Bernice Chesler's Bed & Breakfast in New England: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont - Who could resist? The Adams House in Mystic, Connecticut, is just one of the 400 bed and breakfasts selected by Bernice Chesler for inclusion in the sixth edition of Bed & Breakfast in New England. Each state's chapter opens with a map that shows B & B locations by number; a corresponding list appears on the facing page. Standard guidebook information is enhanced by thoughtful descriptions that often include details about the histories of the homes and how the owners came to operate the bed and breakfasts. The uniqueness of these B & Bs stretches beyond the individually decorated rooms. If you stay for three days at Rose Apple Acre Farms in Vermont, for example, you can learn how to make a porcelain doll, which you can then take home with you. Many of the listings include comments from former guests who confirm Chesler's glowing recommendations.

My preferred hotel chain is Marriott. I have stayed Residence Inns, which are prefect for longer stays with all the comforts of home; Spring Hill Suites, which I have found nice for longer stays as the have up to 25% more room than comparably priced rooms; Towne Place Suites, again when I want more room or am on a longer stay; Courtyard by Marriott, which has everything the business traveler needs, as well as families; Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, which I find spacious, comfortable and affordable. Another great idea is to stay at one of the JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts where you can enjoy a new dimension for your vacation or holiday. and Marriott Hotels and Resorts and have found them all to be of consistent quality and service. I have also stayed at some of their Vacation Club properties and have enjoyed each visit. AAA members can get discount rates at Marriott, as can Seniors.
