South Africa’s Cape Town has the most to offer in sightseeing, extreme adventure, wine tasting, or just plain soaking in the sun and fun whole day and night. You either go in during the peak season or settle for the less busy months after the summer holidays. Because there are lots of tourist hotspots all over the cape, you can always take your pick of Cape Town accommodation from youth hostels to five-star hotels in every nook and cranny of this mesmerizing holiday destination.
Whatever you are looking for, there are several accommodations to fit your budget and style such as bed and breakfast, backpacker’s hostels, country inns and houses, guesthouses, hotels, and resorts.
You can always find Cape Town hotels in every inch of scenic Cape Town within a heartbeat to the touristy trails or to the least beaten path. Perhaps you want a taste of a traditional fishing village where the food is sumptuous and unpretentious. Hike off to Paternoster where you can stay at thatched guesthouses. This place is fast becoming a foodie resort where a host of whitewashed cottages make it unique and reminiscent of the ancient fishing villages of Sardinia.

The Holiday Inn Tree House
Advantages: Modernized, feature rich, comfortable
Disadvantages: Marooned in a concrete wilderness
Now I’ve seen a few exotic, grandiose and glamorous hotels reviewed in my time, so given my extensive working week business travel activities over the last few years, I thought it was time I made a contribution.
Just happens that this week I’m in that internationally less than renowned metropolis they call Stevenage, but I’ll give it my best shot…
I’m certainly no stranger to the Holiday Inn chain, particularly since signing up to their Priority Club Reward scheme a few years back, which has given me the chance to regularly earn enough points to get many free nights of hotel stays for the family. So naturally whenever I’m heading somewhere on business I look out for a Holiday Inn nearby. Via our company booking service, I got a fairly reasonable £73.50 rate including bed and breakfast (I get to claim it back anyway) and with its central location in the town and close proximity to the railway station (only 25 minutes direct to Kings Cross) it’s certainly handily situated.
From a previous visit a year or three back I remembered there was a smaller Holiday Inn Express (which is basically just across the way) but as the rates were cheap enough to satisfy the company bean counters, and given the Express didn’t offer any onsite parking facilities I plumped for the holiday inn “full” version.
~~~First impressions~~~
Now, having sneaked away from work a little early, arriving around 5pm I was hoping to have plenty of parking space to choose from. However the building itself was a fair bit smaller than I was expecting. I counted only 20 spaces around the outside, of which I just about managed to squeeze into the last one. They do have an arrangement in place to enable guests to park in a public access car park across the way, but I couldn’t vouch for how safe that would be overnight.
From the outside it’s basically an unassuming square block with rectangular stripes of white and dark grey. Pretty much in keeping with its surroundings, amidst a sprawling network of underground concrete underpasses and grimly appointed roundabouts that dominate this part of town.
But take a stroll through those automatic doors and your senses are treated to a transformation of TARDIS proportions. The ground floor is all about space and light open plan ultra modern furnishing complemented by soft and warm fabrics, effortlessly drawing you towards the fresh white reception desk surrounded by a rich tapestry of natural green and wooden shades.
It turns out that the Holiday Inn chain launched a major modernising rebranding / facilities restyling in 2008 and this is actually one of the first places to roll out the new layout.
~~~Room at the top~~~
I’d forgotten to pass on my Priority club membership details to the hotel in advance, but as it was quiet (first week of Easter holidays) they were able to offer me a complimentary room upgrade to an Executive room – oh Paul you is so posh!
Up I went to the 2nd floor, but no matter how I tried the cardkey wasn’t playing ball. Dutifully I trotted back to reception and got the right number this time, it turns out that in all the upgrade excitement the lady had simply forgotten to update the room number on my card – I was heading to the penthouse floor – woooh hooo!. To be fair with only 6 floors of accommodation, it wasn’t such a massive achievement, but keep in mind I’m trying to sell the dream here….
From such lofty heights, I could see that the adjacent building was actually the local fire station, and in fact right next to that I later discovered the ambulance station. Fortunately being a quiet couple of weekday nights there wasn’t an overwhelming amount of wailing siren action to be heard, but I could imagine that being a bit of an issue on a weekend stay.
~~~Funky Features~~~
Now when I’ve stayed in Hilton rooms over the years, there’s usually a distinctive difference between the standard and the deluxe versions. In the latter you’d typically get a second double bed, complimentary wine and fresh fruit selection, his and hers dressing gowns, luxury selections of biscuits even the odd choccie bar.
Holiday Inns in my experience generally give you not much more than an extra sewing kit, a bottle of still water and a fluffy pillow for your additional executive outlay.
However, in this case there were certainly a few notable differences. A proper king size bed for a start, a fully stocked mini bar / fridge, complementary soda and sparkling water, touch control air conditioning; plus the centre piece of the whole thing -the flat screen Philips telly. Executive room or not, clearly they were in no mood to risk anyone attempting to waltz off with this beauty, so they built it deep in the centre of a three inch thick gleaming white wall unit.
Everywhere you look you see a continuation of those by now familiar naturalistic furnishing themes. Mounted above the bed, a 3 block canvas picture featuring a close up shot of a branch of fresh green leaves splashed by showers of crystal clear water. A soft two tone brown carpet, green and brown interwoven patterns on the curtains, a brown armchair a green leather metal weighted swivel seat, a long woodgrain effect desk with all the clutter of unnecessary drawers stripped away. (Mind you they’ve holstered a hairdryer in the right hand corner ; gave me a bit of a shock I can tell you , when I stretched my leg over my knee and accidentally flicked the on switch!)
To me, the whole place felt just like some kind of enormous tree house, where you could hide yourself away from the harshness of the urban sprawl out there.
The attention to detail and extra thought that had gone into the design was also much in evidence. Even two of the pillows had little brown sashes wrapped around them. On closer inspection they carry a label – one “firm” one “soft”. Being my usual inobservant self, I blundered into a classic curtain trap, tugging desperately at the large patterned versions, before finally realising these were just the outer layer, and there were two other rails of pale green and lace white ones to be drawn as the mood suited.
~~~Spotlight on the Bathroom~~~
A funky glass green door lead into the bathroom, and with multiple beaming spotlights up above, there was no danger of it being a dingy corner space. There were two or three separate shelves, multiple face cloths, complimentary soaps and crèmes, and even the iconic clear plastic cups sealed in cellophane bags had been replaced by two chunky white beakers
A stylish rectangular sink, a two flush option toilet to satisfy even the most ardent of eco warriors, and a proper length bath to match. A swish back of the curtain, revealed a fully featured power shower with a head twice the size of my biggest metal headed golf driver.
One thing I did find a bit odd was a little light underneath the sink unit that was permanently on, even if you didn’t put the key card in the switch by the door. No problem during the day, but it certainly gave the bathroom an eerie glow when it came to bathtime.
Plus there was compelling evidence of some kind of spirit of hotel rooms past, when inexplicably, long after any flushing action on my part, I witnessed the water in the loo started to do some kind of back and forth waving, accompanied to the sound of gurgling pipes from another room. This went on for a minute or so then just as quickly as it had begun, peace descended.
Perhaps it was a disgruntled former guest who like me wondered just exactly why they position a full length mirror bang opposite the bathroom door; really not a glorious sight first thing on a morning hmm ……
~~~Hotel facilities~~~
Now despite its obvious green credentials, there’s certainly no patch of grass to be spied in the immediate vicinity of the place and no gym room either, so if you are looking for an active sports session to break up your trip you’ll be disappointed here.
However if like me from time to time you are happy to settle for stuffing your face in-room on company expenses, there’s a decent enough selection on the room service menu, and the tray charge at £2 is at least £1.50 less than the usual extortionate hotel rates, enabling me to fit that extra pudding in within budget.
There’s WI-FI available in room, operating at perfectly acceptable speeds. Again at £9.50 for 24 hours, compared with a typical £15 at most hotels, it’s not bad value. With 12 channels on the TV, you shouldn’t need to dip into the rip-off Pay TV channels, but if that floats your boat there’s a choice of multiple on-demand movies for around £7.95 each
On the ground floor, there’s another minimalistic masterpiece of space efficient furnishing in the bar and restaurant area.
The standard breakfast rate is £14.50, but if like me you manage to get an inclusive B&B rate it’s well worth a morning fuel up. It didn’t get off to an auspicious start for me mind you, when after taking my room number, and asking if I wanted tea or coffee, the chap just gestured over his shoulder and said “sit where you like”. I’m all up for freestyle dining, but as it happened there weren’t all that many seats made up so it took me a minute or two to find one with the right combo of cutlery.
In the meantime, a thin silver coffee pot was delivered to my table, which would have been fine other than me having asked for tea. Still, I quickly got it switched for a giant pot of tea, and any thoughts of further protest were instantly put aside when I spied the copious quantities of my own brekky favourite treat of fresh smoked salmon alongside the sumptuous array of hot bacon, scrambled eggs and all the trimmings, plus all the usual continental delights for those of a healthier persuasion.
~~~The final crunch test~~~
But however well a hotel scores on aspects of design, comfort and general facilities, there’s always one ultimate challenge that I set for every hotel I ever have to stay in. Fail this one and you are nowhere in my book.
We all appreciate that little extra pack of biscuits on the tea tray when you arrive, whether it be bourbons or custard creams. It’s always nice to have something extra enjoy with a cheery in-room cuppa, or if you’ve arrived late to wolf down with no mercy. However, if you eat that first pack of biscuits, the burning question for me is always – will they be replaced the next day?
Joy upon joys, I can report that not only were my bourbon biscuits restocked, they even threw in additional variety with ginger nuts and a kit kat. Now I don’t care if you are the Travel lodge in Luton or the Shangri La – if you deliver on the crumbly stuff – you will always have a place in my hotel hall of fame.
Maybe one day my eyes will be opened to the delights of the wider Stevenage area, but for now I know that after a hard day’s slog, there’s a little lodge, nestled high above the concrete jungle, where I can rest my weary bones.

Can You Really Have A Cheap Holiday In America?
There is virtually no person that likes to travel and doesn’t want to spend a least a holiday in the USA. Most of the people spending their holidays in US are not going to be able to tell you off the top of their heads which is the place they want to go to first or which is the place they prefer. Also most of the people can tell you at least 5 US cities without thinking it about it too much. Because of the large number of big cities and famous ones too, the top US cities’ lists might differ, but on most of them one will find New York, Miami, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, New Orleans, Washington DC and Las Vegas. These cities might be the most well known places and have a lot of tourist activities and things to do and things to see, but there are numerous others worth visiting thus the USA can be a holiday destination as many times as you want without being worried of getting bored.
In terms of organizing your trip the first thing you need to do is plan it, figure out how much it would cost you and see if you can get the visa in case you need one. If you are looking for a cheap holiday try flying in spring or autumn when plane tickets are usually cheaper and there are more deals. If you are already on the continent you can either fly into USA or drive or come by bus from Canada or Mexico. Once in the country if you are spending your vacation in more than one place you can use the low cost airlines, you can take the bus or rent a car. In the cities, depending on how big and how developed they are you can get around by bus, metro, train or bicycle. Walking is not always recommended because of the big distances between the tourist attractions especially in the big cities. Concerning your meals you can always it in fast foods, buffets, food courts or dinners which are cheaper than restaurants and you can always check the prices before buying anything or sitting down, thus there are no surprises when the bill comes. You can also buy food from the convenience store and from the supermarket. Accommodation is probably the most expensive thing you have to pay apart from the air fare, but even that can be found at reasonable prices in hostels, motels, inns and camping areas. A place in a camping area or a hostel usually starts from $10 per night and a place in a motel can cost from $30 to $80 and more a night. It all depends on the holiday destination and the time of the year you are going.
As far as the things that you can do or the activities that you can try there is simply no activity that cannot be done in the USA. Depending on your holiday destination you can visit national parks, canyons, beaches, mountains or simply downtowns. In many of the big cities you will be able to visit a Chinatown and if your destination holiday is New York you can visit a lot of European neighborhoods like for example the Italian neighborhood or the polish one, the Russian one or the Dutch one and so on. If you like cities that never sleep you can choose from Las Vegas, New Orleans, New York and many more and if you like quiet places you can choose smaller cities where there is still plenty to do. While Las Vegas is famous for the casinos, Los Angeles is famous for Hollywood and Disneyland. But the most tourist attractions are the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, the Niagara Falls, the Mt. Rushmore National Monument, the Grand Canyon National park, the Yosemite National park, the Death Valley, the Great Lakes, the White House, and many more.
Not only is the country big enough and with enough destinations to make your decision difficult, but there are so many events happening throughout the year in all the fields that instead of making your decision easier it is actually getting even more difficult. A few of the big events and festivals from the USA are the Super Bowl, the Mardi Gras, the Kentucky Derby, the Burning Man Festival, the Halloween, as well as the important holidays like for example the Memorial Day, the Independence Day and the Thanksgiving Day. Every state has at least one big event or festival happening during the year, but you can also have a great time at the small town fairs. If you are traveling with children you can choose to spend your vacation at one of the many amusements parks available in the country, but make sure the amusement parks you want to go to is opened during the period that you are going on your holiday.
