Context Poster

I researched the 1906 Lodge located just outside of San Diego. It was very interesting to learn how different B&B's are from hotels, inns and other resorts. A bed and breakfast is situated around a courtyard, in this case the lodge includes a garden and pool in their courtyard. Special amenities include pool side loungers and towels. Also they provide gourmet breakfast instead of just complementary breakfast seen at many average hotels. Also the rooms all have a different theme which makes every stay a different experience. I really like this aspect of a bed and breakfast because people do have different styles and definitions of aesthetics. This lodge goes from Japanese inspired rooms to patriotic American inspired rooms. The overall lobby and shared space of this bed and breakfast are more neutral, warm tones that will make people feel comfortable and as if they were at home rather than at a hotel. There is a great deal of thoughtfulness that went into the planning of such unique spaces that allow for multiple visual experiences. The rooms are very romantic and comfortable and allow the guests each their own access to a private balcony and spa tub. I would love to stay at this bed and breakfast to just experience the warmth of the environment in balance with the life on the beach.
