This is a question for those of you who have all of your rooms in-house (not cabins etc). If you had 6 rooms and took one out of circulation (at least for a year) would you:
a) block it off online for reservations, but still show it as if the room is still there and part of the rooms
b) take it out of all marketing, ie off the website, and off the reservation program entirely?
c) other/depends
**Background - the room we have taken out of circulation is the one that is rarely booked with the detached bath. The room is now occupied by our 18 year old daughter, who is working at the inn and completing her education. We foresee her living in it until the B&B sells, which is the other part of the equation, if I remove it from the web info then it appears we have one less guest room. There won't be any further revenue from that room (for this innkeeping family) but could be for the next innkeeper/owners. Thank you for your responses.
