8 Reasons Why You Should Stay at a Bed & Breakfast instead of Hotel

When traveling or planning a special getaway, you have several options for accommodations. Traditionally, most people think of staying at a hotel. While hotels are fine, there are distinct advantages for choosing a bed and breakfast.

Here are 8 reasons why you should choose a B&B over a hotel:


1. Personalized Hospitality

B&B hosts go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and make sure your stay is enjoyable. You can expect genuine conversation, local tips and thoughtful touches that make you feel like a guest — not just a room number.


2. Home-Cooked Breakfast

It’s part of the name! You get a bed to sleep in and breakfast in the morning. This isn’t just any breakfast, though. You are getting a hearty, homemade meal that is fresh, made with locally sourced ingredients and customized for your dietary needs. This beats a continental breakfast buffet at a hotel any day! 


3. Unique, Cozy Atmosphere

Unlike generic hotel rooms, B&Bs usually feature charming, individually decorated spaces with character. You can often expect a historic home with antique furniture, local art and rustic charm. 


At Main Street B&B you’ll be staying in a 200-year-old home that’s been updated with all the modern amenities you require.



4. Quiet, Intimate Setting

With fewer rooms and guests, B&Bs offer a peaceful, relaxing environment — ideal for romantic getaways, a stress-free retreat or just a quiet place to rest after a fun day of activities. 


5. Local Insight

B&Bs are typically run by locals who know the area. They can give insider recommendations for restaurants, stores, hidden gems and local events that don’t show up on travel apps.


6. Impeccable Cleanliness

Most B&B owners take great pride in cleanliness and upkeep. Guests often find the attention to detail exceeds that of standard hotels. If something is not up to your standards, you can usually talk to the owner directly to get it straightened out.


7. Supports Local

When you stay at a B&B, you support small businesses and local economies — not multi-national hotel chains. In return, you get personable service and a unique, local experience.


8. Great Value

While rates vary, B&Bs are overall a great value for what you get. In addition to a comfy bed and homemade breakfast, you get local insights and heartfelt hospitality. The personal touches and unique setting will create a memorable experience that few hotels can offer.

Relax! Enjoy the Patio and Fire Pit

  Relax!   Enjoy the Patio and Fire Pit I have now owned the Main Street Bed and Breakfast for four years.   For those of you that don’t know me, I enjoy gardening as much as time allows.   So, over the years I have made some minor improvements to the outside landscape.   But, this year I really wanted to create a pleasant space for my guests to relax and enjoy the backyard.   I started by planting another ten Arborvitaes along the south border to block the funeral home parking lot and give more privacy.   I just have to watch that trucks don’t back into them!   In May I hired Pablo Ginez of Orbis Terrarum to build a brick and stone patio around the existing cistern.   The cistern has been capped by the city but we were curious to see if it could be filled in so we took the cap off to look inside.   We found it’s a brick well that probably goes down about 20 to 30 feet!   Needless to say, we will not be filling it in.   I j...

New Animals to Greet You at Main Street Bed & Breakfast

Image
Guests will be enthusiastically greeted by our new Bed & Breakfast mascot - Kodiak! Kodiak is a rescue dog I adopted from a local shelter last summer. They told me he was 4 years old, but I'm sure he's much younger. He still has a lot of puppy energy! Kodiak is super friendly and playful. He enjoys playing keep away with his ball. Don't be surprised if he brings a ball or other toy to you, inviting you to participate. He loves being petted as well. If you are not a fan of dogs - don't worry! I can keep Kodiak penned up out of the way, so he's not a bother. I understand not everyone loves dogs. If you are allergic to dogs, that may be an issue depending on how severe your allergy. If you have any concerns, don't hesitate to talk to me before booking your stay. I want everyone to feel comfortable during their visit to Glasgow. Besides Kodiak, I also have three chickens. Snowy, Checkers and Jenga live in a chicken coop I added last fall. They provide fresh eggs...
