The Greatest Garden Inn by Hilton,

A SECRET THAT I WOULD PREFER TO BE KEPT SECRET FOR FEAR OF BEING OVERRUN!

This is the most adorable Hilton Garden Inn Katy West TX
BUT SHH! DON’T TELL EVERYONE.

I love this hotel, it is not like a hotel it is like HOME FROM HOME.

Everyone from Housekeeping to the manager Kim is fantastic, AND nothing here is too much trouble
THE BEDROOMS ARE DELIGHTFUL AND THE COMMUNAL AREAS MOST COMFORTABLE Has a Bar with excellent service

A Great made from scratch Breakfast no powdered Scrambled Eggs! FRESH!

THE Pool is A PERFECT temperature WITH AREAS OF SHADE AND SUN.

THIS IS MY HOTEL OF CHOICE every time I am in Katy.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY Thank You to Ryan who is just the sweetest boy on the desk – always greeting ME with a smile and NOTHING IS TOO MUCH TROUBLE

Hotel is spotless so clean

I am going to be in Katy every 6 weeks and would not stay at any other Hotel Love Love Love This Hotel x x

Brilliant Bar THE BAR

It is really wonderful how much resilience there is in human nature. Let any obstructing cause, no matter what, be removed in any way, even by death, and we fly back to first principles of hope and enjoyment …..

..Wow – what a day Midland Broke all temperature records at 126f = 52.2222 It was so hot – I just stepped out of the Bath! and the Power in the Hotel went – I was stuck! ……….10th-floor Naked! with NO A/C ……….Managed to get dressed in the dark – called down to reception to ask what to do …………..Walk down 10 flights of stairs Mam!!

Jewelled Jamie’s

Jamie’s Restaurant…………………..
There are over 6,000 Restaurants in the Fylde Coast so one does have a lot of choice. I have eaten at quite a few but there is not one in Blackpool as great as Jamie’s.
I have tried Nigel Haworth, Paul Heathcotes, Jason Atherton, Ramsey’s, Corrigan’s Marco’s and most of Lytham and St Annes
Now………………………………. I can actually say, hand on heart, that I have found a true hidden gem

My word…………………..
This restaurant is not just exceedingly good, it is sensational. From greeting to leaving it was perfection – not stuffy or cold, everyone was warm and genuinely friendly. Dan was suburb *********
Friendly, warm welcome and from the start I knew it was going to be delicious just by the ambience and looking at other plates! But it was simply sensational.
When I tasted the food I was so surprised. Power packed flavours and great presentation.
Service begins with stilton bonbons, so yummy I dream about them.

To start we ordered a sharing platter for two. There were 4 of us and we did not manage to finish it but carried on ordering. Simply beautiful.
For Main – Tapas. Pork loin and blackpudding skewers, sea bass, squid, teriyaki beef and prawns. Everything divine, cooked to perfection with so many flavours
OH MY- The whole experience was simply perfection.
I shall return. I want to eat everything so the tasting menu sounds perfect. Jamie’s is my new favourite restaurant. Thank you to all who made our visit so very special.

History of The W .L. Foley Building

The second building on the block designed by prolific Texas courthouse architect Eugene T. Heiner, the venue features two stories of wood, brick and mirrored walls that light up with vibrant colours at night. While built in 1889, much of the modern updates are accredited to former owner Lee Benner

Amazing Food

This is the best little find in Downtown Houston

Well there is not too much I can say about Midland – except for the People are so lovely friendly and kind

It is not the food capital of the World

BUT

One little place that I can now say is my favourite in Midland Texas

Cancun Mexican Grill

Steaks Pork chop shrimp just everything

On a bustling Saturday night with no reservation – we walked to the restaurant

From entering, we were greeted warmly seated on the last table but a great one – just made very welcome

Instantly served drinks corn chips and dips.

The server came back for the food order – I could not decide so much choice – advice on the whole menu gratefully received

The food came in perfect timing to order a second drink.

Hot fresh and absolutely delicious cooked to perfection

I cannot rate this restaurant highly enough.

It is so good I am eating there the next FOUR Nights until we depart from Midland Texas to Houston.

RUDE

I was recommended to visit the restaurant for a great steak

On a very busy Saturday night I was willing to wait for a table- I thought even wait 40 minutes would be worth it –

Walked in the door

I stood and stood Not ONE PERSON NOT ONE!!! came over – I watched as the Bartender was even drinking his own beer behind the bar

No one would make eye contact not even the Bartender who knew we were waiting

After 15 MINUTES of not one person even saying HELLO or I will get to you I walked out

Very Disappointed but this is no way to be treated!

I have dined in a lot of restaurants around the world but never have I encountered such RUDE service – Not even in Third World counties –
