I spent a couple of nights in DC during recent times at Marriott Hotels. While these places hardly warrant a full review, they are still worth a mention and are certainly cheap and decent choices for a stay in the nation’s capital. The first of the hotels is the AC …
Two weeks ago, I embarked on an unexpected trip to the North Shore of Lake Superior and Duluth, Minnesota to chase the aurora borealis. It might seem like an odd destination to most, since Minnesota isn’t exactly known for northern lights sightings. I was in that same boat until I …
The Centurion Lounge in Atlanta, situated in Concourse E next to gate E11, undoubtedly makes a striking first impression. Its centerpiece tree is a design marvel, and the outdoor space offers a welcome breath of fresh air. The reserve bar, unique to this location, adds a touch of exclusivity with …
