By Marie Bailey


Should you be one of those frequent travelers, whether for business or for pleasure, and if both are done out of your own personal pocket, then you will be needing good accommodation that will fit within your budget. In fact you will need something that is not only comfortable, but within budget as well. Should your next trip be to New Orleans, then you will need to know how to find the best b&b in New Orleans for you to stay in.

Even though you are eager to jump right in to look for the right b&b for you, you should prepare a short checklist to assist you. You should not balk at having such a simple decision making tool in your pocket, for this will enable you to cover all the major aspects needed to be considered so as for you to reach an informed decision.

In plain and simple terms, a bed and breakfast is really just a house that is being let out to guests for pay and money. Thus as it is a house it will have shared facilities such as bathrooms. Not all have ensuite facilities or private facilities per room, and thus if this is an issue for you, an inquiry should be made first. If they do not have what you need, then go on to the next establishment of your choice.

The advantage of some bed and breakfasts is that they allow pets as part of your accommodation. If the proprietors are themselves pet lovers then there is a good chance that their establishment will allow pets. But before assuming anything, it is always good to inquire beforehand before bringing your pet along.

Despite many assumptions, some traditional bed and breakfasts do not always welcome families or small children. Some restrict children to ages of twelve years old and above while others just totally ban them. Always inquire ahead of your trip or booking as regards policies on families and children if you are traveling as a family.

Meals inclusion and prices are something that you should inquire into. Some meals are not included as part of the stay and can be charged separately. Spare yourself the burden and headache of digging deeper into your pockets when checking out by inquiring ahead on the exclusions and inclusions of whatever package you availed of.

Ask about basic wifi or cable connection if any and if room service is provided. Inquire also if a curfew exists, as most of the time the owners will also stay at the same place that you are staying in. There may be a few house rule that you need to be aware of also.

The list we have just discussed is by no means complete and exhaustive. Many other factors will still need to be taken into account as you do further research. Always make an exhaustive search for data before making a final commitment.
