<![CDATA[You know the scene. You open the door to your brand new hotel room, run over to the window, open the blinds and bam, you are hit with the anti-view. Maybe you are looking down a dirty alley, witnessing a drug deal, staring at an air shaft in the face, or seeing a brick wall. Whatever you are viewing it is not extremely pleasurable.

The <a href="http://www.101hotel.is/">101 Hotel</a> also includes the <a href="http://www.101hotel.is/101hotel/101hotel/restaurant">101 Bar and Restaurant</a>, and the same owners are responsible for the nearby <a href="http://www.101hotel.is/101hotel/101gallery">101 Gallery</a>.

Here is a quick refresher: We watch Amazing Race, and let you know the dirt on the hotels the contestants are staying in, or properties that are involved in the show. At the request of our readers, if no hotels are featured during an episode, we take a look at hotels surrounding that weeks pit stop. Really, this isn't as complicated as it sounds. First a comment on the overall race cast. While it
