5.0 out of 5 stars Useful book while touring New York State, May 28, 2005

By	Travelin' Twosome (New York State) - See all my reviews

My husband and I have recently semi-retired, and have spent considerable time traveling throughout the Finger Lakes as well as some other areas in New York State. We found the information contained in this guidebook to be well researched, concise, infomative and accurate. It is easy to find specific interests in the book, and we would highly recommend it to anyone interested in touring NYS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Research on the Adirondacks, June 24, 2008

By	Dana Smith "Black cat reader" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frommer's New York State (Frommer's Complete) (Paperback)

I was looking for a book to consider taking a trip to the Adirondacks. There are not many with just that topic. In the past I have used Frommer's travel books happily. I knew this would have good information. It was more than I wanted, covering the whole state which would require a lot of info on NYC, but it was worth my while to purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Frommer's NYS Travel Books are the BEST!!!!!, February 12, 2008

By	Finger Lakes Travelor "Maggie" (Canandaigua, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frommer's New York State (Frommer's Complete) (Paperback)

We recently purchased the Frommer's NYS 3rd edition Travel Guide and it is wonderful. Packed with great info on best places to visit. We were especially excited about the info we got about the FingerLakes Canandaigua area and the review's about the Bed & Breakfast's in the area.
The Chalet of Canandaigua, apparently a NEW B&B in the area seems an awesome place to stay based on the descriptive 3 star review! The book is great to use,the What's New Section which leads you to the detail area section was a great way to guide your decision on where to stay, what to do when you get there!!!
I would highly reccommend getting this book to help plan a vacation or simply a quick getaway whether your from another country, another state or a NYS resident!
