So we have done our job at the place we were in, the transition was rough, the new innkeepers were staunchy and it wasn't very nice. But its not my inn-although I thought it was bad form when we went to get the bu get truck they said the people that turned in a little while go....they just...

Well tomorrow is the day we are done, new innkeepers have arrived, but honestly-we don't connect and that is all I am saying...cause they don't want to hear what type of guests come to this Inn or any type of advise-as they said "we've done this for a while" Not impressed but its okay, we are...

So we are leaving in June, the owner is seeking new innkeepers.

Just a thought, had...

Im just the Innkeeper and the owner makes most of the business decisions-no problem I can deal with that, but if you as an owner (not doing the Innkeepeing at all) should at least tell your empolyees if you will increase or decrease the prices of your rooms. We have b&b. you know what...for the...

The Inn that we have just arrived two weeks ago Tuesday is a busy little Inn and we are sooo happy to be here in NJ. Just wanted to let everyone know we are well and been adjusting to life here. The owner is awsome and wanted to let everyone know that she gave all her 5 rooms to Vets for free...

We did not mention any kind of mileage reimbursement for the job we've accepted in NJ, and its not really an issue but would like to know if this is the norm to ask for this or not. Thanks in advance.

Why oh Why do people come to B & B's? I know its wrong but we've had the experience that most African Americans have not been to many Bed and Breakfast. Don't want to sound mean, but is this the truth or not? I don't get it, they seem apprehensive, dont usually want breakfast or want something...
