JetComfy – Is the Travel Pillow Challenge Over?

Last Modified: August 10, 2023 //  by Anda //  27 Comments

Last Modified: January 5, 2022 //  by Anda //  15 Comments

I was kind of worn out as we pulled in front of the four-story building of La Bellasera Hotel that afternoon. Traffic had been a nightmare on Highway 101, coming from Los Angeles. I could hardly wait to kick off my shoes and hop on a clean bed. The lustrous marble floors of the lobby gleamed like polished bronze …

Last Modified: August 23, 2023 //  by Anda //  9 Comments

Judging by the price, this could not have been but a nice, clean place like most other ones in the area. But I was in for a big surprise. Located in the picturesque Farmington River Valley, this 160-room …

Class and Elegance at Lindner Beau Rivage Hotel in Interlaken

Last Modified: August 23, 2023 //  by Anda //  19 Comments

The charming resort of Interlaken won me over from the start. It lies in what is perhaps the most sublime alpine scenery in the world. But little did I expect that I’d remember Interlaken for one the best hotel experiences I ever had. My husband and I were privileged to be the guests of Lindner Grand Beau Rivage Hotel for two nights this spring.
