Tully needs to get her spelling and grammar sorted out if she's going to claim to be a trained journo. She even used "per say" which is one of my worst spelling pet peeves. May as well say diamond dozen.

Ah bugger... Ya beat me to it! I'm starting to think she might have written that other piece for MoT. Per say... Wtf.

Opps. I think I might be guilty of this one.
 
I probably wouldn't care if another HM wrote that review (because they scored a free nights accommodation) or I saw it on TripAdvisor (although I would assume it was from someone affiliated with the hotel), but I know Tully can write better than that. I mean this as a compliment to her, not an insult.

Yes but that would be an admission that she did not stay there alone - heaven forbid. Just to put any doubt to rest, there is no way that she would book into a hotel like that and stay there alone by herself. It's not like she is away on a business trip. And as we all know Tully does not like being alone.

I agree, I usually travel solo, so it made me feel like she was in this huge suite all by herself (even though I know otherwise) and I felt uncomfortable for her.

She should have proof read her work over and over again. Especially if she is advertising it for the world to see. So this isn't me making excuses for her, but I do think she wrote that half arsed and without the enthused passion she has shown to her prior writing pieces. I don't think the hotel lived up to her expectations in all honesty. She mentioned it wasn't a romantic vibe and since we know drew was with her, it probably lacked the warmth and intimacy she may have preferred in a hotel with him there. It doesn't really bother me that she didn't refer to we. I figured that's what the job entails for some reason. No formality of personalising the experience, all business setting feel.

Agree...that's what I got from that review...no passion behind it (very clinical like she was more searching for nice things to say about it).

And looking at that picture of the hotel with her in the bathrobe (she seems to have deleted it from IG) it had a very uncozy, non-romantic feel to it...more like a hotel for a large group of friends than an intimate setting...but that's JMO
