Got a Macallan 12 and I must say, it's probably my favorite so far with the Glenfiddich 12 next, then the Glenlivet 12 and then the Macallan 10 Fine Oak.
Still deciding on the Laphroaig, but I'm starting to like it; it's totally different from these speysides, and it's kind of refreshing.

MPEG compression is what is used for DVD's, so that is not the problem. I would be happy w/ DVD quality channels.
I'm not trying to be argumentative... and I agree DVDs look better than most of the digital SD on satellite or cable... but MPEG compression is still a loss-based compression algorithm. In theory, and without being too technical, MPEG attempts to "average" changes in the picture out and has a formula by which it "throws away" pixels that are deemed to be less noticable.
Even the best (including Superbit DVDs) still have flaws that you can see if you have a large enough TV and good enough eyesight. You just don't notice it as much as you do on satellite where the compression is turned higher.
Problem is, they need to compress it somewhat or we'd only be able to have a fraction of the channels we have... and like you, for SD I can be happy most of the time with DVD quality if that's what they would leave the compression at... but history is proving that isn't going to happen.
We can only cross our fingers that MPEG4 lets them have their bandwidth and we get an improved picture as well... but I'm not ready to hold my breath just yet.

Very central, clean and good price
The breakfast could have been better. Not much choice but pancakes or cold cereal
Excellent property with even better customer staff! Staff was not only gracious but very accommodating.
The ONLY adverse comment I can make, the pillows are too big. Each queen bed has 3 or 4 pillows. Perhaps at least one pillow could be a slim variety.
Location and ease of check in/out.
Cost - WAY too high.
It was very clean and comfortable. The beds aren't the softest, but I still slept great. The hot breakfast was delicious!
The pool had a little too much chlorine.
The staff was friendly. The computers didn't work, apparently.
Old diaper in the trash from the previous guest
The staff was very professional and pleasant. The breakfast area was clean and well stocked. Close to town and decent parking area.
The toilet seat cover was cracked with a failed repair attempt. The shower curtain would not stay closed due to sagging rod. The shower head made a loud squealing sound. The bathroom wallpaper was peeling and moldy. The mattress was old and uncomfortable, The internet went out twice in 2 days. There was nowhere to plug in the coffee maker so it had to be moved to use. The carpet needs to be replaced, as does the A/C (it worked, though). The towels were tiny and worn. The message light on the phone flashed continuously.
Extreme value for the price. $55 including all taxes and fees. Quiet hotel, polite staff, decent breakfast bar About what you'd expect in this price range. included microwave and refrigerator (added bonus). I will probably stay here again.
Mildew in shower. Hot tub was broken. Only 2 sets of towels were placed in the room, but more were available when requested.
The rooms and beds were clean and comfortable, hotel was located in the middle of Boone so there was a lot to do all around, and the staff were very helpful and kind.
The breakfast wasn't very good, there was a ceiling leak in the hallway, the hot tub was closed, and the exercise room TV didn't have channels.
Plenty of room to spread out. Hotel has a very reasonable and accommodating pet policy though we weren't traveling with one. There were many who did, but they didn't disturb. Porch was a nice touch. Didn't use pool, but it seemed nice. Breakfast was good. Parking was a bit crouded. Go Mountaineers!!!
Quiet, Clean and Comfortable!
All was good!
Went up to Banner Elk to snowboard and absolutely loved this hotel! Very clean, nice staff, affordable and great location
Location. Hotel is cute.
The pillows and mattress were uncomfortable, air vent too loud, I have stayed at other facilities where the vent is noisy, this one was the loudest. The phone was dusty. I feel that I paid too much for what I got.
My husband and I had a great one night stay experience. We brought our now 3 year old son to Blowing Rock to celebrate his birthday. Everything went according to plan and all of our expectations were met. The best part about our stay was the location. We took our son to Tweetsie Railroad Park which was literally right down the road from the hotel. There was also a lot of restaurants and stores close by. Another good thing about our stay was the location of our room. I was so nervous about how our toddler would respond to staying at a hotel as this was his first time. He did fine, but let's just say I'm glad that our room was located on the first floor and I believe we were among other families with children too. Not sure if this was planned by the staff or not, but it definitely worked for us! All overall everything was great including the breakfast. Prior to selecting this hotel I read a lot of other reviews about how good the breakfast was. They were all right. It wasn't perfect, but better than most hotels (regarding the selection of food). We will definitely be staying here again!
Quiet and clean
Upon going there at 9pm, they charged a resort fee $15, which was not made aware at booking. Small room, not great view as described. Most of all the television was very small and was surprised to see that people still have these old televisions. The drive was good during the day, but on our way to the hotel at night, it was scary and the hotel entrance was not clear, so we drove past and had to come back.
We was a wonderful vacation and everything excellent service. The hotel did the best service that we was very comfortable and everything good.
The staff was exceptionally friendly. The free continental breakfast was my favorite because of the variety of foods they had. They had waffles, muffins, yogurt, toast, bagels, breakfast sausage biscuit, hardboiled eggs, and fruit.
Great value!! Clean, big room with regular hotel amenities. Free parking, WiFi, and breakfast was an added bonus. Only complaint is that the rooms have screen doors that slam and woke us up a few times. I'd stay again. Can't beat the location in Blowing Rock!
The property was well maintained and very clean. The decor was pleasing and someone had obviously taken the time to decorate with good taste. The staff was very helpful, even if they didn't have the answer to a question, they tried to attain it. There were lots of towels! The comforter on the bed was wonderful and the bed itself was great.
This is an "old style" motel. You park outside your door. Though well maintained and attractive, it is hard to escape the tiny bathroom. There is a small glass shelf above the bathroom sink. With 2 people in the room it is difficult to fit toothbrushes and shaving gear on the shelf let alone such things as makeup. Someone took great pains to make the room attractive, but the lovely big throw pillows had no place to go after they came off the bed. This could be a great property if the owner spent a night in one of the rooms to see how logistically it is difficult. At some point it would be great if the HVC wall unit was replaced with something a little less intrusive.
The tub was dirty and the caulking was black or missing
No work out facilities
I wanted to use the swimming pool. The water was cold and I don't believe anyone else was using the pool. I thought I was going to pay one price but the actual bill was around $35.00 more. I can get the same value room for a cheaper price. I stayed there because it was close to my activities.
The owners and staff were very helpful and friendly. They provided good recommendations for places to eat and things to do. The rooms were clean and well kept with nice antique furniture. Motel was within 100 yards of several restaurants and shops.
Bathrooms are very small and had no bathtub. Walls were thin enough that you could hear a lot of what was going on in the room next to you. There was no thermostat on the window mounted heater, so temperature in the room was hard to control.
This hotel is located within walking distance of downtown Blowing Rock and many restaurants. Very friendly staff. Very nice garden area visible from all rooms. Very nice to see that 'mom and pop' hotels still exist rather than the generic hotel chains.
Cleaniiness. Beds were excellent.
So disappinted that the facility did not have a jacuzzi. The other Comfort Suites where we have stayed had jacuzzis and this is the reason that I selected CS of Boone. Traffic made it very difficult to get in and out .
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Error: "Cannot open scalar results file" in Simulation CFD
Nov 1, 2014
After running several iterations, the solution stops and one of the following error messages appears:
Error: Cannot open scalar results file for write access <filename>.gls_
Error: Cannot open vector results file for write access <filename>.glv_
During each iteration, the Solver writes data files to the disk that are read by the User Interface. Some of these files contain graphical data for the run-time results display. Others update the output files such as the Status and Solver files. If these communication is blocked by certain processes then files might get corrupt.Solution:
These messages mean that the Solver was unable to write to the .gls_ or the .glv_ file. These contain the run-time scalar and vector results data that is displayed during the analysis.There are several potential causes and solutions for this error:
- Check to make sure that any backup software is not trying to back up the analysis at the same time it is trying to solve.
- Check your virus software. Some virus protection systems block a process that tries to open and close files too often or too quickly. This is because many viruses operate this way. The problem is that through an analysis, Autodesk® Simulation CFD opens and closes several files as it updates them with new results. Add an exception for the root working directly to skip scanning and modify your virus software to allow full access for:
- SimCFD.exe
- SimCFDMesher.exe
- SimCFDMonitor.exe
- SimCFDServer.exe
- SimCFDServerManager.exe
- SimCFDSolver.exe
- This could be due permissions on the directory. Ensure that you have write privileges to the folder that contains the analysis.
- The file may be in use by another process. Make sure that another instance of this same analysis is already running.
- The hard drive could be full. Check the amount of available disk space on the drive containing the analysis.
Check firewall and security software to ensure that Autodesk® Simulation CFD can write to the folder containing the analysis. - Try closing the User Interface after the job starts and see if the solver still has trouble writing to this file.

Last week I spent the day at Newport Beach for work. Being there early in the morning during a weekday was very peaceful. This city holds a very special place in my heart since we know some very special people there (Hi Shari!). And of course, who can forget Balboa! Have you been to Newport before? What place holds a special place in your heart?
