Seems that the innkeeper in the 2nd scenario has spent a lot more time and energy getting her negative experience to slam the industry than she did running her own place. When I read the article I didn't know she was the one that wrote that negative book. Makes sense now.
It think this was a great article and an important lesson for aspirings..

That book was making the rounds on the forum innkeeper book club, not sure who has it now, but maybe they can cough it up and pass it on? The entire book is negative, she hated the guests, hated the business, hated everything. I found it quite enlightening myself! I think it IS A GOOD read for those who want to open an inn.
I think it is pretty good that she had an inn for a measely couple of years and still get press, which is what bugs me. Now the author of the articles lives very near me, yes, 15 miles away, so too bad he didn't interview inns in the area. I know you know of the inn in the city with the single innkeeper who has the funny "Policies" page and terrible website and only accepts paypal. Well she is simply delightful in person. She would be a grand interviewee.

and I could be the negative one...no, not moi! Everything is sunshine and posies. I would never share that rubbish in an interview, I would be The Carter Family exemplified and "
Keep on the sunny side..."
