Bed & Breakfasts: Lodging with a Personal Touch

The Bed and Breakfast experience is entirely different from that of a hotel or motel stay. The typical Bed & Breakfast is a small establishment operated by a husband and wife team who take personal pride in their accommodations and often display their names and background on their website.

Many Bed and Breakfasts adhere to a particular motif such as Early American, Victorian, or Western in keeping with their location. Unlike concierge services at major hotel chains, B&B owners are usually intimately familiar with their community and which local attractions offer the greatest value.

Jane's Guide to Bed & Breakfast Inns provides you with all the information you need to make an inital selection, but nothing replaces speaking with the owners of an establishment directly. Most B&B owners are happy to discuss their accommodations and help you plan your intinerary.

Inquire about the decor and amenities. Frequently, you'll find each room in a B & B has been furnished with a particular theme to provide a distinctness all its own. Jane's Guides provides picture tours for many of our listed Bed and Breakfasts so you can view the room as you speak with the owner.

Larger Bed 'n Breakfast Inns may offer additional luxury services such as a Day Spa, massage or aroma therapy, and full restaurant on premises. Some offer special packages that include those services at a reduced rate, so be sure to inquire about rates and packages.

And, remember, the best part of lodging at a Bed & Breakfast is the personal touch provided by innkeepers who truly care about your experience.
