Omni Hotel at Park West, Dallas

Advantages: Very exciting, rich and entertaining city
Disadvantages: Can get expensive

...If you’ve ever read my personal profile, you will be aware that I spent a year in Dallas. This was my work placement year of my degree course and involved me being trained as a manager in a downtown hotel. I returned about a year ago, and have yet to settle back into British life. Things are very dull, and generally unfriendly over here compared to my experiences in Dallas, and therefore I will return permanently as soon as possible.

It is a smaller airport, and is a bit more personable: You're about eight to ten times more likely to get customer assistance here.

...WHY DID WE BOOK THE AMBER HOTEL CHEMNITZ? Requiring a convenient hotel to stay in overnight on our return from Poland in May, we discovered the Amber Hotel whilst searching for hotels adjacent to E40 (the main East / West continental route) in the Chemnitz area. Last year we stayed in a hotel called the Drei Shwanen, previously reviewed - about five miles to the south west of here. The Amber looked perfectly situated (and easy to find) very close to a motorway junction. The fact that it was a four star hotel offering a double room on the Saturday night for a mere 68 Euros made it all the more attractive! HOTEL DESCRIPTION / OUR PERCEPTION FROM HOTEL PUBLICITY From the hotel website this looked like a "Eurostandard" (read bland!), modern, business hotel. A four star hotel with 103 rooms, I have to admit that it was the very... Read review
