Popular Post Allen ★ Posted July 30, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 30, 2021 Boss booked us in an Air B&B. Thought it would be cheaper than a handful of hotel rooms. The AC is out, it’s 87° inside. I’m online booking a Marriott Suites room. 2 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffJim Posted July 30, 2021 Share #3 Posted July 30, 2021 With my severe cat allergies, hotels are a much safer bet. Never tried Airbnb, but too much can go wrong. We’ve stayed in some country inns, with mixed results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted July 30, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 30, 2021 We once stayed in b&bs for a North Carolina mountain vacation. Definitely a mixed bag. The hits did sort of even oot the misses. But the misses really sucked! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep_herder ★ Posted July 30, 2021 Share #11 Posted July 30, 2021 We stayed in a few many years ago and never had a bad one. I suppose these days more folks are getting into the business and thus providing a mixed bag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted July 30, 2021 Share #12 Posted July 30, 2021 I've never booked one, but family members have. They've all had a good experience and I think it's especially good if you're staying with kids and the extra room is good. They can also be nice when you want a location where there aren't as many hotels. But they do involve more personal interaction and dealing with individuals and there may be more unique requirements (such as putting out the garbage). If I'm traveling by myself, I find an established hotel more comforting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm traveling by myself, I find an established hotel more comforting. We've been doing large homes for Thanksgiving in recent years - usually at least 6, but up to 10 bedrooms and with lots of space to play games, hang out, watch football, cook, etc.. My mom started complaining about hosting T-day, and it made sense to just pick a centrally located place for family, and then not have anyone having their space invaded for days (and clean-up as well). Other than that, I tend to choose hotels way before Airbnb or similar. Traditional BnBs? Yep, still like them. Airbnb? Not as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur ★ Posted July 30, 2021 Share #14 Posted July 30, 2021 Okay, I lied. I did just book a fishing lodge and it isn't a Marriott property. It also isn't a B&B. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted July 30, 2021 Share #15 Posted July 30, 2021 Just before Covid hit we rented an AB&B in Palm Springs for my wife’s 50th. We catered dinner (through my restaurant owner sister) & had a big surprise dinner party for her with all our family. The previous company I worked for also rented a big ass house AB&B and we had our company meetings there. The men stayed in a hotel but the wimmins all stayed in the house. So both of my experiences with AB&B went well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted July 31, 2021 Share #16 Posted July 31, 2021 Had my share of b 'n b's and hotels. I was the person that tended to choose accommodation vs. dearie planning cycling trip details or even when internationally, he was figuring out train schedules. He was less willing to try b 'n B's because he just wanted greater freedom in general to come and go, not to be held down to a specific time for breakfast, etc. At a chain hotel it is nice to have everything available in the room and liked business computer stations to surf around for 1-2 around. I was never other common amenities user...I never used the exercise room ...and I can't swim. So those amenities aren't critical to me. We've had some incredible B 'n B experiences...a house that was constructed into the side of hill in Vermont, a simple place where in the morning there was an incredible breakfast buffet, etc. The best hosts are those who are fairly new to B 'n B hosting and hence, rooms are fresh, etc. When travelling solo, prefer a hotel in certain locations in a city. My first business trip was actually the first time I had ever stayed at a 5 star hotel. I was 24 yrs. old. I was in awe of the fluffy bathrobes, super thick towels. I came from a poor family and we never travelled overnight when I grew up. Never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
