Bed and Breakfast vs. Hotel Stays

Everyone is looking for a deal these days, and there is no shortage of them at B&Bs. A complimentary gourmet  breakfast is always included. Yet, there are lesser-known and equally worthwhile benefits to a B&B stay. In fact, we’ve calculated as much as $180 in savings realized by staying at a B&B as opposed to a Luxury Hotel. Recently, BedandBreakfast.com polled innkeepers to learn about the array of amenities offered at inns and B&Bs throughout the country.  Figures below reflect our survey results. Here’s how the value of B&Bs add up:

- Free breakfasts for two daily (all B&Bs): $50
