By Jerry Walker


Many people will have to find suitable overnight accommodation for a business trip or when travelling with family. Some people will choose to stay in large hotels which can be found in most large towns and cities around the world. An alternative is to look for New Orleans bed and breakfasts and it is advisable to do a little research before making a reservation.

Many people visit New Orleans every year due to its unique culture, great cuisine and diverse music scene. There are a large number of guest houses available to suit all types of traveler. This type of accommodation will vary in size and is usually located near popular areas of the city and close to nightlife, bars and shopping districts.

When looking for a suitable place to stay for the night it is useful to look at the local guide books or browse the internet. A lot of the businesses that are advertised will cater for business travelers and families and most are child friendly. The majority of places will have good disabled access and if you have any special requirements you should contact the owners before you make a booking.

The costs for this type of accommodation will vary and depends on where the b and b is located and what facilities are offered. A double room will be priced at approximately 150 dollars per night and this includes breakfast which will be either American style or continental. Some establishments may offer a lunch and evening menu which you are billed for if you decide to dine. Most rooms will have free internet access and they are equipped with a small fridge and drinks making facilities.

One of the differences between hotels and guest houses is the personal attention you get from the owners. Many guest houses will open a small bar in the early evening where soft and alcoholic drinks are served. A large number of establishments also offer a laundry service, complimentary morning newspapers and free secure parking.

Before you reserve a room it is well worth taking time to compare prices with other guest houses in the area. It will usually save you money if you make your booking early as a discount may be available. If you need to stay for longer than a few nights you may get a discount if you speak with the owners in advance.

Payment methods will vary depending on how you have booked and there is an option to suit everyone. If you book a room on the web you can pay using the regular online methods or you can pay a deposit and pay the balance when you check out. If you turn up on the day to take a room you can either pay in advance or when you leave. Many of the guest houses will ask to swipe a card and take a small damage deposit which is refundable.

When you arrive at the b and b it is useful to ask for the prices of services that may be billed as extras. Reading the price lists will give you an idea of what is included in with the price of your room. When you leave, always retain your payment receipts, and get a contact name which makes it easier to make further bookings.
