(More customer reviews)Published on a Premise that you want the BEST THAT AMERICA HAS TO OFFER.
This guide lists ONLY the top four and five star hotels and restaurants that independent, professional evaluators of Mobil's give to the most outstanding restaurants and hotels in the previous year.The guide covers most of the 48 States, as well as Canada. Alaska and Hawaii and a few continental States are not listed.
Each time I used the guide, and each time I took their recommendations I was rewarded with a very good to great experience. The accommodations were memorable and food, was the type were silence falls over the time while eating, as each diner is as tantalized as there are focus on their vitals.
Mobil's selection of hotels are not budget minded; they are by most accounts expensive. Only a few selections will be near $100 (single), whereas most accommodations are much more than that.
Restaurants are a bit better but not by much. They are also pricy. Seldom will you and your guest leave the table for less than $100. It would have been nice to have a list of "values" where Mobil would list the ten "best" hotels for under $100, or the ten "best" restaurants for under $50 per person.
A small irritation was that the guide lists hotels and restaurants together, without separation them. Thus you read through most all of the list seeking for either a restaurant or lodging.
So, if you want the best and you can pay for the best then get the best. And this book will be the best book to help you do just that ... it is a great small, purse size guide making it an excellent travel companion. Highly recommended. 4.5 stars.
