APARTHOTEL ADAGIO ACCESS GENT CENTRUM DAMPOORT

MODERN LODGING WITH TRANSIT ACCESS TO ALL OF BELGIUM


The nights at Aparthotel Adagio Access Gent Centrum Dampoort were quiet, the bed was comfy, the bathroom was luxurious and the shower had lots of warm water.

A beer on the waterfront patio from the Hotel’s Eat In restaurant was great and one day I fueled up on the breakfast buffet.

It is a 10 minute walk to restaurants and shops and only a 20 minute walk to the center of lively and historic Gent.

APARTHOTEL ADAGIO ACCESS GENT CENTRUM DAMPOORT

MODERN LODGING WITH TRANSIT ACCESS TO ALL OF BELGIUM


Aparthotel Adagio Access Gent Centrum Dampoort is a fabulous property.

It is well managed – I asked for extra bed sheets, help with the non-functioning AC and dead battery room safe and go help in less than 30 minutes.

The property is 10 minutes from Dampoort Rail Station – I used it for low cost, high speed rail connections to Antwerp, Mechelen, Brussels, Bruges and Lille, France.

There is a large Carrefour  grocery store very close to Dampoort Station and I used it to buy breakfast and snack food foods for the full kitchen in the aparthotel.

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL PEDESTRIAN SAFETY MONTH

YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT IN MIAMI, WHERE ANTI-SOCIAL PEOPLE PARK ON THE SIDEWALK BY THE HUNDREDS – DESTROYING SAFE MOBILITY FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES


October is National Pedestrian Safety Month.

Anti-social "car brain" Miami drivers 'celebrate' by blocking sidewalks which destroys safe mobility for people with disabilities.

Cars MUST be ticketed and towed.

Don't tell me people might not know any better.

A 10 year old on a bike knows not to park on the sidewalk.


Don't say a wheelchair user can just "go around in the street."

Miami streets are dangerous, even the side streets.

Ask the family that lost a good man who was killed by a vehicle on the side street next to Miami’s Shenandoah Park.

But Steve, maybe there was nowhere else to park.

Even in lawless, selfish Miami -- lack of convenience is NOT an excuse for illegal behavior.

HÔTEL DU PRINCE EUGÈNE PARIS 11TH ARRONDISSEMENT

COSY 3 STAR PROPERTY IN THE PERFECT LOCATION WITH A GREAT STAFF


The Hotel Du Prince Eugene Paris value is incredible.

I stayed for less than $150 fully loaded with tax, etc.

There is a shutter and blackout drapes, but the view was so beautiful, I kept the shades open and fell asleep to clouds passing over moonlight in Paris!

This is THE place to rest and base your visit in Paris.

HÔTEL DU PRINCE EUGÈNE PARIS 11TH ARRONDISSEMENT

COSY 3 STAR PROPERTY IN THE PERFECT LOCATION WITH A GREAT STAFF


I can't wait to return to Hotel Du Prince Eugene Paris.

It feels like staying with family.

The room is not huge, but it is perfect.

I walked to sites and attractions in the 3rd, 4th, 9th, 8th and 10th arrondissements.

Marche Aligre is a short walk away and my all-time favorite Marché Bastille (aka Marché Richard-Lenoir) is a spirited 30 minute walk away through the authentic Faubourg St. Antoine.
