Reviews:

Once inn a while we review the places we have visited or stayed to warn people to stay away from the bad and to patronize the good.

Jess' Market: Sells seafood and stuff, especially lobster. Outside of buying the little bottom feeders (lobsters) off a boat Jess' is the cheapest place in town to go. The folks there are rally nice and willing to answer any dumb question I asked. They will even steam or boil your clams, muscles, lobsters, etc.

Maine: This state is really filled with nice people. The only rude people I've gcome across are people from other states. People let you pull in when driving. People use manners when dealing with you one on one. "Excuse me", "Thank you", "Please" are still in style here. On top of that Maine is beautiful.

Navigator Inn: Great view for the most part. It's across from the harbor so the sea view isn't perfect but it is nice. The desk people are very nice. My family likes their comp b-fast, but it's not for my taste. Still I give them high marks there because I have a sensitive pallet and shouldn't be used to judge common food, since most common food is meaningless expect for nutrition. The boys say their bagels here are great. The rooms look like they have been renovated since last time we were here. Still it is an old hotel and not all doors and floors and even and plumb. The maid service is some of the worst we have had on the trip. First night: I pull back the sheets to find pubic hairs and specs of other stuff (dust, lint, buggers, I don't know.....but it was sick). The night man happily gave me new sheets and apologized. We have been using our own soap and shampoo since they have not been replaced since our first night. (Maid taking revenge????) One of our beds has a major sag in the middle like a large person slept there a long time. Otherwise the place is great. Quiet rooms in spite of a lot of construction workers staying here and there being a lounge downstairs.

Holiday Inn Express, Bradley Airport, Hartford , CT: Like all HI EX it was a nice hotel. Comfortable beds, nice layout and nice staff. The b-fast was a little scanter than most HI EXs but was very good. The hall carpets looked like they needed a shampooing but that might have been the design or color...not the best choice if that is the case. Quiet rooms.

Holiday Inn Coco Keys Resort, Waterbury, CT: It's an Holiday Inn so no free b-fasts unless you are a Rewards member. I am but since the rooms were a contract deal with our client it didn't apply. Very pretty lobby and general interior. Tight parking spots but there is space for large vehicles farther back in the parking lot. Mostly quiet rooms. But remember it is a a family water resort so there are lots of kids noises in the halls at all hours. There was even a 6 am vacuuming in the hall one morning. Woke up Titus, which woke us all up.

Ninos Pizza, Watebury, CT: 5 star on the pizza 1-5 chart. Their Ricotta Pizaa is to die for.

Mendano's Pizza, Naugatuck, CT: 10 stars on the pizza 1-5 chart. What more can be said. This pizza place will be in heaven.
