Uncomfortable at the Comfort Inn
Frank Gilbuena and his wife check in to a Comfort Inn, but find that they’re less than comfortable with their accommodations. The upholstery is stained, the room isn’t vacuumed and the bathroom is a mess. He gives the hotel staff a day to clean things up, but they don’t. Now he wants his money back, and the hotel is ignoring his letters. What else can he do? (Christopher Elliott)
From Tripso’s Forums: A recent discussion on touring Paris brought this response: “Although the sightseeing is fantastic… my best times were when I was living the city, not just visiting it.” Join the discussion.

Looking for love at the airport
Twenty-seven million people will be hanging around airports and flying on airplanes this busy holiday week.

World’s most expensive for-hire resorts
Used to be that the most expensive resorts in the world were famous hotels in celebrated destinations: the Hotel Du Cap Eden-Roc in Antibes, for example; or the George V in Paris. These days however, private villas, exclusive-use islands, and luxury African safari lodges make up some of the most expensive resorts in the world — and there’s barely a recognized hotel among them.

‘Got a nice surprise from Northwest this morning’
Happy Thanksgiving, indeed. At a time of the year when bloggers and talking heads like to pile on the airlines for their substandard service, it’s refreshing to hear about a carrier — and particularly one with a so-so reputation for customer service — not just meeting, but exceeding its customers expectations. I’m talking about Northwest Airlines. (Elliott.org)
Strangest street food
While those of our readers who are American are probably eating turkey today, others in the world at large might be contemplating a very odd meal on the road. We love strange, foreign dishes here at Gadling and in the spirit of Thanksgiving we thought we’d direct your attention towards a Travel + Leisure article and slide show entitled The World’s Strangest Street Food. (Gadling)
More speculation: Skybus scouting Denver
Could Skybus be making a play for Colorado? And even if not, might other airlines jump ship from Denver International? The board of Front Range Airport, just five miles away, recently voted to pursue passenger airlines, though the airfield currently doesn’t have any commercial flights. (Jaunted)
