I'm an international student staying in the U.S. for one year. Since I wanted to do some travelling all across the country, I was looking for some travel guides that covered all of the U.S. I got this one and the Lonely Planet. I expected this one to have a lot of information for cheap hostels and cool sight-seeing stuff that you could do for little money. Well, I was pretty dissappointed. I travelled Chicago, Florida and some of Indiana so far. Everytime I refered to both, Let'S Go USA and the Lonely Planet. The Lonely Planet was better in every aspect. It refered to better (still inexpensive) hostels, hotels and restaurants. It had the better maps and the better explanations of the sights. On top of it, the layout was a lot clearer. If you're looking for a good travel guide. Get the Lonely Planet and not this one. In other words: DON'T BUY LET'S GO USA.

buy the Lonely Planet books instead. I traveled cross country w/ this and the Lonely Planet book and in nearly every city the Lonely Planet was more useful for hotels and general information. Sometimes the Let's Go gave sketch hotels and I was never impressed with it's restaurants.
