Bed and Breakfast Travel and Reservation Tips
To make things easier, we’d like to mention a few characteristics common to
Bed and Breakfast travel:
The inn’s owner is often your personal host throughout your stay.
Most of our inns do not permit smoking or traveling pets, although most have
smoking areas outside.
Many are adult oriented without appropriate accommodations for children, although some do welcome families.
Many of the inns offer private baths, but that is not always the case. Some have shared baths or baths down the hall. Be sure and inquire if you prefer a private adjoining bath.
Reservations are generally required and confirmed with a deposit by check or credit card guarantee.
When making your reservation be sure to ask about cancellation policies, since most are small inns with less than 6 rooms and they depend upon advanced reservations.
Since most inns do not have a 24 hour front desk, please ask about specific check-in times and call if you are delayed beyond that time.
Many of the inns, because they are homes, are not Handicap Accessible. Please inquire.
Breakfast is always included in the rate, but inquire about availability of additional meals. Many inns also offer complimentary snacks.
Notify the innkeeper in advance if you have any allergies such as feathers, pets or dietary restrictions. Many inns have resident pets.
Most areas impose a bed tax on local inns which may be added to your room rate as well as state and local sales tax.
