Travel Forum / Destinations / USA and Canada / October 2005are B&B's ALWAYS couples-only booking?
travel by myself, looked at 2 B & B's in Ottawa and when i attempted to book online, the only option was to charge me for 2 beds in a bedroom. Is it impossible for someone to stay by himself and pay only for 1 bed in a B & B? tariq.1.rahim@spamgourmet.com wrote in news:1130296205.399391.56800 @z14g2000cwz.googlegroups.com: > Is it impossible for someone to stay by himself and pay only for 1 bed > in a B & B? Depends on the B&B. In the USA and Canada, most of them are booked by the room (like a hotel). If you want a shared room, you should look for hostels. > travel by myself, looked at 2 B & B's in Ottawa and when i attempted to > book online, the only option was to charge me for 2 beds in a bedroom. > > Is it impossible for someone to stay by himself and pay only for 1 bed > in a B & B? I can't speak for the rest of the United States, but, last April I stayed by myself for 2 weeks in a bed and breakfast in New Orleans and don't recall having to pay any extra. Since most bed and breakfast establishiments are privately owned, I suppose each sets its own guidelines.

I go to the Quarter each year, for progressively longer trips each time. B&B's I've seen on line usually cost less per night than the larger hotels, plus the advantage of having a kitchinette and a sitting room. > travel by myself, looked at 2 B & B's in Ottawa and when i attempted to > book online, the only option was to charge me for 2 beds in a bedroom. > > Is it impossible for someone to stay by himself and pay only for 1 bed > in a B & B? What do you propose that they do with the other bed in the room?

That's what they do at one B&B I stay at in Key West. They charge by the room as well. Signature________ To email me, Edit "blog" from my email address. Brian M.

Cuppla times, m'first visit to Europe, the other bed was rented without either my knowledge or consent. On one occasion (in Katarini, Greece), the other robbed me resulting in a delightful adventure and, incidentally, the return of my stuff. ___________________________________________________________________ A San Franciscan in 47.452 mile² San Francisco. < http://geocities.com/dancefest/ >-< http://geocities.com/iconoc/ > ICQ: < http://wwp.mirabilis.com/19098103 > ---> IClast at SFbay Net Icono Clast <IClast@jps.net> wrote on Thu 27 Oct 2005 09:18:47p > the other robbed me resulting in a delightful adventure and, > incidentally, the return of my stuff. Ah, one mark of a true traveller - for whom one's stuff is incidental to the non-fatal adventure :-) SignatureChris Concatenate for email: mrgazpacho @ hotmail . com > Icono Clast: >> the other robbed me resulting in a delightful adventure and, >> incidentally, the return of my stuff. > > Ah, one mark of a true traveller Thank you very much for so saying 'cause that's how I like t'think of m'se'f.

The other bed was later rented to another who left, with my money and some of my things, before I woke. I told the owner who called the police of Katerini, a small town on the slopes of Mount Atlas. Well, what a treat that turned out to be! The Chief of Police took me to the mayor who not only gave me his personal apology but also took me to dinner. That evening was the one when the whole town walks 'round and 'round the main square. I was smiled upon and greeted by virtually everyone there. That night at the hotel was gratis. The next morning, the Chief of Police came to me to return many of my things including a tie pin that I hadn't realized had been taken. I was also given the sum of money that I had reported stolen. It seems the thief was a not-very-smart Greek sailor who was very easy for the authorities to find. >> ___________________________________________________________________ A San Franciscan in 47.452 mile² San Francisco. < http://geocities.com/dancefest/ >-< http://geocities.com/iconoc/ > ICQ: < http://wwp.mirabilis.com/19098103 > ---> IClast at SFbay Net Icono Clast <IClast@jps.net> wrote on Fri 28 Oct 2005 08:54:38p > It's nice when our probable delusions are otherwise opined. By the way, did I ever mention that I did actually get up to Alcatraz from San Jose earlier this year? Bright sunny day; a very pleasant walk in the park and accompanying harbour cruise. What's all this "fog" I keep hearing about? ;-) SignatureChris Concatenate for email: mrgazpacho @ hotmail . com On 10/25/2005 11:10 PM tariq.1.rahim@spamgourmet.com after palpating a Ginkgo, electronically interjected: >travel by myself, looked at 2 B & B's in Ottawa and when i attempted to >book online, the only option was to charge me for 2 beds in a bedroom.
