A Checklist To Assist You In Looking For The Best B&B In New Orleans

By Marie Bailey


Should you be one of those frequent travelers, whether for business or for pleasure, and if both are done out of your own personal pocket, then you will be needing good accommodation that will fit within your budget. In fact you will need something that is not only comfortable, but within budget as well. Should your next trip be to New Orleans, then you will need to know how to find the best b&b in New Orleans for you to stay in.

There is nothing wrong in getting downright busy and getting the search process started. However, it is recommended that you have the necessary tools to assist you in making the right decision. One of these tools that you will need will come in the form of a checklist that will ensure that all bases are covered and that you will leave no necessary gaps in the data that you will be gathering and needing.

Traditionally, a bed and breakfast is nothing more than a residential unit or house if you will, that has been converted or refurbished so as to accommodate paying guests. As it is a former house, it is expected that features such as bathrooms will be shared, and en suite facilities for this can be quite the exception rather than the norm. If bathroom sharing is an issue, it is best to check beforehand.

One distinct advantage of a b&b is that sometimes they do allow pets on premises and part of the accommodation as compared to more traditional motels or hotels. There is a higher likelihood that a b&b will allow pets if the owners themselves are also pet lovers. Despite this logical assumption, it is always wise to inquire first if you are in the habit of tugging your pet around with you on your travels.

Surprising enough some establishments do not permit children as part of the accommodation or even on the premises. Quite a few will prefer lodgers that do not have families, or children. Some will allow children with restrictions such as they have to be at least twelve years old and such. If you are a family person, then inquire into this possibility beforehand.

Before you check in totally, ask about the inclusions and exclusions of the price you are paying. Check if meals are part of the package or not and if these are charged separately. By doing this you will avoid any unforeseen costs and charges that may occur by the time that you do check out.

Part of the things that you should inquire about before you book will be on availability of services and other amenities. Ask if they have basic cable or wifi connections or even room service where it is warranted. In addition ask if there are certain curfew provisions that you need to be aware of, since most of the time these establishments are also actual homes for the owners.

The list we have just discussed is by no means complete and exhaustive. Many other factors will still need to be taken into account as you do further research. Always make an exhaustive search for data before making a final commitment.
