I have checked into hundreds of hotels and I still feel a little lift when a lobby gets the light right. My reviews read like a note to a friend who asked “was it worth the trip?” — personal, specific, and honest about the small annoyances that stay with you.

I hunt the small comforts: how the pillow sits, whether breakfast feels unhurried, whether the welcome settles your shoulders. My tone stays cosy and reassuring — the kind of note you send when you want someone to feel looked after on the road.
