"The list would be different if we counted rooms or beds," says Eric Chandler, vice president of e-commerce marketing for superpages.com. "But we're counting the total number of different lodging choices in each location. This lets travelers know they have a wide variety of accommodations to choose from."
Chandler added, "We've previously ranked the 25 'Most Fun' and 'Tastiest' cities to show how superpages.com is your most valuable resource to search for local information."
The popular Web site also includes travel tips from Samantha Brown of the Travel Channel. Her advice covers shopping for trip supplies, packing your luggage, coping with problems en route and finding local information once you arrive at your destination.
To find a restaurant's phone number or location, Brown likes the versatility of superpages on the go -- a complete information resource on Verizon Wireless Get It Now phones. For one low monthly fee, subscribers get maps and driving directions, restaurant reviews, weather forecasts and directory information -- right over the cell phone.
"If you have a Verizon Wireless phone, sign up for superpages on the go," she says. "It allows you to find hotels, restaurants or tourist attractions along your route -- or at your destination. Imagine -- no stopping at the gas station to ask the attendant!"
