Travel
Hotels, neighborhoods, and cities I've visited — along with notes on what made them memorable and a rating to help me remember if I'd go back.
Stayed here April 20–21, 2026. The Bellyard is a Marriott Tribute Portfolio property situated in West Midtown Atlanta — a really cool, walkable neighborhood with a great energy. The area itself stood out the most. Lots of good restaurants, bars, and things to do nearby. Would go back.
West Midtown Atlanta has a distinctly different feel from downtown — more creative, more walkable, better food scene. The kind of neighborhood that makes you want to explore on foot.
Staying here April 21, 2026. The Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Coastal Carolina Conway — named for its proximity to Coastal Carolina University in Conway, South Carolina. Clean, comfortable, no complaints. A solid mid-range hotel that does exactly what it promises.
Conway is a small city just inland from Myrtle Beach. The hotel itself is well-kept and comfortable — the kind of place you're happy to have after a long day on the road.
