Alpine Bed and Breakfast

Alpine B&B is located on a quiet street a few blocks from the main drag. Its driveway can accommodate only a few cars, however, limitless parking is available on the street. Rooms are not large, and somewhat spartan in an old-fashion looking way. A pair of earplugs welcomes you on the night table, on an account that B&B is located a few blocks from the rail line. However they are totally unnecessary - our room was facing the rail line and the passing night train is just barely audible! It actually was kind of cool to hear it (we weren't asleep at the time, but if we were, the sound wouldn't wake us) As others have mentioned, Tom and Sharon are gracious hosts. And then there is the breakfast! Yes, its that good...and then some. In fact we started making a few if the items at home after Sharon shared the recipe.

We just finished a two-week road trip, staying in a different hotel almost every night. My wife and I judged Alpine Bed and Breakfast to be the best. What's not to like: -- The location is close to downtown with everything within walking distance. -- The rooms are huge. -- It seemed very clean. --The breakfast was out of this world (with probably 15 choices). They encourage you to try different menu items. -- The grounds are park-like. -- There's covered parking. -- The amenities -- shampoos, , bedding, robes, etc. -- are top notch. -- The wrap-around porch of this vintage house is made for sipping wine. -- The owners are pleasant people who are truly devoted to making your stay enjoyable. They have complied numerous pamphlets with local restaurant hours and menus as well as things to do around Alpine. -- If you stay in downtown Alpine, train noise can be bit much much for some people. Here, the trains are in the distance and are really kind of soothing. (Although ear plugs are provided.) -- There's a refrigerator for the guests that's stocked with water, soft drinks and juices. To be honest I can't really come up with any negatives. We have stayed in Alpine probably a dozen times over the years and, from now on, Alpine Bed and Breakfast will be our go-to accommodation.
