Monday Madness

1. Bed & Breakfast or hotel?

Never stayed at a B&B. They're kind of expensive, and I'd be afraid of disturbing the host going in and out. (Also, most of the B&Bs I've read about try to serve this gourmet food to their clients, like fresh feta cheese sprinkled with Greek olives over spinach. Ughhhhhh....)

2. What determines where you stay?(i.e. price, accommodations, transportation, travel package)

Price, mostly, although real dumps are out. I don't go on vacation to endure insects, dirty surroundings, or noisy hourly quickies in the room next door.

3. When determining where to stay, do you ever consider the establishment's history? (i.e. it might be haunted, location of high profile crime)

Well, crime, yeah. Who wants to stay somewhere Mr. Don Capo got murdered at? But haunted? There are haunted Motel 6's?

4. Would such considerations sway your decision?

Yep.

5. Do you try and read the local paper for where you're visiting, to get an idea of what the area's like?

That's always good, but I'd do research first, too; maybe a book from the library or buy one about the region, or get a tourbook from the AAA.
