3 4 5 [Next] - As an owner of a B&B, what makes me happy is to know when the guests are arriving at my door. It doesn't have to be precise, but more or less accurate. Remember, not every B&B owner can sit and wait for you all day. Call or write and let the owner know when you are arriving. This consideration will save the host/hostess their time and you from arriving at the house without the host/hostess being there. 18-Dec-2003 Aiko's Bed and Breakfast, Washington, DC ID1176 - If you are staying at a bed and breakfast and your stated arrival time changes by more than an hour, please make a call and let your hosts know; i.e. if you need to arrive an hour early or will be arriving an hour late, please call. 18-Dec-2003 Great Valley House of Valley Forge, Malvern, Pennsylvania ID1181 - Since breakfast is a highlight of most B&B stays, mention any special dietary preferences when booking an inn. Enjoy the fact that you are eating a delicious breakfast that the chefs pride themselves in (innkeepers are usually happy to share their signature recipes with you to make at home).

Ask, and you will not be disappointed either way. Applewood Farms Inn, Mystic/Ledyard, Connecticut 18-Dec-2003 Applewood Farms Inn, Mystic/Ledyard, Connecticut ID1173 - Just like hotels, the rate for a bed and breakfast room is negotiable. The main difference is, that, unlike a hotel where it can take awhile to get to somebody in authority to authorize an adjustment, this is not true with an inn. The person on the other end of a phone is usually the owner of the bed and breakfast, and he/she can make the decision on the spot. All you have to do is ask in a nice way. Just remember - the innkeeper may only have a few rooms to begin with anyway, and if you are haggling over the last room, then don’t be offended if it’s 'no dice' on a price reduction. But on the other hand, one room of a four-room inn without a paying guest reduces a host's profit by 25%. So it's always worth asking for a reduction!
