Overview
The guide features frank discussions of city hotel neighborhoods (with Priceline's "name your own price" or Hotwire hotels, you pick a neighborhood and quality range, not a specific hotel).
In addition, you'll find destination guides, including sightseeing tips from people who really know the area, scenic drives and walks, money saving travel tips, and other useful information.
