UpTake’s readers like me, they really really like me (Pulitizer committee take note)
Four of UpTake’s lodging blog’s most popular articles right now are mine:
- Ritz-Carlton, Washington D.C. proves more child friendly than my house
- Room 817 at the Marriott Newark International Airport Hotel is a good place for s-e-x
- Find affordable Louisville accommodations for the Kentucky Derby
- Not mine
- Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids, Michigan offers spacious suites, fine dining, unique view of Gerald Ford
Page views, of course, are a crucial consideration in Pulitzer voting—so thanks for reading!
