In NFPA 101, facilities that provide sleeping rooms for paying guests within a dwelling are treated as rooming houses. A bed and breakfast fits this pattern because it offers multiple guest sleeping rooms inside a dwelling, often with meals provided on site, and is not a single-family home nor a full hotels-style operation. It isn’t categorized as a two-family dwelling, which is designed for residents from two families living independently; nor as an inn, which implies a larger, more hotel-like operation with broader services. It also isn’t residential boarding, which typically refers to long-term boarders living there rather than transient guests. So the most appropriate classification for a bed and breakfast under NFPA 101 is a rooming house.
