Banana Topped Pancakes
Today, I ran. Yes, I said, I RAN!!! Those who know me, know normally I wouldn't run unless I was being chased by a bad guy, a swarm of bees, or I was running towards Matt Bomer. I started by walking, but just couldn't get my heart rate up enough, so I started a trot which led to a nice jog/run pace. Did I enjoy it?? Hell no, but I have been trying to change up my workouts. I figured doing this every now and then won't kill me (I hope).
OK, so there's the workout update. Family update: not too much going on. Adam had his Orchestra concert last night. It was really wonderful. We experienced the beginner players, then were treated to middle school Chamber Group, and two high school bass state champions.
Now on to the new recipe for today. With Mother's Day approaching I wanted to post an easy breakfast or brunch item. I made these for dinner last week, and the boys loved them. Now, I will say banana topped pancakes are a treat. What day better to treat mom than Mother's Day?!
recipe (serves 6)
1 batch of your favorite pancake recipe, I used my light and fluffy pancakes
2 medium ripe bananas, sliced
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3 tbsp. butter
whipped cream
First prepare your pancakes and start them on the griddle. You can make the pancakes and stack them in a warm oven first or do it the same time as the topping.
In a skillet, melt the butter and brown sugar over a low flame until sugar is dissolved (about 3 to 4 minutes). Add cinnamon and sliced bananas. Gently coat bananas in the brown sugar sauce. Don't cook them too long or they will be mushy, only about a minute or two until they are warm.
Spoon sauce over pancakes and top with whipped cream. Enjoy!

Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Chicken
Yes, I am a strange food texture phobic person. I don't like anything slimy, gloopy (yes that is a word), mealy, mushy, and the list goes on. So the typical sweet and sour sauce falls into the gloopy category.....yuck! Now that is my personal opinion. This sauce is thinner and just coats everything nicely without congealing.
As I mentioned before, I do the bulk of the work the night before. That consists of browning the chicken, slicing the vegetables, and making the sauce. The next morning, dump in the slower cooker, open a few cans, and turn it on. Voila!!!
1 lb. diced chicken, I used a combination of skinless thighs and breasts
1 medium green pepper
3 large carrots
1/4 c. sliced onion, or 1 tbsp. minced dried onion flakes
1 small can water chestnuts
1 small can pineapple chunks, with juice
1/3 c. brown sugar
1/3 c. rice vinegar
1 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tbsp. corn starch
The night before in a large skillet, sprinkle with salt & pepper and brown the diced chicken. Do not cook through, just brown on all sides (takes about 3 minutes or so). Set aside to cool.
Peel and slice the carrots, pepper, and onion. Put in an airtight container.
In a large measuring cup, combine brown sugar, vinegar, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap.
Ok, the prep work is done, cover everything, and refrigerate until morning.
In the morning, dump the chicken and prepared veggies in the slow cooker. Sprinkle with the cornstarch and toss to coat. Add the pineapple with juice to the measuring cup and combine to finish the sauce. Pour over the chicken and vegetables. Set the slow cooker to low for 6 hours.
An hour before the chicken is done, add the drained water chestnuts. Serve over rice.

What Could This Be?
I have a busy week coming up, and the last thing I want to think about is dinner. Unfortunately my family is in the habit of eating it....hmmm. I had a few extra minutes today, so I decided to prep a crock pot meal.
What could it be?? Here's a picture of the main ingredients. Care to venture a guess? Check back on Tuesday to find out!

4 Ingredient Chili
Today I am home bound with my oldest having round two of strep throat. When I was shopping yesterday, I found ground beef on sale. While at the store I believed I had all the rest of the ingredients at home to make my classic chili recipe. So, this morning when I went to the pantry to gather the ingredients, I realized I am out of crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, fire roasted tomatoes, and onion.
Ok, so what do I have??? I had one can of stewed tomatoes, one can of chili beans, and left over pasta sauce. I always have minced dried onion in my spices, so I knew I could swap that for fresh onion. I was back in business.
Now I have listed this as four ingredients because I am not technically counting the spices. Spices are staples for a lot of us. However, if you want to get picky you I guess it would be considered eight ingredients if you count the four spices ;)
2 lbs. ground beef (ground chicken or turkey work well too)
2 c. pasta sauce (jarred or home made)
1 14.5 oz can stewed tomatoes
1 can Bush's chili beans
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. dried onion
2 tbsp. chili powder
In a large stock pot or deep fry pan (like a chicken fryer), brown meat with onion in about 2 tsp. oil. Once all the meat is browned, drain any excess grease. Add the salt, pepper, and chili powder. Cook the meat for another two to three minutes to allow the spices to develop.
Add the tomatoes (breaking them up a bit), pasta sauce, and chili beans. Combine and cover. Simmer on low for about 30 minutes.
That's it! You are done. It's easy, delicious, and is a staple in our home.

My Dinner Date
So what brought about this epiphany? A little visit from on old friend. I was very blessed yesterday, when my dear friend traveled over 300 miles with a bad back to have dinner with me. While we keep in touch through messaging, we haven't seen each other in about eighteen months. She is moving on to a new chapter of her journey, but she took time out to have dinner with me.
We used to have lunch dates weekly when I lived in Oneonta (sometimes twice in one week). During those lunch dates our friendship blossomed, and I knew I had a friend for life. Our conversations ranged from food, to children, to travel, and to our passions. I was remembering today a conversation from a few years back, that had my friend telling me she was thinking about changing her career path. I was excited for her and one of her biggest supporters.
A lot of people want to change things in life and do nothing. What was different about her statement was, she actually did it. She gathered the knowledge, training, and experience she needed and embarked on a new adventure. I have always been so proud of her!
While remembering that moment today, I decided I am taking charge of the things I want to change. First, my poor neglected blog. I promise to keep updating recipes, crafts, and posting about the changes in our lives. Secondly, I have slacked on my exercise regime for the last six months. That is done! I am getting back on my routine and putting myself first. Finally, my happiness. That will be the hardest one to work on. I am a people pleaser, so I tend to say yes and put off my own needs. Let's just say that will be a work in progress.
My dinner date and late night conversation was inspiring. Sometimes the kick in the pants comes at the most unexpected times. The trick is to recognize it and use it!
Tomorrow I will rekindle my interest in the quilt I started over the summer. I will keep you posted on how it goes :)

Easy Bias Scarf
The pattern itself is super duper easy:
Worsted Weight
Cast on 30 stitches.
Row 1: Increase the first stitch, knitting front to back, continue to knit, and knit last two stitches together.
Row 2: Knit.
Repeat until desired length. I did 65 inches. The pattern said anywhere from 65 to 80 inches. The scarf will knit on a diagonal, and with the striping yarn, it gives a neat look.

What Will It Be???
Sometimes in life you are asked to be a part of something very special. A few weeks ago, I was having some dark moments, when everything seemed very dim. Then I got a message from a friend letting me know she was expecting. That was wonderful news by itself.
Then she asked if I would be a part of their special moment of revealing the gender?? I was thrilled! I needed some happiness and this was right up my alley. So, today the happy couple had their ultrasound to find out the gender. I was brought the envelope, and I made a gender reveal cake for their party.
This was so exciting!! I know even before the expectant parents. I treasure moments like these. So what will it be? Boy or girl? Well, I can't tell just yet.....I am awaiting pictures ;)
Here are a few pictures, although I blurred out the baby's last name....the writing is the daddy's original verbiage.

In-house's signature Sauna Stone Bowl (RM9.90 for vege, RM12.90 for fish OR chicken). You can choose to savour it with brown rice, pumpkin noodles or rice noodles. Being served in a stone bowl, it is certainly sizzling hot and tongue-burning. While it may appear very plain and dominated by greens and other vegetables, the soup is rather flavourful and it's very appetizing for those who wish to warm their stomachs. The portion is huge too, I don't think any average eater could finish it single-handedly.

Vt. Electric Co-op returning $850K to members
MONTPELIER The Vermont Electric Cooperative is returning $850,000 to members, the first time its made such a distribution in its 75-year history.
In previous years, the Co-op has reinvested earnings in upgrades to its electrical system and used capital to secure power supply contracts.
Vermont Public Radio reports (http://bit.ly/1aIvEa4) the co-op recently adopted new policies that enable patronage capital distributions. Thats based on the principle that the economic benefits of a cooperatives operation should be returned to its members or reinvested in the co-op.
The distributions apply to members during 1997 and 2012. Active members in good account standing and with patronage capital balances from these years can expect to receive a credit on their bills between now and mid-October.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER An independent school that its director calls student directed has received the...

"Arsenal need to buy four players, they need that spine. They need a goalkeeper, they still need a centre-back, they still need a holding midfielder and, I'm afraid, they need a top, top-quality striker in order to win this league again."
Thierry Henry, Sky Sports
They have a statue of Thierry Henry outside the Emirates Stadium. For most Arsenal fans he was the champion of champions, the Achilles from Paris, whose frontline attack brought glories wherever he spearheaded a team of Invincibles.

Its works wonderfully! Emails collected are redirected to a common mailing address.
Very useful and simple plugin for collecting emails. Yesterday I didn't know how to do it at all and today its perfectly working on [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ]. I recommend it.
Just a quick update. This plugin is awesome! I've upgraded to WordPress 4.0 and the plugin is still working well. I could not be happier with the ease of setting up and using it.
I'm giving away 2 free eBooks on my website [moderated] and collecting email addresses for future follow up campaigns.
Thank you so much,
I installed this plugin last year to collect email addresses for a new music project I was working on. I can say that it has worked flawlessly since I installed it. Also - the developer was EXTREMELY helpful in tweaking a bit of the code for me and answering my questions. I got a response within an hour of asking.
Anyway - I've collected and exported over 10,000 email addresses since last year and this plugin has worked through every WordPress update within that time.
I highly recommend this plugin and Rew, the developer. He's a class "A" dude! :)
I am not even a novice yet and feel like I'm drinking from a fire hydrant. Thank you for this plug in.
Take care,
Just downloaded and installed, and it just worked!
Very nice.
did not see a way to make phone not required. will look around...
it works like a charm
The name says it all... Easy Signup. I could not be simpler. It simply works flawlessly.. Oh...and did I mention the quick and expert support.
Awesome plugin
I actually registered on the wordpress site only to vote for this plugin. It's amazingly easy to install and configure, and works great.
Wonderful work!
Just got my first 3 sign-ups on my music website today. Looking at upgrade options now.

In today's From The Mouth Of The Mouse, we finish up our multi-part series we started a few weeks ago where we talk to Stan, who worked all over the Walt Disney World Resort. We think you'll find this final interview to be a lot of fun. Catch up on previous installments with Stan:
Today, we hear about how Stan transferred over to EPCOT to work on Test Track, and many of the Future World East attractions, and then finally onto Animal Kingdom and Coronado Springs!
Let's jump right in!
JEFF: So when we last left you, you were transferring from Disney-MGM Studios over to EPCOT.
STAN: That's right. I transferred to EPCOT in November of 2002. I was, again, looking for a new challenge and wanted to get back into technical attractions. So, I chose to go to the biggest challenge of them all on property…Test Track.
JEFF: I've heard from other Cast Members about what a nightmare it could be. Tell us about the challenges you faced.
STAN: This ride had been notorious for "technical difficulties". Over the years, it had garnered a reputation as the easiest ride to break down. However, it was a huge balancing act. You have one of the most popular rides on property (and the first thrill ride at EPCOT) that is also the biggest breakdown beast around. Sure, that sounds like a fun challenge to me!
When I get to an attraction like this, it helps me (knowing that I will be training it to others, eventually) to learn it from the trainer who knows it best from a technical standpoint. So, they put me with someone who knew it as well as (if not better than) some of the attraction maintenance guys did. This helped tremendously.
I would never have thought about it prior to transferring over there, but working at this attraction is a serious workout. You are constantly moving, but time went by so fast. No matter if you were at the grouper position, keeping the loading area full with 6 per car, or even standing out front at a greeter position, you just never stopped.
One of quite a few things that was interesting about my time there was the superstition involved. We had several of us that were considered bad luck for the ride. There was this thing called the "Tower Triangle". If any 3 of us were in positions including the tower and any 2 of the next closest positions, you could guarantee that the ride would mysteriously have an issue in the next half hour or so. It sounds crazy, but was true in the majority of cases.
JEFF: So it was a superstitious bunch over there! Did you have any other interesting experiences while at EPCOT?
STAN: I probably had the coolest experience as a trainer, while I was at Test Track. As a team building exercise, we were taken on a surprise excursion. We were all taken over to The Living Seas, and taken on the Seas Aqua Tour. This is a phenomenal experience that I highly recommend. After some detailed behind the scenes touring, you are given a wetsuit SCUBA tank and vest that allows you to stay at snorkel depth, given some brief training and get a half hour to explore a large section of the aquarium. This was an unforgettable experience, and showed just one way the company could make magic for its cast members, in addition to the guests.
However, the best thing to happen in my entire time working for Disney happened at Test Track! This was where I met my beautiful wife, Stacy. She was down on the College Program working at the attraction, and nearly finished with her program by the time I transferred over. But, we found that we had so much in common that we hit it off very quickly and were inseparable while she was there.
We had a long distance relationship for a few years until she moved down to Florida and started working for Disney again. I saved the best magical moment I had in me, just for her. I arranged with one of our managers for a VIP Illuminations viewing location in Italy. After dinner and a full day in the parks, we headed over to get our spot, but it started pouring rain. Since we've seen the show so many times, she was ready to call it a night and leave, to which I responded by getting ponchos. Luckily, the rain stopped before the show. During the crescendo of the music, prior to the end of first act of the show, I asked her to marry me (to the gasps of quite a few people around us). After some speechless time, she said, yes. And we watched the full finale as if it was our celebration. Needless to say, that music holds a very special place in our hearts.
Stacy is as big of a Disney fan as I am, so we still make time to get down to the parks (both coasts) and take cruises as much as possible (though it is never as much as we would like). Stacy eventually trained at Mission: Space and then became a GM Product Specialist in the showroom at Test Track.
JEFF: It sounds like quite the Disney romance. That's very sweet! Did you ever work over on Mission: Space as well?
STAN: After some time at Test Track, I waited through the opening of Mission: Space and was in the first wave of new trainees after the attraction opening. This allowed me to have yet another technical attraction under my belt, and some variety to my weeks. But, WOW, was this attraction a doozy to work.
Inevitably, no matter how many warning signs existed, we ALWAYS had people vomiting on the ride. It always happened at the most inopportune times (long lines, technical difficulties in another ride bay). Any time this happened in any major way, the shutdown of one of the 4 ride bays happened for no less than a half hour, since the capsules had to be partially disassembled to be thoroughly cleaned out.
This was problematic because (since the time frame I was there was before the "less intense / more intense" splitting up of the attraction) any time you lost a ride bay, your wait time went up by as much as half of what it already was. Funny enough, it seemed as though when someone lost it in one bay, it would happen in another shortly after.
JEFF: A dirty job, but someone has to do it, eh? Were you able to keep the guests occupied during those long wait times?
STAN: Working at Space was rewarding in its own way. We had so many opportunities to give kids extra attention. Since we were dressed futuristically, we could make them feel as though they really were getting trained for spaceflight. So, we would always have kids that were stopping and saluting us, and took that extra time with them to talk them through what they were going to do inside.
We also got to meet Gary Sinise! He came backstage and met with all of us, posed for pictures and signed autographs. It was surreal, because here is this guy that talks to you on a video screen day-in and day-out, every day, and here he is, in real life. Of all the many celebrities I met during my time at Disney, he was the most grounded. He is a real Disney fan and was very interested in meeting with us.
JEFF: Let's move on at bit, and talk about how you expanded your role at EPCOT.
STAN: Well, it was during this time that I also became an attraction coordinator. So, I got the opportunity to train on the remaining attractions in Future World East. I quickly trained in succession on Spaceship Earth, Ellen's Energy Adventure, Body Wars, Cranium Command and The Making of Me. This was exciting, since I never knew where I would end up on any given day. We also got to ride around on Segways, which I probably never would have done otherwise.
I had my eye on another attraction that was under construction. It was my goal to get on the opening team from the time I heard the announcement. So, when the time came for interviews to open for Expedition Everest, I jumped on it.
JEFF: Another coaster! Did your fear of heights affect you on this one as well?
STAN: Funny enough, one of the questions during the interview process was "How well do you handle heights?" I was honest that I had a great fear, and told the story of overcoming that at Space Mountain. I also mentioned that since I was so excited to get to the attraction, I would find a way to get over the fear. They believed me and I was chosen to open the attraction as a trainer.
On our first day, we walked the track. I think this may have been to weed out those who couldn't handle it. About halfway up the main lift hill, I froze. I was sure I was going to be sent back to EPCOT at this point. But, I stood there for a few minutes, and was able to slowly continue up the stairs. The scary part about that hill is just how open it is. You are literally out there on stairs with a handrail on one side and a chain lift on the other…That is it. As scary as it is on the ride, it is far worse to walk it.
I eventually got somewhat more comfortable with it. Although, admittedly, I was never so comfortable that I could just walk the track with no fears. One very cold morning, I was walking down the lift stairs and hit a small patch of ice near the top. I slipped and thought I was going to tumble all the way down. I was able to catch myself, but I had to sit on the stairs for a few long minutes while I contemplated the sanctity of life. I still toughed it out and was able to continue and stayed for my 6 month commitment
As much as I was scared of working it, we had a lot of fun there. Especially during the test and adjust phase. We had a period where we had to keep the ride running for a few days straight as a stress test. So we were there all day and all night cycling trains. We would occasionally just hop on and ride. That is a crazy experience to ride Everest in the middle of the night, nevermind riding it in the middle of the night with ALL of the lights off. You think Space Mountain is freaky? Try doing that.
JEFF: Based on all your past experiences, I'm sure you had some other interesting ones while working at Expedition Everest. Do tell!
STAN: I was there while they filmed the commercial that ran nationwide before the attraction opened. It was different, because we had to take the film crew on the track while the trains ran (to keep them in safe areas). However, because the commercial was directed by Rob Cohen (a known action director who did The first "Fast and the Furious" film among others) , they were trying to get shots that required some positioning that was dicey at best.
I also spent some time talking to Imagineer Joe Rohde! Since he was around all the time, he was very open to talking to us about various aspects of the attraction, and his experiences. He pointed out all the little details about the village area that came from his time in the region. He would walk the entire attraction with us and tell stories that really enhanced the experience for us, and made us feel as though we were really a part of the story being told. If you ever get the chance to interview him, he is amazing to talk to.
I was also able to walk David Copperfield through the queue and give him a tour of the attraction. He was very interested in the details of the story and how it related to the actual region. Additionally, I had a tour come in to the tower while I was in there. The creators of Avenue Q were there to look at the Yeti animatronic. I didn't know it at the time, but they were there while prepping for the announcement of what would become "Finding Nemo: The Musical."
JEFF: Were you able to work on any other attractions at Animal Kingdom?
STAN: I trained on Kali River Rapids and Flights of Wonder. These would actually be the last attractions I would learn over my time with the company. I was looking for a new challenge out of attractions, since I had now worked in all 4 parks. So, I applied for a position at Coronado Springs Resort as a Concierge.
JEFF: From attractions to the resorts. That must have been quite the change!
STAN: This was a very different aspect of the company. In this position, you deal with people outside the parks, so you get both sides of the coin. You get those who are excited and also have to deal with those who have encountered problems throughout their day. So, it could be challenging at times, but it allowed for greater flexibility in problem solving. We could go to some pretty great lengths to preserve the magic. I was always impressed with the ability to magically be in the room when guests returned. We would do this, and have characters sign cards to leave for the guests.
I wasn't at Coronado for long, though. Life intervened (and we were getting tired of the environment of Central Florida outside of Disney World) and my wife and I decided to move to Illinois. This would put us closer to her family, and ultimately set us up to really get our lives together started.
As I said, I still make as much time as I can to get to the parks. I look back on my time with the company fondly. It was one of the best times of my life. Many people have asked me if having seen it from the inside negatively affects my view of the company. The answer to that is a definite no. I have to say that I think I enjoy it more to have been a part of it. When you put it in perspective, not many people around the world can say that they have had a hand in something so well known. I am proud to be able to say that I did.
A big, thank you to Stan for sharing with us all of his wonderful stories the past four columns! They were fantastic!

After months of anticipation, Modern Family's Mitchell and Cameron finally locked lips last night on ABC's hit show. But if you blinked, chances are you missed it.
In the episode, appropriately titled "The Kiss," Claire and Phil Dunphy share a quick kiss, which makes Cam want to pucker up for one from Mitchell.
Cam goes in for one but ends up falling over the couch and knocking things over. Mitchell has a little PDA problem, because his father didn't show him any affection as a kid.
The gorgeous Gloria (Sofia Vergara) holds a mini intervention and Cam and Mitchell finally get their on screen kiss. But the kiss was so small in a don't-blink-or-you'll-miss-it kind of way that it was kind of a disappointment.
Did you watch the episode? Check it out below and tell us what you think...

Seau says goodbye with aplomb, pride
-- Sam Huff, Hall of Fame linebacker and Washington Redskins broadcaster
"Junior was the most competitive guy I've ever been around. He was the greatest linebacker of all time because no one's really been that consistent for that long. And the way he threw his body around on the field, I'm surprised he lasted that long. He was such a great competitor and gave 100 percent on every play. He loved the game so much that even practice was fun for him. And he was a great leader. He was always positive and optimistic and brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the locker room. He'd get here early in the morning before the rest of us for his workout and film study. He was professional in everything he did. That's why he was so great on the field -- because of all the work he did off it. I've been a fan of his since I was little and he signed a poster for me in college. But I never thought I'd get a chance to play with him. I was thrilled when he joined the Dolphins. I felt honored and privileged to line up alongside the greatest linebacker of all-time."
-- Zach Thomas, Dolphins linebacker
"Junior represents everything that is great about the game of football. I was a big fan of his when he was with the Chargers and I'm an even bigger fan now that I've played alongside of him. His hard work, positive attitude and overall approach to the game were an inspiration to us all and I have the utmost respect and admiration for him. Away from the field, Junior was even more impressive. His work in the community continues to change the lives of young people and I believe ultimately, more than anything, that will be his legacy. Junior Seau defines the word leader and his pregame speeches were the thing of legend. I look forward to hearing the one he gives when he's inducted into the Hall of Fame."
-- Jason Taylor, Dolphins defensive end
"It was an honor and a privilege just to get a chance to play with him, a player of his magnitude. After 16 years he was still a stud. He'd come out here and work his butt off every day in practice. I'm at 12 (NFL seasons) right now and I'm still going strong and feel great, but he brought a whole new meaning to the words longevity, toughness and standard for his own play. He's retiring, but he's still great. Playing 16 years is commendable in itself, but I think for him to play at that level for 16 years, I think that's the difference you're going to see between him and a lot of other players. A lot of guys can play a long time, but to go out there and give a Pro Bowl performance every year you play stands alone. He's obviously a shoo-in for the Hall of Fame, and he should be. He's deserving of everything he gets right now."
-- Kevin Carter, Dolphins defensive end
"I faced a lot of outstanding defensive players over the course of my career and Junior Seau was certainly among the best. Whenever we played the San Diego Chargers, we made sure we knew where No. 55 was each time we broke the huddle. He represented his team, his community and the NFL with class throughout his career and while I had already retired by the time he became a Miami Dolphin, I look forward to him joining our team in Canton."
-- Dan Marino, Hall of Fame quarterback

Originally written on Fox Sports Southwest | Last updated 3/8/12
There are few positions in the American League West with as much upside as second base. The Texas Rangers and Los Angeles Angels have established stars at second in Ian Kinsler and Howie Kendrick. The duo has combined for three trips to the All-Star Game. Seattle and Oakland don't boast All-Stars at second, but both teams have former first-round picks that are coming off solid rookie seasons. Here's a breakdown of second base in the West with the rankings. 1. Texas Imagine what kind of season Texas second baseman Ian Kinsler can have if he feels good for an entire year. He was a 30-30 performer last season despite still be bothered by an ankle he sprained in spring training of 2011. Kinsler had a procedure on the ankle in the offseason and has more mobility now. Kinsler is a rare blend of leadoff hitter, providing speed and power. He has the club record for leadoff home runs and added to that total with seven last season. Kinsler did not hit for average in 2011 (.255) but was ...

Overall Experience
Relaxing fun stay!
06 July 2015
We really enjoyed our stay here! It was a week night so we were able to have a complimentary dinner. There were 5 of us, so that saved us some money of not having to go out for dinner. And the breakfast was great too! We had lots of laundry to do and were happily surprised to find out the washers and dryers were free. And the Staybridge Suite's van was waiting to take us to the airport the next morning. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The 2 bedroom suite was very clean and we had plenty of room.
Comfortable night sleep & great breakfast
05 July 2015
We went to Portland to see the Grand-kids and booked the room online not knowing what to expect but was real pleased. The Rooms were very clean & inviting. The employees were very helpful and pleasant. The breakfast was as good as a restaurant. I would recommend this hotel to anyone if they want a great place to stay.
Best staff ever!
02 July 2015
We landed LATE in Portland and the crew at Staybridge treated us like royalty, even in the middle of the night. I can't say one negative thing about the stay or the staff. I'd happily stay there again if I get the chance.
Great bed, clean room, 2 problems...1 solved
ByStanford Grads
02 July 2015
With the exception of the late night desk not knowing where I should go for medical treatment, all worked out fine. The staff in general was very pleasant and willing to help.
When breakfast staff told us with 30 minutes to go during breakfast there were no more eggs or bacon to be had the manager stepped in and problem solved.
We would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.
