Locating New Orleans Bed And Breakfasts

By Jerry Walker


Many people will have to find suitable overnight accommodation for a business trip or when travelling with family. Some people will choose to stay in large hotels which can be found in most large towns and cities around the world. An alternative is to look for New Orleans bed and breakfasts and it is advisable to do a little research before making a reservation.

New Orleans is a very popular city and is visited by people from around the world due to its culture, food and great nightlife. There are many bed and breakfast establishments to choose from to suit all tastes. These establishments are smaller than hotels and they are usually located in popular areas of the city.

Before you book any accommodation it is useful to do a little research on the web and in guide books for the city. Most b and b establishments will cater for family groups, the business traveler and they are also child friendly. Most will have disabled access and it is worth checking with them if you have any special needs such as a room on the ground floor.

The costs for this type of accommodation will vary and depends on where the b and b is located and what facilities are offered. A double room will be priced at approximately 150 dollars per night and this includes breakfast which will be either American style or continental. Some establishments may offer a lunch and evening menu which you are billed for if you decide to dine. Most rooms will have free internet access and they are equipped with a small fridge and drinks making facilities.

One of the benefits of staying in a bed and breakfast is the personal service you will receive from the owners of the business. Some establishments will have a lounge bar serving both soft and alcoholic drinks in the evenings. Other facilities may include secure free parking, complimentary newspapers and a laundry service.

Before you decide on a guest house and make a reservation it is a good idea to price up other accommodation in the area. Money can usually be saved and discounts may be offered if you make an advance reservation. If you are going to be staying longer than one night then a room discount may be available after some negotiation with the owners.

Payment methods will vary depending on how you have booked and there is an option to suit everyone. If you book a room on the web you can pay using the regular online methods or you can pay a deposit and pay the balance when you check out. If you turn up on the day to take a room you can either pay in advance or when you leave. Many of the guest houses will ask to swipe a card and take a small damage deposit which is refundable.

When you check in it is worth asking for the guest houses price lists. This allows you to check what items are included in your room price. When your stay is over it is advisable to keep all payment receipts and contact details in case you want to make future reservations.
