The Unofficial Guide to Bed & Breakfasts in the Northwest

Book excerpt: The Unofficial Guides are the "Consumer Reports" of travel guides, offering candid evaluations of their destinations' 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 they're 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 they're extremely easy to scan. The Unofficial Guide to Bed & Breakfasts in the Northwest takes a refreshingly honest, critical look at the best B&Bs in Washington and Oregon. Unlike some guides, we don't just say nice things about every inn we visit. Instead, we offer truly comparative descriptions and rate and rank each individual B&B, looking at factors like location, quality of rooms, value, and more. Includes a photo insert of our top-rated inns and lovely illustrations of 35 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 (many 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.
