BedandBreakfast.com scopes out exciting interactive culinary adventures
Austin, TX -. Passing up beaches for berries, more than 27 million Americans have enjoyed culinary vacations in the last three years, according to a February, 2007 study released by Travel Industries of America (TIA) in conjunction with Gourmet and other magazines; nearly half of those seeking culinary getaways chose their destination for the food and wine experiences awaiting them. To respond to this trend, BedandBreakfast.com editors have searched for culinary escapes that go beyond cooking school classes. Find a bushel of packages below where B&B guests relish the relish, becoming an integral part of the culinary experience while enjoying relaxing getaways offered by BedandBreakfast.com members.

'This Town' puts D.C. under witty, insightful, sobering microscope
The clubby political world of Washington, D.C., as Mark Leibovich describes it in "This Town," resembles WWE a little: faces and heels acting out story lines of intense conflict while all working together to get rich.
"A gold rush has enthralled the place," Leibovich writes. "It has, in recent years, become a crucible of easy wealth, fame, forgiveness and next acts. Punditry has replaced reporting as journalism's highest calling, accompanied by a mad dash of 'self-branding,' to borrow a term that had now fully infested the city." »Read Full Article
Fresh Cut Collective, Klassik, Unifi Records, Blax & more from SXSW 2014
South by Southwest 2014 kicks off its music shows tomorrow, and Milwaukee will be representing in full force. With the MilwaukeeHome stage showcasing more than 25 Milwaukee artists in one day and even more artists performing on their own, 2014 is poised to be the best year yet for Milwaukee representation at SXSW.
Neither Jank nor myself had the energy to go down to Austin ourselves, so we outsourced our work to other people who actually work. Fresh Cut Collecitve, Klassik, Unifi Records and Blax have been kind enough to agree to live blog their entire trip and showcase it on our blog. More artists will join soon, so hopefully we can get everything you need to see. This will be a first hand account of what the SXSW experience is all about, without the holograms. »Read Full Blog Post

Eau Claire writer Nickolas Butler launches 'Shotgun Lovesongs' here Tuesday
Eau Claire writer Nickolas Butler visits Milwaukee's Boswell Book Company Tuesday to launch his debut novel, "Shotgun Lovesongs" (Thomas Dunne). He arrives with some significant wind in his sails.
" 'Shotgun Lovesongs' is about a hometown in Wisconsin and the close band of friends who will always feel its magnetic pull," explains Janet Maslin in her New York Times review of the novel. "One of the friends is a rock star, and Mr. Butler didn't have to make that up. He went to high school with Justin Vernon, lead singer of Bon Iver. And it doesn't hurt for a book about a poky farm community to have a rock star lodged somewhere in its collective history." »Read Full Blog Post

Location highlightsAirport nearby
No service, No attentionAttention at front desk was absolutely negligent and unkind. Were no interest in solve our request for a rollaway additional bed. Before check-in we had chance to look into a room from the parking lot and overall apparience was very bad and specially filthy. At check-in we asked for the best keep room available and we were textually informed " all rooms are the same, this is an old place", so we left, lost our payment and stay one block away to our full satisfaction At Ihop kids eat free from 4:00 pm to 10:00pm. with any main course kids are entitled to any free mealRating:2
You get what you pay forThe TV had lines in it. The room smelled musty. The clock was broken.Rating:1
not impressedit was the worst hotel I have been in. The room was disgusting there was a pair of jeans in the room that did not belong to me. there was hair all over the bath tub, it was horrible,
Travelers tip on saving a few bucksfree sutttle to the airportRating:3
Not immpressedI had the opportunity to be hosted in a Days In in Fargo ND, and it was a nice experience. I was expecting the same in Miami, but the condition and maintenance of this hotel was not the best. The tourism guide was a valuable tool to find nice places to visit there.Rating:1
Not happy at allThe hotel room had a musty smell. The plaster was coming off the wall. We didnt have a remote control for the TV. Good thing we were only staying there for one night.Rating:3
Good but need to improve phonic isolationThis hotel is very convenient for catching an early flight from MIA airport at a very reasonnable price.I would recommand to invest in phonic isolation..without the air con on ,it is hard to get asleep and rest . The room is clean and confortable ..but noisy.Rating:1
Yuck!I NEVER give a bad review to a hotel because I think many people are too picky. This place is the filthiest place I have ever stayed. We did not feel safe leaving our things in the room to go out to get breakfast. We got in at midnight and figured we just needed a place to lay our head. We checked out the bed to make sure there were no bed bugs, plus we would not take off our shoes when walking around. The bathroom was disgusting! Spend more money and go somewhere else...even if its just to sleep a few hours. I wish we had!Rating:1
Horrible experiencedirty, dirty, dirty!! The worst hotel Ive ever stayed!Rating:1
Worst hotel i have stay inThe room was filthy.There was bugs thru out the room.I suggest you quit reccomending this hotel.Rating:4
Alright for one nightHotel offers shuttle service to port for any cruise you might have. However, the shuttle stops at several other hotels so we were packed in the van like sardines. Other than that, it was decent for the price.Rating:3
OK for quick stayThe Hotel was very close to the airport. The shuttle seemed to take a long time to come get us. The room was in a different building than the registration office and the directions we received to get to our room were vague. We ended up having to ask a security guard how to get to it. It was inexpensive and convenient since we were arrived late and left early.
Travelers tip on saving a few bucksFree 24 hour airport shuttle and low ratesRating:3
Good airport location for costThe room was spacious and comfortable. The bar was open but restraunt closed.Rating:2
Smells like an ashtrayI booked this hotel for an 8 hour (1am - 9am) layover at Miami airport, and I purposely booked one of the cheapest options that included a free shuttle to and from MIA. So I wasnt expecting much. But my (non-smoking) room still stank like an old, damp ashtray. The bed linens and bathroom were clean, but I was nervous about the carpet. It was so bad that even though I spent about 6 hours (max) in the hotel, any clothes I had removed from my suitcase smelled like damp cigarettes. I didnt try to change rooms (I couldnt be bothered, I just wanted to get what sleep I could). The staff were really friendly and helpful, and unlike the airport there was at least a clean bed and shower.
Travelers tipIts better than spending a 1am-9am layover in the airport - but not by much.Rating:3
Never again!Important services cost extra! Internet access cost $5 minimum and then 45 cents/minute. Each telephone call was charged, even to toll-free numbers. The room smelled heavily of chemicals. It was no bargain.Rating:4
Nice UpgradeThey upgraded our room without asking, from a double to a king which was great. But they forgot the cribe we requested, though thankfully they still had one. The transfer from the airport to the hotel and the hotel to the port was hassle free and minimized the worry.Rating:5
Very clean hotel and friendly workersWe stayed here after a cruise and basically wanted a place to sleep by the airport. It was very clean and the people were friendly. I do have to encourage you to go to the lounge, "Hot Rod Bobby" was a blast, me and my husband had a fun cheap evening down there! He made our stay very fun.Rating:4
clean & affordableStaff were very nice and accommodating. Our arrival was delayed 14 hours, our room was stil available, and the shuttle picked us up within minutes after arrival. Room was clean and in good repair. Basic, affordable housing, nothing fancy, convenient to airport and meeting site. Free airport shuttle every hour.Rating:3
Ok for a couple of nights, Do not expect muchThis Hotel is good for a quick stay, maybe for transit. The front desk clerk at the night shift should take a customer service lesson. The shuttle service from the airport at 1 am never showed, I had to call them.Rating:3
You get what you pay forA decent hotel if youre not staying long. You get a nights sleep and transportation to and from the airport and port. Thats what we needed. I didnt expect much for the price I paid, so I wasnt too disappointed by the accomodations.Rating:3
As expected for this rateGoodRating:1
Never go back again to this hotelFirstly when I Arrived to this hotel I realized that didnt have elevator available. Despite we were three persons, the room assigned had just one bed. Additionally, sink faucet didnt work. Therefore, I wouldnt recommend this hotel.Rating:1
Not impressedWas afraid to walk barefoot around the room. Also the location seemed a little fishy. I guess we paid for the cheaper price...Rating:4
Great for overnightWe stayed here as a quick stay from the Airport to the Cruise Port. They have great service to and from the airport as well as to the port. A restaurant is attached as well as a little mini quick stop shop booth in case you need anything extra ex. medicine, first aide, and a variety of others.Rating:4
Not impressednice, but the bed can be betterRating:3
Not impressedWaited almost an hour and a half for the shuttle from the airport to the hotel because we couldnt get a shuttle directly from the port to the hotel. There was a musty odor in the room and tiny ants in the bathroom. Would not return again.

Erie home-improvement contractor faces more charges
A former Erie home-improvement contractor will face more sets of criminal charges when the state and local police cases against him reach court.
Eight new sets of charges were filed last week against 50-year-old Martin J. Deniziak, and a ninth case is pending, according to court records and police. There are now 22 active cases against the Millcreek Township resident, according to court records.
All of the cases are being handled in Erie 4th Ward District Judge Tom Robie's office. Deniziak was scheduled to appear before Robie for preliminary hearings today, but the hearings have been delayed until March 11.
Deniziak, who is listed in court records as president of the former Deniziak Siding Inc. in Erie, is accused in all of the cases of taking money for work but failing to do the work or refund the money.
The money listed as taken in complaints filed this week includes $638 for a project in the 3200 block of Harvard Boulevard in October 2011; $1,500 taken for a project in the 400 block of Shenley Drive in October; and $1,475 taken for a project in the 400 block of Brandes Street on July 31.
Erie police Detective David Walker, who has filed the bulk of the criminal complaints against Deniziak, wrote in some of the complaints that Deniziak closed his business in October.
Deniziak's lawyer, Philip Friedman, has said Deniziak's business had failed, and that was the reason for the problems.
Millcreek Township police and the Pennsylvania State Police also have filed charges against Deniziak.
He was most recently arraigned Jan. 3 on a felony count of theft by deception for allegedly taking $2,314 for a project he was hired to do, but didn't, on Oakmont Avenue in the township on Aug. 7, according to police.
Deniziak was released on unsecured bond in the case.

A Ridgeville man was charged April 23 with animal cruelty after allegedly shooting a neighbor's dog then throwing it in the river.
Wyly Hampton Reeves was charged with Killing an Identifiable Dog.
This isn't the first time Reeves has been associated with animal cruelty.
In October, 2010, Reeves and two others were cited for animal neglect after 10 dead dogs and 31 starving dogs were found on Traci Lane in Ridgeville.

I just posted about this on my own notablog... clearly, I AM getting slow.
Anyway, there is LOGIC to this scheme. Campbell got more copies because he was one of three major co-editors on the project. Horwitz got the obligatory two copies per contributor.
Long didn't get any because he's getting too good at stealing potential JARS contributors to review books for the JOURNAL OF LIBERTARIAN STUDIES before I have had a chance to ask these potential contributors. So he's being punished.
Seriously, if you don't get the issues, let me know and I'll see if I can persuade somebody in Port Townsend to check into this.

Last week a coalition of 21 states sued U.S. department of labor over a new rule mandating employers pay overtime to their white collar workers performing administrative and professional duties while doubling the salary threshold to $47,500 for eligibility. The Obama administration hails it as a meaningful boost to many workers' wallets ensuring fairer compensation. While states claim the regulation will burden private and public sectors by straining budgets, forcing layoffs, and cutting work hours.

DEBT: Congress should heed former senator's words
If only our congressional team would take heed of retired Sen. Alan Simpson's words Tuesday on CNBC: "Play small-ball and 10 to 15 years from now your country will be sucking canal water, and that's the way it is. It's called the debt. It's $17.3 trillion, heading for 20, and at some point the people who have loaned us 20 trillion bucks will say you've got a dysfunctional government and you've got a Congress that doesn't work."
He also pointed to our Social Security system, whose future solvency has been neglected for decades.

Holt vs Garcia is Done For Hopkins-Dawson Undercard
By Keith Idec
Former WBO junior welterweight champion Kendall Holt and top prospect Danny Garcia have both agreed to terms on contracts for an Oct. 15 fight on the Bernard Hopkins-Chad Dawson undercard in Los Angeles.
The 30-year-old Holt (27-4, 15 KOs), of Paterson, N.J., represents a stiff test for Philadelphia's Garcia, who's 21-0, including 14 knockouts. Garcia, 23, soundly defeated former lightweight champ Nate Campbell (34-8-1, 25 KOs, 1 NC) in their 10-round fight April 9 in Las Vegas, but Campbell is 39.
"This is a great fight and an important and big step up for Danny Garcia," said Richard Schaefer, chief executive officer for Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Garcia. "The winner of that fight will be in a position to fight for one of the world titles."
Holt has bounced back from a one-sided upset defeat to South Africa's Kaizer Mabuza (23-7-3, 14 KOs) in February 2010 by knocking out his last two opponents. He stopped journeyman Lenin Arroyo (20-15-1, 4 KOs) in the first round Jan. 29 in Pontiac, Mich., and then stopped former IBF lightweight champ Julio Diaz (38-7, 27 KOs) with a crushing left hook in the third round of an ESPN2 main event May 13 in Santa Ynez, Calif.
"This is a great fight for Kendall," said Mike Skowronski, Holt's trainer. "Winning this fight will put him right back to where he was."
Holt thought his impressive victory over Diaz would lead to a title fight against Argentina's Lucas Matthysse on the Hopkins-Dawson undercard. Matthysse (28-2, 26 KOs) instead will meet Mexico's Erik Morales (51-7, 35 KOs) for the vacant WBC 140-pound crown Sept. 17 in Las Vegas, on the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Victor Ortiz undercard.
The Holt-Garcia fight will be the 10-round co-feature on an HBO Pay-Per-View broadcast that'll pit Philadelphia's Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KOs, 1 NC) against Dawson (30-1, 17 KOs, 1 NC) in the 12-round main event at Staples Center. Hopkins, 46, will make the first defense of the WBC light heavyweight title he won from Canada's Jean Pascal (26-2-1, 16 KOs) on May 21 in Montreal.

HERSHEY, Pa. - Gov. Corbett vowed Monday to not allow natural-gas drillers to "poison the water," while also restating his case against imposing a tax on the state's booming industry.
He gave a detailed defense of his opposition to a gas severance tax during his remarks to the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors' annual gathering. As he brought up the subject of Marcellus Shale drilling, one woman in the audience shouted: "They're poisoning our water!"
Corbett replied that he will not let that happen, adding to the ballroom packed with township officials that oversight of the industry should be "based on science, not emotion."

- 2.5"
Fast! 05/10/2012
This review is from: Kingston HyperX SH100S3/120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-alone Drive)
Just ran HD Tune Pro
Got an average speed of 349.5 MB/s
Max of 399.7 MB/s
Min of 246.0 MB/s
I also have a Samsung F3 the average read of that is about 130MB/s
Personally this drive is a bit expensive, and I wouldn't buy one unless there was some kind of special going on.
Other Thoughts:
It's a pretty good drive. You don't notice that it takes 2 seconds for Chrome to load until you realize it should take less than 1.
The first time I turned on my computer with my OS loaded on it I was really surprised by how quickly my windows loaded.
I'd recommend one of these to a friend with little hesitation.

i thinks she looks fab…better than all other indian "actresses"…although next best would be …slumdog girl..
At fist I thought her as Salma Hayek. Got to admit, this girl has left Ashwarya Rai way-way-waaay behind.
She looks great in her Jean Paul Gaultier Couture… Thumbs up for the look..
she looks like a duck, no good features to wow anyone, just herself, notive no closeups, coz then youll know how amazing and truly out of this beautiful Aishwarya is
point is Penelope and infact all girls there are better looking than Sonam, whereas Aishwarya even at this age is better looking than Penelope, cruger and most of those girls fact, see by birth she is a international beauty…fact digest it live with it, you jealous and typical loud wide mouthed old at young age looking girls

I love my S6, I recommended it to several people at work who had LG and Iphones. They ended up loving the device just as much. The battery isn't the greatest but there are too many positives like the performance, camera, wireless charging/fast charging, and build quality. If Sammy can up the ante with there next flagship then I'll be buying another Samsung phone.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Survivors of the Oklahoma City bombing met with a state prosecutor Monday to express their opinions on whether bombing conspirator Terry Nichols should be tried for murder.
Nichols, 46, was charged in March 1999 with 160 state counts of first-degree murder by former Oklahoma County District Attorney Bob Macy, who said he would seek the death penalty.
But new District Attorney Wes Lane, who took over as the county's top prosecutor following Macy's retirement on June 30, has said he is reassessing the case. Lane has expressed concern about devoting his office's limited resources to a case that has already been tried in a federal court, where Nichols was convicted of manslaughter.
The financial considerations do not carry much weight with Paul Heath, a survivor of the bombing.
"There's 160 people who died who worked with me," he said as he entered the meeting. "This case cries out for justice, simply on the basis of what is the law.
"Where in the law does it say that you drop a case because it's too expensive?"
Jannie Coverdale, whose two grandsons were killed in the bombing, acknowledged that Lane has a difficult decision to make.
"I sure wouldn't like to be in his position," Coverdale said before going in to the meeting. "He's between a rock and a hard place because we want trial."
Nichols was convicted at a federal trial in Denver of manslaughter charges for the deaths of eight federal law enforcement officers in the April 19, 1995, bombing of Oklahoma City's federal building, which killed 168 people. Nichols was sentenced to life in prison.
Lane requested a meeting with survivors and victims' family members before he decides whether to proceed with the state's case.
Prosecutors allege that Nichols worked with bomber Timothy McVeigh to steal and purchase bomb ingredients and pack the bomb inside a Ryder truck on the day before the blast.
Some survivors have said Nichols should be tried in Oklahoma for the deaths of the 160 victims, including 19 children, who were not part of his federal trial.
But others say a second trial is unnecessary following Nichols' and McVeigh's federal convictions.
Public opinion polls have indicated that the majority of Oklahomans are opposed to a potentially costly state trial for Nichols.

Fewer doses of H1N1 influenza vaccines have arrived at the Brunswick County Health Department than first expected, and children and pregnant women remain at risk for contracting H1N1.
Brunswick County Deputy Health Director Fred Michael said the county has received about 1,200 doses of the originally anticipated 9,000 does of H1N1 vaccine in recent weeks. Another 1,400 doses are expected Wednesday or Thursday.
After Wake County Sheriff's deputies arrested Danny Thomas Goldston Jr. on Oct. 26, for allegedly breaking into construction sites around Wake County, detectives tied him back to Brunswick County.
Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Detective Mike Murray said he was in the process of charging Goldston, 22, with a string of break-ins and robberies in the Leland area Oct. 24.
But what Goldston, who lives in Wendell, just outside of Raleigh, was doing in Leland, detectives say they don't know. Murray said Goldston rented a U-Haul truck in Apex on Oct. 5.
BOLIVIA—Brunswick County Commissioners approved a less stringent background check policy for the 300 or so people who volunteer each year with the Brunswick County Parks and Recreation Department's youth and special populations programs.
Jim Pryor, the county's parks and recreation director, said the county commissioners adopted the criminal background check policy for volunteers in 2007 to, "Make sure they are socially fit, and to make sure they can work with our kids and our programs."
SUNSET BEACH—New rules for allowing motorized vehicles on the beach for the handicapped were approved Monday night by town council.
Council members had previously discussed allowing only motorized wheelchairs on the strand, in addition to town vehicles, but decided similar vehicles or even golf carts could be allowed with restrictions for handicapped use.
The draft proposal approved Monday allows handicapped persons to operate on the beach strand factory-manufactured motorized wheelchairs or a similar vehicle not exceeding 600 pounds.
SUPPLY—Surrounded by family and friends, Danny Grissett and Samuel Causey reached a milestone in their recovery from drug abuse as they graduated from Drug Treatment Court last week.
Grissett and Causey join the program's first graduate, Scott Milligan, who graduated in August, as graduates of Brunswick County's rehabilitation-focused Drug Treatment Court.
CALABASH—Incumbent Bill Dixon, former town commissioner Jody Nance, and write-in candidate Mary Knight have each claimed seats on the Calabash Board of Commissioners.
Unofficial election tallies from Tuesday's municipal election in the seafood capital showed Dixon and Nance with 151 and 135 votes respectively and 133 votes for a write-in candidate, compared to 116 votes for incumbent Emily DiStasio and 112 votes for incumbent Cecelia Herman.
Running unopposed for re-election, Ocean Isle Beach Mayor Debbie Smith received 118 votes in this year's municipal election and will serve another two-year term.
She has served as mayor since 2003, and served as a commissioner from 1983-1995 and 1997-2003.
"It makes you feel good that people hopefully think I'm doing a good job, and I will continue to try and do that," Smith said Tuesday night.
Smith said her goal for the next two years is to keep the town fiscally responsible and keep the beach nourished.

Historical Traveler Reviews Sir Thomas Hotel Liverpool
Located in a noisy, busy street - can you sleep through it?
We looked forward to our trip to the Sir Thomas - having read a rave review in The Times. Parking is NCP one block away. The room was comfortable enough - though the decor gives the impression of a re-vamp. It was quickly obvious that our room, located at the front of the hotel, was going to be subject to noisy traffic. Situated directly above traffic lights we listened to buses, cars and all other transport stopping. starting and revving away as the lights changed. Sleep was only possible when the traffic finally died down until it began again as people started their day. Leaving the window open would have been impossible and so we suffered a stuffy, sweltering, noisy night. That said, we enjoyed a good breakfast but suffered from lack of sleep all the following day. Very central location but think seriously about noise levels - when I asked if there were any quieter rooms I was told that I 'was in a busy city'.
Impressed by the manager
Myself and some friends recently stayed in this hotel. Its true that there was a delay in checking into the rooms, and yes there were two rooms with double beds. (ref. earlier review by Dublin member) I spoke with the manager who listened to my story and quickly made amends for the situation. We ended up having a great weekend, the staff were great to us. All were polite courteous and entertaining. A special word of thanks to Andy Mogan, the assistant manager. He was on the ball straight away. Fair play to him. The hotel is in a great location and we'll definitely be going back there.
First time experience
Arrived at reception and checked in smoothly. Allocated room 215 at side of hotel. Room ok but not worth the money we had paid. we decided to unpack and go for a walk and then come back to change for the evening. On arriving back at reception we asked for the key to be told that 215 was not our room. We were then asked if our case was silver and black, which it was, and we were then told they had it behind reception along with our clothes on hangers. The whole situation and the way it was handled was bizarre.
The duty manager then became involved and led us to an identical room
(but probably more noisy) at the fron t of the hotel. Prior to this we made another visit with him to 215 to check through drawers to ensure all our belongings had been packed ( even though the new occupants had also unpacked their belongings). As compensation they gave us the room f.o.c. which was a decent gesture but having stayed at hundreds of hotels around the world this was definitely a first.
On thepositive side hotels has a nice bar and restaurant and is in a good position for nightlife. we still enjoyed the weekend.
Ughhhhh what an experience ......waited 9 hours for our rooms to be ready
Im appauled and like the review two or three down I have written a letter of complaint in to the manager of the hotel.
I cannot sum up how dissapointed I was in this hotel, and it does come down to the quality of all services, when we arrived first you get this feeling of WOW, the bar and reception are modern and warm, then you walk out to the lift that almost feels like it is going to free fall when you walk into it.
The rooms are horrible, cheap and nasty, the matress is horrible, one pillow each, carpet is old and worn , the actual matress is smaller than the bed, no wadrobes just cheap wood made to look like a holding area for clothes.
the bathrooms are institutional looking, .. Im sure you are getting the picture, so then you go down to the bar and have to wait 25mins for a drink !!! .. the waitresses are sweet and polite but take 25 mins to bring a drink to you from a bar that is not even slightly full.
So we just say what the hell dont spoil our weekend lets go out and enjoy the night.. had an excellent night in liverpool... woke up didn't bother with the breakfast as we slept through it, not sure why breakfast has to stop at ten in hotels when people are on hoilday !!!!!!!
then we had other members of our family arriving in.... this is what really got my goat !!! they arrived at the hotel at 11.00am on the saturday and were told the room was not ready ... to come back at two ..this is fine as it was early ... they eventually did not get into their rooms till half past seven that evening and when they got up there, they had been allocated 2 rooms with two double beds for 4 grown men .... they went back down explained this and all they could offer them was camp beds.... im sorry this is not acceptable, I forgot to metion after hours of them walking out and in to find out if the rooms were ready and every time the answer was ten minutes, resulting in us being extremley annoyed the offered two free rooms for them at another date. Im sorry who in there right mind would want to stay there again !!!!
its a pharse and this hotel needs to be criticised if it is to charge these prices and have customers feeling like this ....its not a hotel .. you would get better facilities and service in a motel at a quarter of the price ....
Im still livid that I have wasted a significant amount of money on a dump !!!
Stay way .......
Truly Appalling
A truly appalling hotel on virtually every level. As with so many bad experiences, this one is caused by overpromising and then under delivering. The hotel pitches itself as a rarified boutique a la Malamaison or Hotel du Vin, offering highly selective photos as evidence for this. The reality could not be more different. Our rooms were dirty, noisy and draughty, with stained walls, mould in the bathrooms, matresses that could easily double as trampolines, empty soap dispensers and rotting window frames. When we asked for an iron, we had to wait 50 minutes whilst they attempted to find one - a task which eventually proved beyond the staff of the Sir Thomas. The breakfast and the attitude of the staff, whilst not on the appalling level of so many other elements, were mediocre. For the money, shocking.
Budget hotel at Boutique prices
The hotel is exactly what one might expect from a budget hotel with your typical stained and dented walls (with that particularly special rendering on the ceiling that you find in budget places), springy overused mattresses, cheap and heavily worn B&Q bathroom suite, industrial carpet with gum stains, economy 12" TV set, economy soap (which was empty in both our rooms), impersonal service of a mediocre level talent (without any of the little charms you find in your higher end hotels), full english prepared, not cooked (powdered eggs, your cheap supermarket off the shelf bread, etc) etc.
This would all be fine if they were charging and competing with budget end hotel and you knew exactly what to expect. Instead, they are charging Malmaison rates and putting a mask over their tired, budget hotel by introducing a few cheap visual elements for photo purposes that give an 'appearance' of boutique. They have taken a very close close-up of the bed in the dark, showing you a piece of furniture (not a room) that looks 'trendy', which in reality is a very cheap set of kit from the 'contemporary' line at your cheapest furniture shop.
It is deception at its greatest.
Very let down & dissappointed
After looking on internet for hotels and restaurants in liverpool i decided to book for the night at the sir thomas hotel. Photo's of room & restaurant looked beautiful, my decision was made, this was the ideal place for a romantic evening! Staff on reception were friendly & polite. Upto the room we went only to be let down by how basic the room was compared to pictures on websites. To me it looked like a travel inn only my wallet didnt feel the same as it would be paying for a travel inn!!! I must admit the meal was excellent! But the standard of the room did spoil our night as it was nowhere near as cosy & romantic as i thought it would be to celebrate our engagement!! I feel i was mislead & i am currently waiting to hear from the hotel manager ( 5 days later )
Loved the Sir Thomas Hotel
Wonderful hotel. Very clean and modern. I believe it recently underwent a renovation and I don't think you will be disappointed staying here. The staff were extremely helpful and very pleasant. Breakfast was included in the price of the room and was great. The location is excellent, very near the Cavern Walks which is what we were interested in. Our two nights stay couldn't have been better. I highly recommend it. And the cost was very reasonable, 70GBP per night for a double. Also, I recommend the Grapes Pub on Matthew Street for food, especially lunch. We kept going back, excellent pub.
Fab Hotel
Fabulous Hotel, superb service/staff, ideal location and excellent restaurant (made better as we were seated on the table next to a well known Liverpool Celeb!!). Would definately recomend it to anyone visiting Liverpool and want a quality hotel in the city centre.
Hotel manager of the year (NOT!!!!!)
Stayed here for two nights this weekend (30/6-). Children away so looking forward to some R and R. Booked over the phone at 4pm. Got to hotel at 7pm. Receptionist was great, gave us room key and off we went. The room was dark but seemed ok except for the large dismantled bed in the corner!! Called reception (by guesswork as no hotel info pack in rm). Moved to another room. Dirty ripped cover on base of mattress, dirty net curtains hiding original but filthy windows. Dusty unhoovered with nasty looking marks on chair. Again receptionist was lovely, very apologetic and offered to show us another 2 rooms. Went to reception with her to get keys. Manager was on desk. No acknowledgement of us or the fact that we were having problems finding a clean room in his hotel. Muttered to receptionist to try 202/6 and off we went. 202 had a minute shower and again was dusty and drab. 206 was ok. By this time it was 8pm, we were tired and hungry and did not relish the thought of trying to find another reasonably priced hotel. Receptionist apologised and assured us that the manager would be up to see us and offer some sort of reduction. He never appeared but she came back with the offer of �10 reduction per night and free drinks in bar. We accepted but made it clear that we would have liked to see the manager. Phoned down and made this point to him with no response other than 'ok, thanks for that'. It is worth mentioning that we only ever saw one other guest until Sat morning.
Stay overall was fine. Breakfast was good. Jodie on reception is lovely but the manager could definately do with some lessons on managerial skills. The hotel is to undergo some refurbishment but this doesnt, we feel, excuse the state of rms or attitude of management.
Look elsewhere first. Liverpool is a fantastic place and you dont want it spoiled by a less than adequate hotel

Very comparable if not the same to two faced and mac. Its a must have for someone who is staring out in makeup if you want something that is good quality and affordable. I simply ADORE it <3
