But it is not just the old folks that have time warp syndrome. I had 2 young couples that stayed here in my early years... they stayed at leat through 1 $10 increase as I recall them making a statememt over it at the time. They called last year to check availability... when I quoted the price, I almost could hear them hit their head on the floor as they fainted!!! Upon their return to life, he said I remember your rate was $XX a night... That time it was ME that hit the floor, that was 10 years ago - and lots of great additions have happened since then too. Of course he tried to chew me down. I asked if his wife still owned her spa and asked if her rates had changed in 10 years!!!
Needless to say they did not book & with a mind set like that, I am glad..
We just had a call from someone who stayed a million years ago (maybe 15 or so). They were 'looking at your website' as they spoke to us. OO names on the site, I know which one it is. It is the only one with prices from
1990 1999. They start at $
75 $70. Of course, they all want that room.
We say we have a 'new' site (no, it's the same one the OO's had, just changed up a bit) that has all the new info on it if they would like to take a look. But there is the same 'head hitting floor' scenario. Rates have gone up 100% in
20 11 years, go figure.
I looked around on the site and quite a number of the listings are 'dead'. If you click to look at the property you get a search box.
