What's the cheapest way from Amsterdam airport to your hotel?

Q. After flying in to Schipol, what is the best way to get to our hotel? We are staying far west, at the HEM Hotel Amsterdam, Voorburgstrat 220. Is there a tram that runs? Or a shuttle? We planned on taking a taxi but I have heard they can be dangerous and expensive. A. There are trams and buses. You might have to transfer and walk a couple of blocks. Check with the hotel for the most efficient combination for the time of day you are arriving. You might want to use public transit to get around during your stay, so it won't hurt to get to know how to use it right from the start. I would take transit even if it meant I had to walk a few blocks. But my luggage has wheels, and I am always traveling on a tight budget. What are you favorite hotels and restaurants in central Amsterdam? And why? Q. My husband and I are looking for a pleasant hotel in central Amsterdam - we'll be travelling there at the end of April, and it's our first trip to Amsterdam. Our budget isn't

Is the "Fallside Hotel" a good hotel to stay in Niagara Falls?

Q. I am planning a trip to the Niagara Falls next month. While searching for hotels near by the falls I found the "Fallside Hotel and Conference center" which seems to be a good option. What do you think about it? Have you stayed there before? Which other hotel would you recommend? I am looking for something nice but not very expensive. Thank you very much in advance! A. I'm not sure about this hotel, but you will find some good selections and deals overe here : http://www.cheaperthanhotels.com/Canada/Niagara-Falls/ You can filter your results after you have entered your dates, including price - but i would look at other features like location , star rating and location on the maps provided.

Are trained, certified lifeguards required by law for hotel pools in Ohio?

Q. I'm curious because of an incident that happened recently in Cleveland, Ohio. A 10 yr old boy drowned in a hotel swimming pool. It was during a birthday party. There were about 40 kids in the pool, 3-4 adult chaperone's, and apparently no lifeguard on duty. A. Pools open to the public carry a license from the county health department that, among other things, governs whether or not they are required to have a lifeguard on duty. Most hotels are allowed to just put up a sign stating that no lifeguard is present / swim at your own risk. If that sign was not in place I would contact the county health department to see if in fact there should be a lifeguard on duty. spending quality time with a 15 year old daughter? Q. I am planning on taking my daughter out of town next weekend, I need some suggestions for a quaint town within a couple hours from Cleveland, Ohio area. Hotel, Shopping, Food. We are only going for 2 days. Any Suggestions? A. Here are 100 links to places fe

How big is Jamaica?

Q. I'm planning a trip and wanted to know if I'd be able to go around the whole island and visit the major destinations spots in about 10 days. If you've been there, where and what would you suggest to go and do? Right now I'm thinking of staying in the Negril region. A. Jamaica is 10,991km or 4244 ml and is 150 miles in length east to west and is 50 mls at its widest north to south,and that land mass that i gave you earlier dose not include its miniature islands that surround it.total coast line approx; 1,010 km. the roads are in a very good condition when your on the main and secondary systems,so going around the island in ten days won't be a problem,the problem is, are the 10 days enough to explore the island. The entertainment is good for the night, depending on were you'll be on a given night on the north coast. There are a lot of sides to Jamaica, the most popular section is the north coast,especially in Negril were there is a seven mile strip of beach ,

What are the typical accommodations one can find in cheap hotels in atlantic city?

Q. By cheap hotels in atlantic city i mean places that are up to $20/ night. Thanks. A. Alantic city is a crack head infested money trap. Keep your expectations low and your credit cards hidden and you will have a good time. The further you get from the board walk the more ghetto it gets. Motels there will be 25 to 30 a night.

Hotels accessible to New York City nightlife?

Q. I'm going into the city in October for a saturday night with a few girlfriends, and I wanted to book a hotel for the night. We were planning on hitting a few bars and clubs, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of hotels i might want to look into, and maybe even some places to check out. I'm not too familiar with the city. Also, there's a budget on the hotel, so if you have any suggestions, may it be one for under $225 a night. Thanks! A. I just got back from New York City last weekend. I stayed at The Pod hotel. It is under $225 a night. It is located right next to the 51st & Lexington ave subway. The rooms are modern and very clean. I stayed in the bunk room with my friend. It was $157/night with tax (I went through Hotels.com). We each had a 10in flat screen tv on each bed and their was an iPod docking station in the room. The bar next door was an awesome New York neighborhood bar. Times Square and Greenwich Village were only a couple stops away. Ho

What are some cheap hotels in Chicago?

Q. I am planning on taking a trip to chicago in a few weeks to visit a friend of mine. i was wondering what are some cheap hotels in Chicago im thinking between 50-80 dollars a night. I am planning on staying for at least 2 days. thank you :) A. At that price you will find nothing other than dumps in unsafe neighborhoods inside the city. Depending upon where your friend lives, look for a nearby suburb and look for some of the low priced chains on the Internet (Motel 6, Days Inn, Red Roof, etc.) that might have a property in the area. Also, you can find out whether there may be a modest "ma and pa" motel nearby. Ask your friend for ideas. What are some nice, clean, and cheap hotels in Chicago? Q.

Cheapest ways to travel to Britain and Ireland?

Q. I want to go on a vacation possibly next summer of 2011 if not then, the next summer to the UK and Ireland for about 2 - 3 weeks. What are the cheapest ways to fly from Toronto (Pearson Airport) to London (Heathrow)? Cheapest hotels? And any more details you can supply me with! I'd really appreciate the most detailed answer possible! Thank you! A. I'd stick to Air Canada if I were you. You might save a bit of money on the budget airlines like Air Transat but their punctuality etc is appalling. If you're intending to do a lot of travel around England, Wales and Scotland I'd sugest a Britrail Pass which you must purchase before arrival in the U.K. These are really good value passes and you'll see a lot as you travel. Our rail network is dense and frequent - very different to Via Rail www.britrail.com www.nationalrail.co.uk for timetable information Can I check into a London hotel at 19 years old, traveling with a 17 year old friend? Q. I'm planning on trav

Can you please fix an inappropriate hotel listing in your search engine?

Q. There is another hotel in my area, sharing the same brand, and with a similar, yet "Specifically" different name. This other property is using our Choice Hotels⢠"Official" name in its listing. It specifies a town, within their hotel title, that they are not in. This property is listed as Comfort Suites-Eugene, but is actually located in Springfield. When guests search for the correct Comfort Suites Eugene through your search engine, they are confused. The "True" Comfort Suites ~ Eugene, is the last listing on page three of the search: "Hotels in Eugene Oregon" (#64). Can you please correct the inappropriate title listing? Thank you. A. Are you serious? Who are you talking to? We are not a search engine. What is it called when companies own numerous stores? Q. For example Gap owns Old Navy and Banana Republic; Sears owns K-mart. There are also other types of companies that do this like Choice Hotels. Or can you name any others? A. P

Where can I find a Ritz Carlton Hotel Hoodie?

Q. Does anyone know where I can buy a Ritz Carlton Hotel Hoodie????? Please Help, It does not matter what location Thanks. A. Most major hotels have gift shops and they usually carry these items. Not always in all sizes. I suggest you call the hotel nearest you and ask the hotel operator to put you through to the gift shop. They will usually arrange for items to be purchased over the phone with a credit card, and shipped out. Here's the list of hotels since I'm not sure where you live ... http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Locations/Default.htm Good luck!! The Carlton Hotel New Years Eve NYC Party? Q.

What are some good hotels for me to stay at in San Francisco?

Q. I'm a native Californian from the Los Angeles area and my family and I are traveling to San Francisco for the Labor Day weekend. We're only going to be there for Saturday and Sunday, and we travel back on Monday. What are some good hotels in San Francisco that someone could recommend to me? I'm looking for something not too pricey and nice. Also close to the city, maybe in the downtown. And what do you recommend I do while I'm there? Thanks. A. Union Square is probably the best place to stay. There are lots of good restaurants, shops, theaters and clubs in the Union Square area. It is centrally located easy to walk to many places, easier to get cabs, with lots of public transportation options. Driving in the city can be confusing for visitors and parking is difficult and expensive. Muni offers multi day passes that are good for buses, trolley, light rail and the cable cars [unique experience but $5 per ride]. http://www.sfmuni.com Joie de Vivre http://www.jdvhotels

Where in New Orleans should I get a hotel?

Q. My husband and I are taking our 3 young daughters to the zoo and aquarium in New Orleans this week-end. I live in Louisiana and have never been to New Orleans. I am not sure which parts of town are the "safest". Any ideas on websites to find discount hotel prices? Any information on New Orleans would be appreciated. A. Stay in the Quarter. Since the hurricane, I have stayed in the Hotel Monteleone twice (smallish rooms except the suites), the Ritz Carlton twice (service still struggling to achieve appropriate standards), the W French Quarter twice (fabulous location on Chartres but a real sink would be nice), and the Windsor Court four times (love the full suites, but they need a make over). All have parking, are close the sites of the city, and are safe. Only the Monteleone would be described as historic. The size of the Windsor Court is perfect for kids. Have fun. my mom and i are in desperate need of a nice but decently priced hotel in manhattan? Q. for 2 days

How much spending money will i need for going to dublin?

Q. Im going to dublin with my husband 5th september will be there late sat night till monday morning hotel paid already so will be for breakfast lunch and dinner on sunday and of course drinks will only be pubs though no night clubs staying at temple bar hotel so no need for taxis Thanks in advance A. it depends on what you like doing. Like walking around is free, and stopping off for a couple of drinks and a meal will prob set you back about â¬60 each. But if you want to go to some attractions well then, the bus tour is â¬15, entry to Guinness is â¬15, and most other attractions are around that or cheaper. Alcohol is expensive, but some of the bars do specials on gin & tonic for â¬5, they don't do the 'splash' way of serving soda, so you always have to get a bottle , which adds up the cost, although the measures of spirits are double what you get in UK. A pint is anything from â¬4.80 to â¬6.50. Food in bars is ok, approx â¬12.50 up for a good size main meal. But a lo

What websites are the best for finding hotel discount promo promotional codes to apply?

Q. What websites are the best for finding hotel discount promo promotional codes to apply? Most of them are worthless because they simply link to the hotel website with no promo codes given. A. I have not found any good sites for hotels. I have had great luck with priceline. Good luck! Does Sam's Club have a hotel discount code for super 8 motels? Q. We are members of Sam's Club and remember seeing somewhere a coupon code for Super 8 motels. Does anyone know what that is? Or could anyone provide other hotel discount codes for Sam's Club members? Thanks! A. Look if you want to stay at a Super 8 check online reviews first. While many are absolutely lovely there are also scary icky ones because low prices attract, well, less than reputable people. My advice for travelers based on years of experience in the hotel industry: Most flights are cheapest on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so when you plan try to figure in flying out on those days. Next, look into which seasons ar

Once at the North Elizabeth train station, take any New York City-bound NJ Transit train to New York Penn Station. Once in NYC, transfer to the New York City subway. For Times Square, take the uptown (northbound) #1, 2 or 3 subway lines (Red Line) from Penn Station to Times Square. For the Statue of Liberty, take the downtown (southbound) #1(Red Line) from Times Square to South Ferry. You can also take the

How is the nightlife in windsor Ontario? Q. I am thinking about going to the red bull air race next weekend but the race is not enough reason for me to drive 10 hours...Is windsor a fun city by night? A. Jeff, I work, go to the University, and party in Windsor, and let me tell, the nightlife is amazing. Next weekend is going to be BANANAS because of the Red Bull Air Races, and downtown will be alive 24/7 for the days preceding the event. A normal summer weekend downtown is crazy enough, especially with all the Americans coming over to drink because of the lower drinking age. On top of the ridiculous amount of bars and clubs located in the heart of Windsor, we have a world class casino which features a 5,000 seat theatre, a poker room, multiple restaurants and a huge gaming floor.
