UGH! Had one of those yesterday. We have a terrible parking problem in our town - too many visitors, too few parking spaces. The Mayor appointed me, as a board member of our Business Assoc, to work with a city council member and a downtown property investor to come up with solutions. We've...

Got a dusting of snow on Saturday. Wet, windy, nasty all day. Sunday was chilly, but sunny & beautiful. Yesterday I woke up to 22*, but it peaked at 60* and beautiful again. This was our front yard on Saturday morning.

Welcome to your new home away from home! Re: Pushy credit card processors - if you don't mind lying, I've got a line for you. Tell them that you are required to have your processing through your bank because you got your business loan from them. Shuts them right up. That's the situation we...

A guest referred to this morning's breakfast as "fine". I was in the kitchen and yelled out, "Fine!? That's all I get?" met with silence... oh well

Yes, I completely agree. The employees are the front lines - they need to make the experience memorable and amazing. Especially at an all-inclusive resort. They should be so sticky-sweet and accommodating that you can't imagine going anywhere else.

I just recently noticed that I was using them too often. Mostly on FB. And I sit there trying to decide what punctuation to put at the end of the post. An ! might be too strong, a . might be to meh. Often lately, I put nothing, leaving it open ended, non-committal. It's just how I roll!

The majority of us are not employees. We take a guests' stay very personally and want to make sure it's the best it can possibly be. Employees have no deep rooted desire for the business to succeed. They are clocking in and getting a paycheck. Us Innkeepers need you to leave happy...

Honestly, I'd rather have Thanksgiving with y'all. I'll leave it at that.

I'd love to know more about these no milk muffins you speak of. I've had alot of no-milk people lately and it breaks my heart that they can't have my yummy muffins.

it's prime season here now - leaves are changing & every town has an apple festival going on. We get the same people with kids that didn't make prior plans for lodging. It's so irresponsible! We are telling callers that they are out of luck. Our town is sold out and so are the three other...

Congrats to you!

I do the same, but I'm always so disappointed in how they rise. Sometimes I'll have 14 for breakfast - a fresh batch makes 12, so I'll take two from the freezer. I'm almost embarrassed to serve the two frozen ones with the others, they are so puny and boring looking. I tried to thaw them in...

Great information - I hadn't thought about that. Thanks!

I like to look at monthly % occupancy mainly to compare to last year's % to judge our success. If you just look at revenue, it can be misleading. We had a ton of advance reservation deposits taken in August for Sept & Oct. It seemed as if Aug was was up, but the % occupancy was the same as...

The only stereotyping that usually happens at my place is by the other innkeeper in regards to food. She sees a little ol' lady and thinks she eats like a bird and wants to give her smaller portions than everyone around her. She sees a big burly man and wants to pile his plate up and offer him...

Are you charging him for the damage? Especially since he's apologized and kinda owned up to it?

Was standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower and met a couple from the town we flew in from. go figure...

That porch looks so inviting and comfortable. I just want to make a cold drink and sit there all afternoon!
