I'm in Asheville and I'd be glad to help if I can. There are lots...and I mean lots of B&B's here in Asheville ranging from small to small-hotel size. I'm sure more than one will suite your needs. We're one of the smaller ones. We have great restaurants and lots of things to do here in...

Recently divided our parking spaces with railroad ties with reflectors on the ends. Still have guest straddle the ties. Had one the other day park long ways across 3 spaces. Can't figure that out. maybe they were drunk. Another inn nearby has "park here" signs, stripes, reflectors, etc. You...

Got the big one. Gave it to the neighbors kid who stuck it on the rear window of his old custom "love machine" van.

We have a 2-night min on weekends, during our peak seasons, holidays, when our mood dictates, etc. On certain occaisons throughout the year we have a 3-night minimum. We break the rule last minute if a room is open. By last minute I mean the day prior. Heck we even hold out for a Thurs/Fri...

We get that type of call from people who find us on their GPS. If the phone rings after 9:00 pm, there's a good chance that it's one of them.....and we don't take same day reservations after 4 or 5 pm anyway.

Thanks for reaffirming my 1st choice to replace the chairs with smaller chairs. The reason I asked is that I over the past three years we have had a couple of calls to see if any of the rooms have a couch. We don't accept more than double occupancy and market as romantic, intimate, etc... so...

We've been thinking of using a keypad lock to keep from changing lock cylinders wihen guests leave with the key. I was wondering about some of these same issues. I think we have settled on a dead bolt for the front door that uses programmable key fobs. That way when a guests leaves with the...

We get a few overnight reservations. Most reservations come in during weekday business hours. Judging from their IP addresses, a whole lot of our guests are making their reservations from work.

We have a large room with big very big comfortable chairs with a coffee table between them. We will be changing the chairs out due to guests having sex on them. Yea I know it's gross and we have charged a cleaning fee more than once. Problem is that you can't always get the things cleaned...

Why is it every time I have someone check in with chemical sensitivities, I have one of these perfume overload women in at the same time??? Murphy's law I guess.

I wouldn't even want to think about cleaning 10 rooms alone. We're a B&B and it takes an average of 1.5 to 2 man hours to clean/turn a room. My wife has a corporate hotel background. At the mid-range chain hotel she worked for, the housekeepers worked in pairs and were allotted 20 minutes to...

Traded out last week for some needed time off. Of course I submitted a TA review when I returned. Guess what...my good review of the place we stayed had did not stick. What gives?

Don't have a TA link yet. Did get a phone solicitation from TA the other day, so they're it seems like they're putting in alittle more effort to market the listings. What I have noticed though is that the traffic coming from the search engines with B&B's name as the search term has greatly...

Here's some ideas: Have a set cleaning fee no mater how many nights are rented. Make sure that your cover your costs, a house is a lot more to clean than a room. Take a damage deposit. All the vacation rentals and condos do it and so can you. Protect your investment. How many rooms does the...

As most of our business is chill-out and/or romantic getaway traffice we are not a child freindly place. We only offer double occupancy which we thought took care of people wanting to bring their children. When people call we tell then that we are not condusive to children. For the 2nd time...
