Maximizing Your Bed & Breakfast Experience

Bed & Breakfasts are as diverse as the innkeepers who run them and the guests that enjoy staying at them. We firmly believe that there is a bed & breakfast to suit every person's expectations and desires. Here are a few pointers to help you determine which one is most suited to you:

A Homestay is a private residence with guestrooms. Guests usually share the common areas with the hosts. Other bed & breakfasts have separate host quarters and common areas for guests use, while still other bed & breakfasts have no common areas for guests, but rather promote privacy.

All member bed & breakfasts include breakfast in their rate. The breakfast experience is as diverse as the facilities. Some offer a full family style breakfast, others offer a full buffet style breakfast, while others provide a self-serve and self-cook full or continental breakfast.

When inquiring about a bed & breakfast why not make sure that they meet your expectations and schedule? Ask a few questions about their:

	Physical Set-up (communal atmosphere or privacy)
	Breakfast Service (self-serve/cook, continental or full)
	Private or Shared Baths
	Kitchen and Laundry Facilities
	Deposits and Cancellation Policies
	Check-in and Check-out
	Pets and Smoking Policies
	Telephone and Television Availability
