This is very difficult news. We had the pleasure of staying with them just last year. Such a wonderful host and such an extraordinary professional. A credit to our industry. We will follow up with Ron directly to offer what help we can. Thank you for passing this along. With fond memories

We are far from wise and the only wisdom we have came from correcting our mistakes and movin' forward. It has been rare for us to have a situation go south. So the question is, "What is different in your situation that sent this over the edge?" Here's a few gems Head 'em off at the pass! When...

Yeah...it is kind of a motel type thing. We don't get it at major city hotels either, but it does pop up here and there. Besides, I laughed at my first reaction when I reread it. Call the police? WHo am I kidding.

Just a total bummer. We had a situation where we had a single traveler who had his card declined at checkout for a large amount. He was the nicest guy you would ever want to meet. He wanted to have us charge him after he cleared up the problem with his card. We insisted that he pay his bill...

When we were designing all those years ago, one of the solutions we came up to with avoid the "hotel" feel" was a complimentary laundry center. It has been one of our most used and appreciated amenities. The iron and the board are part of it. In addition, guests don't ask. Somehow the term...

Since the guest was unaware... no way out. We have learned to create a separate policy for rezies that would leave us cryin' if they cancel. However, we do have the ability to use a minimum on our online booking engine, so I have no problem sticking to that. We just had a guest reserve three...

Had a guest call interested in reserving with us. On our website and calling for availability. Said they would call back (which they did) to reserve after they talked it over. We had been running a little surprise special that only showed up when you went to reserve online. Thought I would check...

in Scotland last year, stayed at all B&Bs. Best of the lot was Alt Na Craig in Oban. Too far from Glasgow I imagine. More than you asked for? Sure Our stay on the isle of Skye was a modest offering but the view of the bay and the sense of Skye you got (crofters house) was great. The hosts were...

large two person walk in rain showers with a bench- Thought we might be ahead of the curve when we went this way but I would not even consider installing tubs now.

love it

Only hanging onto one, but may just let it go as well if (maybe when) we change reservation systems. I want to mention that we also paid extra to Tr A. Then we took a look at how much they were doing to drive traffic away from us and decided that giving them money was crazy. At the end of day...

o k - i c It got me thinking about our exit plan, so I was just wondering.

wine cellar

You piqued my interest TB. Can you share more on how the offer educated you about selling?

That was super helpful B.D. When I went to read the follow up from the CEO, it would appear he was denying any connection to SEO impact on our individual sites. I suppose he has to, since I do think misinformation (and I could be way off) on the net can impair your organic placement. Did anyone...
