5.0 out of 5 stars A superb resource for business or leisure travelers alike, February 8, 2005

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Best Places Portland: The Locals' Guide to the Best Restaurants, Lodgings, Sights, Shopping, and More! (Paperback)

Now in an updated sixth edition, Best Places: Portland is a handy travel guide to the best restaurants, lodgings, sights, shopping, and more to be found in Portland, Oregon. Icons for "editor's choice", "good (monetary) value", "family", and "romance" allow for quick and easy selection of Portland features to suit one's needs. Best Places: Portland prides itself on only mentioning the best of the best; even one-star establishments will be a cut above. Suggested day trips and three-day itineraries will aid the reader in maximizing enjoyment on minimum funds. Best Places: Portland is not a catch-all travel guide; it focuses specifically on listing "must-see" places along with brief descriptions, addresses, websites, and so on. A superb resource for business or leisure travelers alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars good little guide, June 30, 2008

By	J. D. Sullivan "jennifer_s001" (Austin, Tx United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Best Places Portland: The Locals' Guide to the Best Restaurants, Lodgings, Sights, Shopping, and More! (Paperback)

We took a trip to Portland over a long weekend, and this guide was incredibly useful. Although we used the web to make our hotel reservations, we use this guide for everything else. The food reservations were always spot on, as were the things to do reservations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best guide for Portland I've seen, October 16, 2007

By	Michael C. Smith (North Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Best Places Portland: The Locals' Guide to the Best Restaurants, Lodgings, Sights, Shopping, and More! (Paperback)

Very complete. 200 restaurant reviews includingcuisine, price range, address, phone number, web site and location on map. The 'Things to Do' section was great also. These editors have actually been there. The 'Lodging' and 'Nightlife' sections seemed just as good as the rest of the book.
