Choose This Comfort Suites When in Astoria, OR

My dear polite travelers,

After days of driving through Northern California, Oregon, and Washington, we’re now on our way home. Lucky for us, we have arrived in Astoria, Oregon baby!! Woo-hoo! To label the views of the city as beautiful, or exceptional, would be modest. The Columbia River is precious. And our choice of hotel, for this visit, is perfect: Comfort Suites Columbia River.

Room #321

Our room overlooks the majestic and wild Columbia River. Songs of sea lions made it even wilder, especially at night. Yep, they sang all night. This wasn’t an issue for my hubby or me, but it might be for you.

Other than the pinniped serenade, the room was clean and had two queen beds—even though we booked a king—a desk, extra counter space, storage, plenty of outlets, and adequate seating. A refrigerator and microwave rounded it all up. It was a comfortable room after a long drive.

The Hotel

Because we arrived so late, we just wanted to check in, find a decent restaurant, and then veg in our comfy room with a view. Finding a restaurant within walking distance was preferable. The lovely woman at the front desk gave us excellent advice and we were on our way to a satisfying meal. Other than that, the hotel has a gym, an accessible indoor pool, and a spa and is only one mile from downtown Astoria.

Note

This hotel, and most other Choice properties we stayed in, is pet friendly and accessible.

The Free Breakfast

This was one of our better breakfasts. The choices of yogurt were excellent with adequate-sized Chobani, good bread selection, typical pastries, waffles, eggs, and chunks of lean ham.

Will I Return?

Absolutely. With this crazy one-night-only road trip, I look forward to returning to explore Astoria. It’s lovely here and the hotel is excellent.

Until next time, my polite travelers: Happy Travels!

Look Closer at the Hilton Garden Inn, Waikiki

Why We Might Not Return: Hilton Garden Inn, Waikiki My dear polite travelers, Imagine waiting three years to revisit a pleasant memory. You’d probably be thrilled to be on that journey. Right? Well, I am, and ...well, I’m lukewarm to some aspects of it, especially our room: #1537. But the Ocean is Right There! In our room, #1537, we have the ocean view and the fresh breezes associated with it. Still, due to the central, otherwise excellent location, it’s noisy—very noisy. Thus, those breezes remain outside all night. Darn. The pleasant sweet-ocean-air-in-our-room-memory I dream of often eluded us on this trip. Now, it’s just sad. The Good & the Weird Beyond the noise, it is a comfortable room—especially the shower—but there’s not enough counter space. Instead of a long counter or desk, the hotel designer thought a long built-in seat would be a clever idea?? Hint. It’s not. We can only use it to store our suitcases and bulky items. The only place to us

Kauai Vacation: Room Review

The Room Over The Power Plant Revised 4/2021 The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas offers guests beautiful rooms, which include kitchens or kitchenettes, outdoor grills, and a number of pools. Most often, it includes an excellent restaurant, poolside bar, and small store. A large grocery store is within walking distance as well. Thus, the theory is that guests will not have to leave the property once they cross the big pond to reach it. Great theory, but that’s not necessarily true when the only on-site restaurant is closed. Add to that the incredibly loud room...well, let’s just say I needed a break from the property at times. Note : Follow Hawaii and CDC guidelines when visiting. Always wear your face mask when in public. May we just see the room we should have had? After an exceptionally long journey that included a broken plane and a rushed connection—not to mention airport security—we were surprised to find that our hotel had our room ready an hour early.

Sonoma, California: DoubleTree Sonoma

Updated 4/2021 Our Stay in the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel Sonoma Wine Country in California As over-worked small business owners, we decided to play hooky traveling through Sonoma County for a couple of days. Since we recently experience excellent service on our last stay in a DoubleTree, we booked a room at their Sonoma Wine Country property in Rohnert Park. Our Journey Through Sonoma County Our drive from our home in Davis pleasant with light traffic. We chose a slightly longer route through Sonoma so we could take in the beauty of the Glen Ellen area vineyards. The vineyards here are quite beautiful with green rolling hills as a backdrop. Arriving at the DoubleTree As we arrived, I mentioned to my husband that since this trip would focus on cheese tasting, it would be perfect if we were given a free upgrade to a room with a refrigerator. The hotel appeared fully booked, so I assumed that was impossible. Astonishingly, when we asked about an upgrade, the polite rec
