As you know we are a tiny motel, 8 rooms, while we have 3 size rooms (one bed, two beds, two and a half beds) and prices vary according to size. In the past all were decorated pretty much the same as one would expect in a hotel. It is now getting time to freshen up things a bit, for practical reasons, mattresses, TV's and furnishing will remain pretty much the same between rooms, so I guess my question is "do you feel it would be an advantage to make the rooms more individual, paint, carpet, spreads". I sort of think it would be nice to offer choices.
Because rooms (in each category) have the same general features we have reserved the option to shift folks to a different room of the same or larger size, but for the most part rooms are of the same quality and guests generally stay in the room where they were written at the time of reservation.
Just searching for your valuable thoughts.
 
No. I think you are best going with a consistent fresh look. Makes housekeeping much easier and parts interchangeable.
 
I think it's great that you're thinking outside the box. Even if you keep the linen consistent you could still "accessorize" each room a little differently. My rooms have themes. People like my moose room and my east coast room themes even though I am not geographically close to either.
 
You can freshen up (and perk up) with drapes, paintings but definitely keep linens interchangeable. Do you use same color for all rooms or same color for all rooms of a type?
My sheets were purchased with the colors in that room in mind. Burgundy sheets are OK now, but not as great in the room that queen was moved to. Both the (now) queen rooms are similar in decor now. And I must admit, it IS easier to just grab a set of sheets from the Queen shelf.
 
I think having different bedding in the rooms would be nice and might encourage repeat guests to 'try a different room'. Set yourselves a bit apart from the 'standard' motel look. (Except you really should have those metal chairs outside that everyone remembers from the 50's-60's!)
Fresh paint goes a loooong way to making everything perk up. Maybe all the same bedding colors for the same size beds? (Like generic said that makes it easier for housekeeping.) With that pop of color that was mentioned by having throw pillows or different pictures on the walls.
I think I'd stick with the same color flooring in each room because it's cheaper to buy it that way. Whether it's carpet or tile.
 
See we are 11 rooms and every one is different, linens are all the same but have different cushions, runners and curtains - its swings and roundabouts.
 
I don't know if you use these now, but if you do, motel style bedspreads have got to go. Whether or not they are laundered frequently, the perception is that they are dirty. The moment I go into a motel/hotel room I pull that thing off and throw it in the corner on the floor. As much of a hassle as it can be, white is the color guests want to see. You can then use splashes of color and put on those scarfs at the bottom of the bed that have color.
Have you ever watched Hotel Impossible? You can stream them on Netflix. Before you do anything in your rooms, I would suggest you binge watch those. We've made some changes and it also gets us to step up our game because of Anthony's suggestions. It's amazing how his designers take an older motel room and modernize it but still give it a unique feel.
I would use the same color linens for all the rooms, but decorate with different colors.
When changing any decor, think minimal, uncluttered and create many flat, empty surfaces so the guests have plenty of space for their own things.
I think the most important thing is to have fun doing it. It's a great way to continue whatever theme your place has.

Beds/linen - at present all beds are queens, either one queen, two queens or two queens and one twin in our larger 2 rooms which work well for larger families or perhaps several guys travelling together. By sticking with the queens it makes it simpler if we need to upgrade someone to a larger room as the beds are all equal. Linen is all a pale green at present, still servicable at present.
Rooms right now are all same color, pale green, darker green below a chair rail, deep red on an accent wall, most baths are pale green with flowers painted on the walls. I generally like the way the colors are split, but thinking of different variations in different rooms. Carpets are varied based on whatever the big box store had in stock the day I decided to purchase carpet, not bad yet, but time I want to improve.

Linen and housekeeping items would be the same between rooms, thinking along the lines of same general look in multiple colors if that makes any sense.

Except for a twin bed in our two largest rooms (sort of a permanent roll-a-way) all beds and linen are the same, pale green linen, next swap would probably go back to white. Have ordered some throw pillows to add that flash of color.
Hopefully carpet folks will come look today, I wouldn't be purchasing in roll quantity and I don't think the shape and size of the rooms are such that changing colors between rooms will matter much with cost. Thinking two choices, [a] have the carpet shop do the work using maybe a mix of red, green and blue in different rooms or a grey carpet with some bronze highlights (cheaper from big box store) and lay it myself as I paint the rooms, estimate 75 or 80% less than the carpet shop, but more work on me.
I like some of those old metal chairs, but present porch benches are heavy wood as I got tired of chasing the plastic chairs around the parking lot during the winter, I'd wake up to a whoosh and look out to find the chairs in a pile.

While I don't disagree with you I sort of got overuled by ideas from wife and daughter on my bedspread thoughts and since they do the work sometimes I know when to hush. Maybe our guests don't watch the program you mention as most seem to use the existing spreads. I expect we may also get a more varied group of guests than many on the forum.

I'm going to echo Diva here about losing the bedspreads. Those hotel shows are very popular Among Your Guests - and the bright more minimal look:
1. gives the immediate feeling of 'ah, clean' and
2.is pleasing to millennials, your soon to be target group if it isn't already.
This is an issue worth discussing, researching - as Diva said, have a popcorn and binge watch family night, and thinking seriously about.
Our business depends on the impressions of our guests.

Because you are on here, my guess is you really care about your property. Gomez makes me stay at a motel when we travel to see the kid. The spreads in that motel should be burned. The backs are white and there are hideous stains all over them. On the floor they go. Then I wrap the edge of the sheet around the blanket and hope for the best.
Solid color bedding is the best. Those floral, stripey spreads are awful.

It is surprising how much a coat of paint will change a room. We have a cream color on the walls in 2 rooms to make them "feel" bigger and both ended up with sage green trim. The Gillum has a pale pinkish (I think the color was called apple blossom) with a 10 inch wallpaper border at the top of the walls that has a burgundy & gold with lilac tones I think. I have changed things up a bit with new drapes and quilts because I know I have no sense of decor. What we have now is what the house told me to do. Sounds weird, but that really is what happened.
I have never had bedspreads. I use quilts summer and comforters in duvets in winter.

Hopefully carpet folks will come look today, I wouldn't be purchasing in roll quantity and I don't think the shape and size of the rooms are such that changing colors between rooms will matter much with cost. Thinking two choices, [a] have the carpet shop do the work using maybe a mix of red, green and blue in different rooms or a grey carpet with some bronze highlights (cheaper from big box store) and lay it myself as I paint the rooms, estimate 75 or 80% less than the carpet shop, but more work on me.
I like some of those old metal chairs, but present porch benches are heavy wood as I got tired of chasing the plastic chairs around the parking lot during the winter, I'd wake up to a whoosh and look out to find the chairs in a pile.

I would pay to not have carpet in a hotel/motel.
You aren't asking about this, but you are asking...there are so many other options these days and you can sweep it up, wipe it down, and not stain or absorb smells. (This says ME who had to fork out bucks yesterday to have some carpets cleaned by the steamer guys, which I would rather never ever do! and it is on the list to be torn out).

Totally agree! Check the other options for flooring. If we had good between floor insulation I'd rip the carpet out next week.

Imagine being pet friendly at that point, people would stop from NY/NJ to FLA - half way if they could have their pet stay there, I get calls ALL THE TIME. Today, I had one. You could double your rates if you allowed pets, not kidding.

This has nothing to do with the different type of guests we get. It's from personal experience. Personally when I travel we stay at so many types of places. From Mom & Pop places to castles and everything in between. This is not about b&b guests.
I also agree with JB to rip out those carpets and put in some other kind of flooring. There are so many inexpensive flooring options now. We just ripped out the carpet in our cottage and put laminated hardwood flooring. It's so much easier to clean! Now that room became pet friendly with no worries.
 
Hi, glad you are thinking about redecorating. We have a beachy B and B. In our guest rooms we use beach themed quilts over white linens. The quilts are lightweight and are easy to wash. On the windows we have solid roller shades and valences to allow as much light in as we can. The house was built in 1906, so tends to be dark. Perhaps you could use rustic themed quilts or ones that reflect your area. I would get rid of the carpet and use laminate or wood flooring and small easily washed throw rugs. Good luck!

I agree with BD and JB. No carpet. There is some lovely wood look vinyl which is laid in strips just like wood. We are in process of putting it in our church. Will be easier to care for than carpeting and for pet friendly rooms can be cleaned easily :) Or a wood laminate would work as well. You can use an area rug if you want to cozy up the place :)
Here's a look that was used in a newly restored inn here in our town.
