9. Any other comments or feedback on "the Other B" please feel free to share them here:
- You can't underestimate how important a good breakfast is.
- I prefer to eat in the dining room but like to have individual tables. If Breakfast wasn't offered I would stay at a hotel.
- filled out by european innkeeper, probably not representative for your market.......
- It amazes me how many people call their place a B&B and then send you down the street for a meal.
- Took me a moment to realize I had to scroll down to find the survey questions. Also took a moment to realize I can mark more than one choice per question.
- Great coffee makes the breakfast even better! But let me have it ahead of breakfast, so I can enjoy it.
