Historical Traveler Reviews Omni Austin at South Park
Some quirks, great food
I stayed here for five nights in October 2005. The good things: the staff, who were very helpful and efficient, and the restaurant (and room service), which were just great. I admire a restaurant where the waitress asks, "The usual?" when I come down for breakfast on the second morning, and the breakfast is just right.
I experienced two difficulties. The room lights were so dim that it required moving the newspaper around on the desk in order to get it in the light to read it. And anyone who prefers to avoid hotel bars for cultural or medical reasons should be aware that the main lobby, where the elevator doors open, becomes a buffet-type bar in the evenings, and to get to the elevator you have to walk through it. For many people this will be a plus, but not for everyone.
Uncomfortable Stay
I was there for one night, as part of a business meeting.
The best part of my one-night stay at the Omni was the staff. They were always friendly, helpful and prompt. They were very, very good.
The room itself was a problem.
The positives:
The elevators were in their own area, not directly across from rooms, so guests aren't subjected to the dinging of the doors. The lobby is very nice. The hotel restaurant staff was wonderful, as was the food.
A real rug in the bathroom.
A robe in the closet.
Perks for Omni members. I think it's Gold Select.
Starz and HBO.
The negatives:
The windows in the rooms are not well done, and I heard the roar of the interstate traffic on the 9th floor. I was surprised by how loud the traffic was. I felt like I was staying in a nicely appointed truck stop motel room.
The bed and pillows were lumpy. I had a muscle spasm in my back in the morning after getting up. This has never happened before. It was one of the worst beds I've slept on, and I stay in a lot of hotels.
The lighting in the room is dim, and it's difficult to do any reading unless you're sitting at the desk in the room.
I was in a room that had two adjoining doors, one on either side. The adjoining doors were thin enough to allow me to hear my noisy neighbors talking and laughing. Thankfully, I had earplugs, and the earplugs gave me quiet.
I could hear the adjoining shower--very noisy plumbing.
There were stains on the carpet, the ottoman, and the comforter.
Many of the TV channels had static, so they were unpleasant to watch.
Overall, I was there on business, but I would never stay there again, nor would I recommend it to anyone unless comfort isn't an issue.
Nice stay - see our photos !
We had a very nice overnight stay.
We took 10 photos to share - see attached.
Service was superlative, very nice staff. The open air bar in the lobby had a very nice bartender, and it is a nice comfortable setting to relax.
The workout room was in good working order, and very good variety of equipment for a hotel!
The hot tub worked fine and was clean and enjoyable.
The swimming pool indoor and outdoor looked great. We didn't swim because it was December and too cold outside - next time we'll spend some time poolside when it warms up.
Our room was updated and very nice. Fresh carpeting, nice bathroom, and the bed was very comfortable. They have one of those padded mattresses and nice pillows. Also, the sheets they used were very nice, and they do a very good job making a bed, very tight and snug if you know what I mean. It was a dream sleep.
Nice desk, etc.
The van from the airport was excellent.
My only complaint is minor. I don't like the five dollar and fifty cent Evian water bottle ( plus seventeen percent tax ) that they place in the room. Pleeeeeeease, that is so dumb to put a cost like that on a small bottle of water, and makes the hotel chain look greedy. Wake up management, either take the water out, or just give us a free bottle of water - but over five bucks for a sixteen ounce bottle of water is ridulous, and always something to tell the kids not to do, etc. You know what I mean?
Overall, great stay, and well managed hotel. Great service, kind staff, and all the superlatives.
Will stay there again!
Not Fun!!
We stayed at the Omni South Park for our visit to see "Thomas The Train". Two miserable days, the light in the bathroom went out the first morning, so when had to shower and dress in the dark. We were never able to dial out of our room and no one from room service or maintenance ever picked up.
When we left a staff member seeing two women and children together assumed we were lesbian and started that conversation, when we quickly informed him we were sisters we just walked away, not even an apology......not my idea of a comfortable get away!!!
Survey Says.....Great Place to Stay
Our experience at the Omni Southpark was a very pleasant one. The staff was very friendly. We made last minute arrangements and arrived after 10:00 pm, when we arrived we had already been checked in and the keys were waiting for us.
The room was very clean (this is coming from a clean freak) and a nice size. The bed was a little soft, but comfy none the less. There were more than enough towels, the room was well kept and if desired the mini bar was stocked with a good variety of things.
There was turn down service and chocolates. The pool was very nice and there were plenty of chairs and towels available.
Overall, we would definately stay at a Omni Hotel again, and would recommend it to others. We normally stay at 3 star hotels or less but this 4 star really stepped it up a notch. This was class with affordablility.
Nice hotel, but a bit out of the way from downtown
I just was in Austin for a few days and decided to stay here after doing some web-based research. The hotel itself was quite nice -- clean, friendly staff, good rooms, quality housekeeping, and good facilities (pool etc.)
I had no issues with my room/bathroom or service. Having a free shuttle to the airport was a very nice added bonus (although you need to call them to pick you up from the airport and sign onto a list for the shuttle going to the airport)
I was able to get a nice room for about $95 or so a night, which is good considering all the place has to offer. But, the major drawback for this place is that it is about 3-3.5 miles south of downtown Austin and getting into town can get a bit expensive if you didn't rent a car. (Cab fare is about 12-14 dollars one way.) The hotel does provide a shuttle into Austin, however this only runs for limited hours only on friday and saturday. Hence, I had to rely on cabs quite a bit and Austin has very poor public transport so things added up quickly. Take for example, on a sunday...I woke up and decided to go into town and spend the day there. I was in town till around 4-5 pm and decided to come back to relax for a bit before dinner and a trip to a local bar. If I decided not to eat at the hotel itself, I had to pay another round-trip fare on the cab to go into town just to get dinner and spend part of the night out. Bottom line, if you are not a business traveler (i.e. company car provided for you or convention etc. at this hotel) or don't rent a car-- just realize that going into Austin will add up. Otherwise, the hotel itself is quite nice.
Very nice and friendly
I stayed for three nights and enjoyed the hotel very much - very clean and the staff was friendly. The bellhop was so effusive when I arrived I wound up tipping him $5 - but I never saw him again! They did screw up a small detail at the desk and weren't very apologetic about it. Nice pool and lobby.
One warning if you're driving: it's right in the center of construction wonderland so it's a little confusing getting in and out of the hotel and expect to sit in some traffic. Apparently this major highway construction is three years into a five year project. Noise was not a problem, though.
Disappointed with the internet connection :(
Very nice hotel. This was my second stay there. The furnishings were nice, room size was comfortable but the internet connection was bad and that was my main focus for this trip. Very nice pool, Fernando the bartender was very friendly, food was good. Hotel was undergoing some remodeling but it was not a bother.
First stay was for a conference and they get a 4**** for that one. Conference facilities are excellent.
Loved the Omni South Park
The Omni South Park, is beautiful, clean and comfortable. Reasonably priced, yet with all the amenities you could ask for. Great pool and spa facilities, robes provided for use. Fitness equipment for those so inclined. Our room was all we could want. If there was any criticism, it would be that our room had a adjacent, locked door, and the noise level wasnt acceptable. If the occupants were quiet it was okay, however the occupants of the room next to ours were rowdy and we had to call the front desk at 2:30 a.m.
We travel quite a bit, and when we find a clean, comfortable room with "extras" at a reasonable price it is really a bonus.
A very nice stay
We stayed at Omni Hotel Southpark from April 22-26. The hotel is located off of I-35, which is almost unbearable because of the construction which according to our taxi driver has been going on for five years with no end in site.
However, the hotel was great. The staff were very, very nice and the bartender Thursday and Friday nights was awesome. The rooms were large and clean, the hotel was very pretty and the pool was nice. And the pool was heated because the whole time we were down there it was very cold and cloudy, but the outdoor/indoor pool was a very pleasant temperature.
There was coffee available in the room, which is great because if you went down to the lobby it was $2 for a partially filled cup. And it's not a continental breakfast in the lobby - those muffins cost $2 a piece! But other than the usual scams nice hotels pull these days, the hotel was great and I would definitely stay there again.
And when the free hotel shuttle screwed up and didn't take our friends to the airport, the hotel paid for a taxi to take them there. Nice touch.

Day 18| LBJ Boyhood Home and 1st Day in Austin
On the way to Austin, I didn't realize exactly where the LBJ ranch was in planning my itinerary (I screwed up). Somehow I went 15 miles past where the the actual ranch was. I will blame this on Ann. For two reasons, she is my official navigator (even though she is absent). I don't know why I didn't pick it up, because I saw a sign that said I passed over the Perdnales River. I knew that LBJ's ranch ...

Universal Orlando:
How long can you reuse them?
Terri Pierce
Posted January 16, 2011 at 5:04 PM
Universal Souvenir have always been one of my favorites. They're cheap beginning costs and cheap refils. But how long will the booths take them? Reading the small print on the side of one of mine (NOT a meal deal one) it said only for the date of purchase.... however we all know that's not true. My question is will they refill the cups even after that certain style has been discontinued? I have a cup from this past year as well as one from 2 years ago. Both red, both non meal deal.

As long as they're very obviously actually from universal it really doesn't matter how old the cups are. I've got one from last summer, one from last month, and one green men in black one from 7 years ago that's been discontinued. They refill all of them all the time without saying a word. :)

Just make sure you get the discount refill cups and NOT the meal deal cups - they won't refill meal deal cups ever again past that one day of purchase.

MOSCOW - Russia's parliament Tuesday ratified a long-awaited agreement with the United States regulating the adoption of Russian children by Americans.
The ratification by a 244-96-2 vote in the State Duma came a year after the two countries worked out the agreement.
Russian officials have long complained about the abuse and even killings of children by their adoptive parents - saying at least 19 Russian adoptive children have died at their American parents' hands.
The issue came to a head in April 2010 when an American adoptive mother sent her 7-year-old boy back to Russia on a one-way ticket, saying he had behavioral problems.

Palo Duro came about as close as it could to topping defending state champion Tascosa in a wrestling dual in Tascosa's Old Main gym on Tuesday night.
Clinging to a 38-31 lead going into the next-to-last match at 215 pounds, the Dons needed at least a decision to secure the win. But Tascosa escaped with a win at 215 and then took the final match to prevail 40-38.
``Losing by two points is killing me,'' said Palo Duro coach Steve Nelson. ``Always falling a little bit short of Tascosa kind of takes a piece out of my insides. We've done real well in the last couple of years. The kids finally believe in themselves and expect a lot from themselves. I want the kids to have fun while they do it more than anything.''
For PD, a dual victory against Tascosa is as rare as finding a four-leaf clover. With only one win and a tie against the Rebels in the 12 years that Nelson has been coaching the Dons, it might take finding a lucky charm for the Dons to pull out a win.
And that's what nearly happened.
PD's Marcus Bettag trailed 10-2 going into the third and final period, but in the closing seconds he had Tascosa's Matt Lopez in position for a possible pin as time ran out. Lopez won the bout 10-5, giving Tascosa three team points that reduced the Dons' lead to 38-34 with only the heavyweight match remaining.
``They have worked real hard all year,'' Nelson said. ``We have a few kids that feel bad because they lost, but it's no one person's fault. Wrestling's an individual sport. It's only a team sport for the coach.''
With two-time state heavyweight champion Buck McLamb - who hasn't lost a match within the state since his freshman year - a win seemed to be about as automatic as you can get. McLamb scored a pin in 1:35 against PD's Brent Story.
``That was the way a wrestling dual ought to look, coming right down to the wire in the last match of the night,'' said Tascosa coach Johnny Cobb. ``They've really got a great program going on.''
``We knew it was going to be a close dual,'' said PD's Chris Cantrell, who won his match at 145 pounds with a 1:06 pin of Tascosa's Charles Crook.
``Coach (Nelson) told us it was going to be a tough match and to stick in there, and I think we did great as a team. Considering they are the state champions and everything, we will want to win more now that we lost against them.''
The Rebels haven't wrestled at home since hosting the Tri-State Duals last month. This was their first dual since returning from holiday break. This weekend, Tascosa, along with other area squads, will be competing at Liberal, Kan.
PD started strong in the lighter weights, opening a 22-0 lead. The Dons got two forfeits, a Dominic Baldivia pin in 2:36 against Tascosa's Curtis Riffle and a 3-2 win by Don Ho against Jensen Whitaker.
Tascosa got two forfeits at 130 and 135, and defending state champion Brett Robinson at 140 scored a pin in 1:30 against Eric Guzman to get the Rebels back into the match.
Leonard Guerrero broke a 3-3 tie on an escape with 1:17 left in the third period of the 180-pound match and went on to a 5-3 win against Boone Waggoner. That match, one of the pivotal matches of the dual in the heavier weight classes, made it a 32-31 PD lead.

text: So I was in my local beer and wine store today, and saw that they had Widmer Raspberry RIS on the shelves. Went to grab one, and it was colder than it should have been for sitting out on the shelves. Checked the other bottles, and realized that these had been in the cooler, and were now being shifted out onto the shelves and allowed to get warm. I noticed the same with some bottles of La Folie, and a few other things on their shelves. I've always been told that its bad to let beer get warm once its been cold, but maybe this is just one of those things we're told that isnt true. Is this bad, and should I be wary of buying beer off their shelves, or is it OK to let cold beer get warm like this?

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Arvor Saint Georges Paris
Good value for families
travelled to paris with family of 7, had 2 rooms, good value for paris and excellent location , was a comfortable walk to Monmatre/Sacre coeur and to Opera and Grand magasins.Metro was 1 mins walk away for further trips, very helpful and friendly staff who were happy to put up with our broken French and speak to us in English. rooms good size and clean, would be happy to go back again.
If travelling as couple would prefer somewhere more upmarket but on budget with family was excellent value, and restaurants suitable for families were nearby and a short taxi ride from Roissy bus drop off at Opera, ( could have walked if not with children), definitely would strongly recommend it to travelers on budget and /or with families
A nice small hotel in the heart of Paris
We stayed three nights at the Arvor. It's a very small hotel with only 31 rooms. The size of our room was ok and the room was very clean. It seems that the rooms were refurbished recently. Only the floor seems to be very old, because it squeaks. :-) The room had no air conditioning.
The location of the hotel is very good. It's in a small and quiet street (Rue Laferri�re) in the 9th arrondissement (near Gare du nord and Op�ra) and the next metro station is only 100m away.
Unfortunately the breakfast room is very small and we had to wait one morning 5 minutes before we were able to have breakfast.
The staff was very kind.
The Arvor is a very nice hotel in a good location and the price is ok. Perhaps you should keep in mind that the rooms have no air conditioning, if you want to stay at midsummer.
I have only one warning: You should avoid room 001 - as "A TripAdvisor Member, Calgary, Canada" wrote @Oct 20, 2005. Room 001 seems to be noisy.
Just ok
We booked a week-long stay and not all things went smoothly. We were not pleased with the room allocation as we ended up in a room right beside the breakfast, lounge and lobby area. It was noisy until all hours of the night due to guests leaving or returning to the hotel. And, we had to put up with noise associated with kitchen staff setting up for breakfast at 3 or 4 am. We were not offered a switch of rooms even when others became vacant. The night staff however was very nice and most sympathetic although the manager was rather non-customer focued.
They advertised internet access and although they had a computer hooked up in the lobby, it never worked the entire week we were there. Other little things wrong included a broken kettle, cups and glasses that were never cleaned.
The hotel was however located in a convenient area with easy access to Metro and walking distance to Monmartre.
Almost Business Friendly
Was in Paris on business. In an email they told me that they were a 10 minute walk for Gar Du Nord. Actually it was about a 30 minute walk (or a 10 minute cab ride). Since my bags were on wheels it was a nice walk. But as I found out, the people here at the hotel are nice but somtimes things are lost in the translation between English and French.
I had a nice quiet room at the rear of the hotel. Only drawback was that there was no cloths iron in the room and not one available at the desk. The day girl at the desk gave me a map to a laundry about 5 blocks away, but the night clerk let me sneak downstairs and use the housekeeping iron (hope I have not spoiled it for future travellers). This was the only negative I could say about this place, but for a travelling businessman a iron is essential.
Another key requirement for me is internet access. I asked at the desk if they had wifi as their internet site suggested. She pointed to a computer in the corner of the dining room and I tried to explain what wireless was, but she seemd to indicate she did not know. Finally I opened my computer and found a couple of wifi pay services. I told here I had found a wifi signal and she said "oh weefee". So in France wifi becomes "weefee"... good to know! For internet access I used the Orange service which was very expensive 10 Euro for 2 hours. If you are there for a few days, this area is also covered by city wide internet service called Ozone that is primarily targeted at residents(---). Note if you cant read the French on the web page use the google web page translation tool at (---). If you have a french cell phone you can pay via SMS for 1.5 Euros/day (I didn't). The other option if you are there for a few days is to pay by credit card for a month's unlimited use for 18 Euros (Worth it if you are there for 2 days or more!)
The location is pretty good as there is the St Georges subway station about a 10 minute walk away that gives you easy access to the rest of Paris. Also just up the block is a town square with a number of interesting bars and restaurants. Actually there are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance.
Also note that there is no air conditioning. I was there during some humid days in September. The nights did get cool luckly and it is possible to get a nice breeze through the room by opening the windows but it could get quite uncomfortable on really hot days I imagine.
If the get irons in the rooms I will surly be a return customer!
Loved the Arvor
We are just back from a 3 night visit to Paris and the Hotel Arvor exceeded our expectations!! We were impressed with all the postings and thankfully decided to include it in our travels. Our family (2 adults/2 teenagers) loved the very clean rooms, quiet nights and breakfast in the courtyard. With teenagers who like to eat... the Shoppi (grocery store) down the street was a real bonus! We also found the hotel wonderfully convienient to the metro. We bought a 3 day metro pass (and a 3 day museum pass) and had no problem finding our way around the city. For the price this hotel is a real gem...and if we are lucky enough to return to Paris, we would definetly book at the Arvor again. Enjoy!
Charming small hotel
I have just returned from Paris, having stayed at the Hotel Arvor Saint Georges from May 20-27, 2005.
I previously travelled to Europe with a wealthy friend and so stayed in quite luxurious hotels (most recently in Paris in 2001, at the Plaza Athenee). On this trip, I was travelling with women friends. As we were not prepared to pay $500 Cdn or more a night, we consulted a local travel agent who recommended the Arvor. We were able to get an excellent price - 1020 Euros for a triple room for the week, including breakfast - especially given the season.
Because the hotel was quite lovely and the staff wonderful, and because it does not have a lot of reviews on TripAdvisor, I thought I'd write a brief review.
We were in two rooms - myself and two friends had a triple, with another friend who only stayed 5 nights in a single room on a different floor. All were clean and well laid out, furnished with modern Ikea furniture in very good condition. In our triple, there was a small bedroom with one bed, a larger room with two twin beds, and a good sized bathroom with shower, sink and bidet, with a separate room with toilet only. The beds were firm and the linen clean and comfortable. There were lots of windows, with the main window overlooking a rooftop garden on another building, and below, the small patio where you could eat breakfast on nice days.
There was a safe at an additional charge (2 Euro per day) which we did not use. Happily, we did not have any security issues. One thing to note that might surprise N. Americans - we were asked to leave our key at the front desk when we left each day. As the three in our room did not always spend all day together, we found this very convenient.
The only thing I missed in the room was a small fridge as I sometimes like to buy juice, etc. on my travels. We did not particularly mind though since we had fresh orange juice with breakfast. Although we did drink wine in our room, we drank red wine, so room temperature was fine.
The hotel was quite quiet - even though we left windows open at night for fresh air, we were generally not disturbed. Although very very close to the Metro, the hotel is on a small one way street, so the street noise is minimal.
As another reviewer commented, the breakfast was excellent. There is a choice of coffee, tea or hot chocolate, served at your table, with juice, plain yogurt (we added jam or jelly), and a lovely assortment of pastries. At small serving tables near by were fresh fruit, cereals and two types of cheese. We found that if we ate breakfast about 9 a.m. or so, we were good to go until about 2 before we needed to have lunch - a good thing in Paris, where dinner is generally served late by N. American standards. A small criticism - the server during the week was not particularly friendly (she was not rude, just not nearly as charming as the rest of the people who work there)
A couple of nights we were in Paris, we ate [a feast] in our room - bread, cheese, fresh avocados, tomatoes, wine and dessert. My friend who did the shopping commented very favourably about the location of the Arvor in terms of the many vendors (fromagerie, charcuterie, patisserie) in the immediate vicinity. There is also a "Shopi" grocery store just down the street on Notre Dame de Lorette which is very convenient.
Finally the staff - we found Olivier in particular to be both accomodating and charming. While we did not ask for particular advice or food recommendations, we nonetheless had occasion to ask for assistance.
I brought my 9 year old nephew to Paris with me. He was to stay with his best friend whose family is in Paris for a year. However an unexpected event meant the family he was visiting had to leave Paris two days before our trip ended. I explained to Olivier the circumstances and asked whether my nephew could stay in our room for 2 nights - the immediate response was "pas de probleme".
Another evening, one of my friends went down to ask for additional tea cups. It appeared that we had returned one too many the previous evening. Olivier not only immediately provided the necessary dishes and cutlery, but made a note to speak to the cleaning staff to ensure we had sufficient dishes in our room the folllowing day.
While I know it's relatively easy to know your guests when you run a small hotel, it is still nice to have the person at the reception recognize you and hand you your key when you return after a long day shopping, sightseeing and/or eating. While not all the night staff knew us, certainly this was true of Olivier and the woman who works there (we did not learn her name).
All in all, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay at a charming, small, well run hotel in Paris.
Truly a gem
This small hotel is truly one of the best buys in Paris, or any other major city for that matter. The staff is the most incredibly welcoming staff I have ever had in a small hotel. Their attention to your needs and their sincere wish that your stay is a pleasant one are obvious. The breakfast is a good start, with fresh juice, tea, coffee, cereal, and breads. The rooms are really quite spacious for Europe and thoughtfully decorated. The baths (that have shower curtains....a plus for France) are immaculate and bright. I stayed in Room 505 which was in the back of the hotel and had dormer windows overlooking the rooftops of Paris. The room was spotless and the beds fantastic. The hotel is an oasis of calm in heart of the city. It is down the hill from the Moulin Rouge and steps away from the Opera and the Galleries Lafayette and Printemps. It is a reasonable walk to the Louvre, etc. and convenient to the Gare St. Lazare, for trains leaving to the Normandy coast. There is also free internet access in the lobby, a real plus in this city where it is harder than most to get on the internet. This hotel is an incredible value and I highly recommend it to anybody wanting a great hotel and a great value.
Had a wonderful stay
We stayed with family and friends at the Arvor and had a wonderful time: the rooms were comfortable with really good beds and super clean. Some of us had rooms to the back and we had a room to the front; both were very quiet, since the Arvor is located on a side street. The breakfast consisted of coffee/tea, croissants, fresh, warm rolls, yoghurt, preserves, fresh fruit and orange juice. In addition, there were newspapers (yes, also in English) and complimentary coffee/tea making facilities in the rooms. We were delighted to find BBC as well as CNN on the TV. Booking is really easy, since the very friendly and helpful reception staff speak English and promptly faxed confirmation. We also found it handy to have a safe in our room. The Arvor is conveniently located near a good selection of restaurants. We followed the owner's recommendations and had great food. It's in easy walking distance to all major attractions, although some of us occasionally took the nearby metro and bus. I realize this review sounds glowing, but we really have nothing negative to say. We would always book at the Arvor again.
A hidden gem
To introduce ourselves: We are a couple from Canada, who are quite fussy when it comes to hotel accommodations anywhere, and thus we often stay in fairly luxurious hotels and inns, to be on the safe side. When planning our trip to Paris (which included another three couples) we had to be certain to find a good place to stay. The Arvor came highly recommended by our travel agent, and so we thought we'd give it a try. We stayed a week at the Arvor with several friends in October, and our visit has left us with such positive feelings about the hotel that we felt compelled to write a review. The hotel is located on a quiet side street, yet only steps away from metro and busses, which will take you virtually anywhere in Paris. Montmartre, Opera, good restaurants, and shops are all within easy walking distance. The rooms are lovely, with a clean and fresh decor. The continental breakfast is always fresh and ample, and the hotel supplies complimentary English speaking newspapers. The staff is super friendly, and the English speaking owner, Olivier, will go out of his way to make your stay in Paris special and enjoyable. The hotel feels like a small boutique hotel with all the personal attention you could desire. We consider the Arvor excellent value, and would not think of staying in any other hotel in Paris. We've recommended it to all our friends. Our only concern:with this review our "hidden" gem will be hidden no more. Bon voyage !!!
Well cared for
Stayed at the Hotel Arvor in Paris for 4 nights. It is located on a quiet side street right in the thick of paris. Small hotel run beautifully. Clean as can be, excellent people working there, very helpful and courteous. Our room was on the top floor, bathroom had an opening skylight...charming. Lovely stay, highly recommend.

With 2013 fast approaching, there are several fond memories that most WWE fans will take away from a fairly memorable 2012.
From WWE WrestleMania 28, Brock Lesnar's return, Raw 1000 and CM Punk's year-long title reign, we have witnessed enough to keep our insatiable pro wrestling appetites satisfied for at least another 12 months
Throughout this slideshow, I'll analyse the potential storylines and rivalries that will hopefully come to fruition in the new year and make for exciting television. Suffice to say that fans of The Great Khali and Hornswoggle, you can stop reading now.
While WWE Monday Night Raw and WWE SmackDown are theoretically still promoted as separate shows these days, the whimsical way superstars appear on each show, regardless of their draft status, means that rivalries can develop and continue all over the place.
In spite of the complete lack of focus regarding characters' commitments to their own shows, I'll be focusing solely on the superstars "contracted" to Raw in this slideshow, at least according to the folks at WWE.com anyway.
I hope you enjoy reading my thoughts, and if there's anything you think I should have included, I'll be happy to hear about it in the comments section.

GOOD 'N PLENTY: SMoCA's Community-Funded Artist Grant and Local Art Celebration Returns for Round Two in December
If your idea of the holiday season in Phoenix means giving, being able to drink coffee that isn't iced, and eating way too many sweets, then you'll want to pay attention to Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art 's big plans for December.
Good 'N Plenty is making its second go-around at SMoCA Lounge and will give one local artist a fantastic year-end treat.
See Also: - Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art Opening "SMoCA Lounge" in the Fall - Tania Katan Kicks Off a Literary/Performance Series at SMoCA Lounge
The purpose of Good 'N Plenty is simple: award a local artist a grant while providing a fun event that avoids the typical stuffiness prevalent in many grant ceremonies.
Upcoming Events

According to SMoCA Lounge Program Coordinator Tania Katan, the winner of the grant will be chosen from a group of local creative applicants (yes, there's still room to apply -- more on that later) and money for the grant comes from cash raised by the attendees of the Good 'N Plenty event at SMoCA Lounge on December 14.
Katan says the more people who attend, the larger the artist grant will be. And to make the award even sweeter, SMoCA's sister organization Scottsdale Public Art will be matching the amount raised for the grant.
All submissions will be eyed carefully by a panel of local professionals who were chosen based on diversity and how they connect art and the community, according to Katan. Members include Jaime Dempsey (Deputy Director of AZ Commission on the Arts), Gregory Sale (Assistant Professor in Intermedia at ASU), Claire Lawton (Editor of Jackalope Ranch at Phoenix New Times), Stacey Jay Cavaliere (Prevention Coordinator at 1n10), and Eric Iwersen (Principal Planner for City of Tempe).
Tania Katan presents the first GOOD 'N PLENTY grant.
The panel will chose six artists who will present their projects at the GOOD 'N PLENTY event on December 14 in the most entertaining and compelling way they can. The audience will then vote on which project/creative they want to win.
"Having the actual attendees vote on which project should receive the grant is another aspect that sets Good 'N Plenty apart," Katan says.
The first Good 'N Plenty grant of $1,000 was awarded to Catherine Reid, a teacher at Roadrunner Elementary School. Katan says Reid used the grant money to buy instruments for the after-school songwriting club she created.
Those wishing to apply to be a part of the final six are encouraged to check out the SMoCA Lounge website to get all the application information and guidelines.
Submissions for Good 'N Plenty end on December 11 and the event will take place December 14 at SMoCA Lounge located at 7374 E. 2nd Street at 7 p.m. Snacks will be provided from Super Chunk Sweets and Treats and Cowboy Ciao and caffeinated beverages brewed up by Cartel Coffee Lab.
Tickets for the event are $10 and can be purchased on the SMoCA Lounge website.

There's no mystery in why Hollywood keeps grinding out sequels: Put a number after a movie title these days and the line starts forming. But how many follow-ups can you name that equal or surpass a first-class original? Beyond The Godfather, Part II, I'm stumped. At best (the sequels to "Crocodile" Dundee, Rocky, Star Wars, Superman), we settle for more of the same without the exhilaration of discovery. At worst (the sequels to Rambo, Poltergeist, Jaws, Beverly Hills Cop), we find our goodwill so cynically exploited that we forget what we liked in the first place. Front and center this week are three new movies that try to dodge the sequel trap.

Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

This vacation was a fun one. Jill Zarin – of Real Housewive's glory – and her family invited me to come along on their family vacation to Aruba. I feel like I'm practically family – all of us have a form of arthritis or another, between Ally and her Spondylarthritis and Jon and his STILL's, and we all stuck together.
One might wonder what it's like to go on vacation with Jill Zarin. Well, in a word, fun. We had a great time ringing in the New Year together and the family was heaps of fun to hang out with.
There was one little catch: I was totally incapacitated all week – because of two torn ligaments in my foot. I'm not sure how it happened, but the whole time I was away I was unable to walk. Like really bad stuff – limping around or hopping on one foot. While the white sandy beaches of Aruba are filled with doctors, I had a hard time locating one to treat my foot (but dentists there seemed to be a plenty…). I think the pinnacle of pathetic, if I may identify one, was after the New Years celebration everyone wanted to go hang out in the casino. Unfortunately, that was just too far for me to walk, so instead I went back to the room. Except by the time I schlepped all the way up there, I realized that I didn't have my room key. And by that time, I made the executive decision to lay down on the floor of the hallway and "rest my eyes" until someone else came home. A moment (or hour) later, I hear from all the way down the hall "who is thaaaaat????" and was awoken and let into my room by Jill and co. Good thing, I would have had a bum foot and a stiff neck had I spent any more time outside.
Jill remains a good friend of the organization and I'm glad to know her. I hope everyone feels good this year. That's all we wished for: health and happiness.
From our families to yours – Happy New Year!
