HA HA...you really nailed it. You should post that on the other fellow's blog and see what he thinksWe can add our own turn offs, here are some that jump out right off the bat for me:
.
- Specials from Valentine's day and it is now APRIL.
- Christmas photos - year round
- Music mandatory (not if you choose to listen)
- Dancing icons like angels, elves, etc
- Clean clear photos of B&B stuff
- Big giant photos that take forever to load
- Poor images, closed shots that show no room detail (which makes us feel like it is on purpose to hide something)
- Prices ON the rooms pages with the rooms info
- Stinkin' badges - inn's that think having badges all over the home page are attractive, ick
- Lack of a clear map to show WHERE you are located and in perspective to major cities (so not a close up of your street or town only)
- Lack of Innkeeper information - at least have a welcome page with a small photo of smiling host(s) NOT just a photo of a couple of mutts. This is a turn off, the dogs ARE not the innkeepers, people!
- Too much on each page - please do yourself a favor and break it into multiple pages, add a site map, don't STUFF every page. Keep the page length managable and viewable, if we have to page down more than once it is too much
- Phone, contact, address on every page
- Where/how to book on every page
I think I am good on all but #8. What does that mean? I always want the room rate on the page with the room info because if I like the room I don't want to hunt for the price.We can add our own turn offs, here are some that jump out right off the bat for me:

I'm going out on a limb here (hate explaining what someone else meant) but I think JB meant LACK of price info on rooms pages.sandynn said:I think I am good on all but #8. What does that mean? I always want the room rate on the page with the room info because if I like the room I don't want to hunt for the price.
That's exactly what she meant ;-) put the rate with the room...don't send them off to another page trying to find all the room rates. You are goodI think I am good on all but #8. What does that mean?

I will add: Having to search the entire site to find policies that are either, a) hidden where you have to click on something to find them, or b) you have to go to the booking engine to read them.We can add our own turn offs, here are some that jump out right off the bat for me:

Anyone who uses the phrase arrive as a guest leave as a friend! its over used.
I'm starting to hate one of my own catch phrases, " A piece of Heaven in the woods" it is repeated ad nauseam in reviews we get. Apparently, the guests think it's original when they appropriate it not realizing it came subliminally and was never theirs to begin with.[email protected] said:Anyone who uses the phrase arrive as a guest leave as a friend! its over used
Or at least hit spell check!Misspelled words - I wish everyone could learn how to spell definitely correctly!.
