Accuracy on our city page is a real problem and Trap A has zero interest in fixing it. There are B&B's listed as being 20 miles from us that are actually 40. There are properties that are listed in two categories (B&B and VR) and, because they want the revenue, they encourage the property to...

It was down briefly - don't know why

Now now now Hold on a minute. You have to remember that I've only been doin` this 6 years and I am a long ways behind you on experience and I know nothing about your business. I really was just thinking in very general terms. You've got your routine, it works, you're full during the summer, and...

It didn't say for FREE, it said cater- that means MONEY in your pocket. It didn't say reception, it said three rooms for 11 room nights. Some of the best times at our place are when the guests know each other. Everyone is really relaxed. Like I said- different strokes for us.

Hmmm.... Am I the only that didin't see anything unusual about couples traveling together. We get that every so often. Heck - we travel with friends. I guess we are a different sort of inn.

That would be a welcome shift.

I pulled rates from $69 on their site

We have a few standard comments that address most of the usual questions folks have. It is nearly rote after 6 years, but we try to keep it fresh as new information comes to us about changes. BUT truly, we consider concierge services to be an important advantage over hotels, which are often...

January in Vegas is NOT HOT, like it is COLD. BUT it ain't MN OR VT OF COURSE we might go anyway- got friends there we need to see and it might be fun to meet some of our innkeeping friends there.

.......and the hits keep coming. www.nytimes.com/2012/01/27/technology/for-2-a-star-a-retailer-gets-5-star-reviews.html

One of the first things I did was notify TR UP I was notifying the CC company. They say they saw the authorization but can't dispute it until it posts. Maybe they will void it. We will see. Really - more than anything - it's about how they see our relationship. It's a one-way street. It's all...

CAUTION - VENTING AHEAD! I posted on the 24th that we had taken the leap and canceled our Trap A link. They were supposed to confirm by email. No email. I contacted them on the 25th. Absolutely, they said. The link was canceled and we would not be charged. They would send an email to confirm...

YOU hit the nail on the head when you said, "THEY LIKED THE EXPERIENCE" ALSO We had that same question. We have a grey line of 10 years old for kids. We have young return guests that had a baby after their second visit. Guess what? They and their young son will always be welcome at our home. It...

So we do away with the dollie stereotype and resurrect the Bates Motel stereotype. HMMMM... The one I thought did a great job was the one that talked about the things you'll find at a real B&B. I must be boring to think that if you just tell people why you are a great value, they'll get it...

So I thought I should start a new thread rather than hijack... We have been working on VALUE VALUE VALUE during these difficult economic times. It just doesn't make sense to me that the focus of this campaign is on changing the image of an industry that is so diverse. To me, for what its worth...

Great! Just great! IT is really important to avoid compromising the things that work for you.

So what would prevent you from planning promoting and sponsoring an event at the farm or vineyard?

This is almost another thread, but what I wonder is if all this stuff is being pushed at the innkeeping show. We have an innkeeper friend who has pushed their gross way up but they still don't seem to be able to realize a net gain. Spending a thousand on marketing to make a thousand and one...

I could not find a way to alter that info on line so that it would not work and they only offer you an option to switch to monthly. Until recently, they made it so difficult to reach them, it was like you had to pay.

Well the year in review is complete and the ruanway winner is ORGANIC, with local partner links and local and state tourism links coming in a strong second and third. When I factor in the natural migration from review sites and the target market for our inn, it just doesn't make sense to...
