 Drury Inns is our hotel chain of the year.

 Our independent hotel is much harder to choose. We stayed at 2 magnificent hotels this year. Both had great, accessible rooms...bookable online, beautiful facilities, outstanding dining as well as drinking, practiced locations, as well as top notch staff members.

It is only impossible to direct betwixt the 2 as well as then this yr nosotros receive got co-winners. First, The Ambassador Hotel inward Milwaukee is an fine art deco masterpiece at Marquette University. The large, accessible room featured a big, real comfortable manly individual monarch size bed amongst a queen size sofabed. Large bathroom, lobby equipped amongst moisture bar as well as fridge, large apartment hide TV, practiced wifi, amongst large windows as well as corking views. The alone knocks I receive got are the manually operated, historic rear doors (tough on those amongst weak manus strength) as well as a shuttle that would receive got yous anywhere, anytime, but non wheelchair accessible.

The instant co-winner is the fantastically beautiful Mission Inn inward Riverside, California. The name's appropriate at this circa 1870 hotel because it looks similar a huge mission, perhaps to a greater extent than similar a castle. There are hidden passageways, nook, crannies, deep circular rotundas, fountained courtyards, as well as rooms every bit large every bit a pocket-sized house.

 Our junior suite had 2 split rooms amongst a manly individual monarch size bed as well as large sofabed, 2 apartment hide tvs, a walk-in closet, robes, as well as a semi individual patio.Several restaurants as well as watering holes are on the premises, along amongst an award-winning cupcake bakery. Spa as well as a large puddle amongst handicapped lift.

 It's non inexpensive but it is worth every penny.

 While you're here, yous should receive got a hold off at our Year inward Review - 2012.
