Bed & Breakfast?

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Joseph M

Some friends of mine were looking to stay in a hotel while visiting DC last summer and were expecting to stay at the normal hotels that come to mind. When I introduced them to the idea of staying at a local bed and breakfast, they immediately though, “We can’t afford anything fancy or romantic.” I am not sure if it is a cultural stigma, but I was quick to inform them that many bed and breakfasts overseas are in-expensive and a great way to get a real feel for the city or town they are visiting.

Bed and Breakfast locations can be affordable and often provide a cultural setting with 5 star hospitality service. Since most bed & breakfasts are not franchised or anything but a chain hotel, you know you will be getting the best service from owners who take pride in their business and customer satisfaction.

After taking my suggestion, my friends stayed in a bed and breakfast location in Ireland while visiting family this past winter and they look forward to many more B&B inn’s during their future travels. The last thing anyone wants to feel like is a stranger while traveling. Like many Bed & Breakfast’s, you can be sure that you will feel like you are staying with family, be given helpful information in the city you are visiting and a much more personable relationship with your innkeeper and staff.

Pleasant Travels!

Who gets Loading/Unloading Hotel Parking Signs in Washington, DC

Posted on January 26, 2012 by admin

Today I wrote a letter to the Department of Transportation in Washington, DC
to complain about the parking situation in front of our Inn. We are a very small business but we pay our share of taxes and should be given certain privileges such as having a hotel Load/Unload sign in front of the business property. Why do we need this sign? Safety for our guests! But evidently with just one phone call neighbors can get the signs down, because that has happened to us, and that is quite unfair!

I hope someone will take notice and will give small businesses a little value back
for all the taxes they also pay.
