If you are running your own hotel or bed and breakfast or you are thinking of starting your own bed and breakfast there are a things you should do in order to make your bed and breakfast as comfortable as it can be for your guests. The bed and breakfast should be more like a home than a hotel so make sure it is inviting and comforting.
First of all the bed and breakfast should have just enough rooms but not too many rooms. If you and your significant other are running the bed and breakfast or it is just you there running the business it is important that you can handle all that needs to be handled by yourself. A bed and breakfast is not a huge hotel so you do not want a huge staff living inside your home. You still want to be able to accomodate all of the guests and cater to them when the bed and breakfast is at its maximum occupancy. A bed and breakfast usually does best with under three rooms but can usually be handled with between 3 to 5 rooms.
It is okay to have a bedroom with a bathroom down the hall but there should not be more than one bedroom to a bathroom. Each individual room should have their own bath but it is okay if the bath is not directly connected to the room. The bathroom should be stocked with everything the guests may need to make their stay comfortable. Though hotels are usually equipped with the basics like shampoo, conditioner, and soaps bed and breakfast accomodations can provide a little bit more. If you can afford it, stock the bathroom with a nice cut crystal jar full of bath bombs, bubble baths or bath salts so the guests can take a nice relaxing bubble bath during their stay. Provide a big fluffy robe or a nice soft terrycloth robe that the guests can use when they step out of the tub and make sure that each bathroom has a nice stack clean and matching bath towels, hand towels and face cloths. Also remember to leave a hair dryer, a toothbrush, mouthwash and mints.
The bedroom should be very plush and comfortable, with plenty of blankets and pillows on the bed but remember to also keep extra in the closet of the bedroom so guests can add them if they are cold or put some away if there are too many. Be sure to have a little luggage stand at the foot of the bed and several hangers in the closet as well so guests can hang up their clothes for the night. It is also a good idea to keep an iron and a mini ironing board in the closet so they can iron out any wrinkles in their clothes when they unpack. A giant ironing board is not necessary but a tiny one that props up on the top of the bed will do just fine.
