Putting Bed & Breakfast Rumors to Bed
BnBFinder.com Separates Inn-credible Fact from Fiction
Fact or fiction? Truth or myth? When it comes to travel and lodging, there are still many misconceptions and assumptions about bed & breakfasts. According to a recent industry report from the Professional Association of Innkeepers International (PAII), most B&Bs offer many free amenities that include internet service, luxury bedding and linens, toiletries, afternoon snacks, social hour and wine. At BnBFinder.com, it's easy to find B&Bs that offer value, experience and uniqueness. The BnBFinder Advanced Search tool also lets you find inns that will disprove and dispel any lingering doubt you may have about B&Bs. Here are some top misconceptions to rule out.
Bath Time - Not all B&Bs share a bathroom. In fact, 94% of inns offer private baths such as the 1750 Inn at Sandwich Center in Sandwich, MA, where all guest rooms feature private baths with either a step-in shower or a tub and shower. Some rooms also have in-room fireplaces so it's easy to dry off after your bath by a warm, open fire.
Connect-Inn - In a digital world, business guests aren't the only ones looking for internet service. Adjusting to the times, 93% of B&B offer free high speed internet service. At inns like Adobe Rose Bed and Breakfast in Tucson, Arizona, guests can browse the net anytime using the free WiFi, as well as take in other amenities such as the use of pool, spa, cable TV and a bountiful gourmet 3 course breakfast.
History Revived - Some B&Bs are a blend of the old and the new. Roughly, 36% inns are recognized as "historical designations" by local, state or national historic societies. Historical inns like the Barclay Cottage Bed & Breakfast in Virginia Beach, Virginia offers a historical stay with modern conveniences. As one of the two remaining original beach cottages in the city, this inn has been welcoming guests since 1917. Guests can find modern amenities at the inn such as high quality Turkish towels and robes, 500 thread count cotton sheets, complimentary snacks, beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards and bicycles.
Snack Time - Why settle for overpriced packaged goods from a mini bar, when you can nosh on homebaked goods from the inn? Many inns like the Hale House Inn in Jefferson, Texas pride on providing a welcoming environment for their guests with tempting goodies. Guests can immediately refuel with freshly baked cookies and beverages from the kitchen the minute they check in. These sweet treats are available all throughout the day, so guests can nibble and unwind in the game room or in the library.
