Would you consider a room with no adjoining walls to any other room an amenity for which to charge $5 more?
I ask as I just raised the rate of that room $5 as it seems to be booked most now.
This is what I sent to an innmate this morning re this room and what got me thinking about finally doing it:
These guests from Jersey stayed the night prior in Lexington. I asked if they were at a B&B – I always get guest feedback on other B&B’s this way.
They said they got there late and just stayed at a Days inn. Days inn internet special rates for Lexington are: 2 doubles 94.35 or one king is 105.00 or $149, and includes for a continental breakfast and stinky room.
So here they got this beautiful Garden Room, check in refreshments (Homemade angel food cake – which btw seems to be a hit), sodas, cide/coffee/hotcocoa/tea, other snacks like peanuts or crackers (available), walk to a great food and atmosphere and reasonably priced restaurant and then walk to a café for local music after, free parking free wifi, cable tv, central heat - no horrible wall unit turning on and off, fresh flowers in their room, loved the library of books and atmosphere, and then today a bang up breakfast with fresh fruit like STARFRUIT and homemade cinnamon apple compote as the first course. A romantic candle light breakfast for two – with nice background music and fresh carnation bouquet on the table. Also MUCH local information from the innkeeper.
I’m jus’ sayin’ - the value in a B&B is soooo much greater than a hotel. I will need to blog this AGAIN and hit them over the head with it. But those reading the blog already know this!
So I raised this room rate $5 which I have thought of doing for a while, every guest saves $10 if they book online, or more if there is a special promotion.
