Answered Frommer's Travel Guide
Frommers is good, but I find that I page through them in anticipation of an upcoming trip, but almost never during the actual trip. Once you are traveling, you meet people, you ask, people offer to tell you places they've been and it works out just as well as following a guidebook. Clearly, I am not a believer in just taking off without some research, because there are certain things I like to make sure I see. But not too much research. Like the time I first saw the Rosetta Stone. There we are in London, large family group, no more than one or two can agree where to go, and I end up with one other at the British Musuem. Boom - there it is right in front of me the Actual Rosetta Stone. Did not know it was there. Never thought about it I guess. But there it was. A piece of history. That the Brits ripped off from somewhere :) -

I used to be a travel agent, so I use the literature sent out by visitor's bureau's of the city or country I am visiting. Frommers and Fodor's are also very useful.
It's also a good idea to check out tripadvisor.com. It features reviews of hotels by normal everyday travellers.
