While I'm awaiting banking decisions, I'm reading reviews on TA. Most of them comment on the service and relationship they develop with the Innkeeper. I am all for that and look forward to it, but so many said they enjoyed sitting in the afternoon drinking coffee on the porch, or exchanging family stories in the evenings, etc. That's what "made" their experience.
In all my B&B travels, I have enjoyed the knowledge of the area and recommendations of the Innkeepers, but have never expected them to be my personal concierge.
What has been your experience with this? I have no problem being there for them and making their experience a memorable one, but I do not want to be their best friend for the weekend. I'm hoping that was just the spin in the reviews and they were trying to say nice things about the Innkeeper.
On a side note, I noticed that you could have 10 reviews on how nice the house was and 1 saying it was filthy and rat ridden... odd. One person even said there was hair in the ice trays and the fridge was messy. I'm thinking.... why is this guest in the fridge? Just an observation.
