Summary

The Unofficial Guides are the Consumer Reports of travel guides, offering candid evaluations of their destinations2 attractions, hotels, restaurants, shopping, nightlife, sports, and more, all rated and ranked by a team of unbiased inspectors so even the most compulsive planners can be sure they2re spending their time and money wisely. Each guide addresses the needs of everyone from families to business travelers, with handy charts that demonstrate how each place stacks up against the competition. Plus, all the details are pulled out so they2re extremely easy to scan. The Unofficial Guide to Bed & Breakfasts in California takes a refreshingly honest, critical look at the best B&Bs in the Golden State. Instead of just saying nice things about every inn, as some guides do, it actually rates each B&B, looking at factors like value and quality of rooms, and offers truly comparative descriptions. Includes a photo insert of our top-rated inns and lovely illustrations of 50 properties. Five Reasons Why This Is the Best B&B Series You Can Buy: Complete Coverage: Profiles and evaluations of 300 top inns and B&Bs in all price categories, from budget to deluxe, plus a directory of 250 other great places to stay Critical Evaluations: Objective ratings and rankings of each B&B (other B&B guides read like promotional brochures) Personal Inspections: Each B&B is personally inspected by independent travel professionals (most other B&B guides are written by the innkeepers themselves) Honest Selection Process: Each B&B chosen on its own merits; no fees are accepted (most other B&B guides charge innkeepers to be included) Ideal for Families & Pet Lovers: Only the Unofficial Guides identify pet- and kid-friendly places, and recommend the best rooms
