Well I stuffed us up with a 2 night min this weekend, which is a local college graduation, bass tournie, sailing regatta and other things.
We are not a 2 night min location for 95% of the year.
I had it on as 2 night min, and had people pleading with us for just one night, and I turned them all away. So now we have three rooms booked and three rooms open! I have it so I can accept any online rez all day today FOR today, so hopefully we will pick up a couple more.
This is what new or aspiring innkeepers don't get, we are NOT a destination B&B, "if you build it they will come" does not apply to many of us. We have to work dang hard to fill rooms, and so I stuffed us up. I opened it up for one night last Sunday for this weekend, and so far nuttin'!
At least we have the three two-nighters here. So it was effective for that. You know the saying work smarter not harder? I love that saying, but bills still need to be paid, and April sucked big time!
