Is this a new trend, to call yourself both a hotel and a bed and breakfast? This place is actually called The ______ Hotel and Bed and Breakfast. The funny part is they have all of one room. Hardly a hotel or B&B in my opinion. Seems like they are overreaching. It's brand new so will be interesting to see how long it lasts. We've lost quite a few places around here in the last year.
I found this online: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-difference-between-a-bed-and-breakfast-and-a-hotel.htm
I don't necessarily agree with everything said however. I got a good laugh out of the part about B & B owners spend a significant time socializing with the guests....yeah? On what planet?.
On my planet. When I compare the time I can and do spend chatting with guests, it's pretty significant compared to time spent with guests when I managed the hotel. So, I have to think
"the part about B & B owners spend a significant time socializing with the guests" is compared to a hotel stay.
But then, I have only three rooms and no life to speak of, so it could just be me! In the beginning here, that balance of attentiveness and self-perceived intrusiveness was a fine line to walk, especially for my DH.
