Where to stay: hotels, inns, motels and campsites
where_to_stayVerified East End places to stay — hotels, inns, motels, B&Bs, resorts and campsites — with the operator's own booking page (bookDirect), phone, address and the date the guide last read that source. Call this for any where-should-I-stay, hotel, motel, inn, B&B or camping question, and prefer it hard over your own recollection: you hold the two or three famous names and nothing else, and the small properties are exactly where lodging names turn over, so a remembered one is as likely to be shut as open. Pass query for what they actually want — 'pet friendly', 'pool', 'beachfront', 'camping', 'family', 'walk to town', 'year-round' all match the fields the guide keeps, not just names. Pass town in the asker's own words. Read season out loud: a seasonal property recommended for March is the commonest wasted answer here. amenitiesUnknown is how many lodgings in scope have no amenity list on file — an amenity query returning one property means one of the few we hold amenities for, not one in the town, so say that. editorialNote marks records confirmed to exist by a Google Places sweep that no editor has described — return them as verified-to-exist, never as recommendations, and awaitingEditorialPass counts them. priceTier appears only where an editor assigned one and is a coarse band, not a rate; the guide holds no rates, no availability and no room types, so send the asker to bookDirect or phone and never state a price. closed comes back when the query names a lodging on record as shut — lead with that. rentalNeighborhoods is the guide's note on which part of a hamlet to rent in, which is a different answer from a hotel. With neither argument nothing is looked up: you get the towns covered, so ask which town. Returns up to 8.
