Zagat 2009 America's Top Restaurants Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are going to a really large city, I would recommend the City specific guides over the America's Tops (and thus the 4 stars instead of 5). Still, this guide is a must have for the traveler or even for your own city if it does not have a city specific guide. The information is very accurate and up to date. However, there is a disadvantage to the only top restaurants approach. Also, for example, the Cleveland section includes no Akron restaurants. That may be helpful for the business traveler staying in a downtown hotel, but for most other people it would paint a distorted or limited picture of the available choices. Still, for the price, this is a great deal.

Zagat 2005 Top U.S. Hotels, Resorts & Spas (Zagatsurvey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This survey is the result of surveying 16,413 frequent travelers. The respondents have stayed at hotels an average of 36 nights per year. This adds up to roughly 600,000 nights annually. These survey participants rated these hotels, resorts and spas on the quality of their rooms, services, dining facilities, and on their public spaces/facilities. In addition the resources of the American Society of Travel Agents and their 900 members were used. Overall then, the ratings represent a pretty broad range of experiences that should be a good indication of what to expect at each location.
In addition to rating the various properties by their location, this survey breaks them down by top scorers in a number of categories such as Top Hotel Chains, Top 50 hotels, Top 50 resorts, Top 50 small hotels, Tops by region and Top service and Dining to name just a few.
After the main portion of the survey, there is a sspecial features index, listing such items as Bed and Breakfast properties, Convention Centers, right down to Private Balconies, Water Views, and "Trendy Places." The list is too long to include here, but might just have the information you need to make one place more appealing to you and your family than another one you might be considering.

There are other useful sections, such as some very handy travel tips including methods of getting your reservations at better prices than those published.
Overall, for the upscale traveler, I think that this Zagat Survey is one that ought to be consulted while planning a trip.

Zagat 2005 Top International Hotels, Resorts & Spas (Zagatsurvey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What I like most about Zagat Surveys is the fact that, although Zagat works with travel agents to get information about the properties that are listed, the actual raters are not publicitists or travel agents. They are, in fact, people who have stayed at the resorts or hotels being rated, people who have stayed there, eaten there, used the facilities such as pools and spas, and who have experienced the hotels' service, both good, bad, and indifferent, and have no vested interest in reporting what they like or dislike.
Propertiy ratings cover the following categories: Rooms, Service, Dining, and Public Space. Costs given are the high season rack rates for standard double rooms. Since the ratings are averages of a great number of responses, individual biases probably don't affect them very much.
Properties are listed by country, city within the country, where applicable, and then in alphabetical order.
For convenience, there are a great number of cross references such as: Golf, Hiking, Historical Interest, Pet-Friendly, etc., and even by availability of Fireplaces.
Comments are those of people who have stayed in the properties, and range from raves to "rants."
All in all, If you are looking for an upper end hotel or resort almost anywhere in the world, this Zagat Survey should be of help.
