I haven't seen any using them. I wouldn't waste time trying to do it.
You could look here : http://karma.truethemesdemo.net/shortcodes/vector-icons/ or here : https://help.truethemes.net/articles/
Here are common css changes: https://help.truethemes.net/knowledge-base/karma-common-css-customizations/
Then you would have to buy different icons and edit the style sheet to use the "hotel related" icons or free here: http://www.freepik.com/index.php?goto=2&k=hotel&isCat=1&isKeyword=1&type=3&vars=1
Looks like Boo k . com is using this:
[class^="bicon-"], [class*=" bicon-"], [class*="\A bicon-"] {
font-family: 'booking-iconset';
speak: none;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
font-variant: normal;
text-transform: none;
line-height: 1;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
}

There is a font with icons. The current style is individual icons. I think that might be a bit too much.

I've seen these kind of things, lately....
or
Just wondering if that works for selling.
I'm also wondering if I should go more "flat" and instead of having individual pages for each of my rooms, instead go with a flat page with anchors and have them all on one page.
Ah, fickleness.

I have them listed, but the newest thing are these round blobbies with the icon in them.
Striking does have this ability. I have put them along with menu navigation

Yes, but higher bounce, since people might not know they need to click to a different page to see a different room.More pages make more ways to be found.I've seen these kind of things, lately....

Yeah, I see them all over. Don't know if they would help with selling the B&B rooms or not. I was looking at the small versions, with the icons and then the text, but think it might just be too much for the website.Blurbs with iconsI've seen these kind of things, lately....

Each individual page should have a link to all the other individual room pages. And each page already has a standardized navigation bar guests can use.Yes, but higher bounce, since people might not know they need to click to a different page to see a different room.More pages make more ways to be found.I've seen these kind of things, lately....

You could do a small photo with link to the other room pages. That also gives you more intra site links.
My most popular page is also the one with the 80% bounce rate. I don't care. Someone will stick on the site to book a room, even if everyone else really does just want to know what restaurants are in town.

Yes, I think the icons go with your plan for updated and trendy. In 2 years you can get rid of them again.Yeah, I see them all over. Don't know if they would help with selling the B&B rooms or not.

Then again, I'm old, so if I like them maybe you should avoid them!
When I get back from vacation, and really go back to work, I'm going to have a look at how to get some of them on my site.

That looks like a great way to make an amenities chart so you don't have the amenity description text taking up so much space in the column headers. Just would need to add a key at the top for people who don't understand what all the icons mean. Most of them are pretty obvious, but I have no idea about the meaning of that icon of a house with an down arrow beside it.Aussie Innkeeper said:

Cottages. The arrow is for the sorting, alpha starting with 'A' instead of reversed. If you click it a second time it sorts from 'none having cottages' to the ones that do have cottages.Arks said:That looks like a great way to make an amenities chart so you don't have the amenity description text taking up so much space in the column headers.

I love this. Will think about how to incorporate it into my group site!
