Today - getting back in the swing of posting summaries of the directory sites that end up in my email - I will start with one that caught me off guard.
Their email came to me, but with the wrong inn name listed in an apparently mangled merge attempt. A blunder I am sure - but it worked. It got me to open it and see what it was about. Inside, it suggested that I add some nearby cities to my listing (what listing?) specifically suggesting that I add Kirkland, and Seattle. Interesting considering that our Vermont Inn is about 3000 miles from those cities 
Anyhow, in the new format I will only use this section to list the details of the sites as found using Quantcast and Alexa etc… I will save the personal review and rating for the “Comments” alongside your reviews. This way the overall review score is cumulative and includes an average of mine and your opinions. So here goes the statistics:
The Stats:
Age of Domain: 3 years
Main Page Pagerank: 3 (higher is better)
Number of Inbound Links: 456 (higher is better)
AlexaRank: 1,474,794 (lower is better)
Quantcast Monthly Uniques: Unavailable
Alternate Domain Names: Yes (bedbreakfastnews.com and breakfasthome.com)
Direct Links to Your Website: No
Least Expensive Membership (annual): $28
Most Expensive Membership (annual): $38
Notes about Packages and Membership: Many Inns are listed here (don’t know where they got the data, but it’s not as outdated as many sites that seem to be “scraped” are). There are no links to your website unless you pay for membership.
Quantcast Summary: This site is not quantified and does not have enough traffic to be quantified automatically. The site owners should add their site to Quantcast for unified metrics to be available.
New Metric! Value: 134 (This value is calculated based on several factors shown above, including: Links, Traffic (Alexa), age of the domain, site category, domain keyword popularity, and overall occurrences of the domain name on the web. The higher this number the better.)

We are listed on this site with a “Free” listing that includes data from what looks like about 3 - 5 years ago. The listing does not include a link to our site so there is no way to report on weather it would generate any clickthroughs, but based upon the small number of inbound links and the lack of the sites appearance on any relative searches in Vermont, its unlikely.
There were no internal pages that were immediately obvious and had any pagerank. The main page only has a PR of 3, so its unlikely that there will be much google love coming to you from here.
On the upside, its really cheap so at least they are not trying to claim to be the next bnb.com (although the logo is a pretty close approximation to theirs). Perhaps if a search of your area shows them in the results, it would be worth paying the $28 to get listed.
Just a little note to say that the you have inserted the wrong url on your review. On mouse over, it goes to bedbreakfasehome dot com and an error message comes.
