double room for unmarried couple at B&Bs?
Begemann
I'm planning a round trip throgh New-England with my boyfriend.
we'd like to stay at small ins or B&Bs. After hearing some
reports ( I hope german prejudices) of the new england moral
I wonder if we have to pretend being married or at leeast
engaged if we want to avoid difficulties getting a double
room.
Would someone please state that times have changed ?
(n germany I think nobody asks nowdays)

I would seriously doubt this would be much of a problem. (I'm from New
England originally, and I can attest that we have no morals whatsoever
:-)) I doubt anyone would ask. You might save yourself trouble by not
volunteering the information, but I doubt that would matter much either.

No need to worry about B & B's in New England. First of all, we would
never dream of intruding on our guests' privacy by asking if they're
married or not. Why would we care? In New Hampshire we don't have any
laws that I'm aware of saying we can't rent to unmarried people.
Besides, so many women retain their maiden names when they marry, that
you never know. We just assume people are together because they want to
be and their marital status is irrelevant to us. Our primary purpose is
to do the best we can to make sure you have a good time and a wonderful
experience so you'll go home and tell all your friends, families, and
colleagues how wonderful our hospitality was. If you need more info
about New England, please feel free to email us directly.

Carola,
Over the years I have stayed, with my boyfriend, at a few B&B's in PA and NJ
in small towns with no problem. No one has asked if we were married nor did
they seem to care. I think you can safely plan on going and being
graciously received without having to explain your relationship. And if
someone has a problem, go somewhere else. After all, it's your money and
you should be made to feel comfortable!!!

I believe your fears are unfounded. My boyfriend and I have gone to
B&B's in the New England area and we have never been given a hard time
over not being married or engaged. Curious people may ask a question
or two, though. :-)

I just got back from Kennebunkport- our stay at a B&B was great and noone
was nosy enought to ask about whether my boyfriend and I were
married...and I doubt they cared....
