Well hello old friends! And by that I mean time, not age. Imagine my unexpected joy when an email dropped in my inbox today announcing an opportunity to re-connect because of a software update to the site!! I've wondered about you all during these times and also hoped that you are doing well...

Thank you to the innkeeper who contacted me in less than 24 hours to let me know that the rez was mine. Online calendar showed it available but apparently someone else had contacted them for the same dates. Innkeeper tried to get in touch with other guests and when they didn't get a response...

This was an amenity at a B&B where I recently stayed in a large metro city. Not saying that it's for everyone here on the forum due to the cost and there may be some simpler, less expensive alternatives out there. A compact and attractive solution. It was pretty handy for two persons'...

Interesting read about why guests perceive a good night's sleep. Can also apply to B&Bs...

We just stayed at a beautiful urban inn and encountered many superb amenities. I really liked the way they provided beverages and snacks for the guests. The inn provided a 24 hour "hot" beverage cabinet in one location and a 24 hour "cold" beverage and snack cabinet in another. Three things...

...if you like to go that way. You can find some great inspiration here!

Just had this article in my FB feed on expiration dates for some common types of food. Reminded me that I should probably label when I actually open some things, so I don't chuck them before they need to be disposed of. Also, just read something recently that Americans toss out something like...

and on and on... I guess I did a good job of getting our name out there while we were in business. Almost 3 years after closing, we are still getting calls! (Our old biz number became my dh's mobile phone number because he liked the number and we figured we could refer people other places for...

I thought this might be a good joke gift for your favorite innkeeper this holiday season. ;-)

I can't get enough of Fraggles! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEyrfFwf3rI

Just finished a stay at a nice larger inn and at check-out when we turned in our key, we were handed a nice card with the inn information on it and a sweet treat. The card read, "Have something sweet to say?" And then it went on to say, that if we had any problems to please tell the innkeeper...

...when it comes to forgetting what the room looks like that I booked. We are going on a getaway next weekend and I reserved the room in June. I had a vague recollection of what the room looked like and where it was located in the inn, but it wasn't until I printed out the confirmation e-mail...

This bread recipe looks yummy!

Here's a link to a PC World article about another new system called SAIL. Rate is slightly lower than the other ones out there and there are a few different features available. Check it out if you're considering going this way....

This link was in my FB news feed. Yum, yum, yum!!!

Has anyone used Living Social deals to promote their slow season? Just curious as I've just used it for a great hotel getaway at a luxury hotel (which was not cheap) and today I bought a deal for two nights at a B&B in a very popular tourist city in my State that I've yet to visit. I've set up...

The following was in a travel e-newsletter that I receive. This was 2009 data...imagine what it's like 3 years later! For those innkeepers that don't have online reservations, please note the highlighted sentence. You might want to think about this.... "The Internet was used by...

I'm wondering if this relates to B&Bs also (since I was not doing much with FB as an innkeeper) - I'm the administrator for an organization FB page and have an occasional post that can be a problem, so I've got the controls set up pretty tight. Have you ever blocked someone from your biz FB...

What new breakfast items (if any) do you have planned to try in 2012? After looking at some photos on B&B websites of delectable breakfast offerings, I was really impressed to see some things that looked simple and appealing. Like, apples seared on a clamshell grill, and breakfast "sliders"...
