The owner of the laundry service we use just called to offer to do any sheets I send in on Thursday for free after seeing the clip on the news this morning. He's a vet.

Same here! Guy rang our doorbell a few days ago, holding a rack card in his hand, about 7:00 p.m. When I answered the door he says 'I may be looking for a room for tonight.' Well, that's my first clue - shouldn't you already know whether you are or you're not? 'What are your rates?' as he's...

LOL - that's what we said. No PITAs get in the drawing. We've had a few during this stretch, that's for sure.

We just had our 25th anniversary. For the last 25 days of the month, we gave each guest a logo'd ornament (1 per room) at the end of their stay. We also discounted our weekend rates by $25/night, as August is usually a slower month for us. At the end of the month we will do a drawing from our...

Not trying to bait you, but I would be surprised if you (or anyone other than swirt, and maybe even him since he only gets an email for registration) knows for sure what the gender of each poster is. I know I don't.

BTW, I never knew the name of the place they were going to next; didn't even know if it was another B&B. I told DH I would have called ahead with a warning if I had known.

She booked us via phone, but DH took the call. But we had the same experience. No mention of dietary restrictions on the phone - but when she checked in, now she's lactose intolerant. Told her about breakfast times - find out from the other couple later that they have to be in your area for a...

Being the other keeper of the inn from that troublesome guest - we will keep each other's secret identities secret, hmm, Innsider - I can vouch for your innkeeper and your guest's views of the TA report. That particular guest was demanding and difficult at check-in and aggressively...

Sorry, my fault. I did not mean to imply that Mary's book was criminal, or even 'fluff'. I have not personally read it, but I have only heard good things from those who have. The blog article was over the top, IMO - truly a sales job.

Here's one I saw a week ago, from a realtor who used to own a B&B and now sells B&Bs. It's almost criminal!

I ALMOST said, are you sure - let me go take a look; I even took a step towards the stairs - then I thought well, that's stupid, they must not be in there, I surely don't remember seeing any in the basement but who knows, maybe the housekeeper put them in another room when we were moving things...

I'm finding this post very ironic at the moment. We have a full house tonight, and they all seem to be a little needy - last minute dinner reservations, changes to last-minute dinner reservations, church information twice, and a few who corner me for a little while every time I make an...

We redeem a lot of GCs in December . People who have let them go until the last minute. Our weekends through the first half of December still get pretty full with Christmas events going on. I am walking a massage therapist around tomorrow morning to the rooms, though - I will try that for the...

One of the forum member inns, the Claiborne House B&B, got a nice mention in the Washington Post travel section this weekend. An elegant mansion - yes, it is! However, I stayed in the charming Wash Cottage behind the inn on my visit and had a great time! Congratulations, Claiborne House!

Our cc program works like a hotel's - when we swipe it at check-in it authorizes/holds the charged amount. If we need to adjust the amount at check-out for an extra day or gift shop purchases, we can do so without re-swiping the card. We were told by our credit card processor that this is a...
