    Right to refuse service list?

    I need to learn how to break it off. I end up talking to people for too long. I never know how to slip away lol I think I would have been more open to their suggestions if it hadn’t started with them saying they hope they are our worst guests yet lol!!

    Right to refuse service list?

    **the headboard lighting is separate from the dim raised ceiling string lights. I made it sound like they were one in the same. So there’s three options for lighting in the room all providing different levels and kelvins.

    Right to refuse service list?

    Oh yeah! I get it! They said we should hang a hook on the back of the door, and we did. We understand reasonable feedback but not rebuilding custom made kitchenette furniture or pulling out the electrical! There are many sources of lighting in our rooms. We have the typical recess lighting which...

    Right to refuse service list?

    It’s great that you are connected with the other innkeepers in your area in a way that can benefit all of you! I’m hoping to get there one day. My husband keeps saying “I want to be partners not competitors” regarding the other places in our town. You’re lucky!

    Right to refuse service list?

    I’m open to reasonable requests, just not from people who keep telling me they hope they are my worst guests yet! Lol!! I’m not a monster! And he didn’t have just the angry look he had the “I’m judging everything you’re doing” kind of look! We all know “the look”. It’s hard to specify through text!

    Hello! New Innkeepeers here!

    Thank you so much for the advice. I don’t know if hiring help is much of an option at this point. We are so new, and my parents who do it all on their own would never let us live it down!! Lol Also, because of where we are there are no laundry service companies, that we can find at least. We...

    Booking sites

    No we do not. We only ever knew about booking and Expedia! I really want to eliminate the control it feels these third party sites have over my policies. My husband and I are probably going to add one of these recommendations to the mix! Thank you so much!

    Right to refuse service list?

    Let me add that we built the rooms we did the work and we put $10k in updates in each of our king rooms! They aren’t changing any time soon.

    Right to refuse service list?

    Hello, This is a long one. Tell me your “I will never host these people again” stories! Only three months in and I already have what I call a “right to refuse service” list. We just debuted two fully renovated “Deluxe King Rooms”. This place we took over had sat vacant for three years. It...

    Bachelorette "Ceremony"

    My parents also own an inn within the same town we are located. She told me her bachelorette party story. They rented multiple rooms and gathered inside one room. Hired a male exotic dancer. We are in a remote town kind of on the outskirts from true civilization. You have to drive at least an...

    Hello! New Innkeepeers here!

    How exciting to have a space to go and interact with other B&B hosts and innkeepers! My husband and I took over a log cabin “motel” in Michigan’s upper peninsula back in January 2021. We opened in March, but half of the building was closed as we made updates and repairs. Over the winter we...

    Booking sites

    Hello, We use booking(.com) and I hate it. I’m interested to look in to the other alternatives I’m seeing posted about. Does anyone else here use booking? We are very new, so we do not get access to certain things like credit card information. This means we cannot enforce our three day...
