Renaissance Yu Garden Shanghai Hotel Review

Courtyard Marriott Hong Kong Hotel Review is part of the TPOL Down Under Trip Report. Getting There: Take the airport express train service. To get back, take the bus provided you get on the right bus (see Hong...

The hotel is located right in the heart of the city center, in the midst of a million monuments (see Statues Skopje: Why So Many?) and right across the bridge from the Old Bazaar. If you're in Skopje for one day as I was, it is the ideal place to stay.

Let's start with the basics: is this hotel worth $700 a night? No. Indeed, it isn't bold statement to say that any Fairfield anywhere in the world is worth $700 a night.

Stumbling back to the Protea Franschhoek after a day of perhaps too much wine and too much dine, I reflected on how great life was.

The hotel costs 5,000 more points, but the rooms are nicer and the location gives travelers an opportunity to experience more than the Waterfront.

Protea is to points as the rand is to dollar. The value is exceptional. I booked two separate stays at Protea Cape Town Breakwater and here's what I found: 

An Instagram follower (of which I have inexplicably so few ) asked if my trip was sponsored by Protea.
