This review is from: San Francisco '99: The Complete Guide with Great Dining, Wine Country Getaways and Bay Area Side Tr ips (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)

Fodor's once again puts together a great collection of information useful for planning your trip. Reviews of lodging, dining and activities appeared to be straight forward and honest. Also handy were recommendations for specific rooms in certain inns and hotels. My only regret is that the section on the wine country was not very complete.
