If you're like most of us, when you travel you're used to stopping in one of the highly visible chain motels and hotels that dot our countryside. Many offer inducements to return. Stay two nights and get a third night free. Complimentary breakfast with waffles, and so on. In case you haven’t noticed, even the no-frills budget stopovers have raised their prices too but when you plan a visit to the Dallas area, you really should get your mind out of the box. The box, in this case, being that motel you spent a couple of nights in during your last visit.

If you've never spent a night or two in a bed and breakfast, you really have no idea of what you're missing. In the Dallas area, The Sanford House has become legend.
