Can't beat the price. Great for those travellers that are just passing through and need a bed to crash for a night. The location is good too, right next to outlets and theater.
The rooms are very basic. Clean, but not squeaky clean. My room had a funky odor, like someone forgot to flush. The biggest drawback, however, is that there's no free wifi. $5 for 24 hrs of slow wifi.
just a bed & shower
Breakfast was decent. Staff were very friendly.
Not enough pillows, room reeked of bleach, mattress was very springy and old, landscapers woke us up at 7:30am while we were on vacation.
It was very clean. I used to be a maid so I look around quite a bit before setting down my bags and I was satisfied. Reasonable for price. Nice quick breakfast.
The front desk guy when I checked in wasn't overly friendly or anything. I kinda felt rushed like he had something better to do but maybe he was just having a bad day. also, it was hard to sleep at first with all the traffic from the 101.
Comfortable beds, cleanliness, spacious room.
Thin walls (I could hear the elevator on the other side of our wall and children in the hall). The extra-cost breakfast service closed at 9:30am (too early).
Location and Staff
The hotel and rooms were absolutely filthy. The carpet was so bad we felt it was unsanitary to walk on it barefoot.
Breakfast was freshly cooked. Staff is nice
Rolls of new carpet congested the dining area. I woke up with bug bites on my arms and hands. They are still irritated. When I checked out I told the staff who said management would contact me but they have not. They allow pets on the first floor but I stayed on the third floor.
Old. Run down
Good price, if you just need a place for the night.
It was central for our purposes
We kept losing hot water during showers and the breakfast was lacking.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, attractive, and functional. It was in a quiet location. There were many services within a short walking distance. The appliances worked properly. There was a very nice pulsating shower head.
The bed was more firm than we like.
Location, Staff. Last trip was a 4 star experience this time is was a 1 star.
Under construction, no discount, no fridge or microwave in room. Black out curtains missing.no waste can in room only in bathroom. Could hear guest walking around above me.No ice tea or soft drinks offered at breakfast,
GREAT room for the price. Everything was nice and new and clean.
The single elevator was a pain and the stairs were not conveniently lovated.
Free parking, close to freeway, free buffet breakfast....
can't change T.V. channel as per hotel policy even if NO ONE else is there..
No hot water Sunday morning
It was easy to get in and out of and it was clean.
I thought it would include breakfast but the front desk said it wasn't included because I booked it on hotels.com. The price was the same as if I were to book it on their website so that made no sense. The beds weren't that comfortable. The electric plug next to the bed was broken so I couldn't plug my phone in to charge there. It was okay for 1 night but I don't think I would stay longer than that. It reminded us of the small hotels in Europe. Very basic... Also there is very limited parking. We arrived kind of late to check in and we had to park on the street.
The location is great, close to Old Town and the Outlet Mall.
Seriously the most uncomfortable bed I have ever had at a hotel. Ruined the stay. Too bad, because the staff was very nice, the room was clean, and the location convenient. But if you cant get a good nights sleep, you are miserable
Nice employees
Pool closes too early
Rooms were on the small side, but still cozy. A comfortable bed and hot shower with neutragena bath products was nice
The workers at the front desk could you a tremendous amount of improvement.
The girl who helped us check in was nice. The bed was super comfy, very nice location as well
I did not like how there were about 3 employees at the front desk, not doing anything. A supervisor even came out and she was talking to one of the employees instead of helping us check into our room. There was a very big moth in the room (crazy right?) and that seems dirty to me. When we were leaving, not once did the girl at the front desk ask how our stay was when I asked her if we needed to check out before we left.. But whatever I guess.. People just don't have great customer service
It was right off the freeway.
I had to kill 2 roaches, found cigarette burns in the sheets of my nonsmoking room which smelled like stale smoke, the mini fridge did not work, there were stains on the walls & ceilings and the carpet was sticky. We checked in late, slept in our clothes, and immediately left when we got up the next morning. It was pretty gross.
Didn't like that there were no deadbolts on the doors, I defiantly didn't feel safe and secure.
We enjoyed the beautiful grounds
The room service through the restaurant was poor. Or food took 1.5 hours, was cold, and the burger was undercooked
was older but clean-staff was great
When I complained about being disturbed by a noisy group of guests nearby, the staff handled the situation immediately.
I liked the fact that the room had a small fridge & microwave to keep the kids waters cold for their soccer tournament the next morning and that breakfast was an option downstairs before our big day
The cleanliness of the room
The location of the building

Chevy makes way for Michigan-built Sonic subcompact
By Jim Hagerty
Staff Writer
General Motors Co. announced last week it has a name for its latest line of subcompact cars.
The Chevy Sonic, to be built in Michigan, will replace the Korean-built Aveo, execs said Friday, Dec. 10. The car will compete with the Ford Fiesta and Hyundai Accent, both leaders in the U.S. subcompact market.
The European version of the Sonic was revealed at the 2010 Paris Auto Show and was known as Aveo. The U.S. version is slightly larger and features upgraded interior and exterior designs. The Sonic will be officially unveiled at the 2011 Detroit International Auto Show in January 2011. The line is expected to be in showrooms by the beginning of the 2012 model year.
According to G.M., the Sonic won't be the most powerful car on the road. Boasting engines no larger than 115 horsepower, the line will consist of basic, entry-level vehicles with limited option packages.
Sonic, however, will be available in sedan and hatchback versions.
General Motors North America President Mark Ruess said the company has been considering redesigning the Aveo and changing its name since October. There was considerable market confusion with the name, Ruess said, mostly with how to pronounce "Aveo."
General Motors filed for a trademark for the name "Chevrolet Sonic" Oct. 5.
"The Sonic represents a new beginning for Chevrolet in the small-car segment," U.S. marketing chief for Chevrolet, Chris Perry, said. "So, we felt it was time to give it a new name. The new car is roomy, stylish and fun to drive, and Sonic is a youthful, energetic name that helps convey what this vehicle is all about."
The Sonic name will not be associated with Sonic Automotive, Inc., a Chevy dealership based in North Carolina, which owns 100 stores.
The Sonic will be built in Orion Township, Mich., about 35 miles north of Detroit. General Motors was scheduled to close the plant until UAW concessions were worked out in the company's 2009 bankruptcy reorganization. The Orion Township facility will also produce the Buick Verano, a compact sedan, also slated for a 2012 release. The company has agreed to invest more than $500 million to retool for both models.
From the Dec. 15-21, 2010 issue

I know I've said this before, but how cool would've it been to live in the 60s? Feels like they had design figured out back then, so simple and so elegant.

Great customer service. Front staff helped relocate us when our original room's carpet was still wet from cleaning earlier in the morning. The second room had a cigarette smell to it even though it was a non-smoking room, but the third room was great.
The pool was great and the breakfast was too.
THe parking and the location of the stairs.
The price was reasonable. We needed a place to stay in a remote part of Texas, and the motel was there.
The room was quite rundown. The exterior was rundown. The motel was shabby. On the other hand, it was not expensive.
The staff did have an attitude that 'the guest are lucky to be there '! They were not helpful at ALL. The room had molds all over the bath tub was so dirty , the door scraches and mold on it , I took many pictures if someone to look at , but the rudeness
Very clean. Nice folks working there. Breakfast was well done - a cut above
Clean, friendly staff
Coffee maker dirty, snack machines empty, drink machine empty of several options.
Room was dirty, and I asked for non smoking, and the room reeked of smoke.I had a hard time sleeping there. I won't be staying there again.
nothing, it smelled so bad we didn't sleep there
Dirty and smelled terrible for a smoking room. Mold in shower. Half of electrical outlets didn't work. Iron was filthy. Definitely not a 2star facility.
The hotel did not look anything like the picture. For the price we paid, I expected a little more. The room was dirty. The towels didn't look clean And there was a bar of soap with hair on it left on the sink.
I arrived early and they were able to take me in before check in time. They had my confirmation readily available. I just had to provide my name.
Chairs in the room were dirty. Filled with what appeared to be makeup. Thank goodness I didn't sit on it would have stained my pants. The phone cord was ripped and there was no way for me to make a call out. Seem like something from a horror movie.
spacious room with adequate furnishings bed was comfortable & bathroom shower stallwas very niice
finding the outdoor pool closed, a tissue in the sheets, light bulbs were burned out and no breakfast as advertized
The bed was hard
location and the nanme
room, staff, price wouldn't even recommend to a homeless
Nothing really...
Nothing really. Except my door cards didn't open my door so I had to go to office to open door..
Very clean, young lady at the desk was very helpful, she provided a map of the city and helped us find a restaurant. Breakfast was good and good selection. Overall a very good place to stay.
Great hotel, very clean, fast check in.
Weather in Kingsville is horrible!
This was an unplanned stop on the way to South Padre.This is a great hotel for the price.Very clean hotel and room.Huge free hot breakfast.Free WiFi.
Convenient to activity planned. Rooms were clean and decorated well. Breakfast was nice.
Some of the staff at this hotel is very rude. We were not informed of the pet policy, and were confronted with demands and threats to pay an extraordinary high amount of money after the fact, when a simple explanation of policy would have sufficed
That is was in Bishop.
Was given a king size bed versus 2 beds. Don't understand when given the amount of 2 people, they assume it's man and wife. It was for my brother and I. I had to pay $15 upgrade for 2 beds.

Previously, in very high data volume scenarios, users had to build and manage numerous linked QlikView documents supported by QVD files. These QVD files are a local QlikView data storage mechanism and in order to achieve the required performance with very large data sets it was necessary to create a hierarchy of aggregation. This approach is less than ideal as it introduces constraints in the flexibility of the analysis possible.
QlikView now incorporates Direct Discovery functionality which permits it to leverage the very high performance of the Vectorwise database for calculating aggregates on-the-fly over very large datasets. This approach removes the requirement to build pre-calculated aggregates within QVDs and permits the highly flexible analysis approach which has made QlikView so popular.
Differentia Consulting believes that Vectorwise offers a superior level of manageability, simplicity as well as analytic performance when compared to other database solutions. Furthermore, thanks to the QlikView Direct Discovery functionality, users can extend their use of QlikView applications by implementing Actian Vectorwise as the underlying analytic database in high volume usage cases that demand; speed, agility and system governance.
"I see Vectorwise as the enabler of Big Data access from our clients' perspective. We needed an analytic database that we could offer our clients where large data volumes were making deploying QlikView non viable. For us, Vectorwise was the logical solution; being agile and rapid is key," commented Adrian Parker, vice-president strategy and marketing at Differentia Consulting.
"Differentia Consulting is a key solution provider in the European BI marketplace and has been successful in helping businesses benefit from QlikView technology," commented Sean Jackson, marketing director EMEA at Actian. "By offering Vectorwise, Differentia Consulting is now extending their reach and helping more enterprises benefit from faster and simpler big data analytics and reporting. No longer do QlikView users need to be constrained by the amount of data they can analyze; with Vectorwise, the amount of data can grow exponentially, which means that users can analyze and report on more data than ever before. We look forward to working with Differentia Consulting to take this proposition to the QlikView installed base."

L.A.M.B. Navajo Cheyenne Tote
|By: Michelle M.
I still have a lot of mixed feelings about cultural appropriation in handbags, and the L.A.M.B. Navajo Cheyenne Tote is no exception—especially considering that poorly researched name and Gwen Stefani's questionable cultural sensitivity. Still, I'm fond of the warm, sunset colors and flexible day to night style; this tote would go seamlessly from jeans and a sweater to an evening appropriate black dress. If it doesn't bug you, it's $328 at Macy's.

My Enlistment
A story by
Harley L. Sachs
I figured serving the country was a good thing. Freedom isn't free and all that. The country needs you. All that stuff the recruiter said when he came to our high school. And there'd be a signing bonus. It would be a good start for college. I never had so much money. So my buddy Tony and I signed up.
I thought Basic Training was a kick. Lots of marching around, uniforms, lectures, PT—that's Physical Training--and the firing range. I got to be a fair shot even though we never had a piece in the house. In the army we don't call them guns. Guns are on battleships and we don't have battleships in the navy anymore. They don't even call them rifles. Your piece. Night vision. The latest.
Tony washed out. Too many Big Macs. He was overweight. Couldn't run. Couldn't do the pushups. He was a better shot than me, too. I guess he got all that practice playing Full Metal Jacket, the computer game. Great reflexes. They sent him home.
So one minute we were on an army air transport, new boots, body armor, full field pack, the whole bit. Seventeen hours later we were in Kuwait for more training. To get used to the desert heat. Man, it's a different world over there. But you got to do what you got to do. Like they told us, freedom isn't free and we have to defend our country.
When the commanders felt we were ready we were flown "in country" like they say. No convoy, just those big helicopters. Up, up and away in the dust and heat to Faluja. One minute we were in Oregon, then in Kuwait, then in Iraq. It's tough to adjust. If you drive across the United States it's gradual, like, you drive through the forests, over the mountain pass, into the high desert of Eastern Oregon, then Idaho and the great plains and you get to watch the landscape change, gradual so you adjust to the differences and it's no surprise when you get to Chicago or Indiana. You leave the Oregon rain behind and after awhile it's dry and different. But in the Army, well, it's sudden. I don't think I ever got there, mentally, I mean.
Someone said that it takes a year to move. Your heart is still at your old address and you don't feel in tune yet to the new place, whatever it is. I know I never had time to get in tune with Iraq. That tent and the mess hall with the Indonesian contractors dishing out the meals was never home. There was just our unit and my squad, a bunch of what my grandfather used to call grunts trying to take care of each other, to keep each other safe, you know. Except you're never safe. You never know when a mortar round's going to drop in like an uninvited guest. BANG! Middle of the night, any time.
I think it's psychological warfare, or the enemy are just lousy shots. Their plan must be to break you down, keep you from getting a decent night's sleep.
My Dad was in Vietnam, but he never talks about it. He did one tour there, got a Purple Heart. He never wears a bathing suit, won't go the beach, doesn't want to explain how he got the scar on his back. All he ever said about the war was that if you kill somebody you lose your soul. He can tell. He says he knows the look. Like there's a veil over the eyes. Never goes away. The horror.
I understand it, now. He was right. Dad always gives something to the homeless Vietnam vets begging on the corners downtown. They have that look, too.
I don't talk about my wounds, either, especially not to the old vets I see at the VA hospital in their embroidered baseball caps and old clothes. At the hospital when I got back they asked me, do you have trouble sleeping, have bad dreams, loss of memory, anxiety attacks, can't concentrate? Like one of those tests where you mark the little square for "all of the above." All of the above. That's me. It's so common now they have an abbreviation for it. P.T.S.D.
That's why I get disability. Sometimes a smell sets me off, like blood or a car backfires and I hit the dirt. Can't work. Nightmares. Wake up screaming. I got a job driving a delivery truck but didn't last one day. It was garbage day, all those containers people put out at the curb. Every one of them I thought was an IED, improvised explosive device, a bomb. I couldn't drive. Just sat there scared to death, in a sweat, remembering. They fired me.
When my Humvee got hit I got a concussion, but I was lucky. Took some shrapnel, but survived. The other guys didn't. You don't know what it's like when your best buddy is blown to bits or bleeds to death in the road while you're trying to return fire.
You know how it is: the insurgents watch and set off the IED, then wait for a squad to come to the rescue so they can kill them, too, damned ragheads. When a helicopter is called in the insurgents disappear,. That's how it is, over and over again.
There's no front line and the enemy doesn't wear a uniform, so you don't know who's who and you get to the point where you can't trust anybody and you're so up tight and scared and angry that you just do the job you are trained for. Someone fires from a house. You kick in the door, toss in a grenade to neutralize whoever's inside, then go in.
That's when you find the collateral damage, the women and the kids. It's easier if they're already dead. If they're dying and you can't do anything to save them you have to watch and remember forever,. Little kids. Women. How were we to know? We found an AK47 in the place, but anyone over there who isn't armed can't defend himself or his family and is as good as dead. We'd do the same thing if we were in their shoes.
Now I can't look at a kid at the mall without seeing those children and smelling the blood and the guts hanging out of the torn bodies and wondering why I was there and how those people were a threat to my freedom.
They sent me home. Germany, Walter Reed, and back to Oregon. Since I didn't complete my tour and was in Iraq only a couple of months before I was injured, they won't pay me the signing bonus after all. I think it's a crock, but go fight the government. The VA says I quality for only 70% disability. The physical wounds have healed pretty well, though I get therapy for my arm and I couldn't march if ordered. The money isn't enough to live on, like how do you pay rent and keep a car in this town on so little? For now I'm living with my folks, but my mother can't stand to see someone my age just hanging around the house and watching TV.
With the medication they give me at the VA I can't drink, and I don't smoke which is just as well because cigarettes are so expensive. I'm trying to get into HUD low income housing, and maybe I can do that, but those places have rules. If I get panic attacks or they find me, like happened the other day, lying on the bathroom floor in a fetal position, I might get kicked out and moved into a group home. I couldn't stand living with a bunch of retards. I'd rather kill myself. I'm not that desperate. Not yet anyway.
I'd like to find that recruiter. Freedom isn't free. I just wonder, at times, whose freedom are we talking about? Not mine. That's for sure.

The report came just a day after Blackberry said it would cut 4,500 jobs, or 40% of its workforce, in the face of hefty losses and weak sales of its new handsets.
Lazaridis and co-founder Jim Balsillie handed over the reins of the company in January 2012 under pressure from shareholders unhappy with the company's performance.
News of the layoffs show BlackBerry's efforts at reviving its fortunes are a stunning failure and push the once high-flying firm one step closer to extinction, analysts said.
BlackBerry said it expects a loss of $950 to $995 million (700 million to 735 million euros) in the second quarter mostly due to writedowns linked to poor sales of its Z10 smartphone, the device aimed at competing against Apple and Android devices.
The company's highly-publicised launch of the BlackBerry 10 platform earlier this year failed to ignite sales. The company has said it is examining "strategic alternatives," including a possible sale of the company.
