Example: I just returned from a trip to Scottsdale and staying at Hotel Valley Ho. \n\nHave a seat, get a drink and get comfy. This is going to be a doozy. \n\nI picked up my rental car & headed to Hotel Valley Ho. The entrance to the hotel is off the main road & actually 'behind' it. Kinda strange but I thought maybe it was an \""AZ\"" thing. I pull up to check-in and I'm told that it's valet parking ($14/day) if I want to leave my car to go check-in. I ask where I should park if I want to self-park. I am told that it's next door in the Trader Vic's parking lot. \n\nSo I turn the car around and go park 'next door'. Let me say that it is NOT close and there are no sidewalks! So you end up walking on the road as you can't push your luggage through the grass. \n\nSo after I walk back to the front of the hotel to check-in, the first thing I encounter is a group of drunken girls in bikinis hooting & hollering at the valet staff. They are having some sort of flirtatious interaction and I thought \""What did I get myself info?\""\n\nI check-in without too much trouble & I head up to the 6th floor to my room. The room seems nice enough although I found a little odd at first that some of my light switches didn't appear to 'do' anything. I leave to meet a gf for dinner so I don't bother to try to figure out what's going on. \n\nWe head to dinner & arrive back to the hotel around 9pm. It is now dark in Scottsdale as the sun has set. I had to walk to the hotel from the Trader Vic's parking lot (in the dark, on the street since there is no sidewalk). I did not feel safe AT ALL and there is not great lighting along the walk back to the hotel. \n\nI retreat to my room and think that maybe I'll take a bath since the tub is so large and deep. That is one thing that is 'good' about the hotel is the bathroom is nice & over-sized. \n\nI now realize that my lights aren't working since the room is so dark. It's quite strange as there's no reason why it shouldn't be. I proceed to mess with all the switches in the room and still can't turn on anything but the entry way lights. \n\nI call the front desk to ask for assistance. The girl tells me she'll send maintenance up. 20 mins go by - nothing. Shocker. I call again and am rudely told that she'll try again to call maintenance. A gentlemen finally shows up but I hear him knocking next door. I open my door and ask him if he means to come to my room. \n\nHe tells me that he has to go next door to check the circuit breaker. Sure enough, somehow the lights in MY room got turned off because of the circuit breaker. Why would you check someone into a room and have it have bad light switches?\n\nAnother odd side note: There was no hotel directory in the room. You know, the one that tells you when the pool's open, what they offer in the hotel. But they had plenty of books & magazines for you to read. So I kept having to call the front desk if I had a question. \n\nI had purchased wifi ($9.99 for 1MB or $14.99 for 3MB) and it was incredibly slow. It was to be 24 hours for that fee. I had a business meeting for half the day and I returned around 8pm. When I attempted to re-connect to the wifi, it wasn't working. \n\nNow I'm a tech savvy girl, it was clear the router was down & needed a reboot. When I called the front desk (again), I was told that they'd have to send the IT guy up as 'they can't troubleshoot'. \n\nSo after a long sweaty workout in their \""24 hour gym\"", I had to sit and wait for the IT guy to come to my room. It was the same guy who had been the maintenance guy. He watches me try to connect to the wifi and it fail. And then his solution was to have me wire in via USB. \n\nIt worked after a few attempts but what's the point of wifi if you're going to have to wire in? \n\nThen in the morning, I was going to check my email before I flew out and found that the \""24 hour internet service\"" I paid for apparently reset at midnight. So instead of having a real '24 hour' clock, I had a 15 hour clock. That is ridiculous to charge $14.99 for internet that didn't work half the time and then timed out earlier than it should have. \n\nThe pool was nice although I never got to spend any time 'in' it. I tried to catch some sun before I had to head out for the day. It was absolutely dead. Quiet. When I returned home at 4pm and debated the pool, it was full of douches. They had opened up a bar and DJ booth and the music was clear all the way up to my 6th floor closed door patio. \n\nI can see why some reviewers have said the scene is all about eye candy. \n\nI also had breakfast in Cafe Zuzu one morning and the waitress was horrible. (I'll write a separate review about that). \n\nOverall, the hotel had potential to be nice but they lost it all in the lack of service and the \""I don't care\"" attitude. \n\nIf you don't want to be in hospitality, then don't. But don't punish those who travel for the fact that you are miserable. It also was quite steep (over $200/night) and don't feel it offered anything worthy of that. \n\nI'll never make an appearance again.

Example: Probably the worst experience I have had at any restaurant in the Phoenix area. It took 10 minutes for the hostess to even appear to seat us. Our waitress came to the table 4 times as she and all the other waitresses and staff were more worried about following the manager around playing around and flirting. But the worst part was the food by far. The tempura shrimp and veggies were soggy and the sushi was something I could get in a grocery store.... Gross!

Example: this place is deplorable! i have no idea how they stay in biz. I really wanted to like this place because its so close to where im living and i use the shopping center regularly. but i walked in for mani and pedi...the man in charge seemed polite enough but the lady that came to do my nails was beyond rude. her tone and demeanor is bitter and miserable and the service was unbelievably poor quality. \n\nAlso forgot to mention, the place reeeks of acrylic...no ventilation. they leave the front door open but no fan or a/c to circulate. Awful.

Example: I got some coupons in the mail, urging me to try out this newly-renovated Safeway. It's only a touch further than my Albertsons, so i  figured, why not?\n\nI hadn't seen it before, so I can't really compare it to its old state. But it certainly is pretty now. It appears this now is one of those fancier \""market\"" type Safeways.\n\nMy feelings on those are mixed. I like that they offer some more gourmet, and high quality products. I don't like the clausterphobic feeling created by higher shelves and narrower aisles -- exacerbated by lots of displays. Maybe that's just my hangup. \n\nThe store was blessedly empty for a Sunday afternoon, so I didn't have to fight too many people to get by. But I imagine if I tried to shop on a Monday evening, I'd have to hurt someone.\n\nAnyway, the store is very neat and bright, and has many services, such as a large floral section and of course, a Starbucks. There is a another one in the parking lot, in case you start to crash within those 50 yards.\n\nI was also pleased to find that they have a gas station out front too, and you can qualify for 20 cents off a gallon - that's cheaper than Costco! I will certainly be hitting them up for my next fill up.

Example: I don't know why there're so many bad reviews for Aria buffet. We had a great time there! Yes, the price is around $35 which is slightly more than others but we think it's worthwhile considering the overall Experience. The waitress that we had was awesome! She was super attentive that makes the one we had from Planet Hollywood's looks really bad!! The food was great, the 1/2 lobster was delicious and no extra cost!

Example: Pizza isn't half bad....but it's way overrated, and overpriced. If I want good pizza there are plenty of places I would think to go before Grimaldi's.

Example: Impressions from my first visit: Great food and prices. Very friendly staff. Casual, clean, inviting atmosphere. Family friendly.  We will be back!

Example: My son absolutely loves this place (I do too).....He said \""tigers blood is the most best flavor I think\"". You can get a mini sno ball for 75 cents, which is perfect for the little ones. I'll admit that the owner can be a little \""cold\"" but he has passion for his product and knows his stuff.

Classify the following: Booked a night at Planet Hollywood to watch Britney's Piece of me with my best friend.\n\nPaid $180 and change plus tax. And $20. Something for resort fee( which we did not use anything in the resort) \n\n$200+ for one night of stay only to find out they have put us into the corner of the corner of their hotel. The sidekick room of the suite!! And on top of that  the water pressure for the shower felt like I was showering in a 3rd world country... \n\nMy suggestion for everyone is this. If you don't have to stay here. Book else where. Totally not worth the $$$
