In a typical off-season we will usually close out selected weekdays to get our maintenance done and do our own vacations. For the first time EVER this year we have very little inside maintenance to do and so we are considering staying open.
Because our off-season traffic is almost exclusively "quiet get-a-way" traffic, we're thinking of offering a deeply discounted weeknight rate and not providing breakfast (because we've found that these folks either skip breakfast all together or want to eat really late, and we're not willing to give away an entire morning just for one couple to eat). We would put out coffee/tea and probably mini-muffins or biscotti at a set time, and then the guests can access it all morning until check-out time.
My question is how to advertise this? I'm thinking along the lines of "no stress, no deadlines" kind of thing, "keep your own hours", etc. but I can't think of anything catchy. Any ideas? Thoughts on whether or not this will fly are appreciated as well.
Little Blue, if you're out there, I think you had offered something similar to this with no breakfast, or continental, and I seem to remember you were happy with results...anything I should know up front to get ready to put this out there?
