How To Avoid Offending Your Hosts When Staying At A New Orleans Bed And Breakfast

By Charles Cole


For years, many travelers have preferred staying at inns as opposed to hotels. Most people opt for them due to the homelike environment, pocket friendliness and chance of meeting and interacting with new people. If you are unsure of what it is like to stay in a New Orleans bed and breakfast, here are a set of guidelines to help you be at your best behavior.

There are numerous things that every guest should inform his host prior to making a reservation. The services and facilities at a typical inn are tailored to the needs of a guest. Even then, some establishments have distinct policies that may not allow such latitude in service provision. Telling your host what you expect in advance is a prudent way to avoid inconveniences.

Some of the important details to talk about early on include allergies, dietary restrictions, room preferences and any other special request. If you are handicapped, ask if there are provisions for guests in your situation. Another crucial thing to check is child friendliness. You do not want to take your kids to an establishment with brothel like behavior.

Most innkeepers are happy to facilitate celebratory events, provided you let them know in advance. Some inns even plan for complimentary upgrades for guests celebrating special occasions. Special meals can also be prepared at your request. During special dates such as Valentines, complimentary wines and chocolate are often part of the menu.

Many guests do not know if it is okay to eat breakfast with the rest of the guests. Sharing the breakfast table is a great way to interact with others and make new friends. Inns usually require guests to take breakfast at a designated time and spot. This should not prevent you from skipping breakfast if you are not in the mood for it. Just be sure to say it in advance. Guests may also eat out whenever they feel like it.

Some innkeepers even give guests the latitude to pack their breakfasts and go. This mostly happens in inns built near hiking trails. Such inns are recommended for guests who are in the area primarily for adventure.

Innkeepers also understand that guests will not always check in on time. It is a fact that flights get delayed and people get held up in traffic regularly. These travel uncertainties are common and so your arrival time should not worry you much. The bottom line is that some advance communication is important.

Each establishment has its own policy on pets. It is always good practice to ask before bringing a pet to an inn. It would be a great inconvenience to have to move around looking for a new inn when you get rejected due to a violation of rules.

As it is likely that you will be interacting with new people during the course of your stay, you should know the right topics to converse about at the dinner or breakfast table. Everyone should feel free to interact freely with others. However, you do not want your conversations to border on politics and religion.
