Pictures of the original hotel; history of it; and many hotels mentioned. I think they are all in there - at least those even barely noteworthy. Well worth having if you love history of wonderful old hotels. Another thing is the author tells you if the hotel has been renovated and is still in operation.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
