Our final stop in Hawaii was Oahu. Several people told the Jeffsetters that we would hate Waikiki when we posed the "where to stay" question on our blog.

During my week-long visit to the Twin Cities, I stayed in 3 hotels and will review each of them over the next 3 … [Read more...] about Marriott Minneapolis City Center Hotel Review
