Local Author, Joseph Sabol Publishes “Adoptee: A Childhood of Torment”

An Inspirational Tale of Overcoming an Abusive Childhood.

Cleveland, OH (USA), May 26th, 2016 — What begins as a tragic story of childhood bullying coupled with emotional and physical abuse turns into an inspirational story of one local resident who has become an award winning entrepreneur. Joseph Sabol’s story, as chronicled in his self-published autobiography Adoptee: A Childhood of Torment, pulls no punches, quite literally, when retelling his story of being in the foster system prior to being adopted by John and Tilly Sabol.

“I suffered years of bullying, beatings and humiliating treatment even after I was adopted,” said Joseph Sabol. “All through my school years the other students and even some of the nuns and teachers would make fun of me, beat me and abuse me to a point where most would give up and escape through drugs or alcohol. However, I learned early on that the way to survive was to turn and face my abusers and stand up for myself.”

Joseph attributes much of his ability to survive and thrive to his adoptive parents. They provided the support and strength he needed to continue going back to an abusive environment each day. Adoptee: A Childhood of Torment, not only graphically describes what it was like to face such intensive abuse but also chronicles Sabol’s search for his birth mother and father. At the time of his search, Ohio was a closed state for an adoptee seeking information about their birth parents, however, that didn’t deter Sabol from his quest.

One reader and fellow student of Sabol’s had this to say about the book:
“The author’s ability to tell his story and understand his victimization and go on to a successful happy life can be an example for all! I am proud to call him my classmate.”

Having survived more than a decade of torment, Joseph has grown to be a successful business owner and now wants to share his message of survival with the world.

“There is a way out of this kind of life,” says Sabol. “I want to reach others who might be trapped in a life of emotional and physical abuse and let them know there is a way to survive and thrive. You have to seek help from those you trust. You have to ask, you can’t allow your abusers to take away your voice.”

Joseph Sabol is currently working with executives in the entertainment industry to find a way to bring his story to a larger audience. For more information or to purchase Joseph Sabol’s book Adoptee: A Childhood of Torment, visit Amazon or Barnes and Nobel.

The Clement Palo Alto, Opened in March 2016

Hotel Offers A 6-Star Experience in the Heart of Silicon Valley with Unparalleled Personal Service in All-Inclusive Luxury

Palo Alto, CA, May 26, 2016 – The Clement Palo Alto opened its doors March 2016. It is one of the most innovative, personalized and unique luxury hotels in the country.

With 23 spacious and richly appointed one-bedroom suites, The Clement Palo Alto sets a new standard for personalized luxury accommodations in a contemporary residential-style atmosphere.

The Clement is Now Open Complete Line of Photography Available For Media use https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s6ojv2g661phe2d/AABm21TL-iwzJpkxAmqFgfZ4a?dl=0

While unparalleled service is key to any great luxury hotel, The Clement Palo Alto takes its impeccable service to another level with an all-inclusive concept, including personalized concierge services, breakfast, lunch and dinner in an on-premise location of the guest’s choice. All wine, beer and cocktails, in-room mini-refrigerator (stocked with the guest’s favorites), and fully-stocked Guest Pantry available around the clock, are just a few of the amenities included in this all-inclusive experience.

In fact, The Clement Palo Alto is more than all-inclusive, it is all-exclusive, catering exclusively to the guest’s personal tastes and desires.

No detail has been overlooked at The Clement Hotel, from the guest’s favorite sparkling water and snacks in the mini-fridge to the plush Stearns & Foster European pillow top California King beds with luxurious Frette bed linens.

“The inspiration for this hotel came about when my wife and I took a getaway trip to the island of Bali,” says Clement Chen III, president of Pacific Hotel Management, LLC, creators of The Clement Hotel, Palo Alto. “We stayed at a small hotel there that left a deep impression on us. Everybody at the hotel – even the gardening staff -knew our names, and everyone there was so warm and personable. And, since all of the staff knew who we were, we never had to sign a check for anything. We didn’t feel like we were customers at a hotel – we were able to just relax and enjoy our stay, like being at home, only better!”

That memorable hotel stay convinced Mr. Chen that the same experience would be well-received in the U.S., and that has been the guiding vision for The Clement Hotel.

“I want each guest to feel like a guest, not a customer,” says Chen. “I loved the feeling of not having to sign a check or worry about tipping every time I turned around. That is why we have all-inclusive pricing. We want our guests to feel like they are house guests at a great residence with a terrific service staff.”

The moment guests arrive at the front door, they will step into an oasis of sophistication, service and comfort. Instead of the typical lobby and registration desk of most hotels, guests at The Clement Palo Alto will be greeted by their own Personal Concierge.

This Personal Concierge will have an iPad with all the pertinent information about the guests, including their wants and needs, and take them directly to their rooms. The Personal Concierge will take care of the guests for the duration of their stay and take care of all their personal needs.

During their stay, guests can have breakfast, lunch and dinner prepared in The Kitchen, the hotel’s open kitchen, with an executive chef presiding over the menu tailored to their tastes and requirements. Guests can dine in The Dining Room, the outdoor Dining Terrace, the privacy of their guest suite, or in a private cabana on the private roof-top pool deck overlooking the picturesque Stanford University campus.

Guests also have access to the beautifully appointed communal guest kitchen, which is similar to a high-end residential kitchen, with access to a fully stocked guest pantry that is available around the clock.

The 650-square-foot, one-bedroom suites offer modern and sophisticated comfort reflecting the Northern California lifestyle. Each suite provides an intuitive layout with an array of carefully curated amenities to enhance the guest’s stay. State-of-the-art technology is combined with comfort of the highest quality, such as sumptuous Frette linens, 65-inch Samsung Smart TVs, Nespresso Vertuoline coffee machines, and fully stocked in-room refrigerators.

Spacious stone-lined bathrooms include a soaking tub and a separate glass-enclosed shower, lighted makeup mirrors at a dry vanity area, and a TV behind the mirrors, just a few of the features that will delight their senses.

Other luxurious touches include remote-controlled motorized draperies, a desk fully stocked with office supplies and a connectivity panel for Internet and charging, robe options and slippers of the guest’s choice in the spacious closets.

The common areas of the hotel feature the elegant Living Room, which is accented with a stone fireplace and is the perfect location to relax with a favorite cocktail or glass of wine. Or they can enjoy the firepit on the outdoor Dining Terrace or at the roof-top deck with a swimming pool, whirlpool and private cabanas.

In addition, there is a fully equipped exercise room on the second floor of the hotel available to guests 24 hours.

The interior design of The Clement Palo Alto was created by Stanford Hughes of the renowned, award-winning San Francisco hotel design firm Brayton Hughes Design Studios.

Hughes says his design takes its inspiration from the hotel’s architecture, which he describes as “an abstraction of traditional Manor House.”

“The decor is contemporary, elegant and comfortable. It offers a warm, alluring ambiance in an intimate residential scale,” says Hughes, whose firm’s award-winning designs include Four Seasons Hotel Chicago and The Ritz-Carlton Highlands, Lake Tahoe. “The interior design offers a perfect blend of contemporary and classic elements. The palette of warm neutral colors and natural materials creates a soothing, cozy and relaxing environment. It is elegant and minimal, yet highly livable.
The Clement Palo Alto is more than a hotel, it is a home away from home.”

The Clement Palo Alto’s all-inclusive services and amenities include:
• All-inclusive breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks
• All-inclusive wine, beer and cocktails (charges apply for premium brands)
• All-inclusive in-room dining
• All-inclusive mini-bar
