Tonight we visited Chunky's in Pelham, NH for dinner and a movie.
Dinner:
- I had the chicken quesadilla's and unfortunately the chicken was under cooked and the tortilla around it was overcooked even burnt in some areas. I have not liked other dinner items that I've had.
- My wife ordered tea but never got sugar or a spoon. It toook me asking two "waiters" before I was handed two sugar packets and a plastic stirrer.
- The waiters were really busy and never checked on us after the meal was served.
- The meal was served during the movie in the dark (although I'm sure if we got their early enough we could have eaten before the movie)
- My wife and had the chicken finger/fries plate. This was good.
Movie:
- We saw the Green Hornet in 3D. Chunky's (like other theaters) charges $3 extra for 3D which comes with glasses in packages. I think this movie would have been just as good without the 3D. In fact I thought the 3D made it a bit dim.
- It was a good B movie action flick. Although understand who's who was a bit confusing. If they cleaned up the language a bit this could probably be a PG movie.
- This time around the soundtrack quality and the movie was in Chunky's was really good condition. My wife and I saw Alice in Wonderland here and it had an annoying repetitive bubble appearing in the upper right hand corner.
Overall, a good time but definately not fine dining. I may go for movie and a desert next time.

LaQuinta Harrisburg / Hershey
There are some good things about this hotel. Location is OK and it is convenient to Hersheypark (8 miles away) and I283 (there are closer hotels to Hershey at higher prices). Staff seem friendly, quick checkin however this place is OLD, OLD, OLD! Even the key cards to enter the room are from the 1980s!
The beds fortunately have been updated and were comfortable but very small (doubles) so a good night rest was not had. Room was very warm and we had to open the window part of the night. The TV is also ancient and a bit fuzzy. The bathroom was right out of the 70s and had water stains on the wall and tub. However it was functionable with plenty of hot water. The floor in the room had weird groves. Free Internet connection is available. We didn't use that for our quick stay.
Not a great value especially at the rate of $74 during the off season which we got at a last minute stay and the hotel was not even 1/2 full.
Pets are allowed in for free which is the main reason why we like LaQuinta. Its been hit or miss at these hotels.
LaQuinta has upgraded several of their hotels recently and this is definately one that needs a makeover desperately on the inside. There are lots of hotels in the Hershey/Harrisburg area that I would consider before returning here again.

I lost 8 lbs and lower my blood pressure between Thanksgiving and Christmas (believe me this wasn't easy especially when neighbors and friends are dropping off delicous deserts and food). Got some work ahead of me but I believe this is a great motivator!
SparkPeople motivated me to keep track of what I'm eating and to make positive choices.
