Joey~ I used to travel a lot and started staying at B&Bs because I got tired of nasty hotels. I don't need to chat with the owner or learn their life stories, but it's nice to have someone recommend a restaurant (who has actually eaten there) or give directions instead of a high school girl look at you like you have three heads when you ask how to get to XYZ.
Hotels have gotten nicer and more comfortable over the years, the mattresses have improved and I really like the choice of pillows now. (I used to keep a favorite in my car for that very reason.)
Morticia ~ I haven't decided on renaming it yet. Current owner has the domain name, but that is in my offer that I get it. The home was built in 1880 and you know we like to name our property here in the South, but the current name has no historical significance. With her extremely low return rate, I see no reason to keep it other than it's listed on several sites and the sign is on the house. There's no particular 'goodwill' attached to the business, but there's nothing BAD either. I'm thinking it might cost more to change it than just leave it. It's on the historical register which brings its own set of rules and regs. The worst part is that it's an awful blue color, takes an act of congress to change the color and it's know to locals as "that blue one on the river."
