addition, BBonline offers members a discount

Q: How does
the inspection
program work?
A: The purpose
of the BBAA Standards is to ensure Alabama
bed and breakfast guests a quality experience
when visiting any member inn. The Quality
Standards Review is structured to help participating
inns provide a comfortable and secure environment,
and assure a consistent quality standard
B&B goers can rely on when choosing
a bed and breakfast in the State of Alabama.
A standards review is mandatory for all
members of the Bed & Breakfast Association
of Alabama.
Inspections
are performed on new member properties prior
to approval, and every two years for member
properties. Inspectors are third
party professionals
in the hospitality industry and are trained,
in accordance with these guidelines, by
the Standards Review Chairperson and/or
the Executive
Director of BBAA. The inspector is
responsible to the BBAA Board as a whole
and not to any one person or member. It is the responsibility
of the Board to pass or fail any member
property based on the objective and unbiased
summary prepared by the inspector.
Local and
state Health Code and Building Regulations
supersede any and all of the following criteria.
Some Historical Properties may be exempt
from certain criteria based on local ordinances.
Check with your local officials and be prepared
to show proof of exemption to inspector.
Additional information concerning inspections
and standards can be found here.

the privileges of the Association except
