Just returned from a month long tour, equipped with this book. After our first lodging flop using this book, we looked for AAA aggreement with the book’s ratings. We opted to put the book away after the second time we used it to find lodging. Fortunately we decided to do a “Look and See” before making a reservation that night and were forever thankful for this. Quite frankly, the highly recommended lodging was a dive on the outside! Be afraid, very afraid. My friend and I wondered what the criteria for exceptional was?

This was a Christmas gift for my husband and he just loved the book. We want to travel Route 66 from California to Chicago and we can’t wait to be able to use this. I would reccomend this to anyone.

The book has a lot of information and very detailed about the places to stop. I wouldn’t make the trip without it.

The Route 66 Dining & Lodging Guide is a great resource for finding places to eat and sleep while exploring Route 66–or when traveling through the areas covered by this guide. It’s truly an invaluable supplement to road maps and/or turn-by-turn guides to 66.

Something to keep in mind is that the Guide isn’t meant to be a Zagat’s or a “what’s most popular” guide to Route 66. Rather, the Guide is a reference which can be used both in the planning stages of a Route 66 trip and while actually out on the road.

Unlike some reviewers of the previous editions of this book, I enjoy the idiosyncratic viewpoints in each section of the Guide. Listings based on online popularity contests result in bland, homogenized recommendations which cater to the lowest common denominator. The fun of exploring Route 66 comes from experiencing the unusual, the unexpected, and the unknown.

M. Siperek’s comments come from a person who doesn’t understand Route 66, let alone, the guide. One of the purposes of the guide is to help you find the vintage places that don’t always look like sparkling Holiday Inns on the outside but are clean, comfortable, friendly and a fraction of the price of Holiday Inns. To discard the guide based on the experience he/she states, tells me he/she should have stayed on the interstate all the way to Vegas.
