I went to Florida in August 2005, and stayed at the Staybridge Suites for my 2 weeks. Whilst I was there I found that it was a great place to stay.

- Airconditioning
- Longe with sofa bed
- TV + Video/DVD player (lounge)
- Tv in both bedrooms
- Dining table (lounge)

The hotel has the following facilities: - 24hour shop
- Internet
- Bar
- Buffet breakfast
- Tourist desk
- Reception
- Free daily newspapers
- Outside pool with bar
- Laundry facilities
- Pay phones
- ATM
- Car park

There is an i-Ride (trolly bus that takes you up and down International Drive) stop outside the hotel - but I recomend you don't use it as they are always packed, don't always stop, or if you're like us one never came along when we wanted one!! - use a taxi instead, they are always available and we found one very useful (King Soloman), who took us to Disney and Universal Studios. Disney, Universal Studios, Discovery Cove, Sea World - it is reccomended that you use a taxi or hire a car to visit these attractions as they are some distance away from the hotel and International Drive. Do not use the public bus! I was left outside disney for hours with my family because they decided they were on strike!

There is a great resturant opposite the hotel - Ponderosa.
You on entry pay for your meal then get to enjoy a huge buffet before main arrives. Fizzy drinks are 'free' refils.
A great place to eat, but you need to be hungry.
There are a number of other resrurants and supermarkets a minute walk from the hotel.

Attractions along International drive:
- Titanic museum - this was a great place to visit. There was an hour talk/tour then you were able to walk around afterwards and then a gift shop. Opposite hotel
- Shopping mall - with lots of shops!
- Pirate golf - good for kids and opposite hotel
- wonderworks - great for kids, fun science things to do

they do really nice lemon pepper chicken sandwiches!

(edit: June 2011: now closed)

Greeting cards, diarys, notebooks, photoframes, bags, and even more!

I just love paperchase! They have some great cards, gifts and stationary!

Paperchase have a few different ranges/collections which change every season or so. At the moment my favourite is their owl collection.

On 30th August 2006, I had the graat job of being a bridesmaid to my cousin at The Moat House, and I found it a lovely place.

It is about 10 miles from Rugeley.
The grounds are lovely, where the hotel is set in the village of Acton Trussell. There is a pond with loads of ducks in it and they kept getting in the way of the photographs!

The hotel is set by a canal and you can see the long boats going by from the Acton Suite, where the wedding took place.
The staff were ever so friendly and helpful, serving your food, and changing the room round for the different parts of the day very quickly.

I did not stay in one of the rooms over night, b ut I was told by a family member that it was excellent and so was the included breakfast the following day.

We had a 3 course meal after the ceremony, drink after the ceremony, bbq in the evening with a disco.

If you are planning a wedding, I would reccomend this place for it. It was a lovely day.

I went here at the end of August with my parents for my dad's birthday, and it was really nice.

It is a very small pub, that you probably wouldn't know of unless you used the country lanes, but it was very pretty.

The staff are friendly and the food was lovely.

Highly reccommend.

Un hôtel fantastique, et super bien situé ! On n'est jamais trop loin de quelque chose à faire. J'ai séjourné dans cet hôtel 2 fois en quelques années, et je dois dire que j'ai totalement apprécié les deux fois. Les chambres sont de très bonnes dimensions, et vraiment d'excellente qualité. Elles sont vraiment très bien équipées aussi, coffre-fort, tv, salle de bain, savons, etc., nécessaire pour préparer le thé, journaux gratuits le matin ! Les employé de l'hôtel sont tout ce qu'il y a de plus aimable, ils saluent toujours et proposent volontiers leur aide. La boutique de l'hôtel fournit tout ce dont on peut avoir besoin, journaux, magazines, cachets contre le mal de tête, bonbons et quelques cadeaux. Il y a une salle de gym et aussi un théâtre.. A chaque extrémité de la rue, on tombe directement sur Broadway et Times Square.. Plein de boutiques !! On peut passer des heures dehors à se flâner et dépenser ! Super sympa !! =D !! Il y a aussi plein de restaurants dans le coin.. Il y a un grand magasin juste en face de l'hôtel qui vend de la nourriture -> boissons, chips, fruits, pâtisseries, plats chauds... Il FAUT y aller si vous restez dans cet hôtel, j'y suis allé deux fois par jour quand j'étais à New York. Employés/propriétaires aimables. Je recommande vraiment cet hôtel - c'était un séjour fantastique !

You can find some good bargins in Peacocks.

You can get some really good bargins in poundland. A lot of the stuff you can find in this store you can find for a higher price in a different store/supermarket!

Good for bargin hunters

I just love this place.

It is located in the Eden centre, and they can make a mikshake out of any chocolate or sweet you can think of!

I have had cadbury fudge, and a cadbury caramel shakes, and they were fantastic!

Highly recommend a visit!

This is quite a cool shop.

It is a great place to find a gift for someone, I would say mainly girly gifts are found here though.

I like to go in to just have a wander round and look at all the different things they sell there.

You can find everything from candles, keyrings, jewellery, jewellery boxes and more here!

The shop is situated next to F Hinds, and opposite Out to lunch.
