So, while I don't dispute some properties run hot and cold, and while I am sure the negative reviews are legitimate, I would caution anyone from taking the 'list' as gospel, especially if the posters are basing their judgements on just one stay. I say this even though I have personally written off a couple of properties after only one stay myself.

Still, the lesson for me - having seen these three on the 'list' - is to take the 'list' as guidance only. As always, these assessments cans somtimes be very objective - even my own "wonderful" stays at these very same properties.
