BED AND BREAKFAST
B&B民宿
An alternative to staying in a hotel, motel, or inn, a bed and breakfast (or B&B) provides accommodations in an owner-occupied home. A few rooms and bedrooms are made available for commercial use and serving breakfast to guests.
除了住在旅馆、汽车旅馆或客栈之外,还有一种住宿形式是提供住宿和早餐(或B&B)在业主家中自用的民宿。这些户主将一些房间和卧室对外出租作为商用,并为客人提供早餐。
Bed and breakfast establishments are good neighbors, as they have quiet customers, do not need much parking, and fit seamlessly into the fabric of the street. The bed and breakfast use can facilitate the adaptive reuse of large historic residential structures. The two primary benefits they bring to a community are (1) they are not heavy users of municipal services, especially compared with residential apartment conversions, and (2) they attract customers who bring tourism dollars to support nearby businesses.
这些民宿的经营者是非常好的邻居,因为它们有安静的顾客,不需要太多的停车位,而且与街道的结构适应的天衣无缝。B&b民宿的利用可以促进大型历史住宅建筑的适用性再利用。它们为一个社区带来的最基础的好处是:(1)他们不是市政服务的重度用户,特别是与住宅公寓的改造相比,(2)它们所吸引来的客户带来了旅游业的经济效益从而支持了当地的商业发展。
Guests may be accommodated in private bedrooms with private bathrooms, or in a suite of rooms including an en suite bathroom. Some homes have privatebedrooms with a bathroom, which is shared with other guests .Breakfast is served in the bedroom room, or the host’s kitchen.
客人或许是住在带有私人浴室的私人卧室,或者一间包括浴室的套房。有些房源则是有私人的卧室,但只有一间与其他客人共用的浴室。早餐是在卧室或主人的厨房供应。
B&Bs should be encouraged within existing zoning as an in-home occupation. Often the owners themselves prepare the breakfast and hire part-time employees to clean the rooms. This form of lodging is more personal than hotel or inn and embeds the guest into the culture and lifestyle of the community. The owner who lives in the community is usually familiar with events, places to visit, and local cuisines and haunts.
在现有的区划范围内,应鼓励民宿作为家庭营业的一种职业。通常情况下这些户主自己为客人准备早餐,并且雇佣一些兼职员工来清扫房间。这种形式比那些把客户强行拉入当地社区文化和生活方式的旅馆和客栈更加人性化,因为住在这个社区的户主通常熟悉各种活动、游览的地方、当地的美食以及值得去的的地方。
Many jurisdictions limit the number of nights the same guest can stay at a B&B. A longer-term and more affordable option is an extended-stay accommodation, which is a fully furnished apartment, cottage, or home. These are ideally suited for businesspeople under a limited-term contract,families visiting relatives, or people whose primary residence is under major renovation.
很多行政辖区限制同一个客户在一家民宿所住的天数,一个更长期更实惠的选择是延长居住在那些装修完善的公寓,小屋,或者家庭住宅的时间。这类民宿非常适合签订有限期限合同的商务人士、探亲访友的家庭或主要住宅正在进行大规模翻修的人士。
