If you're beginning to feel like a tired road warrior from all those business trips, you need to get out of the rut. Dump that stale hotel room and search for a little more relaxation and travel experience -- try a bed and breakfast instead.

Not only will you avoid the anonymous rooms, noisy hallways, and pricey industrial continental breakfasts but you will actually feel you have had a pleasant little getaway that will spark your creative energy.

ILoveInns.com, the best source for distinctive B&Bs and Country Inns, has some timely proposals for your consideration.

Providence: Christopher Dodge House B&B - Want to experience the luxurious life of 19th-century Providence, Rhode Island? The Christopher Dodge House B&B is an 1858 three-story brick Italianate mansion that, while updated, still offers 11-foot ceilings, marble fireplace mantels, ornate plaster moldings and many original tin ceilings. Named for the family who built this mansion, the inn offers a computer, Wi-Fi Internet access and many other amenities.

Cincinnati: Weller Haus B&B - Cincinnati's Weller Haus B&B consists of two beautifully preserved, side-by-side 1880s homes in Taylor Daughter's Historic District. They feature an English Garden and water pond outdoors, plus fireplaces and two-place Jacuzzi tubs in the rooms. For business travelers, Weller Haus provides hi-speed wireless connections, office supplies, copying, fax machine mailing, phones, in-room coffee service, and the ability to enjoy breakfast on your schedule. There's easy 24-hour security access to the Inn and a laundry/dry cleaning service as well.

Sacramento: The Amber House - This California bed and breakfast is within blocks of the capitol. The inn utilizes two 1905 historic homes. Enjoy the inviting guest rooms and relax in front of a fire or in the whirlpool tubs in each of the Italian marble bathrooms. The gourmet morning meal is served in your room. Desks come with each room and a variety of services are available for those who travel on business. Impress your clients by using the inn's dining room for your meetings.

Depending on the bed and breakfast inn you stay at, many also participate in the iLoveInns.com Buy-One-Night-Get-The-Second-Night-Free program. Cut a few dollars from your travel budget by selecting one of the 1,500 B&Bs that participate in the special program.
