    TA and third party booking

    We paid for tripadvisor to list our property (photos, management response etc...) on their website.

    Non staying guests taking up our parking spaces including handicapped space for reserved guests

    The paying guests have a bachelorette party and have a whole bunch of friends come over. I hate those parties at our inn. We are not a house but a 10 rooms inn. They ruined my night every time.

    Thank you for all your suggestions! I did mentioned to the manager about taking photos before having the maid cleaning up the place, but it was too late. Lessons learned!

    Guests trashed the room

    Do you charge the guest on their credit card after they check out if the room is a big mess with vomit all over the place? What the appropriate amount? And after you charged on the card, what are their reactions and the legitimate responsees to fight chargeback from credit card company? Thank you!

    Do you give away guest rooms if they don't show up and don't answer their phone?

    We had the same problem last week...we don't take deposit or fully charge until day of arrival. This woman booked the most expensive room for 2 nights and no show. We called her several times the next day and no answer. We tried to charge to credit card, and it was declined.

    how to deal with guest claims maid for stolen item

    Our Inn opens for business for 5 years and we never had one incident of stolen item. One of the guests lost her pair of shoes (she stated it worths 250) and claimed it on our maid and wanted us to pay for her loss. How do you deal with this sort of situation? Thanks in advance for your advices.
