re bree -- about expecting the comforts of home at a b&b
it is interesting you mention that, because on my website i DO say we have amenities that help you feel at home.
and it's one of the reasons i started seeking out b&b's to stay in about 15 years ago.
i put out a basic snack for all ... either sweet (cookies or brownies) or cheese, crackers and grapes.
i don't have EVERYTHING ... but do have the guest micro, three guest fridges (one on each floor), of course the tea and coffee setup with all the fixins, spare toothbrushes, razors, etc. not in the rooms but in a basket on each floor for if they need something basic. most important, i can't afford to have a supply for guests to load up on because some (unfortunately) will take all you have, including the box of tissues. but i do tell them to ASK if they need something ... i try to be approachable and helpful. i notice it was like this at the last hotel i stayed at ... reading the book in the room ... if you needed something, they would bring it to you but it was not already there.
