LikeAHotel Apartment – 270 Queen Street, Montreal, QC, Canada

Apartment Vintage, MontrealWe had just one night in Montreal and booked this apartment based on location and value for money.

LikeAHotel offers apartments and holiday rentals in Montreal – all bookable via booking.com.

We chose to stay in an apartment on Queen Street, Montreal, a short walk to Old Montreal.

To check in we had to phone LikeAHotel 45 minutes before arriving to get the code to enter the building. Once in the building we used a computer screen on the wall in the landing to contact LikeAHotel staff to talk us through getting into our apartment (another code for the key holder), show our ID, etc.

Burlington Air BnB (Vermont, USA) – Blue Building with Neighborhood Character

We found our accommodation in Burlington on Air BnB – it is described as Blue Building with Neighborhood Character.

During a trip to see the Fall colours of Vermont in the USA, we decided to visit Burlington and made this booking the day before our visit – we were the first guests to stay in this accommodation.

We chose the property because of its location and value for money.

On arrival we collected our key by entering a code into a key box at the property. The apartment was on the first floor of a quaint timber building (painted blue) – there are steep stairs to climb to reach the apartment.

Stowe Motel & Snowdrift, Vermont, USA

It was very difficult to find reasonably priced accommodation in Stowe on the Columbus Day holiday (Monday, 10 October 2016) however we came across Stowe Motel & Snowdrift – very good value for money.

We booked a 2-Bedroom Fireplace Suite – Room 302. The suite was self contained and very comfortable. We were able to park right outside our suite, so very easy to carry luggage in.

Vacation Village in the Berkshires, Hancock, MA, USA

Reception Lounge, Vacation Village in the BerkshiresVacation Village in the Berkshires is resort-style accommodation – made up of about 20 attractive New England-style timber buildings. Each building has a number of apartments available for guests.

We are visiting in the Fall and the location is very beautiful – we feel miles from the nearest town, there are views of the surrounding countryside and the air smells pure and fresh.

Reception is housed in the main building, which is reached via a large circular driveway. We arrive quite late however there are number of staff on reception to check us in, and they are helpful with information on what to see and do in the area, where to eat, etc.

Holiday Inn Express New York JFK Airport Area

There are many hotels in the immediate vicinity of JFK Airport. We chose Holiday Inn Express based on ratings and value for money.

We had a one-night stay – on the evening of our arrival after a flight from Sydney to New York (via Los Angeles). On arrival at JFK Airport we took the free Air Train to Federation Circle Station where we took a shuttle bus to the hotel.

After a friendly and easy check in at Reception, we proceeded to Room #315 on the third floor, just opposite the elevator. The room was very clean with very comfortable king size bed (we found the pillows to be quite luxurious).

We treated ourselves, after nearly four weeks of camping, to three nights at Cable Beach Club Resort & Spa – and loved it!

The room was lovely – spacious, nicely furnished with a luxurious feel.
