FROM gold plated taps to Italian marble, the £200 million revamp of Trump Turnberry is giving extra sparkle to the jewel on the Ayrshire coast.

DONALD Trump has promised to make Turnberry bigger and better than ever, and for £200million it looks like he’s getting plenty of bang for his buck.

The billionaire magnate’s radical overhaul is transforming the iconic 110 year old Ayrshire hotel and golf course, which reopens on June 1.

I'd say the man is a transformer above all. He takes "something" and transforms into something better.

The Old Post Office in DC is another magnificent example.

I guess I stole your "transform" word...sorry...but it is the perfect word for his work.

Fits right in with his Presidential theme, doesn't it......Make America Great Again !!

It’s a magnificent. Many foreign dignitaries will be guests there. And staying there will add to our new President’s prestige.

I noticed the power outlets and internet connection (?) just behind the light on the nightstand.

I spend a lot of time in hotels in many parts of the world and ALWAYS have trouble plugging in devices because the outlets are usually hidden behind pieces of furniture. Any visible connections are on the desk, which usually is not near the bed where our smart phones, serving as alarm clocks, need to be.

That is a planned room taking into account the actual needs of travelers.

People who go to the UK have to understand that the electrical outlets are 220.

SOOOO...you need a converter, or do like I did and make a plug with one live and one ground that fit their plug ins. A converter is better.

Yes, you need a converter, but you also need logically placed receptacles.

I also notice those wonderful heated towel bars they have in UK lodgings. Especially wonderful in damp or chilly weather.
