When it comes to lodging, most people automatically look for a hotel. And if you want room service, a business center, gym, and all the other perks that come with a hotel, that may be your best bet. But if you're looking for a more unique place to stay, if you want to save money, or if you want to experience a destination in an entirely new way, you have a whole range of options outside ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Oct 29th, 2009 at 8:30AM: Neighbors of Domain Farm, a recently opened naturist Bed and Breakfast in Staffordshire, England, are complaining about seeing more than they want to of the guests.
The B&B is a converted farm and features a sun deck, hot tub, and barbeque area, and while it's set in a rural landscape, it is within sight of other homes. This brings it into the ongoing controversy, not limited to naturism, ...Give the gift of travel for Veteran's Day

Innkeepers across the country are doing something important to me: they're offering discounts, specials and free nights to the people whose sacrifices let us enjoy our freedom to move. Inns that are members of BedandBreakfast.com are taking care of military personnel and ...Bed and breakfast travelers spending more on travel, less on cigarettes and coffee
Oct 2nd, 2009 at 2:00PM: Bed and breakfast guests aren't cutting back as much as other travelers, according to a new survey by BedandBreakfast.com. Fewer respondents are spending less on travel – with the rate doing so dropping from 55 percent to 45 percent from the second quarter survey. The money spent on B&B travel, however, will come at the expense of other luxuries, with many saying they'd give up their ...Denver's Queen Anne Bed and Breakfast is eco-chic
Aug 15th, 2009 at 11:00AM:
At Denver's Queen Anne Bed and Breakfast, the mission statement is clear. Comfort, style and luxury can co-exist with sustainable, eco-friendly practices. And when it comes to green initiatives, Milan Doshi, the b&b's owner, seems to have thought of everything. The bedding, the paint, the food, the labor - every aspect of the b&b was specifically chosen to be as green as possible.
...How green is your hotel?
Aug 7th, 2009 at 8:00AM:
Not too long ago, any hotel that had one of those "please reuse your towels" signs in the bathroom was considered "green". But with new hotels upping the ante by adding more features that reduce waste and environmental impact, it takes a lot more than that to truly be green. Here are some of the greenest hotel features to look for in an eco-friendly hotel.
Sheet and Towel Reuse Programs ...Unusual hotels around the U.S.
Aug 3rd, 2009 at 2:00PM: Ever wanted to stay in a treehouse? How about in a wigwam, a light house, or even 30 feet underwater? At hotels around the United States, you can indulge these wacky fantasies and more. From yurts to train cars, here are some of the most unique places to stay around the country.
Kokopelli's Cave Bed and Breakfast - Farmington, New Mexico Located in the cliffs of New Mexico, near Mesa Verde ...Chicago bed and breakfasts offer a hotel alternative
Jul 23rd, 2009 at 3:30PM: When I travel outside of the US, I often try to stay at bed and breakfasts. I love the personal attention I get at a b&b. I like the inside tips I get from the owners, who are usually more than happy to sit and chat over a glass of wine and offer recommendations on where to go and what to see in their city. I prefer staying in one of a city's neighborhoods, rather than downtown, so I can ...Pay to sleep on a stranger's couch with AirBnB
Jul 22nd, 2009 at 3:30PM: I recently came across the website AirBnb.com, which promises to connect "adventurous travelers" with "nice folks" willing to let strangers stay in their apartment, spare room, or even on their couch - for a fee. Basically, if VRBO (Vacation Rentals by Owner) and CouchSurfing had a love child, this would be it.
At first I thought it was just a way to get money out of people who (somehow) still ...Good news and bad: Rabbit Hill Inn extends pink slip getaways
Jun 25th, 2009 at 1:00PM: I guess it's a bad sign that this deal has been extended. Popular demand, however, has prompted the management of the Rabbit Hill Inn to stretch out its "Pink Slip Getaway Giveaway" program. Originally planned to run through the end of the year, it's now going to last until April 2010. Every month – except September and October, the Rabbit Hill Inn will pony up at least one two-night getaway ...Budget summer travel from New York: Burlington, Vermont
May 26th, 2009 at 11:00AM: Check out that gorgeous sunset vista. With that kind of view and a beautiful body of water nearby, you'd probably guess this was somewhere tropical. The Bahamas? Wrong, try again. San Diego, perhaps? Not that either. This sweet view can only be found in Burlington, Vermont: a little gem of a town nestled in the northern half of the state along the shores of mighty Lake Champlain. Let's be honest ...New B&B deals offer savings around the world
Mar 28th, 2009 at 2:00PM: The bed and breakfast community will probably put a hit out on me soon, if the comments from my last article are any indication. But, I'll take my life into my hands and cover the latest news from BedandBreakfast.com anyway.
Under the new "Tanks for Traveling" program, BedandBreakfast.com members will be able to save some cash on their travels this year. I'm not crazy about the name of the ...B&Bs publish self-serving silver lining
Mar 19th, 2009 at 3:00PM: A new survey by BedandBreakfast.com says that inn-goers are continuing to travel, despite news of an economic crisis and a drop-off in travel spending. North of 96 percent of respondents replied that they had stayed in a hotel in the past two years, and 85.5 percent reported staying in a bed and breakfast. A whopping 75 percent claim to be planning two to four getaways through September 30, 2009. ...Sleep with a ghost this Halloween
Sep 10th, 2008 at 2:00PM: Most people steer clear of anything rumored "haunted," but some curious supernaturalists seek these places out. Bedandbreakfast.com has a list of over 100 haunted inns in the United States, as well as a long list of Halloween specials for paranormal enthusiasts. Visitors to the Honeybee Inn B&B in Horicon, Wisconsin (pictured) may feel the presence of a former resident named Coton and his ...Bordeaux Chateaux
Sep 11th, 2006 at 7:50PM: When you're planning your trip to visit the incredibly lovely Bordeaux region of France, you'll simply have to cast off your urge to bring along your backpack and camp. Bordeaux must be done haut-style.
Whether you arrive in Bordeaux via the TGV from Paris or by plane into the Bordeaux airport (Merignac), head north out of the city, and you're right in the Medoc region. I can give a strong ...
