    Location / Distance from town on TA is Wrong

    So all y'alls buzz about the new TA got me curious. I just checked our listing on TA. We are #2 on the B&B list behind a MOTEL. The other issue is where they say we are located. We are correct on the map, but they have us both listed as about 15 miles from the center of town -- our whole...

    Yall, this is long, im warning you now, but i am so mad and sressed im almost in tears. The part towards the end about the photo shoot is interesting, though. I brought this on myself, but I just have to rant or I will say it out loud to the guest and make a huge scene if I don't calm down...

    Remembering what Your B&B IS and ISN't

    Little girls have commented about ours, also. Daughters of some friends call it "our White House" and my niece calls it the "doll house!"

    Well I am up at 5:15 am, phone rang #!*?>=#!

    Here's what worked REALLY well for us the last few times. "Jeff (or whatever the telemarketer said their name was), I need to hear you confirm that you are hearing me say that I want you and your company to remove us from your calling list."

    Search Engine Ad saying No Availability - when they know nothing

    The OTa thing is what we have figured out. Just trying to decide when we bite the bullet which one. We will have to change our reservation system also. It is going to be a huge pain all around to get everything to work together with our website.

Anyone else have this? I have figured out that places that are listed with one of the major booking sites...

    How do you reply to people always looking for a discount?

    We're too small is the answer I give. It only took me about a year to figure out that the folks who asked for a discount were also the ones who asked for extra coffee and towels and soap and bottled water, wanted Kcups of tea or hot chocolate instead of coffee in the room, decided to eat dinner...

    Moral of the Story is...

    I even use pictures that I have taken myself. If you have a professional photographer take them for you, be sure you have (buy) the rights to use them online however you want in the future.

    I'm Going to Make Hubby Answer the Phone for a change!

    I handle most of the phone calls, reservations, etc., and I have had my share of doozies of requests and questions during the 2 short years we have owned our place. Last night took the cake... A gentleman called wanting a room for either the last or next to last Friday in May. Ok, we have one...
