		<description><![CDATA[We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Richfield, OH. Although I spent points for a normal room for two nights, they upgraded us to a &#8220;suite,&#8221; which is a room-and-a-half.
The two queen beds were new yet soft, and I felt a little comfortable sleeping on the edge of the mattress as a Dad has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wanting a change from the normal hotel routine, I stayed at the Residence Inn Bakersfield, a Marriott property. The Residence Inn is an extended stay chain, and general comments about extended stays have been posted previously.
Rooms are organized in buildings of two floors, four rooms per floor. My room was twice the size of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thursday night or Friday you will see a Hotel Report about the place I am staying in, which is an extended stay hotel. You&#8217;ll get the specifics then, but the general differences deserve a post of their own.
I usually do not like extended stay hotels. Housekeeping usually doesn&#8217;t make the bed every day or take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express during my stay in Woodland, CA, just outside of Sacramento.
I was upgraded to a king suite, which was really one large room instead of two rooms. There was plenty of room for a couch, coffee table, and a kitchenette with a refrigerator and microwave. The 30&#8243; TV had [...]]]></description>

I was upgraded to a king room with 9&#8242; ceilings. The desk had plenty of room for my electronics and books. The lamp had two electrical outlets, but the wall had an additional three outlets available. The desk chair was comfortable and easily adjustable. An [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week in Bakersfield I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on the south side of town. 
I got a nicely spacious room with a vaulted ceiling and a king bed. There was enough room to stretch and do in-room calisthenics. The refrigerator and mini microwave were tucked inside the TV entertainment center, which housed [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had booked Williston&#8217;s Marquis Plaza and Suites online, but the online booking botched my non-smoking request. When I arrived and they had put me in the nastiest-smelling smoking room I&#8217;d seen in a while, I asked for a non-smoking room.  They didn&#8217;t have one. I started calling the other hotels in Williston, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Williston, ND, has no major hotel brands. There was a Holiday Inn at the airport once, but it has since been sold off. El Rancho Motor Hotel is the one that Halliburton prefers.
My drive-up room was pretty large, with room to spread out. The king-size bed and the pillows were pretty comfortable. The refrigerator was [...]]]></description>

I get that feeling with the Holiday Inn Express halfway between Denver and Brighton. It is about 40 minutes to downtown Denver, about 15 minutes to Brighton, and about 10 minutes west to Northglenn, where the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting a room in downtown Denver for a long time was difficult, so I was bounced around to three different hotels during my stay here. Going to Vernal and Grand Junction didn&#8217;t help.
The Comfort Inn in downtown Denver is a nice place to stay but has some strange features due to it being an old [...]]]></description>
