Rock on, Rockstar

But not the room trashing kind of rockstar. (Thanks for specifying.)

"The … is a genuinely beautiful place to stay. Perfectly maintained with as good a setting as you can imagine. I felt lke a rock-star having breakfast on the terrace in the morning (A critically acclaimed rock-star I might add. With a supermodel wife and a charitable foundation helping kids in Soweto and Lesotho. My early years would have been the usual orgy of drugs, alcohol and groupies but these days I'd have cleaned up my act and would be considered both a pillar of the musical establishment and highly influential. A sort of cross between Bowie, Springsteen and Johnny Marr)."

Went to Boston to see a girl. Liked it so much, married her and moved there.

Could you take photos next time? We’d love to see the view.

Title: Amazing food

This is actually not a review of Jupiter, Florida -- it's a review of planet Jupiter, which for some reason wasn't listed as a possible subject of review. Anyway, if you're going to visit any of the planets, Jupiter is the place to see. Amazing food. Amazing friends. And much better reality TV shows than we have here in the states.

“If you are the nice french man who spoke to me as leaving the hotel at 7am on 22 Oct 07, and again at the airport before you boarded the 8.50 flight to Paris (Orly) I came after you to exchange email addresses but I was too late!!” (view original)

Isn't this a GOOD change?

From a review (here's the original):

Outside kiddie pool-- kids love it BUT only 1 life gaurd on duty and he did very little. They changed hot tub rules to 16 and over (Used to be for everyone) Now all Lguards do is police that area instead of drowning kids.

Thanks to Sailorgirl45 for sending this to us!

Bathroom celing was leaking massive urine

by MadamZCalifornia

I give his hotel ZERO stars. Since it doesnt allow me to rate it at ZERO, i choose 1 star. We stayed there for NYE and had a standard room. The room smelled horrible. We were gagging. It smelled like sour milk and feet mixed. We walked to ABC store and Walgreens down the street to get three bottles of air freshner. The lady who worked at ABC said a lot of people who stayed at the Plaza come here to buy air fresheners! I used about half a bottle and thought it would do it. But no.....Everytime we came back to the room the nasty smell came back. We had to hold our breath and spray the room everytime we got back to our room. At night, the toilet and sink made horrible noises. They were definitely having some faucet problems. The next day, I got lightly shocked by turning on the bathroom light. There was sparks. I left the light on. Moments later, the bathroom ceiling was leaking with water. The bathroom light was filled with water and the light was blinking. It was scary because I didnt know what would happen..it felt so dangerous with the water and electricity. I didnt DARE try to turn the light off. We stayed away. Well at first we thought it was water. Keep on reading. It was practically raining and it got worse and worse. We called the front desk and it took them a long time to send someone up. The entire bathroom floor was flooded with about 1" of "water" and spreaded toward the carpet. Then the water started to turn YELLOW and it smelled like URINE. We had clothes in the bathroom so all our clothes smelled like urine!!!! It was disgusting. We had to move the chairs from the room and climbed on them because we didnt want to step on the urine get our stuff in the bathroom. The entire toilet was flooded with yellow/brownish water. We were traumatized. It was totally disgusting and we were afraid we would get sick! While we were still waiting, the ceiling where the air conditioner was started to leak as well. We were FREAKED OUT. We couldnt leave the room because we had our belongings. We kept calling the Front desk and they kept putting us on hold. We demanded to get comped and upgraded to another room. The lady said there werent any rooms available and offered to give us a refund for the second night. We were furious because it was NYE and all hotels were booked. We had nowhere to go. So we went downstairs and complained to the Manager. The Manager then said they would give us an upgraded room and comp us for the 2nd night. We were pissed because the lady said there werent any rooms earlier. They were so dishonest with us. We actually wanted to get comped for both nights but they were so difficult to deal with we just decided to stick with what they offered. It was a horrible experience. We felt that they should have at least comped us for our entire stay. Thank god the upgraded room had no smells and no leakage. But we will never stay there again. PS. the 7.77 buffet was horrible. We had major stomach aches and diaherrea after eating there.. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

"Open concept bathroom" = "Too cheap to build a real one"

From a review:

When they mentioned open concept bathroom..it means that the toilet in the room is exposed...juz a sliding partition to close it up...but the partition cant even be locked...so one can only imagined the horrible smell i have to endure when my husband has to attend to nature's call...NO 2.....

Dear Santa, please bring this user a thesaurus

A review:

My girlfriend and I just returned home from our stay at the F---- Inn today. We only stayed one night and it was in the Sweeney room which is said to be haunted. I am quite a skeptic in this department but my girlfriend is quite a believer.

We arrived at 4pm and checked in. The staff was very nice and led us to our room. The room was clean and i was rather pleased after hearing some bad reviews from previous guests on this site. I cant really say anything negative about this place. If your used to staying at 5 star resort hotels then this may not be up your alley. The house is old as are the rooms but that is the whole charm.

When we entered the room we felt no presence or anything weird at all. There was a deck of UNO cards on one of the shelves that we took out and removed 3 cards.We laid them on the bed and then went out for dinner. When we came back the cards were there untouched along with some change that i left on the chair. We left again for the ghost tours. We returned around 10:30 but still the cards were untouched. We gave up on the idea and put the 3 cards back in the deck and put the deck on the dresser. We got a few things togethor and brushed our teeth and when we came back in the room there was 1 uno card on the floor and it was not one of the three cards we took out. Still a skeptic i figured we must have dropped it and not seen it fall or something. I still dont know. We then left for the local bars.

We returned around 2 am and everything was quiet. When we walked in the room my girlfriend felt a difference in the "air" of the room. I had consumed a decent amount of beer by now and laughed if off. Suddenly my legs got all goosebumpyish and very chilly. The strange part was that it was only on my legs.I do a lot of outdoor activity in the fall and winter and i assure you that my legs dont get chilly often and even less often in a 74 degree room. I kinda laughed that off too. We took a few pictures with our digital camera and there was a couple of orbs in some but i'm told thats just dust particles so i'm still no believer.

Here is where it gets weird- When we went on our ghost tour i brought my digital camcorder that i've owned for 4 years and i put a brand new tape in it. We then filmed about 8 minutes worth of the ghost tour. When we were finished I stopped in the room and plugged it in to the wall to charge since it had only 1/4 battery life left. When we came back after the bars my girlfiend unplugged it and pressed the record button.She verified that it said "rec" then aimed it at the bed and we both laid down. It was easy for me to fall asleep (alchohol helps) but my girlfriend kept feeling creepy. I stayed up just long enogh for her to fall asleep then i started to doze off when she woke up and asked me if i tapped her lol.This was shortly after i stirred a bit to get comfortable and i suggested that maybe she felt that, but she is quite sure that it was a tap.No big deal- we both fell asleep and woke up the next day. My girlfriend had some very strange dreams about blood coming from underneath a door in the house and i woke up once to use the bathroom and to turn the air on again becuse i was roasting but thats it.

We turned the camcorder on and had to rewind the tape because it recorded until the end. There was also only a 1/4 of battery left because it was on for an hour and a half recording but when we rewound the tape and played it, nothing was on it! The entire tape was blank.Even the 8 minutes or so on the ghost tour was gone. Now i assure you that i am not one of those people who stretch the truth but honest to god it was blank. I figured my girlfriend did something wrong so i tried recording a minute or so in the room but when i played it back it didnt record anything so i tried it again and still nothing. My theory is that the tape i put in must have had a defect in it and it was just a bad tape.

We checked out and when we got in my truck i tried to play the first few minutes of the tape again to see if once we left the "area" it would work again- but it was still blank. I got home and waited to bring the luggage in until a few hours ago. When i took the camcorder out i tried filming my son one more time just for fun. I did about 40 seconds worth, rewound it and pressed playback and it worked fine. After the 40 seconds of my son it jumped to our ghost tour and after that, Nothing.

For some reason my camcorder would not record anything in that room. I cant tell you why. Ive had this camcorder for 4 years and i know how to work it with my eyes closed but it would not record anything in the F----- Inn. It works fine now. My girlfriend thought i repalced the bad tape to mess with her but when she saw the footage of the ghost tour she knew i didnt. The only other possible weird things to happen was our blowdryer stopped working at the Inn but that was permanent. The other thing was that my clock at home stopped working as soon as i played the tape again in my kitchen- probably a bad battery.
I can find an explanation for everything except for the camcorder- that blows my mind! I still need more evidence then that to make me a full time believer but I think it was one of the cooler things that could have ever happened to me as far as ghost stuff goes. I will be back at the F----- and this time i will not pass out. Who knows if anything else happened- I would have slept through someone yelling in my ear that night much less a ghostly whisper.
