1.0 out of 5 stars Almost False Advertising, August 26, 2001

By 

June (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vacationing With Your Pet, 4th Ed (Paperback)

This is one of the most self-serving pieces of... I have ever bought. It's more of an autobiography of the author (Eline Barish) than a directory. The listings are stale and MOST (5 out of 7) of the places I stopped at last week didn't accept pets and NEVER HAD... That's all you can say about it. As a single woman traveling with my dog, this is a headache that I didn't need and don't want anyone else to have either...

2.0 out of 5 stars Call Ahead!, August 2, 2000

By 

Jill Matrix (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Vacationing With Your Pet, 4th Ed (Paperback)

This book is an excellent place to start and gives you an idea of chains that typically take pets -- a surprising number.

However, I just got burned trying to find a place to stay late at night in Baltimore. Two of the places listed in the book did not take pets, had never taken pets. I ended up in a hotel you would not believe because I was just too exhausted to keep driving.

So ... take what's in this book with a grain of salt and phone ahead. Or buy a different book. I threw my copy away when I got to New York, if that tells you anything.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice Idea -try again, August 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Vacationing With Your Pet, 4th Ed (Paperback)

I wish I'd read the customer reviews BEFORE I bought this book. I gave it as a gift to some dog lovers and they report back that only about 50% of hotels/motels listed actually accept dogs. Often BIG dogs are not as welcome as smaller ones! This book is not as useful as one would hope...
