Pets Welcome: A Guide to Hotels, Inns and Resorts That Welcome You and Your Pet (Pets Welcome)

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding - well researched, informative and easy to use.
Review: At last a well informed decision can be made on where to travel with my canine friends. Each of the inns are ranked according to amenities, and I particularly like the pen and ink sketches of the listed properties. This book has inspired me to travel.

Summary: Nice cover, misleading "reviews"
Review: I bought the book; however, when I checked the "reviews" I found them essentially to be excerpts from each accommodation's web site or brochure. The authors make it appear as though they have seen the places, but I found their descriptions to be even less helpful than the individual web sites I visited. I've been a loyal reader of the On the Road Again with Man's Best Friend series for many years, where the authors visit all of the places they review. I will happily return to the Habgoods and their series to get inside information on dog-friendly accommodations.

Summary: Perhaps better in print than in person
Review: Okay, We stayed at two places last week that were listed. The first, "Inn at Lake Joseph" was fine excepting for our reservation was changed from a light second-floor place to an extremely dark first floor room, this after an emailed confirmation for the nicer room (which was over $200 a night). The second place was "The Harbour Inne and Cottage" in Mystic. Well, this Inne is on the water but right next to the sewage treatment plant and behind the train tracks. The cottage cost $250 a night and is basically an old Quonset Hut with cedar artfully applied in a hippie manner, but we all had fun anyway. It would be good for the Kathleen and Robert Fish to go wherefore they write. We stand reluctant go anywhere listed in the book without further checking.

Summary: A wonderful, and extremely helpful book
Review: We planned our 2,000 mile honeymoon with this book because we were picking up a puppy during the first leg of our trip. We stayed at the Stacey Mansion in Tecumseh, MI and at the Victorian Loft in Clearfield, PA. Both were wonderful stays, and welcomed our 8 week old puppy. Highly recommend this book to anyone traveling with or without a pet.

Summary: ammenities listed not offered
Review: While the resort we chose was lovely, the ammenities listed were not offered and never had been according to the owner. Where did they obtain their information? We love to travel with our pet. Why is it impossible to find a book written by people who have actually visited these places and have an honest opinion of them?
