Sentiment analysis: HRH is growing on me. About six years ago I was disappointed in the food choices, room quality and pricing. Now, the rooms are much more luxurious, including an ipod docking station allowing you to play your tunes throughout the bedroom and bathroom. The studio suite is stylish, modern yet with that warm romantic feel making it a perfect place for a get away with your love (or lover) The food is steadily improving as Culinary Dropout, 35 Steaks and Martinis, FU, Pink Taco and a revamped Mr. Lucky's offer excellent food. The Ainsworth is a hip club (but don't eat there) with reverse karaoke (you pick the song, the regular singer sings it) on Fridays. Rooms at the HRH range between 30-150 per night depending on your method of booking and the conventions in town but you can usually find a suite for 50-70 on hotwire or travelocity. The staff is always friendly and offer upgrades at checkin depending on availabilty, for a fraction of the price to book them separately. The casino is smallish and dark but lit up by a wide variety of slots. BIG PLUS - IT DOESN"T SMELL LIKE THEY DIPPED THE HOTEL INTO AN ASHTRAY WHEN THEY BUILT IT. It is hard to find tables during crowded nights so keep your money and head to the pool/rehab bar for eye candy and tunes. My biggest beef with the HRH is the Joint. Oh, I like seeing an act there, but the entrance to the joint is in the middle of the hall from the main parking to the casino. There is a small hallway there and when there is a big event, usually heavy metal, or some kind of punk band, you have to push your way through throngs of concert goers as they rarely have organized lines. I also wish they offered a better gaming card. The offers I get are either a few dollars off restaurants or play $20.00 use 10$ freeplay. Still, for a reasonable getaway right in the middle of my hometown, you can't beat the Hard Rock.

Sentiment analysis: Was excited to hear that new "premium" outlet stores had opened in Glendale (101 Freeway @ Glendale). We waited for the Black Friday shoppers to go home and get some sleep before venturing the 45 miles from home to check them out. But first, I checked their website to see what their hours were, get directions, etc. I actually thought it was considerate of them to list the Arizona Cardinals "Game Days" being they're located right by the University of Phoenix stadium. HOWEVER...we got there to find that THIS game day was not listed (Sun, Nov 25th)! And guess what ~ they were charging $10 to park at the outlets, because those attending the game might park there, taking up all the free parking, and then walk over to the game. Didn't matter that we were there only for the outlet stores. But to make nice, we were given a coupon to redeem at the Service Center for a book of coupons that FAR exceeded the $10 charge to park. B...S... ~ NOT HAPPY AT ALL! And we were later to find out we weren't the only ones! So we track down the Service Center only to find a line of people that had been waiting for 25 minutes to get their wonderful coupon book. After scanning the coupons (of another shopper who was not happy about the parking fee), we found that the coupons were for 15% off a purchase of $100 or more, and not all stores at the outlets were represented. Well, I wasn't impressed by the selection of stores to warrant me EVER going back there. It takes me just about as long to go to the stores at Anthem. Now, I gave this whole situation some thought as I stewed about it for quite a while! First of all, I re-checked their website to make sure I didn't miss something, only to confirm that the day of our visit was not listed as a game day, nor was there anything about a $10 parking fee for that day. But then as I thought more about it, I thought, of course not! They are not going to let people know about the fee because the shopper will not visit that day; only the people attending the game. Thus, they will be losing out on the sales revenue. And then the more I thought about, I thought, "So, are they going to be charging people to park every time there's an event at the stadium?" And I have to conclude the answer is YES. So beware outlet shoppers! It's going to be a flip of a coin whether or not you're going to have to pay for parking. BTW...the stores there...not so premium.

Sentiment analysis: I chose Dr. Battersby from the insurance list because he was close. After my 1st visit I knew he would be my doctor forever. He is patient and practical. He is a serious healer and after 20+ years a trusted friend. He has made my life better and I am so very grateful to have him as my doctor.
