As I mentioned last week, I had to go up north on short notice to deal with a family medical issue and then visit Charlotte for a business meeting. Everyone is on the mend now, but while I was traveling, I was able to visit three new(ish) airport lounges and an interesting new hotel in New Haven, Connecticut. I also visited a Hampton Inn that does things right. I’ll split this review trip into five parts:

1 – New LGA Delta SkyClub Review

2 – Hotel Marcel New Haven Review

3 – New LGA American Express Centurion Lounge Review

4 – CLT American Express Centurion Lounge Review

5 – Hampton Inn Charlotte/Ballantyne Review

Hope you enjoy these reviews and that the information is useful as you plan your travels. Unfortunately, our long-planned trip to Ireland has had to be postponed for a year due to one of these family medical issues, but we plan to try again next October.
