    We made an offer

    I heard on the news the other night that small business loans are getting harder to get...be sure to check local small banks as they know the business you are buying and most of the time want the business to continue on...congratulations, I remember this waiting and it was the longest 2 days of...

    Hospitality background

    "If you don't have an actual restaurant attached, are other meals alternate licensing requirements or is it that they don't tend to be worth the cost?" That also depends on state to state...I had many customers want to have dinner but it required a different license and the cost of hiring extra...

    Exactly what happened to me when I felt sorry for someone escaping a hurricane...Dog peed on bed, which was suppose to be in a crate which I required them to buy and then they try to sop up the piss and plugged up the toilet...and NEVER TOLD US even though we provided breakfast and visited with...

    Almond flour pancakes are good with bacon.

    I am clueless - guest mentions they are on KETO diet

    No carbs, that looks great minus crackers. Boiled egg would be good on it.

    Didn’t I see you with someone else yesterday?

    Our 3 day a month regular Dr. would come alone with his wife and child left at home and around 11 he would welcome one or two every night for 3 or 4 hours. I had cameras at front door...ended up telling him to go after he broke the bed and the noise coming from the room. Some just don't care and...

    Dogs

    I would try one room first before opening up a second. We were a no pets inn but I allowed it once when we were taking Hurricane evacuees. Made them buy a crate and offered our back yard where our dog roamed to keep theirs out there during the day. Next morning the gentleman told me his...

    What else can we do for you?

    I could not afford to have per diem rates, I figured if they didn't want to stay in the slums down the road and fork out $20+ out of their pocket they can head down the road...One guy tried arguing that they should get a discount and I so wanted to ask him if he did the same arguing with the...

    Transferring Accounts?

    Guests who tell you everyone’s name in an email, who want to stay for ten or fourteen days, who don’t care what the price is, who want multiple double rooms are almost 100% of the time scammers. LOL We have all been there and always go What? Pretty easy to spot, if you are not sure ask them to...

    Guests being generous

    Exactly what I did. Each cleaning person would leave a signed card on the nightstand and we saw a tip increase and the guests appreciated knowing who was behind making their rooms so clean and stocked. We did not mention tips on the card. Myself, I do not like staying in Inns when they leave an...

    I've been raised from the dead...

    Fully understand, just sold my BnB...finding onsite managers is tough, nobody does the job as good as we do. Ha ha. Love your positive upbeat attitude. Good luck on the sale.

    Am I Becoming Extinct?

    Hopefully there will be less Abnb in the near future with Abnb removing taxes from each reservation. The IRS will be catching up to a lot of them who are pocketing their revenue and not claiming any of it on taxes.
