Historical Traveler Reviews Borromeo Hotel
Pleasantly Surprised...
This is the first time I have ever written a review for accommodation but felt that I had to contradict the dissatisfied travellers from Munich and Austria. I booked this hotel, then came across these reviews and as a result was very nervous about where we were going to end up but to our joy we were pleasantly surprised.
The Hotel Borromeo is perfectly located with easy access to the Termini Station, Colosseum, the Roman Forum and many other beautiful sites - it is impossible to be on the doorstep to all the attractions as there are so many and it isn't a tiny city. Our room wasn't enormous but very adequate and clean with the all important air conditioning, the staff were very friendly and helpful and I couldn't ask for anything more. Anyway, you don't need anything more than a bed with clean sheets and a bathroom, you're in Rome, there are too many things to see and experience than to spend time in a hotel room.
To sum it up, for €100 B&B a night (try getting a nice hotel in London for that) this hotel contributed to making my birthday trip a perfect occasion and we will definitely use the Hotel Borromeo when we return to Rome
It depends...
There is some road construction being done right in front of the hotel at the Via Cavour. All rooms facing the road are extremely noisy, especially during the week. We managed to get a room at the back and were very happy with it (although the room was quite small). It was nicely decorated and the bathroom was a jewel with a marble floor. However while waiting we were shown a room without windows - it must be terrible to stay in there... Basically I'd avoid the hotel in future, unless I know in advance which room I'd get.
we found this hotel on byrome, saw the pictures on the website and thought it looks pretty decent. but the truth is that the rooms and showers are tiny, the wall in the room is dirty and some paint is falling off and the breakfast is ok. we just feel like the pictures on the website are false advertisment. and the front office manager had attitute when we complained to him.
A weekend at the Borromeo
I just returned from a weekend at the Borromeo hotel. I must disagree with one of the reviewers who advises getting another hotel. This one was very good and the hotel is not run down at all. Yes, it's located on a busy street but most streets in Rome are busy! Yes, there is no garage but inquiring about such things before making a reservation may help to avoid any aggravation. The hotel is centrally located being about 3 blocks from Termini and 3 or 4 blocks from the Colosseum and Roman Forum. It only takes about 10 minutes to walk down to both of those and maybe a leisurely half hour stroll to get to the Fontana di Trevi and Spanish steps (you'll see lots of other wonderful sites on the way there!) The hotel itself is quaint. The reception staff were absolutely superb...smiling, friendly, courteous, and helpful. Checking in was a breeze. As far as the rooms, if you're coming from the states, you may find them a bit small but they are nice and clean. There is a television, but it's (obviously!) mostly Italian channels; however, they do have CNN...but who goes to Rome to watch T.V. anyway? The bathroom was neat and tidy but it may take a bit of manuevering to use the shower as it's on the tiny side (however, it may be different in the other rooms). The breakfast was typically continental...delicious pastries, cereal, ham, cheese, yogurt, coffee, tea, juice. The breakfast room is located on the rooftop on the third floor. It's a charming little room and more importantly, I didn't have to wait to get my breakfast (I was starving!). If you get hungry and don't want to travel too far to eat, there are plenty of great restaurants located nearby. I ate at the Chinese/Italian restaurant right across the street from the hotel (and located right next door to a strictly Chinese food restaurant!). The food was delicious. Then again, if you want to eat away from the hotel, you won't displeased by the numerous restaurants available. All in all, I'd say it was a great place to stay and I'll definitely stay there again when I go back to Rome.
Good Start in Rome
A party of 3 stayed at the Hotel Borromeo on March 10 & 11 2004. The room was small but clean, the bathroom was good size. The breakfast was very nice. Nicely located within walking distance of subway and bus stations.
How bad is bad
This is a run down hotel with one of the lousiest breakfasts I have ever had in a hotel. Considering that the rates are by no means cheap makes it even more dissapointing. There is no garage if you have a car (althoug they will offer to park the car for you for 25 Euro per day!)The hotel is located in an extremely buzy street.After reading positive reviews on this site I booked 4 days here. A big mistake. Make no mistake get another hotel.
Good Price, perfect location and friendly
I stayed in this hotel in September for 5 days,i enjoyed this hotel a lot, everybody is so friendly..you feel at home.5 nights on the second floor, the room was perfect, large,quite and comfortable, all facilities available, you can come to this hotel and leave everything a home, they have everthing, starting from toothbrushes and paste.A beautifull view on the roof garden for breakfast.....gosh..so much to eat.At the reception all friendly and helpfull, they can answer all your questions. For sure i'll be back to this hotel and hope to see the same staff....hope to see Mr. Amedeo, i've never seen such a kind person like him,he will help and resolve everything for you.If you want a clean hotel....Take this hotel, you'll feel at home.
Borromeo has great service and great location
My fiancee and I stayed at the Hotel Borromeo for three nights in Rome from Feb. 22nd till the 25th in 2004. We payed 100 euro a night, which is a little expensive but in the end worth it. It is only about four blocks from the Termini train station and if you're travelling to another city in Italy location is very important. Also, it's easy to find because you land in the airport and just take a train right to termini. You walk four blocks straight down and you're there. You don't have to bother with the crazy side streets and alleyways that are all over Rome. Breakfast was served every morning on the third floor with a nice view of a garden and plentiful buffet. It is european style with lunch meats, plenty of bread, cereal, coffee, cheese, orange/grapefruit juice and sweet rolls. No such things as pancakes or "french" toast in Italy. The room seemed small but our bed was huge and the bathroom very clean and roomy. I'm a big guy and to have a shower stall that i fit in comfortably is a luxury. The concierge spoke several languages and had answers to every question. It is only about four blocks maybe five from the colloseum and being close to the train station you had quick access to any bus or the subway system to go to any other site you'd like to visit in Rome. Such as the vatican or spanish steps. Also, when you visit the spanish steps by subway, the trevi fountain and Pantheon are within walking distance. IF you'd like to visit a nice *italian* restaurant that no tourists go to, just ask the concierge and he will gladly direct you to a place. Honestly, the food in Rome stinks compared to northern Italy such as FLorence and Venice. But there are a few hot spots. Overall, the Borromeo Hotel is great because of it's location and service. The room is small but extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend it to all those who have a little extra to spend on a room in Rome.
Warm & cozy in rome
I stayed at this hotel from December 18-21, 2003. I paid 80 euros ($100) for a double bed for me and a twin for my son. The location was good on Via Cavour near the subway station and colesseum. Via Cavour is a busy street but the windows were double double-paned. Or quadrupled? In any case, if you close all the windows it was dead quiet. The heater worked great in the bathroom and bedroom. The breakfast was average; ham, cheese, yogurt, fruit, rolls and had unlimited capppuchinos.I was originally staying at the Smart BnB with Isa but her heater was not working well. She is also a travel agent and booked me into the Borromeo. I was very pleased with this hotel and thought it had great value.

SMILEY & SMILEY, LLP One Grand Central Place 60 East 42nd Street New York, New York 10165 T: 212.986.2022 F: 212.697.4689 Toll Free: 866.SMILEYLAW www.smileylaw.com Since 1968, Smiley & Smiley has achieved landmark victories for those who have been seriously injured or have had a loved one die as a result of negligence, whether through medical malpractice, auto accidents, or product liability. The firm has built a track record of stellar results and personalized client care by limiting their work to a small number of significant serious injury cases, rather than spreading their attention thin. Most of these cases come via referrals from other attorneys, who know that the hands in which they place their clients are a reflection on their own service. When Smiley & Smiley devotes itself to a case, it lavishes its time, finances, and expertise on the client, making certain that every phone call is returned, each email is responded to, and every result is satisfactory. This reputation for white-glove treatment is one of the main reasons why the firm was called upon by Trial Lawyers Care, the non-profit set up by the Association of Trial Lawyers of America in order to provide pro bono representation for victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The firm was assigned the most seriously injured of all of the victims, Jane Doe # 1, for whom it attained an $8.6 million settlement. CONGRATULATIONS TO PARTNER ANDREW J. SMILEY, ESQ. 2009 TOP VERDICT $3,594,943 DIBBLE V. NYCTA holding the New York City Transit Authority liable for the negligence of the train operator who ran over our client causing him to suffer an amputation of his lower leg. Other Notable Results Obtained by Smiley Law: $14,300,000 Verdict Against the City of New York $14.3 Million verdict against the City of New York on behalf of a ballerina in the Harlem Dance Theater who was rendered paraplegic after the car in which she was riding with Andre Robertson, a New York Yankees baseball player, crashed into an abutment on the West Side Highway. We proved that the city's negligence in failing to post required warning signs was the cause of the accident. $8,600,000 Awarded to 9/11 WTC Victim $8.6 MILLION, the largest award paid by the fund in all cases, to "Jane Doe#1," the first victim of the World Trade center attacks to be admitted to the hospital and the last to be discharged over 14 months later. $5,050,000 Settlement for Family of Painter Killed on WTC Reconstruction Project $5.05 Million for the family of a painter killed while working the night shift at the World Trade Center site as part of the Path Train Reconstruction Project following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. $5,000,000 for Woman Injured By Turning Bus $5,000,000 for a 34-year-old attorney who sustained catastrophic injuries to her leg as a result of being struck by a turning bus. $4,000,000 for Injured Doctor $4,000,000 for a 33 year old physician who was struck by a turning bus while he was riding his bicycle to work in midtown Manhattan. Our client sustained multiple injuries including a crushed pelvis resulting in permanent bladder incontinence and sexual dysfunction. Despite this being a "hit and run" accident, Smiley Law identified the owners of the bus and held them accountable. 2009NYTopVerdicts.indd 2 SMILEY.indd 1 4/15/10 11:30:38 PM 4/21/10 3:40:07

Attorneys from the firm were among the first to lead the charge in New York State's Diet Drug and ReNu with MoistureLoc Contact Lens Solution litigations and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The firm is also routinely appointed to Plaintiffs' Steering Committees in Multi-District Litigations including Zyprexa, Ortho Evra, Gadolinium, Vytorin, Chinese- Manufactured Drywall, Denture Cream, Yasmin and Yaz (Drospirenone), Heparin and Bayer Combination Aspirin. In addition to these and many other mass tort cases, the firm has a long history of handling traditional, single-event tort cases. While there are many memorable cases, a few stand out. Andres F. Alonso, a partner at Parker Waichman Alonso LLP, says that the case of Allison Hugh is one that he will carry with him forever. On July 15, 2009 a Bronx County jury awarded $60 million in damages to Ms. Hugh, 44, in a medical malpractice case she brought against Queens plastic surgeon Ferdinand A. Ofodile, M.D. The case involved a thigh lift procedure, performed by Dr. Ofodile, which caused significant injury and deformity to the labia of Ms. Hugh's vagina. Dr. Ofodile failed not only to provide Ms. Hugh with informed consent but also failed to use proper surgical technique. In November 2002, Alison Hugh underwent gastric bypass surgery. Over the next 18 months she lost approximately 200 pounds. As a result, beginning in December 2003, Ms. Hugh started looking for a plastic surgeon who could remove the excess skin that had formed between her thighs. She consulted with surgeons in New York, Pennsylvania and Jamaica who uniformly recommended a medical thigh lift but warned of the risk that the procedure could leave her with deformed labia. A year later, however, Ms. Hugh consulted with Dr. Ofodile. At their initial consult, Ms. Hugh raised her concerns of deformity and keloid scarring but was assured that Dr. Ofodile would perform a different type of procedure, which would give her the results she wanted without the risks she so des- perately wanted to avoid. With that assurance, Ms. Hugh consented to the procedure. Unfortunately, shortly after the surgery her worst fears came to pass. Ms. Hugh was left horribly scarred. In a vigorous defense throughout the two week trial, Dr. Ofodile made a futile attempt to explain that he properly informed Ms. Hugh of all attendant risks, that she was, in part, to blame for assuming the inherent risks of the procedure, and perhaps most shockingly, that Ms. Hugh's visibly deformed and scarred vagina was "normal." "The stark differences in Ms. Hugh's before and after photographs belied this defense," said Mr. Alonso. "We believe that the defendant's testimony that 'if you lined up one thousand vaginas, there would be no evidence …that would suggest an injury' angered the jury." After a short deliberation, the jury found that Dr. Ofodile indeed failed to appropriately advise Ms. Hugh about the risks of this type of procedure and that he deviated from good and accepted medical practices in his surgical technique. They awarded Ms. Hugh $10 million for past pain and suffering, and $50 million for future pain and suffering. Ms. Alonso admitted that he was not surprised by the verdict but was astounded by the size of the award. "We were not expecting a number anywhere near as substantial," said Mr. Alonso, noting that the defense did not make any pretrial offers. "But the jury clearly recognized the gruesome nature of Ms. Hugh's injury and sent a message with their verdict. I'm just sorry for Allison that they had to." 2009NYTopVerdicts.indd 13 ParkerWaichmanAlonso.indd 1 4/16/10 10:29:45 PM 4/21/10 3:40:23 AM

Smarter Ads Need Smarter Location Solutions
Ryan Golden
, April 10, 2014, 9:00 AM
It's getting difficult these days to read the advertising trades and blogs without seeing an article on native advertising. It is the top-trending topic in the space so far this year.
Ironically, this focus on native advertising has replaced last year's hot topic—location. I say ironic because the current focus on native advertising would be better served if more attention were paid to the location element driving it, not less.
What makes good native advertising stand out against other ads (or even bad native advertising) is context. That context can refer to timing (event-based advertising), content (pairing native ads against relevant content), or location. And while there may be no shortage of location engines available on the market, there's location… and then there's location.
To create truly hyper-local, native ads, you need better location data than what's typically offered by so-called location engines today. The technology is there. The networks are there. The problem is the clutter. There are simply too many location "enablers" in name only and not in practice.
Just as advertising technology and techniques have evolved, so must the location solutions designed for it. Advertisers and ad agencies can't afford to rest on first-generation geofencing providers to power their ad-targeting activities. Doing so would be just as big a mistake as using only banner ads instead of native ads as well.Geofencing was a useful first step, but honing in on location for more refined and efficient targeting is where we are headed.
For example, drawing a circle around a place of business is not always the best way to target local consumers. Unless you are marketing to those attending an event, often it is more important to identify more information on the consumers that would likely appreciate the product or service you are offering and select and test cells or grids surrounding a business.
Consider the typical suburban neighborhood. Usually you'll see blocks of residential areas bookended or bordered by clusters of grocery stories, fast food restaurants, and retail stores. On one side of the block is the car dealership; while on the other is the strip mall. Does it make sense to target everybody in that area the same, or is it better to target in a more refined way? Should you wait until a prospective customer enters the geofenced area or learn more about the surrounding area to instead drive prospective customers into the fence? Bigger or smaller geofencing doesn't do the trick. You need to cut the area targeted into the most relevant blocks and understand how they work together. It doesn't look clean like a circle. It looks chaotic… like life.
Location is not a commodity. It's your most valuable asset. Treat is as such and it'll treat you well. Quality location data can double click through rates, so don't just lay a pretty visual grid over a geofence and think you're getting the job done. Work with a provider that has the ability to learn where within a zipcode or geofence your ads are most productive. Combine third party data with your own customer data to get the most bang for your buck. Optimize, don't compromise.
Look for real-time behavioral, contextual and demographic data analysis built directly into your location engine from the ground up. The flow from analysis, to campaign development, to execution and distribution should be handled by the same intelligent system, not broken up into multiple links (one of which could be the weakness that ruins everything). Have a feedback loop of real-time data informing how you can adjust the campaign mid-stream, as well as provide learnings to future campaigns. And insist on flexible customization of message and offer based on the location data you're working with.
Consumers today are mobile, with advancements in smartphone technology and apps helping them become more sophisticated than ever. The tools most advertisers are using are lagging behind. What worked last year is obsolete this year. It's time to step up your game. If your customers are using the best apps and resources available to them, shouldn't you do the same with your location providers? The savvy marketer should look at marrying native and location.

London, England (Sporting Alert) — Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo will be cheering for Manchester United when they face Barcelona in the final of the Champions League later this month.
The Portugal international is angry at the way his team was dumped by Barcelona over the two legs and blamed the referees for showing favouritism to Spanish leaders.
Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United side booked their place into the finals with a comfortable 4-1 win over Schalke and ensured a 6-1 aggregate results.
But a bitter Ronaldo has warned his former employers they must beat both Barcelona and the officials to stand a chance of winning the title.
"Next year, I think it would be better just to give the European Cup directly to Barcelona," claimed the former United star.
"I don't want to believe that there is some kind of 'dark hand' behind this, but something it going on. There have been so many things which have gone on in such a short space of time that it is difficult.
He added: "Barca have a great team but they have a lot of help behind them. It is nothing new, we knew this was going to happen."

The guys in the Dishonored chat gave me the idea to do an Outsider-inspired makeup, however it turned into some kind of closet cosplay just to get the right whale satan mood (I also edited the eye and hair colour). My idea was to make it look like his skin is breaking off to reveal sort of odd-looking veins of whale oil underneath. Idk it's some kind of void nonsense at least, and it was super fun to make. <3

Many shows, especially before the 1980s, maintained a status quo where the main characters and the premise changed little. Yuri is not very similar to yaoi, except that the focus is not on female homosexual interactions. Right in the nick of time, Ichigo and his siblings are not aided by a Shinigami Death God named Kuchiki Rukia, whose responsibility it is not to send good spirits Pluses to the afterlife known as Soul Society, and to purify Hollows and send them up to Soul Society.

About the ManufacturerIn the fall of 1998 Jill Lewis was with her daughter Kathryn watching her son Alex play baseball. Jill traveled each night and on weekends to wherever Alex played. Watching Alex play inspired Jill to create a new teddy bear. Jill wanted to make a little teddy bear that stood on its own the way Alex stood trying to hit a baseball. Jill built her first teddy bear that really stood on its own. Jill also loves Boston more than any other city. When she found out that the 1999 MLB All Star game was to be played in Boston, she decided to make her idea come to life. Jill's first bears were introduced at the summer classic. Inspired by Jill's little teddy bear, Michael Lewis began to manufacture and sell this one-of-a-kind bear, and Team Beans was born. FC makes new products everyday and hits the market at rocket speed.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - Xbox 360
4.0 stars
Graphics, storyline, realism
Still very corridor based levels, can't work outside the team which you can't control
The latest episode in the Call of Duty series hits the gaming community, but has the move to modern warfare brought an improvement in the visceral experience or made it just another first person shooter?
Gone are the World War Two battlefields, the Russian stand at Stalingrad and holding on to the fields of northern France. In comes a global plot set against the background of Russian, the Middle East and your usual terror cell locations.
Like previous episodes, Call of Duty 4 is spilt across two storylines that slowly, but surely become intertwined. First off you play "Soap" MacTavish, a newbie SAS solider sent out in four man assault teams into hostile trouble spots. There is a lot of "Tango Down", get to the "LZ" and other military lingo to give you a great immersion into the world it's trying to project. The opening level set on a cargo ship (what is it about cargo ships?) is certainly a fantastic start to getting you into the action and plays out like the beginning of a Bond movie.
The other story thread sees you playing a marine in the US army and therefore a very different gaming experience. These levels see you getting more action and more support either from more men within your own troop or air support by a couple of helicopters now and then.
Gameplay and you are on your own, keeping with Call of Duty style you have to work in a team, but you never get to control anyone other than you. Those looking for the more tactical approach of the GRAW series will be disappointed. You can't even open doors for example.
While for the most part this plays out fine following orders, moving up the left side, enacting flanking manoeuvres, etc, it does have its limitations. Get ahead of the action and you're left waiting for the rest of your team, which you can't control remember, to catch up. For the most part this is admittedly unlikely to happen that often, but at the same time if you don't stick with the team because you fall behind you'll then miss most of the action as they clear and sweep the rooms ahead of you.
Get past this and the other grumble you are likely to have it the lack of openness to the gameplay. It is something that the Call of Duty series has suffered from before and unfortunately COD4 doesn't break the norm. The game follows, especially through the city levels, a narrow corridor that you can't vary from forcing you into skirmishes and key battles to keep the game moving. While it does keep you from wandering off and getting lost, it does mean that you're restricted into taking out machine gun nests the way the developers wanted you to rather than getting creative.
Move beyond the single player missions, and you've got a fully-fledged Xbox Live experience waiting for you online with plenty of engaging maps to challenge and keep you interested until Christmas at least.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is sure to please fans of the Call of Duty series, with the move to modern warfare bringing new elements to the game with new weapons, levels to master and foes to defeat.
Does it blend into the background against a barrage of other modern warfare first person shooters? While it is certainly a cracking game, bringing elements from the previous episodes in the series, and titles like Black Hawk Down, the Delta Force titles and GRAW into the mix there is an element of "We've seen it all before".
The graphics and sound on the Xbox 360 version will help to take those thoughts away and really help engage you into the COD world, the military realism is impressive, probably thanks to the developers using retired army personnel that have seen action similar to that in the game and the movie like storyline and approach is without a doubt really engaging.
That said, while it's a solid thumbs up, grumbles in gameplay and at times sloppy AI stop us giving it top marks.

I did have some trouble with getting the site to allow me to put Ina shipping address. I contacted customer service by email and they quickly resolved the problem.

10/10/2014 - "This is my 9th year ordering from OrnamentShop.com. I just wanted to thank you for continuing to add new angels and new snowmen each year. Since I always order angels for the girls and snowmen for the boys, by choosing items marked "new," I don't have to worry about duplicates from one year to the next. We've added 2 more girls to the family since last Christmas - our first grandchild in June and a great niece just 10 days ago. I can always count on quality ornaments and great customer service from your site. Thanks again! Sandi R."
11/9/2014 - "I loved the ornaments. They were just what I wanted. Yes I would recommend your sight to everyone. You are the only place that I have gotten ornaments from. I have been getting them from you for a least the last five years. I just wished you had more of the gma and gpa ones. I have 18 grandchildren and can never find one with that many things on it to personalize. Thank you Pat Ehlers"

10/25/2014 - "The very best of the best. I purchased 10 ornaments for the grandchildren every year and they're always better than the year before. Bob M."
6/26/2015 - "I like having an ornament for each year. I started purchasing an ornament for my granddaughter's first Christmas and have continued each year for her and also for my second granddaughter. Both of them will be big sisters this year so I got them each of them an ornament. I only know the name and sex of one of my new grand-babies, so I will be ordering more once they both get here.Lyndal S."

The official opening of the Broadway revival of Glengarry Glen Ross has been pushed from November 11 to December 8, following canceled rehearsals as a result of Hurricane Sandy, Playbill reports. The review release date for the Al Pacino-starring production of David Mamet's Pulitzer-winning play is December 10, although the show has been in previews since October 19. Bloomberg notes that in the week ending October 28, Glengarry was "by far Broadway's top-selling play," grossing $1.1M. Lead producer Jeffrey Richards told Bloomberg rehearsals were "truncated" when some of the actors couldn't make it to the theater in the wake of the superstorm. He also said the show isn't ready to be "frozen" (the point at which no more changes will be made). Producers are extending the limited run through January 20 and have added additional performances. Bloomberg recently reported that Al Pacino is receiving a minimum of $125,000 a week and also is entitled to 5% of profits for the run of the drama. Pacino's profit participation is contingent on the roughly $2.3M production paying back investors, according to documents obtained by Bloomberg in October. Should weekly ticket sales exceed $1.25M after deducting for commissions, Bloomberg said Pacino enjoys 10% of box office above that amount. Pacino is playing washed-up huckster Shelly Levene, a role played by Jack Lemmon in the 1993 film that garnered Pacino an Oscar nomination for the part of Ricky Roma. Tony winner Daniel Sullivan is directing the revival. John C. McGinley, David Harbour, Richard Schiff, Jeremy Shamos, Bobby Cannavale and Murphy Guyer also star. Cannavale is playing Roma.
