Ascot Motel, Atlantic City

Advantages: Beautiful, relaxing get away
Disadvantages: Can be expensive in the summer months.

...Look out Las Vegas! Atlantic City is in the process of a $1.2 billion face lift. This will include two new casino's, a new tunnel linking one side of the city to the other (less traffic congestion), new attractions, fixing up the Historic Atlantic City Lighthouse, knocking down and rebuilding older houses. They've already added an ice skating rink (affiliated with the Philadelphia Flyers), some new attractions, added on to current casino's, and they have two minor league teams (baseball and basketball). They also added a beautiful new art museum on the boardwalk over looking the ocean. Other than the casino's and the boardwalk there's the beautiful white sandy beaches. Unlike many other beaches in the area, it doesn't cost anything to access the beaches in the summer.... Read review

...worlds, train one way and bus the other. . The bus drops you off near Empire State Building and the train goes and leaves from Pennsylvania Station. - Wait for my next review for New York!

We had it to ourselves so left the doors open. Practically the whole of the front was sliding glass doors overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The rooms were spotless way... Read review

Advantages: Easy access, calm city
Disadvantages: none

...Tilburg received its city rights by Napoleon’s brother, when it was a mere street or two, unpaved, a few farms… Now, Tilburg is a blooming city with a few shopping centres, a variety of hotels and motels, and a city centre where the highstreets provides you with a diversity of shops. Public transport is extremely well organised, and a lot of the buildings, -including the modest palace built and designed by King William of Orange the second- have remained intact and are combined with more modern housing and stores. It doesn’t take too long to get to the countryside, to visit the Trappisten monastery, which provides guided tours, or just to ride a bicycle around the countryside. Good for a week or weekend away, Tilburg is a calm place compared to Amsterdam and other cities of that size.... Read review
