Fairfield Inn - November 18, 2006
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. The Fairfield Inn is a hotel that offers basic amenities, with the pocketbooks of the common student in mind that is visiting for the weekend or perhaps looking to move into Kalamazoo and needs a decent place to stay for the night. 4 stars for being good!
I recommend this place.

Equity Corporate Housing - November 18, 2006
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. If you would like to live in a house that will likely fall to the ground in the next 2-3 months, definitely check out Equity Corporate Housing in Kalamazoo. These homes are by far the worst I have ever visited, their is dirt on the walls and what appeared to be hair smothering the carpet. 2 for being disgusting.

Econo Lodge Kalamazoo - November 18, 2006
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Econo Lodge is named properly, they offer next to nothing for ease of use and comfortability, and the noise was just ridiculous, as it is located underneath a highway overpass. I was not pleased with my visit, but the name speaks it all. 3 stars for being honest!

Dillon Hall - November 18, 2006
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Dillon Hall is best of the best regarding hotels, offering the most luxurious of suites to those who have fat pocketbooks and are willing to spend more than a few Andrew Jackson's on a room for the night. The pool was great, and the beds were better. 4 stars for high prices!

Days Inn Kalamazoo Airport - November 18, 2006
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Days Inn is a decent hotel, it offers the basic amenities that please the majority of customers, although their pool needed a little work and their rooms were quite noisy. They also used a miniature toilet, which I could not fit on! 4 out of 5 for a decent hotel!

Country Inn & Suites by Carlson - November 18, 2006
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Country Inn Suites is the old style country living in a new-age revamped hotel complex. Sadly, nobody like to sleep in the "old western style" because it is not a very fine way of sleep it is wonderfully non comfortable. 2 out of 5!

Comstock Motor Court Motel - November 18, 2006
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Comstock Motor Court hotel was not a very good experience. I tripped down the flight of stairs leading into the BELOW GROUND complex where their apartments are, with no windows or anything. It was ridiculous, and I didn't like it.

Comfort Inn Airport - November 18, 2006

Cherokee Westlawn Apartments - November 18, 2006
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. The Cherokee Westlawn Apartments are not very fancy, but the are not poorly made either. They are created with the pocketbooks of the common student in mind, offering basic amenities that allow one to live comfortably, but not necessarily in style. 3 stars for a neutral standpoint!

Best Western Hospitality Inn - November 18, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Best Western is an amazing hotel that has many amenities to offer, ranging from free continental breakfast up to a superb swimming pool, topped off with just the right amount of chemicals to make for a perfect swimming experience! 5 stars for a job well-done, Best Western!

Baymont Inn Kalamazoo - November 18, 2006
0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Baymont Inn is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Between the lumpy mattresses, the cockroaches in the bathroom, and the torn up carpeting in the rooms, I did not appreciate this experience one bit. 1 star for a horrendous job, clean up your act, Baymont!

Assisted Living Concepts Sojorner House - November 18, 2006
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. When my Grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's last year, we knew that we had to get her into a nursing home sooner or later, so we began looking. Luckily, we found Assisted Living Concepts (Sojorner House), and it has been nothing but positive experiences for every one of us involved. 5 stars for a job well-done!

Airport Inn - November 18, 2006
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. The Airport Inn near Portage, simply put, is one of the most horrendous hotels I have ever stayed at. My plane landed quite late, so I had no time to find a place to sleep, so I went to this disgusting palace of cockroaches and lumpy mattresses. I got no sleep at all, and I was very disappointed since the sound of planes revving was heard all night long. 2 stars for a poor job.

Beaner's Gourmet Coffee - November 14, 2006

Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar - November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. This Applebee's was not quite as exhilarating as the previous, I had my bacon burger with sub-cheddar and cheese fries, but they forgot to sub in the cheddar cheese so I became quite unhappy but put up with it. 4 out of 5 earned, good old boys!

Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar - November 14, 2006
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Applebee's has always resided in my mind as a cheeseburger and fries joint, and they came through just as that. My bacon burger with sub-cheddar and cheese fries was absolutely delightful, and my $8.99 was well-spent!

Bacchus Wines & Spirits - November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Bacchus Wines & Spirits offers a selection of over 200 wines, aged up to 357 years (as of Nov. 2006!) and you will most certainly find what you are looking for. I blew over $300 on glasses of fine wines, and the tastes reside in my mouth to this day. I wish you all the best of luck finding your wine in this masterpiece collection!

Quality Furniture Plus Antiques - November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. I needed an old lamp to purchase for my grandmother and Quality Furniture Plus Antiques was the place to look. Right as I walked in, I was greeted by a man of likely 60 years, and boy did he know what he was talking about. He immediately showed me a lamp that was dazzling, and I picked it up for the steal of $70.
I was sad to leave, but I will surely return in due time!

(Note: The lamp had a small crack in it which I needed to later seal, earning the 4 instead of 5.)

Angelo's Italian Eatery - November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Oh Angelo, you are the best of men. The pizza was astonishing, Margarita Cheese encrusted with jalapenos and cajun crusts, seasoned with the best and served extra crisp, just the way I like it. $7.99 for a personal size one-topping pizza, dine-in only! I can only hope you all have just as positive an experience.

Amoco Sprinkle Road - November 14, 2006

Allstate Food Equipment - November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. My friend runs the Wendy's over on West Main, and he needed a new fry machine as his gave out. We headed over to Allstate Food Equipment and were amazed at what they had to offer. Their selection was astounding, and the prices (according to him) were thousands below retail value, or what the "Golden Locks" Corporation would have charged him for a new machine. His business is now again flourishing, and will hopefully continue for years to come!

Aladdin Palace - November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Aladdin Palace is a wonderful place to take the kids if you would like to be entertained, however their food is something that could be worked on. I simply had a bowl of chili fries and they managed to forget the chili and smother the fries in cheese, which I am sadly allergic to (Dairy!). Displeasured, I simply walked out of the restaurant, but not before they twice begged me to stay, eagerly throwing free meal vouchers at me as I briskly walked out the door. I will not be returning to Aladdin's, but perhaps you will have a better experience than I!

Joy Fong Restaurant - November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Joy Fong. Szechuan Shrimp. Ten dollars. Enough said?

The food was delectable, the atmosphere mesmerizing, and the servers were spectacular. I could do nothing more than smile and be amazed at how well this restaurant has done. They will be expanding in the next few months, and it can only be attributed to a job well accomplished!

40 Wink Motel - November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. 40 Wink Motel could be associated with the poorest of quality hotels that I have ever had the displeasure of rooming in. The pillows were lumpy, the bed rock-solid, and the toilet was not large enough even for a three-year-old. 1 star for a job hardly attempted, hopefully these guys can clean themselves up in the next few years or they surely will not be here.

Look no further, Superior Cleaners are here to tend to your every desire. Be it shirts or pants, jackets or long johns, these guys do it all and they do it well. 5 stars have been rightfully earned, good work Superior Cleaners!

Nob Hill Bar & Grill - November 14, 2006
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Do you like to party in a clean, safe environment? Be sure to stay away from Nob Hill Bar & Grill if so. While attending this restaurant I witnessed two people vomit, overpaying for food, and the luxury of finding what seemed to be a human hair in my chili fries. This was a very negative experience, and if not for the moderately entertaining atmosphere I would certainly have given them a 1.

Van's Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning - November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. One time I had the flu and had the trouble of vomiting over my apartment carpet a few times. This was a problem, and once I was cured, I needed someone to clean up the mess before my significant other arrived from New York. Van's was there and they completed the job in under 2 hours for less than what I make in a day. These guys will be there for you two, although they were not the friendliest of people, hence the 4 versus 5.

Great Steak and Potato - November 14, 2006
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Great Steak and Potatoes truly has the greatest steak and potatoes I have ever had. It was a classic dutch meal, complete with beef gravy and steak sauces that make my mouth water to this day. Their prices are well below any standard steakhouse, Great Steak and Potatoes is the place to be for delicious food and the not-so-fat wallet!

Fair Practices LLC - November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. The people at Fair Practices LLC give the people at the BBB (Better Business Bureau) a run for the money. They are an in-depth organization that ensures quality and fairness between consumer and supplier. I have visited their building not for the reason of reporting anyone, but because I wanted to rest assured that Kalamazoo had a "big brother" watching out for us, and that is what these people are here for.

Kalamazoo in Bloom Inc - November 14, 2006

If they for some reason do not have the flower in stock, they will overnight it from anywhere in the continental United States for free. I purchased some simple sunflowers at the magical price of $2.00 per bud, and they bring me joy every day.

Olde Peninsula Brewpub & Restaurant - November 14, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Olde Peninsula Brewpub & Restaurant, also known as "Oldies" by the locals, is a favorite among residents of Kalamazoo. Their diverse menu offers over 40 unique beers on tap and more than 100 different entrees available to suit your every mood. The prices may be considered a bit high, but for professional treatment, what can you expect? Oldies earns my 5 rating.

Drake Party Center - November 13, 2006
2 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Drake's Party Center is one of the best convenience stores I have ever entered. It has many similarities to 7-11, except that it sells hard liquor and its organization is much more enhanced. I needed a liter of orange juice and I found it immediately staring at me across the store. Within 30 seconds, I was out the door and sucking down Vitamin C and Citric Acid along with many other essential nutrients and minerals. If you need general items, Drake's Party is the place to be!

Hampton Inn Kalamazoo - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. The Hampton Inn was a decent hotel for the money, but just that. The wireless internet access throughout the hotel was a plus, as was the pool, but the room service was lax and the beds were just the same. I did not sleep very well that night, perhaps because every room near the pool smells of chlorine, which is not a pleasant smell to my nose. If you are lacking the money or willpower to invest in a hotel such as the Holiday Inn, then the Hampton Inn is the place to be. You will get the majority of the luxuries that the Holiday has to offer, with the exception of continental breakfast and good smells!

Continental Lanes Professional Shop - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Continental Lanes may very well be the best bowling alley in all of Kalamazoo. Their bowling balls are cleaned to perfection, leaving no residue on your hands after any amount of time, dissimilar from most other bowling alleys. Also, their shoes were a bit worn, but they were all the more comfortable. If you enjoy bowling in a clean, safe environment, Continental Lanes is the place for you to be.

Gum Ho Restaurant - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. The Gum Ho restaurant is a place where I felt just at home. I consumed an acute selection of Kung Pow chicken along with my customary white rice with loads of soy sauce. The price was right and I walked out with a filled stomach and wallet. I recommended this place to my older brother and he plans on holding his wedding reception in the same exact restaurant. I think that we can all rest assured that his reception will go by without a hitch.

Cinema X Adult Theatre - November 13, 2006
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Have you ever been in that mood where you just gotta see an adult-oriented film? I can tell you that I have entered that stage more than once in my life, and the Cinema X Adult Theatre had everything I needed to stay on track with a mindset to pull through and continue living my life normally. If you ever enter this mood, I would most definitely recommend the Cinema X Adult Theatre as the place to be.

Celebration Cinema at Crossroads - November 13, 2006

Holiday Lanes - November 13, 2006
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful. If you enjoy bowling as much as I do, you know that Holiday Lanes is the place to be. With over twenty well-waxed lanes and brand new shiny bowling shoes, there is no way that you could not enjoy this family-oriented alley. Food and drinks are also available, but how can one take the time to consume beverages and sustenance whilst engulfed in a world of rolling balls and flying pins. I would recommend this alley to anyone with a love for bowling with the thought of family in mind.

Acapulco Mexican Restaurant - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Being a hardcore fan of Mexican food, I decided that I wanted to attend the Acapulco Mexican Restaurant. Simply ordering four cheese and chicken quesadillas, I was very impressed when I was given a variety of sauces and salsas to choose from, along with the free appetizer chips and salsa. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone with a nerve for a cultural experience like no other.

Around ten dollars and half an hour later, I was walking out with a full stomach and wallet.

Campus Kitchen - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Campus Kitchen has amazing oriental food for an amazing price. I personally had Szechuan shrimp with a side of white rice and soy sauce, and I do not regret it in the least. The food had a spice to it that made my whole body tingle, although I had only dropped $5.00 for the fine food. I would recommend Campus Kitchen to the casual eater who is looking for some good food for a minimal price.

Story's Grocery Inc - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Are you in need of a grocery store that has literally everything? Stray away from Meijer's and come over to the new store in town. Namely, Story's. They have everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to custom-baked cakes and pies. Every week I choose to shop here because of the lower prices for my weekly goods, such as food and milk. Shop Story's!

Holiday Motel - November 13, 2006
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Holiday Motel was below the quality of place I would expect to stay as a college student. The beds were uncomfortable and lumpy and the television was nowhere to be found. I tried to connect my laptop to their internet, until I realized that they did not provide internet to their guests. I hardly slept a wink all night, and unless you would like to do the same, I would not recommend this "hotel."

Servpro - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. When my apartment flooded with the rain the past few months, I knew that I needed some professional help in order to get things back on track. $300 and five hours later, Servpro had completely restored by apartment to its original condition, even offering to replace portions of the wallpaper that they had been unable to remove the water from. I greatly appreciated their assistance and prices, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Great Wall Restaurant - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. The Great Wall Restaurant was a wonderful experience for me and my significant other. We entered the welcoming atmosphere at approximately 5:00PM, and we were able to leave by 6:30PM, which is quite fast for such a professional restaurant. The food was wonderful, we both had the Szechuan Shrimp with a side of carrots and white rice. Stomachs full, we paid our customary 20% tip and left happy.

Holiday Inn Hotels - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Months ago before I lived in Kalamazoo, I had the opportunity to attend at aviation conference at the museum downtown. Sadly, I knew no one in the area at the time, and I was offered to stay in the "best of rooms." Namely, this meant the Kalamazoo Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites. I was roomed with a single king-size bed, and the night went by without a hitch. I dozed off to sleep without any distractions, the walls were very adequate at dampening noises. Although I did not take the opportunity to go for a swim in their enormous in-ground pool, I did pop into the hot tub for a few moments and it was all that I could have expected. Overall, this was a VERY positive hotel experience, and I would recommend this hotel to anyone who would like to receive the best possible treatment Kalamazoo has to offer.

Super 8 Motel - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. The Super-8 motel of Kalamazoo is a hotel for students and young adults who perhaps do not have the money to stay in such places as a Holiday Inn. With a nice low room-rate, my friend and I were able to bunk up in adjacent double beds and enjoy a nice swim in the below-ground heated pool, along with doze off to sleep whilst watching the premium movie channels included on the 27-inch TV on the oak pedestal at the foot of the room. In the morning, we checked out by noon (or else we would have to pay double!) and everything went by smoothly. I would recommend this place to anyone who would like luxury-style treatment without emptying their purse or wallet.

Movies at Crossroads - November 13, 2006
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Movies at the Crossroads was a very negative experience for both me and my significant other. Firstly, we walked into the theatre and were not greeted but were simply asked if we planned on purchasing tickets or just standing there. Reluctantly, I wasted twenty dollars of hard-earned cash on two movie tickets, and no sooner were we seated in the most uncomfortable seats imaginable. Straight-backed and unreclinable, I could do nothing but sit there and wait until the end of the film. Leaving, I will admit that the same man who urged us to purchase tickets earlier gave us a hearty smile and encouraged us to "return soon." I am not so certain that this man will be seeing us again.
I do not recommend this place.

Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. The Air Zoo in Kalamazoo, as it has come to be known, is one of the most amazing spectacles of this town. Regardless of whether or not you possess an interest in aviation, this museum will surely have an exhibit that will excite you as it did for me, and seem to inspire you to learn more about the field of aviation. I will be returning to this museum with my younger brother in a few weeks, and I am certain he will appreciate it as much or more than myself.

Hot Topic - November 13, 2006
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Hot Topic is a very well-stocked store for the individual who likes to dress with a hint of aggressiveness. Myself, I dress in American Eagle and Eddie Bauer, or more contemporary than Hot Topic.

However, if your style is darker clothing, perhaps adorning chains or multiple piercings, Hot Topic is most definitely the store for you to shop. The prices are very reasonable, and if it were my style of clothing it would definitely be my store of choice.
