What is the difference between a hotel and a Bed & Breakfast?
A Bed and Breakfast is defined as a small property, offering 5 guest rooms or less. It may also have small cabins in addition to the main house. Typically the owner or host is the one who will welcome you personally and prepare your morning breakfast. A B&B is a fun and different place to stay; it’s a home away from home. Your lodging experience will be more personalized with the host sharing the common areas of their home and information about the local area you might not get in a hotel. A B&B provides a breakfast included in the room price that usually incorporates local specialties you would not normally receive from a hotel kitchen. Concierge services, activity planning, drinks & snacks, local calls or use of fax machines or internet which are usually an extra charge in a resort hotel are often included free. However do not expect a 24 hour desk to attend to your needs or lift your bags. At a B&B your host does all the work with little or no staff.
