We love sharing about our town and our favorite spots, says Becca Graham.

So dont be shy to ask!

Soak in the full experience

Take time to smell the rosesliterally or figuratively, advises Graham.

A stay at an inn is a great opportunity to slow down and relax.

Leave your keys

This isnt a “room card as a souvenir” situation!

Relax and enjoy the hospitality!

On the flipside of that, its courteous to treat a B&B as you would your home.

and remembering to use a black not white towel when taking off your makeup.

If you enjoy your B&B stay, consider telling a friend or leaving an online review.

But be careful with your ratings, says Graham.

A 4-star review is a bad review.

If you enjoyed your stay, leave a 5-star review.
