If you’re planning on traveling to Llandudno, you might have the option of staying in either a hotel or at a bed and breakfast (B&B). While the B&B might seem like the more adventurous choice, here are some of the advantages of choosing to stay in a hotel over a B&B. These benefits can help your trip go off without any problems, while still helping you save money at the same time.
Free parking
Many bed and breakfasts require guests to provide their own transportation—thereby negating one of hotels’ biggest strengths. If you plan on driving to your destination, it’s well worth searching for hotels that offer free parking; in many destinations, these are few and far between. Don’t waste valuable vacation time looking for a place to park your car—find an affordable hotel with plenty of space! Furthermore, since most hotel parking is available at no cost or at low rates (depending on the area), not only will you save time by avoiding the search for parking, but you’ll also save money by not having to pay expensive hourly rates.
Extra Nights
At some bed and breakfasts, reservations must be made weeks or even months in advance. Why book so far ahead when hotels in North Wales often have rooms available just days before arrival? At a hotel you have much more flexibility for your holiday or business trip due to the vast amount of rooms and guests they can accommodate.
Free WiFi
It can be hard to focus on work when you’re trying to get things done and check in with your boss—not to mention, hotel guests may need to stay connected while they’re traveling. That’s why it’s important for hotels to offer free high-speed internet so that guests can stay connected as much as possible. A big perk of staying at a hotel is the fact that there’s usually no cost associated with checking emails or streaming videos, however, at b&bs you may be expected to pay extra for this service.
Getting around is easier
Hotels are located near main thoroughfares that connect to public transportation, making getting around easy. Many hotels also offer free shuttles to nearby attractions and other locations. That’s not something you typically get at a bed-and-breakfast. Also, when you book a hotel room, you get to rest easy knowing that someone else is in charge of ensuring there are clean sheets and towels every day. At a bed-and-breakfast, it can be hit or miss.
Guests have more privacy
A lot of people say that they prefer staying at a bed and breakfast because they get to meet new people or hear some interesting stories, but in reality you’re getting up close and personal with your hosts. It can be great if you’re looking for an opportunity to swap travel stories, but if you just want to get away from everything then staying in a hotel is probably better. Hotels are also more likely to have private parking, which b&bs often don’t offer.
Less expensive meals
Hotels offer 24-hour room service—so you can get food whenever you want it. Eating in restaurants is expensive, but if you’re working long hours, you may not have time to cook meals yourself. At hotels, restaurant food tends to be more affordable than at a typical restaurant.
