Bed and Breakfasts
I only vaguely knew what these were until I watched Borat.
I went to one the first time last Sunday. One of my dad's friends rented an area outside for his b-day party. Some of us took a tour inside, and I was totally fascinated. The rooms were very nice, I expected them to be sort of plain.
Has anyone ever stayed in a B&B? Did you like it better than staying in a nice hotel?

I love them-- it's much cozier and quieter than staying in a big hotel-- a much more personal experience with the staff than your typical Hilton or Marriott. And I think they are wonderful if you are having an event like a big party-- sometimes you can even get free rooms thrown in with your big affair. B&B's can be a lot more flexible to your needs b/c they're usually a small and family-run business. Plus, I think the rates are competitive to a typical hotel.
Then again, it depends on what you are looking for when you are on vacation.

Love them! Everywhere we traveled in Europe, we tried to stay in a B&B if we could. It was usually less expensive then a hotel, plus the rooms are cozier.
Stayed in one in Estes Park on our trip out to Colorado in May. VERY personalized service.

I can recommend the Crystal River Inn in San Marcos, TX very highly! The best part is breakfast - yummy!

We stay in these anytime we're out in the sticks. Very nice.
Beats the hell out of a tent (which is typically plan B).

A nice change from big hotels.

I second that recommendation! We stayed there and didn't want to leave  Breakfast was outstanding (they made a huuuge basket of pastries) as well as eggs/sausage/bacon, and dinner was on the garden patio with all the twinkling lights.
