Hotel Review: Hyatt Place Cleveland / Independence, Ohio
After spending a month in Cincinnati, Shae, Truffles and I made our way a few hours north-east to Cleveland.

Hotel Review: Hyatt Place Memphis/Primacy Parkway, Tennessee
When looking at our accommodation options for Memphis, we didn't have many potential choices that fit our budget cash-wise.

Hotel Review: Hyatt Place Chantilly/Dulles Airport South, Virginia
During our recent visit to Washington D.C., we decided to stay 12 nights at the Hyatt Place Chantilly/Dulles Airport South. In hindsight, that was a bit of a mistake. Not because the hotel was terrible, but because it was a pain driving into the city each day. Instead, I wish … [Read more...] about Hotel Review: Hyatt Place Chantilly/Dulles Airport South, Virginia
