Every time it gets possible that they are what they say, something happens that throws it back again. Way past midday and haven't budged from the room. Put out their wet towels in the hallway for others to trip over. Maybe they are just on vacation and think they should act as badly as their guests act? I guess we are going to have to hope they leave for dinner to finally get in there to clean.So they don't own it, they don't live in it (or their address would have shown the B&B) and all they do is a quick dust and they're done? They're pulling your leg. However, they don't own it. So they may only HAVE to do a quick dust after breakfast and then off to the beach. Cooking breakfast for 6 is not overly hard, they may do a very laid back brekkie, maybe only continental. One seating at 8:30, get the guests out the door, finished with cleaning by noon at the beach by 12:15. Back by 3. (Maybe that's why they checked in early...so they would catch you before you hit the sand.)Still haven't said the B&B, but they continued with it. Said that they aren't the owners and it's just three rooms. She's making it sound like she eats bonbons all day long. Just a quick dust and it's done and I can run down to the beach.We have down duvets. I have feather pillows for those guests who ask.Is it mean to drop into the conversation something like "Oh, the housekeeper loves when other innkeepers come to stay, they always make their own bed, they keep their room very neat and they leave the biggest tips."
Is that mean?
PS: Asked for feather pillow last night. Does anyone use feather anymore with all the allergies?.
I'm telling ya, they sound like the Hotel Inspector show!

How do you do arrivals? Just make them show up at 3PM to 4PM? All those beds to make, rooms to clean, bathrooms to clean, house to sweep, dishes from breakfast, etc. And of course, the spouse goes out to work. This must be a hobby instead of a business.

They don't have to do the books. They don't have to market. But how could the owner afford to pay them?
We'll never know. If they're not sharing with you, they're probably not really innkeepers. They're probably just winding you up.

Honestly, I still don't get the people who use towels once. Do people really do that at home? Use a towel once and then wash it. If you know how to properly shower then you are clean and so is the towel. It is only wet. It doesn't need to be washed, it needs to be hung to dry.
