was looking in to IWB does anyone use them and is it worth it know they take 2% from your site bookings and 5% from their site bookings
Ripoff big time. Don't even consider you will be wasting time and money.IWB is this booking company http://www.instantworldbooking.com/.
Thank you for your honesty. I respect all of you immensely. My husband and I are just learning and can you all the advise you all are willing to give. The old owner is just breathing down our throats to use IWB! UGH!!!No. Never heard of them. My opinion? Did they email you to try to sell their service? They do that really well. The rest, not so great.
Googled them and their pitch is "Cheap hotels, holiday reservations, and online hotel bookings'
Your rates are not 'cheap' ... why go with this? Please listen to the wise ones on this forum who give you their honest opinions. They've been in business for years and know what they are talking about.
You said your money is tight, and what you really need is a reliable online reservation system, not a cheesy third party booking site with an outdated website that advertises CHEAP.
Being honest..

Why? Why does the old owner care? Ask that question.jamesandjill said:Thank you for your honesty. I respect all of you immensely. My husband and I are just learning and can you all the advise you all are willing to give. The old owner is just breathing down our throats to use IWB! UGH!!!
We are doing a lease to own. We do have a lease agreement that a lawyer did draw up. So do we need a booking agent? If so, why or why not?Easy peasy ... the old owner is not you. Is it lease to own? I hope you've got a legal agreement with your own lawyer.
As for her recommendations/advice: You can say 'Thank you We are considering it.' and then let it go.
I would..

Something I used to say to guests who said, ' the previous owners did it like this' - they're not here any longer, we are.

What does your lease agreement say?We are doing a lease to own. We do have a lease agreement that a lawyer did draw up. So do we need a booking agent? If so, why or why not?Easy peasy ... the old owner is not you. Is it lease to own? I hope you've got a legal agreement with your own lawyer.

I am assuming as long as you make your monthly payment you owe no allegiance to the former owner. Your website is set up, you can take online reservations albeit basic set up. Folks can still book a room on line. Sure reservation key would be great if you can afford it but why pay an OTA that is old and dated and one that majority of innkeepers think is a joke.We are doing a lease to own.

If you're saying that the prior owner was using IWB then you should be in a position to know if the business has been gettiing results from that use and if it was of value to the business and make your choice from that information.We are doing a lease to own.
