“BnB” means bed and breakfast, which of course has lost its meaning with Airbnb.
I knew someone whose family ran a small bed-and-breakfast (pre-web).
I don’t think they cooked all 3 meals but they did at least provide breakfast and brownbag lunch.
- respondo2134 4y agoWell the "Air" part is for air mattress, which is no longer true, if it ever was. The name was supposed to connotate a very spartan take on a traditional bed-and-breakfast. I've never heard of anyone booking all-inclusive travel through airbnb.
- ghaff 4y agoIn my experience, and I've stayed at a lot of them, BnBs usually have a hot sit down breakfast but it's not universal. I've certainly stayed at BnBs where the host is politely but firmly clear they're not there to entertain you and there will be coffee out in the morning and feel free to grab some yogurt from the fridge. While there is usually fruit and muffins that you can grab for lunch, they don't usually provide a brownbag lunch as such and rarely dinner.
- denton-scratch 4y agoI've been to hotels like that: yeah, there's a breakfast room; but breakfast is a plastic cup of coffee, a roll, and a packet of cornflakes. I hate staying in hotels, but one benefit is getting a nice hot breakfast served to you.
- ghaff 4y agoThe hotels with free breakfasts in the US tend to be pretty crappy buffets. Generally a lot different from what's served at a good BnB. But at least it's something and I'm not inclined to pay for a full breakfast given I don't normally eat one.
