Can’t Beat That B and B Price
The downside of staying at a hotel is that while their room rates are competitive, there are many hidden charges that can add up quickly. Telephone charges, room service and frequent dipping into the mini-bar can result in an itemized bill as long as the Golden Gate Bridge! B and Bs do an excellent job of making any additional charges to your room rate as fair and transparent as possible. Two major advantages of staying at a B and B are the free local telephone calls and the free homemade breakfast in the morning. Some B and Bs will often let you have breakfast in your own room. If you need to make a long distance call, you are better off using your own cell phone or having a pre-paid phone card handy.
