A West Virginia innkeeper who started letting military families stay free for
Veterans Day in 2008 has recruited 400 inns across the U.S. and Canada as
part of an initiative to offer free rooms this fall.
Nearly 400 independently owned inns, including five in Canada, had signed on
to offer free rooms Nov. 10, the night before Veterans Day. Most of the
establishments are small: The average size of a bed-and-breakfast in the U.S.
is five or six rooms, according to an industry group. Some participants can
spare just a single room, while The Colonial Inn in Smithville, N.J., is
offering 20 of its 24.
A valid military or Veterans Administration ID is required for each
reservation.
Many innkeepers are ex-military, including 20-year Army veteran Jess Beaty,
who is making two rooms available at the 5 Continents Bed and Breakfast in
New Orleans, La. "I commanded a unit three times, and I just feel very
strongly we should take care of the troops," said Beaty, who offers discounts
to veterans year-round.
