Good One Mary! A friend who works at the Omni in my city told me of a guest (older woman) who refused to stay because they did not offer an adult movie channel. I've had a variety of "complaints" due to expectations that I can't possibly meet at a moments notice. A fitness center or more...

If this was posted previously, my apologies for resubmitting. It is just too good to not pass around. From Thomas Cook Holidays - listing some of the guest's complaints during the season. 1. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits...

My friend and I (she also has a b&b) in our city, are thankful for this thread. We were discussing how the groupon/living social works and to read everyone else's experience is great. Thank you.

My place is still for sale too. Home of the 2012 Superbowl, just 2 1/2 miles down on the same street. Asking $299,000- turnkey. I have guests booked through the summer, but would really like to be out before the Indy 500. Just other shores to visit.

I signed up for their 30 day trial, not a single click through. Maybe it generates business for hotels, but I don't see where it has generated a dime for me. I would not suggest paying their $400-$600.

I have a 10 year old and Barbie's are a bit young for a 10 year old these days. My daughter is really into American Girl, If you got her a Justin Bieber CD, maybe an inexpensive cd player. The stuffmart is a great idea, or maybe a Border's Bookstore gift certificate for her choice of music or...

We are inspected by both the health department and fire department every year in order to remain in business.

In some cases when I get this call or email I offer them to cancel now and if the room is still available when they are sure they are coming they can book at that point. I explain that it is difficult to rebook the room as time gets closer as everyone who has inquired has been declined...

What a great treat I had today. To meet Samster, JB and innkeep all in the same visit! I look forward to seeing you all again. Wish we had more time! Safe travels home.

I had donated 1 room and the couple no showed . I had over 30 people wanting that room.

JB, We shall agree to disagree on that. I have read a handful of blogs with really poor grammar, sometimes even bad spelling, and occassionally someone spouting facts without doing research. It put me off reading blogs for a long time. Little experience, no editing and a somewhat...

I met someone recently who said "I always wanted to have a b&b". Afterward I thought - does she really? is she doing anything to make it happen? Or is it like the person who says "I always wanted to go to Hawaii" and yet doesn't save a dime to go to Hawaii and uses their vacation time to visit...

I was hesitant to start a blog. I feel that everyone "thinks" they can write in 2010 and I certainly did not want to publish something if it is not worth reading. When I gave my intern the assignment of putting together a newsletter, she highly suggested that I begin blogging. Ideally about...

Yes, mine is on the window by my front door.

There is a b&b in my town that I toured before opening. They had tubs in the room, "odd" I thought, but if it works, it works. I think it is probably ok for married couples, but what about when you are traveling with a friend?
