Could I get a critique from my friends?

[toddburme]

Quick note in firefox i could not get your whole reservation page to work. it cuts off the bottom somehow. If I click on the frame breaker under the verisign area it works ok.
PS we are looking at who to use to do the credit card stuff and my partner used Superinn but i was comparing..

I use Firefox as well and it worked fine for me this morning either way.
.

the page is - /reservations.htm . I choose a date and then make date selection, then pick the room. The capture info loads. When i go to scroll down I am stopped at the email capture box. If i use the right hand side "room rates" and end up on the webervions site it works fine. I get all the way down to credit card info and stuff. Might be something goofy with my computer.
Your height for that iframe is limited -

height="700" 
  Thus ends my limited knowledge of iframes as I have no clue on them hahaha.

It's not too bad. Code is clean.
Some ideas on enhancements upon first glance:
Add General Text navigation in the footer
Area Attractions - Instead of just linking away from your site, dedicate a page and write off the hip about those attractions and then link to those external sites. This way you have that good content on your site.
Add some Alt and Title tags to atleast your 5 most important pages
Make sure your "Title Tags" for the pages are consistant and relevant to the page. Some are missing good title tags. ie. http://www.oakcreekbnb.com/seniors.htm should = Oak Creek - Athens,Texas Bed and Breakfast > Senior Discounts
Where's your facebook? Create It, Link to it, get a following - Promote Facebook
Setup a MailChimp.com account and incorporate the opt in form - It's Free for up to 500 addresses.
I wrote little blog about Marketing, seo and B&B websites. Take a look, see if it helps at all. http://blog.vbwebsites.net/

Thank you for posting this, JB. I'm really getting tired of flagging this guy.

Some very good tips. I've actually spent the day tweaking keywords, titles and descriptions. I'm using DADA mail for my opt in program.
I eliminated MY reservations page wherein I was using iframes and made my webervation page look and act like my own website by uploading images and a CSS style sheet. Tweak! Tweak! Tweak!

Thanks for that. I did a link check in Dreamweaver and for some reason it didn't catch those. What utility did you use?
