I agree, a lot of times I am willing to live with the negatives.  Like in my example, I'm willing to live with small rooms b/c I don't plan to be there long.  But one review said "you're only view is of the building nextdoor" and I thought - while that kind of stinks... still was willing to live with it though.

I think you are right though, the review that changed my mind pointed out how far away the other attractions were and that I'd only be close to 1.

BTW - Just found an Awesome deal on a hotel in an Awesome location with an Awesome view - and I've read quite a few positive reviews which means that NOW I make myself stop reading reviews so I don't find any negatives that make me change my mind again!!
