About MarkTravelNotes.com
This site is written and maintained by Mark Sukhija (pictured).
Originally, I started this site to help me remember which pubs,
bars, restaurants and hotels were
good or not. Over time, however, I've place more emphasis on
providing more of a narrative of my
travels and information about upcoming travels.
Essentially, I wrote this site as an aide-memoire to help me remember where I've been and what's good and what's bad there. Initially, there was an emphasis on reviewing pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels as, generally speaking, there's plenty of information on attractions. Over time, I've placed more emphasis on narrative describing our trips in an effort to give a better impression of what it's like being there and whats possible, including hisotrical information where appropriate.
When reviewing a place I take a no-tolerance approach to poor or inadequate service. Poor service can kill a place regardless of how good back-of-house is. Frankly, there really isn't any excuse for poor service or poor manners. That said, where a place has performed well this is also mentioned.
