I know that innkeepers get tired and worn out by the end of a busy time with non-stop guests, but do you feel like we look more for the negative than the positive from our guests? Do you think that this just happens more when we're so exhausted we can't stand it?
I know this is a great place to vent, but it sometimes seems like there's a real trend of posting about the problem guests more than the guests that are really nice or even awesome. Seemed like I would get like that when I was going non-stop here.
I guess it doesn't hurt to remember that our guests are the source of our income and pay to stay with us. We might have a limited time to make our best impression on them, as well as the other way around.
I ran into some former guests at a gathering about a week ago who ended up accepting jobs & moving here (a couple of professors at our university) and I was surprised at what they remembered about us and our place. They were a couple of gentleman in a long line of job applicants and I remembered their faces but not their names. :-(
Just some thoughts......
