i think the website needs to say just a little more ...
right on the front page
that this is NOT a government program, not a subsidized program ... that participating b&b's are donating rooms and they are not being compensated/paid whatever to do this. and that each b&b has agreed to offer free rooms for veterans or those serving in the united states armed forces, on november 10, 2010. any other offers being given by participating b&b's are at their own discretion.
here are some questions i have been asked through messages to me privately my answer follows each question.
1. my wife and i are both veterans, can't we get two nights?
no. and you can't check in with another couple to get two rooms and then switch partners.
2. just one night?
yes, just one night
3. can't we stay a different night for free?
no ... just november 10.
4. what about the 4th of july?
no ... just november 10.
5. can i stay someplace not on the list?
sure, just pay the room rate. it's only a free night at a participating bed and breakfast
6. what if the place i want to stay at is full?
try another b&b on the list
7. what about b&b's in canada?
?
no offense, but there is one person who i want to scold ... severely. as in 'don't be greedy! the b&b's are giving you a room and they are losing income to do it!'
bless you all ....
