Advantages: It's quiet Disadvantages: It's on life support and needs a shot of adrenaline
The Maritim is not one of my favourite hotels. If I hear that I've been booked there, a wave of disappointment rolls over me and that's based on only two stays so far - but I'm sure there will be more. It's not that there's actually anything WRONG with the hotel, it's just that it's got an air of being tired, past it and just not up to scratch for the new millenium. It must have once been really quite grand but today it's about as up to date as Princess Anne at a wedding.
The location is fine - there's the park to one side, the congress centre to the other and it's only a couple of minutes walk to the railway station. A taxi from the airport will cost you around Euro15 if you cant figure out how to take the trams to the station plaza. It's not even a noisy place - although I admit when I saw my room was on the road side the first ...
Advantages: beautiful, lovely weather, port aventura, aquaopolis, day trips to barcelona, cheap, safe area, bonavista market, close to airport Disadvantages: rush for sunbeds in the morning!
part of port aventura, which was enjoyable but involved a great deal of queing and sunburn!
There were plenty more activities offered by both the hotel and the area, such as swimming with sea lions and a variety of sports.
HOTEL:
The Princess Maritimhotel is the best hotel i have ever stayed in, although only 3 stars it feels like at least four.

The swimming pool and hotels facilities were ideal for all the family. The only slight disadvantage is that there was a mad rush for sunbeds by the pool in the morning but being a minutes walk away from the beach this was not too much of a problem. The food was well presented although slightly bland but this is to be expected when ...
Advantages: Superb location, comfortable accomodation, helpful staff Disadvantages: No major disadvantages to the actual hotel itself
In "the city that never sleeps," especially if you're visiting for the first time, it's all about site-seeing, shopping, and taking advantage of New York's endless amount of restuarants. So when choosing a hotel, it's all about location!
I took my first ever visit to New York (and certainly not my last, taking into consideration the amazing time I had there) in February 2007, for a school trip, and stayed in Park CentralHotel.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I was delighted when we first arrived at the Park Centralhotel - the immaculate lobby and reception area, with brown leather sofas and sparkling floor tiles, was classy and modern. We were greeted by friendly staff who gave us our room keys, and we went off up the lifts (we didn't fancy taking the stairs, having being accomodated on numerous floors up the building!) to our room ...
