    Anyone have experience with Solunas?

    I have been looking at a number of the open source online booking software packages and have narrowed my search down to "Solunas Hotel Booking Engine" and in my tests, it looks pretty good-- but testing is nothing compared to real world usage. Does anyone have real world experience using this...

    Keys vs. Electronic Locks ?

    We are thinking of replacing the lock on the front door to our B&B with an electronic lock which we can easily set to a per-guest code (something like the last 4 digits of their phone number) in order to not have to give out keys (and replace them as much). What has everyone else's experience...

    Google "Tags"

    I was surprised to learn just now that having a "tag" (pointer) on Google maps when "local businesses" show up on their search results costs a flat fee of $25 per month. All we get is a nondescript little circle on the map. I looked for other's opinions on this tagging fee of Google's...but...

    HTML format, please?

    I'm not sure where to post this, but could someone ask the administrators to have the forums send out their emails in HTML format. It's a bit annoying to have to read around all the HTML tags that appear in my email. Thanks, Eriks

    Bidet

    There is currently a bidet in our guest room and it is in need of repair. The parts are special order. Do guests even care if there is a bidet or not? I had never seen one in person until we bought this home.

    "Fellow Innkeeper Courtesies" & verifying "Travel Agents"

    What is the current tradition or expectation (if any) in terms of courtesies amongst innkeepers? In our travels, many innkeepers would ask us specifically whether we were travel agents or innkeeprs, but they didn't explain what would happen if we had said "yes" to either. Also, what is the best...

    Heated Pool?

    We have never run our pool heater because of the cost, but we are considering heating our in-ground/outdoor pool this Winter for our guests. Does anyone have insight into whether this is a "draw" for guests, or is just a silly waste of natural gas costs?

    To Build or Not to Build

    We are considering how to improve our outdoor deck areas and are wondering whether to go with a very large cantilever/offset patio umbrella or whether I should build a wooden frame which can be covered with a canvas roof in Summer and left open as a trellis in Winter. Our back garden is long...

    How to handle private innkeeper events while guests are present?

    What is the best way to handle guests when innkeepers want to have an event of their own--say a dinner party or barbecue--that is for the friends of the innkeepers and not for the guests? Should the guests be invited as a matter of courtesy, or is it simple enough to say, "the dinner party we're...
