I have recently discovered this forum and it has been wonderfully helpful and refreshing. Thank you to all of those who have helped answer many of my questions, even if some of them may seem silly. Sadly, some of the members on here seem rather... harsh or mean. (Surpising as we all are in the...

Is anyone a member of PAII? Is it worth the cost or just another assoication to join?

On my website I had 'extras' listed that guests can add on to their room to make the experience even better. A bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates from the local chocolate maker, a basket full of items made locally, etc.... When quests are making reservations, do you ask them if they would...

Do you keep track of what you serve for breakfast everyday? If so.. what works best to track what you've cooked? what doesn't work?

Do you put anything 'on the pillow' after you clean a room? Chocolates? Candy? A nice note? If so, what works well... what is appreciated? How often do you do it? Every time you clean/refresh? The last night of their stay? On their arrival day?

In a previous post I mad,e many of you suggested overstock.com as a good source for purchasing bed linen. Can anyone mention a particular brand(s) they look for when on overstock. Any recommendations? Anything I should stay away from? I've been having bad luck with sheets, so I'm trying to do my...

I have emailed several fellow innkeepers here on the forum and seem to get no response. Its usually an email to get more information about a post they've made to a question I asked, but no one seems to respond. Just wondering if I did something wrong in the process or if people typically don't...

Does anyone use quickbooks for logging guest information? Whether is be to print an invoice, store guest info, etc? I currently print registration cards I created in MS Word and have people fill them out, but I was wondering if there was any way to manage it with quickbooks which is the system I...

So, I just purchased my bed and breakfast a year ago and I'm looking to change the way the beds are dressed. Currently it's the sheets (blanket in the winter) and comforter. Two pillows for use and two decorative pillows with shams to match the comforter. I'm looking to create a bed with all...

Does anyone have any 'nice' wording for a website to say that children under a certian age are.... 'not welcomed'. (even 'well-behaved' ones) I've owned my b&b for a year now and opening my home to children that are still in diapers or just out of them has been overly stressful and...

I have ten people for breakfast tomorrow. I serve family style. I'm looking for something preferable salty... like eggs etc.. rather than something that requires syrup [had pancakes today]. Any help is appreciated. It's like writers block for an inkeeper!

Guests asked... or told me... that they don't need service, that 'no one' (aka me) needs to go in their room. They said they've made their bed and don't need fresh towels. Do I go into their room and freshen up anyway? They are great people and I don't think they are 'hiding' anything. I don't...

I've seen several sites with pictures that move or change to different pictures. Does anyone know how to do this? I create and maintain my own site (www.visitoldcharm.com) and would love this feature, but have NO idea how to do it??

Over the years, I have gathered hundreds of recipes. I have about 20 that I truly love and turn to most often. This weekend a couple guests asked if I had a cookbook. I said, 'no', They said, 'if you did, we buy it!!' So, this got me thinking. Has anyone ever made a cookbook for their inn? I...

So, I've just found innspiring.com and I've been doing some reading. I heard LOTS of people mention Turkish Towels. When I went to their website, most of their towels seems crazy expensive. Maybe I'm missing something?? Is there a special area for innkeepers/small hotels/ etc?? Any help is...
