Give us your best Innkeeping slogan

If you have a problem with the B&B tell us...  if you love the place tell the world! 

The little sign above our front door says

"Friends Welcome; Relatives by Appointment".

 I got that "clean doesn't smell" from Mortie.  

 "Friends and family pay double."

 This is the place for great times and great memories!

I was up cleaning and came up with some innkeeping doozies today:

"I have my head in a toilet more than Otis the Town Drunk"

My next one stems from continually scrubbing hair spray off the back of bathroom doors - anyone who paints areas that require frequent cleaning in FLAT PAINT should be shot.

"We have more hairspray here than a hairdresser at a southern wedding!"

I have a couple - this one for the dockside B&B/charteryacht:  "Escape to Sanctuary where it's all about YOU!" because we do gear our meal times, activities, and menus base upon what guests tell us in advance of what they want.  We're small...we can do that, and that's expected in this industry.

The other is "I dress boats."  I have a canvas-making business - I sew the heavy stuff such as boat covers, enclosures with windows, cushions, interior soft goods, pinch pleated drapes, etc. (that would be the equivalent to patio awnings for land-based folks).  Fashion designers dress women; I dress boats.  You name it...if it's something a yacht "wears", I design it and sew it!  I started sewing clothing at the age of 10.  By my teenage years, I was sewing horse riding habit (i.e. tuxedos), so it's no surprise to me that I landed here with industrial sewing machines dressing the some of the things most dear to my heart....yachts!

My own personal slogan:  "No grass grows under my feet!"  Meaning, I'm always on the move, tackling/mastering another skill or area of expertise, and putting another notch in my belt.  That's how I landed on "Sanctuary" and became so capable of meeting her needs - just love her!  And that led to the canvas making business.  I've got more canvas projects lined up than I can count - months worth!

We have one on our website that we get a lot of favourable comments on.

"Ever wonder if the Hokey Pokey is really what it's all about?"

I made up a couple tshirts that say:

"Break Free of the Chain Gang"

our B&B name below that.

and another says:

"Just say NO to Pop Tarts!"

and our B&B name below that.

I have two t-shirts I wear when I am having a bad day one says I have issues in big letters on it and the other is a new one from the Alison In Wonderland Film it has a picture of Jonny Depp on it and Says Mad as A Hatter in big letters!

I always say our slogan is you are not a sausage! (ie not a sausage in a factory like in a chain hotel) and that makes people laugh as we are famouse for our high quality sausages as well. I need one printed with Don't even start! on it.

The best I saw was I can only help one person a day, today is not your day and tomorro is not looking good either!

To guests:

"We want you to feel pampered and loved."

"It is our pleasure to make your breakfast at the hour of your choosing."

"We're so glad you came and hope to see you again."

"Please make yourself at home."

"If all our guests were as wonderful as you then everyone would be an innkeeper!"

To myself:

"For that much money, I can bite my tongue (and/or grit my teeth) for a day or two."

"They stay, they pay, they go away."

"Gotta make hay while the sun shines!"

"It's still better than almost every other job I know of!"

=)
Kk.

"They stay they pay they go away"

My own rule: nothing good comes from answering the phone after 9:00.  Had two phone calls last night that proved it.

We're not happy until you're not happy.  (DH's motto when he worked in personnel)

Internal motto:  No good deed goes unpunished.

Mine is "We're always pleased to see our guests, some when they arrive and some when they leave"

Mine is : Where the World Comes Together

As each of my guests rooms are different countries (and cover different continents)

Mine is:

Where you are treated like a guest, but feel like family

"Many come as strangers, but most leave as friends!"

"Make yourself at home - Clean my Kitchen"

 "I'm just working here till a good fast-food job opens up."

"We started out with nothing & still have most of it left."

We often have fun with the second one!

Cheers

Lodging at a B&B, inn is like going home again...without having to do the dishes. (The one guests can see).

(The ones guests shouldn't see lol).

Lodging at a B&B, inn is like going home again...without the dysfunction.

Lodging at a B&B, inn is like going home again...without the bi&%$ing.  lol

Did I nail it? 

 If you want breakfast in bed, sleep in the kitchen.

Friends don't let friends stay at chain hotels.

Another of yours:  Break the chain gang.....stay at a B&B!

They pay, they stay, they go away.
