    One bad apple, or why guests force policy changes

    EXACTLY! I have a whole "comedy" routine - same "gags" in the same places, usually provokes the same smiles and chuckles, but every once in a while you'll just get a couple who're dead behind the eyes. How ever these people meet and are attracted to each other I have no idea. Have been a bit out...

    One bad apple, or why guests force policy changes

    Oh my God, that is SO awful and utterly disgusting and disrespectful - not to mention they clearly shouldn't be allowed to own a dog. So sorry these hideous, vile people put you through the gut-churning job of cleaning up their revolting filth. I'm with Camberley - charge with an itemized bill...

    The Stupidest Questions You Hear...

    All the time people point at the gas fireplace in their room and ask: "Does that work?" Or, when I get to the How To Turn On The Fireplace part of the check-in they'll say, in surprised fashion, "Oh! That works does it?!" The first time someone said it to me I just thought they were a bit weird...

    I did it and I'd do it again...

    Couldn't agree more - and a timely comment too as one of the radio shows I regularly listen to on podcast (gotta block out all that toilet-cleaning somehow) had an interview today with the woman who wrote this article: The Snark Diet. And it got me to thinking, generally/overall, doesn't "snark"...

    So sorry for your loss JB. My deepest condolences.

    Hi Joey - I'm here!!!! I think Draper's case might fall more into the Bullets Dodged category! I am totally with DD on this one - it really sometimes isn't worth it for one night's room rate when you're otherwise empty to go to all the effort to get ready, hang around waiting for a check-in...

    How do you answer weather questions?

    Agree with all of the above. We say exactly what Breakfast Diva said.

    Old School

    How completely fabulous - well deserved compliments for all your hard work, I'm sure. Thank goodness that the lovely guests of this world are in the majority. We've just had a house full of happy smiley people and what a fabulous experience it is to have a home awash with laughs and joy. A very...

    Innkeeping Pet Peeves

    Eye make-up remover does indeed work, and is what we used (the cheapest we could find) for a veeeeery long time. But we finally got bored of the expense, so what we do now is hoard all the little half-used guest soaps in a pot in the laundry room and don rubber gloves, wet the towel and give it...

    One year.

    Congratulations!!! Totally know what you mean AI - we're also several years in, and I said just the other day that I've realised I suddenly no longer get butterflies when I see the check-in people pulling into the drive, no longer come out in a hot/cold sweat with the...

    Weird Breakfast Question

    I agree that it sounds like a lot of carbs and that chicken for breakfast sounds a bit odd - but maybe it's a cultural/regional thing. For all the non-red-meat eaters you mention, and the non-egg people, that seem to be out there we came up with (or, more likely, stole/adapted from I forget...

    Innkeeping Pet Peeves

    We're with you too. The towel things drive me NUTS - I constantly wonder if I am the only revolting, disgusting creature in the world who uses a towel multiple times. These towels are not dirty, people, they are just DAMP. I once had to throw out (well, downgrade to dog towels) three, count them...
