The Lodging category is for sites that provide information relating to temporary accommodations available to the traveling public. Lodging is further sub-categorized under the headings of Bed and Breakfasts, Hostels, Hotels and Motels, Inns, Resorts and Vacation Rentals. Vacation Rentals include cabins, condos, cottages, and homes made available for extended stays.

AAA classifies a Bed and Breakfast as a limited service lodging type with the following definition;"Usually smaller establishments emphasizing a more personal relationship between operators and guests, leading to an "at home" feeling. Guest units tend to be individually decorated. Rooms may not include some modern amenities such as television and telephones, and may have a shared bathroom. Usually owner-operated, with a common room or parlor, separate from the innkeeper's living quarters, where guests and operators can interact during evening and breakfast hours. Evening office closures are normal. A continental or full, hot breakfast is served and is included in the room rate."
(Quoted from the AAA. "New York TourBook". Buffalo, NY: AAA Publishing. 1999)

Using the AAA classification of an Inn as a moderate service lodging type with the following definition;"Although similar in definition to a bed and breakfast, country inns are usually larger in size, provide more spacious public areas and offer a dining facility that serves at least breakfast and dinner. May be located in a rural setting or downtown area."

Submit sites that are state-wide in scope, presenting comparative information about resort facilities across the state. Sites that refer to individual resorts should be submitted to the locality where the facility exists. |
Resorts are a destination for vacation travelers and those planning retreats, rather than simply being a place to stay while in an area. They offer features for holiday travelers over and above those provided by other lodgings. The amenities and surroundings of resorts are more important than the localities they're close to.
