The Value of a B&B Stay

Have you ever stopped to think about how much money you are saving when you choose to stay at a bed and breakfast versus a hotel? I did a quick calculation of a two night stay for two people, and the dollars really added up! The majority of people that come to Galveston come here for the beach, so using that as a example, here's what I came up with:

  • Complimentary full, delicious home cooked breakfast every day of your stay $50
  • Complimentary bottled water, soft drinks, coffee, tea and snacks $20
  • Complimentary movies for your room $10
  • Free parking $10
  • Use of beach chairs, umbrella, boogie boards (versus renting) $20
  • Use of bicycles (versus renting) $40
  • Skipping lunch because you're still full from breakfast! $50
  • No tax on any of the above items $20
These add up to over a $200 savings for a two day stay! If you are coming to Galveston for a cruise, add $50 to that savings for the free cruise parking that we offer for the entire length of your cruise.

Staying at a bed and breakfast versus a hotel just makes cents (and dollars)!
