Yesterday when I was checking in a really nice couple, I asked if they had ever stayed at a b&b before. They looked at each other with that 'look' and said yes, once before. They then went on to tell me that they had vowed to never stay at a b&b again. Their experience was that the b&b was lovely and in the morning, they decided they wanted to sleep instead of get up, get ready and go to breakfast. Later, when they saw the innkeeper, they were chastised that they didn't come to breakfast and the innkeeper was upset.
That's when they decided never to stay in a b&b again. The only reason they are here with me is that their son stayed with us and told them how we deliver breakfast, and bought a $400 gift certificate for them!
I can't even imagine how frustrating it must be for you to go to all that work to prepare breakfast and folks don't show. But it's also important to remember that guests will paint all b&bs with the same brush, unlike hotels.
