Dear Michael:
Joan and I want to thank you for arranging the wonderful trip to Alaska. This was truly one of our favorite trips, and we are so appreciative for the excellent planning and advice you gave us.
Your suggestion for an extra day in Anchorage was exactly the right thing to do. We enjoyed the time there, as well as feeling rested when we joined the tour on Monday. Our stays in beautiful Talkeetna and Denali were great, and the train rides to both places most enjoyable, with wonderful meals. The highlight of that part of the tour had to be the day spent in Denali National Park. The scenery was spectacular and the many sightings of wildlife was almost unbelievable. We could not get over our luck to have seen fourteen grizzly bears, as well as many caribou, moose, red foxes, etc. It was the experience of a lifetime. The day in Fairbanks was a little rainy, but did not interfere with our plans at all. In fact, that was the only rain we saw the entire two weeks. I cannot begin to praise enough the professionalism of the guides. They attended to all our needs, were most informative, and fun throughout.
The second week on the Radiance of the Seas was perfect. Wonderful accommodations, good food, and more breath-taking scenery. We are so glad you suggested the float plane ride over the glaciers. That was not only beautiful, but at the lodge where we ate delicious salmon, we had the fun of watching the black bear that wandered into the back yard.
It was a fantastic trip, and again, Michael, we are grateful to you for your usual expertise in planning it for us. We look forward to the next vacation you arrange for us.
With much appreciation,
Russell Bennett

The Umstead is absolutely wonderful. It's everything you could want and more. It's NC's only 5-star hotel and worthy of the title. The staff is amazing. You won't get service like this anywhere else. Even though I-40 is right around the bend and SAS campus is right there, you really feel like you're in a place apart. Even locals should make it a point to save up to stay here. It's great for a romantic weekend getaway.

I went to the Umstead Hotel & Spa for the first time over the weekend and had a 50 minute massage which was great. The staff was 100% professional and made you feel like you were at a 5-star hotel. The spa itself was very nice and had all the bells and whistles that I had hoped for. I will absolutely be a repeat customer!!
Pros: Spa facilities, Professional Staff, Great environment

I thought the hotel was beautiful and wonderfully run. I did; however notice the lack of smiles on a lot of the staff, but the overall service was excellent. When I needed assistance, staff was wonderful!

It's really hard to find a place where they have a kitchen and you can make your own food. Restaurants are very expensive to go everyday to them and i don't like fast food. Studio Plus has that option. This place has a little swimming pool. I was not really satisfied with the 'cleaning' service, it would be really nice if they did it every 3 days at least when you are staying there for more than a week. The laundry room is no good, i recommend you to go somewhere else if you don't want your clothes to be stained as it happened with my husbands shirts.
Pros: kitchen, swimming pool, away from city noise
Cons: laundry room, cleaning service

The La Quinta in Cary is the nicest La Quinta I've stayed in - the rooms and bathrooms are large, the service is friendly and the continental breakfast offers more than just danishes and orange juice.
We stayed with our two small children who enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi. There's a Walmart and Harris Teeter just around the bend from the hotel - something you won't notice with all the trees in the way. There aren't signs on the road for many of the stores, so it's best to ask questions before heading out. Even gas stations are tucked away behind tall, green hedges.
The continental breakfast offers a wide variety of foods from fresh fruits and fruit salad to a make-your-own-waffle bar.
All around, a nice place to stay, and just minutes from golf courses, businesses and the Hemlock Bluffs Wildlife Preserve.
