Does anyone do this at B&Bs? Have you seen this much? If so, do you think this is done more at larger or smaller properties?
Had a call tonight for some rooms in October and was asked "Do you have discounts for booking rooms that are still vacant at the last minute?" Tell me, why would I say "yes" to this caller when the date they're looking at is about a month away? It is actually almost more difficult to have added last minute guests for me since I do everything pretty much myself. Why would I want to charge less for more aggravation? I get the idea that some money is better than none, really I do. Heads in beds and all that.
I think I commited myself to have a gasoline special in October though. haha!
Thoughts??
