Our answers.

* Are reservations needed?
 
     Advance reservations at the University Avenue Bed & Breakfast are necessary.  On our 'Events, Availability & Reservations' page we have upcoming events and our guest rooms' availability listed for those events.  We also let you know if we are taking a waiting list.  Our website uses 'Webervations' for checking availability and making a reservation online.

     We recommend that you call us or check online to be sure a room is available when you begin to plan your visit.  In order for us to 'hold' the room you've requested, we have to have either a credit card number or a cash/check as a deposit.  The deposit will be 50% of the total amount due for your entire length of stay.

* Cost, Payment, Discounts, Gift Certificates:

     Our nightly rates are: Peach Room- $105.00; Mauve & Blue Rooms- $95.00 each, White Room- $90.00

     The total cost for a nights stay at our B&B is the nightly rate plus 11.35% in taxes.  Here is how the 11.35% in taxes breaks down.  There is a 4% city lodging tax and a 7.35% sales tax.  All B&B's vary, especially with taxes, so don't hesitate to ask if you have a question about the cost breaks down.

    Payment for staying at our B&B is made with credit cards; we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express; Cash or check, or a purchased gift certificate from either B.B.I.M. or the University Avenue Bed & Breakfast (U.A.B.B.).

    Discounts are given for the following only:  Military personnel and families- 15%, Mizzou Alumni Association members- 10%, rental of all 4 guest rooms by a family or group- 15%, and extended stays (5 nights or more) please ask for rates.

    We do sell gift certificates as well as donate gift certificates to many organizations which are sold at auctions.  These gift certificates are valued at $100 and are valid for a room with a Queen bed (Mauve, Blue & White).  Upgrades to the Peach room with a U.A.B.B. gift certificate are accepted, with payment of balance above the $100 gift certificate value.  Our state B&B association (B.B.I.M.) also has gift certificates available for all B&B's within the association that can be used here at the University Avenue Bed & Breakfast.  Please visit their website through our 'Helpful Links' page.

     The University Avenue Bed & Breakfast does have a frequent stay program.  We call it the "Many Happy Returns" program.  How it works is the first time you come, we give you a card with a stamp on it.  Each time you come after that you get another stamp, one stamp per visit, until you get all 5 required stamps.  Once the card has all 5 stamps we give you a special gift certificate that is valid for any one of our 4 guest rooms.

* Cancellations, smoking/alcohol, check-in/check-out, minimum stay:

* Do you serve breakfast?
 
     It is our practice to serve & include breakfast at no additional cost. At the University Avenue Bed & Breakfast we serve a FULL breakfast because we want you to be full.  If your not and would like more, just ask us, we'll make more.  For those that need to leave very early in the morning, we provide an 'on the go' breakfast: a choice of bagel, some fresh fruit and coffee or tea in a handy to-go drinking cup.  We serve our hearty breakfast from 7:30am - 9:00am.

     Our breakfasts begin with a fruit starter; apple dumplings, strawberry & blueberry parfaits, mango smoothie just to mention a few.  Then we serve up an entree of either an egg dish; a few guest favorites are: Eggs Benedict, vegetable frittata, egg & sausage casserole all are served with biscuits or homemade toast and fresh fruit.  Or the main dish will be bread dish, something like: Pumpkin pancakes, waffles with caramelized bananas, oven baked pecan French toast all are served with eggs or breakfast meat and fresh fruit. All our breakfast come with coffee- regular & decaf (French press on request), tea (we have a huge selection), milk & juice. 

     We asks our guests about any food allergies, special diets or food dislikes when a reservation is made, so please tell us if one of those applies to you.  It will make our job of planning the menu that much easier.

* What kind of beds are available?

     Our Peach room has a King bed, which is convertible to two twins upon advanced request.  The Mauve, Blue and White rooms all have one Queen Bed in each of them.  For photo's, please click on our 'Guest Rooms' link.

* Are children welcome? Can they stay in the same room?

     Guests who wish to bring children must call us first.  Even though we like kids, we may not always be able to accommodate them.

     All four of our guest rooms can accommodate a maximum of only 2 guests per room.

* Is the B&B open all year? Does the nightly rate increase at peak times?
