This book has very little substance behind the nice cover! I found it not particularly helpful or useful in any way, except as a extremely basic list of hotels/inns etc. that may accept pets... the book includes extremely generic information like you might find on a hotel flyer or brochure. There is no specific information about the inn/hotel's environment for pets and why in the world you would want to take your pet there in the first place! There are some lists of various parks, but no descriptions or reviews. It almost feels as if the author looked on a map for green areas and then listed a few of them in the book to make it longer... A similar and much better book is "On the Road Again with Man's Best Friend-New England" by Dawn and Robert Habgoo. (Now that's a book worth every penny and more!)

A great book for the dog or cat lover who would like to take their pet on vacation with them. It gives tips on car & plane trips. With over 200 pages of hotels, and inns, phone #'s,e-mails,prices. There are very informative descriptions of the accommodations as well as the surrounding areas. 4 paws!

Loved the book. Great reference to stay in the New England area that are pet friendly. I would recommend for pet lovers who travel with pets. This book was recommended to me by a friend who travels everywhere with his dogs.

I spent any vacation time I had with my black lab, and therefore own almost 20 pet travel directories acquired over a period of 15 years. Each is unique in it's own way, and I believe the Pets Welcome - NE and NY edition to be one of the first directories that focused on two things that made the book stand apart from others. First, it was a regional book, and second, the listings were more upscale than the usual chain hotel listings. However, the batting average for the locales was about .30 at best. The directions were terrible in all cases, and the management of the b&b's were really quite indifferent. But what really was amazing is that I drove around for two hours trying to locate one b&b in particular, called them for more directions so they knew I was on my way, arrived after driving for more than ten hours and was told the kitchen was closed because it was a slow night! They didn't even offer anything to eat and advised me that I would have to wait until morning. The next b&b was only slightly better. Both locations did not have any dog friendly walking areas contiguous to the property. So I go back to - Have they (the authors) been there?
