Do you really want to help the economy?

Here is a sure fire way to start the economy moving again. Don’t do what one of my guest just did to me!
I just got a call from a guest who has a standing reservation with me every month. He said he had to cancel this month because his boss thought staying at a B&B would look like he was pampering himself and they did not want the client that he was coming to see think that they were spending his money foolishly….Are you kiddig me, I asked? Nope, he was not kidding. He is now staying at a chain hotel for the same price as what he was staying with me for. Ok, business people, where is the common sense? You want to get things moving again, start helping the local business. The chains have corporate backing and will make it through this whatever you want to call it. I’m not finished with this one yet!
