A: I would never usually review a fast food restaurant unless I've had a pretty unique, review-worthy experience. And I do have one. Wendy's was our last resort before driving back to LA. In-n-Out's line was way too long. But boy our problems did not end there. This was so long ago that I can't remember all our troubles with this establishment, but I do remember one. My friend ordered a Wendy's chicken sandwich and he got it, WITHOUT THE CHICKEN. If you know, a chicken sandwich is just bread, lettuce, and chicken. Yup. He was missing the whole chicken patty. I've never laughed so hard in my life.

A: So we found another Kimpton Resort that we will be visiting AGAIN. In the heart of Scottsdale is this oasis with the staff that Kimpton is renowned for and a property that is a joy to walk around and view. I felt as if we were in a beach resort on Hawaii. Beautiful OPEN lobby with so much to look at. An actual beach (with sand people) pool area. They even have pails, shovels and such for the kids to play with the sand. There is a deeper pool area for those of us who are not traveling with kids to play in. The room we were in was a King with a view of the pool. The rooms are generous in size and as always Kimpton's eye for details like closet doors that open all the way so they are not blocking your movement were present. We had our own private patio area to relax in as well. Ours had foilage surrounding it and was very private but I did see others that did not have that privacy. Extra points that they are VERY pet friendly and will go out of their way to make your pets stay a happy one. The negatives for us were that under all that beauty was an old resort and as such things did not work well. The air conditioning was LOUD and our toilet would take multiple flushes to make even a little paper disappear. I would definitely recommend this resort to friends and family and we will be coming to for a longer stay next time. LOVE LOVE LOVE the staff Oh yeah forgot to tell you, make sure you have mosquito repellant. They took us by surprise and we were biten to death while sleeping. : )

A: Love it! Was looking for an old school barbershop to take my toddler to. They were great with him and gave him the tightest fade and a great rockabilly haircut. The decor is between old school barbershop and a tattoo shop which is cool and they also do hot towel treaents which is awesome. And the haircuts are only $15!! I've gone to hair salons trying to getting son an old school rockabilly cut and paid $50 and didn't get the results that I got here. I'd highly recommend this barbershop.

A:
As I waited curbside for the airport shuttle, little did I know what I was about to walk into. As I piled into the back of the shuttle, and watched it fill up, I thought to myself, "This must be a popular place." Boy was I wrong. As we all lined up for check in (half of us out the door), the front desk announced that they only had one computer working and it would take some time. I was number 7 in line. As I made it up to the marble counter and said hello to the person checking me in and the 4 others who were behind the desk, I noticed that "old" smell..... You know that smell that makes you think mildew? Mold? Nope, it was the natural perfume of the entire building (at least the parts that I was in). I was given my room, and I walked in and noticed a GIANT stain on my recently redone carpet, the light fixture was leaning to one side and falling off the wall, and my AWESOME view was a giant satellite dish and what looked like some rusted out shacks in the parking lot. So I grabbed the remote and was greeted by a bunch of back buttons (the numbers had been worn off). The only one I could read was MENU and it did not work. After figuring out which buttons did what (Thank God I did not end up accidentally buying hotel porn!) I started trying to change the channel. I could change by using the button to look at the next channel up or down the list, but if I hit a number, it would simply sit on the screen. If I wanted channel 24, it would first show channel 2, and after hitting 4 like 5 times, the 2 would be replaced with a 4 and it would sit there until I turned the TV off and turned it back on. This hotel was a lot like the Monday Night Pre-Season Game I was watching... Not inspiring confidence. After calling down to the front desk and asking for a 7:30 shuttle and a 7 am wake up call, I eat my delivered dinner (I dare not try the hotel's food) and set the Hilton Clock in my room for a 6:45 alarm. The next morning I woke up on my own at about 6:50 to my alarm clock blinking because the alarm was going off, but the alarm itself was broken. As I walked towards the bathroom, I noticed 2 pieces of paper under my door. It was my bill, but you would not know it. Usually Hilton family hotels print everything (including your bill) on company letter head so you know where it came from. These bills were simply printed on white copy paper. If this was not a metaphor for my whole experience, I do not know what would be. This place does not live up to the Double Tree standard. Not Going Back.
