Abel Funeral Home did not pressure us about anything when we told them our wishes for our father's cremation and service. Brian was helpful and he listened to what we wanted. There was no hard sell, the arrangements were perfect, and my father was honored as a Veteran of the Korean War at the National Memorial Cemetery. Death is inevitable and it's nice to know all funeral homes are not all about the money.

Soup and chili were adequate for upper Midwest pretensions to Mexican food. Those who ordered the tacos plates seemed to enjoy them. The sliders (from the bar menu), on the other hand, were obviously a tribute to another Madison institution - the UW hockey team. Hard, dry, and tasteless. First reaction of one who ordered them - this tastes like a hockey puck. If I were a betting man, I'd wager the line cooks pressed down on the ground beef while grilling, a sure way to squeeze out the flavor. Amateur hour. Not a food that would encourage me to linger and have another drink. If you want sliders, go back to White Castle.

I am sure this would be a nice hotel if everything went the way it should have gone considering the relatively reasonable price on Hotwire. However, the staff there seems to reflect that discounted price. We knew we would be arriving late so we called ahead to get let them know that it would be a late check in. We also requested two double beds since there were three people in our group. When we arrived at 12:30 there were three people in line checking in. One person was at the desk working. An HOUR later we had just gotten to the front of the line and found out that we had no double beds after all. We were expected to share a king size bed. Let me again remind you that there were THREE people in our reservation. We asked to speak to the night manager, who was actually really nasty. He got smart with us and said, "Well what do you want me to do make a bed appear out of thin air?" (Yes, you work at a hotel that's exactly what we want you to do!) He offered us, I kid you not a toothbrush for our troubles. However, the worst part of all, was that we had to get back in line because he didn't check us in. We finally got in our room (with the king bed) at 2am. One of us wound up sleeping on the floor. As far as the room was concerned. It was ok. They tried to sell us on the fact that it was a corner room but what does it matter when the glass is so frosted over you can't see out of it? Bathroom was clearly for a disabled person and I was kind of grossed out that that shower was on the same level as the rest of the floor. The beds were comfy enough for those of us who actually got to sleep on them. A terrible experience overall.

I've been going to Lux Nail Bar since they opened here in Chandler. Everyone that works there has been really nice and Tom is very welcoming, excited to see me coming back. Their prices are a little spendy, I pay with tip, for a gel mani and regular pedi upwards to $75, maybe that's not spendy, but for me it is. Sometimes the gel will stay on my fingers for two, most of the time thought, it's off in a week. Love getting my nails done, but it never stays on :-( I'll keep coming back though. It's a nice, clean environment and I feel that they truly welcome the business.
