A: I recently purchased a 2014 MKS, a beautiful car, and at a great price! I had a small problem with a rear wheel de~laminating , they fixed it properly and even delivered a loaner for my wait. I am extremely impressed with all levels of this dealership,from my sales consultant John Lozano, service advisor Travis Gudknecht, his two cute assistants, and of course GM Stan Parkhurst. Thanks for everything and I plan on being a loyal customer for many years to come.

A: My first impression upon seeing the property as we drove in? "This is a hotel?" As another reviewer noted, the layout of this hotel is just odd. The exterior made me wonder if it was perhaps a converted office building. I stayed here for three nights for business. Mind you this is the first W I've ever stayed in so I didn't know what to expect. Decor in the lobby and common areas were pretty nice. Suitable I suppose for the desert location. Room decor: totally different story. I hated the muted colors and the retro style furnishings. It just didn't feel welcoming. I was lucky enough to have scored a corner suite overlooking the pool area, so that meant I had my own balcony and a pretty large room with a separate bathroom area. But my coworkers had the "regular" rooms and wow. TINY. My review here may not have been as kind if I'd gotten stuck in one of those. The one thing I hated the most was the placement of the bed. It was awkwardly placed in the middle of the room (as in not against a wall) and worse yet the outside door/entrance was behind the headboard (bad feng shui if you're a believer)! Hated that so much I flipped the sheets and slept sideways on the bed (yes, I'm short enough). PROS: - great staff: professional and very courteous - nice square footage but only if you get a corner suite - fluffy bathrobes!!! YESSSSSSSSS!!! Oh and a bonus: spa-style slippers to wear in your room - Bose 5 channel speaker system - 2 LCD TVs in room CONS: - square footage of the regular rooms - layout of the furniture - room decor and colors All in all, the hotel's saving grace in my perspective was the obvious thought placed in the amenities (when travelling, it's often the little things that count!): Bliss branded bath items, the fluffy bathrobe and slippers, the staff ... hence the four stars. If decor, feng shui, and color schemes don't trouble you, 5 stars.

Q: negative

A: Came her for a family dinner so I didn't have to cook. Boy, what a bad decision that was. Had the chicken Marsala which was served in an iron skillet? Who does that? The Marsala sauce was a coagulated mess of flour and grease, chicken was fatty and awful. My sisters pasta was cold and undercooked. This place might be okay for the bar crowd, but family restaurant this is NOT.

A:
I love Chodang!!! Craving it now just writing this review. I go there regularly, and have also gotten take out a few times as well. I usually go with the dol sot bibimbop, which I love. It's authentic (well, at least to me, but I'm not Korean), and comes in the hot bowl with the raw egg. Yum!!! Also gotten the bibimbop take out and the portions are very generous. I feel like with the take out, I end up with 2 full meals, but eating in, I end up with 1.5 meals. I LOVE their sides as well. So good! And they include several with the takeout as well. This restaurant is always consistent, and the food always comes out very fast. It can get busy, but it's worth it. As for the lack of the personal grills, I actually think that's a bonus here! Yes, it's fun to cook your own food, but then you smell like it and have to wash your hair and clothes. At Chodang, you dont' have to take your coat to the dry cleaners after eating there. It's nice to be a place that's not smoky, and is clean and free of lingering smells.
