The history of Bed and Breakfast’s in America date back to Colonial times where there were few places for travelers to stay. Beside the inns near coach stops, travelers relied on people opening their home for the night. During the Great Depression, many people opened their home as a way of earning extra income from those people traveling around but could not afford hotels.

When Americans began traveling to Europe after World War II, many experienced European Bed and Breakfasts and some were moved to open them in America. By the 1980’s and 1990’s, B&B’s evolved from simple furnishings to beautifully decorated rooms with modern amenities. San Diego Bed and Breakfasts offer a wide range of rooms to suit everyone’s needs. Some amenities that are offered in a Bed and Breakfast room are private bathroom, wireless internet, air conditioning, and cable.
