I had a similar problem/situation at both the Marriott World Center and Las Vegas' Venetian. It was handled in two totally different ways. In both hotels, the person staying in the room next to me was smoking and it (the smoke/fumes) came over to my room. At the Venetian, I called and they said there was absolutely nothing they could do. and that was that. Even though it was a non-smoking floor, "people are going to do what they want." My clothes, and belongings, smelled like cigarette smoke all week. At the Marriott, I called and they understood and were concerned. She immediately offered several suggestions. (Perhaps it's coming through an open balcony door? Would you like air freshener? etc.) When I told her it was concentrated in the tub/toilet room, so the neighbor must be smoking in the bathroom, she said, "I'll call security immediately." One to two hours later, the smell was completely gone!
I also wanted to point out that the convention food here is unbelievable!!! The restaurant food was average, but the buffets they put out for large groups in the convention halls were phenomenal! I was so impressed I asked for the recipes for two of the side dishes and the chef gave them to me! I particularly enjoyed the pesto tortilloni and the scalloped sweet potatoes ! Amazing!

Miyako Japanese Steak & Sushi, Montgomery, AL
The food was excellent. It was pricier than we expected, but once we tasted the food, we understood. Get the filet mignon - it was so good! Worth the price!
Cena Brazilian Mediterranean, Centerville/Miamisburg, Ohio
My husband and I tried this restaurant during "Restaurant Week" meaning we paid half price. The meal wasn't even worth the discounted price! I can't imagine paying full price.
First, the salad bar was mediocre to poor. For the price, it needs to be higher quality. The selection was average and the quality was below average.The meat was awful. I only had a bite or two of the 5 meats they brought out. They were tough and dry and just plain unappetizing.
To its credit, the ambiance was nice. If the food were good, it would be a romantic place to go, however, I don't advise going.
All in all, I don't think this place is going to make it. For the prices, they need to drastically improve the quality. But to do that, it would probably diminish their profit margin.

Greek Isle Deli, Fairborn, OH
I was pleasantly surprised with this reasonably priced, good tasting Greek deli/restaurant when I tried it today for the first time. They have a good assortment of the traditional Greek foods I love: grape leaves, hummus, falafels, tabouli (sp?), and gyros. I tried their spinach and feta pie for the first time and it was wonderful!
It is very well priced, too. So many Greek restaurants are over-priced, but not this one. This place is definitely worth trying.

Quizno's in Fairborn, OH
This is one of the worst managed/run Quizno's I have been to.
I have been here probably 10 - 15 times in the last 6 months and every time I go, there is only one person working because a) no one else was scheduled or b) the other employees didn't show up. It seems as though whoever actually shows up for work has to make up for those who skip out on work. The reason I know this is because the person working seems so tired and worn out, so I ask where the other employees are and they tell me the answers above.
The employees that actually show up are really nice and friendly as people, but you can tell they don't care about this job at all. I probably wouldn't either! Quizno's needs to find a different manager and/or owner before this one restaurant gives the rest of the chain a bad name.

Abuelo's in Beavercreek, Ohio
We eat here about once a week. There is something for every kind of budget and I haven't had anything I didn't like.
When I want to splurge, I order the Enchiladas de Cozumel - about $15 and absolutely amazing. For about $8 they have the enchilda plate and I get 2 enchiladas (Beef and avocado) with rice and beans. We primarily like to go at Happy Hour (M-F 4 - 6p.m.) because tacos are $1, and fajita tacos are $1.50. We can eat a full meal for less than $10 for the both of us.
Additionally, this was voted best Mexican Restaurant by Consumer Reports.

Chili's Restaurant in Beavercreek, Ohio
This was just ok. It is your average Chili's. I have eaten at pretty much every Chili's in the country and this ranked right in the middle -- not the best, not the worst. The service was worse than most Chili's, though.
Max & Erma's in Beavercreek, Ohio
The food was good, the service was good, but not worth the price. If someone else is paying, by all means -- go to Max & Erma's, you'll enjoy your meal. But when I am paying, I prefer to go to a hamburger place that is not as expensive.
Marina's on the Square, Murphreesboro, TN
We first learned of this restaurant on Trip Advisor and it was a great recommendation! The food was excellent. The Ambiance was nice -- just off the historic courthouse square. The prices were reasonable, and our waitress was great.The caesar salad was one of the best caesar salads I've ever had. The bread that comes before your meal was so fresh and soft. We ordered the artichoke/spinach dip as an appetizer and it was good as well! I ordered the lasgna for my entree and it was very good, but I couldn't finish it because of the salad, bread, and appetizer.
Bob Evans in Fairborn, Ohio
I have not been to a Bob Evans in years. I usually prefer IHOP and Waffle House if I'm going to eat in a chain breakfast restaurant. So when I went to Bob Evans today, my expectations were low. However, the food was excellent!
Here's a run-down on what I ordered:Eggs over medium hard - Usually (even at my favorite breakfast restaurants) the eggs are too runny or too hard when I order medium hard. Today, they were perfect. Home Fries - I don't like home fries, but they came with my meal and were really good!Bacon - again, I usually don't eat pork, but they came with my meal and were also pretty good.
Blueberry crepe -- This was the best part! It was amazing!!!!
I was pleasantly surprised by how good (and reasonably priced) this Bob Evans was!

Maggiano's Little Italy in Tyson's Corner, Virginia
I love Maggiano's and have eaten at multiple ones in Denver, Dallas and Cincinnati. This was my first time to the Tyson's Corner, Virginia Maggiano's and I will not go back, nor do I recommend it.
When we first arrived, I immediately noticed how it just didn't look nice. All of the other Maggiano's I've been to just look better.When we were sat at our table, it was incredibly noisy. I even noticed someone else in the dining room saying (yelling) how noisy it was. I told the hostess and she moved us out on the "patio" which was really just in the mall, but outside of the restaurant. The noise level was a lot better out there.
The food was not as good as at other Maggiano's. My husband and I love the Maggiano's Salad and the one here didn't even come close to how good it usually is in Cincinnatti. We were very disappointed. The service was fine, but we felt we were waiting more than usual.If you are going to go to Maggiano's, go to a different one. Not the one at Tyson's Corner.

Geranio Ristorante in Alexandria, Virginia
My husband and I are very frugal and hardly spend more than $30 on a meal for the two of us. That being said, we wanted to go somewhere nice while visiting Alexandria, Virginia for Valentine's Day and didn't mind spending more if it was worth it.
Geranio Ristorante is worth it! We ended up spending $75 and was worth every penny! To start, I had the proscuitto wrapped mozzella with brasied tomatoes salad and my husband had a green lettuce salad (can't remember which one). Both of our salads were amazing! I think I will dream about the proscuitto wrapped mozzella -- it was so unique. For my main dish, I ordered the Tuna with artichokes and tomato compote. My husband ordered the special of the day -- I think it was a pasta with smoked chicken (can't remember exactly.) Both were out-of-this-world amazing! I don't know which entree was better, they both were so good!
The ambiance was also wonderful! We feel like we have found a hidden gem and don't want to tell anyone because we don't want it to be packed the next time we go back. But I couldn't not reward this restaurant with a positive review. I just hope they don't raise their prices. The prices, while higher than we usually pay, we justified because the food was so good!
