Title: there are better books
Product review: i bought this book because i read the review that gave this five stars. as a resident of washington state, i was very disappointed with the restaurant and hotel suggestions provided. since when should the space needle restaurant be a 'recommended restaurant?' it's pricey and noisy, and the food is ok - exactly what you'd expect from a touristy place. you are better off having a GREAT takeout meal at the buffalo deli on 1st avenue - which has the best sandwiches downtown - and taking your lunch to pike market to watch the ferries.what about great, out of the way places to stay, like pensione nichols, which is inexpensive and charming?you are better off buying the fodor's gold guide, or frommer's guide to washington state if you are looking for 'local color.'
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
