There are so many hotels in London, selecting one could be an overwhelming experience. Our choice was the combination of; a central location, and a Hilton property, because we could use Hilton’s loyalty benefit of staying five nights and using the point cost of four nights. Without needing an indoor pool, and wanting to be close to an underground station, I selected the Conrad London St. James.
Our hotel for our five night stay in Edinburgh was the Bruntsfield Hotel. Just a short bus ride from Royal mile, it was a great choice in hotel for our stay that was close to central Edinburgh, but being just a short bus ride away. Excellent food, decent sized room, it’s an excellent option when visiting Edinburgh.
Why didn’t we stay with relatives when we visited them? Simple, a lack of space (not everybody has spare rooms waiting for visitors), and they had a young one who was dictating their hours and lack of sleep. We gladly gave them space and I chose a straight-forward hotel for our stay, a Hampton Inn in San Jose.
Little Miss had relatives who moved out to the Bay area. Not missing a chance (or excuse?) to explore a new spot in the USA, we were happy to spend an extra long weekend to fly out to the area. Now due to their young one, and only being in the area for a few days we didn’t cover everything in the area. But we did enjoy our time visiting with them and what we got to see.
We returned to the same hotel that we stayed for one night back in December 2022, this time Little Miss wasn’t under the weather so we were both able to enjoy the hotel.
