Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Aug 7, 2009 by Kevin from Novi,MI

Overall Rating: 10

• Great view of the Bay, Free Wi-FI.
• Room decor was a bit sparse. No in room fridge.

“This hotel is an older property, but has been generally been well maintained. Rooms are located in three adjacent towers, 2 of which are high rise. The jewel of the property are the bay view rooms with balconies. At check in I was upgraded to bay view from the standard city view based on my Priority Club participation. The bay view balcony made this stay a highlight of my 12 day trip.”

Overall Rating: 10

• Great hotel, great location, and excellent price!
• Nothing.

“I have never stayed in a Holiday Inn before and this was the first. The beds were very comfortable and offerred soft and hard pillows. Great resutrants on the premises. Would highly recommend this hotel when visiting downtown San Diego.”

Woodward Reservoir Regional Park
Aug 6, 2009 by dean from suisun city, ca.

Overall Rating: 9

• Well secured and patrol by police agency - GREAT sites.
• Some time the cow smell.

“A great place to take friends or/family for day use and daily camping (tent or motor home). hook up's and dry camping. If you need to shop for anything you are close to town for just about anything.”

Children's Pool Beach
Aug 4, 2009 by Grace from Phoenix

Overall Rating: 3

• Sea life in their natural habitat.
• Activists who don't want people there.

“We were very excited about going to this spot. Unfortunately, the experience was spoiled by a women yelling comments designed to get people to leave. Obviously a wacko activist, totally unfriendly and rude. Don't go.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Aug 4, 2009 by Lisa from Reno,NV

Overall Rating: 6

• the view in the room and the pillows
• the beds were not good

“Good access to down town and walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The daily parking fee was very expensive.”

Cinema 6 Theatre
Aug 2, 2009 by E from Twentynine Palms

Overall Rating: 1

• No crowds since its a not a good theater.
• Everything else.

“I went there recently and would not return. The theater smelled, and at the climax of the film with about 20 minutes left the projector malfunctioned and the staff was ill equipped to fix it. Upon request to repair and fix the film in order to view the rest of the movie 30 minutes had elapsed and when the film finally continued they had skipped 10 minutes of the movie and hence ruining the entire ending and movie. Upon request for reimbursement the manager was no where to be found and reimbursement was not an option, only a rain check to view another movie at their horrible establishment.”

Koa Kampground
Aug 1, 2009 by Linda from Orange County

Overall Rating: 8

• Beautiful campsites in the forest by the creek.
• A bit pricey.

“Nice facilities, beautiful campsites, but a bit tricky to get into for larger motorhomes. At least once you get parked the view with the surrounding trees is wonderful, lots of shade. I like the pool, small but clean and the restrooms and showers were kept spotless our entire stay. We got to bring our Cocker Spaniel - but they said 'he was just like a person' so they charged us $5 a night for him. It's ok, he's worth it. There were some great walks from the campground down to the river and our campsite overlooked a creek that was beautiful too. We were glad we made reservations early because they were very busy, I guess it's pretty popular in July. Next time we are going in June cause they said it was the best time besides September. I can't wait to go back.”

Woodward Reservoir Regional Park
Jul 25, 2009 by Crystal from Oakdale

Overall Rating: 5

• Monday through Thursday is so nice.
• Fights and people looking to cause trouble.

“During the week this is a really nice place to camp. I give it a 9 for week days and a 0 for weekends. Weekends bring trouble, fights and rude people. Avoid weekends if you can. My family went for 5 days and T-Fri were just fine. But Friday night at 10:30 is when 8 cars pulled up beside us and crowded into a tiny little area next to us. Now if you are like my family, and follow rules, there are only 8 people allowed per camp site. But not everyone follows the rules. I know it's not the staffs fault that people are stupid. But I wish the staff would enforce the rules of quiet time from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am. Our neighbors blasted their music until 4:00 am! Again avoid weekends at all cost.”

American River Raft Rentals
Jul 24, 2009 by Lilly from San Jose

Overall Rating: 1

• Fun with large group.
• Bad customer service.

“Worse customer service ever. We drove there from San Jose in a large group and the staff was inconsiderate. We were in line but late a couple of minutes before they closed the line for rentals and couldn't make any exceptions.”

Canyon Creek Resort
Jul 23, 2009 by Katherine Oriarte from American canyon

Overall Rating: 8

• Its fun exciting.
• Just be aware the toilets don't work sometimes.

“I loved winters. The thing is, my family/friends and I go there every year as our little camping trip I always do karaoke and last year 2008 I won 1st place. The 1st problem I have there is that some of the people there are snotty, rude and very noisy and the 2nd problem I have is that every year we go there there's always something wrong with the toilets, yeah I know its disgusting forever.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Jul 21, 2009 by Alofa from Concord,CA

Overall Rating: 3

• Location was great and price wasn't too bad.
• The room accommodations.

“When we arrived they accommodated us in a room that had only a sofa bed! I couldn't even believe hotels did this. The furniture was outdated but the bathroom was modern. It was a weird combination. They moved us the next day but I can't even believe that anyone would want to be in a room with a sofa bed no matter how much money you save. I will never stay here again and it is definitely not a 3 star hotel. The only 3 star about it was the location.”

Double Decker Lanes
Jul 13, 2009 by Shannon and Mike from Santa Rosa

Overall Rating: 1

• I like the fun atmosphere and the manager, was great!
• The old lady bartender is the worst I have ever seen.

“The old lady bartender, don't know if she in overworked and underpaid or what but she is definitely not a nice person and should not be dealing with the public, ever! Its good that she doesn't work every night. There is a nice man who bar tends there and another pleasant younger woman. Both of these employees seem to enjoy and know there job a lot better.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Jul 12, 2009 by Amy from Sioux City,IA

Overall Rating: 9

• Good parking.
• Rude
  male working at front desk. Very rude.

“Good hotel - nice area - good view. Would stay here again. Ended up with a handicapped room. No bathtub. Which was hard with a 18 month old child. Needed a bathtub.”

Woodward Reservoir Regional Park
Jul 11, 2009 by David from Modesto

Overall Rating: 10

• The camping was very quite.
• Nothing negative yet.

“Love to boat, not a lot of crowdedness on the lake in early morning or afternoon, want to try fishing there, never have but will this weekend camping there is peaceful, also not a lot of noise late at night can really rest and have fun.”

Woodward Reservoir Regional Park
Jul 8, 2009 by gabby from san jose

Overall Rating: 10

• The water is clean and it has plenty of room for the whole family!
• The portable bathrooms are dirty.

“This place is one of my favorites. The lake is huge. The water is clean and you can do whatever you want. Its a beautiful place for camping!”

Morro Dunes
Jul 8, 2009 by Grace from Bakersfield, CA

Overall Rating: 10

• Short walk to the beach.
• Can sometimes become crowed in the summer.

“Its nice to camp at a place with warm showers to clean off the sand. Its also nice that you wash your clothes if you are staying for a couple of days. You can hear and smell the beach at all times. Best place to stay in Moro Bay.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Jun 26, 2009 by Daniel from Bloomington,IN

Overall Rating: 10

• Great location for site seeing and public transportation.
• No hot tub by the pool.

“Good hotel, great location.”

Scripps Memorial Hospital & Medical Research Center
Jun 18, 2009 by Mary from South Holland IL

Overall Rating: 1

• The outcome was fine, as were the Managing Directors.
• Just about everything else.

“Scripps Mercy Hospital, Hillcrest district in San Diego is the worst. You would do well to rid yourself of this abomination. The ER is filthy, street people are sleeping on gurneys, the washrooms are filthy, I encountered several instances of nursing care that bordered on the illegal, and no one seems to give a hoot. By a ER tech to my daughter: We don't allow people to stay overnight in the ER. Your mother can call you when her procedure is finished and you can come and pick her up. Never mind that I am not from San Diego and am there on vacation (some vacation, to encounter this lovely institution!) I have never, in my 68 years, been to such a charade of a hospital.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Jun 9, 2009 by Brittini from Lemoore,CA

Overall Rating: 10

• I liked the friendly environment which
  I experience as soon as
  I walked up to the hotel.

“I loved my stay. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! I seemed like a 4 star hotel not a 3 star!”

Brunswick Upland Lanes
Jun 7, 2009 by Amanda from Ontario ca

Overall Rating: 2

• Knowing the manager would be off soon.

“I took my little girl bowling on a Saturday night. We were put on a waiting list by the manager, and then she call other and tells her that if she wanted to bowl to come on down and she would put her at the top of the list, excuse me? People are waiting actually paying customers.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Jun 4, 2009 by Daniella from Orange,CA

Overall Rating: 7

• The hotel was in a really great location, so I would recommend for that reason.
• We assumed that we would have one king bed or 2 queen, but we got 2 small beds so we couldn't even sleep together, and I mean small.

“The hotel itself is very nice and in a great location, but as far as booking through Priceline they need to make sure that they book automatically for a king bed or 2 queen beds, because it was ridiculous and the beds were not comfortable at all and my husband is disabled from a fall, so his back was in so much pain that we couldn't do anything, because he had such a hard time sleeping, and we couldn't change rooms, because there was nothing available, the hotel was completely booked. Like I said location and staff really great, but the beds, not great.”

• Everything else.
• Flies.

“I have camped here since I was a little girl and at times we even came up for just the day to play in the lake. I am excited because we are planning another camping trip so that I can now take my kids. Woodward is the best.”

Woodward Reservoir Regional Park
May 16, 2009 by Julie from Riverbank

Overall Rating: 10

• Its close to home.
• I don't like how on the holidays is so packed.

“I have been coming to this place ever since I was a little girl. We would have so much fun, we would bring our boat and jet skis and BBQ. They also had showers and bathrooms that are walking distance. To this day I still go to this place with my family and friends.”

Long Beach Memorial Medical Center
May 11, 2009 by bryan C from long beach

Overall Rating: 1

• Nothing.
• The worst run hospital in New York.

“The worst run hospital in New York and the staff was horrible and was not knowledgeable.”

Jalama Beach Park
Apr 30, 2009 by Gina from Torrance, CA

Overall Rating: 5

• Beautiful beach.
• Extremely windy and lack of privacy for tent campers.

“Great beach but the tent camping was not comfortable. The spots were too close together and defeat the purpose of wanting to get away from it all when your camping neighbor was about 10 feet away. The biggest problem was the wind - it was much worse than we thought and made it impossible to enjoy the bonfire that we enjoy.”

Rancho Bowl
Apr 30, 2009 by Kegler from Santa Maria

Overall Rating: 7

• Excellent staff.
• Equipment upgrade needed.

“Nice large center and helpful staff. Good restaurant.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Apr 21, 2009 by Robert from Whittier,CA

Overall Rating: 8

• The view was great
• The parking $22 a day is very bad. And the proximity to necessity.

“Great hotel, Bay view was spectacular. The $22/ day parking fee is ridiculous and mandatory as there is no other parking for a long distance. The rooms are beginning to look outdated. The staff is nice and I had a great time.”

McClellan-Palomar Airport
Apr 14, 2009 by Elbie from Oceanside

Overall Rating: 10

• Local.
• Dirty parking while under construction.

“McClellan-Palomar Airport was very convenient for locals and non locals alike. The airport was growing right now and flights were mostly on time, the service was great.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Apr 1, 2009 by J from Denver,CO

Overall Rating: 9

• It was right on the bay with a fantastic sea food restaurant right across the street.
• At night trains at the nearby train station would blow their horns - waking me up every now and then.

“The hotel a nice mid-century modern complex with a great view of the Bay on one side and a view of the city on the other. Room service was prompt and convenient.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Mar 21, 2009 by Laura from Las Vegas,NV

Overall Rating: 8

• Beautiful rooms, excellent location, amazing views of the harbor!
• Only showers, no bath tubs.

“This room was wonderful, it was beautifully done and the bath room felt like a spa experience. The location and view from the hotel were amazing. We were in a safe neighborhood within walking distance of great restaurants and nightlife. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.”

Kelly'S Beach
Mar 18, 2009 by Tallulah from Riverside

Overall Rating: 4

• Location and setting.
• Disgusting mens toilet and shower area.

“The men's toilet and shower area is disgusting! I have traveled to Kelly's Beach for 7 years with a large group of friends. And every single year I must deal with the smelliest, dirtiest place I've had to visit. This space should be the number one priority of the campground, and for whatever reason (but ignorance) has it always disappointed me. How hard is it to maintain a bathroom? Some paint, bleach, and a garden hose should do the trick, but they don't get it.”

HolyLand Exhibition
Mar 18, 2009 by Bob from Los Angeles

Overall Rating: 10

• Everything was great!
• Not one thing I disliked or found objectionable!

“The Holyland Exhibition is a wonderful place for anyone who might be interested in the Bible history and lands. The tours are incredibly informative and are given from a neutral perspective! it is not supported by any religious organizations whatsoever!”

Silent Valley Club Inc
Mar 16, 2009 by Andi from Riverside

Overall Rating: 10

• Easy to get to; lots to do; safe for the children; and everyone treats each other like family.
• I don't like that you can't have a campfire, but this is minor compared to the positives.

“I have never had anything but great experiences with the staff. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. This is a well staffed and well maintained campground with so much to do. Although this is a campground and not a hospital, they still try to be prepared to assist everyone from the children with bee stings to the elderly patrons with life threatening issues. They have someone available 24/7 at the ranger/first aid station in case of an emergency which is a lot more than many campgrounds out there. (Of course they watch TV, but not because they are neglecting their duty - anyone stuck in a little building for hours on end would do the same.) In addition to that, other Rangers are constantly making rounds. It's like a mountaintop paradise with little more than a city drive. It's definitely worth a look!”

“Waste of resources.”

Queen Mary
Mar 3, 2009 by Jerry from Greentown, Indiana

Overall Rating: 9

• Loved the history, romantic views, and away from LA - accommodations
• Customer service could be improved, though not bad.

“I have stayed on the Queen Mary six times. It is my favorite hotels and attractions in California. I love its history. I feel as though I have gone back in time when aboard. Low season rooms are reasonable, high season they are pricey. It is great for history, romance, and the views from restaurants.”

Jewel City Bowl
Feb 23, 2009 by Jennifer from New York

Overall Rating: 10

• Fun for the whole family! Young, old, or in between!
• Everything was perfect! No negative feedback necessary!

“My family and I decided to have a fun family outing while visiting my parents in Glendale, CA, so we decided to go to Jewel City Bowl. We had the most fabulous time! My father, who is 74 years old, was bowling his heart out and so was my 6 year old son! We laughed a lot, took pictures and I was surprised at how delicious the food was! It was less expensive for us to have fun bowling & eating, rather than just going out for dinner. Plus it was so much more fun. I have been to many bowling centers around the country and this one is phenomenal!”

Gull Wings Children'S Museum
Feb 12, 2009 by John from Simi Valley

Overall Rating: 9

• A lot of fun for kids, especially small ones. A variety of exhibits & play areas.
• A little small, can be hard to spot, but much bigger on the inside than it appears from the front.

“This is a fun little museum - a great outing for kids, especially the little ones. They have a touch tank with live ocean animals, and a lot of fun, hands-on activities and exhibits for kids to explore and play on/with. It is very cheap, and the staff is really friendly. We went on a day when they were offering a craft activity, and my son really enjoyed it. I recommend this as a good family outing!”

The New Danville Bowl
Feb 9, 2009 by Dolores from Walnut Creek, CA

Overall Rating: 1

• Nothing - would not return.
• Bad customer service - unfair in determining the waiting list. We arrived before others and then watch them served before us.

“Poor customer service - totally lacking in providing clear waiting list information accuracy. Kept giving untrue information as to the estimated waiting time, putting us off over and over again until after over 2 hours of waiting - and witnessing others who originally arrived after us - given the opportunity to bowl. We had requested only one alley. When we arrived - was not offered the opportunity to sign in and subsequently put at the end of the list. Well behind others who arrived well after us. When we should have been before them. We finally just left without bowling in disgust and determined never to return even if offered free games. A wasted Sunday afternoon for us and our two.”

Lake Lost Resort
Feb 5, 2009 by Bob Martin

Overall Rating: 10

• Everyone was very kind and the water was perfect.
• There was two out of the seven days the water was to low to go boating but we went swimming still.

“We went for 3 weeks and it was the best month of my life!”

Mountasia Family Fun Center
Jan 16, 2009 by Mike from Santa Clarita

Overall Rating: 10

• Good staff & food.
• When it rains.

“I have been going to Mountasia in Santa Clarita since it opened. I remember when they had a small McDonald's in it. I have 4 kids, spread out in ages and we have never had any problems or experiences like what I read. Are you all sure we went to the same place? There are other Mountasia's in other states. This one I know is independent and not part of a chain. The staff, they have, is great. Most are teens but they have always been wonderful to me and my kids. Even when my daughter got a bee sting, they really took care of her. The Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor they have is like the old Farrell's I use to go to in the valley. The food is great, better than Red Robin and cheaper. The ice cream is the BEST! We usually go there once a month for a couple hours, eat, play, pick up a few prizes and leave feeling pretty good. It's a fun place. As far as their security, I know they are off duty police (or maybe Sheriff) but again, they have always seemed very professional. I watched them eject a kid from the go karts and they were pretty calm. I think it's a very safe place and have dropped off my kids numerous times with their friends and never worry about them as I know the security team is good. Overall, Mountasia is a great place and they do a lot for our community which is more than I can say for most other businesses.”

Rivernook Campground Inc
Jan 12, 2009 by Jim from Lakewood

Overall Rating: 1

• Big campground good fishing.
• Dirty.

“My family has camped here over 40 years and it use to be 5 star, one of my favorite campgrounds. Now under new ownership the place has turned into a dump. The workers are idiots, they raise the rates every year, the bathrooms are always dirty now and showers only work half the time. The grounds are not kept up like they use to be.”

Silent Valley Club Inc
Jan 11, 2009 by George from Long Beach California

Overall Rating: 2

• Looks nice but.
• Poor on-site staff, ranger manager can be found in the back room of the ranger station watching TV.

“It's horrible how the guard manager and office manager are so mean there. My father died at Silent Valley, he had a heart attack in his camp ground spot and at the time the Ranger station had no medical nurse on duty to help him. Sadly, he died at his camp. I'll make sure to never stay there! Besides the rangers drive around in loud sounding old beat-up trucks, unfriendly and harass the campers. Meantime when you need to speak to a ranger you'll find them in the ranger guard in the back room watching TV, they really should remove the TV! Again, I'll make sure to never stay there, thanks!”
