Thanks for the advice! We do have a questionnaire that maybe 50% of our guests complete. I have yet to email anyone for reviews, but a follow up "thanks for your visit" email that included a request for it sounds like it may be a good option. I'm finding that people are leaving feedback on our...
This is hugely helpful, thank you so much! I'm learning as I go here, and have been very surprised to see the backside of things as opposed to viewing them from merely the consumer's perspective. (Also, thanks for the spammy advice - I'm not really familiar with using these types of forums - but...

Oh wonderful, thanks so much for both the advice and the positive feedback! I'm glad to hear that your stay with us was memorable! I appreciate the information, this is all new to me! We are currently paying for a business listing but I don't believe we'll be renewing it going forward. I've been...
