King and Prince Resort – St. Simons GA

Show me the SUN! I think I was kept in the Chicago weather for too long! A little sun can go a very long way with me! I am currently staying at The King and Prince resort in St. Simons, GA. I stayed here once before and everything about this cute little island is still the same! Beautiful Ocean views, Family Friendly, Coastal Living. Weather you are looking for a place to stay for a weekend getaway or somewhere to spend those cold winter months away from Old Man Winter this is the place. Located about an hour south of Savannah, GA and about 5 hours from Atlanta, GA. I personally drove from Atlanta and it was a nice drive not a lot of traffic on the road and it can be done in 1 day and get here early enough to have a nice relaxing dinner! Last time I was here I stayed in the historic main building, this time I am in a Villa that  is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath suite with a full kitchen, living room and balcony with a great view of the ocean.

The things I look for in a hotel are the small little touches that can make your stay that much more relaxing. Everything from the small little mints they leave on your pillow to having a washer and dryer and a wine bottle opener in the kitchen. You would not believe the hotels I have stayed in over the years that don’t have those things. Sometime I even throw a wine bottle opener into my suit case since I always end up buying one if the hotel doesn’t supply it. Also each room has decorative pieces there for nothing more that pure enjoyment.

Roberts Riverwalk Hotel – Detroit

Roberts Riverwalk Hotel – Detroit

I recently stayed here for a Lions game and after reading all the reviews on Yelp I really wanted to give this hotel some much needed credit. The hotel is located a little outside of the downtown hussle and bussle but it was a quick shuttle ride to the game! The shuttle is also FREE from the hotel. I will warn you make sure you are downstairs waiting for it and plan to have a few loads before you. We did take a cab back to the hotel and it was less than $10. Room was nice and clean, the staff was pleasant and helpful. Overall I would recommend this hotel to others and it was a great value since all we really wanted was a bed to sleep in. I will say don’t bother with the food-bar area downstairs. They seemed to be over worked and nothing like the service we received at the reception desk.
