5 . Four Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier

Marriott Detroit Airport

It’s such an ideal option for business travelers in a hurry. Here is the basic idea: You download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive you get a message that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.

Yotel New York

The self-service kiosks (一体机) at this high-tech New York hotel are open 24x7 and work just like the ones you’d see at an airport. There are just five-steps to register and obtain your room card. There’s even a luggage robot. You tap in the number of bags you’re carrying, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker.

Hyatt Regency Minneapolis

Business travelers like the fast kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to put in your credit card. The whole process takes about three minutes. When travelers leave, they can be equally impressed with the fast check-out. You never have to wait in line.

Radisson LaCrosse

The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a password by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the password to get your key without any other steps required. It’s incredibly fast.

9 . I am lucky enough to live in a house that has a walled garden. In fact, this was one of the main features which encouraged us to buy this house.    1    . Apple, plum, and cherry trees are growing well here. Since we moved in, we have been turning this area into a richer forest garden.

    2    . Walled gardens can be created from the very beginning using recyclable materials. They can also be created in old industrial or agricultural sites, where the roofs of structures are no longer in good repair. In fact, our walled garden was made from an old cattle shelter.

I live in an area where temperatures can fall as low as around -5℃.    3    The stone walls help in temperature regulation(控制). Plants benefit from the protected microclimate in the garden all year round.   I find I can successfully grow several plants that would not usually grow well outdoors.

Stone walls can provide a quieter space than other gardens surrounded by fences. We live in the countryside but are near a busy road. Enter this garden, however, and we might be in a different world protected from traffic noise and other outside distractions(使人分心的事).     4    .

Finally, it is also worthwhile considering that when a garden is surrounded by walls, it provides a range of choices for vertical(垂直的) growing.     5     Fruit trees can be trained to grow up the walls to make the most of the space. There are plants to choose from for each wall of a walled garden, each of which offers different conditions.

A．People are likely to live in a warmer place

B．This wall can turn the garden into a quiet heaven

C．Such kind of places can make excellent wall gardens

D．Climbers and small plants can find their places along the edges

E．The stone walls of this garden protected a collection of fruit trees

F．There may be arguments about where to create walled gardens

G．However, the garden warms more quickly in spring and cools more slowly in autumn

10 . Rome can be pricey for travelers, which is why many choose to stay in a hostel (旅社). The hostels in Rome offer a bed in a dorm room for around $25 a night, and for that, you’ll often get to stay in a central location (位置) with security and comfort.

If I had to make just one recommendation for where to stay in Rome, it would be Yellow Hostel. It’s one of the best-rated hostels in the city, and for good reason. It’s affordable, and it’s got a fun atmosphere without being too noisy. As an added bonus, it’s close to the main train station.

Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes

Hotel and Hostel Des Artistes is located just a 10-minute walk from the central city station and it’s close to all of the city’s main attractions.
