    temporary shower fix?

    A small hardware store! - on the phone -- someone in one thinks he has something i can use so fingers crossed. I don't think this was giving any indication there was a problem. It just broke off with use. I notice a slow drip in one bathroom. Yup, It's endless. I try to remember to turn on...

    temporary shower fix?

    that is a great idea - but no, they are all different. got the closest looking one off and brought it into the bath but it attaches differently. oh well. i took pictures of the inside of the knob and the shower to take to the store along with the broken knob.

    temporary shower fix?

    heat on and windows wide open

    I am amazed (but why?) that guests have windows wide open for fresh air and heat on full blast because it's cooooold outside. ok, crack one window if you really want a little fresh air. But please don't have three windows each open a foot and then room thermostat up to 70. I can't believe...

    Someone's been clicking me !!!!! ..... or ..... why TA drives me nuts

    I feel a bad review coming. Guests are here to claim a gift certificate. Complaint number one: the nicest room costs more than the gift giver opted to give a certficate for. Complaint number two: I offered the nicest room if the guest wanted to pay the difference (no) which did not go over...

    Do guests understand how to fill out online reviews?

    I don't think they get it. If they say it's over the top, then it should be the max stars all the way. Sorry, but I think the whole rating system makes joe public feel like a reviewer in the making. Going on and on (and on) with descriptions and opinions about the tiniest little things...

    Last Minute Booking Discounts

    yes, they are offered in my area. i haven't researched it to see specifics. the largest 'upscale' place in my area does not offer last minute rates, but has already moved to their quiet season rates - we don't do that until columbus day.

    Weddings

    for me, the big questions are do you have private space to retreat to as the guests are in all the common areas and continue to party and talk and eat and drink and watch tv and play music and want to cook far into the night? do you have big common areas with kitchen facilities? that is what you...
