I got
a great Elite Rate of $150.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the elite

a $100 resort credit.</div>

The

Andaz or the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine.</div>

After
a long day of flying, I arrived at the <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/lgaqa-fairfield-inn-new-york-laguardia-airport-astoria/">Fairfield Inn New York LaGuardiaAirport/Astoria</a> a little after 9:00 PM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The complimentary shuttle is very nice and convenient, but I had to wait
about 25 minutes and had to call the hotel to find out their schedule.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
hotel is only about 10 minutes from the airport in a residential area right off
the freeway.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
I had
used an expiring free night certificate as room rates were about $200.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since I was only going to be there for about
8 hours, I thought this was an exceptional use of the certificate.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
hotel lobby is very small with a small seating area and tiny mini-mart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is convenient is that there is a
television with outgoing flight information for all carriers.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The front desk is to the right. Check-in was quick, and the front desk agent was very friendly. She provided with menus of several local restaurants that provided free delivery when I asked if there were any good restaurants in the area. </div>

I did
not have time to partake in the complimentary breakfast, but for once the
breakfast area was very calm and not crowded at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most of the hotels that offer a complimentary
breakfast appear as though a food fight is about to break like in Animal
House.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It usually is a free for all
situation.</div>

The
hotel is clean, close to the airport, and the free shuttle and complimentary
breakfast are extra perks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If I needed
to stay close to the airport again, I would stay here again.</div>

<a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/RanchoMirage/Dining/StateFare/Default.htm">StateFare Bar & Kitchen</a> is the main restaurant at the Ritz Carlton Rancho
Mirage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their steakhouse, The Edge, is
not yet open and is scheduled to open sometime in October as well as the Club
Lounge.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The restaurant
prides itself on locally sourced ingredients, working with local farms and
ranches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
I
booked my stays through a Ritz Carlton Stars Agent, which includes a room
upgrade upon availability, daily breakfast for 2, a welcome amenity, a contact
person within the hotel for any needs, and a guaranteed late check-out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some of these benefits are similar to those
for Marriott or Ritz Carlton Gold or Platinum members, however these do not
apply to Rtiz Carlton stays, so the benefits are actually useful in this case.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
With
the daily breakfast there is a limit of $70 per day, which is quite generous,
and can be taken via room service if you prefer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

The
weekend buffet, which is rather limited and will be expanded in October for
Sunday Brunch from what I have been told.</div>

The
Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Cheese Salad ($14) is a take on the classic Tomato
and Mozzarella salad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tomatoes were
slightly under ripe and a little firm, while the burrata was perfectly rich and
creamy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The basil added a nice anise
bite.</div>

The
Chocolate Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream is supposed to be a take on the molten
chocolate cake, but like many desserts at State Fare this one falls short as
well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The brownie was not oozing
chocolate in the middle as one would expect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Unfortunately, it was a little dry that could not be saved even by the
melting ice cream.</div>

State
Fare Bar & Kitchen is great in the farm to table concept, but many dishes
were poorly executed, not well seasoned and not using the best and most ripe
produce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully things will change
and improve as the kitchen gains more experience.</div>

I
recently had the opportunity to have multiple stays at the newly re-opened <a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/RanchoMirage/Default.htm">RitzCarlton Rancho Mirage</a>.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
I will
break down the hotel in three posts: the rooms and property, the food and
finally the welcome amenities since I booked the room through a Ritz Carlton
Stars agent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was told that the hotel
does want to be part of Virtuoso, but has not yet been accepted into the
program.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
hotel is located up in the hills, which is a semi-private road in that the only
houses in the neighborhood are part of the Ritz Carlton Residences.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
As you
pull into the driveway of the hotel, you are immediately greeted by the
friendly valet staff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luggage assistance
is gladly provided.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
As you
enter the hotel, the lobby looks like a warm and inviting living room rather
than a hotel lobby.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are large
sofas surrounding a fireplace.</div>

The
front desk is to the right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is
usually no line to check-in as the property is somewhat small with 244
rooms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Check-in is generally very
friendly and quick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are also
flavored waters at the front desk, which is rather refreshing on hot summer

The
air conditioner in the room is not very strong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is only one vent in the room, and while the room would get cool,
it would never get cold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a huge
disappointment during the summer when temperatures can get over 110 degrees.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
The
gym is located away from the main hotel building and is located next to the
spa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The gym is fairly large and was
surprisingly busy at times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a
variety of equipment including weight machines, treadmills, bikes, elliptical
machines, gym balls and a small free weight area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is also a “studio” of sorts with
spinning equipment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a small
refrigerator which sometimes held cold, wet towels while other times held
bottles of water.<br />
<br />
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

There
is a Club Level at the hotel which is not yet open.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I believe it is scheduled to open in October
along with their steakhouse, The Edge.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
Club Lounge is rather small but most club lounges that I have been to have
never been overcrowded so I do not think this will be an issue.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
This
is a great addition to the hotels in the Palm Springs area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only downside of the hotel is that there
is a $30 resort fee, along with $30 for valet parking which is mandatory as
there are no self-parking options.</div>

me that she would be up to show me to another room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other room had a funny smell slightly
reminiscent of faint urine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was
extremely apologetic and we informed her that we wouldn’t mind going back to
the first room if she thought it would not be needed for another guest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She assured me it was fine and we proceeded
back to the first room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also gave me
$20 off the room for the inconvenience.</div>

Fairfield
Inn offers a complimentary buffet breakfast to all guests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The buffet area is fairly small with limited
seating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a mad house and some of
the guests were just grabbing things and cutting in front of people like they
hadn’t eaten for a week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I decided to
pass of the breakfast for fear of losing a hand in case somebody thought it was
a scrap of food.</div>

Although
the room overlooked the 55 freeway, there was very little noise when the
windows were shut.</div>

<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
air conditioning worked great, perfect for the hot summer days.</div>

There
is a complimentary breakfast buffet for all guests which is the norm at the
Residence Inn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The food area is rather
small and gets very cramped and crowded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are hot options including scrambled eggs, sausage, oatmeal and a
waffle maker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cold options include
cereal, bread, pastries, bagels, yogurt and fruit.</div>

<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
All in
all I had a great stay at the hotel, but staffing could use some improvement.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
It
should be noted that upgrading to a 1 bedroom suite seems to only be $10-$20
more than a regular room which is probably very well worth it.</div>

<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Hotels
in the Palm Springs area are very cheap during the hot summer months, much like
hotels in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area or in Las Vegas during the week.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
<a href="http://indianwells.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html">Hyatt Regency Indian Wells</a> has been a mini treasure trove of extra points in
the past during the summer as the Regency Club is normally closed during the
summer, meaning an extra 2,500 Gold Passport Points to Hyatt Diamond members
along with full breakfast in the Lantana restaurant.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Unfortunately
for point seekers, the Regency Club is planned to be open the entire summer
which is both good and bad.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is nice
to have snacks and drinks available throughout the day, but the extra points
and full breakfast is a trade-off I am willing to make.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Although
there was a “My Elite” rate of $92 which is incredibly cheap, I opted to book a
room through Virtuoso which includes an upgraded room, 4 PM late check-out,
free breakfast and a $100 resort credit per stay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of the benefits are redundant with being
a Hyatt Diamond member, with the exception of the $100 resort credit, and in
this case, the 4 PM late check-out since this does not apply to resorts.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
Virtuoso rate was $114 so for paying an extra $22 I received the $100 resort
credit.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
self-parking fee of $10 is also waived for Hyatt Diamond members, but
unfortunately the $23 resort fee is not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The resort fee includes internet, golf bag storage and shuttle to the
golf course, exercise classes, etc. many things I do not take advantage

items included eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes and pancakes (Hyatt makes some of

when booking a room through Virtuoso you also get a welcome amenity, however

There was also a personalized note from the Assistant General Manager.<br />
<br />
All of these were a nice touch.<br />
<br />
Is this a new amenity for Hyatt Diamond Members, or was just this something new for this hotel.<br />
<br />
I have stayed at this property numerous times over the years but have never been given a welcome amenity.<br />
<br />
If this is something new for Diamond Members for properties such as Hyatt Place or Hyatt House, then it improves things to the same level as Marriott gives their Platinum Members when staying at Courtyard properties as you are usually given a bag of chips, a granola bar, a candy bar, a piece of fruit and a bottle of water.<br />

I was booked
into a King Room with Club Lounge access, however I was informed that I had
been further upgraded to an Executive Suite (which measures 1,200 square feet) with
Club Lounge access.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am not sure if
this was due to <a href="http://myterytraveler.blogspot.com/2013/09/ritz-carlton-los-angeles.html">my prior experience</a>, or the fact that the Stanley Cup was going
on and the hotel was nearly sold out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Either way I was pleasantly surprised and grateful for the further
upgrade.</div>

There
are two sinks with plenty of counter space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>So much so that you could turn it into a bar if you wanted to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My main problem with the sinks was the type
and location of the faucets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although
they are nice, they are located so high above the sink and the water comes out
with so much force that placing your hands under the running water caused it to
be splashed all over the place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt

The “Original
Baco” ($12) has pork, beef carnitas and a salbitxada sauce with peppery greens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pork belly was almost nothing but hard,

were only a few small pieces of beef, which were tender and flavorful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I did not like the salbitxada sauce which is
a Catalan sauce made with tomatoes, almonds, chilis, parsley, garlic, vinegar
and olive oil.</div>

The “Carne
Picada” ($13) is a flatbread type pizza with a spicy beef almost reminiscent of

and “coca” (flatbread pizza) that were ordered.</div>

The
Lollipop Kale ($14) comes with deep fried pig ears, crème fraiche and
togarashi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The kale is both crunchy and
a little chewy at the same time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pig
ears, a scary proposition for most people, is sort of a “beginner” dish in that
it is deep fried.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who isn’t willing to
try anything deep fried, right?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Much to
my dismay, the pig ears were underseasoned and was lacking in flavor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although crunchy, it had a “meaty” essence
with no real distinction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The kale was
overpoweringly sour in my opinion, but my dining companions thoroughly enjoyed
the dish.</div>

The
Octopus ($22) comes with squid ink pasta and fennel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The octopus was cooked nicely, and was tender

to impart a slightly smoky flavor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
pasta was slightly overcooked and was slightly mushy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The fennel added a flavor contrast with its
anise flavor.</div>

The
Fried Chicken Oatmeal ($14) comes with peas and a sunny side up egg. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The name of the dish is somewhat misleading,
as this is really fried chicken skin with no meat whatsoever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The skin was nicely crisp and light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The oatmeal added some body to the dish while
the peas added a subtle sweetness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
sunny side up egg just added more confusion to the age old question, “Which
came first, the chicken or the egg?”</div>

The

looks very intimidating at first glance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They look like rough river rocks or 1,000 year old ages covered in dust.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The black vinegar comes in a small atomizer
and adds some sweetness and acidity to the dish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It pairs perfectly with the expertly cooked
potatoes which are firm on the outside, and slightly creamy on the inside.</div>

very tender, but was lacking in flavor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It could have used a touch of salt to bring out more of the beef
flavor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The puffed tendon tasted like a
flavorless chicharone but was greasy in flavor and texture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although the mashed potatoes may have been
flavored with seaweed, there were tapiko fish eggs in the dish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mashed potatoes had a distinct briny and
fishy taste that was not off putting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

don’t be surprised if you get bumped into throughout the night.</div>

I
arrived at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport about 3:00 PM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You go through Immigration Pre-Clearance at
the airport which saves the time and hassle of doing it once you land at your
destination.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
They
do have a Global Entry line in addition to the regular line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily, I do have global entry and was
through in about 5 minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My travel
companion however, does not have Global Entry and the process took about one
hour.</div>

Flying
in business class allows one to use Air Canada’s Maple Leaf Lounge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once getting through security, there is an
elevator to the right of the escalator that takes you to the gates.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
Maple Leaf Lounge is one floor up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
exiting the elevator, you are let off directly at the entrance of the
lounge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The lounge attendants were
friendly and greeted me warmly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once
showing my boarding pass, I was allowed entrance.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
lounge is one long corridor with some seating to the left of the entrance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The remainder of the lounge is located to the
right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They do have shower facilities in
the lounge, however I did not have a chance to take a look.</div>

<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Food
choices were pretty limited with several types of salad, hummus, chips,
cookies, muffins and other snack items.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There were no sandwiches or other types of protein available during my
visit.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
There
is a fairly well stocked selection of drinks, beer and spirits.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
I only
spent about 25 minutes in the lounge so didn’t have a chance to really look
around.</div>

appreciated the extra legroom and slightly wider seats.</div>

The
Trio of Desserts ($32) was a disappointment on several levels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were not told that the dish would consist

special was a Blueberry type cake, which was nothing special at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Warm Molten Chocolate Cake was okay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The jackfruit adds an interesting flavor to a
classic dish.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Chocolate Peanut
Butter Bar was akin to a grown up cross between a Twix Bar and a Reese’s Peanut
Butter Cup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dish is rather rich.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Given
that I was fully stuffed and the normal portion sized desserts, the overall
enjoyment of the desserts was not there.</div>

<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
Although
the shrimp and striploin dishes were complete winners, the overall meal was
somewhat of a disappointment, which is sort of what I expected coming in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the high expectations, it would have
been a miracle for the meal to live up to my expectations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Am I glad I ate here?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, since I’ve been wanting to try Susur’s
food for many years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Would I come back
here?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not likely given the other
interesting choices in Toronto.</div>

The
<a href="http://parktoronto.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html">Park Hyatt Toronto</a> is set in swanky Yorkville, where the likes of Hermes, Louis
Vuitton, Cartier, Prada and the like are located.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The area is differentiated from the rest of
Toronto as the sidewalks are lined with black granite tiles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This part of town is some of the most
expensive retail space in North America.</div>

Upon
entering the Park Hyatt, the front desk is located slightly to the left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The front desk agent was very friendly, and
upon giving her my information merely stated that my room was ready.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She did not acknowledge that I was a Hyatt
Gold Passport member, or even that I was a Diamond member.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No amenity was offered, no late check-out, or
even where breakfast was served.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although I applaud her enthusiasm, her lack of acknowledging those loyal
to Hyatt was somewhat disappointing.</div>

The Pierogi
($5.50) is stuffed with ground pork.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are large boiled dumplings, served with sour cream, and mix of
fried onions and pork with glorious amounts of fat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pierogi on their own are somewhat bland
but smothering the dumplings with the fried onion and pork mix takes it to a
whole other galaxy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not a big fan of
sour cream so I didn’t use any of that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

The
Beef Tripe Soup ($5.75) comes in a tomato based soup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The tripe was well cooked and chewy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was expecting something more along the
lines of menudo, so the lack of spice was somewhat disappointing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a good solid dish, but when expecting
something spicy the soup was somewhat of a letdown.</div>

The
Roasted Pork Loin ($15.95?) comes with a ton of side dishes, including a
pickled beet salad, a coleslaw with tangy red wine vinegar, potatoes, vegetables
(canned unfortunately), and two large slices of pork topped with a sour
cream/horseradish sauce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pork was
well cooked and fall apart tender.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
horseradish wasn’t all that spicy which was somewhat disappointing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The vegetables would have much better if they
were fresh instead of canned.<br />

The
Potato Pancake Hungarian Style ($14.95) is a large potato pancake filled with goulash,
a pork stew full of flavor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In looking
at the menu, I thought the potato pancake would be more like latkes, small
potato pancakes, instead of this monster.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The dish also comes with a pickled beet salad, coleslaw and vegetables.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
staff is very friendly and willing to explain the dishes to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The portions are huge, and a great bargain
for the price.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like most Eastern
European cuisine, the food is very hearty and will fill you up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I highly recommend coming here for food that
most people haven’t had much exposure to, as it is authentic and very good.</div>

Unlike
every other Ritz Carlton property that I have been to, there was no doorman to
greet you and open the door for arriving guests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a revolving door and two side doors

hours, which is a classy touch. </div>

The check-in
desk is to the far left.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The front desk
agent was pleasant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Upon inquiring if it
was possible to check-in that early, she informed me that there was a room
available, but it was a double room instead of the king I had requested.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since my goal was to take a quick shower
before heading to Niagara Falls I said that it would not be a problem.</div>

Rooms
were going for about $500 a night during my stay, but thanks to the Ritz
Carlton promotion last year in which two paid stays resulted in a free night at
a Tier 1-3 property, this was a great use of the two free nights I was able to
secure during the promotion.</div>

recognition of Ritz Carlton/Marriott Rewards members could use a big

check-in a half day early and the great location made up for any oversights
from the front desk.</div>

food here is the overpowering acidity of dishes, and it once again is present
here with the pickles.</div>

The “signature”
Hot Mess ($11) is a half sweet potato topped with cheese curds, chopped
brisket, crema and pickled jalapenos.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is so much going on with this dish that everything gets lost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Depending on the bite you may detect some of
each ingredient, but it doesn’t seem coherent in my opinion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The price point is also rather high for what it
is.</div>

The
Banana Toffee Cream Pie for 2 ($16) is basically a miniature version of a
banana cream pie with a layer of caramel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Although the crust is very good and buttery, there is nothing special
that separates this from any other banana cream pie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although it is a good dessert, there is
nothing to justify the price.</div>

I
wanted to try the Pit Master Platter and the Crispy Chicken Skin, unfortunately
they were out of both.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
I
would definitely come back to The Carbon Bar to explore more of the menu with
the forewarned knowledge that the food is heavily acidic.</div>

The
<a href="http://riversidedowntown.place.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html">Hyatt Place Riverside/Downtown</a> is conveniently located adjacent to the <a href="http://www.missioninn.com/">MissionInn</a>, and across the street from the <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/ralmc-marriott-riverside-at-the-convention-center/">Marriott</a>.</div>

<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
parking lot is somewhat small, but there is a security guard most of the time
and maybe more importantly overnight, as there are some homeless people
wandering the streets at all hours of the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Overnight parking is $10, but they seem to waive it for first time
guests, or maybe for Diamond members on their first stay.</div>
<br />
The
hotel is square shaped with a small courtyard area in which the pool is
located.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having a room on the street
side can be somewhat noisy, but having a room facing the courtyard can also
have its drawbacks if there are loud, screaming kids at the pool.

The
rooms have the familiar layout of all Hyatt Place hotels that I have been too
with a couple of exceptions.</div>

The
front desk is located right as you enter the hotel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The front desk agent was somewhat frazzled as
she was on the phone when I approached the front desk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She seemed unsure of how to handle being on
the phone when a guest came to the front desk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She finally asked the person on the phone to hold while she checked me
in.</div>

The
second exception to this Hyatt Place is located inside of the bathroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unlike every other Hyatt Place I have been to
there is a shower/tub combo rather than the walk-in shower with half door.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The water pressure here is excellent, almost
like being in front of a fire hydrant.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
Hyatt Place offers free wi-fi to all guests however speed seemed to vary
greatly depending on where in the hotel or room you were in.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
Hyatt Place also offers free breakfast to all guests.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are usually a couple of hot items,
along with fruit, yogurt, cereal, breads, muffins and bagels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The signature Kitchen Skillet sandwiches were
missing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In its place were powdered scrambled
eggs and sausage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Other hot options
included Cinnamon French Toast, and lumpy steel cut oatmeal.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
breakfast was somewhat disappointing given the lack of options.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wouldn’t expect an extraordinary breakfast
when it is offered free to all guests, but at least the Skillet Sandwiches add
some consistency and familiarity throughout the chain.</div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="yiv3001817221msonormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
The
overall minuses of the hotel outweigh the slightly larger room.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t see myself returning to this hotel
unless the rate was an absolute steal.</div>

Noodle Bar recently opened in the city of Buena Park.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unlike most Vietnamese Pho places, this one
is different.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A little more upscale with
some unusual menu items for a Vietnamese restaurant such as truffle fries, crab
cakes, Brussels sprouts and crème brulee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They also have Northern and Southern style pho.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before coming here, I didn’t know such a
thing existed.<br />

The
Sous Vide Egg with Pho Broth ($2.50) again is a little bit of a disappointment
since I was expecting the yolk to run out like a little river of lava.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At 142° the egg white will remain firm but
the yolk will remain runny.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obviously
their eggs are cooked at a slightly higher temperature.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although the egg is nice and velvety the lack
of a runny yolk doesn’t meet expectations.</div>

is a northern style pho, so the noodles are wider and softer than the
traditional noodles.</div>

The
kitchen sent out a complimentary sample of Thin Sliced Chuck ($4) which is
rather fatty, and therefore more flavorful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

The
kitchen also sent out a complimentary large Green Tea Crème Brulee ($5), which
is just heavenly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This version is not
too sweet, and the green tea adds just a hint of bitterness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What made it even better was that the crème brulee
was creamy rather than firm and eggy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This was so good we decided to order another large one.</div>

Although
the prices at Sup Noodle Bar are just a bit higher than normal, for the quality
of ingredients, friendliness of staff and food quality and execution, the minimally
higher prices are well worth it.</div>
