Klippel-Trenaunay syndromeKlippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome; KTS; Angio-osteohypertrophy; Nevus varicosus osteohypertrophicus syndrome; Hemangiectasia hypertrophicans; Nevus verucosus hypertrophicans
Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is a rare condition that is present at birth. The syndrome usually involves port wine stains, excess growth of bones and soft tissue, and varicose veins.
Most cases of Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome occur for no apparent reason. However, a few cases are thought to be passed down through families (inherited), possibly as an autosomal dominant trait.
- Many port wine stains or other blood vessel problems, including dark spots on the skin.
- Varicose veins (may be seen in early infancy, but are more likely to be seen later in childhood or adolescence)
Other possible symptoms:
- Bleeding from the rectum
- Blood in the urine
Exams and Tests
Persons with this condition may have excessive growth of bones and soft tissue. This occurs most commonly in the legs, but it also may affect the arms, face, head, or internal organs.
Support Groups
It may be helpful to join a support group in which members share common problems and concerns.
The following organizations provide further information on Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome:
- The Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome Support Group --www.k-t.org
- Vascular Birthmarks Foundation -- www.birthmark.org
Outlook (Prognosis)
Mostpeople with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome do well, although the condition may affect their appearance. Some people havepsychological problems from the condition.
There can sometimes be abnormal blood vessels in the abdomen, which need to be evaluated.

Don't post on here much but I was having a debate that turned into an argument with one of my mates who watches MMA.
He said that if you go through every division in MMA with a particular focus on the UFC. He feels that the UK doesn't have two fighters per division who in the next 1-3 years will be able to make the step up and solidify themselves in the UFC.
I said that I felt that the UK had plenty of talent emerging who whilst not necessarily winning titles in the next 3 years could be at least competitive within the UFC. What do you guys think? Could you list two fighters in each division (women included) from the UK that you would expect to make a breakthrough in the next two years like Conor has this past year?

Product Details
Blinds.com's Easy Classic Pleat Draperies take the soft elegance of fabric, embellish them with a pinch pleat and create a "wow" factor within your room. These drapery panels offer a choice of rich jewel tones, sophisticated brights and soft, soothing neutrals, and are available as refined patterns, bold prints and eye-catching solids.
Easy Classic Pleat Draperies are distinguished by pinch pleats at the top of the panel, which easily attach to either a standard drapery rod with the assistance of hooks or to eyelet rings with the aid of decorative hardware.
Install Time: 30 - 35 Minutes
We Recommend:
Light filtering liners allow light to gently filter through the drapery. Room-darkening liners obstruct 95% of outside light, whereas blackout liners obstruct 100%. Note: Light-filtering fabrics will reveal silhouettes to the outdoors at night.
Panel-height dimension reflects the height of the finished product, including the pleat. Finished drapery length is recommended to be 1/2" off the floor.
Choose a split draw if you have two panels that you'd like to part in the middle and stack individually at each side of the window. Alternatively, a one-way draw will allow panels to stack together at one end.
For added variety and dimension, you can match these drapery panels with our Classic Roman Shades or add optional traversing drapery hardware.
Lining is strongly recommended to protect your draperies from sun and heat damage. In the case of silk and linen draperies, it is a must.
This product is sold as panels. For a pair, buy two and choose a split draw.
These draperies will come with built in pleats that will create gentle folds below when mounted to the rod, so simply order the exact width you want to cover.
When ordering the decorative rod upgrade, a 3 1/8" ball finial will come for each end of the rod. The finial width is not included in the width ordered.

With the assurance of the Blinds.com Warranty, you can trust that this product will last and provide added value and beauty to your home.
Surefit™ Guarantee
With SureFit™, a Blinds.com exclusive, we make sure you have complete peace of mind when measuring for any product we offer.
If you made a mistake measuring your blind, we'll remake it at no cost to you. You don't even pay for the return shipping of your old blind! You only pay if there's a difference in price between your old and new blind, or if the new blind requires a shipping fee (generally, this applies when it's over 94" wide).
Limit 1 remake per item; 4 remakes per household per lifetime (unless the error is ours, in which case, we'll make it right!). Same-product exchanges only, within 30 calendar days of receipt of package. Refunds are not offered under this guarantee. New blind must be the same product as the old blind and changes are restricted to only size and mount. Commercial orders do not qualify.
Product Specifications
Standard Blind Specifications:
- Available Panel Widths: from 24" up to 192" (note: this is the coverage width - meaning how much space the panel covers, not the width of your window)
- Available Panel Height: 24" up to 108" (note: the panel height is from the top of the rod to the floor - suggested 1/2" above floor)
- Decorative Rods are available up to 144" in width.
Mounting Requirements:
- Outside Mount Only: panels are available as outside mount, meaning they are installed above and around the window casing. Ideally, you would have 8" of wall space above and on each side of the window.
Optional Upgrades:

I think we will do just fine vs. the Cards. Guys, the series that has me REALLY concerned is the 4-gamer in Colorado after leaving St. Louis.
I believe that they sport the 2nd best home record in the NL and are usually a tough out in September.
"Booing on opening day is like telling grandma her house smells like old lady."--WOY
None of the remaining series worry me...I think this team will weather it all. They may build up a nice lead (7 or 8 games) before the Cards series and then step on their neck for the final blow. Best case scenario has the Reds 11 games up on the Cards at the end of the series. Worst case is now 1 game ahead. The way the Cards are playing, I don't realistically see us less than 5 games ahead AFTER the series ends. Face it! The 2010 Reds will be in the playoffs.
"Okay you guys, pair up in threes!" --Yogi Berra
I just wanted the magic # to 30 before September started. This is gravy with a day to go!

2013 Attendance Record: 5-2 2014 Attendance Record: 3-1
25 going into play on August 31
". . . acquiring J. Blanton from Oakland for, apparently, Bailey/Cueto, Votto and a lesser prospect. I do it in a second . . . The Reds' equation this year is simple: Make Matt Belisle your #3 starter . . . trade for Blanton, win 85 or more, be in the mix all summer." - Paul Daugherty, Feb. 8, 2008
Gallardo vs Harang will be tough tonight. And, obviously, this still isn't over. But, the Cards have their work cut out for them now. They'll need to win ALOT from here on out AND have the Reds collapse. But, I think there's a thread somewhere about playoff tickets that I'll have to check out now (just for the fun of it) ...
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
Gallardo has been dismal recently. In his last 6 outings, he's given up 26 runs, walking 13. He's still struck out 26 in those 31 1/3 innings. But nonetheless he's not been terribly sharp.
I think the Reds win tonight. I am actually excited about the return of Harang, and believe he'll do well.
"No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference." ~Tommy Lasorda

POMONA - Police arrested two San Gabriel Valley men Saturday on suspicion of operating a chop shop in Pomona and seized stolen property including a stolen handgun, authorities said.
Gabriel Mejia, 33, of Covina and Hijinio Arroyo, 37, of Glendora were each being held in lieu of $100,000 bail Sunday at the Pomona Police Department's jail, according to Pomona police and Los Angeles County booking records.
Officers acting on a tip from a confidential informant discovered the alleged chop shop about 1:45 p.m. at 1124 Price Street, Pomona police officials said in a written statement.
"When they arrived, several male subjects fled from the building," according to the police statement. One attempted to flee police by climbing onto the building's roof.
Officers detained two of the men -- later identified as Mejia and Arroyo -- then obtained consent to search the building, police said.
Inside, officers found several vehicles being dismantled and car parts scattered throughout the building, officials said. Three of the cars were determined to have been stolen.
In addition to the stolen vehicles and parts, officers also recovered a handgun that had been reported stolen, the police statement said.
According to county booking records, Mejia and Arroyo were scheduled to appear for arraignment Tuesday in Pomona Superior Court.

Choosing the right law school entails the consideration of numerous factors.
One often overlooked factor is how a student might become connected with the
community during law school, thereby laying the foundation for a successful
career once admitted to the bar. While the UW School of Law is one of the nation's
top public law schools, our rich and diverse legal community adds to the likelihood
that students will be active in scholarship and service by forming and maintaining
strong bonds with UW law alumni and leaders in Washington State.
The Minority Bar Associations of Washington have demonstrated a commitment to
diversity by welcoming recent law graduates, placing them in leadership positions
and working together to ensure the legal community is accessible to all. Links to
many of the Washington State minority bar associations are listed below.

Judy - from Florence, SC
All cakes will shrink slightly from the sides of their pan when taken out of the oven. If your cakes are shrinking more than normal they probably contain a high percentage of egg whites. Egg white based cakes (for example angel food cake) use egg white protein and air to provide structure for the cake. If the cakes are cooled upward, the weight of the cake will depress the air pockets resulting in cake shrinkage. For this reason, angelfood cakes are cooled upside down. To decrease the shrinkage of your cakes, you may want to add more whole eggs to your recipe or bake your recipe in an angel food cake pan, cooling the cake upside down.

Quakes Wondo wins MLS award in a walk
NEW YORK – San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski was voted the Volkswagen MLS Most Valuable Player for the 2012 season by a wide margin over the other finalists.
Wondolowski's 27 goals this season tied the League's all-time single-season goal record and won him a second Budweiser Golden Boot award. He also became the only player in MLS history to score the most regular season goals in three consecutive seasons. His consistency throughout the season earned him four MLS Player of the Month awards, a feat unrivaled through the sixteen MLS seasons.
The California native led the Earthquakes to their second Supporters' Shield title in club history, just a year removed from finishing 14th overall in the League.
Since entering MLS in 2005, Wondolowski has recorded a total of 68 league goals, 64 of which came after moving from Houston to San Jose in the middle of the 2009 season. He ranks twentieth all-time in MLS goal scoring, two behind Cobi Jones.
The award was voted on by media, MLS players and MLS club management based on regular season performance. The other two finalists were Sporting Kansas City midfielder Graham Zusi and New York Red Bulls forward Thierry Henry. Wodolowski received over 90% of both the media and club votes and over 70% of the player vote for a weighted total of 259.03. Henry finished second with a weighted total of 14.49. Zusi was third at 6.64 and Houston's Brad Davis fourth at 3.51.
All-Time MLS Most Valuable Players:
2012: Chris Wondolowski – San Jose Earthquakes
2011: Dwayne De Rosario – D.C. United
2010: David Ferreira – FC Dallas

Familiar foes on tap for Blazers
Not a media availability goes by recently in which Wesley Matthews isn't asked about his shooting. That just comes with the territory when you're second in the league in three-pointers made (45) and adjusted field goal percentage (69 percent), sixth in points per shot (1.53) and seventh in three-point percentage (51 percent). Trying to come up with different ways of saying "I don't know why I'm shooting so well" is a problem any player in the league would be happy to have.
Though it won't last forever. While it's possible that Matthews, who has always been an above-average three-point shooter, morphed into one of the premier shooters in the league over the course of the offseason, it's more likely that he's simply riding a hot streak that will eventually come to an end.
But he's okay with that. There's no challenge on the court that Matthews isn't up for, but even he conceded shooting ten percentage points better than his career average from three on a nightly basis might be unlikely, even if he thinks, as he does, that every shot he takes us going in.
"I know I'm not going to shoot 54, 53 percent from the three or whatever it is every night," said Matthews. "I'm almost glad that I didn't do (against New York). I didn't do it against Milwaukee, we won. I didn't do it (against New York), we won."
If the Trail Blazers were to rely on Matthews shooting 50 percent or better from three in order to win games, they wouldn't be 13-2. It certainly helps when he does, but there has always been a teammate ready to pick up the slack when Matthews has had an "off" night shooting.

Mo Williams will be back in the lineup after serving a one-game suspension for this fight in the Golden State Game on Saturday:

Students and alumni earn NSF Graduate Student Fellowships
By Steven Powell, email@example.com, 803-777-5400
Six University of South Carolina students and alumni have been selected to receive 2012 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships.
The three-year fellowships, each worth approximately $125,000, were awarded to Reginald "Reggie" Bain, Tori Espensen-Sturges, Patrick Hankins, Lesley Joseph, Robin Neumayer and Stephen Timko.
Four honorable mentions in this prestigious graduate fellowship competition were also named: Jacqueline Cantwell, Chase W. Nelson, Huong Giang Thai Nguyen and Ronald James "Jim" Talbert.
The graduate fellowship program is one of NSF's oldest, with roots in the foundation's original 1950 charter, offering support for graduate study in all scientific disciplines. Since 1994, USC students and recent graduates have won 64 NSF Graduate Research Fellowships.
The USC NSF committee comprised Erin Connolly (chair; biological sciences), Brian Habing (statistics), Michael Matthews (chemical engineering), Melayne McInnes (economics) and Ken Shimizu (chemistry and biochemistry).
2012 NSF Graduate Research Fellows
Reginald "Reggie" Bain, of Columbia, is a 2012 South Carolina Honors College graduate with a double major in physics and mathematics. Bain is co-founder and co-director of Carolina Science Outreach, a student organization dedicated to giving science presentations at schools around South Carolina.

Haha, it's cool. It uses like 10mb of RAM, works extremely well. Fun to use.
this would go great with passport!
please tell me we have something like this for the iphones keyboard! lol
Man...this forum needs a "worthless app of the day" section.
I have no idea why I want this but I do
The reason the application is interesting, in my opinion, is because it offers a type of haptic feedback. It seems to be popular and preferred to have some kind of haptic feedback while typing on electronic devices. Some phones vibrate when you type on the keyboard, others play keyboard clicks – computers don't do anything because all you can hear is the clickity clack of your fingers on the plastic keys. This application offers a nice change and a sense of customization.
I like the part where he goes like "gets $50... *backspace backspace* mad props"
I don't see how any other sound would give any more of a "feedback" than the "clickity clack of your fingers on the plastic keys". It's simply adding another sound to accompany the "clickity clack". Will you turn the volume up to drown out the "clickity clack"?
The louder that you have the volume, yes, it can drown out the typing noises that your fingers make.
It's obviously a difference of opinion, but why not give the application a try and see if you like it?
You should really change that to "type of feedback", or "an alternative to haptic feedback". Audio still isn't a type of haptic feedback. You've essential said sound is a type of vibration.
Haptic feedback was created, for touch screen devices, to give the user the illusion that they are using a real keyboard. Haptic is supposed to give the user a simulated feel to pressing actual keys on a keyboard. That's why phones with keyboards don't have haptic feedback, that would be unnecessarily redundant.
Edit: woops wrong reply

Nothing the room was cold the reception said you have a radiator-it did not work- we asked for blankets there was none- the hot water for a shower was tepid we did not use any facility as there was none Nothing the room was cold the reception said you have a radiator-it did not work- we asked for blankets there was none- the hot water for a shower was tepid we did not use any facility as there was none
Hot, noisy, uncomfortable beds, very difficult to find, as the name is not on the hotel or posted anywhere.
It was cheap and cheerful and a great option for a one night stopover for a latenight arrival to Girona before setting off to the Costa Blanca
The staff was wonderful, very nice people and helpful. They offer you all the information you need, and it was clean, and not expensive.
Good staff, clean rooms Situated far from the centre, was difficult to find transport, didn't feel comfort because of noise in the corridor and other roomsю
On the info, it said this hotel was near the centre of Girona, it is not. We had to get a taxi and that cost 15€ each way.
This is not a hotel it's rather a Hostal!
The Hostel was difficult to find, even though we were using Sat Nav
We arrived late (12 at night) and left after breakfast, so we did not have the chance to experience much of the facilities.
Some of the staff was very helpful The air in the room was stale. the buffet was too expensive
SHdeG provided an excellent shuttle service to the airport, the bus to Girona stopped outside the door , the reception service was efficient and friendly, the room comfortable and good value.We didn't use the restaurant or the Spa as it was an overnight stay .
Convenience to airport and transfer service. Nice room. Good buffet breakfast. Unfortunately it wasn't explained anywhere that the transfer service operated from the airport to the hotel (by calling the hotel) as late as midnight, so we took a taxi unnecessarily.
The location is excellent: near of the Girona airport, with airport transfer service. The hotel is very confortable, with excellent facilities.
The pool and spa was a very welcome addition. Very relaxing.
very funky interior, close to airport, free transfer, good free wifi
As a solo woman traveller, I booked this hotel as it had stated to be within walking distance of the airport and also there was a shuttle bus from airport to take me to hotel. However I arrived at airport approx 9.30pm, no sign of shuttle bus! As it was dark and I didn't know the way to the hotel I got a taxi. It was a complete rip off! €11.95 for a 4 min drive!
the friendliness and help of the staff
It is an amazing place to stay for the weekend, rooms are comfy, staff very attentive, wonderful views over the city. It is missing a fitness room and a covered secure garage.
Complimentary Mini Bar in Room and Reception, Clean and Modern Rooms. 5 star hotel should have some sort of leisure facility , Gym / Swimming Pool
Liked the design, comfort, view, breakfast staff, and free mini bar & lounge drinks & snacks Dinner at the hotel was over priced in relation to the quality and quantity of the food.
Good , clean design hotel. Nice view over Girona. In experienced staff at check-in desk. No internet access for a few hours due to technical problems.
Hotel was clean and quiet, staff were pleasant and helpful, room and bed were comfortable, view was nice. Breakfast was good but expensive. Hotel is a good 15 minute walk from the old city centre and is set apon a steep hill so is only suitabe for the able bodied.
good quality hotel at reasonable price
We loved the hotel for the lovely terrace and bar area. It was so relaxing after a long day walking about, just to sit with a drink and admire the view Although the hotel was a bit of a hike up the hill, it was well worth it for the fantastic vistas. The only down side was the location, at the top of a steep hill. This would not put us off staying here again, as we just loved the hotel and the walk was worth it.
the peace and quiet, and the view the hill up from Girona and lack of tea/coffee making facilities in the bedroom, albeit there was tea/coffee in the reception area, also a hotel of this calibre should have breakfast included in the price.
The excellent design. The soundproofing could be improved. We could hear the television from the next room
1. the service at the lobby 2. the landscape seen from the hotel large terrace. 1. the door to the toilet room door did not closed all the way and was not lockable. 2. there is only one chair at the room.
Extremely pleasant hotel, good and even stylish breakfast with a great variety, cool rooms, free wifi, even free parking available in streets around the hotel. Downtown Girona is at around 20 min. by foot, supermarket nearby. We definitively would stay there again whenever going to Girona.
location Probably wil choose another just for variety :)
Convenient location. Close to centre of town and to train/bus terminal Shouting and noise from street at night.
Perfectly placed for the tourist district and old quarter of Gerona. Friendly staff who were happy to provide a map and directions.
Location was brilliant. Staff very friendly. Alterations were being done to the reception area whilst we stayed and we could see that it was going to look lovely. We did not eat at the hotel so cannot comment on the service or food. We would stay again. We would of liked a kettle in the room but this was not a huge problem for us.
The location of the hotel is within a short walk of the old town - very convenient.
Basic clean and what you pay for at present, perfect shower.very dated but okay for a short stay. Able to have dbl bed !!! unheard of in spanish hotels. needs a little soundproofing !!!!
Convenience for visting old town. Beds comfortable.Fridge in room.Clean and tidy. Corridors had dingy feel to them and needed the paintwork refreshing. Thin walls between the rooms although we were not bothered by any noise particularly.Tea and coffee making facilities would have been good.
Good location. Quite near to both the city centre and station.
Location was wonderful There was no bar for drinks or snacks.
it is very well placed for sightseeing in the city.
It was central and spacious with good facilities and helpful staff. Breakfast was particularly comprehensive and good quality. Our original room was too hot due to the non availability of aircon due to building work/improvements but we were readily offerred an alternative room on the cooler side of the hotel which we took up.
Staff were polite and helpful. The quality of food was excellent. Room was clean and comfortable.Good parking arrangements. Because there were no other options in the area for eating, the Hotel has a captive audience, and the prices reflect this, both for foof and drinks, which is a shame. The food was excellent, but with no lower priced options, it makes staying there for the independent traveller very pricey, especially as this was not even in high season.
Stayed there for less than 24 hours, but it was close to the things that we whanted to see and comfortable.
We have stayed at the hotel before and always found it to be ideal for our needs and would recommend it to our friends,should the need arise we would stay there again.
Non chargable internet access
excellent and helpful staff no
Excellent location. The hotel was extremely comfortable and the staff wellcoming and helpful.
very cosy but i would like the name of the tapas in english at the terrace
Hotel reception were quite good with their english. Breakfast was very expensive so we didn't take it up (so can't comment whether it's worth it) - we went to a cafe around the corner and had coffee and quite a nice ham roll for a less than a 5th of what we would've paid for the hotel breakfast.
Everything was excellent Liked everything
Not a lot it was nothing special and cost us £100 for just the room we would not stop there again It was not good value for money
lovely newly refurbished bedroom and bathroom
the hotel is redesigned ,rooms are well decorated,staff is helpfull,very good value for your money.excellent location.
Nice, spacious room with excellent bathroom. Superb breakfast. Friendly staff. The parking facility is not for the claustrophobic and people with large cars cannot use it. Also, the access has no ramp which is bad for the car.
Hotel Gran Ultonia was a very new modern & spacious hotel close to the old city attractions of Girona
very comfortable rooms, nice interior, hotel parking nearby, located in the center of the city, not far from main seesights.
Most comfortable hotel bed in world, great buffet breakfast Lobby area under reconstruction 16 hours a day, no satellite TV signal for foreign language stations except CNN, view from room blocked by close multi-storey car park
food left out for buffet no refrigeration or covers
Having free internet. Helpful staff. Rooms were clean and tidy. Bus into Girona only a few minutes walk and cheap. The gym is very poor with only an old sit on bike - needs replaced. Suggest adding a cross trainer or tread machine.
buffet meals
Friendly and efficient staff It won't happen regularly but when we were staying the elevator broke down (while my son was using it) There's only one elevator, so this was a bit if a set back. Checking out was hard work with luggage carrying through stairways.
the free parking.
Good Service No
cleanliness, and breakfast none
hotel staff attention to client
Modern, spacious room with convenient location for exploring Girona. Very nice breakfast buffet. Dealt with three different desk clerks. The two men were very helpful and pleasant to deal with. The third was a woman who seemed indifferent and not very interested in being helpful. Also, the staff seemed somewhat disorganized.
The breakfast was great The connexion of the showerhead was lame,.
Staff were very helpful and the hotel well located No meals other than breakfast
The friendliness of the staff.
comfortable room, good service, easy to find
The staff were very pleasant and helpful and spoke English. The breakfast was good even if the buffet had a limited range and was the same every day.
Very good location for Airport stop over - situated just off motorway about 15 minutes from airport. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful.Car parking and breakfast included in price. Situated next to a new shopping complex. Local bus close by and only 1.25 euro to centre of Girona. This is an International chain of Hotels - The Girona Holiday Inn is very comfortable but lacks Spanish charm /gardens etc.
the friendliness and helpfulness of the check in staff
-hotel nice and clean and staff was very nice far away from airport and barcelona
The fact that we were offered the possibility of a basic breakfast in spite of our 05:00 departure from the hotel. The distance from the airport which added to the "cost" of the hotel.
Reception nice and easygoing Bad parkingspot no light unattended bad for business do it better
Access to the town was good, the local restaurants were handy and good quality. The rooms were quiet and clean. Yes, the bathroom basin plug was broken and there was no soap in the hand basin dispenser.
Very good room, very good breakfast, efficient check-in and check-out, good location of the hotel the garage spaces are very small
As we only stayed overnight the bed!
The town of Girona is beautiful and the hotel and the staff were friendly. the old town and historic area are well worth the visit and a must see. The hotel is located near the commercial part of the town and so you have to be prepared to walk for 15-20 mins to access the beautiful old town.
The hotel is in an excellent location and has secure parking.When our car broke down the hotel were extremely helpful. Food served by room service was disappointing
room was clean and comfortable parking was limited / small, not all items in mini bar / toilet were refilled during my stay.
Ariel at Reception was the only team member that displayed exemplorary guest service skills. He was always very helpful and willing to offer information relating to the city etc. He is a credit to the company. Breakfast service - had to ask for coffee . Restaurant staff were more focused on clearing tables rather than serving clients. Description of breakfast in guest directory led us to believe that there would be a substantial choice, when infact was merely an adequate selection. Hence we only took breakfast once during our stay. Food was well cooked and presented, just not what we anticipated.
The hotel was relaxes and quiet. Some outside space to sit and have a snack or drink would have been appreciated.
beds very comfortable. Staff very pleasant internet works well parking expensive
A great hotel, good staff and excellent facility. Well worth the money
The hotel as great - location,room,food,stuff The parking of the hotel is a bit compliacted and thus I used an outside parking
Air conditioner didn't work _ it took almost a hour to change the room
clean comfy room. lovely staff and very good value for money. not at all.
It is near the airport, and value for money. Room was adequate. Airconditioning could only be set on heating, which in turn was too hot. No shower gel, and blood stains on curtains, made it a bit disgusting
Simple hotel, great value for money. Perfect for one night near the airport of Girona
The room was great, like futuristic. The flat screen TV was good too. The bathroom was clean and neat, there was AC. A very nice hotel. Staff was helpful with helping us get a taxi at 4:15 in the morning! Just a little far from the city center, but buses run.
hotel location, parking availibility -----
It was near the shopping centre & the airport.
hotel staff assistance; breakfast; simple but comfortable room. internet services were quite expensive; address of hotel was not on GPS, was quite difficult to find it.
i really enjoyed my stay at the hotel.. it was very comfortable
Our room was always clean and tidy. Very basic services but had everything that was required for a budget hotel.
Good facilities, close to shopping mall with food outlets with discounts for hotel guests. Convenient for motorway but without traffic noise.
The hotel is very nicely situated close to the historic city centre. The hotel offer you a neat and very nice room. We liked the stay a lot.
Ciutat de Girona is perfectly placed in the city centre. Whether you want to go shopping, out to eat, or see the sights it's all an easy walk. The longest walk we had was to the bus & train station, but even they were only a 15 minute amble. Girona is beautiful and the Ciutat de Girona makes the stay a comfortable, easy and enjoyable one!
service, quality and friendliness no wireless access in rooms
The staff was great and the location excellent. Everything was in line with my expectations.
excellent hotel in central position. Staff very hekpful.
We were very friendly welcomed by the desk-manager and it set the tone of our stay : helpful and relaxed, yet efficiently managed. Room and bathroom were large and spotless. Even if our room was just across the elevator, there was no outside noise and we slept easily. The buffet breakfast was well stocked and available till 11 am, which is a bonus on holiday. We would definitely stay in this hotel again ! At night the restaurant Blanc served only a menu, the quality of the main course was rather average.
The hotel was spotless. The breakfast excellent .The mini bar was a nice touch and welcome when we arrived. Staff were very helpful. Few english speaking channels on tv. World news silent and the volume very low on other english speaking channels.
Warm courteous staff, cool vibe, great location
hospitality and comfort. Central to shopping .It was our 2nd stay at this hotel and will be back again next year. the breakfast was not good value for money but the evening meals are excellent.
Good location near city center Parking is a nightmare and staff was very unhelpful.
Ideal location for exploring the old city The shower didn't drain away quick enough despite the hotel fixing it, and the modern trendy wash hand basin could have benifited from a proper plug. But hey, it's Spain and it's a modern, clean hotel.
It was relatively inexpensive, very clean and seemed quite a new Hotel. This Hotel is very much designed for the budget traveller, so don't have too high expectations. The breakfast at Eur3.90 was minimal. Although the breakfast was much cheaper than at other Hotels, I would not recommend the breakfast. No shampoo in the rooms (only soap). The Hotel seemed to be on the edge of town. It was a 33 minute walk to the Girona train station.
Breakfast and free computer access. It is still expensive for what it offers - for example there is no comfortable seat in the double bedroom just one small plastic stool - verey spartan.
Clean, nice rooms, Very poor breakfast, hotel out of town, no day time snack bar
Clean, excellent staff, good parking, good breakfast, good value for money Room a little too warm, ineffective air conditioning, poor quality food at the next door Ibis (same company)
Clean room, nice shower, free internet access in lobby. I arrived at 9pm and hungry, however there was no food available at the hotel (a group had booked the restaurant). The hotel location was also poor (difficult to get anywhere without a car) which meant I didn´t get any food until I checked out the next morning.
price spartan
Spartan, clean. Better for travellers with cars. Not so close to the centrum of the city.
Clean, quiet, nice and helpful and informative staff, Shelves in the room and bathroom would be useful
Room was very clean, staff were excellent and very well informed of the local area. We were given a double room, when we had booked a twin. However, it was no problem to change. The location of the hotel was not good, we had to walk along a stretch of dual carriageway to get to the local town. The room had no wardrobe, just 3 hangers on a hook.
Cleanliness of the room and the hotel being practically new. It was way out of the centre of the city and very difficult to reach by foot, especially when going fully loaded with your luggage.
It was close to everything The walls are very thin and you can hear everything!!!
Clean, central and friendly. Nice breakfast. Friendly staff who speak some English and are keen to help. Comfortable bed. Great shower. Some noise late at night from corridor.
Simply, I like everything! N/A
Nicely refurbished, clean and well-decorated, particularly the bathroom. Breakfast was of a good standard and choice. Would have liked individual toiletry items in the bathroom. Some street/traffic noise in the morning from our room.
friendly stuff
My daughter and I were delighted with the size and cleanliness of the bathroom, with the large walk-in shower--quite an improvement over the typical budget 24-inch by 24-inch stall. The breakfast--a nice cheese-and-cold-cuts with rolls affair, with pastry options--was better than average for budget hotels. Coffee--espresso--was served to us by the kitchen staff. View from room (exterior) was pleasant (a hillside with attractive buildings) and there was no bothersome noise in November from the street. The twin beds, while adequate, were no better in comfort than the typical budget hotel's. For whatever reason, we slept fitfully. The hotel's location, while about a quarter mile from the walled city, hadn't much charm in itself.
central position did not like first room we booked small 3 bedroom
The cleanliness of the room, the location and the sympathy of the staff
Spacious room and bathroom. Good shower Mirror in the bedroom would be useful.
Three things were excellent : the location, the pleasantness and friendliness of the staff and the breakfasts. My single room was poorly lit and did not have any natural daylight. Also the room was a bit spartan but what did I expect for 39 euros a night!
The position of hotel was good in the centre of Girona. Staff were very helpful and breakfast (continental) was perfectly adequate. The decor is a little tired very tired in places, although it looks as if they are gradually improving this. Saying this the rooms and facilities were clean.
Being close to the shops & resturants. Feeling safe.
The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were vert clean.
The room was great and the location perfect
Access to the old town and cafes and restaurants The peninsular uses combined air con and heating whicj is noisy. The batroom was cold
Excellent central location, excellent shopping, close to train and bus station for easy access to Barcelona and the Costa Brava. Staff were extremely helpful. Nothing
the location is perfect, rooms are clean and cosy, everything looks new the walls between rooms are very thin, you can hear everything that happens in the next room 20 euros per day for the safety box is too much
Nothing to rave about, nothing to complain about either - for 38€ I feel I got exactly what I paid for.
good central location and friendly and helpful staff
The ideal location - close to the old town and the shopping area. Station is an easy walk away for trips to Barcelona or Figeuras. Helpful and friendly staff.
It is central
location, decor...cold beer breakfast
Comfortable room, good bed and bathroom,and excellent airco.Perfect sound isolation.
Very good location for visiting Dali museums, easy access off main roads and good (free) parking by Reception. Couple of close basic food shops and decent size playground almost opposite. Good double glazing made for quiet rooms. Free WIFI. Location is in industrial part -not much to see or do immediately around, but good for stop-over if passing through.
Very kindly staff, good service. Very god and varing breakfast. The towels were not good for wiping after the shower.
The hotel is associated with a neighbour restaurant where we had the menu of the day... This meal was really not good and a big disappointment.
very nice and friendly hotel. girona is a fantastic place and this hotel does it admirable justice. admittedly, it would have been nicer if the hotel was a little closer to the city centre but its not really that far away - a 30 minute walk in pleasant sunshine. on the whole, i liked it and i'd happily stay there again.
very very nice service from all staff
Excellent location to explore Girona and the Costa Brava (better if you have a car though). Room and furniture are very clean, new and in great condition. Air condition, overall sound isolation and bed mattress quality are well above standard. A real pleasure to sleep there! The breakfast also deserves a recommendation: For 10.70€ you get a rich choice of fresh breads, rolls, Kellogg's, different Nespresso pads, nice loose tea. And: The overall price is very competitive. Thanks to the friendly staff for the nice stay!
Hotel is new and is furnished is a very clean and modern fashion. Room was very quiet - which says a lot about they sound-proofing they installed, as the street is fairly noisey. We ate breakfast in their dining room (a small buffet), and it turned out to be very nice - including excellent cafe con leche. Hotel isn't in a great neighborhood but is actually very convenient to both the highway and downtown Girona (about 4 KM straight down the road).
Ella, best of all because she spoke English and was always helpful with a smile. Inconvenient to the city without a car. Buses OK but not great if you don't speak the language
The location of the hotel and the considerate and competent way I was treated by the two young women who meet the public. They could also tell you, by telephone how to get to the hotel without getting lost. (June 2009).
Its central position, the friendliness of the staff, particularly on reception. The efficient self service breakfast, best experienced anywhere. Cleanliness of rooms and communal areas. Lovely en suite bathroom. The bedroom was ultra modern and stylish which we liked but the control switches to operate lighting etc were quite challenging. Given the water shortages in this area during the summer I had reservations about the unconventional wash basin. There was no facility for capturing the running water in the basin (ie no plug) and therefore the water just drained away which I felt to be very wasteful.
The hotel was very central to the old town and its shopping facitilties. It was very modern and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The electronic system in the rooms were quite difficult to get to grips with. We kept opening the curtains instead of turningthe lights on!!!
The room and bathroom are quit big size and comftable with the most technology. After 11pm no receptionest or security???
Excellent reconstruction of well sited building in historic setting in old town into an upmarket stylish contemporary small hotel legends
What a nice butique hotel - make sure that you have the only room with a whirlpool bath :)
Location is excellent. Nice staff. Room design is aggressively modern - white walls with glass accents, rosewood built-in furnishings. Bathroom contains zingy, high-style fixtures but this is separated from main room by a sandblasted glass enclosure. This means that the sounds, and at night the light, of another person using the bathroom are very present. We decided that the place would be ideal for a young couple having a dirty weekend (hotel conveniently provides a booklet of "tantric sex for dummies" plus advertises a "sensuality pack" for sale), but it's less than ideal for travellers and tourists.
Located in heart of historic centre, perfect location. Excellent, young, multi-lingual and very helpful staff. Remote control for lighting in bedroom and bathroom was not easy to understand as instructions in Catalan! Being city centre a little noisy at times.
Comfortable, spacious room with high quality, modern fixtures and fittings. Friendly, helpful staff. Central location.
very pleasant staff and locals. beautiful relaxing atmosphere. perfect position near cathedral and old town light switches a little confusing - would have liked kettle in own room and breakfast facilities on last day as had to leave by 7;15. lack of space for clothes. not keen on there being little privacy in bath room/toilet

Utah bound
For those of you who have a free weekend — assuming your weekend starts on Thursday (hopefully) — and you happen to live within walking, driving or flying distance of Salt Lake City, the Utah Open Source Conference is someplace you might want to be.
According to this badge, yours truly is speaking. Well not really speaking as such — although finding me at a venue where I'm not speaking is rare, unless I greak into my impersonation of Marcel Marceau — but I am running the Fedora Activity Day which, next to talks by Paul Frields and Ian Weller, is the highlight of the event (if I do say so myself).
The booth will be open for business, as usual, complete with the usual "stuff we all get" (aka "swag") and media. In fact, I thought I had given out all the Fedora buttons I had at OSCON until I found a box of buttons in the trunk of my car, left there since OSCON no doubt.
The Fedora Activity Day, on Thursday Oct. 8, will revolve around the design and creation of a workflow for the Fedora Event Splash application. The concept is simple, but there are a lot of things to decide before getting this up and running. It starts at 12:30, but you're welcome to stop by anytime during the course of the FAD.
Following the FAD will be a Birds of a Feather meeting at 6:30, where we'll either socialize (one vote here for that!) and/or continue working on the application.
A running narrative on UTOSC will appear here, starting with the train trip on Wednesday — despite the derisive mocking I get from my colleagues, I refuse to fly unless completely necessary — and throughout the end of the week next week.
Watch this space.
