Holiday Inn Express Shawnee

Aug 13, 2008

We reserved this from the freeway about an hour before arriving close to midnight. We ended up with a suite which was very comfortable. My only issue was the AC unit located directly next to the bed with a very powerful and loud blower that came on just as I was falling asleep. I changed the thermostat setting and had... more

Ember's Steakhouse

1 of 5 stars
Shawnee, Oklahoma
Jul 18, 2008

Inside the shiny, new Pottawatomie Firelake Casino resides one of the absolute worst steakhouses in America - Ember's. The casino opened with much fanfare and is extremely nice - unfortunately that does not carry over to what they want to be the centerpiece of their location - Ember's Steakhouse. Firstly, I must say that the ambiance and decor are top... more

I'm not sure what all the fuzz is about. This place was not impressive at all. Food was ok. Service was terrible and the place looks really dirty. Won't be returning. more

Holiday Inn Express Shawnee

The excellent reviews for this hotel are the real deal. Traveled with 24 families for a baseball tournament trip. I coordinated the reservations so was really hoping for the best. This hotel far exceeded our expectations. Spotless rooms, spotless facilities, nice pool area with hot hot hottub, good breakfast with pleasant seating area. Bed covers are duvet with light blankets,... more

Van's Pig Stand

We went to Vans on a roadtrip and sampled a variety of their offerings. We tried the pig sandwich, a chopped/pulled BBQ pork on a bun, which was OK, but a little dry, maybe more sauce would have helped. We also tried the Van-ized potato, which is basically a double-baked potato that has bacon or BBQ or something mixed into... more

Best Western Cinderella Motor Inn

Apr 11, 2008

We were travelling cross country in late 2004, and had made reservations at this "motel". Upon our arrival, most of the lights in the lobby were out, and we were checked in. We were horrified upon entering our room! The room smelled like an old moldy, wet blanket. When I used the toilet, it flooded out of the base and... more

This is a very nice seafood place, offering half portions (which we appreciated). Food is very good, service is excellent and the wine list is adequate. more

Volcano, California
Feb 28, 2008

This place is great! It is new and clean and comfortable and has everything. The room is comfortable and spacious, it has microwave and 'fridge, the wireless works great and the breakfast was super. I wish all the places we've stayed at were this nice. The nearby Chili's restaurant is best avoided. On a Tuesday evening, it was jammed -... more

Benton's Cafe

Feb 1, 2008

My wife and I ate at Benton's Cafe awhile back after visiting some antique stores downtown. The interior was interesting -- like walking back into the 60's. My wife had a burger with fries, and she said it was okay. However, I ordered a chicken fried steak that turned out to be the worst I've ever had. The crust (if... more

Frateli's Italian Restaurant

I love this restaurant because it has authentic Italian food and an extensive menu. Great atmosphere, sometimes a little crowded. The prices are very reasonable and it is family friendly. more

Got a chance to stay at this hotel in Shawnee, OK while passing through Oklahoma. I really liked the location of this hotel since it was very close to local restaurants and freeway. The front desk staff was very friendly and accomodating. The price was decent and room was quiet and comfortable. Hi-speed internet was a plus. I noticed all... more
