Nothing more than a glorified Bed & Breakfast.
Why isn't it open for everyone?

"2. The restaurant and lounge shall be limited to guests of the inn. The restaurant and lounge shall not be open to the general public"

Does this mean if you have out of town relatives/frends staying at the Steele Mansion you would be forbidden to visit with them in the lounge or restaurant. This is absolutely preposterous!

Maybe the family should get out of the Inn business and raise rabbits on there property instead? No rules or regulations about rabbits raising in Painesville. Then watch the neighbor flip!

I'd like to know just who City Manager McMahon and council think they are to legislate this business this way. This is beyond unbelievable. If I were these people, I would be so sorry that I chose to have this business in Painesville. They are probably thinking that if they could move that building to another city, they would.

I do, however, see one piece of legislation missing. They forgot to forbid them to flush any toilets, or for that matter, USE any toilets, after 10:00 p.m. for fear of disturbing the neighbors and the city.

And the citizens just keep voting these people in.

These restrictions are actually fairly common. Look at regulations of Bed and Breakfasts in other areas....

Exactly its an INN not a Bed & Breakfast. Or am I wrong?

I'm just trying to understand all this. What is the difference between an Inn and a Bed and Breakfast?

Looking for help here. Anyone care to explain?

The Main Difference

The main difference between a bed and breakfast and an inn is the type of food that is served. A bed and breakfast usually consists of a bed and a breakfast (as the name suggests). An inn, on the other hand, often offers all three meals, though a breakfast is usually included in the prices. Both types of accommodations tend to have similar rooms, common rooms, and amenities, though this depends on the size of the bed and breakfast or inn that you choose.

Some bed and breakfasts are located inside of small homes where a family or manager resides. These lodgings are often quaint and small. Inns tend to be larger than bed and breakfasts, though this might not always be the case. No matter which one you choose, don’t expect either to have an indoor pool or bar, since these accommodations are not part of large hotel chains.

Commonalities

Bed and breakfasts and inns are not for everyone. If you don’t enjoy mingling with other guests and dining with people who are staying at the same place, look for a large hotel. However, you might find that staying at a small inn or bed and breakfast opens your eyes to another way of life. If you stay at an inn or bed and breakfast located on a farm, you might find something great and wonderful to explore. The same is true for any accommodation located in an unusual place.

Inns tend to be slightly bigger than bed and breakfasts. However, both of these lodgings tend to offer comfortable rooms that include quaint decorations. For example, you might find down comforters or handmade quilts inside of a bed and breakfast or inn. You probably won’t find a Jacuzzi bathtub or 5-star staff.
