    Looking to purchase an Inn

    Dear Morticia, Thanks for your suggestion. Actually, I had already done exactly that, hadn't heard anything back yet, and thought I'd also try the reply approach and see what happened. Best wishes to all of you in your endeavors. I know it can be an adventure being in the lodging business. I...

    Looking to purchase an Inn

    Please contact me to discuss two options: 1. I have an established, 25 year old, inn for sale on an island in Puget Sound, a short ferry ride from Seattle, and am willing to consider a lease with option to purchase, and/or financing a purchase with a reasonable down payment, property in trade...

    How do you manage people coming for website and print reviews?

    Madeleine, Thx for your good comments about my comment. I also own a 4 room country inn so I am aware of both ends of the lodging spectrum. I forgot my usual disclaimer that what I said was in the FWIW category. And also forgot to say the Travel Agent discount was on a space available basis...

    Disclaimer "For Sale" on Confirmation email ?

    I'm going to take a different tack in responding by asking what seems to me a more fundamental question you hinted at. The other posts already made good points. My comment, or question is, have you analyzed what your property is worth if sold as a residence, versus as a B&B, and which way to...

    How do you manage people coming for website and print reviews?

    My two cents worth. I had a controlling ownership in, and personally managed, a 135 room full service, AAA 3 diamond hotel in Seattle from 1986 to 2004. AAA inspectors/reviewers periodically stayed in the hotel, ate in the restaurant, etc. and, as I recall, never announced their presence, let...

    compensation for on site manager

    Another thought about the on-site manager. I have the impression that insurance premiums are much lower if you have someone on site at all hours, or maybe even a requirement you have someone on-site all hours, but especially overnight? And/or fire codes may require this unless, or even if, you...

    Washington B&B Guild educational conference November 5-6

    What a small world ! (Forgive me while I kibbitz with a former Maury Islander, which only has maybe 1500 people on a few square miles out in Puget Sound) The Angels of the Sea B&B closed at least a few years back, as I recall. Yes, by the fire station, which was my duty station for awhile when...

    compensation for on site manager

    Just had some more thoughts. As you may know, or if you have an accountant/lawyer/commercial real estate/business advisor in the picture, the wages you pay employees, on which you have to pay all the various payroll taxes and take the time to complete all the state and federal returns (or pay...

    compensation for on site manager

    Breakfast Diva may have the best answer, and would eliminate the research ("A") and concerns ("B") in my comment minutes ago.

    compensation for on site manager

    Two parts/issues to this comment in the order they presented themselves - but "B" is the more interesting and potentially concerning for you, IMHO: A. In response to your initial question about overall compensation for what they are doing, it seems to me, obviously without knowing any details...
