Mid Atlantic on Wheels (Frommer's America on Wheels S.) - Softcover

This season Frommer's America on Wheels takes you across the country with complete coverage of 35 states, including reliable ratings and reviews of more than 10,000 new lodgings and restaurants. The five new titles complete the nine-book series, which now covers virtually the entire country. As always, every hotel, motel, resort, lodge, and inn has been fully inspected and rated from one to five flags according to America on Wheels' benchmark rating system, with our special "Ultra" award reserved for the best of the best. Restaurants, too, have undergone the scrutiny of our tireless experts, who have highlighted local favorites, exceptional values, and those restaurants that are worth a splurge.

Our hard-nosed, experienced travel professionals gain the trust of readers by providing them with the unvarnished truth about a property's weaknesses as well as its strong points: "Shoe-horned into a tiny spot just a corner too far from the shops, but the curved driveway with fountains and flowers makes an appropriately posh entrance", "Recent rehab has brightened the decor, but deep-pile wall-to-wall carpeting conjures up memories of early Howard Johnsons", "All the usual...refinements, including Italian marble bathrooms; but even in a climate where temperatures climb over 100degrees F, many guests might prefer windows that can be opened.". More than just lists of data, our reviews give readers the know-how of travel professionals.
