The Joy of Bed and Breakfast Inns
When making your reservation, you will need to inquire about check-in and check-out times. Most B&B inns do not have a 24-hour check-in staff. Some inns have both shared baths and private baths. If having your own bathroom is a number one priority, find out if one is available. Some allow pets or smoking, many do not.
To save more money you can book a midweek package. This may include one or more of the following: two nights lodging (queen bed; private bath), full breakfast each morning, fruit and cheese tray on arrival, champagne on ice, picnic lunches for two, passes to local resorts, and a box of Belgian chocolates. On other days, inquire about in-room massage and complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres.
View independent reviews submitted to one of the leading online B&B directories, representing more than 7000 inns for accommodations, amenities, hospitality, and service. Ask for special promotions such as an additional 10% off their posted internet rates or free upgrades to Deluxe accommodations. Most innkeepers make it their business to help you find everything you need including the best seafood restaurant in town or how to find the nearest ATM.

Thats good advice Kathleen. The food at B&B’s is also a good way of getting to know what the local people eat rather than just eating in restaurants.
Frank – Do you accept guest submissions? If so we’d be interested in writing some articles for your blog. You can contact me at the email address on this comment.
Good Article..well done.

Bed and breakfasts also make a great vacation at home away from home. A perfect romantic getaway when you can’t get away. See if your local B&B offers massage either in the spa or in your room. Sometimes there are also local massage therapists that will do couples outcall massages. Make sure to check with the inn keeper before booking any of these services.
