Book Description

Mobil Travel Guide: Mid-Atlantic December 1, 2005
At just under 2,000 square miles and nicknamed "Small Wonder," Delaware might be overlooked by travelers, but Mobil Travel Guide reveals its diverse attractions including a stretch of beaches, a historic valley region, its Dutch heritage, and more. Maryland, one of the original 13 colonies, has a long history, which is described in the many museums and historic sites listed in the Mobil Travel Guide. You'll also find a special section about the Chesapeake Bay, the Baltimore crab, and the capital of Annapolis where the US Naval Academy was founded. Also an original colony, New Jersey is often associated with industry and factories, but there are great sports teams, a popular beachfront, historical sites, beautiful scenery, and more. Pennsylvania, a keystone of the original 13 states, is the fifth most populous staet. Find out where to go in the nation's first capital of Philadelphia, and where to get a taste of its Dutch culture, as well as its famous Hershey bars. In Virginia, America saw its fiirst permanent English settlement. Besides a rich history, Virginia has rolling hills, Blue Ridge Moutnains, fertile valleys, and more than 1,000 miles of shoreline. The District of Columbia bursts with museums, attractions, monuments, and memorials for travelers from any country. The rugged geography of West Virginia lives up to its nickname, "The Mountain State." Visitors enjoy skiing, whitewate rafting, rock climbing, caving, and more. Mobil Travel Guide also reveals the state's softer side in a section about "Spa Town USA."

The Regional Travel Planner: Mid-Atlantic covers Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, District of Colubmia, and West Virginia. The Regional Travel Planner: Mid-Atlantic also includes a chapter on The Historic National Road, one of America's Byways™.

The Mobil Travel Guide Regional Travel Planner series gives you a driver's-eye view of trips throughout the United States and Canada. Pick up essential facts, fun trivia, must-do events, and driving details in the introduction to each state, then flip through the book to find annually updated attractions, hotels, and restaurants that fit your itinerary and your budget. Organized alphabetically by state, or by city when applicable, the guides make it easy to find just what you need.

Mobil Star Rating Definitions for Lodgings*. Only facilities that meet Mobil Travel Guide's standards earn the privilege of being listed in the guide. Deteriorating, poorly managed establishments are deleted. A Mobil Travel Guide listing constitutes a positive quality recommendation; every listing is an accolade, a recognition of achievement. Our Mobil One- to Five-Star rating system highlights its level of service.
: A Mobil Five-Star lodging provides consistently superlative service in an exceptionally distinctive luxury environment, with expanded services. Attention to detail is evident throughout the hotel, resort, or inn, from bed linens to staff uniforms.
: A Mobil Four-Star lodging provides a luxury experience with expanded amenities in a distinctive environment. Services may include, but are not limited to, automatic turndown service, 24-hour room service, and valet parking.

For that reason, we have chosen to place our stamp of approval on the properties that fall into these two categories in lieu of applying our traditional Mobil Star ratings.

Within 25 years this is our 12th vacation to the US of A and/or Canada.Every vacation a different part of the continent.We are travelling by car via hotels/motels.Using the Mobil TG as a real guide: uptodate, well documented, easy to find the places of interest, places to sleep etc. Every time the Mobil TG is our most reliable friend during the thousands of miles on the road.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mobile Travel Guide, July 15, 2006

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Mobil Travel Guide: Mid-Atlantic 2006 (Paperback)
I used to buy this product at least 20 years ago, it WAS the most wonderful book. It had everything in it, each town listed, what was there, where to eat, where to sleep, so you could make easy choices. NOT ANY MORE. It was a total waste of time. I will not ever purchase this book again, I was going to purchase a book to cover each section of the United States to use when we retire. I will not be doing that. I will now purchase a book called the next exit, so that i can see a listing for what is out there to see.
