancer patients with full access to their medical records may increase their satisfaction without increasing anxiety, according to a study published online May 23 in Cancer.
Gwenaelle Gravis, M.D., from the Paoli-Calmettes Institute in Marseille, France, and colleagues evaluated the impact of providing 336 newly diagnosed cancer patients with systematic full access (SFA) to their organized medical records (OMRs). The patients, who had received adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, colon cancer, or lymphoma, were randomly allocated into a requested access (RA) group (where they had to request access to information and medical records), or the SFA group (where they automatically received access to their OMRs). Anxiety was assessed before, during, and after treatment using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and quality of life was assessed before and at the end of treatment using the European Organization for Research and Cancer quality-of-life questionnaire. At the end of treatment, patients' satisfaction and perception of their OMRs were evaluated.
The investigators found that almost 98 percent of patients who were given the opportunity to obtain an OMR did so. There was no increase in anxiety levels in the SFA group, and no significant difference compared with anxiety levels in the RA group. Patients in the SFA group were more satisfied with the information and felt they were sufficiently informed, but the differences were not statistically significant.
"Future studies need to be implemented in the context of the electronic medical file, which provides patients with secured, direct access to their records, even from home," the authors write.

Travel Blogs from Segovia
The Curious incident of the door of the Caterham
The ferry docked on time. And, as you do, we sat on the car deck. Waiting. BE went to investigate and reported (eventually) that the lowest deck was cleared and our deck was next. All of a sudden we were on the move and out onto the docks and thence onto the motorway. We needed to do 160 miles and 80 on the motorway would see us on target for arriving at the hotel at a suitable time for a beer! Some of the way was free but then, naturally, there was a toll ...
Fairytale Avila & Segovia!
... remember are the castle, twisting alleyways, the beautiful churches once again, the large aquaduct and the smell of suckling pig as you walk through the streets!
The Castle, or Castile, is the best - all surrounded by the city's medieval wall which itself is bordered by two rivers and an extensive green-belt park with miles of shaded walks. The famous Alc�zar castle was the source ...
Slaying dragons while keeping cool!
... I am pretty sure we saw every fan this lady had in her collection. Amelie finally settled on one, but not before opening and closing each fan, and discussing the pros of each design. Oddly enough, she settled on the pink one.
With that business taken care of, we continued on our quest to see the Alcazar. We were going to actually see the inside of the beautiful castle. I had read many reviews and everyone said that it wasn't a great tour ...

Awesome colours. Great image.
Exellent shot… impressive reds at sunset with great reflections.
gorgeous colours. a vivid dream
nice to see you here craig :)
Thanks Steve :)
VBS Thanks Craig, I was VERY excited taking these shots :)
VBS Thanks Jay :) :) I'm pretty lost right now, will get used to that though I guess, once I look around a little and make some friends :)
GASP!!! magical
Awwwww VBS Thank you Kooky :D
Great colour. Love what you have done with the reflection.
Great Shot Mate!
Sometimes you forget there is a scientific explanation for those colours. Often i like to think thats bulls#*t and that it's simply just magical and something special thats unexplainible.
I love the way you've really thought about the image Craig. It strikes close to my heart of photography. That you have a feeling or thought that you wanted to express though this shot is something i love.
Sunsets happen every day my friend but to catch one like that is a special oppurtunity that rarely comes around. Congrats on a great moment of capture Craig.

Cops Capture Videoed Window Basher
Didn't take long for La Crosse police to solve a broken window mystery downtown. Last week, police posted a video from a phone on the department's facebook page of a drunken guy walking away from where he punched out a big window in the Doerflinger building. On Saturday, the building's owner called cops to let them know that Ryan Lucchesi called him to offer to pay for the window and clean-up. Later, Lucchesi told cops he was out celebrating his 21st birthday and simply made a mistake.
Minn. Lawmakers To Discuss Vikes Stadium
Winona Republican Senator Jeremy Miller says state lawmakers need a new plan when trying to build a new Minnesota Vikings stadium.
Miller announced last week that he is sponsoring a bill enabling the state to partner with northwestern Minnesota's White Earth Nation to build a casino. As part of the deal, the tribe is willing to pay $400 million up front to fund the state's share of the cost of a Vikings stadium. Lawmakers are back in sesion today.
Two Justices Not Saying Yet Whether They'll Avoid Prosser Hearing
We don't know yet whether two women on the Wisconsin Supreme Court would recuse themselves from a possible disciplinary hearing against fellow justice David Prosser.
The two that Prosser doesn't want hearing the case are Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson, and the justice Prosser is accused of trying to choke, Ann Walsh Bradley. Both women spoke in La Crosse last week, but did not declare whether they would stay out of a hearing in the Prosser case. Abrahamson admits it's a "troublesome" situation.
The Wisconsin Judicial Commission says Prosser violated three ethical rules, but a group of appeals court judges is deciding now whether to send the matter to the Supreme Court.
ATC Public Meetings This Week
A third round of public meetings will begin this week, being held by the company that wants to build high voltage transmission lines from just north of La Crosse to Dan County. Sara Justice of American Transmission Company, says they have recieved quite a bit of public comment already.
The first meeting is at 1pm Tuesday at Stoney Creek in Onalaska. Justice says they will have representatives from transmission planning, engineering, real estate and enviromental and construction on hand to answer questions.

The castle has been sold to a Chinese company which bottles mineral water for distribution around the world.
The new owners of the 190-year-old castle in the heart of the Ayrshire countryside are Ganten Scotland, an offshoot of an international business based in the south China province of Guangdong.
The Regency House property will continue to provide upmarket accommodation, but with a renewed focus on guests from the Far East.
Blairquhan, the 14-bedroom ancestral home of Sir Patrick and Lady Hunter Blair, was put on the market for £4.85 million two years ago.
Now a deal has been done that secures the future of the house itself along with the successful weddings and conference business and the jobs of local staff.
Sir Patrick, the 9th Baronet of Dunskey, has confirmed that the family estate will be repositioned around Milton of Blairquhan, the dower house.
Sir Patrick said: "Marguerite and I look forward to supporting our new neighbours in this exciting venture.
"This is great news for the local economy."
Sir Patrick Hunter Blair, formerly of Carsphairn, moved back to Scotland from County Down, Northern Ireland, when he inherited the property in 2004.
Blairquhan's interiors were used to represent Balmoral in the hit film The Queen, starring Helen Mirren, one of many times that the castle has featured in movies and on television.
The new owners have pledged to be sympathetic custodians of the fine house and surrounding lands, having already spent much time at the estate.
Mr Zhou Jing Liang, owner and managing director of Ganten China, said: "Every care shall be taken in the future preservation and maintenance of these valued and traditional assets.
"Ganten wish to expand and diversify in Scotland with the aim of becoming a provider of top level accommodation and hospitality for elite Chinese and foreign tourists who desire only the best."
Their aim is to stimulate business between China and Scotland and believe that they are the trailblazers, bringing valuable investment to Scotland.
The company are very sensitive to the cultural and historical aspects of Scotland and wish their move to be seen as promoting business here and culture in China.
Mr Zhou added: "It is the wish of Ganten to bring together the cultures of China and Scotland, by encouraging even greater tourist opportunities to the ever-growing affluent Chinese market.
"Ganten wish to become a pioneering, China-based organisation who shall bring to Scotland a sound and innovative platform for mutually beneficial tourist, cultural and commercial ventures."
Elite Ayrshire Business Circle and China
Since the beginning of the current challenging economic climate, the Elite Ayrshire Business Circle has been constantly advising and encouraging its members to seek out new business opportunities in regions of the world that are still managing to achieve continuing economic growth - notably China.
In October 2011, the Elite Ayrshire Business Circle in conjunction with South Ayrshire Council held a special meeting entitled "Encouraging Trade and Business between Ayrshire and China".
The meeting was attended by Chinese Consul-General in Edinburgh Li Ruiyou, Consul Mr Wan Degang, and Deputy Consul Miss Zhu Hongying.
Building upon these initial contacts, to further promote business and trade between Ayrshire and China, the Elite Ayrshire Business Circle arranged a meeting between the Chinese Consul-General in Scotland Mr Li Ruiyou, Scotland First Minister Alex Salmond and John Scott MSP for Ayr at the Coral Scottish Grand National Festival at Ayr Racecourse in April this year.
Most recently, in September South Ayrshire Council Leader Bill McIntosh and Provost Helen Moodie welcomed ten senior business executives from China to the County Buildings in Ayr, when they attended an Elite Ayrshire Business Circle meeting.
Members of the Elite Ayrshire Business Circle had asked Councillor McIntosh to facilitate a presentation by South Ayrshire Council to tell the visitors about South Ayrshire. It was an ideal opportunity to highlight some important potential areas of investment opportunity – tourism, renewable energies, engineering, property and infrastructure.
Councillor McIntosh said: "South Ayrshire offers some fantastic opportunities, and we were delighted to welcome the high-level trade and investment delegation.
"In the current economic climate it is more important than ever that as a Council we do all that we can to facilitate new investment and long-term jobs to the area.
"We are delighted to work with members of the Elite Ayrshire Business Circle to promote the businesses and people of South Ayrshire around the globe."
Elite Ayrshire Business Circle executive chairman Norman Geddes concluded: "The members of the Elite Ayrshire Business Circle span many areas of knowledge and capability, and we are delighted to be able to use our connections around the globe for the benefit of Ayrshire as a whole.
"Our members Jim and Meiqin McColm have played and continue to play an integral part in our efforts to further business between Ayrshire and China, for which we offer them our thanks and appreciation.
"And finally we warmly welcome Mr and Mrs Zhou to Blairquhan, and hope that their association with Ayrshire will be a long and happy one."
The Elite Ayrshire Business Circle is an association founded in 2007 by some of the top companies in Ayrshire.
Its purpose is to publicise its members, and to celebrate and promote the wealth and rich diversity of entrepreneurial talent and business excellence that abounds here within the county boundaries of Ayrshire.
Members include the Clydesdale Bank, Ayr Racecourse, Western House Hotel, Turnberry Golf Resort and South Ayrshire Council. Member company activities include broadcasting, building and construction, architectural practice, estate agency and land management, chartered accountancy, insurance broking, legal services, golf club management, marketing services and brand creation, web design and public relations consultancy.
Frazer Coogans Commercial Solicitors senior partner Norman Geddes is executive chairman of the Elite Ayrshire Business Circle, and managing director is public relations consultancy Fame Publicity Services proprietor Murdoch MacDonald.

Om Gal's 6 Spring Cleaning Tips
As a yoga teacher, creator of OmGal.com, and online wellness editor for Boston magazine, it may come as a surprise that IŌĆÖm not so keen on cleanses. If IŌĆÖm feeling toxic or low energy or ŌĆö letŌĆÖs call it like it is ŌĆö as though a large percentage of my body mass index consists of red wine and chocolate, I curb my overindulgent ways by erring in the direction of raw fruits and vegetables and plenty of water. I go for a run. I meditate. I spend some time in the steam room of my gym. I donŌĆÖt endure days of a liquid-only diet. I donŌĆÖt condone grown-ups eating baby food for any reason. And when friends or students tell me theyŌĆÖre on the Master Cleanse, it makes me completely anxious.
Please donŌĆÖt faint in my yoga class. I say to myself. Please donŌĆÖt develop an eating disorder…
I see the merit of giving oneŌĆÖs system a rest and healthful re-start, especially at the start of a new season and with proper supervision. Cleaning out our physical and spiritual ŌĆ£housesŌĆØ (i.e. our bodies) is an important way to stay healthy, clear-headed, and full of energy. However, more often than not, I witness cleanses used as starvation diets, with the virtuous disguise of a yogi ritual.
On the other hand, I am a junkie when it comes to lifestyle cleansing. I would detox my home, thoughts, and habits all darn day if I could. Give me a stack of junk mail, and IŌĆÖll go to town. Show me a bulging, bloated closet, and IŌĆÖll delight in extracting the trends of seasonsŌĆÖ past until what remains is a functional, fabulous, and of-the-moment wardrobe. Plop me on a meditation cushion to consider my toxic thought patterns because I am in. Cleansing of this kind is essential. Not to mention, it doesnŌĆÖt require foregoing solid foods…
To help you get started, here are six spring cleaning tips for your body and mind:
Closet Cleanse: Each season, itŌĆÖs important to review your wardrobe and shed items that no longer fit your body or fashion sense. Instead, donate them to a local homeless shelter. If your duds seem too posh for the castaway pile, try consignment. Perhaps you could use the earned money for a new spring purchase?
Technology Diet: To clear your head, try quieting external noise by observing the practice of ŌĆ£noble silence.ŌĆØ Turn off all iPods, iPhones, Blackberries, TVs and laptops for a few waking hours or one full day. YouŌĆÖll immediately notice that doing this will recharge you, as well as your devices.
Nature Supplement: To truly appreciate a change of the seasons, no matter how subtle, get outside! Be with nature. Supplement your daily routine with a trip to the mountains, a beach, lakefront, local park, or garden patch. Even the smallest doses of time spent in nature can clear nervous energy and make you feel more grounded.
Feel the Burn: Sounds like IŌĆÖm going to tell you to try CrossFit or some other calorie-scorching activity, right? Nope. (ThatŌĆÖs for another post). Fire is one of the most cleansing of all the elements (next to water). Integrating it into our lives can be effective for clearing old energy. An aromatherapy candle easily calms, while the first sparks of a campfire excite. Recently, I received the gift of a sacred piece of wood from Peru, known as a palo santo, which is said to purify and protect when lit throughout oneŌĆÖs home (especially in the vicinity of cluttered corners and spaces lacking movement and inspiration). The woodsy smell, alone, is enough to sharpen dulled senses.
Play with Your Food: Too often, conventional cleanses are restrictive and rigid. Instead, have fun with your food by savoring the new season. Try recipes and restaurants that use local ingredients. Not only does local food taste better, itŌĆÖs also better for the environment. A win-win for your health and your community.
Go Organ-ic: While I recommend buying organic whenever possible, IŌĆÖm referring to your actual organs, here. Twisting the body helps organs to cleanse internally. (Yes, really). Try adding a gentle twist to your yoga practice or workout routine, such as a seated twist (ardha matseyendrasana).
How will you ŌĆ£spring cleanŌĆØ this season?

OMG, PS4 pushed its release date back too and I think they are adding a sandwich maker inside the actual console.. cause of the rumor I just started!
Or maybe its just a place holder until an official release date is given like all other products on the Amazon store and various other online stores, meh doesn't stop me from dreaming.

Convenient check in & check out
The price and the location
The upkeep and maintenance
I stayed here nov 19-20th room was clean everything looked decent but the heat didn't work. I called the front desk tried to fix the problem but ended having to move me to a different room second room had bed bugs! Woke up in the middle of the night had tons of bites all over my body back arms & legs ended checked out few hours told staff about my bite weren't considered at all won't be going back
A simple motel good for shorter stay, easy access with car from Oakland airport.
Nothing to complain about for this rate (90 dollars).
- Excellent price - Staff is really helpful ( if they say 24 hrs, is true). - Hot water ( that actually works) - Cable TV. - Location: near to parks and groceries stores. I recommend to call them and ask for rates ( can be cheaper than online sites).
- After 10 am cleaning staff starts to be loud, screaming things like ( JUANITA ACUERDATE DE LIMPIAR EL 4B!!). - the area looks pretty ghetto, however is safe ( at least for me).
I stayed here once a week while settling into my new job to avoid a long commute (5 stays). I always felt safe. It was quiet and the other guests seemed like me... middle class folks looking for an affordable place to stay. Even though the grounds are not new, the room was clean and they made an effort to make it nice. I also got the impression that it is a family run place and they took pride in making sure I was comfortable. I greatly appreciate the hospitality and the very affordable rate!
I would be prepared that this location is near Macarthur BART. It is a great perk if you want easy public transportation and I always felt safe but I'm used to the neighborhood. I found myself checking and rechecking my car to make sure that there weren't any valuables showing. Good advice for parking near BART.
The location was great, and the room was nice.
I felt the shower could have been cleaner. The shower curtain made the entire bathroom smell funky.
good price friendly staff close to bart station and restraunts
Comfortable bed Big room Very clean
Poor wifi
There was no bag for the ice bucket and they charge for the ice. Only one way to get to the rooms. Not enough towels. Had to go to office to get coffee for the next morning, it was not replenished daily. No safety chain in door.
Price, location, fridge/microwave in room
Sheets had stains on them. WiFi occasionally and temporarily not working.
The bed and pillows were amazing. It was like a 5 star hotel inside. Room was spacious, TV was excellent...very modern and secure. Neighborhood is borderline but hotel was convenient and secure. Staff was super nice. Great breakfast recommendation..the bagel place around the corner. I left something in the room and they were so kind to mail it back to me. I'll stay there again any time!
Bathroom could have been updated compared to the amazing room and soap-stuff was super cheap.But it was certainly adequate and good for the price.
Perfectly clean, comfortable, friendly staff, very inexpensive.
WiFi was useless.
The room was remodeling and largest had microwave coffee maker inside
Nice Motel! Staff was nice and you have got Carls Jr. right next to you. It is not far away from the sightseeing points in SF!
Nothing actually. I'm a Seattle Seahawks fan and they played against the Oakland Raiders the days I was there. Well, 30-24 for us and I don't recommend to walk around with a Seahawks hat then :D
large space room and convenient kitchen facilities
dirty pillows and covers for bed
close to UC Berkeley.
bathroom is not clean.
Reasonable price. Clean and quiet. Good security. Hangers, hair dryer, and ironing board.
The door to the bathroom made it very difficult to get into the bathroom. Don't plan on changing in there.
Great bed, good internet, friendly staff, near a bart station which connects you to San Francisco within 20 minutes.
Noisy sometimes. Especially when other guests are showering.
Proximity to train station.
Noise from creaky floor on the room above was terrible, especially as some nights the people above were moving about a lot throughout the wee hours of the night.
Its easy to bartwill stay a
Bad naborhood
room was in good condition and clean. coffee maker and wifi in the room. low price for San Francisco area. nothing to complain about
Rather than paying higher prices for locations in San Francisco, I chose the Imperial Inn in nearby Oakland. An older but well-maintained property; the bed was extremely comfortable, the room clean & spacious, the staff friendly, welcoming & helpful, and - importantly for me - the BART station was a close 3 minute walk away! I'd stay here again, for sure!
The bed was super comfortable. Room was very clean. Includes nice desk and microwave and fridge. Good access to BART.
The shower had one of those water saving devices on it, which only put out a trickle of water. It takes forever to wash yourself off. The silk flowers in the room have got to go...creepy and dusty...otherwise the room was great.
Decent price, comfortable bed, nice furnishings, free parking
I found hairs all over the bathroom and floor. Could've been cleaner. Needs a new microwave.
