They will constantly bring up price differences between New York and their hometown, so the hotel has to be running a deal.<br>&#183; 2. Walking more than four blocks is considered extraneous exercise; the hotel needs to be next to or on top of a subway station.<br>&#183; 3. If you don't take them to visit the World Trade Center site, you will be disowned.<p> More than fulfilling all three criteria, the Financial District's <b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Millenium+Hilton/ian/128996">Millenium Hilton</a></b> proved just right to satiate temperamental Midwesterners, especially since it boasts an indoor swimming pool. <p> JetSetCD 2008-10-10T15:35:41-05:00 Munich: The Leonardo Hotel in Munich Has Nice Rooms But You Can Do Better http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/10/8/125323/375

You already know that we shacked up at the Leonardo Hotel in Munich and you already know that the hotel has a totally craptastic WiFi network. But today, we regal you with more stories of what it's like to stay inside this hotel.

Our story today involves strange comforters, oddly-named handwash, youth hostels, traditional Bavarian gear and vomit. Hey, it was Oktoberfest afterall.]]> juliana 2008-10-08T15:16:39-05:00 Las Vegas: Hotel Video Tours:: The Monte Carlo in Las Vegas http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/22/162027/021

We hit up Las Vegas over the weekend and shacked up at the Monte Carlo Hotel. The hotel has recovered nicely from a dangerous fire earlier this year and we shot a video of room 20-108 to show you what it's like.

However, this is in no way a modern hotel room on the strip. Judging by the room decor, we are having a hard time believing this hotel only opened 12 years ago. Also, beware of seriously fugly room carpeting.

Enjoy the video today and we'll bring a you full review tomorrow.]]> abigailmschilling 2008-09-22T17:30:32-05:00 Atlantic City: Trying to Find Harrahs AC?

Their last final touch was a huge video wall putting the ones that are already seen on Trump and Caesars to shame. Harrah's encompasses all 44 stories of the tower on all four sides. <p> We're not talking lights that change color every minute giving the hotel a nice glow in the evening or moving light squares like what you see on AndrewC 2008-09-16T12:30:07-05:00 Atlantic City: Inside the Chelsea Atlantic City's Dining and Nightlife Scene http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/9/15/132654/560

Teplitzky's General Manager, Michael Goins describing The Chelsea's Dining Options

Normally when we do a hotel review, our thoughts about the restaurant and nightlife is combined into the main review - but for The Chelsea in Atlantic City which has not one, but two Stephen Starr dining spots, and a nightlife spot hosted by Paul Sevigny and Matthew Abramcyk it deserves its own post.
