Here are the answers!
1. What's the difference between staying at a hotel and
staying at a bed and breakfast?
A bed and breakfast is a much more intimate lodging experience.
The owner/innkeeper will personally greet you, and each
guestroom is unique and lovingly decorated. As is the
case at a hotel, you will receive a key to the inn and
to your room, and you can come and go as you please.
You will also receive daily chamber maid service.
2. What meals will be served?
A complimentary breakfast is served each morning, and
you'll savor the conversation with other guests as much
as you will the meal. Our innkeeper will personally prepare
a scrumptious hot breakfast, and if you have any dietary
restrictions (salt-free, sugar-free, vegetarian, etc.),
just let us know when you reserve your stay, and we'll
be happy to accommodate you. We also serve afternoon
refreshments!
3. Can I check in late?
Our check-in time is from 2 pm to 7 pm. It's important
to let us know what time you expect to arrive, and courteous
to honor that. An innkeeper lives on the premises, and
we can arrange for late check-ins in advance. Unlike
at a hotel, there is no front desk manned 24 hours at
a small bed and breakfast.
4. What do I need to bring with me? Toiletries, robe
etc.
You should bring your own personal necessities, but we
do supply customized Akwaaba glycerin soap, shampoo/conditioner,
bubble bath and shower caps. And you'll fall in love with
our luxurious robes! Irons and hair dryers are also available.
5. I'll be celebrating a special occasion when I come
to visit. Are there any added touches you can provide?
We have a number of great packages, ranging from spa
treatments to champagne, strawberries and fresh whip
cream. Click on to special packages

6. Do you provide on-site parking?
Our inns are primarily located in urban environments,
so parking is at a premium. On-street parking is readily
available at our Brooklyn location, and Washington, D.C.,
offers limited on-site parking. Parking is especially
tight at our Washington, D.C., Dupont Circle location,
so we recommend using the subway, walking or taxis if
possible. Our Cape May and New Orleans inns have plenty
of private, on-site parking.
7. How far in advance do I need to make my reservation?
Rooms are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
Generally speaking, weekends book-up earliest (we can
almost always accommodate a weekday stay). In Brooklyn
and Cape May, we suggest you try to reserve at least
three weeks in advance for a weekend stay; our D.C. location
is larger, and weekend stays are more readily available
here. For the procrastinator in most of us, check out

8. How do I make a reservation?
You can check availability on our website, then call us
toll-free at 866-inn-dulj to reserve
your stay. If you're calling from New York City, dial
(718) 455-5958. For D.C. reservations, call 877-893-3233.
We will take your pertinent information by phone, and
send you confirmation of your reservation by email or
postage mail. Your reservation is secured with a 50 percent
deposit of the total cost of your stay. You can make this
payment with any major credit card, or you can mail a
check or money order if we receive it within seven days
of your arrival date. A drop-off cash payment is also
acceptable but should be pre-arranged. All reservations
for our D.C. location are booked by Bed and Breakfast
Accommodations at 877-893-3233.
9. What if I need to cancel my reservation?
We understand unforeseen circumstances may make it necessary
for you to cancel or postpone your stay. If you notify
us of such a need at least two weeks prior to your reserved
stay, we will be happy to refund your deposit, minus a
$20 handling fee. If you need to cancel after the 14th
day prior to your reserved stay, we will do our best to
rebook your room with another guest. If we are successful,
we will gladly refund your deposit, minus the $20 handling
fee. If we are unsuccessful and the room goes un-booked,
you will forfeit your deposit. Cancellation policies may
vary at our Washington, D.C. location.
10. Should I leave a tip for my innkeeper and/or
chambermaid?
If you have received outstanding service, it is customary
to leave a tip. A suggested amount for your chambermaid
is $5 per day, and any expression of kindness toward
your innkeeper is appreciated.
