can someone hep me please. i booked a room for me and my husband at best western?

Q. in Orlando Florida on Disney property. it is not in the park. that is not a problem but it is a 4 star hotel at downtown Disney and does not have the big screen television or small fridge in room. also it has only double beds. i don't mind the t.v. but the room fridge is only available at 10 dollars more per night.
i like the idea of being where the trolleys run and the area. just concerned if i picked a bad hotel. please help if you have been there.

A. The info you provided, about your location, is a bit contradictory b/c the mention of the trolley. You see, when people speak of the trolley, they're referring to the I-Drive Trolley, which basically runs along I-Drive (International Drive), and does not go to Lake Buena Vista (LBV) where your hotel is at. If in fact you're staying @ the Best Western LBV, on Hotel Plaza Blvd, then you're considered as being in the Downtown Disney resort area. Some facts...Your hotel IS on Disney property. It, along with some other select hotels, leases the land from WDW. To give you more assurance, they must all conform to Disney standards, per their lease agreement. Technically, there is no such thing as a Disney resort "in the park", there's simple resorts "in WDW", or "on Disney property". The only possible exception to this rule is the Animal Kingdom Lodge, which b/c of the proximity to the Animal Kingdom, some would define as "in the park".

You have NOT picked a bad hotel. It's location is convenient (walking distance to DT Disney and to the shops/restaurants/etc. on 535 in LBV). Pool is good, views from aloft are good, rms are clean, service is fine. Transportation to WDW is included (you'll probably be using a "DT Disney Hotels" bus, provided by Disney itself).

Any good nightclubs or lounges in Philadelphia / Philly?
Q. Visiting Philly for the first time. Please recommend any good clubs or lounges. I would like something 21 n over, more on the grown and sexy side. Nothing too bougie but nothing dirty. Something more urban if anything playing hiphop, reggae and rnb. Thanks!

A. There is the XYZ Bar at the Aloft Hotel out by the airport, sleek sexy indoor outdoor modern feel to it.

Tritone on south street, really hip and old school blues and Jazz bar.

Anyhting on Deleware ave is going to be cool, but that will also be crowded crowded crowded.

Several of the Hotels in and around Market Street have some really posh lounges and clubs.

Old City has a lot of great bars and clubs.

Stay out of North Philly....everything there is really raunchy.

I am visiting Dallas for the first time. Can anyone suggest a good neighboorhood and a moderate price hotel?
Q. I will be also visiting Glen Rose but want to stay in Dallas and exlore it as wewll.

A. Since when did Dallas become the capital of crime? Geez.... there are so many parts of Dallas, it seems a little ignorant to group it all together. Its like saying that all cheeses are the same.

Here are some locations and possible hotels:

The Fairmont Dallas (Downtown Dallas)
Southfork Hotel (Plano)
The Westin Hotel Galleria (North Dallas)
Hyatt Place Dallas North (North Dallas)
aloft Frisco (Frisco- brand new)
The Westin Stonebriar Resort (Frisco- pricey though)

I live in a nicer area of Dallas and would be happy staying at any of these. Basically, to play it safe... stick with Highland Park/University Park area, SMU, North Dallas (635 between Dallas Parkway and 75.. this is by the Galleria Dallas), hotels located immediately around DFW airport, Plano (along the Dallas Parkway), Frisco (anywhere), Carrollton, Lewisville, Richardson

Stay away from: Harry Hines, South Dallas (Dallas Zoo area), Lower Greenville (its crazy on weekends), Deep Ellum (only because of recent unsolved shooting). Hope this helps!!
