Customer Rating:
Summary: Kind of disappointed with this Moon Handbook
Comment: Compared to the 6 other Moon Handbooks I have (and have used extensively with many recommendations given to others), this is the least informative and I'm kind of surprised about that since it's focused on a very specific region of New York State. The New York State Moon Handbook gave far better more information on this region than this book did and I'm glad I had both of them on my trip. The book isn't a complete dud though and it certainly beats the travel book published by the nationally known auto travel club.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An adequate, but not inspiring, guide book
Comment: If you have access to no other guidebook on the Hudson River Valley, the Moon Handbook provides an adequate roadmap. The descriptions of attractions are fairly detailed, the maps are easy to follow and the layout of the book is clear. It is dry and descriptive, however, and lacks the kind of personal evaluations that make other guidebooks so inspiring. It reads more like a government pamphlet than a travel book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The ideal tool to plan a weekend excursion!
Comment: The guide not only offers wonderful suggestions for dining and lodging, but insight into activities and off the beaten path exploration. Clearly, the author's love and knowledge of the region resonates through the book. A very helpful tool for planning a weekend getaway, or a longer stay in this beautiful region of New York state.

Summary: This is the best HRV guide out there!
Comment: This book is the best guide to the Hudson River Valley that I've seen. It was a big help for planning weekend road trips and it also let us find cool new things to do. I think it'd be a great guide for anyone who visits the area often and is looking for something different than the same old thing. The writer really knows her stuff. Great book!
