Bed and Breakfasts

For our honeymoon, Angel and I decided to try a mode of accommodation that was completely foreign to the both of us: bed and breakfasts. We'd camped with our families growing up and stayed in motels, but we thought it would be fun to try something a little different for that special vacation.

However, after trying B&B's, we feel like we never want to stay in a normal hotel again! I think a big reason why people, especially those around our age and in our financial circumstances might avoid bed and breakfasts on vacation is because they are thought to be more expensive than hotels. From our experience, all three of the bed and breakfasts we've stayed in, in three different states, have had rates comparable to or cheaper than the local hotels, and all of them were from $70-$90 a night, three-course breakfast included. Of course you do have to shop around, as there are some bed and breakfasts that charge several hundred a night, but with a little research, you should be able to find one in your price range.

But I wanted to give you three big reasons why you should consider a bed and breakfast for your next vacation.

1. The Bed--usually much prettier than the bed you might come across at your average hotel chain.

2. The Breakfast--besides the three courses, there's usually fancy table settings and sometimes roses on your table, too! We thought this was way cooler than the mini boxes of cereal at a the complimentary continental breakfast bar.

3. Being mistaken for honeymooners. This was, obviously, not on our honeymoon trip, and to this day we're not entirely sure why the owners decided that it was our honeymoon, but we weren't complaining!

Have you ever stayed at a bed and breakfast? What do you think of them?
